we heard a rumb-

us. Then the earth
shook terribly and
the W b ole plain
was raised many
hundred feet above
the urrou nding
country. Many Of
my brothers and
sisters fell into the
ocean, and for hun

watched the surf
grinding them to-

them against the
rocky coast until

PENSION FRAUDS.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALLAN o.;
TRAIL OF CONSPIR ArORS.


TRAIL OF CONSPTR ArORS.
Readers of the newspapers will re-
call that there has been great activity
on the part of District Attorney Allan
LOT the past several months in prose
cutting persons for falsely swearing to
applications for pensions. The interior
Depantment and the Pension Bureau at
Warrington have been aiding in the
work OF ferretinS out these periurcrs
with the intention. it is said, Of getting
NJ the promoters here in Norfolk Of n
giant conspiracy to defraud Uncle sam.
1t Is said that there are number OF
so-called pension agents here who make
their living by fostering bogus pcn-
SION claims. If sufficient evidence crops
out IN the cases now in tine United
states Court these agents will be in
oicted for conspiracy against the Fed
erai Government, Il much more serious
cnarge than perjury, which several OF
the co-conspiritors have already been
convicted of.
The majority of the pensioners who
nave been prosecuted for perjury in
Norfolk. in fact practically all of them.
are colorcd. Several colored women
have been arraigned, and it is believed
that they are partly the victims of
colored sharpers who call themselves
pension agents. The Pension Bureau
has sent detectives here from Wash
Ington, and important developments
may occur before the next term OF
the United States Court ends.

Mr. Bloomer it was said. has estimated

indifference. He understands that death

Pa. sent his son Paul twenty-five years
old and his daughter Julia, twenty-four

search Of health. Both were i'll of con-
sumption. The change of climate vas
made 700 late. and a few days ago they
died within few hours of each other
Mr.. Tallcy reached here shortly before the
end came.
Sudden change Of altitude and his 'nen-
tai suffering brought on old complaints
in stronger form than ever before, and
Mr. Talley became very ill.,

death of his nephew and niece. and arrived

EXHIBITING A SEA MONSTER.
Savage Dcnizen of the Deep on Show
Rt HntchOEuc.

Patchogue, l.. l., June 22.-The sea mon
ster caught by Capt. John 4. Smith in the
Atlantic. Ocean off Patchogue, has been
brought to the mainland here and placed
on exhibition. There was a great rush OF
curious ones to see the monster.
II is about nine feet long and nine and
one half feet around the body at its thick
est portion. Its head is two and ole-half
feet around and the mouth outstretched
measures nearly foot across. Running
along the jaws are two rows of sawlike
teeth, pointing inward. like those of
shark. The most curious part of the mon
ster is its hard shell back. which begins at
point about ten inches below its head
and runs to the tail.
The shell Is not round like that of tur-
Tie, but uneven, with six ridges or rows Of
pointed edges running lengthwise from
head to tail Its two forward fiippers are
three feet long, and are small. The belly
of the monster is beautifully marked in
black and white, with the pink skin show
ing at different places.
Fishermen cannot tell what the monster
is. Captain Smith says he was four miles
of shore when the monster was found in
his sturgeon nets. AS soon as it touched
the top of the water and saw its captors it
bit and snapped at the men. Captain
Smith managed TO get a rope around the
neck of the monster and choked it TO
death
