 Owing to the many nlisdenleanors which have occurred in this section of late, men who never carried or used firearms have applied to Chief Wrinn for permission to have a revolver on their person, and in houses on the Heights the rife or shotgun has taken it's position, primed for action, above the entrance. Rumors of more holdups are passed about, but they prove to be only nightmares. The day after the Bronson outrage story was circulated that man had been held up on East Pearl street, but the runlor lacked foun- dation. Yesterday morning Ezra Healy, the Grand avenue druggist, found the plate glass broken in the chewing gum machine outside his store and the con- tents stolen. The same machine was opened with key on Sunday night and the money was taken. Though the store is fully half mile from the scene of the highway robbery, the people be-. lieve that the same crowd is responsi- ble for the work. The residents of the Eleventh and Twelfth wards are clam bring for more policemen, claiming that the number of cops in that section is not sufficient to cover the territory. The Grand avenue police are still work ing on the Bronson case and they are of the opinion that the crime was com mitted by persons who knew Bronson and his habits.
 The funeral of the late Joseph P. Robert, who was killed by being thrown from a fire wagon, will be held this morning from his late residence, 63 Clin-. ton avenue, and later from St, Louis church, corner of Chapel and Chestnut streets. A delegation from the fire de- partment, the commissioners and Chief Fancher will attend and the bearers will be from the members of the fire department.

 John F. Doran, of Brooklyn, N. r., | formerly a resident of Lombard street, has been renewing old acquaintances in | this section and is seriously considering making this city his home again. It will be remembered that MT. Doran is one of the two original letter carriers who more than twenty-five years ago was appointed carrier, when N b. Sperry was postmaster. Five carriers now serve the section which was cov- cred by MT. Doran in those days.

 The Athletics and the Franklins play ed very interesting double-header on l Monday afternoon on the Clinton ave- nue grounds, both being a shut-out in l favor of the Athletics.

 | Bathing is quite popular at Fort Hale these days, and it is stated that the 1 fifty-two bathing cabins which have been erected there by the city park de- 1 pertinent are not sufficient to meet the | demands of the crowds wishing to use them. As none of the houses is put aside for the use of women it is quite likely that new ones will be erected next season for their exclusive use.
