RIVER THIEVES In LIMBO.
Captain Fsrrier Captures. the Rinsleader
of a Fad Gang.

of a BAD Gang.
Three members of the notorious Jersey
avenue bridge gang recently formed a
little plundering club known as THE
River Pirates"
For the past two weeks daring rob-
berries have been committed. Tugboats
tied up at wharves have been robbed of
hundreds of dollars worth of rope and
hausers; sailing vessels at anchor in the
lamps, ropes, halyards and other rigging.
Complaint after complaint was made to
Captain Farrier. and he finally detailed
Sergeant Quinn and Policeman Dough
erty to patrol the shore front and watch
for the plunderers. A clue to the thieves
was received, and last night James Nc
Donough, of No. 1926 Grand street,
Steven Knapp and Cunningham Ward, of
No. 66 Canal street, were arrested at their
homes. At McDonough's home nearly a
wagon load Of stolen rope was recovered,
| and at Wards a number of sailing vessel
signal lamps. At a junk shop OF Canal
street. kept by a man named Burns, a
large quantity of rope, which had been
sold to him by the prisoners, was recov>
| cred.
The prisoners acknowledged their guilt
to Captain Farrier. They have been
p~lundering sailing vessels at night by
boarding them when all hands on board
were asleep.
The capture is an excellent one. as it
also discloses a clue to many robberies
A quantity OF stolen property was
found in the possession of the prisoners
which fastens upon them a robbery com.
mitted recently.
They are held for examination tomorrow
morning before Justice O'Donnell.

REPUBLICANS NEW GERRYMANDER.
The Republicans. having IN a measure
recovered from the snock which tue de-
cision of Judge Depue gave them last
week. have ceased kicking themselves
and are looking about to see Is there Is
any way in which they eau get out of
the hole into which their hypocritical
protestations of high morality havs
brought them. When they found that
they had carried the State last Wedues-
day week, they saw in their minds eye a
long lease of power ahead Of them. The
frat thing they wouid do would be to
gerrymaudsr the State in u way W ic h
would insure tnem the Legislature or
many years to come. just AS they did in
1872, when they erected the Hudson
Horse Shoe, which was SO severely con-
demned by Justice Depue in his decision.
That did not trouble the Republicans,
however. They are only .virtuous when
they are someone else's sins. They are
not sensitive either. Anyone can cou-
denim them so long as they retain the
loaves and fishes. They think thsy have
a scheme now whereby they can Yet Sc
cure the Legislature. Assembly districts
may be abolished, but counties remain.
and county lines are just as suscep ible
to oh lnRe as district lines. The Repub-
licans, therefore, propose to ~Gerrymander
the counties just the salne as they would
have done the Assembly districts. One
of their changes which will interest
Hudson people Is the annexing of Har-
rison and Kearny TO Essex.

CALIFORNIA WINES.
Viticulturai Offices TO Be Established
at Chicago and New York.

All day yesterday the managers Of the
State Board Of ViIiculturc were engaged
In removing their Office fixtures, stock of
wines. exhibits and reports from their old
quarters at 81 Pine street to the new
rooms on the corner OF Bush and SanSome
streets over the First National Bank.
Everything is as yet in confusion. but in
three or four days the offices will be ready
for the reception o! visitors. The recep-
tion-room will be handsomely fitted up
and will be wen stacked with every class
of wines and reading matter bearing on
the wine interests. The secretary's office
will have the largest and most compler e
library on the subject OF wine culture in
the State. The other rooms will be used
for storerooms, the restaurant feature be-
ing abolished.
"The board has been so successful In
placing California vines" said Chief Ex-
ecutiye Officer Wetmore Yesterday. that
il has decided to do away with the restau-
rant. and our new office will be conducted
on broader plans. From now On it is the
intention Of the board to do ali in its
power to introduce our wines in the East.
'Durng my visit 10 the principal East
ern cities l found that the wine-producers
of this State are not given half 4 chance.
Our best wines are given French brands.
while wines that are hardly fit to drink are
placed on the market as California wines.
OF course this is very injurious 10 the
California Tlne-grOwer, and we propose 10
right The wrong il possible.
THE only way to accomplish this end is
to establish offices in Chicago and New
7 Ork City and introduce California wine,
just as we have done in San Francisco"
