AN OCEAN MONSTER CONQUERED,
Fishermen Land Ten Foot Sword Fish
Mt Cape May.

Fishermen Land a Zen Foot Sword Fish
at Cape May.
Special to the jersey Citg Neacs.
CAPE MAY, Aug. %, 1890. -One of the
greatest monsters ever landed on Cape
May shores was caught yesterday by
some fishermen about three hundred
yards outside of the sur and at point
near Mineral Springs. William Hollen,
with his two sons and Sam Trusty, an as
sistant, spread their seine several times
the cottagers. When the net had been
spread for the second catch the two ex-
treme ends were drawn together and
shoreward. When shoal water was
reached the strain on the net indicated a
big haul. Just outside the line of break
ers, when a couple of the assistants
waded out to ease the net, they were
covered with the spray thrown up. They
persisted in their efforts to land the catch
and had the net and its contents resting
on the bottom when they noticed an en-
ormous fish, which they recognized as a
sword fish.
The sword fish did not prove willing
captive, aud lashed the water into a foam
and badly tore the net in its efforts to
escape. A crowd gathered to watch the
fishermen land their prize. When it had
been drawn up on the strand the monster
threw up the sand until a rope had been
placed around its body, and It was then
drawn higher up on the beach and spread
out at full length on its belly. The sword
fish was then measured, and its dimen-
sions from the end of the snout to the
tip of the tail were about ten feet. The
sword attachment measured three feet in
length, three inches across and an inch in
thickness.

The New p. Il. r. Ferry,

This morning / endeavored to gain
some information concerning the new
ferry to be operated by the Penn

street, New York, and this city. The
general impression is that the new ferry

will be operated to relieve the present
terry of the immense amount of wheel
traffic which burdens it.
The new ferry will also be considera-

Shoulder out of Joint.
Policemen Bruen and Monahan found
Michael Sullivan in cellar on Warren
street last night. They took him to the

found that he was unknown and after
inquiries his home could not be discovered.
The man could not give any other facts
and the driver of the Patrol wagon went
to the Third precinct station house and
by telephone asked for instructions from
Headquarters. He was directed to take
the man TO the Second precinct station
house.
When the patrol wagon reached the
corner of Monmouth street and Newark
avenue, Sullivan who had all along OBJ
iected to being locked up jumped out.
The driver gave chase and with the aid
of two other policemen succeeded ia get
ting Sullivan back in the wagon and he
was taken to the station house. This
morning a charge of being drunk was
preferred against Sullivan to Justice
Stilsing- The accused, bandaged up, told
the Magistrate about the same story that
the police related, except that when he
was caught by the policemen after he
jumped from the patrol wagon they
clubbed him so badly that his shoulder
could not be moved.
This the driver of the patrol wagon de
MED and DIR. Gray was sent for. He told
Justice Stilsing that the condition OF Sui
livan was the same as when he had been
before him to have his wounded head
dressed, except his shoulder. Last night
he did not complain of that. but when ex-
amined this morning DR.. Gray found it to
be dislocated The doctor said it could
have been by fall or by clubbing. Sua-
livan was sent to the City Hospital.

Orestes Cleveland's creatures. Each
week in New York a statement of the
balances in each of the, city depositories
is made out and submitted to the Comp
troller. The statement is open to the in
spection of every citizen and is the prop

of the departments and the chief book

pains to acquaint one with the
workings of their several depart

They have nothing to conceal and appear
