 George Benedoris of North Leon ard street is confined to his home with bad attack of rheumatism.
 Miss Nellie Madden and Miss Catherine Connors of Ansonia were visiting friends in this section yes terday.
 Joe Valont, employed in Rocco Di Orio's barber shop, has returned to work after weeks layoff because of the grip.
 John Harty and daughter of Vermont who have been visiting Mrs Johanna Harty of Bank street have returned home.
 Andrew Galvus, an employe of Holmes, Booth & Haydens, while at work yesterday on power press, had his right hand badly smashed. He was taken to his home on North Leon street.
 "A 3-years-old child by the name of Plebis, residing on Green street. narrowly escaped receiving fatal burns yesterday. It fell into large pan of boiling water and before 1t was pulled out by its mother had been badly scalded.
 A number of Brooklynites were at the meeting of the board of alder men last evening ready to express their opinion in regard to water me- ters, but the board did not care to handle the matter, so there was no chance for discussion.
 Something is coming Brooklyn's way. In the message of Mayor Thoms last evening he spoke of the crematory which will be erected in South Brooklyn. The residents of this section have endured almost ev- cry kind of an odOr and perhaps they'll become accustomed to the one that's coming.
 Although Commissioners Dona- hue and Murphy of the board of charities are not perhaps in love with each other, they are not likely to indulge in a hair pulling contest be- cause of their political sentiments. It was rumored that they were seen walking to Brooklyn arm in arm this morning.
 John Linguis of South Leonard street on whose property Oficer James Walsh shot a dog yesterday morning, was very indignant last evening because the animal had not been removed. He said that it was a shame that dead canine should be allowed to remain on h!s premises during the day, especially during this kind of weather.
 Brooklyn was represented at the meeting of the polo enthusiasts last evening, at which league was form ed and this section promises to have a five that will give the other teams a run for the championship. Hubert Cunningham will in all probability manage the All Brooklyn five and will without doubt do his utmost to form a quintet that will be a credit to this part of the city. The team will have plenty of rooters to urge 1t on. for when it comes to enthusiasm the Brooklyn crowd is in the front ranks.
 Some arrangement should be made by the police department so that when an officer on duty in this section is compelled to go to the city court in the morning to act as a witness another man should be de- tailed in his place for the hour or more that he is gone. The need of ah oficer was felt yesterday morning when dog with its hind legs broken suffered for some time on South Leonard street, before an oficer ap- peared to end it's sufflerings. A call for an oficer came from the Box factory but as Oficer James Walsh was In the police court. there was nothing doing until he returned. After leaving court he hustled to South Leonard street and shot the dog. The incident of yesterday only goes to show that it is not the part of wisdom to leave beat unprotected for any length of time. There Is no telling when a serious fight will oc- cur or some other matter of import ance at which time an oficer is in- valuable and indispensable. An ofi- cer should be on hand at all timez ready to answer call.
