than once that she would lose it if she
wasn't more careful.
Il came down with her the other
morning, and the first thing she did af
ter boarding the car was to deposit her
purse upon the car seat, while she re-

CAUGHT BY 4 SHARK.
The Narrow Escape of a Young Man Of
New York.

\ monster shark il Princes bay op-
cned and closed his jaws on Charles
Boone, visitor at Father Drumgooles
home at Mount Loretta, Staten Island.
Thursday afternoon. Almost by a
miracle Boone escaped instant death.
Boone is in Smith in6rmary now, with
horrible decorations in his right thigh.
The sergeons say that he will survive
his wounds uuless septic poisoning sets
in.
Boone, who is a good swimmer and
very fond Of the water, went in bath
ing off small wharf, which is built
out into the bay at the lower end Of
Staten Island. Charles White, young
man Of his own age, was in the water
with him. White had swan ashore
ard vas standing on the edge of the
wharf when Boone began leisurely
swimming in.
There was a sudden rush beneath
the swimmer. mighty force that
seemed to lift him up as on huge
wave, the CLEAN Of white belly, one
glimpse of monster jaw, with shin
ing white teeth, and then Boone felt
a savage pull at his right leg. He was
near the wharf, and the big fish had
pushed him still nearer He grasped
timber and swung himself clear Of
the water. and White grabbed him.
Boone when pulled on to the wharf
looked at once behind him, bnt the
monster disappeared as he looked.
White had seen the encounter and he
began to question his companions at
once.
1T was shark" said Boone. Il
saw him. I guess he's nipped me-" He
tried to stand up and nearly collapseds
As he sank fainting to the ground
White saw blood all over his thigh.
The sea water had restrained its flow
and the shock had come to Boone all
at once when he had reached a place
of safety. The huge monster had evil
dently opened his mouth and taken one
snap at the swimmers leg, but luckily
had not closed his great jaws. The
mark of the bite was clearly defined.
On the inside of Boone's right thigh
was a cut fourteen inches long that
looked as if it had been made with
knife. 3 great flap Of flesh had been
taken out. On the outside of the leg
there were the marks Of twenty teeth
ina long row. Each tooth had pressed
into the flesh from half an inch to an
inch in depth. Blood flowed from
every cut. There was also lateral
tear of the flesh, corresponding in
length to the vicious imprint Of the
sharks teeth and parallel to it. Boone
had lost 4 GREAT quantity Of blood.

NATIVES CAUSE TROUBLE.
One of Our Soldier Killed in a Riot
at Manila.

There has been a serious clash at
Manila between the United State soldi-
ers and the insurgents. A riot resulted
in one soldier killed and another seri
ously wounded. George Hudson, a
member Of the Utah battery, became in
volved in dispute with a native shop
keeper. Fearing trouble he fred his
revolver to attract the attention of his
fellow-sailors. a great crowd Of ma
tives ran to the scene of disturbance and
Immediately began firing revolvers kill
ing Hudson and wounding Corporal
VIM. Anderson same battery, also hur-
ried to assistance. 4 detachment Of
the fourth cavalry was called out to dis
perse the crowd which slowly retreated

without further damage. Some night
soldier on guard duty saw large body
Of natives stripping the wreck Of a gun
boat in Cato Bay. a boat with an
armed force put out from the shore.
The Soldiers hailed the natives who
failed to respond. A volley was fired,
killing one native and wounding another.
Aguinaldo denies any connection with
the affairs. These fights show the sui
len disposition of the natives. 1t is
feared that frequent, bitter uprisings
will follow.

The True Cause.

The Springfield Republican says:
"Overproduction of print cloths isagain
a source of worriment to the mill mana
gers of Fall River. Plans for curtail-
ment Of output are under consideration,
and it is seriously proposed to pool 81,
900, 600 worth Of the accumulated stock
to be held out Of the markets until the
price improve. Would it not be better for
New Englandto drop upon the fact that
there is no overproduction, that it Is
underconsumption that is the matter,

Of the Delaware Agriculture College.
made this statement:
Il received today from Dr. Bishop a
box containing portion of candy sup
posed to have been eaten by Mrs. Mary
Elizabeth Dunning and Mrs. }. y.
Deane and several Others for analysis.
From descriptions of symptoms sus-
pectcd the presence Of arsenic in the
candy My investigation was directed
exclusively to the detection Of that
poison as near as possible. In the APP
plication of the usual tests | found my
suspicious were correct, and that the
candy contained a very large quantity
of arsenic, and | found pieces Of arsenic
as large as peas \ fatal dose is from
two to three grains, and found IN
three boubons from ten to twelve grains,
enough to kill four persons. 1t re-
quires prescription to purchase arsenic,
but you could buy rough on rats with a
little coloring, which is the same.
The Dunnings are from San Francisco.
Mr. j. 2. Dunning was newspaper re-
porter in San Francisco before the hur-
ricane at Samoa that wrecked the Ger
man and American fleets made him a
famous correspondent. In aft. years
he was the Western manager Q the AS
sociated Press. When the death
freighted box crossed the continent and
struck his wife and his wifes sister
to death he was in Porto Rico man
aging the war staff for the great news
gathering association. He was sent for
quick.
Itwas this man wife the candy was
sent to kill; that Mrs. j. D. Deare
should have been murdered with her
was accidental. The murderess had no
care whom she killed else than the
chosen victims. If somebody tells, or
the husband can guess or the detectives
trace the crime to her and the woman is
ever brought to trial, there will be a
prisoner at the bar ola more remarkable
sort than has faced accusers in the day
of any of US. Such monsters as she are
prodigies even in the ranks of murder
erS.
Mrs. D. 4. Botkin, with whom the
poisoned woman husband was init
mate. has been arrested in San Francis
co charged with sending the candy.
Dunning who vas with the army in
Porto Rico as correspondent, upon his
arrival in New York admitted that it
was his habit to write love letters to
the Botkin woman. Sensational de-
velopments are looked for when Dun
ning's letters to the woman are made
public.

A Wealthy Warrant.

4 man named Peter Cunningham,
was recently arrested for vagrancy in
San Francisco. Cunningham is one Of
the most remarkable vagrants that has
ever come under the notice Of the po-
lice. 1t was shown in court that he
had deposited in local banks $50, 600,
and yet the old man has for years made
it his habit daily to visit down town
saloons and restaurants to pick from
ashbarrels food sufficient to keep him
alive. On the night Of Aug l6 Cum
ningham was arrested by Policeman
Thomas Langford for vagrancy. He was
searched at the station house, and his
pockets and coat Innings produced a
whole basketful Of discarded bread,
cakes. pies. meat. vegetables, tooth
picks. pins. needles and papers.
