OSTERLING VS. CAPE MAY HOTEL COMPAMY. <■>.. Ses'mned Yesterday and Import- f Ut Testimony Token. Tie ease o£ Osterling v». Cope May Hotel Company was again taken up at the City Hall before Judge Endicott of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Keech-kunanETA Mr. Osterling, the only witness bo far called, continuing his testimony. It is evident from the care with which each bit of testimony is examined and sifted that the case will consume several days Of time yet. The cross-examination by Councilor MeCarter, representing the Hotel Company is always interesting and y*.™. to develop the idea of neglect on the part of Architect Osterling in connection with the construction of the hotel. This case recalls one of the most excruciating experiences which lovers of Chpe May ever suffered. Everybody interested "in the resort was bouyed up yrith the expectation that the great hotel erected upon the New Cape May Land in connection with the develop Stent of this tract would be open and an added attraction to Cape May, in the summer of 1906. Sometime in April aa we remember it the dire intelligence Went abroad that the grand hotel which had begun to show its beauty and promise, had met with a serious accident and with serious accident ana

tha} all hopes of iU opening would , have to be deferred until the new ] difficulty had been corrected. There was < not a man, woman or child in Cape j May capable of knowing what this ea- j tastrophe meant to this resort, who was ; not saddened by it and who was not • intensely moved against whosoever was j responsible for it. It was a serious set- ( hack to the Hotel Company and it was more of a setback to the resort. Instead I Of an orderly development of the new 1 enterprise and with it the fortunes of | this resort, this accident to the Hotel Cape May delayed its opening, probably two years at least and hindered Cape May's progress probably five years. It is difficult to estima.c how great the damage to Cape May, but it was immense. As a result of the new operations everybody within a radius of three hundred miles was beginning to look Cape May .ward, beginning to be interested. vThe Cape May Real Estate Company had spent thousands in advertising. There was probably not an important railroad in the east along whose lines advertise ments of the Cape May operation did not appear There was not a town or city | of consequence within a radius of five hundred miles in which various advertisements had not caught the eye cf the population. Bad news travel fast and I with a dozen or more jealous sister re- 1 sorts to aid its promulgation with em- ' bellishments, it did great execution in , this case and all of the thousands spent j in advertising up to that date wa3 as ( money thrown away. The architect, F. J. Osterling was not known to the people of Cape May, but the conclusion reached by many thoughtful persons who considered the case, was, that he must be responsible in some degree, if not altogether, for the natural logic which would be applied is "Why is an architect paid such large fees in connection with the erection of a building, if not for his value as a supervisor of the work and for the prevention of faulty construction and of serious

accidents ! If a portion of a great building is insecurely erected and gives way or if such a load is placed upon some part of it which cannot carry it, who is to know about ' these things if not the architect! Why should he not be held strictly to account and even com pelled to pay for the losses suffered by such accident! \Vhat protection have men engaged in large operations in building, if they have no redress for neglect or incompetency." The thorough going manner in which the case is being tried will result in a dear idea of where the guilt lays for one of the most serious setbacks the City of Cape May ever suffered in its long V .
