FINED FOR CONTEMPT.
Charles N. SinnOft Goes TO Jail
for Twenty Days.

G. N. Sinnott was arraigned this
morning before Judge Horrigan for
contempt. AS there was no indict-
ment, there was no jury. The COZ :
tempt consisted in attempting to in
duce Deputy Sheriffs John A. Powell
and Tom Garvey to summon certain
individuals as jurors in the Mundinger
case. Colonel CAN'T and Colonel julie
Taylor arose and disclosed any knowl-
edge Of such a proceeding on their
part, and Colonel CAN'T made a neat
little appeal on behalf Of the
defendant. Judge Horrigan re-
marked that he was sorry he
could not see it in that way. He also
said he thought the punishment fixed
by the Legislature was too small
for such an offense as the de-
fendant had been proven guilty Of,
and as it was he would punish him to
the full extent Of the law. Sinnott
was accordingly fined fifty dollars and
sentenced to ten days Imprisonment
IN each case. Immediately after the
trial he was conducted to the county
Jail by Deputy Sheriff, and must
remain there twenty days, whether he
pays his fine or not.

A bold mar, into whose composition

the domicile of Mrs. Annie Flynn
Thursday night, and tried to mop the

Annie who did the mopping, she was

Steel didn't commit himself, however,

A little one dollar fine was imposed
on Dan HOgue, Colored, yesterday, for
throwing the manure from his en-
ployer's stable into the alley. His
employer, Mr.. Il. G. Miller, took an
appeal 10 a higher court.
Old Slime has succeeded in getting
off the horns of his dilemma. He was
formally released by Judge Hadden yes
terday, and the question Of whether he
is entitled to his meals on account of
the city, and also on account of being
cook is finally settled. He is glad of
it, as he has tried his storage capacity
and found it wanting.
President MADDEN holds levee

STOLEN AWAY.
Death OF a Humble Old Man
His silent Life.

Nearly everybody remembersa little
old man who for years past has occu-
pied stool behind a little peanut
stand on the corner of Main and
North Court streets. For years be
had sat there from morning until
night, always at his post and always
silent. Occasionally he quietly
munched . peanut, and sometimes
passed his hand weerily across his
brow. He was little and old and
wrinkled, his face the color of parch-
ment, his eye lustreless, and his sunk
en- lips covered a toothless mouth.
His trade was humble, but he excelIed
in it. His wares were prepared by
his own hand, done up in little paper
bags and served to customers without
word. His only question was nickel
or dime" and be made change very
slowly, though never making a mis-
take. Lately he had been missed from
his post for hours together, and this
morning he was found dead. As
he had been silent in life, SO he was
silent in death. They found him
kneeling by his bed in the attitude Of
prayer, with his arms folded upon the
eOverlet and his old, tired face buried
in his arms. 1t is said this old man,
whose name was Pasquela Maggisti,
was once the gayest Of the gay aud re-
volved in whirlwind of intoxicating
delights, which finally enfeebled him.
He was struck with paralysis. He
was sixty-two years of age and
born in Genoa, Italy. He was entirely
alone. he had no relatives in this
country. In his vest pocket were
found fifty dollars in gold and five
dollars in silver. He will be decently
inferred, and if any money is left it
will be turned over to the Public
Administrator.

THOMAS TUMBLES
Into a Deceased DentisI's Clothes
then to JaiI.

A few days since trunk Of cloth
ing belonging to the colorsd dentist
DR.. Morgan, was broken open and
robbed of most Of its contents. Nor
gan's widows suspicious were first
aroused by the remarkable likeness
between high hat worn by O. H.
Thomas, colored lodger,to one which
formerly belonged to Morgan. A
glance at the trunk showed it to have
been robbed. A search warrant was
sworn out and given to Doc Jones, the
darby deputy, to execute. He found
the stolen goods in Thomas trunk
and found Thomas in his room.
Thomas expressed decided dislike
to prison life, and begged to be
allowed to go to the picnic Doc saw
no objection, and allowed him to 60.
Thomas was afterward arrested by
Patrolman Stevenson, and the case
came up for trial to-day. The deceased
mans mother was the most energetic
witness. She said; Dat niger
(Thomas) stole my sons cloze. Doc
Jones found 'em in his trunk, but let

unlimbered himself and shot his long
form upward into space. He declared
Thomas to be thief. He had once
lived next door to him, and all his
wood was stolen; caught Thomas in
the act; also caught him by the neck
of the brooches and threw him over
the fence. Thomas also fed his
chickens corn tied to strings. The
chickens swallowed the corn, and
Thomas swallowed the chickens. He
was bad egg, and was sent to Jail.
