DEPUTY SHERIFF CHUTE PAINTS.
Overcome by the Bad Air of the Court
Room.

When the jury in the Prawda case re-
tired yesterday afternoon they were in
charge of Deputy Sheriffs Chute and
Despeaux After Deputy Chute had
place them in the jury room and locked
the door, he was seen to turn pale and
then dropped in a faint. Deputy Sheriff
Samuel d. Plummer saw him fall and
sprang to his assistance, quickly followed
by Deputy Despeaux and others. Mr..
Chute complained of q sharp pain at the
pit of the stomach when he revived and
was very faint. Drs. King and Sullivan
were near at hand and under their care,
Mr.. Chute was able, after time, to be
removed to the Falmouth hotel where
Mr.. John K Martin did all possible for
his comfort. Mr.. Chute was placed in
room No. 1928, his wife and son were
quickly in attendance and Deputy
Sheriff Despeaux also remained with
him. He was quite comfortable at a
late hour last night and it was thought
he would be all right today. 1t was
thought the attack was caused by the
excessively bad air of the court room
during the trial, and the sudden changes
of temperature to WI ich he was sub
iected whenever the windows were
opened when recess of court was taken.

NOT WITHIN THE STATUTES.
So Commissioner Bradley Discharged
Mate Sibbers.

Mate Simon Sibbers of the schooner
William K. Park, was before U. S. Com
missioner Bradley yesterday, charged
with abusing and cruelty treating Leo
Rosch, a sailor. Rosch was in Philadel-
phia where the Park was loading coal for
this port. and did not have money
enough to get to this city. Capt. Lake
of the William K. Park gave the man
passage, in return for which Rosch was
to do the duties of a sailor. The second
day out of Philadelphia Rosch said he
was taken sick because he was not prop
erly clothed, and could not work. The
mate ordered him to 60 aloft and throw
the topsail tack over the spanker boom.
Rosch, it is said, went up on the spanker
boom and refused to do the work as
signed him. The mate advised him to
come down on deck and when he got
out of the rigging shook him and kicked
him. Later Rosch was put on lookout
and deserted his post. The mate went
down in the forecastle and tried to drag
the man on deck. Rosch claimed that
the mate abused him and choked him.
The three men who composed the crew,
each testified that the mate shook Rosch
and struck him.
Sibbers, the mate, admitted he shook
Rosch and struck him twice on the
shoulder, but it was for the purpose OF
enforcing discipline.
AS there was no beating or wounding,
according to the wording of the statute
to make this injury such as was without
justifable cause, the commissioner dis
charged Mate Sibbers.

CITY Hall Exposition.

Today closes the City Hall exposition,
and if the patronage extended equals
that Of each of the last few days Of the
past week it will be difficult to find room
to accommodate all who will be present.
Last night the hall was brilliant with its
decorations, its attendants in costume
and the visitors in CAV attire. The band
discoursed sweet music. Mrs. Lincoln's
lecture was much enjoyed, and about
every man, women and child carried
away large bag of samples. Today,
Mrs. Lincoln will read paper on House
keeping. During the two weeks OF the
exposition, the efforts of those in charge
to accommodate the patrons and keep
things running smoothly have been
painstaking and satisfactory to both Wis
irors and exhibitors.

THE VENERABLE cUNNERs.
Surprise Commissary Fobes With Fry
ing Pan.

There were great times at % Cushman
street last evening. Mr.. and Mrs.
Leander W. Fobes were quietly passing
the evening at their residence when the
door bell rang, and quietly and unob-
trusively host of aged and venerable
men passed within the portals to greet
their worthy commissary. We say aged
and venerable because they were all
Venerable Cunners and Propellers.
Of course Commissary Fobes was
equal to the occasion. He begged the
club to consider the house theirs. They
said they would, and they did. They
completely took possession of everything.
They had brought Caterer Robinson
with them and all ''the fixins'' and it
didn't take long to serve delicious
collation..
After the supper had been disposed of
Commissary Fobes who had been
handed the gilt very quietly, SO nobody
should know what was coming-called
ex-Commissary Colby forward and pre-
sented him in the name of the club a
beautiful gold frying pan, the society
emblem. Mr.. Fobess words were replete
with wisdom and showed how he appre-
ciated the ex-commissary's work. When
he got through Colby turned to Fobes
and took him all aback by presenting
him corresponding frying pan, also a
gift from the club.
Then followed music and merry-mak-
ing of every kind until late hour. The
affair was great success.
