the CORONER'S INQUEST HELD Sad Death of John W. Hallihan, 3d, investigated and Verdict Rendered. Coroner George H. Beeves held hi* In que-t upon the death of untarilriBe John W. Hallihan, 3d, of Philadelphia, 8 to 10 o'clock, all of which showed conclusively that H»llih*n entered the elevator ear from the exchange, that the operator, David Fanner iu accordance with his usual practice and that generally noticed in elevators, with his right hand started the car and with his left simultaneously closed the doors, nali han, however, evidently stepped forward before the doors closed mud attempted to get off„ being caught in the doors in the attempt. There is hut seven feet from door toeeiling in the exchange and the unfortunate victim was six feet two inches in heigth. He was evidently struck on the bead first and knocked over afterward, being crushed between the floor of the car and the ceiling. The jury rendered the folowing verdict that "He was aecidently crushed to death in the elevator of the Hotel Cape 'May by the negligence of the operator."

They were then landed and by means of an automobile inspected many miles of the county's State roads, const. - tuting the county's section of the Ocean Highway. CAPE MAY'S FINE ROADS. The fine roads to be found at all points leading into and out of the city are prov ing to be a valuable asset in this age of automobiles. The newest of these is that which enters at the north end of city by way of Schellinger's Landing and which overlooks the harbor. .A new and modern drawbridge is beiug erected over Cape Island Creek to replace Uie old bridge and this will be made an ornamental entrance into the city ;from this* side. By this route a half mile is saved over the old route and a direct route to the hotel Cape May is obtained ' by means of l'itsburg avenue. With 1 the development of the new land on the ' east side this road will become a very ' popular and much used one. The Next Big Bunch - The next big bunch which will appear ' at the Hotel Cape May for convention purposes will be the Pittsburg ugents of 1 the Equitable i.ife who will come after 1 the Fourth and remain ten days. Five ' hundred are expected. ' The Twenty-five New Houses.

Smith had" ex » pired and asked the opinion of City ! Solicitor Lloyd as to what shall be done " He explained tnat he was in a delicate 1 position, having advised with a -litigant ' for the office, Mr. Millet and woula re frain from giving hit opinion aa to what I council should do unless it were defl1 nitely demanded of him. He explained t 1 the law and stated that "Smith had never I 1 had a legal possession of the office by 1 appointment and held .it arbitrarily and 3 without legal right. I He understood informally that Smith ~ r would decline to yield up the books and 6 advised that under all circumstances that f these books should be demanded by 1 council in no uncertain tones. Mr. Arch1 er of the law firm of Grey and Archer 1 r representing 8. B. Wilson elected treas I urer stated he agreed with what Mr. Uoyd had said and suggested a res 3- . iution authorizing Wilson to take over J the office and its effects pending a de , vision, sinoe his was the only claim which possessed a vestige of legality and if unthorized under the terms of the pro I-osed resolution to take possession it J w ould enable council to control the sitnetion legally no matter what the dje cision on the case might he.- i Council contented itself, however, by | x authorizing the Finance Committee of ' council to secure an opinion on the law 1 from former Attorney-General McCarLr, C ' which -will guide their action. , s Solicitor Lloyd also pointed out that Smith's term was expired under his own claim and he had no remaining right even under his own asserstions to eon- J tinue and Mr. Archer stated that if a - demand were made for the books under proper authority and there was a refusal to yield them up the incumbent would be liable to indictment and subject to a fine of 6100 and three years < imprisonment. r : .

McFillan, Reuben B. Clark, B. I. Gib ■ bon, T. Woodward Trainer, Dr. Richard lit Norris, William M. Cassedy. The arrangements for Saturday's prelimin arv races will depend largely however, . the skill and energy of Captain A. G. Bennett, the chairman and the re.-jsiiisibility is well placed. He is • giving close attention to the details and £ will garner into his fold a large per- I, rentage of the fleet to contest for places ! . in the great finals of the Inquirer races occur'here September 3rd. There will A four classes of boats and four series ■ of races. The classes will consist of 1 the flrst class speed boats, second class i speed boats, cruisers and open launches. One boat, the winner in each class, H will represent the Cape May fleet in 8 eacli class at the finals. The entries B are apt to be numerous but they will l| not be all known until the last moment, B it is a way of yachtsmen not to tie m in a hurry about these matters and fl forecasts are therefore necessarily de g The absence of early entries.

however, indicates no • apathy. 4t merely indicates a disposition to .do nothing today that can be done tomorrow, a reversion to an alleged Span ish habit due to the feeling that matters of pleasure should -not be taken in a too business like manner.
