Water Front.
fhs Gas Company Takes Alarm and Puts q
Strong Guard About It's Premises.
Train Robbers


CLAW and jefferson streets, Tuesday night,
is now in jail. With him is one Of his
associates, T. J. Harrison. Both are charged
with misdemeanor and exhibiting deadly
weapons.
Their Incarceration grew out OF a little
farce enacted by them on the water front
yesterday afternoon.
With all the display of guns in the water
front war; the first one was discharged on
Carriers jump This was done accident
ally, and it nearly frightened Cartier TO
death. Several persons connected with the
dispute actually turned and ran. The gun
was in Cartier's hands, and the ball went
through the trousers Of one of his own men,
grazing the skin just above his ankle.
EXHIBITING DEADLY WEAPONS.
P. II. LameTaux and others had gone TO
the place and informed Cartier that they
wanted to remove some OF Remlllard' 5
bricks. They started to open the gate 10
take a team in hen Cartier and his men
ian for their guns. AS Cartier came Out IN
great excitement his weapon went en-.
The RemillaTd men LETT ana me "HIIan's
OF arrest were sworn OUT.
It Is claimed that Cartier and MS asSO-
eiates have jumped tile properly without
authority from any one ana witLout any
shadow Of a tiilP intending only 10 JAKE au-
Native wRv, Last night few rough Tel
lows we're on guard, but they were very
doleful without their leader.
ANOTHER SCENE.
But there was another and a buster scene
on the water front last night. Fifteen men
stood guard on trestle erected during the
dav behind the electric light and gas works.
Within the works were eight uniformed
officers. Very few knew Of this, so quietly
were the men gathered there, their object
being not 10 attract attention.
The gas company was expecting trouble.
They did not know exactly from whom, IN
the unsettled state Of affairs, but somebody
had spread the TumOr that boats were TO
come uD in the night, and that the piles and
coping back of the works were to be blown
M Dynamite at such 9 place would de-
strOy the gas main and put the city IN dark
ness and therefore unusual vigilance was
taken. TIE time set for the affair was said
10 be at low tide, between and o'clock IN
the morning.
Bob Craig last night said that bis men
had DO intention Of using dynamite, ana
that Il apv one attacked the gas works prep
erty it would be some irresponsible fellow.
He further said that man named Charles
Orr, who had been with Cartier, started the
rumOr.
Another remarkable fact yesterday was
the removal Of the Water Front Company
pile-dTiYeT from the vicinity OF FoTtin'S land
Ing. Il is believed by FOrtn's men TO have
gone around to West Berkeley TO take pos
session Of land there.
Captain Fletcher, who was In charge Of
the police at the gas works, sent some OF
his men away toward midnight, saving that
Il any attack was TO be made it would have
come al high tide The fear OF the gas CON-
panV was chiefly from the ShOal " alter Bay
Oyster Company. Charles Orr, according
70 Craig. went 10 the gas company and In
formed them that the other company were
% "a dPstFnV fFR niles
Craig says that Orr is after money. lie
has carried tales 10 different parties, and
Craig ordered him to keep away from For
tins Landing. he ought 10 be thrown
overheard" said Craig. He is the cause
Of those men being down There without any
reason whatever"
THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
Deputy Sheriff Foster, who believed him
self TO be on The trail of tie train robbers
near LiveTmOTe, has followed his clew TO
Tulsre County, but nothing further mas
been heard from him. The only new 'evl-
dence" the Chief Of Police has is a letter
dated at Los Angeles and purporting TO
come from the robbers Ia it they tell the
chief that there is one man In Oakland who
knows all about II. but that they have got
him too scared to say any thing.
Officer Filley has another Clew OF his own.
He says that on the day before the robbery
be began 70 watch a suspicious character,
warning having been given that he was a
crook. The suspect went into Seventh
street gunstOTe and came out, Joining an-
other man.. aud the TWO walked away
Their appearance tailed with that OF the
robbers but neither has since been seen. In
the store the suspect displayed heavy pis
tOl and bought some cartridges.
THE HUMANE SOCIETY.
No time has yet been set for further in
vestigatiOn Of the condition Of the Humane
Society Secretary IheObald not yet having
gfa
ex-deputy, charged with embeZZement, has
grown tired and will have his side Of the
case settled in the Police Court As he has
not been arrested he viii surrender HIM
self by advice Of his counsel. II is deter
mined 10 force tie matter to an Issue.
John L. PeTTins concluded not to pay his
wife $50 due as alimony but TO go East in
stead. He was ordered to appear IN Judge
Henshaw's court yesterday, and when he
failed 10 come bench warrant for his ar
rest was issued. It was then learned thai

Paul Boman, principal OF the West End
School in Alameda, has sued the Tribune
Publishing Company for $4,000 libel. The
suit grows out OF articles printed accusing
Bowman Of numerically beating Ebert
BIRD, az eight-year-old boy.
THE NEW RAILROAD.
The railroad survey has reached high
street, east Of Oakland The engineers en-
gagged In the task have refused TO throw any
light on It, though it is generally believed TO
be the survey Of the San Francisco and Salt
Lake Company, the same company that has
fled condemnation suits for a right of way
through the MOrsgo Valley grant. From
indications the line is to extend all along
the Oakland harbor. The engineers are
strangers unknown to any Of the local sur
veyors and they entirely ignore Oakland
people when questions are asked, except to
reply In Eastern puns.
