STRUCK BY AUTOMOBILE GEORGE REGAN, JR., TWO-YEAR- , OLD RON DOWN BY MACHINE DRIVEN BY ROBERT ARGOE— DR. PHILLIPS SUMMONED — INJURIES NOT SERIOUS.

From Friday's Daily Star and Wave. Yesterday afternoon there was ' another automobile accident in thishity < when George Regan, a little boy about^ 1 two and a half years old was run down i by Robert Argoe. The c^ltd -bad started to cross the street, but hearing his mother call, he turned bad:, immediately i in front of the approaching machine. I The auto struck and threw the boy ! to the curb, where ha was quickly pick- 1 ed up by C. E. Strauss and E. T. Hoyt, < who happened to be near by. Mr. Argoe is reputed to be a very careful driver, I and therefore the distressing affair < seems to have been one of those unfor- <■ tunate occurrences, for which no one is < really responsible, but which happen < entirely unavoidably. Argoe, who is manager of the McCray j farms, is said to have been driving comparatively slow at the time. He immediately went for medical aid and brought Dr. W. H. Phillips, who took ( charge of the case, and after a thorough examination reported that there were no bones broken. The child is bruised about the head, but is doing . nicely, according to latest reports. The ( place where the accident occurred is a ( peculiarly dangerous one, at a point on ( Perry street, where, on account of the ( peculisr laid dut condition of the streets, four streets. South Lafayette, Mansion , -Perry. North and Washington all terminate within the radius of an | automobile's turning distance. ( All of these streets are busy ones, and it is very dangerous for pedestrians. I . especially children to cross at this point.

CAPE MAY AS FISH MARKET . READING WHARFS AT SCHELLIN- . r GER'S LANDING A PLACE OF ACr TIVITY— ABUNDANCE OF SEA FOOu LOADED THERE DAILY FOR NEW-YORK AND PHILADELPHIA. • The excellent wharf and shipping fa- ! cilities of the Reading Railroad system " at Schellinger's Landing are making this ' 5 a very important distributing point for ' fresh fish. The wharf is 200-feet bv 30 ' ! feet. ^ J ' ' Yesterday, three car loads of fish were ' loaded and shipped. The varieties in 1 1 greatest abundance are bass, porgies and ' s blue fish. The fish are brought in, un- ' ' loaded at the wharf, packed in ice, and ' shipped immediately to Philtf^phia, ' 1 New York and other large city markets. ' ' The fishing smacks come in at all hours ' ' of the day and night, and the railroad * ' company has the means provided for im1 mediate shipment,, so that the fish are * landed in the city markets in a few ' hours and iu the pink of condition. * I-ast week, seven cars were loaded, ' . each containing from forty to sixty bar- ' rels. The wharf is a moat interesting ' , place to" visit. A few day* ago there " . were at one time, ten fishing smacks. *■ I four pleasure boats, two menhaden boats, the government dredge, beside v I many smaller craft lying at the wharf ' , at one time. All this presented a very interesting picture and gave a good idea ' . of the business being done at this point. I Yesterday, one boat brought a load of ' I live fisli into port, the boat being pro- ; vided with a well of water in which " , the fish were kept. The Cape May fish- 1 I eries an- owned by Joseph Wilson, and the boats most in evidence are the John c Feeney, of New York; the Victoria. ' Austin Howlett and Edna Burke. Be- " sides the regular commercial fleet of v fishing craft, there are a number of pas- 1 • senger. boats that make daily- trips to * - tlie banks and bring in large quantities ' h of fish. Some of these are the M. P. 4 ' ' Howlett, Zodak. Anna, Queen City and '' ' Theresa. Besides tlie excellent ship- ' 1 ping facilities provided by the Reading • system, the condition of the harbor is ^ 1 also first class. There are sixteen feet ' of water at the wharf and twenty feet • at the liar, which is a condition, which 11 few harbors and shipping points along ' ' this coast can equal. The abundance of fish an.) the excellent facilities tend to . bring many Sunday fishermen from ' . Philadelphia and other points in Pcnn- '' , I-ast Sunday morning's excursion 1 train brought eight hundred to Schellen- * [ ger's Landing and there was a wild r . scramble for the wharf, when the train '' . stopped. All came back from the banks, 1 . later in tlie day with a good supply of 1 fish. 4 > o — I DROWNING ACCIDENT AT CAPE MAY POINT | Monday morning at 11.40, while in « bathing at Cape May Point, James I ' Leavealev, aged twenty years, of 50.77 t Kaiser street. Philadelphia. Pa., was 1 drowned at the "Rips," where the bay C ' and ocean meet. The body lias not yet r been recovered, and those who are ac- T . quainted with that locality say that it * ^ is doubtful whether it will ever be found, The unfortunate young man came down from Philadelphia on Saturday, and. was spending a few days with his fiancee. The young lady is in a ser- ' ious nervous condition on account of 8 the shock, and medical aid had to be ' r called to her assistance. L o MUSICAL INSTRUCTION ' Flavius J.
