 Miss Katharine Sweeney who has been spending the past two weeks in Newark has returned home.
 Edward Dunphy, the Bank street grocer, has purchased a new rubber tired carriage for his trotter.
 The Brooklyn Athletic club will give barn dance in their rooms on Bank street on Friday evening. June 21.
 Riverside street for its entire length has been in a very good con- dition all spring; only about a half foot of mud!
 It is said that one of the republi- can candidates for alderman in the first ward in the fall will be William Loefflar of Town Plot.
 Manager Michael Madden of the Brooklyn Athletic club will De pres ent this evening at the meeting of the City Amateur league. The Brooklyns and Washington Hills are scheduled to meet tomorrow.
 Last evening about S:15 one of the wires which supported the trolley wire near Killoughey's store on Bank street broke and as 1t fell, it missed by inches woman who was passing. To the end of it was attached the large leather attachment which would have seriously injured the wo- man had it struck her.
 During the winter and rainy weather teamsters will find it very pleasant to pass under the Bank street bridge. Although the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement commit tee made an effort to have the rail- road concern fix the bridge so that no dripping would come down, it is evi- dent that the matter was ignored. During the week carpenters have made covering on either side so pedestrians will escape the refuse of the bridge but 1t will come down orl the street.
 The Business Mems Baseball team of Brooklyn played its first game of the season yesterday afternoon on Corcoran's lots. and though 1t was de- feated blythe score of 14 to 8 by the Letter Carriers. who opposed them. nevertheless the game was not bad start. The Brooklynites had not handled a ball some of them in years, while the mail deliverers are practic- ing daily and have an ex-city league player, "Wailie" Dalton, for their twirler. Some declare that the full nine innings were played while others claim that each side only went to the bat four times. John Mahaney made the longest hit of the day when he drove the ball from the home plate over to the railroad tracks.

FACED EACH OTHER
Dispute Cot Hot and Judge Peas
 ley Called Order.

The peace and harmony that has dwelt over the proceedings at bar meetings Saturday mornings in the district court since Attorney N, R. Bronson gave up his weekly attacks upon Judge Cowell. was broken this morning by brief. but fierce low between Attorneys Fintou ]. Phelan and P. l.. Wood. The latter was feeling the effects of being de- feated in a case before the jury yes terday and Attorney Phelan, usually as mild as spring weather. barring the present season, was madder than ten Danbury matters.
 Judge Peasley was calling out tho trial list, trying to get some cases as- signed for hearing next week and when he reached the case of John R. Anderson against Julius Rosenfeld, up jumped Attorney Wood and clairaed 1t for the trial list. At tho same mo- ment up jumped Attorney Phelan and shouted that the case was not ready for trial. Attorney Wood still claimed 1t was, and was beginning to state his reasons for so doing when Attorney Phelan burst out thus
 "This is a suit for interest on a mortgage, and time and again we've offered this man, (Attorney Wood his money, and with his usual dilatory methods, refused to accept 1t.
 We don't want his money. We've got all we want. But this is fraud ulent claim. My client was kept out of his property by an obdurate tenant. nevertheless he Is willing to pay this man (Woo0 his money.
 "Now as I have said, this is suit for interest, but later this man in- tends bringing foreclosure proceedings, making double costs and losing fur ther time with his usual dilatory tac- tics. He has been penalized by the court"
 'That IS not true" retorted Attorney Wood, vigorously.
 Tt is true" snapped Attorney Phe- Ian, "and you know 1t Didn't you pay me $10 in the superior court in New Haven?'
 Tt is not true" insisted Attorney Wood.
 Ut is true" shouted Attorney Phe- Ian, stepping forward and pointing toward Attorney Wood.
 Tt is not true" retorted Attorney Wood.
 "It is true" snapped back At torney Phelan. This man paid me $l0 in the superior court by order of the judge. He was penalized and 1t was not the first time"
 "Orler, order. gentlemen" said Judge Peasley and Sheriff Smith gave the corner of his desk whack with his gavel, to emphasize the courts com mand and at the same time got ready to jump between the belllgerent dls- ciples of Blackstone if necessary.
 That ended the storm. Both lawyers resumed their seats and the court said he would pass over the cause of the outburst of anger until next Sat urday. .aS
