HARRISON COTTAGE SOLD.
The Ex-President Receives Half of
What It Cost Him.

Cape May, N. J., July S.-Ex-Presi-
dent Harrison has sold his cottage for
about half what it cost, it is said. The
purchaser is w. L Dubois of PhiladeI-
phia. In 1889 a land boomer conceived
the idea that to give the president a
cottage would stimulate business.
He got several men interested, and
finally the cottage was given to the
first Mrs. Harrison by John Wanna
maker, Gen. SewelI, George w. ChiIds,
and others.
The president afterward, it is said,
gave a check for 1000. The adjoining
land did not sell and the boomer failed
for half million.

BIG KING STREET.

SHOT BY AN OFFICER.-Shortly after
two o'clock this afternoon, while Officer
Hall was patrolling his beat on the
Strand, he saw youth named William
Bright carrying lunch basket and
about to enter Mr.. Julius Dreifuss junk
store. Bright having for some time
borne an unsavory reputation-he, with
his two brothers, who are now in jail
for burglary, having been arrested on
many occasions for stealing-the officer
called to him to stop. The boy, seeing
the officer was determined to overhaul
him and examine the contents of the
basket, dropped the receptacle and ran.
The officer called upon him to stop, but
he kept on, when the former discharged
his revolver at him, intending to shoot
over his head and frighten him into
submission. The ball, however. struck
Bright in the right side and he fell.
The boy was taken to the station house
as quickly as possible, where Drs. Pur.
VS. and Miller attended him. The ball
passed entirely through the boys body,
but it is believed his wound will not
prove fatal. Officer Hall was suspend
Q l from duty and placed under arrest.
The case will be examined tonight by
the Mayor. An examination of the
basket showed it to contain broken
brass, which had evidently been stolen.
Bright was shot at early one morning
after he had robbed bread box in
front of Mr.. Schuler's store. He was
running away on that occasion.
