A Shark Killed by n Woman.

Never before were there SO many sharks
proving about the Connecticut coast lo.
OF them have haunted wild Quonochontaug
beach for several weeks, and one of them has
come to grief at the hands of a valiant
Quonochontaug maid. 1t was Annie Babcock,
who works for Mrs Annie s. Briggs among the
sand dunes Of the beach, who bagged the
shark. The wicked fish became foolhardy.
and on the crest of mighty billow came way
up the strand where Annie was strolling. Then
swiftly the wave ran back into the ocean, and the
shark was left partly stranded. The young
woman perceived his plight instantly and,
getting club, ran down to the beach to the
side OF the struggling fish. As she came up he
opened his cavernous jaws, thrashed the sand
with his tail and threw his head about. Then
Annie brought the heavy club down with hasty
strokes upon his ugly head. She soon had him
land out. and then getting a boat hook and with
the aid OF some beach campers she dragged
him clear up on the shore He was feet
10 inches long and weighed 200 pounds.

BULLISS AT LARGE AGAIN.
Queer Legal Complications In the Case
of the Utah Man.

Robert q. Bulliss. the citizen Of Utah who
has been in the hands Of the law officers in
this city, is at large again. His first expert
ence here was all right, with the exception of
few days confinement. After that un-
pleasant experience his case, involving the
alleged sale OF q railway motor for S12 000, 900,
was heard in the Police Court and he was ac-
quilted and released. Legal papers were then
received from Utah and Hugh Turner, who
had caused Bulliss' arrest, was made agent for
the territory. Bulliss was turned over to Tur-
ner, and Messrs. Barker and Webb, counsel
for Bulliss, obtained
WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS.
The writ as heretofore published in THE
STAR, was served by Barker, but, rs it was
claimed that he had no authority to serve the
paper, Turner refused to honor it and left the
city with the prisoner. The writ was served
while Turner was on his way through the city
from Alexandria. where he had been taken
ana Turner, pretending that he was going to
answer the writ, secured vehicle and drove
to Brookland. where he took the train for
Rockville, Md. That was on Friday, and Dul-
liss was placed in the Rockville Jail that day.
All this delay was caused by Turner's lack Of
funds to proceed to Utah.
RELEASED FROM ROCKVILLE JAIL
Bulliss WAS received into the Rockville Jail
during the temporary absence of the jailor, and
Saturday. after Turner had received the neces-
sary funds to travel to Utah, he went to Rock
vile only to learn that his prisoner had been
set at liberty. The warden of the Jail there
took lelal advice concerning the incarceration
Of Bulliss and turned him out. Bulliss went
from there to Sandy Springs. and subsequently
returned here with the intention of appearing
before Judge Bradley tomorrow and have a
hearing on the writ of habeas corpus. 1t is pos
sible that he may change his mind before TO-
morrow. In the meanwhile Turner is keeping
quiet. The peculiar condition of affairs is
likely to end in some nice legal questions, and
for fear of going too far Turner has refrained
from entering Bulliss' boarding house to arrest
him

Base Ball.

All Washington is divided into two parts
those who are holding their breath for fear
that the Brooklyn association team will not be
brought here and the others who do not care a
snap of the fingers whether it comes or not. Il
must be confessed that the finger-snappers are
more numerous than the breath holders for
several years of elghth-placeship and half
year of failure do not conduce to a very hearty
quality of enthusiasm on the subject of bring
ing a taii-end club to a tired-out town. Ii is

OF children who had just left school, They
ran in all directions, and all escaped except a
little girl, who was knocked down. The man
on alighting recognized his own child in the
little one who was lying there insensible with
her thigh broken. The accused was convicted
of having, by his reckless driving. endangered
the lives of the children and was sentenced to
pay fine of f10. Before leaving the court he
said to the judge: ''If you had sentenced me to
years imprisonment you could not have pun
ished me more severely than have been pun

A StOry-BoOk Romance,

From Stamford Conn, comes the tale of an
inheritance which reads like the plot of an
English sensational novel, says the Boston
Courier. A crippled music teacher OF that
place had, by strictest economy, saved, some
thirty years ago. about 1900, with which he
intended to buy home for himself and his
mother. He always kept the money beside his
bed. and one night it was stolen. All search
was unavaillng and the poor fellow took up his
work again with weary heart. But the sequel
OF the tale Is that not long since the music
teacher still poor and obscure. received let
ter from man in Australia, whose name he
never even heard. saying that he on the
point of death, that he had stolen the money,
and that SO greatly had it thriven in his hands
that he had amassed large fortune. all OF
which he had willed to the musician. Not long
after the Australian was gathered to hIs
fathers. and his lawyers informed the Ameri-
Can that he had fallen heir TO IN estate worth
over S20.000,009. The moral Of the tale is
whatever the reader pleases.
