COYNE's CONDUCT.

Chas. Coyne is plasterer who lives,
with his family, at the corner of 18TH
street and 9TH avenue. Yesterday he re-
turned to his domicile in an intoxicated
condition, and succeeded in making things
very lively and interesting for all parties
concerned. 1t appeared that his mother
in-law, Mrs. Johnson, was the special OBJ
ject of his wrath, and he very unceremoni-
ously proceeded to push that individual
out of the house. At the time of her exit
she had in her arms sick child, and was
thus prevented from averting fall. The
family-row soon attracted the attention of
neighbors, one of whom notified the police.
Coyne was arrested and had his trial this
morning before Justice Halves. The testi-
mony was submitted, and from the evil
dence the court fined Coyne So and costs
In default of payment Coyne will be taken
to Jail

an examination of the apparatus used.
This investigation showed that the nozzle
had become stopped up with good sized
fish and the water failed to reach the open

was dead
1t is not probably to suppose that the
inhabitant of the waters felt his appoach-
ing DOOM and made his way through the
water mains to the drug store where he ex-
pected to receive the proper remedies for
his Affections. Death overlook him how
ever. before reaching his destination and
his dead body was found in the pipe as
above noted.
The piscatorial visitor is now on exhibi-
ton at the drug store.
