Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-04-09
BROOKLYN BRIEFS,

Charles Selvinsky of Summit street while at work yesterday after' noon in the Plume & Atwood factory smashed the index finger of his ieft hand. He was working on a press.
 James Templeton who was in' jured in the wreck at Derby tnis morning Is well known n this sec. tion. The Brooklyn polo players who came up on the early train saw the engine that blew up nId viewed the wreckage for several minutes. They saw Templeton but none or them talked with him as he was De- ling treated by a physician. Tho Brooklyn players were returning from Bridgeport where they played polo last evening.
 The showing mace by Gene Reardon of Meriden, the boxer, at the Auditorium last evening was no surprise to those who had seen him at the Brooklyn Athletic club the past few days. Reardon is like an elephant in action and has the color of we'll known fruit when it comes to taking punishment. Moreover ne seems to be an intimate friend or laziness and for the few days he was supposed to be training here, the two were together the greater part or the time.
 The Brooklyn people should make a strong protest against the abolition of the gates at the Bank street crossing. The number or vehicles that come from Meadow street across the tracks, not to men, tion the traffic that is soing along Bank street. throughout the day would make the crossing very dan gerous without gates and flagman. Even though the new station will take away much of the Bank street traffic, nevertheless the crossing will need protection at all times, because of the passing of freight trains and switches working in the yard.
 Mrs Anthony Didsky of Green street was to-day in a mass of burns, her hair and face being badly scorched last evening when she i, poured some kerosene on smouldering fire in her kitchen stove. Shortly after 6 o'clock last evening the woman saw that her fire was not going very we'll, so it was case of bringing the oil can to the stove to keep the dying embers from expiring. It would have been all right had not the woman leaned over the stove just as the oil struck a 1 live spark. The woman's dress im- mediately took ablaze and she would undoubtedly have burned to death | had not her husband rushed to her aid. Grabbing the rubber coat which he had taken off few minutes before he wrapped it around his wife and thus he put out the fire. Mrs Didsky's face suffered most and the skin peeled off in patches. Her hair was also considerably singed. She will recover. but in the future she l is. likely to take no part :a making a dividend for the Standard Oil com pany.
 Dave Cronan and John Welt met last evening and completed ar- engagements for a wrestling match to take place next Thursday evening. The bout will be held In roncordia hall. It will be of an hours dura- tion providing neither man wins be- fore that time has elapsed and 1t will be for side bet of s25. Welt want ed a finish match best two out of three falls, but Cronan would not consent to that as he said the time 1 is too short for him to get in a con- dition for long match. It is two out of three falls, but should there be only one fall during the hour, the man who gets that fall wins the match. It should be corkingly good contest as both are rugged boys. Welt is something Of strong man and though he may rot know as much about the grappling game as the Brooklyn boy, he keeps in the best of condition. Cronan has not wrestled in some time but his ad
 mirers are of the opinion that with few days work, he should be ir condition to take the measure oi the German boy.
 If you have to suffer from any o the ills that flesh is heir to, it ma, be necessary to see doctor. Tn,
 important thing is to get your pre- scrlption filed where you are sure o careful attention and pure drugs Walker, the Brooklyn druggist, fill the bill in this respect.
