 Joseph Perrella of Charles street, center on the Elm football team, is not likely to play any more football this season, as he is suf- fering from broken arm. But he did not get it playing football. It was on his way home from work Wednesday that he fell and frac- tured the right arm below the elbow. The fracture was reduced by Dr James Grady.
 Last evening about 11:40 the big engine No 3S6 crashed into a COuDtC ol Sdl oil IhO eluSh near the Jackson bridge, and Eugene Cusky, yard foreman, was badly shaken up by the collision in addition to having his left arm frac- tured. John T. Donovan, round. house foreman, was in charge of the big engine, and while taking it to- ward a siding to turn 1t around, sent it into string of freight cars which was to go on a freight run we'll junction. Although the big en- zine was injured very little, two freight cars were almost demolished. Cusky, who was in the cab for the purpose of throwing the switches for Donovan, was thrown out. He was carried to the office of Dr George w. Russell, where his injuries were dressed. The Hartford wrecking crew cleared the tracks.
 It seemed like old times last evening in the basement of the block on Bank street, where Frank Sheridan keeps his cafe, as one of those old time suppers were given. It was proposed few days ago by Jerry" Shananhan of Railroad Hill street, who said he would donate a pig for a pig supper.

There was an abundance of pig, rabbits and turkey, donated by the different members of the group" and prepared by local chefs in such a delicious manner that the feast was fit for the gods" Among those present were Charles Bauby, Henry o'Connor. Edward Donahue, Frank Sheridan, Joseph Begnal, John Carroll. Florence Clohessey and John McKeon of Derby.
 A honeymoon in a hack! And the bridal couple accompanied by clarionet player who signalled their ride through the streets of Brook lyn. The residents of this section have seen and heard of all kinds of honeymoons the past few years and thought the limit was reached when a couple about year ago spent their wedding day in riding in the trolley cars around the city; but a Lithu- anian couple on Wednesday morning went them one better. They 'cabbed" all morning through Brooklyn and Town Plot. The cou- pie is said to be Mir and Mrs Charles Lubraitis.

Notwithstanding the downpour of rain a large number of their friends followed them for some distance, but at length grew tired. Every few minutes the musician would strike up a few notes on the cIariOnet to ! attract the attention of the people 1 on the streets where the hack rolled ! along.
