A son has been born to Mir and
 Mrs John Doran of Poplar avenue.
 -Patrolman John Dunpny of
 Charles street, who was stricken with
 an attack of vertigo several weeks
 ago, went to New York to-day in
 company with. his brother, Matthew,
 to consult specialist. Dunphy may
 decide to stay for a while in St Vim
 cents hospital.
 Although the residents of Brook
 lyn were not aware of it, late mail
 collection has been made in this sec
 ton the past week or more. Although
 the last trip has always been the 5:45 collection, recently the box at the cor ner of Bank and North Riverside streets has been emptied. providing there was anything in it, at S:45. The
 box evidently has not been patrOnized, but it is undoubtedly because the pub
 lie was ignorant of the late collec- ton. No announcement was ever made of the late collection, conse- quently the people have been carry ing the mail which they wished to go before morning up to the postotfice.
 You can't keep a good man down." The friends of Hogan" Clark, noted for his brilliant goal tending while defending the cage of the Brooklyn Polo team, played with Meriden in the Connecticut league Saturday night. The Silver City quin- tette had the Wallingford aggregation for their opponents and the manner in which P. H. Clark kicked them out for Meriden made the fans wonder where he came from. Only one drive out of thirty got by him and Meriden won the game by the score of i to 1. Hogan" was pretty much the whole thing. No doubt about it. Hogan" is bound to keep in the limelight without any effort on his part.
 Another trolley car jumped the track on Bank street near James street last evening about o'clock and made a bee line for Baz's fruit store on the corner. But when the rolling stock struck the curb and hydrant in front of the fruit stand it came to a stop, the power having been turned off and the brakes applied. The car in charge of Motorman Prendervail and Conductor Pillows was going up Bank street when it left the rails and made bolt for James street. There were only two passengers on the car at the time and neither of them was injured. It is not an unusual thing fn hn ot point mentioned. but they generally get off the rails on the downward course.
 It was in Hans Rasmussen's about 10:30 last evening hat telephone bell was heard to ring and ring, but at such an hour the sage of the hill'' and his wife are buried in sleep. and last evening at that time they were as usual in the land of nod. No ans wer." said the hello girl, but the per son on the other end was persistent. He must be there." he replied. | Ring again." and it must have been !! | good old fashioned ring. for Hans | hustled down stairs partly dressed | who was calling him up ! 1t such an unearthly hour of the i light" Hello" came over the phone. | Hello answered Hans. Then there ! vas a pause. Well what is it. puttered Rasmussen. who was still | lalf asleep. "What do you think l Hans. about an hour ago the trolley umped the tracks on Bank street and | ried to go up James street. It sure Y would have gone up were James treet ten feet wider" Was Rasmus- on in the air? His fiery speeches at the meetings of the Brooklyn and Town 'lot Improvement meetings were mild n comparison to the utterances which anne from his lips last evening. If Ie only had his hands on "Fritzie" surely would have happen- d.
