 Charles Ubraitis of Green street fell Saturday evening and badly fractured his right arm Ubraitis walked on piece of ice which the rain had failed to wash away and as result he kerflopped.
 The death of Mrs Hennessey on Saturday removed one of the con- spicuous characters of Brooklyn. AL most everyone in this section and many in other parts of the city knew her. She was a frequent visitor to the police station and to newspaper offices to air her complaints about the way the boys bothered her.
 The parlor of the Brooklyn Ath- letic club has been thoroughly re- novated and is now looking spick and span. A new carpet has been laid, new furniture put in and the whole place newly furnished. The club this year expended the money on the rooms in preference to giving a celebration on the anniversary.
 The friends of Thomas Derwin of Draher avenue are making an ef- fort to secure for him the janitorship of the Bishop street school. If the members of the board of education come to an agreement the choice will be made at the meeting this evening. Derwin has been life long democrat, is a faithful worker for the party and the voters in this section think he is deserving of recognition. There are several candidates for the posi- tion and maybe the selection may be deferred for a week or more.
 Joseph c. Smith, president of the Junior Amateur Baseball league, has called a meeting of the managers to be held next Monday evening in the rooms of the Quaker Athletic club on Bank street. In all probability off, cers will be elected and preliminary arrangements made for the coming season. The league was organized last year and had a very successful season. Eight teams were in line and after a very close race the Quak- CTS won the championship. defeating the Pioneers in the deciding game. "Joe" Smith did much to make the league a success but he has decided to resign the presidency. He has not the time 10 devote to the league and consequently the managers will have to look around for his successor.
 The check valve in the sewer pipe near the Bank street bridge worked to perfection Saturday and although the Naugatuek river was very high none of the surface water was forced back upon the street. The check valve which was put in the pipe about eight years ago. for just such occasions as Saturday had not been looked after until a few weeks ago when Robert C. Walker. the drug gist. sent a communication to the board of public works. A few days later Superintendent Ray of the sewer department. came over and had the pipe looked after. The Naug- atuek rose SO high on Saturday that 1t flooded the sidewalks on some parts of North Riverside street A few eel lars along that street received a lit- tie of the over abundance of water.
