The regular mounted police force aid not do duty last evening on the Conduit road, according to the usual custom. Instead the ren were placed at Campbell's Park,whore @ colored picnic was in progress, and the police bicycle squad wes given full charge of the Conduit road. There were many thousand cyclists out last evening at Glen Echo and Cabin John bridge, and a nuin- ber of scorchers, but no arrests were made by the squad. The bicycle police took up the trail of several scorchers, but the pace Was too hot for them, and they were forced to give up the chase. The complaint regarding the darkness of the stone steps leading from Prospect ave- nue to M street, on 3th street, which are dangerous to life and !imb after dark, re- sulted in the issuance of an o sone time ago by the Commissioners td have electric lights placed there to illuminate the way. Strange to say, the lights have never been put in place, and the steps are as dark.and dangerous to use as ever, while the people in the neighborhood are wonder- ing over the delay. “Youa noa lova de museec,” said Gregory Antonia, an Italfan organ grinder, to Po- liceman Henry Steinbraker, w Placed him under arrest this morning. egvry Was on 32d street grinding a hand organ, wher. policeman wanted to see his permit. Italian did not happen to have the useful article, and he was taken to the station heuse, and locked up on a charge of being an unlicensed organ grinder.

Bradley, accot by Miss Grace Hess, will leave the city to- morrow for a stay of several weeks at Nor- folk and Virginia Beach. Mr. George W. King, who has been on an extensive trip west, has returned to the city, much improved in health. Reports of two pistol shots, fired one di- rectly after the other, caused some alarm to persons living on I street northeast be- tween Nerth Capitol and Ist streets, about 12:30 o'clock this morning. ‘The reports were heard by Policeman Stevenson of the sixth precinct station, who made on in- vestigation which did not result in any ar- rests. It was reported that a man who lives at No. 26, on the street mentioned, had feared an attack of highwaymen end had fired the shots to frighten off the men whom he thought were going to ossault him. This morning the citizen called at police headquarters and saw Bieuts. Kelly and Heffner, to whom he explained the story of his experience. He was walking south on North Capitol street between K and L streets, he said, and when Pierce street he noticed two women } ing Pierce street and turning up Nor Capitol. Two men also came along about that time, and he heard them say some- thing to the women. Net knowing just what might bappen he watched the men closely, and finally they took it upon themselves to say something to him. Paying no attention to what they said to him, he resumed his journey home- ward and the men followed. When near his home they halted, and fearing there would be trouble he went in the house and got his revolver. When he returned to the front ot the house the strange white men were still watching and waiting, and in order to frighten them off and prevent pos- sible trouble he discharged two shots. This had the desired effect, for the men hurried away, going west toward North Capitol street. The citizen who made the report told the Police leutenants that he was not certain whether the men were highwaymen or whether their conduct was simply an act of rowdyism. It is the belief of the police that the men were under the influence of liquor and followed the man simply because they believed he had been watching them. Descriptions of the men were given to the police and the affair is being thorough- ly investigated. MARRIED. BISSELLE—WASTFLL. at Baltimore, August 17, 1897, Chareh, Mi the Re ir. Brunder, SARAH M.
