NORTH END NEWS.
A Charles Street Reveler Had an
Ugly Revolver.

Mlchele EmOlllle was very urunk oh
the northern part of Charles street last
night. lie was so noisy that his shouting
would have probably proved very useful
had it been done in Abyssinnia last week.
1t was, however, wasted, or rather saved,
for quiet and Sunday respecting people,
and officer McGovern came along just as
Michee was having quite picnic. lie
grabbed hold OF the fellow who was ceie-
brating and the latter put one OF his
hands 10 his hlp pocket but the officer
did not appear to mind this and he swung
his prisoner around couple of times and
then got him to a signal box. Ohicer
McGovern then rang in call for the
patrol wagon and j soon arrived with
officer Kavanagh, and Michele was
soon bound for the station. On his way
TO the station the prisoner made an at
tempt to get something out OF his pocket
but officer Kavanagh promptly told him
to keep his hands by his sides or he
would club him.
When the Second police station was
reached Emolille was told to hold up his
hands SO he could be searched, but before
he did so he again tried TO get something
out of the back pocket of his trousers.
Lieutenant Murray suggested TO the fel-
low that he had better be very prompt in
getting his hands up. The order was
searched. Great was the surprise expert
enced by the lieutenant when he took
out OF one of M1chele's hip pockets an
American bull dog revolver of IS callbre,
every one of the five chambers of which
was loaded. Michele smiled one of those
faint sickly smiles that are more disagree
able than the ugliest of frowns. The re-
volver was laid aside and Michele was
locked up.
OF course when the man put his hands
toward his pocket in the patrol wagon he
may have meant to simply throw away
the revolver, or he may have meant to
have fired IL off, but the latter seems to be
the most probable proposition.

Officer McGoverp found horse attach
ed to light express wagon astray on
Smithfield avenue early last evening and
returned Ii to the owner j. II. Gray OF
Randall street.
woman who was slightly under the
influence OF liquor but who appeared to
be able to look out for herself was on
Randall square very early yesterday morn
ing looking for Barth street. An officer
who was on duty there directed her TO
that thoroughfare. Soon afterwards he
met another guardian of the peace, of
whom she asked the same question ana
when he told her the way she wanted to
know shorter route, and as he
could not readjust the earth for her
benefit, he told her was the best he could
do. When the woman reached the bridge
over the railroad on Gladstone avenue
she met still another officer and probably
got little excited at meeting so many
blue coats, for she struck the latter Off
Ger, who had given ourteous reply to
her question. 1t was officer Bates that she
used her little fists on and he caused her
10 delay her visit to Barth street by ia
king her TO the Second Police Station.
