Capture Ofa IMarine 4NOHster

dispatch to the New York Herald from
Horseshoe, N. j., says: Yesterday after
noon, when about ten miles southwest of
Squan Beach, the crew of the fishing smack
George w. Rodgers noticed what they sup
posed to be a small whale from the regular
ity of its @blow.'' yawl was manned and
chase given. When the yawl approached
near enough to permit the use of the har-
poon it was discovered that the origin of
the "blow" was not that of whale, but
something in the shape of turtle. It's
color was jet black. 1t struggled so freely
that no account was taken of its other pecu-
harities, the men being intent on its cap
ture. Not until it had been harpooned in
several places was the supposed turtle Sc
cured. 1t was towed to the smack and
hoisted to deck, when all hands were aston
lshed to find it quite unlike anything ever
before taken in the waters. 1t weighs about
1000 pounds and is in many respects shaped
like turtle, but no part of its outer casing
is OF consistency to be dignifed by the
| term shell. The head is shaped like tur-
! ties; the fukes are under, but the back and
belly are radically different. The back of
the monster is convoluted, and concave
seams run fore and aft. The harpoons
found ready lodgment in the back; which is
no tougher than an alligator's. The skull
is hard, but the lip or bill is rather soft and
slightly flexible. The mouth and gullet are
lined with soft white teeth, some of them
two inches long. Even these are cartilage
Gus, and all have an inclination downward.
The head, fuke and back are jet black; the
belly, side and neck mottled with great white

probably five pounds, gives the monster
peculiar appearance.
4 Queer Case of Inden.nity.

Simpson, Jr., pawnbroker, and Ran
dolph, clerk, both of New York city, were
courting the same woman, Miss Timberly,
of the city aforesaid, at the same time.
Randolph S suit seems to have thrived the
better. for he finally married the girl, and
Simpson retired to his shop. Soon Ran
dolph called on Simpson, Jr., claiming in
Identification for engrossing SO much of
Mrs. Randolph's tina before her marriage,
also for being in his (Randolph's) way so
often, and causing him the pangs of jealousy,
uncertainty and general unhappiness. He
thought 81 900 would be about a fair and
square thing to settle up old scores. In
short, Randolph became nuisance to
Simpson. and he promised to trouble him
no more if he would pay him a $1,000.
Simpson paid it, and Randolph took re-
celpt in full for value received. In few
days Randolph called on Simpson
for 81, 800 more, and Simpson
told him that he was done with that matter
forever, and that if he troubled him any
more he would have him arrested. Then
Randolph wrote Simpson q savage letter, de-
manding 81, 800, or in the event of q refusal
threatening to shoot Simpson on sight, and
telling him to go ahead with the arrest.
Simpson went to the proper authorities with
| the letter and swore out warrant for Ran
dolph's arrest for blackmail. the legal charge
| being '.attempt to rob- Randolph was not
able to give $4,000 bail, and went to jail.
His lawyer said that it would be an interest
ing case-very, as there were several letters
of Simpsons to be read, and several visits
of Simpsons to Mrs. Randolph to be proved
after her marriage. 1t was jnsinuated thai
| 81, 800 in consideration of subsequent
proceedings on Simpsons and Mrs. Ran
dolph's part, in which Randolph had a fam
lily interest.

A Very Serious Runaway.

Between and 8 o'clock last evening q
very serious runaway occurred on lower Sew
enth street. A double team belonging to
John Jaggar, brick maker, was hitched in
front of 276 East Seventh street, when from
some unknown cause it became frightened,
and breaking from its fastening ran furiously
down the street. A Polander, Joseph Tu-
rowstowski, with more valor than discretion
endeavored to halt the team and was run
o2er. The horses continued running with
the forward wheels until they struck fire
alarm telegraph pole in Brunson's addition,
tearing it down and giving two strokes on
the city hall bell. The injured man was
carried to st. Luke's hospital where he
was attended to by Drs. Davenport and
Wheaton, his injuries consisting of a com
pound fracture of the left thigh bone, and
the central cartilage of the nose was severed.
His wounds are not necessarily fatal but the
injured man will be confined to bed for q
long time. He lives near Lake Como, and
has wife and seven children.

Limestone.

The other bidders were G. w. Flower,
John Nevin & Co., Edgar Fillmore, James
Starkey and M. Ruhe & j. Alton.
Mcintyre, Steele & Co., of Eau Claire,
were the lowest bidders, but as they made no
positive offer to complete the work by the
1st of December, and in other respects did
not conform with the requirements of the
conditions their bid was not entertained.
Objection was made to Franklin Cook be-
cause bonds were not offered in Ramsey
county. McIntyre's bid being thrown out,
the next lowest was that of j. d F. r. Bent
ley, of Milwaukee, and the contract was by
resolution awarded to them. Mr.. Bentley,
being admitted into the room, was asked
about his bonds, to which he replied that he
could give either Milwaukee OF st. Paul
names.
Mr.. Dawson thought they would prefer
Milwaukee, because if he failed to get his
work done in December it would be a
