'street. New York, making

log, ♦10,500 vbich, with Interest, miking ♦19,600. Is what la te’ng sued for

before the Chancellor.

To sum np the whole matter, this schemer Mayor J. Henry Edmonds, of this city, srraoged with the three men 1 who organized the company to beat the ] other stockholders out of ♦20,000 worlb of slosh, to be .divided equally a in,mg | the fMuyeach to obtain ♦WOO.

Tbe blood money. 9300, obtained Judas Iscariot-like, is, of course, safely iu his hands' and cannot ha suad fur. This la, very briefly, the story last $4jiosed. and the facta given have been carefully culled from the voluminous bill io Chancery and obtained by interviews with several gcnlkmco Interested.

scored the first ran. “Wag," too venturesome, tried to steal second and was Imt out. (iraves hit safely to third, arid liana reached first on a tap to short., Watts Hied to short, and “Knick"'lilt | unsafely to second. Riverton went out in oue, two, three order,' Graff being strunk out. I lyin-mail opened tbe second inning by an unsafe drive to secoml, and Shan- . non anil larnslhg were out on flies. For Riverton, Huvey hit to 'third ami was out at first. Cake h(t safely between third and short. Simpson hit between .first anil serqnd safely. McFetrldge tiled out to first, and Cake, trying to get to third, was run down hr a great sprinting race by the redoubtable Wagon-

hurst.

Durell was the first victim in the third, hitting to pitcher aw! failing lo reach first hag. Wagonhurat reached first on balls, ami was out trying U> steal second. Graves hit to pitcher and reached third on an ‘error by Simpson, liana made a dandy hit to centre and Graves raij In. Watts tapped It out to third, where it was fumhlerl, and reached first safely. Knickerbocker then came to the hat, and, amkl wild applause, knocked the lull over into the meadow, in the vicinity of UnreU’s abandoned salt p.md, cleared the bases and made a

homer.

This ended the run-getting for the Inning, and until the*, seventh inning, wh'tr Riverton made its Unit ami only run i n MeKetrldge’s three-base hit to centre and a wild pitch by Shannon. •ape May captured another run iu the nfn'.h on Durell'* single to short, a stolen Iraa? and “Wag's" single to centre.

This Two Mile Beach-property C*1 tain Cone's heirs did not .want and, therefore, placed It'wlth Edmunda for ■ale, and be requested the assistance of three other men connect^! with a Cape May land company, Which bo obtained' upon the promise of aWnslderstion for their services. TMu n«m fjrmed a syndicate composfd C< menAwtio had agreed to tbe purchase oFths land and Incorporated as the “Ocean Villa Land

Company."

Edmunds agreed to become a stockbolder in tbe eald company, as did also the three men who Trad organized- the syndicate, and on the 29th day of November, 1888, all Interested In the matter were drawn Into bla private 'office by Spider Edmunds. They held a meeting at which Edmunda and Ida aids stated, according to the papers filed in tbe Coqrt of Chancery, that “the lowest price at which ‘lie said Two Mile Beaoh could be pun .-.sad was ♦63,000," and that the said Edmunds and three aids would each pay 93,000 .toward the purobaae," and that they ire making nothing whatever out of ■sic or purobaae, but wore only nous of scouring the same In conjuncwith", tho other stockholders. On atrength of this these poor blind mortals instructed Spider Edmunds to purchase tbe laud at 965,000 and arranged to pay #40,000 In eaata for said piemisra, 915,000 in one' mortgage, payable In one year ; 910,000 In another, payable In two years. So much for this end of tho story. Everything had worked nicely for Edmunds and his a'lds, and the fact that there was any crookedness in It might have remained forever hidden, perhapa. bad It not been for Edmunds’ inordinate thirst for gold. His “ itching palm" misled fata judg--lent and he performed tbe BENBPICT ABWOLD ACT ihleh he baa played on poor Cape May to much, and approached the Innocrct atoekhwldera and submitted a preposition "that for the sum of five hundred dollars he would apprise them of oertain facta which would result to their benefit iu the sum of fifteen thourand dollars." Tbe proposition was accjpted and “J. Henry Edmunds then and the're stated that the three'men who had organized the company bad actually paid nothing whatever for tbeir stock In said company, and that tbe obecki given by them in supposed payment had been returned to them, and that they therefore held, each of them, five thousand dollare' worth of stock to which they were not legally entitled, and tbe said Edmunds "further informed them of bow and bjr what means they oould render themselves more certain of these They immediately Investigated tbe

“Your orators fnrtherfehow unto your Honor that they have since that time discovered that the said J. Henry Edmunds has through alt of the said trails actions regarding the- aatd property. ‘The Two-Mile Beach’ most outrageously and shamefully deceived aud wronged your orators; and that- instead of the defendant telling- to your orators the truth regarding the same, he has systematically deceived them, or such of them as have had dealing* with him stall times, mud regarding everything.”
