RIVER THIEVES CAUGHT,
They Were PIundering Cotton Lighter
at Pier 81.

They Were PIundering Cotton Lighter
at Pier 81.
NEW YORK, April Is, 1S93-Captain
McCullagh of the Eighth precinct, and
his detectives made an important cap
ture last night of river thieves. whom
they caught in the act of plundering a
cotton lighter on the North River.
The capture of the four thieves is one
of the most important arrests made on
the river for years. For the last two
years the cotton lighters of
the Manhattan Lighterage Company
have been systema atically plundered. The
work was done by men of experience.
Their plan was to force open the pressed
bales OF cotton, remove couple OF
layers of cotton, and then tighten
the bands around the balls
again. The work was done so
sEilltully that it would not be discovered
that the bales had been tampered with
until the cotton reached its destipa alton
when the bales were found short en-
weight.
Superintendent Joyce Of the Lghterage
Company reported this to Captain Nc
Cullagh some time ago. He said that in
the last two years $4,000 worth OF
cotton had been stolen each year. The
thieves took the cotton away in bags
with a boat. Captain McCullagh has
been working on the case ever since.
His efforts were rewafded last night when
three men were caught in the act
of stealing cotton from the cotton lighter
Captain Lange, lying az Pier 81. North
River Another man was captured
in a boat which he had rowed TO
the side OF the lighter prepare
tory to receiving the cotton stolen by the
others. The thieves gave their names as
Thomas McNalty, Michael O'Brien, Peter
Nelson and Charles 1'uigo.

The Wife Murderers Mother Still En-
oourages Him.
SING SING, New York April Is, 1903
Carlyle w. Harris received long
letter from his mother this
morning in which she related
the details of her interview with Gov.
Flower at Albany on Thursday. Mrs.
Harris wrote that the Governor listened
attentively to her appeal. ond that she
had strong hopes the death sentence
would be commuted. she asked her son
to be patient, and keep up his courage
until the Governor announced his de-
cislon, which she expected he would do
within week.
Should the Governors decision be
against Harris 1T is thought that his
lawyers will make an effort TO induce
the Governor to postpone the date of
execution for thirty days in order to
allow the condemned medical student
time TO prepare for death. Up to the
present time Harris has not apparently
mace any preparations to go to the cleo
trio chair.

number of women, who with
encouraged the men to give battle to the
police. Spurred on by these women, the
strikers fought desperately when the gen.
darmes attempted to drive them from the
streets.
Clubs and stones were freely used and
there was a prospect OF 1.-THE mob getting
the upperhand of the gendarmes when
to draw their swords and charge
the crowd. The order was at once
obeyed, and slashlng right and left the
gendarmes moved through the mob,
which broke and scattered in every dtrec-
rion, hurting stones and other handy mis-
siles before they ran.
After the rioters were dispersed it was
found that one of the women had been
hit with sword and killed. and that
three men had been SO badly
wounded that they could not get
away from where they had fallen.
The wounded were removed to a hospi-
tai, and tne body of the woman was
taken to the moraue The affair has
caused great excitement, and further
trouble is apprehended.
