young lad, to the Second police station
last evening, and told quite bad story
about David. According to Hyman,
David was playing bali on Hewes street
yesterday afternGcn. and Hyman objected
to this, and took..a ball David was playing
with and destroyed it. This enraged
young David, SO he filed his pockets with
stones and went to Mr.. Cohen's home and
threatened to break all the glass in the

Early Sunday morning citizen brought
word to the police station that murder
was being committed in the classic local
fty known as Bark street. Officers Nc
Elroy and Coyle hurried to the street

the home of David Tossitt. There had
been no murder, however, only slightly
warm debate between two white and two
colored women who, finding the house
too limited for the capacity OF their lungs
had adjourned to the sidewalk. One OF
the women received black eye during
the discussion, and from man who stood
in the doorway OF the house q finely
polished logwood billy 20 inches long was
taken. The club had some leather on 1t,
and was presumably used In a vain en-
deavor.to preserve order while the women
were discussing the latest style OF bathing
dresses Some other citizen than the one
who reported the affair at the station also
told officers Irwin and Mccarthy of the
trouble and they hurried to the scene.
Last evening two young fellows who
were considerably under the influence OF
liquor sat down on some steps ON Chalk
stone avenue and began quizzing passers
by. Officers Edwards and Hall, who un-
derstand that game pretty well, had the
chaps brought to the second station,
where the two fellows had a chance to
try the trick on each other.
Jette Wishnitzer aged three years while
playing opposite 60 Gladstone avenue,
last night was knocked down by bicycle
driven by George Brown. The only in
juries received by the little one were sew
eral scratches on her right arm. Mr..
Brown did all no could to prevent the
accident.

big row On Charles street yesterday morn
ing, was find 10 and costs for revelling.
later in the day.
According to Peter Maquis of 367 North
Main street Turkish bath that he took
at a Gladstone avenue establishment
cost him a good deal more than the
market price, for he claims that while he
was enjoying his bath some one extracted
$40 bill from one OF the pockets of his
trousers. "
Little Bertha Finigan and her chum,
Bertha Campbell, each SIX years OF age,
took walk over to Olneyville yesterday
afternoon without informing their
parents, who live on Fillmore street, of
their intentions. The police of the Sixth
station returned the little ones to their
parents.
Another early morning incident yester-
day was the actions OF wild-eyed hat

on Mill street and owing to his failure TO
explain Ills objective point he was locked
up.
Charles Audlin and Oscar Landvall
were seen by one of the members of
John Il. Maher's family walking around
his home and trying to steal into a barn
adjoining the house on Smith street, late
Saturday night. A number of citizens
surrounded the barn and officer Blackman
was notified. He found the two men
had their shoes and stockings off when
he arrived and they made a bold but
futile dash for freedom. They were taken
to the Second police station and after
being held a short time as suspicious
persons were let go. They will probably
give barns in the North End wide
berth hereafter.
