 Richard Condon of Bank street
 was bitten in the leg last evening by
 dog said to be owned by Charles
 Singler of Seymour street. Condon | was passing James street when he
 was nipped by the canine. The
 wound was cauterized by Dr Farrell. -Yesterday afternoon small boy
 while running across Bank street
 near South Leonard, collided with
 the horse of Dr Cooley and was thrown to the ground but not in-
 jured. Tn the effort to bring his horse to halt before it hit the boy, the harness on the animal snapped. The members of the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement con- mittee were evidently more inter ested in the democratic primaries than the meeting which was to have been held in the lyceum last evening. Only few of the committee put in. an appearance, consequently no meeting will be held until the first Friday in October.
 The third ward primaries was not nearly as exciting as was expect ed and the vote turned out was not very, large. The Improvement ticket got their men out early and the bet ter of the first part of the contest, but towards the end the regulars worked hard and won out by a safe margin. Brooklyn boiled big vote for the regular ticket while the West, end and Bunker hill did not do as we'll as the Improvement ticket had hoped they would do.
 A small fire in the residence of MT and Mrs Joseph Shobrinsky of S39 Bank street caused considerable excitement last evening about 12 O clock, and although the damage was not heavy, it looked for time as though the building would go up. It was due to the work of Joseph Lusky that the fire was prevented from spreading as he rushed in when the room was full of smoke and at the risk of being severely burned. quenched the blazing curtains, and did effective work before the firemcn arrived. Shobrinsky keeps saloon at the above address and last even- ing shortly before closing, time went up stairs for something which he wanted. The match which he light ed he threw aside when he thought it had gone out. He then closed the. door and went down stairs. A few minutes later Lusky, Joseph Lee and Joseph Bowling, who were stand ing on the walk across from Sho- brinskys residence saw smoke con- ing from the windows and immcdi- ately came to the conclusion that the place was on fire. Lusky rushed into the building while one of his copl- panions sent in the alarm. Lusky found the door leading to the room opened. The room was full of smoke but Lusky rushed to the portieres which were blazing and pulled them from their fastenings. Meanwhile he shouted the alarm through the house and MT Shobrinsky was quick ly upstairs and into the room occu pied by his children, Otto and Ray mond. He carried them out and placed them in the arms of their who had also been awaken ed and taken from the house. The fire did not amount to much and tine will not exceed $50. Lusky's hands were burned to some extent.
