Paid Off Last Claim to Portions of East Cape May. They do asy that the last difficlutles In the way of developing East Cape May have been removed by tbe settlement of certain claims to undivided portions by Bennett beirs, lying somewhere among tbe salt ponds of the meadow land Included in the tract. Tbe four former owner* of East Cape May Beach are to be congratulated upon the final consummation of what 'they so loo- and so devoutly wished, hot it is cause for regret that daring tbe years since they came into possession of the property so mneb of it has gone down into the sea. It may return one of these days; If not to whence it came; maybe to some other needful point along the Cape M*t strand. ' And so the decks are cleared for action, and tbe tint stuck is expected to be msde upon the msrsby portion by the dredgers, which will at the same time open up tbe HtnsU and depths of the proposed lake and build up iu sides into building lots. Tbe next Important step will be tbe building of the breastwork upon the ocean front. Just what part the city will play in this work remains to be seen.

WEEK’S DEATH NOTES CURRENT

Sod Hearts Continue to Mourn tbe Loss of Loved One*.

Franc** Stuart Clifton. The resident community of our baa been deeply afflicted ffcb sorrow thl* week because of tbe death of Mrs. John O. Clifton, familiarly known here aa

Fannie Stuart.

Frances Mary Stuart, named for her mother, was tbe daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Stuart, who for many years resided on North Decatur street. Tbe father came from Philadelphia and settled here In 1848. Frances wss tbe youngest child and waa born 81 years ago. She faithfully administered to both father and mother In their last days, and waa admired by ail wbo knew ber for her devotion aad lovely disposition. She was a member of tbe First Methodist Chareb of this city, sod on the arrival ol ber remains from Philadelphia on Wednesday, funeral service* wen held in the edifice in wbleb she had so often worshipped, Rev. Ell Gifford, a former pastor who knew her well, officiating, assisted by Rev. C. B. Fiaber. Justeevcn weeks previous to the dsy ol her funeral, Mias Stuart was wedded to Mr. Clifton, since which time they had resided at 2821 South Carlisle street, Philadelphia, w4cre she died after a brief lllnesa, on Saturday last, and where funeral services were held on Tueeday evening. So soon did she pass from the altar to the grave, tbit It waa deemed but fitting that ber wedding drees should be her shroud. She is greatly mourned.

Jacob 6. Booting.

Here, there, everywhere, seemingly, where least expected, death continues to lay his icy hand. On Saturday evening last Mr. Jacob S. Bunting, of Philadelphia, occupying cottage at Noitb street and Windaor avenue, was seen mingling with friends in his usual health; on Sunday tbe aad news spread over tbe town that be was dead. He had died suddenly that morning from an attack of apoplexy. Deceased was in hi* 09th year. Mr. Bunting was a well known cloth merchant in Philadelphia, for many yean being located at Second and Market streets, and of late on South Second street. For piobably a quarter of a century be bad, with few interrupting seasons, been quite regularly domiciled here in summer life, almost invariably settling In tbe West-aide neighborhood. It is sad to note tbe departure thus of such as have ao long been identified with tbe life of this resort. His remains

atory in brief.

There waa a good bit of logic, too, in tbe communication of oof of tbe common people to a leading journal, when be aaid that If tbe operators wbo make their millions off tbe work of tbe miners did not want to cut down tbeir gains by granting tbe miners a few cents more per ton, they might add those few cent* to tbe price to dealers and tbe consumers would kick over paying a few cent* more per ton; where** they are by this stubborucompelled to pay from aix to eight

dollars more per ton.

and strife, loss gouging,
