DANGEROUS BOMBS.
Latest Device of the Small Boy to Destroy
Himself and Others.

''The small boy is with us once more" said
resident, ''to remind us of the approach of
the glorious Fourth, and the torpedo he has
with him this year is in the shape of giant
bomb that gives one the idea that murder is
being committed in the immediate vicinity
whenever one of them is exploded. The toy
pistols which were the cause of number of
cases of lockjaw among boys few years ago
and whose sale was prohibited by the Commits
sioners, were dangerous enough, to be sure,
but these big bombs are dangerous not only to
the boys, but they cause runaways and seri-
ously disturb sick and nervous people by the
loud explosions and so on.'' Yesterday morn
ing small boy set off one of these bombs in
back alley near Eleventh and o streets, and
Immediately there was a screaming and yelling
in the alley which caused everybody near by
to rush to the spot supposing that some one
had been killed. Then it was found that
colored boy, who gave his name as Johnny
Townley, about 10 years of age, had set off a
bomb ''to scare de chilluns," /" but he let go of
it too late and his hand was painfully burned.
There was an impromptu mass-meeting on the
the sidewalk and it was unanimously resolved
that the sale of these dangerous bombs should
be stopped.

RECALC1TRANT CoNsTABnEs.
A Lawyers Complaint About Delays In
Returning Writs.

''The constables seem to be as much of a
law to themselves as ever,n said lawyer
Duhamel the other day Snow 1 will give
you case. Some months ago 1 brought suit
before Justice l.. j. O'Neil in the case of Jacob
Lefo against Heyman Speer There were six
executions issued to Constable George Gibbons.
The constable made the levy upon the goods
of the defendant, and the goods were re-
plevied; but no return has ever been made to
the magistrate of any of these six writs.
Under the decision of our courts there is no
power invested in magistrates to compel con-
stables to make returns of writs. And it is
easSto see how great the detriment this state
of affairs is to business interests. The
Supreme Court of the District alone has ex-
clusives jurisdiction over constables, and the
only way a complaincr can have his satisfac-
tion when the constable withholds the writ of
execution is by applying to TIE Supreme
Court for rule to show cause. The action
of many of the constables has become a crying
evil This is not the only case by any means.
1t has become almost universal custom for
constables to retain in their own possession
writs of execution instead of returning them
within twenty days to the magistrates office,
according to the law.'

Notes From the Glen.

There are haunted places everywhere to be
seen by those who have eyes for ghosts. There
is a tent at Glen Echo with the cheerful device
OF skull and cross-bones over the door-hy,
and under it is inscribed: ''This tent is
haunted" A HERALD reporter poked his
head into the crack between two string ties
and said: "By whom, pray?n A saucy voice
within cried out "By three true-blue country
jays, of whom | am one, stranger. Depart.
before / materializep' ~
Giuseppe Vitale, the violinist, gave a most
artistic display of his ability to handle the bow
at yesterday mornings concert.
The art department has opened up under
canvas on the site where the art building will
stand. Professor j. Liberty Tadd is the direc-
tor. 1t will embrace drawing, designing, clay
modelling, wood carving, with outdoor classes
and studi work, and decorative and figure
work. The school OF physical culture has
been opened by DIR. Symes; the Delsarte
school by Miss King, and the business col
lege by Professor and Mrs. Spencer; while
Latin school and school of mathematics have
opened on the other side OF Minnehaha stream.
The electric lights flashed out for the first
time on Friday night.
> The projectors of Glen Echo, Messrs Baltz-
ley, say they did not contract for rainy June,
but that this showery spell probably occurred
by Uncle Jerry getting the water buckets in
tended for other regions so full they stopped
oyer here.
Board walks obviated all necessity for walk
Ing in the mud after the heavy rains, and all
along the electric railroad wherever change
OF cars was necessary tent and dry seats were
provided for waiting passengers.

Thieves Mith PeouIiar Fads.

There seems to be classes OF thieves who
have particular "fads" A man has just been
CONVICTED in the Police Court for stealing
carpenters tools 1t was only month or so
ago that he was released from the penitentiary
stealing similar articles. Other thieves max
a speciality of stealing clothes only, and so it
goes. But the meanest thieves are those who
make practice of removing flowers from the
graves In the cemeteries. AS rule this sort
of thieving is done by women, and it seems to
be the result or Veritable mania The su-
perintendents of all the cemeteries complain
of such robberies, but in only few instances
have they been able to detect the offenders
and bring them to justice. One such case
occurred during the week in the Police Court,
and the accused was let Off with nominal
fine.

A Pleasant Event at the Post once

The usual monotonous routine work of the
city post office was broken on Thursday in
very pleasant manner. A few weeks ago Mr..
Arthur Shyrock, Of the letter case, quietly
went off and married one of Washington's
bestknown public school teachers, and his
companions of the case got together and pur-
chased a magnificent clock to present to him
The clerks invaded his sanctum and Orator
Charles Wetzel in we'll chosen language told
Mr.. Shyrock of the esteem his fellow clerks
would be as regular as the clock they now
presented him with, and that it would never
fail to toll him out of bed at 5 In the morning.
Mr.. Shyrock in few pleasant words thanked
the boys for the gift, and then all took ice
sumed.

have been deeply interested in the contest
