MELANCHOLY CASE OF DRowNING-Ye Yesterday
evening, about twenty minutes after seven O'Clock
Mr.. Frank Chatard, estimable Young gentleman
of this city, son of DR.. Ferdinand Chatard North
Charles street, was accidentally drowned while
rowing in the harbor, in company with friend
Mr.. Thomas +. Roche. The boat in which the
young men were was at the time in the waves of
the steam-tug Tigress, and both Chatard and Roche
were so intent upon their sport as not to perceive
the approach of the erry-boat, Locust Point until
within fifty feet of her, and directly before her
bows. So soon the captain of the ferry-boat OBJ
served them, he rang the bell of the boat, and
stopped his engine, and Chatard who
was rowing, was enabled to pull the
skif clear out of the way of the ferry-boa and di-
rectly alongside of her. Chatard and Roche i'm
mediately stood up, as if intending to Jump upon
the ferry-boat, and though Cattain Dunnigan
begged them to sit down, they were entirely out
OF danger, they both sprang for her deck. Roche
aghting safely upon it, but Chatard less fortunate
striking his breast against the guards of the ferry
boat fell back into the water. bench was imme-
diately thrown overheard to him by the steersman
and also rope but either stunned by the blow, or
exhausted by his previous exertions in rowing,
Chatard was unable to make of either, and
sank to the bottom His body was recovered,
after having been in the water some
twenty minutes, by Samuel Berry, and ia
ken to the house of John Lutts, on Thames street,
near Broadway, where an Inquest was held by Cor
oner Sparklin, and a verdict of accidental drown
ing rendered. 1t was subsequently taken in
hTr hin Snoff
the house of the bereaved father. Mr.. Chatard
was about Y years of age, recent graduate of
Loyola College, and young man of fine promise
In his profession, and possessing many estimabe
qualities. 1t is stated that Mr. Chatard had on his
person, when drowned, valuable watch and chain,
but as neither found upon the body it is sup
posed that the corpse was ried while living exposed
upon the wharf.
ARREST OF WILLIAM CoULsoN, THE MURDERER OF
JOHN B. CHRoNIsTER.-Willam Coulson, the mur-
derer of John b. Chronister, was arrested last
evening, on Dolphin street, by Capt. Mitchell, of
the Middle district, Sergeant McComas, Lieutenant
Wright, and officers G.. W. Robinson and W. H.
Williams. Chronster was killed on the night of
the 26th of June, since which time the police have
been unremittng in their endeavors to find the
murderer reward of $500 was offered by the
the Mayor, and the same amount by the Lodge of
Odd Fellows to which Chronister belonged.
Last evening about clock, Capt. Mitchell re-
ceiyed information that Coulson was concealed in
the northwestern part of the city, the precise
house being indicated. Summoning the officers
above named, he proceeded to the house of a Mrs.
Taylor, No. 81 Dolphin street. Pennsylvania
avenue. Arriving at the house, the Captain posted
three officers at the back portion of the building
and, in company with Lieut.. Wright demanded ad-
mission, which was refused by Mrs. Taylor. Capt.
NJ. then informed her that if she did not open
the door, he would be compelled to break the
1t down. She then came down to the door
and opened it, and the officers at the same time
observed Couson rush out to the back part of the
building, where he was met by the officers posted
there, and captured without any ydificulty-m akinp
no resistance whatever. The news of the arrest
spread over that section of the city very soon and
IN a few moments the officers surrounded by
crowd numbering not less than three hundred, one
third of them being men who have figured in police
annals. The officers deemed it advisable to take
the prisoner directly to the Jail, and started with
him, by way of the Bolton Depot, avoiding as much
as possible the crowd. No attempt at rescue
was made until the officers reached the cor
ner of Eager and North streets, when Dan.
Hinton made a rush on the officers, swearing that
Coulson should not go to Jail. Capt. Mitchell
dered that Hinton should be also arrested and
veyed to the station, where Justice McAllister
committed him to Jail for interfering with the Off
GERS whilst in the discharge of their duty. Coulson
was then lodged in Jail, and commitment was is
sued by the Clerk OF the Criminal Court Coulson
is now under indictment by the Grand Jury for
the murder.
BEFORE THE MAYoR.-John Sullivan was arragn-
ed before the Mayor yesterday morning, charged
with rioting at the primary election in the Sixth
ward, on Tuesday evening, and resisting the Off
GERS In the discharge of their duty also with shoot
ing with intent to kill VIM. Thompson and Thos.
Rowe. The evidence of detective VIM. H. Stevens
went to show that Sullivan, who, it is alleged is
not resident of the ward offered to vote, and was
denied permission by the challengers, one of whom
was Dick Pryor, known to police annals. Sullivan
drew pistol and swore he would shoot the man
who denied his right to vote Stevens then rushed
on him, and struggle ensued. Officer Clifford
finding that Stevens needed assistance Immediate
y took part in the fracas but Sullivan proving too
much for both, he was compelled to use 20 billy"
on him. He struck Sullivan tremendous blow on
the forehead, which caused him to fall. As he fell
the pistol in his hand discharged, and the
load took effect in the legs of two young men,
named William Thompson and Thomas Rowe.
ball also passed through the coat sleeve of Ben
Jamin Rowe. Sullivan then carried to the
Central station and lockedup to await an examina-
tion. After hearing all the evidence Mayor Swami
committed Sullivan to Jail to answer the charge
at the September term of the Criminal Court.
RoBBERY.-On Wednesday last, the clerk of the
Butchers Association, the corner of Neighbor
and Mckim streets, had occasion to leave the count
ing-roOm for few minutes, and neglected to lock
the safe door, in which was deposited bag COO
tanning $500. At night, when the Treasurer Mr..
Peter Wilcox, came in to receive the money in or
der to make deposit the next day, to the dismay
of the clerk, when the safe was opened, the money
could not be found. 10 suspicion attached to any
one connected with the establishment at the time,
and the whole matter was involved in mystery.
On Saturday morning, three days after the rob
berry, when the came to work. one of the num-
Der, named John Logue, was found to be absent,
and on inquiry, it ascertained that be had left
his house early on Friday morning. and had not
been back afterwards. The most rigid search has
