DELIGHTED THE CROWD
PUNISHMENT OF A YOUTH WHO
THREW GLASS IN THE STREET.
He Was Inebriated and Failed to See
the Funny side of the
Incident.

There is scarcely bicycle rider who has
not at some time had occasion to breathe
imprecations against the vandals who wan
tonly throw broken glass and sharp pointed
tacks in roadways over which it was
known they were in the habit of riding. A
number of this class of wheelmen were
highly entertained yesterday by seeing one
of those idiotic people who enjoy hearing
bicycle tires explode Inundated and paid
out in his own coin. A young fellow, be-
decked with ribbons and badges, somewhat
under the influence of liquor, stood on the
corner of Pennsylvania street, near the
Indiana National Bank. He took a half
pint whisky flask from his pocket, looked
at it with a maudlin grim and, finding it
empty, sent it spinning out upon the as
phalt pavement, where it crashed into
thousand pieces. The act was witnessed by
clerk in a store on the opposite side of
the street. Standing for a moment the
clerk saw the fellow was watching to see
some bicycle rider get the benefit of the
broken glass. The clerk was himself a
rider and the act made him indignant He
hunted a police officer. who went to the
young fellow and led him to the center of
the street, where he compelled him to sweep
up the broken fragments with a broom the
store
What m t do with the glass?" slut
tered the young fellow.
TN soon show YOU" said the police
man., grabbing the fellows hat; put it in
this.
THE young man protested without
avail I've. great mind to run you lin,
said the policeman. Don't give me any of
your back talk. or I'll do it yet, no matter
if you are half loaded ("
With many a grimace the fellow swept
tn the 80 broken .,I glass up in little mound.
and then to take up a handful and dump it
into his own hat-a black Derby fresh from
the bandbox. the policeman was not con-
tent until the last bit of glass was picked
up and bestowed in the unusual receptacle.
The affair was witnessed by a hundred
men, who gathered at the curb on either
side of the street and gazed on the novel
glass-breaker out between the street-car
tracks. Every man. when he learned the
meaning of the performance, applauded
the policeman, who stood bent over hold
the reception of the rubbish.
.'What'll l do with it?' asked the young
fellow with scowl when his work was
completed.
II don't care what you do with it," said
the officer; take it down some alley or put
it in your pocket for all I care; but don't
throw 1t on the street again or I'll arrest
you yet
The young fellow Strengthened I'D. and,
bracing his legs. firmly started away. fol-
lowed by the derisive shouts of the large
crowd that had now gathered. Apparently
unconscious of the fact that the hat was
half full of broken glass and street debris,
the fellow bent over and suddenly slapped
the black Derby on his head. The crowd
expected to see him covered with a shower
of broken glass, bits of straw and dirt but
by some chance it all fell on the top of his
head and none ecsaped-at least not before
he was out of sight.

USED STRONG LANGUAGE.
Experience of n Visiting Member of
the l.. A. w.

On Thursday Hobart s. Bird, visiting
L. A. w. man from Madison, Wis, re-
ported to the police that he had been
robbed of 500 at Minnie Grayson's resort,
on South Capitol avenue. Detectives Slate
and Miller were sent to investigate and
arrested Marie Howard The money, how
ever, was not recovered, much to the dis
comfiture of the Wisconsin man. Yesterday
morning he again appeared at the station
house and made a strong complaint against
the men detailed on the case, because they
had not recovered the money. He was re-
ferred to the superintendent. from whom
however he apparently received no salts
faction. Strong language followed, and the
young man was arrested for profanity. He
was found guilty in Police Court yesterday
morning, but after administering good
lecture Judge Cox suspended judgment in
the case, and Bird was allowed to go.
