BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The Moral club will meet this evening in the lyceum.
 It is a long time since anything has been heard of Mayor Hans Ras- mussen of Town Plot.
 Miss Lena Wood, nurse in the New Haven hospital, is spending a few days in Brooklyn.
 The staging on the Mahaney building has been taken down as the structure is now we'll under way.
 Brooklyn had a goodly repre- sentation at the banquet in honor of Robert Emmet in K. of c. hall last Ievening.
 What has happened to all the Brooklynites that were endeavoring a few months ago to have their names placed in the pugilistic hall of fame? | The residents of Brooklyn above the brewery will in the future re- ceive their first mail in the morning about 9 o'clock instead of 11:3O at which hour they have been accus- toned to get their early mail. The 9:30 delivery will be made by Willie" Wilcox although the first delivery was formerly in the hands of Lettercarrier Mclean. The resi- dents of the upper part of the Brook lyn district may thank the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement com mittee for the change in the hours of delivery as the matter was first brought to the attention of the post master by that organization. Jere- miah Devine has been an ardent ad- vocate of an earlier mail for the dwellers beyond the car line and. is also of the opinion that there should be another delivery during the day in addition to what they now receive.
 John Puloski, youth residing on Porter street had very narrow escape from death yesterday and as it was, he was the recipient of a bad scalp wound which was dressed by Dr John E. Farrell, who found the boy in very serious condition when he was brought into his office yester- day afternoon about o'clock. Pulos- Xii who resides on the lower end of the street where railroad work has been going on, while out playing yes- terday afternoon found a dynamite cap which he handled for some time before he endeayored to make it ex- plode with a stone. As usual before the boy was aware of what had hap pened the dynamite was working and the cap exploded, the brass part of it striking the boy in the forehead. The piece of brass inflicted a very peculiar wound, Dr Farrell stating that 1t was one of the oldest cases he has seen in long time. The flesh on the boys forehead was torn of in such a manner as to cause a wound, triangular in shape. The piece of brass then went into the boys head, just skinned the skull and lodged on the top of his head between the skin and the skull. His head was a sight when he rushed in to his mother who thought that her son had been shot and she inn mediately after examining the wound saw that the boys head would have to be opened to get out the brass and this was accordingly done. To- day the child is resting comfortably with his head swathed in bandages- No serious results are anticipated. The doctor declares it was strange that the brass did not penetrate the skull and in his opinion the boy had very fortunate escape. About a year ago the same boy was afflicted with diphtheria but pulled through all right
