JEALOUS MAN SHOOTS WIFE shoots two bullets. into wife amd one into himself— man still living although bullet Massed thsu past of head. On Sunday afternoon at one o'clock William Archer who was boarding at 624 Klmira street ahot and instantly killed hia wife; who was before her marriage, three months ago, Hattie Major, : daughter of John Major of Cape May Point. After shooting ber he turned the jristol on himiclf and fell unconscious on the floor. . ' The Coroner's inquest was held on Monday evening. It appeared that his wife had made several trips to Holly Beach with another man, not returning 1 until morning. After warning her several times he discovered that she had been to Holly Beach again oil Saturday evening and oh arriving home lectured ber for this but did not commence a '/■. quarrel- Sometime later he went into the home to look for a book tliat he had i been reading and on failing to 'find it he ' called to Mrs. White, who ran the boarding house, and asked if she knew where 1 it was. Both Mrs. White and his wife entered the room and Mrs. Archer said, in a jibing manner, that possibly she bad lent it to Harry, the party she bad been going out with. Without waiting to hear further Archer pulled a 44 cali- ' ber revolver from his pocket and fired, ' ■ ' the bullet passing thru her abdomen going in one side and out the other. An- 1 other shot that was fired passed thru - her neck and from the powder that was in her skin it is thought that this shot ' was .fired after she had fallen to the ' floor. After firing the second shot ' Archer fired a shot in his moth, the' bui- I let coming out of the side of his hdad. Archer was given medical attention ■ by Dr. Marcy and sent to the Cooper j ' Hospital; where, from the latest re- . • ports, he stands an even chance lor re- 1 1 covery. Because of the fact that Archer I always had a good reputation it is thot I that the court will be more lenient with j 1 him when his case comes up for trial. j ! The funeral services oj the dead wornan were held on Wednesday afternoon < from the Franklin Street Baptist Church. • ■' , 1 special Turner's for bathing suits, caps and shoes, the latest in style for men and ~ women or children.

BOAT LINE SUCCESSFUL ■ new line that is taking place i of old republic meeting ? . with success— trips to lewes prove popular to local people. i -■ t The new steamboat Cape May is meetr ing with success so far, many people | . enjoying the trips. Sunday the ' boat | t arrived here for the first time on her . regular trips and carried qnite a num- j I ber of people. Her trip on Weduesday , proved still more popular and the number of people using the line is rapidly ( i increasing. P ] , The new line, because of its stopping - point at the Cold Spring Inlet instead ( , of using the old landing of the Republic . makes possible a delightful ride thru ( [ the recently constructed government in- ( - let that is known for many miles. _ I The fine staterooms, an excellent res- ~ , taurant and a good orchestra to enter- ( , tain the passengers make the trip a very f I pleasant one. The Philadelphia press | . has given considerable favorable com- ; . ment on this new line. One clipping , reads as follows; ~ ' i THE NEW STEAMER LINE The opening of a steamship line from I Philadelphia to Cape May will recall to ■ ; many the days when the old Republic | made daily trips to that resort. There , , would seem' to be considerable promise , ire concerned the New Jersey side of the • . for such a venture. So far as boat lines , i Delaware has been somewhat neglected. | i There was formerly a daily service to . ; Salem, but that has been abandoned. In . flew of the great boom which the Dela- ; ware is now enjoying a regular passcn- . ger steamer service from Philadelphia to , eueli points as Eddystone, Pennagrove, | i New. Castle, Delaware City and Salem , • would seem to be justified by the rap- , idly increasing population. — Philadelphia j i J j , I COLDWELL LAWN MOWERS j been on the market for 45 years. ] ; j but the best of materials and > , workmanship enter into the construction i I of them.

BLAZE AT THE , POWER PLANT : trolley power house saved from flames by fire department— manager vanzant has plant running again two hours after fire is out. On Friday afternoon at to o'clock a broke out in the boiler room of the local trolley company. At first it appeared- as if the -entire building would destroyed by the flames, but, later, after the very efficient work of our fire department, the blaze was confined to the boiler room while the engineers of i the plant placed heavy canvass over thejdynamos in order to keep the water ' from destroying them. j' Thy blaze commenced in the roof of the boiler room about ten feet away | from the smoke stack, and affer an in- • s portion for the cause of the fire it was j discovered that in a bend of the flues from the boiler wag a defect which; allowed a small flame to ,get thru and the wooden ceiling. The fire soon spread to the entire roof of the boiler room as the wood was very dry, and also to the ceiling of the engine room de- j stroying the insulation of the connecting ' . wires. \ » j Considerable credit must be given Mr. ' 1 illiam VanZant, the manager of the i line for the work that he did im- j mediately after the fire. As soon as the ' water was turned off by the firemen Mr. ! placed a squad of twenty men j at work repairing the damage to the) plant. These men had been gathered j while the fire was still in progress and j , were ready to work as soon as the fire- ! men left. In h period of but two hours ' these men. directed by Mr. VanZant. completed the clearing of the burnt timbers, placing new wiring between all of i , the machinery and having steam up ' ready to run the plant ligain while in : the evening the cars were running as I usual. . I j The trolley strike closed on Friday ' | evening when the pay of the trolleymen j | arrived from Philadelphia. The men j arrested last week were dismissed im- , mediately when placed before the mag- ' because of the lack of evidence ! ■ j that they had created any disturbance.

IN EARNEST CONTRACTOR COMMENCES TO DM j 300^00 LINEAR FEET OF DITCH- '<* ING— USES A TRACTOR DKAWH 2 plow FOR WORK— OIL TO BE placed IN NEW CAPE MAY. The work on the mosquito evterminaThe contractors, CUybcom and Nicketaoa, who were the lowbidde^k for digging 300,000 linear feet of ditJJP commenced their work with a Urg* plow pulled by a tractor engine in the meadows. This method will enable the work to be done in a very abort tinaa .that the war on the mosquitoes will not be held up. In addition to thia the State Commiasion has taken on many men under the supervision of Mr. Charles S. Beck with, one of the State Engineers, in order that other work might be completed at the * same-ffme as the ditching. A sluice gate was plaoed in Pond Creek, at the mouth that empties into . the Delaware Bay, and a 80 inch (dps will be placed in the gate,. the pipe running two hundred feet intg the Bay, in order that - the water might drain properly. Mrs. U. Skipwitli CannSU, one of the prominent society women of Philadelphia, has interested herself in this work a great extent and has raised over hundred dollars by a ball that was given at the Red Mill Dance Hall laat This money will be used for the work within the city limits chiefly in the purchase of oil to place in the low parts of the new section of the city that was filled by dredging several years ago. The mosquito wor will last for a period of several years and during thia period many men will be employed on this work and on its completion the engineers state that the pests will be ban- ' ished forever. The principles used in this work are the same as those that were used at before the canal was constructed. The low meadows in the vicinity are be drained and sluice gates placed in the mouths of the small drain creeks I that have ' been dug in order that the j tides will Be kept out of the meadows. ( Hie campaign is being financed by the gtate, the County, City and also the society people that frequent the resort in he summer time.
