F. Sargent at noon yesterday. Captain Melville was at that hour about to sit down to lunch, but the cabin boy rushed into the dining- room and exclaimed, “There's something the matter forward, . The master, thinking there was a row among the crew, | rushed forward with a gun in his hand, | but immediately saw what was the mat- | ter when the smoke issuing from the for- | ward hold met his view. All hands were called and the pumps| started as soon as it was known that the ship was afire. Then the jack was | set in the mizzen, union down, and a few | minutes later a crew from the Albatross, commanded by Lieutenant C. S. Kempff, was aboard. These men could not do much, as_they had no appliances. but it was not long beiore the army transport | tug Slocum was on the scene, and_ then the men from the Albatross joined forcej | with the crew of the Slocum and effe | tive work was done. The Slocum was awaiting orders at thq| | foot of Folsom street, and Captain Harry | Marshall had strolled down to see that | everything was moving along in ship- | shape fashion. While in the pilot-house the second mate came to him .and said, “Captain, a_ship in the stream is flying | signals of distress.” A glance through | @i @ NEWSPAPER THIEVES CHASED AND CAPTURED Three of Them Had Stolen More Than Forty Papers When Discovered by Detectives. | Wallace McNight, a colored boy, 12 | years of age; James Sullivan, 13 years of age, and Henry Lee, 14 years, were ar- rested about 7 o'clock yesterday morn- | ing by Detectives Ryan, O'Dea and Mc- | Mahon and booked at the City Prison on | charges of petty larceny. Complaint had been made at police | headquarters by residents on Larkin street, between Union and Sacramento, | that every Sunday morning for some weeks past their papers had been stolen | from their doorsteps, and the three de- | tectives were detailed to catch the thief | or_thieves. They saw the three boys stealing the papers from the different houses. When they observed the officers, the boys ran in | different directions, and each of the de- | tectives went after a boy and overtook | him. Sullivan gave O'Dea a run of sev- | eral blocks before effecting his capture. The boys had stolen between forty and fifty morning papers, eaching having a | supply. They all live on the Barbary Coast. McKnight and Sullivan are weil Known to the police. —_———————— Wanted in Kansas City.

F. SARGENT ON FIRE AND TUGS SLOCUM AND GOVER- NOR MARKHAM ASSISTING HER. 7 coal cargo was in good order, but never- theless Captain Melville decided to cross the Sound and dock at Esquimalt, B. C., for repairs. This was done, and after a thorough overhauling the Sargent sailed again for San Francisco on December 13. She made a good run down the coast, ar- riving last Thursday. She anchored off Harrison-street wharf and was to have docked to-day. Captain’s Statement. Captain Melville of the C. F. Sargent said: I suppose it was spontaneous combustion. How else to explain the matter I don’t know. Seattle coal as a rule never catches fire, but here is my ship and the cargo is on fire. It looks to me as though she was on fire from stem to stern, and while we may drown it out, it seems that scuttling will have to be re: sorted to. We only had an ordinary voyage from the Sound to San Francisco. While we had no heavy weather there were favorable breezes end we made a splendid run from Flattery. 1 expected to dock Saturday, and had we done %o there would have been fio mishap. we will now have to take our chances. Captain Marshall of the transport tug Slocum did splendid work on the burning ship. He was alongside half an hour be- fore another fireboat showed up and had it not been for him and his vessel the Sargent would have been burned to the water's edge. The ship was out of sight from the State fire tugs and until the news was carried to the office nobody knew that a ship in the bay was afire. Then the Markham was sent out under “rush” or- 4 As it is | ders and stayed by the burning ship. The C. F. Sargent is one of the old- timers.

Leech and J. H. Wiley of 931 Mission street were attending the serv- ices in the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, when they were accosted by a wellzdressed young man, who informed Leeth that he was wanted outside. Leech unsuspectingly left the church and was at once pounced upon by two men and severely beaten. Wiley was also attacked, |* but escaped serfous injury. The occurrence was at once reported to Captain Seymour, who detailed Detective Coleman to make a thorough investiga- tlon, On going to the scene Leech was found sitting in the church afraid to ven- ture out. He was bleeding from several cuts on the head and face, and at his so- licitation the detective escorted him to the Risdon Iron Womks. where he is employed. Both Leech and Wiley are satisfied that | they will be able to identify their assail- ants in event they are arrested. —————— ‘Woman Robbed of Her Purse. Mrs. M. Taboas, 620 Folsom street, re- ported to the police yesterday that while she was walking along Folsom street, be- tween Second and Third, Saturday night shortly before 8 o'clock, a man accosted her and made an insulting remark. She indignantly ordered him to go away and he walked along for a few yards. Another man approached her and asked what the first man said to her. Before she could containin, about $10 and the two men ran up Eecong street in the direction of Harrison. Mrs, Taboas was unable to give an accurate description of either of them.

Otto Wallen, who gave his occupation as that of a cook, broke a plate of glass early yesterday morning in the wine vaults of Otto Baherman at 617 Commer- cial strget and, crawling through the aperture, proceeded to help himself to a variety of choice wines. Police Officer Fleming happened to be | passing by, and, noticing that the glass was broken, he summoned Officer Naylor. With drawn revolvers they entered the place and found Wallen in the act of help- ing himself to a bottle of wine. He of- fered no resistance and was placed under arrest. At the City Prison he claimed that he had been thrown out of the place early in the evening, and to get even he re- solved to force an entrance after the pro- prietor had left and help himself to as much wine as he wanted. He was charged with burglary. J. A. Johnson and H. Stone were ar- rested Saturday night while in the act of looting the Fearless saloon, 60 Market street. After an entrance had been ef- fected Johnson remained on guard on the outside, while his accomplice rifled the cash register, securing $5 50. Johnson, the lookout, was seen acting suspiciously by Officer Webb of Morse's patrol, who placed him under arrest. Sergeant Bro- phy and posse were informed of the cap- ture, and on entering the place found Stone, who was hiding in a clothes closet. The $35 50 was found in his pockets. When arrested Johnson had a revolver in his pocket, and_in addition to a charge of burglary a charge of carrying a concealed weapon was entered against him. The Casino saloon at 34 Ellis street was broken into at 6 o’clock yesterday morn- ing and several bottles of whisky stolen. The burglars entered through a barber shop in front of the saloon, and failing to find any money they took the bottles of whisky, but did not touch anything in the barber shop. The police have no clew to the burglars. Early yesterday morning two men, who gave their names as William Adams, allas Chuck Adams, and Daniel McFadden, were arrested in a saloon on Eighteenth and Railroad avenues south, on the | charge of being drunk and disturbing the eace. PAS the officers made their appearance | one of the men dropped a watch on the floor. This was picked up by the officers, who compared it with descriptions of sto- len property reported to the police from time to time. The watch proved to be one that was stolen by burglars from the residence of Charles Denicke on Silver and Layton avenues, San Bruno district. The two men were charged with burglary. YOUNG MAN SHOT BY IRATE FRUIT-DEALER Antone Rengli Wounds John Con- nolly, Whom He Charges With Attempted Burglary. Antone Rengli, proprietor of a fruit store at Thirtieth street and San Jose avenue, shot and wounded John Connolly, a young man living at 126 Valley street, about 6 o'clock yesterday morning. Con- nolly was taken to St. Luke's Hospital. His wound is not dangerous. 3 Rengli_had left his store for a few min- utes, and when he returned he found Con- nelly and two other young men in the rear attempting, as he alleges, to breai into the stqre. He had his revolver wita him. and pulling it out of his pocket emp- tied it at the three young men, one of ihe | bullets striking Connolly. Rengli was arrested by Detective R. F. Graham and taken to the Seventeenth- street police station. After making his statement he was released from custody | by Lieutenant Price, who reported the facts to police headquarter: SHOOTING AFFRAY OVER A NOTORIOUS WOMAN James McNiece, 13 Trenton street, was arrested yesterday morning by Detectives Ryan, O'Dea and McMahon arl booked at the City Prison on a charge of assault to murder. The complaining witness is | John Dunne. | The detectives happened to be passing | Trenton' street about d o-clock and heard | a shot. They saw Dunne and Josie Mar- | tin, a notorious woman, standing on the | sidewalk outside of McNiece's house. Dunne informed them that McNiece had shot him in. the forehead. He showed a wound as evidence of the fact. McNiece was placed under arrest and said that Dunne had not only stolen Josie Martin's affections from him, but had started to break his windows and doors. He grabbed a pistol and struck Dunne on the head with it and then fired a shot at him, he said. ——————— Invalid Supplies and Furniture. Sick room work, ambulance, trained nurses staff.

He was one of the chain gang sent home from Manila to be transferred to Alcatraz en route for Ione. From the reformatory at the latter place he had made his escape, and giving a fictitious age had enlisted in the army. | In the Philippines his record was looked into on account of a number of escapades in which he was the principal actor. This brought the fact to light that he was a | runaway from a reformatory. So he was sent home. The day the Thomas got in Allen man- aged to break jail and hid himself in the chain locker. When the officer on guard came to count noses he found 103 prison- ers, whereas he should have had 104. A search was made and Allen was posted as missing, Saturday he crawled out of his lair and asked Steward Pfeifer to give him something to eat, as he was starving. Allen got a square meal and was then turned over to the army authorities, who will later send him to the Ione Reform School.
