CAPTURED 4 SHARK.
Exciting Experience ofTwo Hartford Nj
 at the Shore,

Exciting Experience 1.-TWO Hartford Men
 at the Shore,
 "A 250-pound blue shark, not one of the man-eating species, but classed as a sand shark, and along shore considered harmless, was caught Sunday off Chap mans point, near Oyster river, West brook. The fellow measured feet inch in length and 46 inches in girth at the largest point
 Captain G. W. Dickinson of West brook, and Captain W. w. Whitehead and Charles D. Moore, of Hartford cap tured the prize, while fishing with net. He was hauled in after a lively tussle
 Captain Dickinson had made a haul during the morning on Chapman's beach, near the boat house, but, only securing a small number of fish, decid- ed to try his luck at the point. With the assistance of Captain Whitehead and Mir. Moore, he set the net and pro- ceeded to haul. As the three men pull ed the seine, a bluish-looking, upright fin was noticed swimming around in the enclosure. Captain Dickinson at once exclaimed, "Its a shark--if I only had an axe!'
 The captain was not prepared for such big game. Grasping his best weapon, clam-hook, from the boat, he took a position on the west side of the net, nearest deep water, anticipat- ing a break for liberty by the shark in that direction. The captain had hardly made ready, when the shark, realizing that he was being gradually stranded, made a dash for freedom toward deep water. He broke through the net, but the captain let drive with the clam hook, striking him just above the nose, and drawing blood. The shark. enraged and confused by the wound, turned and put shoreward. Whitehead and Moore grabbed his tail, but the fellow threw both men into the water as though they were but couple of corks. After lively and exciting tus- sle, rope was finally made fast to the tail and the shark was dragged ashore, where he was viewed by the guests of the Oyster River house. He was then taken to Chapman's beach, where Cap tain Whitehead has been camping out,
 All three men were considerably banged and lashed by the sharks blows in his struggle for liberty.
 A beautiful gar-fish, measuring two feet in length, was also caught in the net. The gar, or lance, was nearly 6 inches long.

STARED THE BURGLAR.
Thieves Want MT. Ransom's Diamond Made an Attempt once Before.


 An attempt was made early yester- day morning by burglar to get into the residence of Herschel c. Ransom the Court street liveryman who lives in the three story brick house next to the Fremont hotel. The burglar was heard by Mrs. Susan R. Knox, MT. Ransom's sister, who opened a window and saw man trying to force the door. MT Ransom was awakened and went to the Fremont hotel office, where he telephoned for police. The officers soon arrived and surrounded the build- ing, but in the meantime Mrs Knox had scared the marauder away, and when the officers appeared he had skipped. The same house was entered three years ago by burglars, but they were then frightened off by MT. Ran som. He thinks the crooks are after his valuable diamond bug, which he wears in his shirt front.
