CAPSIZED BY "A WHALE.
Exciting Experience Of a Fisherman at
Brigantine Beach.

There was a very exciting fight with a ceta-
cean monster over at Brigantine, near Atlantic
City. yesterday afternoon right in the famous
slough where Senator Quay has caught many a
big drumfish. 1t was discovered snortng around
in the shallow water by a son of Charles smith,
proprietor of the hotel, and he at once notified a
party of fishermen who we're near by. They
were Frank Ellis of Washington, James Palmer
of New York, b. F. Milligan of Philadelphia
and Ned Thomas, the yell-known burnt cork
artist
They rowed out to the restless monster. but
the moment their frail boat came within reach
it shot out its tale with such force as to upset
the boat and throw the occupants right and
left, two of them being pitched fully fifteen
feet. All scrambled safely to the shore, how.
ever. and held a consultation, which resulted
in their opening fire on the invader Of Quay's
fishing premises.
Pistols and rifles were freely used, but had
little effect Then couple of small anchors
were thrown over the whale, for such it proved
to be. and to the lines two-horse team was
attached. 1t took long and steady pull to
bring the big mammal up to the beach, but it
was finally secured and promptly dispatched.
1t is fully fifteen feet long, has mouth like a
cavern and is altogether the strangest looking
monster ever seen by anybody in that vicinity.
1t will be towed over to Atlantic City tomor-
row and placed on free exhibition.

There were two small boys in the Police
Court this morning. charged with incorrigi-
bility. One was Joseph Burns, white boy,
and the other was David Mason, colored. The
former did not want to go the Reform School,

a few years in that institution. Joe Burns was
complained against by his parents as a bad
boy. who would not 60 to school or do anything
else but hang about freight cars in South
Washington and gave his parents trouble. He
was sentenced to the Reform School.
The little colored boy said he had no home,
that his parents were dead and he wanted to
go to the Reform School. When questioned
Wy the court he said he was too young to work,
but he would work little if he could get it to
do.
do you want to 60 to work." the Judge
asked him.
mo, sir, was his reply, 81 want to 90 to the
Reform School"
The judge declined to send him to the Re-

SHE DIED AT THE AGE OF 113
A Head Of Jet Black Hair Which Grew
Out After She Lost Her Snowy Locks.

Mrs. Eva B. Hart of Cicero Center, NY,
whose death was chronicled Sunday turns out
to have been the Oldest living person as well as
the most remarkable person IN the United
States at the time Of her decease. Her age
lib, verified by the best authority, shows her
to have been born the year after the Declare
ton of Independence was signed. Her life
was strangely checkered, and in her early days
she had several narrow escapes from Indian
massacres in the Mohawk valley. Until within
two years of her death she was very hard
working woman, doing her own cooking, bak-
ing, washing and ironing. In her old age her
hair turned snowy white and began to fall out,
but few years ago her hair was noticed to be
coming out again, and, instead of being gray
or white, was a jet black. 1t was the boast of
the old lady that she was never sick day in
her life nor took a drop of doctors medicine.
Ever since the children can remember Mrs.
Hart has smoked her pipe. The absence of
the doctors and the presence of the pipe is
what she found to be the elixir of life. At the
time OF her death she had six living children,
twenty-five living grandchildren, and twenty
one living great-grandchildren. and one great
great-grandchild, who is Henry Edgar Roe, jr.,
the thirteen-months' son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Roe of West Adams street, Syracuse.

child The wife's answer admitted the divorce
proceedings and stated that, learning that the
husband had reformed, and not wishing to
stand IN the way Of his reformation she dis
missed the suit She further charged that the
father was not fit person to have charge of
the child. Judge Weed asked that the case 20
