THE ATTACK ON TIM CAR.

Within q few months a new gang Of thieves
has sprung up on the west side Of town. They
range from IL to 25 years of age, and are both
colored and white. In the day time they loiter
along the river front. At night they gather in
groups and parade the side streets and the lower
parts of Eighth and Ninth avenues. Often there
are twenty Of them in a party, but this happens
only on extraordinary occasions when a regular
campaign Of thievery is TO be executed.
Apparently such a campaign was planned for
Thursday night. Word must have been sent out
to follow the parade OF the Union Bottling As
ISOLATION, for the highwaymen were out IN strong
force. They punched together wherever they
found a group OF unsuspecting men, and by
pushing and jostling they bore down upon them
and tried TO loot their pockets. When the parade
passed the gang divided into sections and held
up pedestrians on the way. Among them was
George r. Leghorn, manager for a dry goods
house. He was walking with his wife to his
home. At Eighth avenue and Twenty-third
street he was separated from his wife and pushed
against the brick wall OF a saloon. A man
snatched his watch and ran. Leghorn followed
and caught him. Before he could get back his
watch or summon help other members Of the
gang held him back and then scattered in differ

Nail himl" yelled the flying man to the
crowd.
A young negro jumped after Rathgiber and
aimed a blow for his face. He missed. and when
he saw the policeman ran along the car tracks
on the east side OF the square toward Eighth
avenue. The two men followed him into Ninth
avenue, and gradually closed in on him until
the policeman was able 10 grasp his arm. The
man fell to the pavement. The white man who
stole the watch got away. When Forester had
returned to the square with his. prisoner other
policemen had arrived and the thieves had scat
tered. Cooney and Glblin returned 10 the car
and finished the trip. Neither reported the af-
fair to the street car company's office ut Eighth
avenue and Forty-ninth street until last evening.
The names Of the passengers could not be
learned. Miss Maroney, who teens to have had
the coolest head, said yesterday that she was SO
frightened that for a few minutes she was blind.
She could not tell whether the man who
snatched her pocketbook was white OF black,
but she thought he was black. She could not
identify the young negro who was arrested az

cart. ROLLINS'S RING.
The Remarkable Story OF It's Recovery
from the bottom OF the sea.

Capt. Eph Rollins OF Perth Amboy has a Pc
cullar emerald ring which he says he would not
part with for any consideration. The ring does
not possess any great intrinsic value. but to him
IL has a charm which makes its precious. Capt.
Eph has been sailing upon coasters for half "A
century In various capacities. He was one Of
the crew OF the EnChantress when she sank of
Hatteras some years ago, leaving her deck afioat.
From this raft the survivors were rescued after
days OF hardship. Capt. Rollins now commands
the Georyetta Lawrence, which is moOred at
Perth AnbOy
Several years ago he was cruising southwark
along the coast on the schooner Jonas Smith
and was taking soundings with a plummel
charged with tAllow. He wore the ring at the
time. and. In heaving the lead. the ring was
stripped from his wet finger and fell into the
sea. Can't. Eph missed IL instantly and mouTned
its loss deeply. for he had no hope Of ever seeing
IL again. II was lost on the hard sand bottom OF
the trackless ocean in seven fathOms Of water.
Nearly a year later he was heaying the same
headline and plummet in the same waters.
Each time the lead was hauled aboard the tai
low tillinc was examined IN note the character
OF the bottom, Supdenly Capt. Eph gave a
shout OF joyful surprise. Embedded In the
tallow in the recess OF the plummet was his
ring.
Capt. Rollins shows the ring. the heavinR
line, and the lead with pardOnRble pride, and
his only regret is that he cannot show the hole
In the water which the plummet made. No
body who knows him attempts to throw dis
credit upon the remarkable story.

reached for it. She gave a piercing shrek
that started the policemen from their beats, and

The celebration on the 4th of July
at the Lake was one of the most
pleasant of summer days. Although
there was tremendous crowd of
people, all was quiet and orderly as
usual. The old Komodore was on
deck and everywhere present, looking
after the welfare of all parties. Of
the music by the Weston Cornet Band
nothing need be said, but of the mem
bers | want to say l never met a
more orderly, gentlemanly lot of men
in any organization in my life. Every
man was gentleman and on duty at
once when called, there was no delays !;
they are all men of good habits, and
attend strictly to their profession
The drum major knew his business
and did it to the letter. They fully
deserve the public patronage and will
give perfect satisfaction. The orches-
ira also was the best ever heard out
side the city and was so remarked by
all present. AS for the dinner every-
1
body knows, for everybody was there
and the general satisfaction expressed
speaks the feeling and praise much
better than | can. | truly think the
komoiore out did himself this time.
| always get q good dinner at the Lake
but this time everything was so good
and served in such quiet way and
yet SO quick. | cannot express my
feelings on paper. The supper, also
like the dinner, was the topic of con-
versation for long time and the sat
isfaction expressed by the crowd who
eat at the tables tells the story. The
fire works in the evening, although
not SO many, were very fine and the
big 30 foot balloon made successful
ascension, and on the whole we had a
good show. The dance was some
what crowded, one hundred and fifty
five couples was rather too many for
the hall and yet all seemed to enjoy
the dance and expressed wish to
have it repeated in the near future.
The day was most beautiful, all that
any one could wish and the manage
ment was full as good. The help
about the place both in doors and out
; was credit to the house. Such civ
ility and good nature is seldom met
with at any time or place. The
grounds and surroundings were in
perfect order and / can safely say
