FISH BY THE TON
Big Timber Greek at Low Tide Yielded a
Large Catch.

Gloucester City. N. john Quinn
and Jeff Ayres, two well-known fish.
ermen, who make their headquarters
at Pirates Den," on the north side of
Big Timber Creek, recently at low tide,
after the ice had drifted away, caught
about 10000 pounds of German carp,
white and yellow perch and catfish in a
drag net in the creek in ten hours time
and it is The biggest haul ever known
to have beer made in this vicinity, and
will go down in history as a record
breaker.
The fish were all put in a pile, which
reached over the stone wall at Wash
ington Park. The two fishermen went
to Philadelphia, and through a com
mission agent sold the &ot to New York
and Philadelphia merchants. 1t took
four wagons to transport the fish from
the river to the WestVille Station.
whence they were despatched.

Married in Stolen Clothes.

Due West. S. CA very swell mar
riage in high colored life was pulled
off here the other night, and many of
the students and tOwnspeople attended
as spectators. Among the number was
Mr.. C. NJ. Boyd, who attended partly
for pleasure, but mainly in the role of
detective. He was looking for suit
Of clothes which had been stolen from
his room at the college a few days ago.
From a seat in the gallery of the
church he viewed the gally dressed
crowd below, and, after carefully scan
ming the assemblage, he fixed his eyes
upon the groom and discovered that he
wore the stolen suit, Mr.. Boyd did not
disturb the meeting by making com
plaint, but waited until the next day,
when an investigation proved the fact
that the swell groom had borrowed the
suit from another negro, who was ar
rested and locked up.

Swallowed False Teet.

CORY, Supposed to be dying
from laryngitis, doctors removed false
teeth from the throat Of Andrew Bur-
lingame, aged about 63 years, and they
now expect him to live.
About a week ago Burlingame be-
came i'll and rapidly became worse, and
no hopes were held out for his recov-
cry. During the first day of his sick
ness the old man remarked that his
false teeth, the upper set, We're gone,
and he must have left them in the
barn. Search was made, but no trace
of the teeth was found.
Today Burlingame said that he felt
a lump in his throat and felt certain
that his teeth were there. To humor
him, physicians were summoned and
an examination made, and there lay
the teeth lodged firmly in his throat
When the teeth were removed he at
once felt better. 1t is the first case
ever heard of where any one ever sur
vived a week with false teeth in the
throat.

SETTLED BY DEATH
Wife Who Sued Her Husband for $lI5, 900
Was at His Bedside.

Bridgeport, Conn.-The strange suit
for $4,000 damages brought by Mrs.
Mary E. Wright Smith, of this city,
against her husband, Eli C. Smith,
came to a sudden end few days ago,
when death claimed the respondent, an
apopleptic shock proving fatal in few
hours Mrs. Smith was at the bedside
OF her husband, ministering to his
needs. With the parents were two
sons, students at Yale.
The action was brought by Mrs.
Smith to recover on account of the
transfer of large parcels of real estate
formerly owned by her. and which,
she alleged, passed out of her hands
through the agency Of her husband,
who, ION account Of his violent tenn
per-" prevented her from nquidating
mortgages with local banks. Mrs.
Smith further claims that the respon-
dent subsequently secured the proper
ty by settling for small figure the
amount of the obligation.
The case in court has been declared
indefinitely postponed by Judge

The Marietta Daily Leader.
THURSDAY. JANUARY II, 1901.
William A. Dye.

The following is taken from the
Sheffield, (Mass,,) Courier Of last week
Mr.. Dye and parents formerly lived
in this city and have many friends
here. His faher is buried in Mound
Cemetery. The unfortunate young
man has a cousin in this city, Hon. G..
G. Middleswart, and two uncles, Messrs.
F. j., and s. M. Dye, in Warren town
ship. His fathers name was Samuel
Dye:
William A. Dye, residing on the
east road to Sheffield-on that part
known as Boardman street-was killed
last Thursday morning while engaged
in cutting down trees. Mr.. Dye, with
his younger brother Howard who was
home on his vacation from Williams
College, left the house about 8 O'Clock
to work in a wood lot owned by them.
They had cut down several trees and
were watching the last one fall when
the accident occurred.
Mrs. Dye, with her two sons, came
to Sheffield from Illinois nine years
ago. The two boys, one 13, the other
10 years old, started in to work on the
farm with a will and persevered. Will
liam had always wanted to be a far
mer and the property was soon great
ly improved by hard work. He went
to tho High School in Sheffield for
year and later to the Agricultural Col |
lege at Amherst for a two-year course. |
At the time of his death he was 90 |
years af age and stood six feet and one
half inches high. He was born in Kan
kaIkee, Ill. his father being a Baptist
minister. He was a member of the
newly organized Sheffield Grange and
an associate member of the Y. P. S. c.
E., both of which sent floral tributes.
The funeral was held Saturday after
noon and despite the cold weather
there was large attendance, some
coming from Ashley Falls. The dead
man was nephew Of DR., Wakefield
and besides him is survived only by
his mother and brother. To them the
blow is most severe one, for he was
such son as any mother might we'll
be proud of and such brother as not .
many young folks are as fortunate in ;
being related tito. His character was
rs sturdy as his physique and the sor- {
'ow attendant upon his untimely death t
S widespread"

Major Fred Brackett. a brother OF
Wlnn Bracket. Secretary and finan
cial agent of the American Exhibition
Company at Paris. recently outwltted
trio Of highwaymen. On January 4,
Mr.. Rrackett went to bank and drew
81, 300 in gold as it was the pay day of
the commission. AS he was about to
enter his carriage he saw stranger
on the seat with the driver, and the ex
planGtion given was that the fellow
had simply asked for a drive.
After entering the carriage the Major
drew his revolver. and directed the
clerk who was with him to do the
same. The carriage turned suddenly
up an unfrequented road. Upon look
ing through the carriage window tha
stranger was seen pressing revolver
against the drivers side. The two
men then jumped out of the carriage
and levelling their revolvers at the
'rcbber, soon had him in their power.
He proved to be an American. After
telling a hard-luck story he was al
lowed to go. The supposition is that
the nervy robber had an accomplice,
and at the proper time the pair in
tended to hold uD and rob the Major
and his clerk.
