BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

l mere Will pC q vi 49,
Junior Amateur league this evening.
A months mind mass will be eel
ebrated at st Patrick's church Satur-
day morning at O'Clock for the late
John Lynch of Bank street.
Jeremiah Devine, Alderman Ma
lone and Benjamin Kelsey were APP
pointed a committee to escort Mayor
Thoms to the Lyceum on Friday
evening where he will deliver an adj
dress to the members of the Brooklyn
and Town Plot Improvement So
cieties.
james Kelly, fireman on the
New Haven road, is at the Brookside
home as his actions last evening were
such that it is thought he is insane.
Kelly was rather noisy in the freight
yard near the Meriden junction last
evening and the other men, mindful
of the murder there few weeks ago,
gave him a wide berth. Later he
entered saloon on South Leonard
street and while there collapsed. The
charity department was notified and
Kelly was removed to Brookside.
The people of Brooklyn can
scarcely believe their eyes as they
looked across Bank street and saw
workmen actually engaged on the ex-
tension of Liberty street an improve
ment which has been sought for years
and years. The men are working
right under the railroad tracks, the
west side of the coal yard, and some
of the rocks that have already been
hauled out are indeed large. This
stone will come in very handy when
bridge is being built and much of
Ii will be used on the opposite side
of the river. Although there are only
about a dozen men employed they are
making much Roadway.
Work has been stopped temper
arily on the extension OF Clark street,
due no doubt to the supposition that
John Henderson, jr will get out an
injunction should the city proceed &c
have him remove his house until he
is offered more benefits than at first
agreed upon. Mr. Henderson said this
morning that he had no intention OF
blocking the work, provided the city
should meet him half way. They
have taken no notice of my appeal and
have made no effort to effect a settle
ment with me. Consequently | have
placed the matter in the hands of
my attorney, Mr. Bronson, and 1t will
be decided by him what course we
shall take. | think Mr. Bronson and
the city officials will come to some
agreement so the work may be con-
tinued, but.if they don't ] suppose the
injunction will have to come" Mr.
Henderson was not present at the
meeting of the Brooklyn Improve
ment society last evening nor is he
likely to be present for any length
of time at the meeting to be held
next Friday evening at which the
mayor will make an address, as he
has another meeting to attend that
evening. Still he declared this morn
ing that he would try to find time to
call at the Lyceum for awhile. At the
special meeting of the Brooklyn I'm
provement society held last evening
President jeremiah Devine submitted
proposition which came from Mr.
Henderson. He is willing to avoid
all litigation II the city will agree
to buy his property for a lump sum
and pay his attorneys fees. He
thinks that the benefits OF $4,000
awarded him by the bureau OF assess
ment are by far too small and Is not
likely to accept them under any con-
sideration. The members discussed
the subject for some time but they
realized that their voice in the matter
Is small as Il rests between the city
and Mr. Henderson. In view of what
Mr. Henderson has done for Brooklyn
and the active interest he took In the
Brooklyn society until a short time
ago, the following resolution, intro
duced by Patrick Mcnamara, was
passed.
Whereas. This society wishes to
express its approval and appreciation
of the untiring zeal and energy Of
John Henderson. Jr. in his efforts to
secure for the Brooklyn district sew
eral important public improvements.
and
Whereas. After several years Of
earnest endeavor his and our fordest
hopes are about TO be realized By the
opening 81 Clark street and Liberty
street extensions. and
Whereas. His honor. Mayor w.
Z Thoms. has accepted an invitation
from this society to deliver an adj
dress on municipal affairs in ST Pat
Tick's Lyceum hall on May 1. there
fore. be II
Resolved. That We extend a cor.
dial invitation to John Henderson Jr
to attend said meeting"
