Dr. Price was bom on the Price homestead plantation at Town Hank, Low er Township Cape May county, on May 21, 1828, and was tht seventh of John and Keziah (Swain) Price, the latter being a daughter of Daniel Bwaln. Both the bwain and Price families are of the oldest in this '

county.

When the Doctor was three yean of age his father removed to a farm 00 the seaside road above Cold Spring, and on this farm the doctor lived until be reached manhood, and attended school at often aa opportUDity offered. Being of a studious nature he applied himself and sought what education he could gel, both in the common schools and in the Cold Spring academy,which was under the care of the late Rev. Hoses Williamson. From his twentieth to his twentythird year he taught Cape May county

schools.

In March 1868, he was graduated in medicine and the same spring settled ot Tuckerton, in Ocean county, this State, where he has since raided until stricken with paralysis. In November 1864, he married Eliza, youngest daughler of Timolhy Pharo, of Tuckerton, and by this union he had two children, one of which is livhe being Rev. fheophlli Price, formerly pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Cap* May and Isow 8tat* Fire Warden for the New Jersey Forestry Commission. He married for his second wife about ten years ago, Mrs. Mary E. Williamson, widow of the late Thomas H. Williamson, and a daughler of the late William Townsend of this city Mrs. Price etill survives him. Soon after his settlement he interested in and identifled with the public affairs of tbe comma which he lived. The township of little Egg Harbor, in which the village of Tuckerton is located, wa* at that time a part of Burlington county. He became a member of the Burlington County Medical Society in 1864 until his death. He was township enperintendent of the public school* of little Egg Harbor for eight years, and until the law was passed abolishing

county superintendents. He wm postmaster of Tuckerton during the Lincoln and the Johnson ad minis tra lions; was elected to the New Jersey Legislature in 1868. During this a* vice he obtained a charter lo build railroad from Tuckerton to Egg Har-

bor City, and a supplement to a build a railroad from Mat

FARES TO GO UP Price Between Philadelphia and t ape May *2.2.1 By united action of the I’ennayl■ania and Heading Railroad.-,, summer raffle to the seashore i» to be taxed lo meet deficiencies in net passenger earnings. Both roads ha\e decreed an orbltery advance of 25 cento on each round trip fare to Atlanlic City and Cape May. While the Heading has excluded Ocean City and Sea Isle Citj from the operations of th- new schedule, the PcntiKylvanta makes it apply to every resort reached by its line*. The reasons for the raise are: First- The double tracking and rieclrificalion of the line from (Jamden, via Kewfleld, to Atlantic City, tnd al*o the electrification from Newleld lo Vineland and Millville. Second. The improvement of the mad between Camden and Cape May and other seaside resorts south of Ocean

Jity.

Third. The elevation of the line .Jamdon lo eliminate grade crossings. These expenditures amount to apiroximately 89,300,000. The action of the railroad companies n increasing fares after June Aral will rffecl Cape May. The single round trip fare between Cape May and Philadelphla will be 82^5- The 20-trip family ticket will be raised from 820.00 lo 822.60; the 160-1 rip, good for six months, will be raised from 850 830; and tbe 160-1 rip goon lo be used in a year, will be increased from 860 .0 876, and with all of this the rale by -heae ticket* will be Iras than 3-4 cto. a mile, tne cheapest railroad tare -be country.
