A WAsHINGToNIAN IN TROUBLE
A man named J. r. Gladmore, of WASH
ington, came to this city yesterday and
O drank himself drunk. He boarded
a street car on King street, between
Pitt and st. Asaph, and persisted in
standing on the platform. The con
ductor, Mr.. Charles Jones, seeing his
condition, told him to enter the car, as
he was liable to fall off aud be hurt.
He refused to comply with the request,
and, according to the rules of the COM
pany, was put off at Columbus street.
He then attacked the conductor, but
the latter threw him down and left
him on the corner of the street. Glad
mon entered Messrs. Grilbortzer's store
and borrowed a whisk broom, but his
language became so offensive before
some ladies who were in the store that
he was told by the porter to desist. He
then attacked the porter, but was
finally gotten out OF the store. He
next proceeded to the Fayette street
depot and said he didn't intend leav-
lug the city until he had "done up" the
conductor of car No. 100. When it ar
rived he proceeded to carry out his
threat aud struck Mr.. Jones. Officer
Belts later arrested the Washingto-
MAN, and this morning Mayor Strauss,
after giving the prisoner to understand
he couldn't come to Alexandria and do
as he pleased, made him pay 500.
