Patrick Z. Henneberry, who for the
past six years has been associated with
the firm of John Morrell & Co., as SUI
perintendent Of the plant, has resigned
his position. and will leave his present
employment Nov. /. His successor, or
Mr.. Henneberry's future plans are
matters which have not yet been de-
cided upon. Neither Mr.. Foster, presi-
dent of the company, nor Mr.. Henne-
berry would have much to say when
seen by reporter this morning. The
latter, however, said that, truthfully
speaking, it was more in the nature of a
discharge. and intilnated that the trou-
BILE had grown out Of ill feeling towards
him on the part Of certain foremen at
the plant.
Mr.. Henneberry has been in the en-
plov of John Morrell & Co. for the past
twenty years. and during the last six
years of that time has been superin-
tendent Of the plant. He has many
friends in the city who will regret to
see him leave Ottumwa, should he de-
eide to locate elsewhere. He said this
morning that he had not fully made
UP his mind what he would do.

Demand Investigation as to LootinR ut the
Garden City Hotel Fire.
Much indignation 10 expressed in several
Long Island villages at the published reports
OF drunkenness among the volunteer nremon
who aided in getting the Garden City hotel fire
under control on Thursday. In addition to
the fremen In Garden City. hremen from
Hampstead. Jamaica. Mineola. East Wirliston
and Hyde Park responded to the alarm. The
statement that members OF those companies
stole wines and became drunk 10 not made
by any one connected with tho Garden City
company or the hotel The fireman say that
the charges are false aud malicious and they
demand an investigation. Officials OF the
county OF Nassau and others who watched the
FIRE all day say they saw no looting or disor-
derby conduct among the 1remen. They say
that refreshments were served the fremsn by
tho hotel CONF any and In many instances the
hremsn refused to leave their posts OF duty TO
partake OF them.
George Hubbell. manager for the Garden City
company. said last night:
II have none but words Of highest praise for
tho hremen. They worked faithfully and well
and did not see one case Of drunkenness
among them. The report that they looted the
wine cellar and got drunk on stolen wine and
whiskey is false. During the day they were
offered refreshme nts and the most they drank
was apolinaris water. 1t was hot work on the
building and they didn't want either wine or
whiskey. A lot OF farm hands and negroes
who followed the tlremen from the different
villages did steal some Of the wine and whiskey
and number Of them went off into the fields
and got drunk"

A BIG LONG ISLAND SHARK.
New Rochelle Fishermen Capture 1t After
Hard Struggle.


Capt. Landreaux and Capt. Ryder. truthful
fishermen Of New Rochelle. claim the honor Of
catching the first green-backed man-eatel
shark that has ventured into Long Island
Sound within the memory OF the oldest In
habitants on both shores. Tho catch was
made yesterday morning when the fishermen
went out to pull in their nets near Goose Island
They tugged at the nets without gaining an
inoh and came to the conclusion that they had
the high catch" of the season. To get a
stronger pull they anchored their sloop. and
then tackled the nets again. This time their
progress. though slow. was sure. and after q
half-hour struggle they got the nets farenough
In to see the shark.
The sharks body was tangled up in the net
and his tail was caught between the Stats OF q
lobster pot. Although he could hardly move
tail or fins. the shark put up game Tight. The
fishermen tried to choke him by thrusting an
oar down his throat. but he managed to squrm
about 90 that he snapped the oar. Another oar
was jabbed into his mouth by Capt. Landreaux
while Capt. Ryder hammered him on the head
with a club. That didn't amount to much. A
third oar was tried and turned so that the edge
Of the blade came against the upper and lower
Jaw The shark couldn't bite through it that
way nor could he close his mouth. The rest
was easy The fishermen weighed anchor.
hoisted sail, end started, for New Rochelle.
dragging the OPEN mouthed shark after them.
BY the time they got to their moorings the
shark was dead from drowning.
The fish weighed $50 pounds was 70 feet 3
inches long. and as big round as a beer keg. 1t
was placed on a raft at the foot OF Central ave-
nue. for exhibition.
