 It may take the city a little longer to complete the Clark street extension than it would an outside contractor, but the majority Of tax payers will undoubtedly be pleased to hear that the city will do the work itself. Numerous men who are out of work will be employed and many cases of want will be relieved. The work will be Godsend to many and will be welcomed by almost everyone even though it may cost few nun dred dollars more than if 1t were done by contractor.
 The Rev Charles D. Chunn, pastor of the Congregational church in Roxbury, Conn.,, will occupy the pulpit at the Third Congregational church at both the morning and ev- ening services the coming Sunday. MT Chunn is a candidate for the pastorship which is at present in the hands of the Rev U. deHart Gulick. Mir Gulick will preach in New York on Sunday. He will conduct ser vices at a church of which in a short time it is expected he will have charge. MT Chunn is not only pastor of the Congregational church in Rox- bury but is also principal of the school there. He is looked upon as a favorable candidate for MT Gulick's position and is expected to make very good impression, Sunday.
 William Rocktus of Bank street it at the Waterbury hospital suffer ing from a severe wound in the abdomen, caused by his own hands. Rocktus is the man who was found one morning about year ago on South Leonard street in an un- conscious condition. Although badly injured in a vital part, he could not account for the accident and for a day or two he would not speak of the injury. The police for a while thought he had been assaulted. but later learned that Rocktus had in- jured himself with a razor. Tester day afternoon the man entered the office of Dr J. F. Farrell. He said he was sick. Upon examining the man the physician found him badly cut near the abdomen. So serious was the wound that he immediately had Rocktus removed to the Water bury hospital. The man is thought to be somewhat demented, and after he recovers from the present injury his friends in all probability will place him in some retreat.

Two weeks ago the attendance at the meeting was not large becaus' 1t was a very stormy night, and thos. members that remained away coIlC hardly be blamed. This is the ex plantation offered by one of the mem bers this morning. and he stated thai the society is still very much inter ested in the effort to obtain improve ments for Brooklyn. It finally vol the Clark street extension and it il after others.
