ing of the safety board Thomas Grady, the ex-trucking man, was ap- pointed a member of the super numerary police force. Another Brooklynite, James Madden, was made call man of the fire depart ment and in day or two will be made a permanent member of the force.
 William Lallier and Tom Me- Grath of this city, as well as a few others of the Niagara team includ- ing Pitcher Yates, who recently shut out University of Pennsylvania with one hit, were in Brooklyn this morn ing and were busily engaged shaking hands with their numerous friends. They were much disappointed with the showing they made yesterday against Yale and said that there was lot of hard luck in the game, al- though they admitted that some of their fielders played very poorly. Yates, who is very unassuming young fellow, would like to play with the Waterbury State league team af- ter the school year, provided he is given the salary he wishes. Many Brooklynites signified their intention of taking in the game this afternoon.

 Joseph Perrella, not the youth who is so well known in this sec tion but a namesake of his, is to-day suffering from scalp wound received last evening from the knife wielded by Rocco Capello who is now being sought by the police. Joe" is to be- come a benedict week from the coming Saturday and last evening MT and Mrs Capello gave him press ing invitation to take supper with them on Clark street. As Capello has always been friendly disposed toward him and as the formers bet ter half has also had nothing but good wishes for him, "Joe'' consented last evening to dine at the Capello resi- dence. When he arrived there last evening the table was spread with eatables which tickled the palate of the guest and he was lauding Mir and Mrs Capello to the stars. It is said that is where he made mis- take, for the eyes that he threw at Mrs Capello evidently made her hus- band jealous, but he held his temper until the opportune time. After making merry. for couple of hours Perrella arose to go and after thank ing the couple, he started out to the door, Without moments warning CapelIo thrust knife towards Per- rella's head but 1t was glancing blow and the wound inflicted was not serious, though the blood flowed free- ly. Capello took to his heels and is still missing. After Perrella was at tended to the police were notified, but Capello had skipped, but 1t is thought that he will be captured in a few days, as he is likely to return when he learns that Perrella Is not seriously injured. Perrella is not in- jured to such an extent that he will be unable to enter the matrimonial state on the day set.
 The many friends of Bill" Rey- holds. until a few days ago driver of the hose cart at the. Brooklyn engine house, are wondering why he has been removed to the Scoyill street house, to fill the vacancy of Driver Charles Booth, who was transferred to Brooklyn to fill Bills" shoes, AL though Chief Snagg declares that the change was not made for any par ticular cause, nevertheless Reynold' s friends claim that it was because of the incident on East Main street last week when the Brooklyn horses fell into the gully on East Main street while on their way to the fire in the Donahue block. The Burton street engine was out of commission. con- sequently it was up to Brooklyn to answer the call of 17 which was the number rung in the afternoon in ques- tion. All the other apparatus which was to attend the fire had arrived when the Brooklynites came tearing up East Main street with Driver Rey- holds and Captain Dennis Dunn on the seat. At Spring street was an engine sending out clouds of smoke ! nttA AioaC it ihPtooibiC to scC thing in front. Reynolds and Dunn. not knowing that there was an ex- eavation a few feet ahead of them where the Consolidated road was lay ing the double track, did not pull up the horses. and In another moment the horses and hosecart were in the ditch. But Reynolds. who is consid- cred one of the best drivers in the city, did not lose his head but dis [ playing much skill he held the horses on their feet and got the turnout out of the hole without anything be- ing injured. Any one who witnessed the incident could not possibly have blamed Reynolds for the accident. The writer happened to be c witnesz of the affair and if any one should be criticised it is those who did not warn Reynolds of the danger that was ahead of him. Nevertheless. fi Is claimed that the chief vas notified
 that everything was not just as ii should have been on that day and az a result Reynolds. % this friends de Iclare, was ehanged On Monday.
