Greenamaye A Constable Gets Thumped Trying To Make an Arrest. TWO MORE ADDITIONS PLATTED. The Meeting of the New Board of Trade—The Ogden House Fur- niture Goes Under the Hammer. Thumping an Officer. Constable Wesley has a bad looking face now, as the result of his encounter at the Rock Island depot Saturday eve- ning. . The injuries are not so serious as they appear, and he is about and on duty with his usual vigor. The story of the affair, as told by him, is that he went to the depot™ to arrest one Jim Collins, who was wanted for obtaining goods under false pretenses. Fox & Hughes made complaint, they alleging that Collins got about twenty dollars worth of goods charged on the repre- sentation that he had certain mo coming to him, which representations they afterward found weve false. Col ling, who had been in the employ of the Rock Tsland, was about to leave and had just drawn his pay when Constable Wes- ey arrested him, He concluded to set- tle the bill and when that was done he was released from custody. Michael Eguit then asked Constable Wesley to arrest Collins for an unpmd boards bill. Collins evidently thought creditors were crowding matters too sharply, and he would not have enough of his pay left to get out of town with, A companion, Tom Brown, who has the reputation in police courts of being a bruiser, was waiting for Collins to g his tangled affairs straightened up so to go with him, they having decided to go west. As Constable Wesley went to arrest Colling again Collins gave him the slip, dashed into the freight house with the officer close upon him, ran out and started to go between some cars, The ofticer hit him with his cane and knocked himdown. As he grabbed Col- lins to lift him up, Brown ne up and planted two blows in Wesley's face, and then the two skipped. They have not been scen since, and the supposition is they s gone west. One Tom Brown, who lives at the cor- ner of Ninth street and Sixteenth ave- nue, drops a note to the Ber denying that he is the Tom Brown who struck Wesley, and that the reporter who calls him a “tuff, it is not to my face he would say it.” One three credit to head of one, two and sale.

The sale of the furniture of the Ogden house, that has been advertised for the past month, was begun at 10 o’clock yes- terday morning by ex-Sheriff Reel, as- sisted by Wall McFadden as a deputy. The furniture of each room was sold at atime., The number present was small, and the sale was very quiet. The prop- erty went at a low figure, and much of it was bid in by Mr. Stout. the proprietor of the hotel. The bids had to be two- thirds of the apprised valuation, and most of it was knocked down at this price. Some of the rooms brought about $20, It is estimated that the total sales will not reach $3,000, which is a great sacrifice from cost pri The expecta- tion is based on the promise of the present proprietors, that with the title of the old furniture thus fixed by sale, the Ogden house will be refitted and refurnished, and made a first class hotel in all rwln-!'ls. The city needs it, and all hope the prediction so often made will at last be fultilled, s HR o Guus of all kinds at Odelt & Bryant's, 504 5.

As Mr. Wells took the chair he said: 1t is with a mingled feeling of pleasure and sorrow that I take this chair. 1 fully appreciate the compliment you have bestowed upon me, yet [ feel sorry that you have not plabed a better man in the place, as there are several in the city. }Jn\w\m , this is no time to discuss that question. 1 assure you I shall do all in my power during the coming year to for ; the interests of this orguniza- tion.

Suicide of Young Ralston, and the Story it Brings to Mind. A Sun Fraucisco speciul, January 14, tothe Globe-Democrat: m Ralston, the youngest son of the greatest finan- cierof California, has followed in his father’s footsteps, and committed sui- cide last night near Georgetown, El Dorado county, where he owned a ranch and an interest in a mine. Young Ralston was only twenty-seven years old, and was always noted for his fund of animal spirit and his genial disposi- tion. For some years he has been en- gaged in mining near Michigan Bar with varying success. Rec uull\ he went to Siberia to look at some mines there. On his return he went up to George: town, and it is supposed that he grew despondent because his, ventures had not turned out so well as he had hoped, He shot himself through the heart, and when found this morning was cold in death, Among men and brokers on Pine street this afternoon, the news of ‘the suicide called to mind the death of the young man’s father, the brilliant finan- cier, Wm. C. Ralston, fourteen years ago. Ralston was then the pres dent of the Bank of California, but this was only one of many pnblic and private positions of responsibility that he filled. He was the promoter of a score of great enter- prises, and at b v house at Bel- mont, in the Valley, he dis- pensed du lln-pll.lll which was princ [ No foreign or rn man of dis- tinction visited this city for ten years before Ralston’s death without be! superbly entertained by the millional Itwas the custom to have conches in readiness in this city thus ta his guests down to his tial villa.

The demand was entirely uncx- pected by Ralston, and he found no es- cape except in humiliating his family. ‘here was o meoting of the bink dirvectors, and everything showed that the doors would have to be closed and that Ralston would figure as little bet- ter than a defaulter. For nearly a decade he had been the most prominent figure in the local mining stock market. and by his genius he had more than once got the better unm rising bonanza kings, Flood and O'Brien. It was their influence that precipitated the crash, and Ralston knew that he could hope for no mercy from these men, who rep- resented antagonistic circles, and were powerful enough to control the money market of the city. Ralston wuas an intensely proud man, and he couldn’t bear the stigma of failure after his “Na- poleonic” career for so many years. So, on the morning after this decisive meet- ing, he went to the baths at North Beach to take his usual plunge. He seemed in unusually good spirits, and swam out in the bay with lusty stroke, when he stopped a moment and was seen to go down. When assistance reached him he was dead. Many at the same time claimed his death wasaccidental, but as he was in the prime ot life, there is no ion that it was deliberate suicide. news of his death caused intense excitement, and caused apanic in finan- cial eircles. A disastrous failure was averted mainly through D. O. Mills, now of New York, who came to the rescue of the bank with his fortune and influence. Ralston’s estate fell into the hands of Sharon., who derived large profits from the settlement of it. Itisa singular coincidence that the recent retirement of the bonanza king (Flood) from the Nevada Bank, caused by his henvy losses in the wheat deal, occurred on the fourteenth anniyersary of Ral- ston’s death and the failure of the Bank of California, which Flood was mainly instrumental in bringing about. —_— E AMONG THE WHARF RATS. Cunning Rogues Who Are Watched From a Floating Police S tation, York It may scem strange that the ngs of human beings who live on the river and arve housed like water rats under the docks and piers of this great town. Not even London with its hosts of Thames pirates ulking bout robbers ever had o > lawless mulln,utlu than the thieves that for many s made the harbor of New Yorl o 1o honest mariners and a danger to commerce. Most of the old gang who swept the i and picrs in their black » been |Hl|uu;_'h the \n\lvl much safer than it was still many preda- vascals that keep the watchmen waketul along the picrs where goods are temporarily stored. The working ground ot the river thieve rever booty is to be found and car th the smallest visk. At the k ver docks fronting |h~-lh'uul\- lyn navy yards, where the viver sweeps around aragged jutting turn and the tide dashes obout uncomfortably, the pivates_occasionallly hold high carni- val. The big south side tenements run- ning down nearly fo the water's edge are hhlin;: places for the criminal and storage ground for their plunder, So too on the west side, down in the ighborhood of Charlton and the ad- joining streets abutting on the docks of the North river, where the vicious ele- ments live and thrive, the water thiev find chances for robbery and odd corne: in which to hide w! 1ml they have stofen. e the em of police sury e and repression was adopted no man's life was_thoroughly secure on any of the richly-laden ve: that lay within easy reach of the docks when the darkness of night covered them, and many a tale of piracy is yet told among the grizzly-bearded ‘longshoremen that crowd the drinking places along the West street piers. The scandal of the lawlessne robberies and oceasional murde: oceurred on the w -1 one nightwhen arichl captain, crew and vessel, were taken bodily from an East river pier, towed out sifely far into the bay, and stripped of evi ‘l\tlung of value that the sloop and its crew possessed. e hull of the boat was left, but that was about all, and the crew were landed and warned toget, away from New York as fast as they could ship again. And they did, for when after long investigation two of the chief pirates were captured, not a man of the sloop's party could be found to testify against them. But the occurrence stirred up the au- thorities, and very soon the harbor pa- trol became a recognized and essential portion of the city’s police forc Itdid not.suppress river piracy,nor hasit sup- pressed it, but the thicves have been driven from many of their skulking, places under the piers and along the docks, and where almost whole cargoes used to be stolen and carried away the robbers must now content themsel with a small boatlond and run their chances of escape from the swift-oared police bouts that day and night keep watch and ward over the docks and the stream. Down under the shadow of the big iron pier that is the city’s great outlet to Coney island during the summer months theve is a ragged looking stone building, where the department of docks has offices. Close up to this building, in a granite-walled slip, lies, when not on duty, a rakish, black-hulled sidewheeler that carries forty men, and is nothing more nor less than a verit- able police station. No one would sup- pose that in official parliance the good and seaworthy craft, which has the single word ““‘Patrol” on her wheel- house, is & numbered precinet station- house, with voundsmen and sergeants and a captain, just like the big build- ings in various sections of the mwu where our ordinary policemen are housed. But the men who fill the ranks on the Patrol are of far different brawn and the that culminated ghted sloop, muscle from the men that guard our streets, Many of them are young, hearty fellows who have served “an ap- prenticoship on th s . and all of them can handle an oar or launch a boat with as much promptness and 2ty as the most experienced sailor, T carry no clubs while on duty along the river, for the pirates need more forcible ar- guments than the shaking of a night stick, and those are furnished usually from the quick-spenking mouths of the big revolvers which the harbor police car The life is not a pleasant one by any means, for the viver frout isa long one and the wintey nights are the thie best time for plundering. Through the darkness, the rain and the sleet, al the choppy water, under big ferry ]nun and among the harbor shipping, out into the stream and over 1 the around the E ull of good “things and swarming with thieves, the thrce police bouts, with six men each, pull silently and swiftly all through the night,” The pirates know that the glare of the police luntern may be thrown upon l'l\:ln out of the darkness at instant, and that once s {;ulh-d six pi of brawny arms will send the hoat spin ning through the water after them in a way that will make escape impossible. 'fhu harbor patrol has dene and con- any tinues to do a great work. It has not and may never be able to entirely drive out the river thieves, but when one con- siders the miles of river front that are to be guarded, the hundreds of wharves and docks that are to be watched, the thousands of craft coming and going that are to be looked after, and the un- \ freights laden and un- laden which are to be saved from depre- dations, it must certainly appear a ma velous thing for forty men, with revolv- ers in their hands and the law at their hacks have been able to do so much for the preservation of life and property along our piers and among our hitherto unguarded shippiug. - The Champion Democrat.
