THAT POLICE MATTER.

The trouble over the two officers, one
of whom recently resigned and the
other was suspended, is not thing of
the past by any means. Just as to the
present standing OF the case 1t is rather
hard to obtain any positive informs.
tion, as the parties are very reticent.
However, il can be definitely stated
that Mr.. Slattery intends to push his
end OF the case in earnest. The case
has assumed such phase that another
effort will be made to have the ex-ofi-
Ger return. There are many runors
current regarding the case, but Nc
Cusker's return will change the CON-
plexion of the matter entirely as far as
Jeffers is concerned, and interesting
developments are anticipated.
Many familiar with city politics
claim to see the hand Of an astute poll
tician at the bottom OF the recent po-
lice affair, and many are the surmises
as to the success Of his next move on
the political checker board, and what
he intends to accomplish by 1t. There
is one thing very certain, and that is
unless the present executive and
member of the Board OF Aldermen
watch their actions very closely they
will probably have neat trap sprung
on them before they are we'll aware OF
the fact. The general idea now is that
the whole affair has assumed q decided
ly interesting political turn.

BATTLE WITH A SHARK.
New Jerseyman Has q Marrow Escape

New Jerseyman Has q Marrow Escape
From a Monsters Teeth.
Joseph Newman and his son of South
River, N. j., have had an exciting fight
In an open boat with shark. Newman
saw dark moving object in the river
near his house, and called to his sor
George. They jumped into. their boat
and rowed toward the object. Newman
had his shotgun with him, and, as the
son rowed, the man stood in the boat,
ready to shoot.
Instead Of swimming away, as New.
man expected, the fish, which proved tt
be large man eating shark, turned
and rushed for the, boat. With oper
mouth, showing its sharp teeth, the
shark plowed through the water at Q
pace that struck terror to the hearts o.
those in the boat. When it was within
about ten feet of the boat, Newman re-
covered his nerve and sent a charge 4
shot into it's side. The big fish stopped
for an instant, and Newman hastily
shot second time. The charge struck
the animal ON the head, tearing away 9
part of its nose.
The water became dyed with blood,
but the shark was still full of fight,
and, after waiting few moments, as
If undecided what to do, rushed again
at the boat and seized the gunwale in
its jaws. Before it could crush the
wood, the man quieted it with shot
at close quarters. The charge entered
the sharks side, just back Of the head,
and caused instant death. The reports
of the gun had attracted to the river
bank several persons who saw the end
Of the fight. The shark sank, and, al.
though several men dragged the river,
the swift ebb tide had carried it away.

In The Century, General Horace Porter,
In his Campaigning With Grant," de-
scribes the visit Of his chief to the home Of
Mrs. Tyler, whose husband was colo
mel in the Confederate army. General Por-
ter then tells the following anecdotes: We
could see that she was entertaining views
which everywhere prevailed in the south
The authorities naturally put the best face
upon matters and the newspapers tried to
buoy up the people with false hopes. It
was not surprising that the Inhabitants of
the remote parts of the country were in ig-
norance Of the true progress of the war.
General Grant replied In quiet way,
General Sherman is certainly advancing
rapidly in that direction, and while do
not wish to be the communication Of news
which may be unpleasant to you have
every reason to believe that Rome Is by
this time In his possession" The older Ia.
dy then assumed bantering tone and be.
came somewhat excited and defiant in her
manner, and the younger one joined with
her in scouting the idea that Rome could
ever be taken. Just then courier rode up
with dispatches from Washington contain
ing a telegram from Sherman. General
