 Yesterday afternoon some one in the tenement above the store of An thony Berthis of S69 Bank street threw lighted match down upon the awning. In moment the awning was ablaze. Fails of water were pressed into service to extinguish the blaze, but before the fire was quench- ed the awning was almost totally de- stroyed and the front part of the building was scorched. During the excitement some one threw a pail full of water through one of the windows Because fthe laying of the pipes for the high water service Washington avenue is torn up and engine company No is unable. to travel along this thoroughfare. Con- sequently the Brooklyn firemen will find it rather difficult to respond to calls from boxes 47, at the corner of South Main and Washington street. and 327, which is near Riverside l park. Consequently they will not answer alarms from these stations until the street is again in good con- dition for travel. Meanwhile engine ! company No 1 will take the place of the Brooklynites should these boxes be sounded.
 The four year old son of Daniel | Mcdonald of South Leonard street is at his home suffering from a broken thigh. The youth fell of a veranda Friday and was badly shaken up, re- ceiving several minor injuries in ad- dition to the above. The boy was out on the piazza and was leaning over the railing. He lost his balance and was precipitated to the ground many feet below. As the family live on the second floor of the building the boy took a big drop and when aid reach Ted him he was in an unconscious con- dition. He was carried into the house and Dr George Russell was called. Upon examination 1t was found that the child's left thigh was badly fractured. Although the boy is get ting on we'll considering his injuries, 1t will be many weeks before he will be able to get on the piazza again.
 John Johnson. a member of the B. A. c. Junior baseball team. broke the great toe of his right foot while playing yesterday with his team against the Rosebuds. Johnson as many players in amateur teams do was playing in his stocking feet. It was in the ninth inning when he made hit but on the way to first base he stubbed his toe. He knew that he had injured 1t badly because he was unable to use 1t further. A physician was called and it was found that the toe was broken. After the fracture was treated the young man was carried to his home in a carriage. The members of the Junior league seem to have hard luck in their games. The injury of yesterday makes about the fourth that has al. ready happened this season. If the ac- cidents continue 1t would be we'll for the managers to rig up some kind of an emergency hospital at the grounds. The race in the Junior league is hot one and the players take all kinds of chances to win a game.
