consented. When the time for the wedding came around the groom was not on

discretion.

He Did Not Die
But Alleges that His Heirs Objected to Being Disappointed in Their
Expectations.
Some time in March, 1885, Conrad STUBING, who lived at No. 23 Cook street,
this city, was taken sick, and, believing himself nigh unto death, desired
to dispose of his property. For this purpose he called in a certain
Commissioner of Deeds and told him to draw up papers by which John STUBING,
his son, should become the owner of the house and lot on Cook street on the
death of the father, providing that he permitted his mother to make her home
there during her life. John was also to divide $1,000 between his two
sisters, to obtain which sum a mortgage was to be given upon the property.
The drawing up of the papers was bunglingly executed, but a deed was
executed conveying the house and lot to the son John, it being agreed that
this should remain in the possession of the father until his death. But that
event did not transpire, as had been anticipated , and Conrad STUBING is
to-day well and hearty. He was in the City Court yesterday as a complainant
against his son, who, he alleged, had unwarrantably obtained possession of
the deed above mentioned, and had also taken possession of the property. Mr.
STUBING also complained that his family had drawn from bank $700 which he
had entrusted to their care and deposited in another bank. He asked the
court that he be again put in possession of his property and funds. After a
careful hearing of the facts in the case, Chief Judge CLEMENT gave judgement
in favor of the plaintiff.

3 October 1889
The Grand Jury was then impaneled. Judge MOORE, in charging the
body, said he did not anticipate they would have much work because the
preceding Grand Jury had performed all the work to clear the cases, and
the fact that the people of this county were orderly and law-abiding
made it comparatively easy to administer justice and to keep up with the business.
The following are the Grand Jurors:

Josiah BARTLETT, foreman, broker, 110 Montague street
Wm. W. PAUL, drygoods, 860 Broadway, E.D.
Ernest W. BOHNRE, cigars, 257 First street
Gus S. WALLACE, iron, 451 Clinton avenue
Alozin? DREPENBORCK, importer, 180 Amity street
S.C. JACQUES, fancy goods, 221 Columbia street
Harry R. NOSTRAND, insurance, 163 Lefferts place
Wm. H. THORNE, hats, 213 Manhattan avenue
James McMAHON, grain, 83 McDonough street
Frank J. SMITH, broker, 45? Carroll street
Henry T. NICHOLS, corn mer., 228 Cumberland street
Charles S. RUSSELL, roofer, 191 Quincy street
Henry W. SHERRILL, real estate, 15? President street
Andrew E. WALKER, 97 Milton street
Henry A. RAMSFORD, umbrellas, 113 Hall street
William ULRICH, cutter, 275 South first street
Michael CALLAHAN, 85 Lawrence street
Henry BRANDELL, railings, 259 Jay street
Wm. B. ORR, broker, 60 Park place
Edw. SCHEFFIELD, beef, 487 Henry street
Horace M. CARLETON, agent, 33 Halsey street

   All the members of the petit jury wanted to be excused despite the
fact the Judge said he would excuse none. The Judge looked over the
crowd that gathered in front of him and said: I am here to administer
justice and I intend to do it. I am not going to block the wheels of
justice by excusing you. You can go take your seats. I am sick and tired
of this business.  Every morning this spectacle of respectable citizens
trying to escape doing their duty as jury duty is repeated.  I am
desirous of being accommodating, but I am sick and tired of being
imposed upon and I won’t stand it. You can take your seats.
The jury thus sat upon took their seats.
The following men were then arraigned:

Augustus HOFFMASTER, grand larceny.  He pleaded guilty. He said he came
from Cincinnati a year ago and went to work for Mrs. PETTIGROVE at Coney
Island.  He stole her watch and then went back to Cincinnati.
Unfortunately he returned to New York last month, was seen and arrested.
He was remanded for sentence.

Michael BOLOLO, an Italian, was charged with biting John LYNCH’s ear
off. He pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault in the second degree.

Rafanio PISIANI, another Italian, was charged with having practiced with
the wrong end of a pitchfork on John SHERIDAN, into whose body he shoved
the tines. He also pleaded not guilty.

Max GOLDBERGER and Chas. SCHWARTZ, charged with having kept a Coney
Island disorderly house, pleaded not guilty.  They will be tried next
week.

Michael PROUTTY and Joseph BANNON failed to appear to answer a charge of
robbery and their bonds were forfeited.

Michael FRISCH charged with manslaughter in the second degree, pleaded
not guilty and his case was adjourned indefinitely.  He is charged with
having thrown Patrick DOOLEY into the East River because he stole a keg
of beer.  DOOLEY was drowned.
