CAPE MAY TO SHARE. CURRENT

naoy ImprovemenU Expected By Pennsylvania Railroad Company. It is fcarol that the death of Su|>eriutendent Dalton, of the West Jersey A Seashore Railroad, may have the effect to delay contemplated pli he-company tlie Sea Breeze Excursion House.^ There is no doubt that Mr. Dayton was favorable to the removal of the old yellow-washed building, ami the opening up of the grounds to improvement in such a way as would add to tlie attractiveness of tiiat section of our city. It Is still hoped, however, that under the management of Mr. Dayton's successor, Mr. I-oveil, the terminal interests of the road at this point may be wisely looked after to such a degree as that all Cajie May may feel the benefit of iM-eded changes of this character. Mr. Lovell is spoken of by those who know him, as a very energetic, far-sighted railroad man, with amiable ■'lispoxStion yet linn in discipline. The Cape May division of the, W. J. A r-. is not to he neglected in the distribution of the $5,000,000* to b i-nded in oil upon the terminals nes of the various branches. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company will spend in all $200,000,000 on their lines, in trackage, bridges, statione, etc. The new train shed Camden was the beginning last year of the work to be done on the W. J. ft 8., to which refer. The work of elevating the tracks out of Camden for both the Atlantic (Sty ami Ca|ie May roads, is nowunder waY. Rows of buildings are about to Ik- removed to make room for these tracks. It is said, that double tracks will In- extended, before tin- summer otf list! as far as Sea Isle JunPtrwi^and may l>e entirely through to Cape MayT'' Double-decked ferry boats will be placed on the ferry* between Camden and Philadelphia, and ere long an elevated passenger way will lie constructed across Delaware avenue to avoid the crush and danger* of the surface cross-

ing.

We believe the Pen ns J will carefully and thoroughly look after their (^ape May interests. Another important item that may with propriety be mentioned in connec-. tion with this article, is the announcement by the Board of Directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Comparn- that the wages of all employes of the company east of Pittsburg, receiving less than $2U0 per month, will be increased per cent., the order taking effect November 1. This will benefit a large numtier of employes residing in this city, and .will 'be gladly welcomed by, them.

A COSTLY RIDE.

Mr. Warner Hires Special Train To

Reach Sick Child.

Mr. C. J. Warner,-of Newark, N. J., representing a school book publishing linn of New York City, arrived here on Monday in order to meet with the leading educators of Cuhtberland and Cape May counties here assembled in their annual institute sessions for the purpom- of doing business in his line and in the interest of his firm. On Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock be received a telegram from his wife that their little was dangerously ill, and that she would like him to return home quickly possible. The morning trains had gone out, and upon ’phoning. homeU «leafned that the message had been filed at ATocal office in Newark about 5 lock the previous afternoon. Mr. Warner was extremely anxious to get home, fearing the worst, and finally decided to hire a special train to carry him to Camden, where he could make close connection for Newark. This be could not get until the iucoming morning trains bad arrived, so he did not get away until about noon. He paid for his spedai $118.50. We have not heard ihe outcome of his little son's illness.

COMMENT LOCAL AND GENERAL MATTERS OF INTEREST DISCUSSED An Impartial Review of Subjecta: Under Thought—The Talk

of the Gopslpa.

FAITHFUL chroniclers of local ints, and with a desire to set |he seal of disapprobation upon

the unlawful ami unjust deeds of evil doers, we cannot refrain from referring once more to the farcical process of conducting the recent elections in this dty in the injecting of moral poison into the body politic of Cape May's community bf interests. v The Herald has been the only Cape May paper to stand by the rights of the people against the machinations of evil men to destroy

the protective power of the ballot

against themselves. We gave warning

beforehand against this wickedness,

wickedness that degrades and disgraces its every adherent and every supporter. There is no way out of the shame they put upon themselves by thdr atliliatiori

with such men.

The pastors of the several churches last Sabbath took occasion, as in dgtr bound to do in their high and holy calling, to denonnee the vile political practices so flagrantly executed in violation of law, of conscience, and of men's own moral convictions. Rev. Edwin F. Gallagher, pastor of First Presbyterian Church, chose for his text

lions of two pas-

sages of Scripture: “Choose ye,” and “What shall it profit.” From ’ the -first

words he dwelt upon the basic priqgi^ America.

Government, wherein its

are cho|en by the people. In the Udterthe found the query too many propound to themselves when the time comes to cast their vote, or to receive the votes of others. Mr. Gallagher utteisd a scathing rebuke to both bribe giver and bribe taker, and said “The who sells his vote sells his convictions, and so sells his manhood, for » mere song. More than that, he barters i>- the underlying principles of American freedom." "And I am told,” he continued, “that in this town, where political corruption is so nun pant, that alone the blacks thus conspire against the liberties and the welfare of the conimumjy, but whites also are guilty,—men who have white skins, but | must lie black at heart to join hands;

with such mischievous work.”

"I am not here,” he said, “to tell you how you should vote, or with which party you should affiliate. I am here to.tell you to lie clean, and honest, and patriotic and true,—true to yourself, to your fellows, to your country and to

your Gpd."

“Choose ye this day whom ye wilt serve, for—What sjarfFIt-profit a man if he gain the whole world 'and lose his

OKTJBOUl?”

The treason of Benedict Arnold was referred to, showing the ignominy and shame that follows those who are not true to the principles of American freedom which they ate in duty bound to uphold, support and protect. Ibcidents that came within hia own observation were given in illustration of this

Mr. Gallagher was warmly congratulated after‘service by many of hia congregation.

IS SOLVED DR. WALKER'S BODY FOUND AFV TER 12 WEEKS’ MISSING.

Discovered In Woods Nearby Where Last Seen at Cape May Point. Remains Removed To Phllada. 35\R. J. NEWTON WALKER, who hail ■L~-V for some time made his home at Wright’s Villa, Cape May Point, disappeared on F'riday, August 15, and all effort to learn what had become of | him proved fruitless. Beyond his having gone by trolley from this dty to the Point, getting off at the Cape avenue crosaiug, no trace could be bad of his movements. For some years Dr. Walker bad been in straitened circumstances, had many discouragements, and was leading a rather precarious existace, and it was at once feared he had immitted suidde. Some little search was made by friends here, but did not, it seems, institute a search about the bushes of the Point, for it yas within a stone's throw of Alexander avenue in the little strip of woods between the beach and turnpike, leading to the Steamboat Landing, thsi body was discovered on Saturday by a colored woman gathering brush wood for fud, just twelve weeks from the time of his disappearance. A revolver by his side, with two chamber* empty, told the storvoTJIi* death. When Sea Grove^Wow Cape May Point^hu. starteTTn 1875, Dr. Walker, being^then quite wealthy, invested largWy in property improvement. Reverses came and his fortune was swept ly. His first wife was a daughter of Alexander Whilldin, owner of the tract upon which the settlement was founded, his second wife bdng Miss Margaret Hildeburn, who was but 17 years of age, the Doctor then bejng 53. His age at death was about 69 yetfrs. Deceased was at one time, up to twen-ty-five years ago, one of Philadelphia's most prominent physidana, and had a very lucrative practice. He was a man of fine personal pn««nce, of handsome, physique and strong$f knit, his gentlemanly bearing, througtfali the vidsnitndes of bis later years, never forsaking

him.

His death is a sad ending of a whose earlier portion was one of prosperity and still brighter prospects. Relatives removed the decayed remains tc Philadelphia on Monday, for pitennent beside the first wife.

JOHNSON’S PLIGHT. Pilot B. F. Johnson Held With Ship In Quarantine. The Russian steamship Baron Drii arrived at Delaware Breakwater about weeks ago, and pilot Enoch Eldredge’s turn would have token up the ship, but pilot Benj. Johnson, of this dty, who hod - planned a little fall tour for himself and wife, thinking to make earlier start, persuaded pilot Eldredge ,to let him have the latter’s ‘‘turn.Yaod thus he has been grievously dilSXppointed, as the ship was held in quarantine until it could be ascertained whether a man who had died on board had died with bubonic plague. And so Mra. Johnson’s antidpated pleasure trip has been seriously delayed. Latest advices state that Mr. Johnson expects to be able to reach home tomb rrow. So possibly he and Mrs. J. will this week start upon thdr pleasure

trip.

facts in brief.

Matters of General and Local Interest Mentioned. Mis* Knight’s seven Atlantic Terrace voltages are being repainted by SohnC. Utile. The colors will remain the wnne as at present Rock fish have lieen coming into market this week, and the glorious spring- : like weather and the toothsome !■ "scalies” turn the mind from thought* of approaching winter. Merchat John W. Mecray’s Decatur street cottage is undergoing a tx-autify-ing process at the hands of Be nnett Brothers, and will henceforth present its attractiveness in cream gray color. Did you ever hear about those eels seen by Joe McCann on the Lakes? With Dan Horn for bis auditor, Joe related how he saw one fine day in the eo^iy summer a ••flock” of sels with feet, sunning themselves, not on the sands, but on tlie rocks (7) of the teke. 5j And Dan has been wondering ever since what kind of rum they sell up there. Now, who will say that “pickled eels’ feet” is not a genuine article on the market.

A SUNRISE WEDDING. Pretty riatrlmonlal Event Celebrated Early nonday Morning. There is nothing like an early start as an omen of success, and so an early morning launch upon the matrimonial « “Sunrise Wedding” should give promise of a happy and successful voyage over the waters so oft, and we think so incorrectly, referred to as “life’s tempestuous sea." It wjis on Monday morning, as the sun crept pp to resume his daily march across the billowy sea, that Joseph B. Hughes, Jr., and Miss Gertrude Entrikin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank tin- ■ trikin, stood before Rev. George - Will- ! lams, at the Baptist parsonage on North street, and were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. The bride was attired in a traveling dress of blue cloth, in readiness for the start upon their wedding journey by early express. Both Mr. Hughes and his sweet little ' bride are held in high regard, and they j may feel assured that the good wishes of many admiring frienda follow them in their entrance upon matrimonial re.spousibilities.

In the power launch “Frederick Arnold" this week are Louie Arnold, CapL York, pilot Samuel T. Bailey,'Harry Hand and M. H. Kearns. They were a voyage of pleasure, gunning and fishing sports from early Monday morning until yesterday. These “old saitt” need not to report to their friends that they never went through the sounds in November under sajb glorious, springlike skies. There has not been so fine a week for boating in the Cape May sounds since 1902 come in. As “Bono” means good, then CapL . S til well Hand's pretty yacht by that name must have carried a good party of good frienda upon a good voyage to Holly Beach, Wildwood and Angle** j on Wednesday. They were gone aU day, taking dinner along, and enjoyed the time hugely. Besides Capt. Hand there were engineer Daniel Focer, Mrs. Joseph R. Brooks, Miss Carrie Douglass and Miss Laura Townsend. Birthday Anniversary. Mr. and iin. Lewis T. Stevens, on last Saturday afternoon, gave a children’s party for a number of little folks in honor of the sixth anniversary of the birth of their son, Holjart M. Stevens. The affair lasted from Z30 until 5 o'clock ! and ended with a treat for the children

present.
