Frederick Lallier, who left
 Brooklyn for Denver few months | ago for the benefit of his health, has returned to this city. much im- proved after his trip through the west. As Lallier was well pleased with Denver and was feeling very we'll while there, 1t was thought that he would remain there for a couple of years at least. But it appears that the longing for home was too much for him especially when he heard that his mother was ill so he ] landed in town Saturday. Lallier lin all probability will remain fin
 Brooklyn for some time at least.

 Because of little tilt between Patrick McNamara and Hans Ras- mussen, it looked for time last
 week as though the Brooklyn and Town Plot Improvement committee would split. But the conservative members of the organization suc- ceeded in preventing the promised eruption and the Town Plot members were pacified and agreed to remain in the fold. The trouble was caused by the difference in opinion of Messrs Rasmussen and McNamara and at the meeting Friday night, according to reports. McNamara made a motion that the Town Ploters be asked to withdraw from the committee of which they have been an essential
 part since its organization about a year awo. From Rasmussen's point of view. the committee would be able to accomplish much more than it is now doing. if every taxpayer in Brooklyn were made member of the society. He believes that if all who are paying into the exchecquer of the city were directly interested in the doings of the society which has la-
 bored diligently the past year to bring many Improvements to this section of the city, the society would
 have much more influence and their requests and petitions would be promptly attended to and not pigeon holed as they have been in the past.
 But Rasmussen's views are just the reverse of the dean of the Town Plot improvement seekers. It Is his inn pression that the rule of the few or the opinion of the few is far more beneficial than the voice of the many
