PatrOlman Powers Arrested for Breach
 of Pence.

Patrolman Thomas Powers was ar rested late yesterday afternoon on a charge of breach of peace brought against him, it is understood, by the members of his family. The fall from grace of this splendid officer is receiv- ed with great regret in police circles It has been stated on god authority that the trouble grew out of an alter cation between MT. Powers and ex- Alderman John J. Sprightly, over the settlement of the property of the late John Clancy. By the latter's win a sum of money was left t5 Mrs. Pow CTS, who was daughter of Mir. Clan cy. and an interest in the bottling shop was left to MT, Sprightly MT Powers thought that he should have had an interest in the bottling shop on Port sea street.
 The altercation between the two men occurred near the shop on Thursday night. Officers Cassidy and Molloy were sent to arrest him, but Powers was too mech for the officers and they went back without their man. Powers appeared before Chief Wrinn yester- day morning. 1t is said, in an intoxi- cated condition and handed over his badg and key. The chief refused to accept the resignation but placed him under suspension.
 Mr. Powers relatives have desired to keep the facts quiet under the
