POLICEMAN EBERT SCORED.
de Will Be Tried Before the Com
missioners Next Wednesday.
Charged with Brutality Beating
Young Martin Ryan.

Policeman Henry Ebert, Of the De-
iancey street station, received a lee
tire this morning that should leave a
lasting impression upon his memory
and tend to reform his brutal habits.
inspector McAvoy, acting for Inspec-
tor Williams, who IL away on a week q
leave OF absence. summoned Ebert to
aIrear and explain, II he could. his
reasons for assaulting and arresting
Martin Ryan, on his own doorstep last
Monday night.
1t was not the first time that Ebert
had been called upon to explain sim
liar conduct. He is possessed Of a tenn
per that has got him into a vast amount
Of trouble. He was advised tfIi.. morn
Ing to either exercise some restraint
over his temper or to prepare himself
for some other vocation.
The Commissioners say they are de-
termined to purge the Department of
drunkards and vicious characters, and
the inspectors are expected to render
all the assistance in their power to
further this object.
Hence 1t is that Ebert. a strapping big
fellow, entered the Inspectors office
cuser. sickly-looking youth of twenty
years, told his story In the presence OF
Ebert.
Ryan said that last Monday evening
he and two young friends were sitting
on the doorstep of his home at 800
Henry street, quietly discussing the
prospects of the Giants winning the
pennant. when Ebert came along.

ers," the officer commanded.
This is my home said Ryan, "and
these boys are my friends. We have q
right to remain here II we choose"

miserable puppy" replied the policeman.
as he dealt young Ryan q stinging
slap in the face, knocking him of the
steps. He then arrested Martin, and
took him to the station-house.
The next m Drning. In Essex Market
Court, Justice Simms discharged Ryar
and advised him to file charges with thu
Commissioners against Ebert.
Ebert told the Justice that Ryan hat
made game of him as he was passing
and he arrested him.
Justice Simms told Ebert very frankly
that he didn't believe him, and that HI
thought young Ryan told the plain. sim
pie truth.
Inspector McAvoy knew Ebert's repu
tation. He has no sympathy for sucf
characters and told him so in the course
of an unusually severe lecture, in which
he expressed the hope that the penalty
would be as severe as 1t could con
sistently be made.
Ebert will be tried by the Commission
ers next Wednesday.

have died with those threats. Her fears
were deep. but she had not told all.
George Winthrop himself. having made
his way secretly through the forest
from Lake Ontario. had given her his
own letter asking leave from the Squire
to visit his newly made cabin. From
the moment Of arrival her lover had
implored her to fly with him. But flial

Ruth to give hope that her
father would yield to the yet

procure; he could see II flying defiantly
all day long; at night he could hear its

old Loyalist loved TO hear his foemen

three miles away. Ruth hauled the nag
down a little. then ran It up to the mast
