BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

T. B. Walker was a delegate from the Third church to the church confer ence held in Naugatuck to-day.
 The residents of Wards flats are evidently beginning to realize that it is against a city ordinance to throw papers in the street and the past week or more the usual supply of dirty pa pers has been conspicuous by its ab- sence.
 There seems to be very little dis cussion in Brooklyn at the present time over the various appointments Mayor Thoms is likely to make when he returns. The absence of the mayor has stopped all the sidewalk confer ences that were being held after cleo tion, and there is Hull before the storm. Once the lingo in regard 10 the makeup of the various boards be- gins again, there'll be no stop until all the appointees are known.
 It is understood that there is no truth in the rumor that the restaurant of the American Brass combine for it's office help is to be discontinued. It is stated on good authority that the restaurant has been a big sue cess and the dining room has been un- able to accommodate all who wish to patronize the place. The help highly appreciates the food, which they re- ceive at most reasonable rates, so cheap, in fact, that it is impossible for the company to make any money. The restaurant is simply conducted for the convenience and accommoda- tion of the company's employees.

The cases against Charles J. Saw. dey and John H. Curley, owner and editor of the Sunday Telegram, re- spectively, which went up to the su- perior court from the lower court, were decided to-day. The decision against Sawdey was a fine of $100 Sawdey disposed of his interest in the paper shortly after his arrest to Dr Peter T. jKeeley, and left town.

Files Suit to Haze State Measure
Declared Unconstitutional

Philadelphia. May 22.-Steps were taken to-
day by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to
test the constitutonality of the two-cent fare
bill recently passed by the Pennsylvania Legls-
iature. Counsel for the railroad company filed
bill in equity in the Common Pleas Court
against the county OF Philadelphia. enjoining
the defendant from demanding any penalties
for violation of the bill The measure was
passed on April and will go into effect Oc-
tober |.
il is set forth that if the two-cent fare bill
is enforced the charters of several rail-
roads will be substantially altered by the cur
failing and restricting of their corporate rights
in respect To charges for transportation of pas
sengers; that il will reduce their revenue from
that class of traffic to such extent as to
render the passenger business non-compensative
and will work a hardship and injustice to the
stockholders.
The bill concludes that the measure is un-
constitutional and in violation of the interstate
