worked since his marriage. His bride resumed her work at a corset factory and has been the support of her hus- band. To-day she stayed at home, the police say, to try and induce Stephen to go to work. The latter claims that While sitting in the kitchen cleaning his revolver, with his wife on his left side, the weapon was discharged by accident. The police from their information say that Mrs. Leonard must have been standing in front of her husband and that the latter must have been standing up The bullet went straight into the body at tho heart went through that organ and lodged in the spine. If Leonard had been sitting down, the po- lice claim, the bullet would have had an upward course. At the hospital the surgeons say the young woman can live but a short time. Her husband is held on the charge of attempted mur- der, which complaint will be changed for more serious one if death ensues. Coroner Doten has been at the hospital to get an ante-morttem statement, but the woman is unable to give 1t.
 Mrs. Leonard regained consciousness for a brief interval late this afternoon and made an incoherent statement about the shooting. As the couple are Hungarians and as they have a lot of friends the police do not make much iheadway in Investigating the case.
 To her pastor, Rev. Stephen H. Har- sanya, of the Hungarian Reformed church, she said the shooting was ac- cidental Later, in an ante-mortem statement to Coroner Doten, she said the shooting was deliberate, and was the result of quarrel.
 Leonard Is still held by the police. The woman is resting comfortably to- night.

the tardy process of dying where and how he pleases.
 All this sounds very horrible, but there Is one curious fact which goes far to make us believe that this death cannot, after all, be such a cruel one as at first appears. It is this, the fishermen say, that unless they put out the sharks eyes he will afterward cause them a lot of trouble by coming and taking the bait a second time. It sound incredible, but the state ment is thoroughly well authenticated by eye witnesses who have seen a liverless shark do just this very thing. Scientists. doubtless, are right in say ing that tAs shark (which by anatoni- cGl classification is one of the lowest of the filhes) does not feel pain in the way .nexe highly organized animals feel it. We will cling to that belief for 1t is consoling-to us, if if not to- the shark, who is thus sacrificed that his liver may supply us with-what?

PROFESSIONAL SHARK HUNTERS
Descendants of Vikings Make u

Descendants of Vikings Make Up
 Crews for the Work.
 This strictly commercial business of shark hunting is done in small sloops, whose headquarters are in the more northerly Norwegian ports. The crews are for the most part made up of pure blooded descendants of the Vikings, who are still to be found in any num- Der among the codfishers of Hammer fest and Tromso. And a magnificent race of men they are! Accustomed from boyhood to life of hardship, they have a way of treating Father Neptune with a slightly contemptuous toleration, like an old friend of some what uncertain temper, whose rapid changes from smiling benevolence to wild, clustering anger are on the whole rather amusing than otherwise.
 They care nothing for danger and little for suffering--in themselves or in others. Why, then, should they stop to think that perhaps maimed but still living shark can feel?
 The fishing done off the coast of Ice | land in about eighty fathoms of water Three or four gallowslike structures are rigged up around the sides of the sloop, and from each of these hangs a pulley block, over which runs a strong rope, and to the end of this the baited hook is fastened. A plentiful supply of ground bait is thrown out to attract the quarry, and such is the eagerness with which the sharks take the bait that sometimes each one of these gal lowslike fishing rods will have it's fish hooked and fighting for life all at the same time.
 There is no playing" the fish; it is not necessary or possible, and the powerful tackle is hardly likely to break, no matter how fiercely the hook ed shark may struggle. But the shark is not, for his size, a game fish; and, except whes he Is being actually hoist ed up out of the water, there is no very serious strain on the tackle. If i he does now and then get away it is not because he ever manages to break the line, but because a lightly fixed hook easily tears through the soft eartilaginous skeleton of his head, and so sets him free.
 1 As soon as a shark has taken one of , the baits the hauling tackle attached to his particular galows is manned, and without any superfiuous fuss or , ceremony he is hauled up to the sloop and hoisted just clear of the water. ! He is not brought on board at all, but with a few bold slashes his liver is cut out as hhe hangs, and is thrown into tub, to be further dealt with later. Then his eyes are put out and he is cut adrift-to go and complete

Fifteen Persons Probably Killed at
 Haverstraw N Y.
 New York, Jan. 9.-According to a re- port from Haverstraw, N Y, cave-in there shortly before midnight last night carried away twelve houses and fifteen persons are missing. It is reported that they were killed.
 The houses, 1t is reported, were pre- cipitated over a clay bank. The debris caught fire and the lives of a number of persons were endangered,
 The landslip caused the breaking of water main, and it was impossible to secure water to put out the fire.
