SHARK DEVoURs SEAMAN.

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. 9.-Death be-
tween the jaws of a monster man.
eating shark was the fate of Jules
Antoine, an aged seaman, in the har-
bar here yesterday afternoon. The
grewsome sight was witnessed by the
crew of the British steamer Alders-
gate, on which Antoine was employ
ed as a Waterman, and by half hun
dred baymen engaged in loading the
vessel with lumber.
Antoine evidently had fallen over
board by accident, for the first seen of
him was when the shark swan leis-
urely out from between the ship and
the lighter of lumber with the body of
the man clasped between it's jaws, the
head and shoulders protruding from
one side of it's mouth and the legs
from the other. For moment the
shark remained on the surface, then
sank to rise a moment later with only
the head in sight, the remainder OF
the body apparently having been swal-
lowed. The shark remained on the
surface the second time for nearly a
minute and then was seen no more,
One of the watchers tainted from the
spectacle.

on the clouds, caused by the burning
slab pile at the Newman mill, for a
fire and fastened to report a confia-

President George T. Morton Of the Real
Estate exchange, in his inaugural address
last Wednesday. presented some ideas
on city planning that led to the appoint
ment Of a standing committee on city
planning. Mr.. Morton said. III part:
THE thing for us to do is to go into
the unplatted parts OF the city and somo-
what into the plated districts that are
only partially built up and make a SEN
sible, reasonable city plan 20 work TO, in
stead OF just letting the city grow in

Will plan some main thoroughfares run

the city as nearly as the physical oondl-
lions viii warrant Then plan some streets
along the main valleys with cross streets
in the smaller tributary valleys. These
take care OF the surface drainage and
make, thoroughfares with easy grades
and all with little expense.
THE general planning need only be
enough TO provide for the through travel

arrange for when he plats his land. That
plating should be subject TO approval
OF the city as II Is now, only with the
added provision that his new streets
that he gives to the public and turns
over 70 the city to care for. should be
graded by the land owner before the city
accepts them and before the city approves
OF his plat.
Improvement ~ Little Cost.

omaha's limits, probably eight square
miles are still unplatted and as much
more 10 80 slightly developed that great
Improvement could be made with very
little cost. The money already wasted in
the more developed districts is appalling,
but there 10 sim opportunity OF making

When the sewage 10 carried TO creek

one, and better two, back water valves
to prevent the water backing up when
the river rises. Sewers OF this nature
must be perfectly straight, true and

that &c can be rodded its full length at
any time,
Ordinarily, connecting with a creek or
river that does not maintain an even
level Of water the year around is not
entirely satisfactory. since back water
frequently causes troubles beyond human
power to prevent.
There are septic tanks Of many kinds
for the purposes OF sewage disposal, some
of which work perfectly on a large scale.
but few of them give satisfactory re,
suits on a small scale.

the constant repairs, the freezing OF the

Some bright fellow then thought of

developed the automatic pump which, in

When an electric motor is possible, an
automatic arrangement can be attached
to the motor which starts the same as

reached & certain low point which can

shuts OFF the motor as soon as It has
