FIGHT WITH SHARKS.
Two California Fishermen Have a
Thrilling Experience.


Santa Ana, Cal, July 1S.-Guy Ames
and W. A Graham, two fishermen at
Newport Beach, had thrilling exper-
fence yesterday with two monster
sharks while fishing with heavy lines
fastened ashore. The men were cruising
about the lines in a small skiff, when
they discovered that two of the lines
had hooked two sharks. one fully u
feet and the other more than 20 feet
long. Having no firearms, the men
concluded to try to stun the monsters
by rowing close to where they had
risen to the surface and striking them
on the head with a heavy club This
was done to the larger one, but it was
almost fatal mistake for both fisher
men. One Infatuated deep-sea monster
dashed and churned the water about
the boat, striking it several times with
such force that the fishermen expected
TO see it rent into splinters. At every
opportunity the club descended upon
the head of the shark, for the fisher
men then realized that it was a life or
death fight
The blows from the club came so
hard and SO fast that the efforts of the
sharks were redOubled, when the shore
line gave way. Finding themselves free,
the man-eating sharks both started
seaward with the small boat in tow.
The craft shot through the water at a
terrific speed, estimated by Ames ard
Graham at fifty knots. but they steadied
the sl1if, mOmentarily expecting to
reach Honolulu, when finally the larger
of the two sharks with an extra squirt,
tore loose from the hook and disap-
Deared.
The smaller shark stopped, apparent
" exhausted, when the fishermen. tax
ing advantage of the opportunity offer
ed them, rOwed alongside. dealing it a
terrible blow on the head with the club
and stabbing it several times in vital
spots with a lance fixed on the end of
a pole The shark was too big to tow
back to the shore, 50 they extracted its
liver, which yielded six gallons of oil
The men were three hours rowing back
over the distance which the team of
sharks had towed them in less than
eight minutes

HARVEST OF DEATH ON HUFF CREEK,
Log Train is Hurled Down a Moun-
tain Side and Five Men Are
Instantly Killed.

Williamson, w. Va, June.-lnforma-
ton has Just reached here of most
horrible accident which occurred on tie
upper waters of Huf's Creek, not far from
the line between Logan and Wyoming
counties, on Saturday.
An engineer who was backing down
grade on short line road owned by the
Huffs Creek Timber Company lostlcontroi
of his engine and the engine and the en-
tire timber train, consisting of FIVE cars Of
saw logs, dashed down the hill at a rapid
rate. At slight curve the entire train
left the track and was hurled down the
rugged mountain side, tearing downtrees,
and out of eight men on the cars all but
three were instantly killed. 1t was the
worst wreck that has ever occurred in the
logging region in this section OF the state.
Owing to the isolated locality the names
Of those killed could not be obtained.
The engineer jumped Just as the train
left the track. He wss horribly bruised
but his Injuries are not likely to prove ia
tai.

Dewey Tells of His Trip.

Hong Kong, June L-Admiral Dewey's
flagship Olympia will not tarry on her
homeward journey after leaving here, ex-
cept to take on coal, until she reaches the
MediterraneanS Sea. She will pass through
the Suez Canal about July 5. Then she
will spend the time until about October l
at Mediterranean ports and in crossing the
Atlantic to New York.
Admiral Dewey is still sticking close to
his walks and his books and papers in his
little top-story room at his hotel.
He chatted an hour on what he was read
ing, his cruise and the Philippines.
He is getting his natural complexion
back and is looking much better. He de-
cared that his room is paradise, after
not sleeping ashore for fifteen months.
He is gratifed at the.exemplary conduct
of the American Jackies ashore which has
excited general wonder and comment.
Captain Lamberton put them on their
honor" the Admiral said. "The superior
intelligence of the American seaman,
which won battles during the war, has
served them equally well in this. They
are also needing the warning to avoid the
native quarters, where the medical au-
thorities here assure me they alone run
risk of the plague

PERSONAL NOTES.

Admiral Dewey says the first bit Of fic-
ton he ever read was Robinson Crusoe."
Then he said his sister, now Mrs. Mary
Greeley, started an island in their fathers
barn where George was Defoe's hero and
his sister Man Friday.
Joel Chandler Harris, of "Uncle Re-
mus" fame, does all his work at his home
outside of Atlanta. He walks into the
Constitution" Office daily, carrying his
"copv" with him. Besides his newspaper
work he is at present engaged on two
books.
Carolus Duran says his most severe cri-
tic was the dog of society woman. Du-
ran painted the dogs portrait. The mis-
tress turned up her nose at the result,
sand," says the artist, "the dog looked
once and then bit me in the leg. Yet, it
wasn't bad hicture, either"
Secreretary Long is considered one Of
the easiest men for reporters to interview.
He is rarely misquoted, for he writes what
he wants printed and insists that nothing
else shall appear over his name. Only
once, when very busy, did he depart from
this rule. He was asked once how he had
spent national holiday. "Minding my
own business" was the answer.
Count Cassini, Russian Ambassador at
Washington, is an expert on coins. A
friend recently showed him an old Egypt

Paris. June 3.-The Court OF Cassation
odav rendered verdict in favor OF re-
vision of the Dreyfus case and ordering a
new court martial to sit at Rennes, sixty
miles from Nantes, Tor the trial OF the prl-
soner. Previous to the announcement OF
the verdict, crowds of people assembled at
the Palace of Justice and in its neighbor'
hood, awaiting the dicision. Perfect CAIN
prevailed. The decision, which was pro-
nounced at 8 40 p. M, says the prisoner

SIS Dreyius guilty of having IN 1884,
practiced machination or of having COM
munieation with foreign power or Its
agents. with view of facilitating acts Oh
hostilities in the case Of war with France;

ment in the following tenor:
THE COURTS JUDGMENT.
The court after hearing the report OF the
premier, president of the Civil Chamber

OTHER NEW FACTS.

Seeing that the crime charged against
Dreyfus consisted of furnishing TO for
eion power secret documents connected
with the national defense, accompanying
which was missive styled bordereau'
undated, unsigned and written on hl'
oraned paper which is no longer manu-
featured. and that two authenticated let
ters. written on the identical paper, dated
contemporaneously with the bordereau'
were discovered in the house OF Ester
hazy. the writing upon which experts
have declared to be the same as that OF
bordereau, which facts were unknown to
the court martial, tend to establish the in
nocence OF Dreyfus seeing that the alleged
confessions of Dreyfus to Captain Lebrun'
Renaud ale disproved:
In view of these arguments and without
submitting others, the court quashes and
annuls the verdict of condemnation OF De-
cember %, 1894, against Alfred Dreyfus'
bv the first court martial as the military
government of Paris, and sends the ac-
cused before court martial at Rennes, to
be specially appointed to conduct the new
trial.
