Edward Bartholomew Brown filed an
application to take the civil service ex-
animation for hoseman in the Fire De-

it was ascertained that neither Heise

Brown was about to be weighed in the

SHARK EATS A BOY.
Fuils Young Swimmer Under water OF
North Carolina Coast.


RICHMOND, Va. July 2o.-While playing
In the water Sutton Davis. aged 10, was
eaten by q shark at Davis Shore on the
North Carolina coast, ten miles cast OF
Beaufort, yesterday afternoon. The boy.
who was an expert swimmer, had waded
In about waist deep when he was seized
by \ shark, who pulled him under and dis
appeared with him into deep water.
Several men were on the shore at the time,
but before they could lit hand It was too
late to aid the boy. A search was made,
but no portion Of his body reappeared.
1t has been the custom Of the people OF
this section for years to dive and swim
freely, despite the fact that q number OF
sharks are seen daily. Not in fifty years
have they attacked any one. but have con-
tented themselves with eating refuse matter
thrown into the water from the factories.
The shark that carried young Davis
out to sea and ate him is described by wit
nesses as having been from twenty to thirty
feet In length. His movements were 50
swift that tho boy could not avoid him.

RUN DOWN BY 4 STEAMER.
Boy and Three Girls In Peril Until Rescued
by Boats Frsm the shore.

PouoHKEEpsIs, July 2e.-The steamer
Central Hudson ran down a rowboat con-
tanning a boy and three girls In the middle
Of the Hudson River opposite this city, late
last evening. In the boat we're Miss Grace
Propson, stenographer for the Duchess
Manufacturing Company; her brother Carl
IA years Of age, and two young ladies from
New York, guests Of Miss Propson, whose
names she refused to give. having pledged
her word not to.
The party started early in the evenin 6
for row up the river. On the return the
tide was against them and they made slow
progress. 1t was late when they ap-
preached Poughkeepsie and 1t was very
dark, there being no moon. They were
talking Of their hazardous position when
the lights OF steamer wore seen approach
ing from down the river. Miss Propson
and her brother were rowing. They piled
they oars vigorously. but could not avoid
the boat. The steamer, which proved to
be the Central Hudson, from New York to
Rondout, struck the PROV OF the boat
and smashed IL In. There was q rush of
water. which filled the boat.
The cries OF the young women were heard
by Abram Brook, the pilot OF the steamer
who reversed the engine quickly, saving
them from being drawn under the wheel.
The cries Of the party were heard on shore
by Thomas Gilman, Wesley Cashdollar and
Harry kihlmire, who hurried out in skihs,
Gilman was the first to reach the snashed
rowboat which was almost under water
He pulled the four out Of the water into his
boat, but the weight was too much for his
light skiff. Cashdollar and Eihlmire came
up and took the two New York girls. and
all reached shore safely. r
Not one Of the party could swim stroke
Miss Propson said she could not remembe,
whether the Central H hudson stopped or not
