He was in the saloon drinking with some other men, among whom was P. Butler, wien a row started. Gibeney started to leave the place when Butler struck him, knocking him down. As he fell his head struck against thc curbstone, fracturing the skull. The in- ured man was taken to his home and as | }t was apparent that he was severely in- jured he was removed to the City and | County Hospital. Yesterday his condition became alarming and the police were ut once notified. After considerable trouble Policeman Clancy, who was detailed by Captain Spillane to arrest Butler, found him on Howard street and took him into custody. He was immediately taken > the City Prison, where he was locked up in the tanks pending the result of his \'h:nn]': injuries. To the ‘police Butler denied having struck Glbney. He, however, admitt. that he “shoved him in a playful wa but denfed having seen him fall, Tt statement 1s ridiculed by two eye witness- to the trouble. They were standing in e vicinity of the saloon, they claim, when Gibney walked outside and stood near the edge of the sidewalk. Butler at this juncture walked out of the saloon | and going up to the old man struck him. The force of the blow knocked Gibney down, and as he fell his head struck the curbstone. The two witnesses went to Gibney's as- sistance and endeavored to get him on his feet. Butler stood by and seeing the blood gushing from the wound in Gibney's ?é:;l left the scene, evidently fearing ar- Yesterday the two witnesses visited the City Prison and positively identified But- ler as the man who struck Gibney.

P S Nearly Every Stitch of Canvas Blown Away and the Vessel Drifted Helplessly Toward the Pole. e The ship Lauriston, Captain Latta, which arrived from Hamburg via South Shields last Saturday night, had a most eventful voyage. Rounding the Horn nearly every safl was blown away and through the ship's being driven south the men suffered terribly. At one time there were only four men and an apprentice able to leave their bunks and work the ship. All the others were either frostbitten or prostrated by the cold. At one time it looked as if the ship would be driven into the ice pack, but luckily a change came and finally the Horn was rounded in splendid style. The ship’s log tells In a quaint but thrilling manner the story of her passage | through the frozen zone. The extract | from this seaman's narrative, telling of | the worst part of the experience, is as | follows: On July 7—Mr. Cameron In charge of the deck.
