ASTORIA's DISGRACE.

No recent event has so reused the in
dignation of the citizens of Astoria as
the state of affairs on the water front
as brought forcibly to notice ly the
shapghaiug of Charles Gardner on the
ship Foylesaale last Saturday,
That the young mans plish, was dis
covered by Chaplain Mccormac while
holding meeting on board the ship,
and his rescue effected by Sheriff Lin
willie is indeed fortunate, in that it saw
es an inexperienced young man from
the horrors of such procedure, and
once more focuses the public's atten-
tion upon and directs the wrath Of Of
Tended justice at this barharous prac-
tice. The state of the public mind is
truthfully shown by the action of a
large delegation Of ladies from the As
toria Reading club. who came to the
office of The Astorian armed with a
vigorous measure which had been pas
sed at their meeting last evening, de-
nouncing with all the yehemence which
injured mothers feel. the wretches who
perpetrate such heinous crimes against
the lives and liberty of boys and men,
and protesting most emphatically
against the action of the court In per-
mitting to go at large man so csi-
IDENTIFY guilty Of such crimes. We sre
indeed pleased to give expression to
their justifiable action, and trust such
efforts viii not be in vain.
1t is no secret that kidnapping, as
the law defines the offense, is far from
being an unusual occurrence in AS
toria. Loud rumors are constantly
afioat of men being tumbled into boats,
apparently drugged or intoxicated,
sometimes subduad by blows and
taken on shipboard TO awake helpless
ana at tne mercy OF neafuess Officers.
Will such monstrous orimin&lity be
longer endured? 1t can be stopped,
and now is the time to do it. The
astounding position of the court in
allowing Paddy Lynch to remain at
large in the face of such evidence as
was adduced at the trial is incompre-
hensible.

CLEARED TsE TRUNKS.
Hungarian Took all he Could Get and has
Oissap peared.

On Friday, one of the Hungarlans
employed by H. @. Perrlne & Son,
went through all of the trunks belong
ing to his fellow workmen and stole
all Of the money that they had put
away, amounting to between $3.50 and
$3.50 and got awav before they learned
of their loss. He met a butcher on
his way from the boarding house to
this borough and asked him to loan
him a dollar as he was going to New
York and was out of money. He said
he would give it to - butcher when
he came back.
The wife of the boarding boss
suspected that he was trying to rob
the men for she saw him going to one
Of the trunks. She asked him what
he was doing there and he replied
that he was looking for a paper. She
still suspected him and sent her little
girl to watch him. He noticed it and
told the child that her mother wanted
her downstairs. After she had gone
downstairs he went through the
trunks. They think that he must
have had duplicate keys. Thinking
they knew where to find him, a num-
Der of them started to look him up on

NEW YORK. Oct. 13.-Fire Com

from Mayor Hinchliffe of Paterson,

gun. The letter informed Mr.. Sturgis
that with the breeches buoy success

While the storm@a at its
water rising and hundreds cd9sS
steam launches proved inefficient against
the swift currents, and attempts at
rescue in them were very dangerous
for the rescuers.
Then Mayor Hinchliffe thought OF
the life rope guns used by the New
York fire department. He communicate
ed with Mr.. Sturgis by telephone and
received the latter's quick permission
to borrow one of the implements.
By means of it ropes were hurled
across the waters in Paterson to sec
ond and even third story windows. On
the ropes. made fast over window stills,
women and children and men were
swung to safety.
There are 400 families homeless now
in Paterson because of the flood, but it
is believed that the greatest peril has
passed. The water is steadily falling
and has now gone four feet below the
high mark reached. The only danger
now is that the huge water mains at
Spruce street hill may break because
of the pressure of dirt on them and
flood a new section of the city.
