FIRE AFTERMATH

Fuels Concerning the Cape May Point Blase Not until 7 o’clock last Friday morning was the fire which started in Ihe I.ankenau Villa at Cape May Point on Thursday afternoon, extin* guished. The Hkrai.h i* glad to report that the Ottlnger on lage* and the colored P E. Mission were not destroyed, nor damaged. Judge William H. Btaakr, prcsli -nt of the Mary J. Drexel Home, which owned the Lankcnau Villa said that ihe loss on the house would lie nearly roD.OUO. The furnishings alone were valued it FJO.OUO. The villa was used by Ihe sisters of the Drexel Home and [he German Hospital as a vacation retreat. The villa was built by the late John D. I.ankenau, a banker. Judge Staake Is an executor of Mr. l>ankenau’s estate The Rev. E. Huchman, *u|ierintendenl of the Drexel Home, came lo Cape May Point Friday 1mnediatcly after receiving news of the

lire.

Others w ho came Friday to look at the rain* were Hahlon Bryan, Adolph if. .-chon, Mrs. William C. Hletinand I tty uold .Spaeth, the Haverford College fool ball player, son of the Rev. Adolph Spaeth, of Mt. Airy, whose collage on Yale avenue, was slightly lamaged. City Solicitor E. G. C. Bleakly, of Camden, accompanied Mr. ilryan, w ho is his uncle. Mr. Bleakly has occupied the Bryan ooltage here fur the past few seasons. Others who came down were Samuel C. Stokes, of Germantown, whose handsome summer home, but 160yards from the starting point of the fire, was not even blistered by the flames, and Trevor Haxzard, of 8th and Pine at*., Philadelphia, son of the late itandalj T. Haxzard, who owned considerable property h^re. A conservative estimale places the damage at a trifle over f&O.OOO. The loss is believed to be distributed as follows: The I-ankenau villa, 126,000; Surf and Sea Girl House, $6,0U0, insurance, (1,800; Godfrey Cottage, owned by Mrs. Mary E Lawrence, of Belleraead, N. J., *2600; Wiley Cottage owned by William B. Levins, of 3212 ML Vernon si., Philadelphia, *3,000 insured; cottage owned by Mahlon Bryan, of Philadelphia,$5000, insured; Turner Cottage, owned by John F. Springer, *800. These dwellings were completely destroyed. ;‘l shall not rebuild my places, the Surf House and the Sea Girt," declared Amnon Wright; not for some time anyway. But one family was rendered homeless by the flames, that of Harry Smith, who with his wife and three children had been boarding at the Surf House. They lost nothing. They are now housed in the home of Amnon Wright, owner of the Surf House. Among the fire lighters was John 9. -lanlon, who, with two assistants, vas burning off the paint Irom the south side of the Lankenau Vi[la pre- > ious to the discovery of the fire. It i* thought by many that this burning off of the paint In preparation for a new coat was the primary cause of the disaster. Stanton Is greatly grieved. He was born in Cape May Point and loves the little resort. -“It’s hard, this is," he said. “You can’t think wal a blow this is to ns who have been born and raised here and felt proud of the place. If I was certain that I and my men brought on this fire I’d hardly be able lo stand 1L But I’m not certain. “1 don’t deny that the burning off of the paint might have been responsible, but I don’t think so The flames were Unit discovered inside, while we were working on the outside. It strikes me if we had started the fire it would have begun outside.” Thomas Chester and tVilliam Peterson who were working w ith Stanton, are of the -aine opinion.

COMMENT

aosse Queer Doings Republicans who wanted to attend the Cape May City primariee have not yet seen the call. The reason Is plain. The committeeman, who owns a printing office, does not believe in printers ink when there might be a fair light, and he be left ouL Ihe typewritten notice in his offioe window, >was no. puUlc notice, but it served to keep'Abe people ignorant, .uid prevent opposition to his oombination as would-be "boM.” The Hkhald would have printed the no;ice without cost, if he did not want lo use the ink and paper for the party of which he appears to be a menher for revenue only. As secretary of the oounty oouiinlliee he sent to all the papers In the county the call of the county chairman, but failed to send one to the Capx May Herald. The people may know why.
