BRIE's DEPREDATIONS.
Young Scoundrels Who Wreck Roll
Ing stock Rounded Up.

Special officers Vickers, Meyer and
William Brown, of Chief John Browns
staff of the Erie detective force, this
morning rounded up a gang of six al
legged young coal thieves, among whom
are supposed to be several implicated IN
the wreck of an engine near the tunnel
about six weeks ago. On that occasion
a coupling pin had been pulled so that
a rear car of a loaded coal train was
left standing and was run into by To-
comotive emerging from the tunnel. The
locomotive was overeurned, and, accord
ing to Chief Brown, damaged to the ex-
tent of $4,000. The Chief says that an
other pin was pulled yesterday by gang
and a similar accident narrowly averted.
The six youthful depredators captured
this morning, were taken to the Seventh
street station house and locked up, four
on charges of petit larceny and two as
disorderly persons Those locked up on
charges of petit larceny were:-Joseph
Hober No. sos Second street, Hoboken;

CLIFFORD REPRIEVED.
Governor Voorhees, Grants a
Respite of one Month
from February 16.

Governor VOORHEES, called up the
Sheriff's office from Elizabeth this morn
ing to inform Sheriff Heller that he had
granted Clifford a reprieve. This being
a legal holiday, the Sheriff's office was
closed and consequently the Governor
failed to connect. He called up the County
Jail, however, and impaired the informa-
ton to Warden Lennon. A few minutes
afterward the Warden took the news to
Clifford, who received it with great
deal of pleasure. He is buoyed up with
the hope that his life may yet be spared.
Under Sheriff Heavey afterward arrived
at the Court House and placed himself in
communication with Governor voorhees,.
The Governor said that he would send the
papers down on Monday. The reprieve is
until March 16, just a month from the
date fixed for the execution.
Hangman Van Hise made professional
visit to the Court House this morning.
He came down from Newark to see about
the Clifford case and when he was in
formed that Governor VOORHEES, had
granted a reprieve he was indignant. He
said he couldn't see what right Governor
VOORHEES, had to interfere in the case
after Governor Griggs had refused to in
terfere. In anticipation of further busi-
ness in his line the hangman made in
Richard Ruffin the negro who killed his
mistress. Annie Wells. Ruffin has not
been tried yet but Van Hise confidently
expects that he will be convicted and
thus thereby boom business.
1t was Judge w. 7. Hoffman who Sc
cured the reprieye He had an interview
with Governor Voorhees, this morning and
after long talk the Governor granted
the desired reprieve for one month. The
reprieye will reach the Sheriff office on
Monday morning. In the meantime an
application will be made to the Federal
courts for writ of error.

Sneak thieves in lower Jersey City have
become, daring of late. Scarcely a nignl
passes but some saloon or store is ropoed.
Last night three attempts We're made IN

cessful.
Patrolnan Van Vechten, at 1890 o'clock
this morning heard glass crash as \ IN the ne

been broken. The marauder had evident
~ been scared away. AT 4:50 o'clock the
same officer found the glass in the side
window in the store of Max Davis, No.

the store. 1t was found that a pair of
trousers, five trouser patterns and cpat
and vest had been stolen. No trace of the
thieves was discovered.
John Conlin, who lives on Varick street

He proved to be James Cooper, a notori-

BLANKET OF GREY.
Fog Hangs Like a Pail Over
River, Bay and City-De-
layed Travel.

Fog, thick and impenetrable, hung like
big grey blanket over the Hudson River
and both Newark and New York bays
last night and this morning, rendering
navigation both difficult and dangerous.
Such boats as could lie up forebore ven-
turing forth at all and those that had
to come out crept slowly up and down
the waterways, noisily jangling bells and
footing whistles to ward off danger.
The ferryboats to New York had ter
r1bie time of it. Moving at a fraction OF
their usual speed they stopped frequently
and hung ON the tide in midStream, while
the pilot sought his bearing. Everyone
of them was behind time and @ new
schedule to suit the weather was adopted.
No boat was despatched until another
was safely in its berth and so only one
boat of each line was out on the river at
time. At any rate, there was no danger
of two boats of one line crashing together,
The two short lines of the Pennsylvania
Railroad ferry ran at twenty minute IN
tervals generally, although in many cases
thirty and forty minutes were consumed
in making the trips. The Twenty-third
street line. robbed of the benefit OF the
high speed boats are capable of, were
subject to much delay.
The Pavonia ferry, AtheC Central Raflroad
ferry and the Hoboken lines were much
bothered, but their employees struggled
hard to master the situation. The Whittier
hall street line of the Central road was
greatly delayed at the New York ter
minus.
on land the fog was productive OF ale
most as frequent delays to trafhC as upon
the water. All the railroads suffered. The
Pennsylvania had trains ten and fifteen
minutes late. #On' the Erie, the Central
and other roads in this city about the
same state of affairs prevailed.
An excursion party from the Baptist
Society of Philadelphia was put to great
Inconvenience by the fog. Over $50
strong, the society accompanied Rev. R.
H. Conwell of Philadelphia to this city on
a special excursion train on the Pennsyi-
vania Railroad. Mr.. Conwell sailed this
morning for Europe on the Hamburg
American steamship Normannia, and the
excursion party was to follow the steamer
down. the bay on one of the Starin. fleet or
steamers.
When the train arrived in this city there
was no boat III waiting. After standing
around an hour the party left in trolley
ears and cabs for Hobollen. Evidently
the fog was SO great that the Starin Conn.,
pany would not trust a boat out.
The Consolidated Traction Company ran
the usual number of cars on the regula-
ton headway. A few minors delays oc-
Cured through slippery rails and empty
sand boxes, but only few moments were
involved.
A spot on the single line of track on Ex-
that several ears were halted upon it
through the inability of the wheels to take
hold. Within the hours of ii A. NJ. and
P. NJ. the cars were blocked at the point
eight times. The car Immediately behind
the stalled one invariably pushed it ON un-
til it took hold. 1t was easy enough for
cars to go fast over the spot but reduced
speed resulted in a block. The small cars
were the only ones that suffered.
