Police Notes.

There were more than the usual number
of Sunday drunks yesterday. This is &C.
counted for by the police authorities from
the fact that the saloons were generally
closed, and that the habitues of the saloons
laid in q supply of liquor on Saturday night,
and after drinking themselves drunk went
out on the street and were scooped in by
the patrolmen.
Among the arrests for violation of the
Sunday liquor law yesterday the following
were reported at the Grand street precinct:
George a. Basserman and Charles Basser-
man, Rock brewery; Timothy J. Callahan,
285 GraEd Michael Cannon, 22S Hamilton;
Mr.. Dahn. Hamilton street; aad Joseph

street. Daniel Casey was soon afterwerd
locked ap for beating his wife. There was a
fight in Schmauder's saloon, 153 Congress
avenue, and William j. Reilly received fear
full cut on his head, as he said, from a bill
Hard cue. It was about three inches long
and quite deep. Reilly was taken 20 the
police Office and DIR. Bellosa was summoned.
The man would not permit his wound
to be examined or dressed and
the police had 50 handeuf his
hands behind his back before the doctor
could apply the necessary plesters. Shortly
after ward William Sehmauder was arrested
and a friend deposited collateral for bond.
Officer Biesell arrested John Emerson for in
sulting women on George street. Edward

: George Reuter- was arrested last evening
for drunkenness and resisting Officer Hack

There was neighhorhood row on Hamilton
street last night about IL O'Clock The rule
was to hit head wherever you see it. u
There were several bloody noses and black
eyes. Six of the rioters were arrested and

probably another of ths-results of the rigid
enforcement of the Sunday liquor law.
Among the Sunday arrests reported at the
central station last night were John Hig-
gins and Frank Mcfarland, who were en-
gagged in drunken broil in the vicinity OF
