The Police Commissioners Hear of
 Tyler street Family JRra-The Case Continued - Rules Adopted Which Restrict Policemen.
 Mayor Lewis and the full Board of Police Commissioners were entertained last evening by recital of the Wes- Waas family jars and the story possessed enough interest and material for amusement to keep the commits sioners in laughter much of the time. The parties are all German residents of Tyler street and they don't seem to have dwelt in peace and harmony together. Chickens, billy goats and women have caused difficulties. Tho force of the feud was observable in the outbursts of wrath that startled the commissioners and called into activity all the energies of Clerk Pigott, who brandished n big knife in the mir and threatened to de- molish the whole crowd unless they preserved order becoming the place and time.
 It seems that n summer day, July 25, Mrs Weis, wife of Philip Weis of 20 Tyler street. went out to milk the goat while the shades of evening were falling. She re- turned to the house with her pail of foaming lacteal fluid and was talking in the evening quietude to her devoted Weis, when Polce- man Waas entered and threw dismay into the household by seizing MT. Weis and knocking Mrs. Weis. down and spilling her milk He dragged Weis to the gate, when young man named Lynch interfered and separated them. The neighbors were there and saw the naughty policeman abuse the pensive Mir. Weis. The police commissions CTS were asked therefore to take such action as seemed right.
 The case went over until the next regular meeting of the board as Officer Waas was not ready with his testimony.
 Commissioner Sheldon presented the fol- lowing rules, which he said had been on the l table for six months. They were adopted:
 No member of the police department shall en- dorse any application for license for the sale of | spirtuous or Intoxicating liquors become surety as bondsnnn for any person obtaining such H. | cense.
 No member of the police department shall become | or surety for any other person arrested upon criminal charge except relatives within the degrees of parent, child brother. sister or wife
