Some Which Were Destroyed by Fire During The Past Thirty Years. Cap* Mar as It was thirty years ago Is oflee Ihe IW-me of Inleresting conversation among th* older people who were residenta or visitors to -Cape Island, as it was then called. The names of some of the large caravansaries which then entertained Cape May guests have almost been forgotten. During the peat thirty , years Cape May has been vislled by four , large Area. In September 1836 the . mammoth Mount Vernon was burned. ; and with It one of the proprietors, , 1 rhlilp Cain, and several members of his i family periahed. ! The Mount Vernon stood along the . bea h to the West of the Sea Breeze . Hotel. From it the property in that lo- i csllty .derived its name of the " Mount | Vernon Tract" The dining room of | the Mo"nt Vernon Hotel was over .six hundred feet long, and it la said that It , was difficult for two persona to rrcog- , hbe each other wfieh standing at each i end Of Ihe room. " "TRe"Tio'el was the \ wonder of the times for -Its immense size . and magmAcent appointments. It was . built by a stock company, and cost a i half million of d dlara. It was burned j In the middle of the night, and the origin ■ of the Are was never known. ; The remains of the foundations of the ■ Mount Vernon could he distinctly traced , until ther were covered up by the grading which was don" on the property last , spring. There are several pictures of i the Mount Vernon still In existence, one | of which was shown us by Mr. John j Johnston of Weal Cape May only a few i days ago. The Mansion House and Knrsall were , burned the year following the dratruc- , inc of the Mount Vernon, or in the year | 1837 The Mansion was a very popular | holet in those days. The Kursall was used as an annex lo the Mansion, and aerved the purposes of a dining hall and 1 hall room, it being specially constructed /or the Utter. The Are which destroyed ' the Mansion House and Kursall originate iu tEFkltchen of the hotel, it being " l»> LhesfiriugL-When.theclcining of the house was In progress. 1 The next Are, which was a very extensive one, occnmd at the close of the sumrasr of 1869. This ronflagtntlnn destroyed all tho h illdings on the blocks bounded hy Washington. Jackson, and Ocean streets, and Beach avenue, witli the elngte -exception of the Old Coinm. bU buildings. The Tnlted Stales Hotel, a large four story building with porticos from ground floor up. waaoneor the buildings burned. It stood on the rorner of Washington and Dc-atur_Mreets. upon ri)' site now and Int-aiuLAtreets. It)' site

ooruiled by Dr. Kennedy's V 8. Pharmacy. and adjacent buildings. The ' Am-riran House slo-sl on Washington, street on the block Mow. between Decs- 1 tnr and Jackson streets. The Are ! originated In a Ja|wnesc store belonging to Pete Boynton. who has ainee acquired some notoriety as a diver and swimmer. ' This conflagration also started in the ' night. The building in which the Are ( broke nut. with Its contented was a sort of tindrr.hnx, and the lire /jutckly got ' beyond all control. The post-ofllre building adjoinetl. and the I'nltol Butewas a few feet distant from the poa'. office. The hotel took Are at the bottom, i and in an Incmbbly short time the Urge ] building waa entirely enveloped in , flames. It waa upon the Hist day of | August that this occured. and the hotels | had quite a number of giiesta, some of , Whom had barely time to make good , their escape. When the cup ,|a of tin- ■ l'nlted State* Hotel fell In. a cloud of ' aparka and burning fragments of wood t went sailing through the air. earned by t a- strong N.

' and the popular old hostelry was quick- . ly reduced to akhes. An interesting and ] somewhat remarks hie Incident of the t burning of the Old Atlantic may be here . staled. The late Mr. Chaa. Itubican. i who will be remembered by Cape. May i visitors of a couple of decade* back, was ; a guest of the Atlantic for that n'ght. | He had Just negotiated for the purchase i ot Diamond Beach Park, and brought with bhn from Philadelphia #9000 in eelpt of his dees I the neat morning. Upon going to bed lie plaeed the money 1 under hi« pillow. When aroosed by the alarm -f Are. Mr. Rttbiean left his room huerideiy. forgetting to take bit money with him, and njrer thought about It Are, when, of course, it waa too late to go back to his room. After the Are was back hut After the Air

over Mr, Rnbiran had the Immense pile ( of ashes thoroughly searched in the vain hope that the valuable roll of bank " notes had escaped the flames. Nothing ' being found, the m ney was of course believed to have been d< strayed. Mors' J than a year afterwards Mr KuMcan re. ceived Information that a colored man, who. at the time of Ihe flrg. was a waiter J in the Atlantic Hotel, had been pur- ( chasing some reel eslgte in Philadelphia. , and that it waasrai her a mystery that a , acquire the amount of money necessary i to purchase the property. Mr. Rubicon's siwpMoos seer* aroused, and detoc ( lives were at ooce set to work on the , the colored rr»] estate -pnrchnaer was the I fintor of Mr. Rubicon's money.
