WATER FRONT THIEVES,
The Gang Rounded Up Near
the Mail Dock, but Only
Two Were Caught.
One Man Got Away From Three
PoliCeme en- and Bullets
Went Flying.

Guardians of the peace badly desecrated
the peace on Tuesday afternoon in the
vicinity of the Mail Dock, and for short
time the air was punctured by flying
bullets which w histled over housetops and
buried themselves in the Businesses of Rim
con Hill.
A gang of young waterfront thieves
were at work on Captain Bingham's light
ers in China basin, and three of them were
rounded up by Captain Frank Anderson
and handed over to the police, while the
Mail Dock detectives went in quest OF
three m ore. Three officers were in charge
of Anderson's captives, but Joe Adams,
the most desperate of the gang, who is
wanted for burglary, got away.
Thomas Gardiner, clerk In the employ
OF Bingham, learned that Adams was on
one of the barges, and he forthwith. ran
around to the basin and called upon the
thief to give himself up. Adams jumped
up on the dock, at which Gardiner grasped
him glngerly by the sleeve with his thumb
and forefinger and told him that he was
arrested.
''Then," said Mr.. Galdiaer, ~ blew my
whistle to Officer Bob Cockrill, who was
sitting down some distance away. Bob
never moveds and the fellow walked along
with me a short distance, when he gave
Suuueu jerk ana SneH ne was SOHe.
called him back to give him four-bits for
his good work, but he would not come"
Captain Anderson knew the haunts OF
the thieves, and as soon as he heard OF the
case he went after Adams. He found him
in company with Bill Tully and Bob Crit
fiths, and covering the three with his gun
he marched them to Second and Townsend
streets, where stood Corporal Cockrill, OF
ficer Joe Mcguire and another policeman.
At this time boat with three more of the
gang ran up on the beach in China Basin
and Anderson went after the men. The
young thieves darted up the bank and went
down Brannan street pellmell and turned
into first. Anderson fired three shots into
the air and at the same moment two shots
rang out from behind. Adams had slipped
his handouts and was off like deer, Officer
Mcguire firing two shots after him. The
three men of whom Anderson was in pur-
suit ran up Rincon Hill and got away.
But The official grip was frightened on Tully
and Griffith and they were taken to the
Southern station.

FILE A DEMURRER.
Grounds on Which Defendants Pray for
Dismissal,

DISMISSAL
In the case of G. A. Spreckels VS.. Oceanic
Steamship Company, ]. D. Spreckels,
Charles Goodall, A. L. Tubbs, A. c. Tubbs,
Claus Spreckels, c. NJ. Goodall and A. B.
Spreckels, demurrer was filed yesterday
by Delmas & Shortridge, attorneys for the
defendants. The defendants demur to the
alternative writ of mandate upon the
usual. grounds of insufficiency to consti-
tute ground of action, ambiguity and
uncertainty.
The particular grounds of uncertainty
alleged are:
That it cannot be ascertained from the aft
davit whether or not the regular annual meet
ing of the defendant Oceanic Steamship Com
pany was called or held upon the 2lst of Janu-
than the Oceanic Steamship Company or any
of them have been regularly elected as the
directors of the said corporation for the ensu-
ing year, beginning on the 21st OF January,
1895; whether plaintiff is or ever has been
stockholder of said corporation, having stock
in his own name on the stock-books thereof,
and particularly whether he was stakeholder
on or within ten days prior to the 2Ist of Janu-
airy, 1895, as would have entitled him to vote
at any election of said corporation, or to have
or obtain any representation on the board of
directors or any voice in the management of
said corporation in case q meeting of stock
holders had been held on January 81, 1895,
or at any time thereafter, or should be called
or held in obedience to any writ of mandate
issued by this court, or as to entitle him to de-
mand that such meeting should be held, or to
ask for writ OF mandate herein.
On these grounds dismissal is prayed

ing any attentions whatever from hel
former male acquaintance, and the result
necessarily was friction, which finally led
to an open rupture of their relations.
Several months ago Rogers met his wife
in the company of a mutual friend, who
operates a blacksmith shop on Valencia
street. Rogers became very angry, and he
made threats to kill the man who, he is
convinced, has alienated the affections OF
his wife. Mrs. Rogers, in order to quiet
her hot-headed husband, promised to ac-
quiesce 10 his demand not to talk with this
family friend again, and for time the
course of love ran smoothly along.
The climax came two weeks ago, how
ever, and by curious coincidence Mrs.
Rogers and the blacksmith disappeared
simultaneously. The blacksmith has,
however, returned since and is doing duty
at his forge. He claims that he is I'M
aware of Mrs. Rogers whereabouts, and
says he has not seen her for many weeks.
Mr.. Rogers is, nevertheless, convinced
that the blacksmith knows the secret OF
his wife's hiding-place, and declares that
he will bring suit for the alienation OF her
affections.
Officer McMurray, who is working on
the case located Mrs. Rogers at 515 Bush
street, where she lived several days ago.
She has left there and is now living some
where near the corner of Scott and Geary
streets. Rogers will return to the city
shortly, he declaring that he will not rest
until he has brought the destroyer OF his
domestic happiness to justice.

Since that time she has been confined to the bed, and at times suffering severe pair and discomfort, yet she was a most patient sufferer, no word of complaint ol murmering eyer being heard from hel lips.

RALLY OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS AT RoxaURY
 FALLS.

The gathering of Sunday schools and Sunday school workers at Roxbury Falls, Tuesday, July 30, embraced several hun dred representatives, old and young, of the Sunday schools of that region, ,inclnd- ing portions of New Haven, Fairfield and Litchfield counties.

Sherman Coggswell of New Preston had charge of the singing, which he conduct- ed in his usual spirited manner. He was assisted by the Baptist church choir of Bantam, who always sing sweetly and impressively. State Secretary W. H.. Hall was called upon to speak briefly of the missionary Sunday school work of the State association and gave some ac- count of the needs and prospects of the destitute neighborhoods. Rev R. A. Nichols of Waterbury made very inter- esting and forcible address on temper ance work, but before he had time to fin- ish what he had to say heavy shower came up and forced the audience to seek shelter in their carriages, under the trees, in the empty cars on the side track and in near by buildings. Although the general exercisss were thus broken up, nevertheless quite company who gath cred at Jay Tyrrell's saw mill, not far away, united in singing several hymns and listened with pleasure to a stirring address by Rev l. Simmons, D. D., of Danbury. President Foote of the state association also made brief address. A vote of thanks was passed to the owner of the mill for the use of the same and for his kind courtesy. It was also voted to hold rally at Roxbury Falls, next year, on the last Tuesday of July.
