ATTACKED BY A SHARK.

Jacob Van Heese and Elias Turner
of Woodbridge, N. j., had an exciting
experience while fishing in RaritaD
bay on day last week with what they
say was man eating shark. Turner's
right arm was broken few weeks ago,
| and as it was tightly bound up in
wooden and steel splints he could haul
his line only with his left hand. BE
grew tired long before Van Heese, and
sat down in the stern of the sloop to
watch his companion aud steady the
tiller. He carelessly let his hand rest
over the boats edge, and, in this pos
ture, fell in doze. The sleeper was
suddenly awakened by q tug and a
wild shout from Van Heese, who was
in the bow. "Turner, Turner, whale !"
The warning came too late, for, accord
ing to the mems story, a big shark had
leaped from the water, gripped Turn
er's arm at the elbow, and pulled him
into the bay. Turner struggled
with might and main as he sank.
Van Hesse, after giving the alarm,
bounded over the seats to defend his
companion, only to fall and entangle
himself in the reefed sail cloth and
loose ropes. In moment he regained
his feet and sprang to the gunwale.
Deep down into the water he says be
saw the dim outline OF Turner's body.
The sharks victim was still struggling
against his opponent.
The German hurriedly flung off his
coat and vest and grabbed sharp seal
ing knife from beneath a thwart, and
plunged into the water. His dive
brought him below the struggling man
and the shark. Then he took hold OF
Turner's leg, as he stabbed the shark
under one of its fins, The blow took
instant effect, and the water began to
grow red with the blood of the fish.
Van Heese stabbed again and again
until the shark released its grip and al
lowed the two men to arise to the sur
face. Both were we'll out of breath.
Turner, while not unconscious, was
nearly exhausted, and his rescuer had
difficult time getting him into the
boat. An investigation of Turner's
injuries disclosed that his arm had been
again fractured; but the strong splints
had held out stoutly against the sharks
teeth, and were undoubtedly the means
thai saved Turner's arm from amputa-
ton. Meanwhile the shark had risen
to the surface several yards off rudy in
his own blood. He gave little sign of
life. Van Heese then put about, and
once on shore Turner's broken arm was
reset by doctor at Tottenville.

Accident ON an Elevated Road.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-There was q
lively five minutes at the City Hall
station of the Third avenue elevated
railroad shortly before 10 o'clock this
morning when an engine attached to
five cars loaded with passengers got
beyond control and smashed into the
bumpers at the end of the track. The
passengers were piled up in heaps in the
different cars. A few sailed through
the air until they struck cross seats,
and when they did strike them it was
with such force as to tear the seats
loose. When the heaps of humanity
and splintels had been separated it was
found that almost dozen passengers
were in the immediate need of medical
assistance. More than that number
were injured, possibly two dozen in all,
but they hurried away before their
names or the extent of their injuries
could be learned.

TUESDAY EVENING. AUG. 10, 10 IS.

THE PROFESSOR of political economy
in the University of Chicago has been
removed for teaching that people can
not do what they please with their own,
and the anti Christian idea that man
must not look after the interests of his
own household first, and shall not, if
he choose, pay lsborer as much for
one hour as he pays others for twelve.
The trustees of the University were
right in removing him, but his teach
ings are marching or to the inevitable
end. In country where suffrage is un-
restricted, in which a majority OF the
voters have no material interest to pre-
serve, and where no change could be
the worse for them, but might be for the
better, anarchy is bound, sooner or
later, to precede the man on horseback.
