BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

Court E. R. Crosby, No 120, will hold it's regular meeting to-mor- row evening instead of Friday. Elec- ton of officers will be held, conse- quently the meeting is likely to be well attended as there are several candidates for some of the offices.
 Michael Musavage of James street was badly burned while at work in the Benedict and Burnham factory yesterday afternoon. Michael was laboring in the rolling mill when he apparently got too near boiler and was severely scorched, He was attended by Dr Brown.
 A switcher and the train leav- ing this city for Danbury at o'clock last evening collided near the Meri- den junction but luckily no one was hurt to any extent and the cars were not badly injured. The switcher was apparently trying to steal switch, for the regular, according to the i trainmen, had the right of way and | should not have encountered the switcher on leaving this city. It was close to the rOund-hOuse, near the curve where so many accidents have happened. that the collision oc- cured. The light switch engine was l deraled and the express car of the i train was so 'bunged up' that it's contents had to be unloaded and l brought back to the station. The Adams Express company sent a wag- on down to the wreck and brought the articles in the express car. % It l took a wrecking crew about an hour i to clear the rails and the train from Danbury into this city was about half an hour behind time
 -Because of the remonstrance against the transferring of her li- cense from 10S0 Bank street to 1133 i Bank. it is said that Mrs. Ottillie Hellmann will withdraw her applica- i tion to have her wine emporium 1 changed. The saloonkeepers having { become alarmed at the statement of i the Rev J. M. Gleeson, pastor of St Patrick church, that he would op- 1 pose the license of every saloon in this section within two hundred feet l of school or church property, realize what will happen if crusade is started. Consequently it is under stood that much pressure has beon
 brought upon the applicant during the past couple of days to withdraw the application and allow the saloon
 to remain where it is. There really
 will be a big fight on it if the appli- cation is heard before the county commissioners and there is no tell
 ing where it will end There are several saloons in Brooklyn within
 two hundred feet of church and
 school property, saloons that have
 been here for years and the proprie-
 tors do not wish to stack up against
 bunch of trouble at present More
 over the place where Mrs Hellmann
 wishes to move her saloon is said to be only one hundred and sixty feet on direct line from church
 property. There seems to be some
 question as to what would happen : should the transfer be allowed and
 there are several rumOrs as to what would result from the change
