Accident to a Train.

The Cape May express train which leaves Cape May at 8 a.m. met with an accident at Belle Plain on Saturday morning.

As the train was passing the station at full speed a bale of rags from the platform fell under the baggage truck. Its contents became tangled in the running gear of the car, throwing the two rear wheels from the track.

Conductor Shaw saw the danger and stopped the train without other damage.

Cape May's New Line.

The surveyors are at work running the preliminary lines for the new rail-

road to Cape May and the other South Jersey resorts. In a pamphlet issued recently by the projectors of the new road, setting forth the traffic arrangements entered into with the Reading Railroad Company, it is stated that the road will be branched from Dennisville to Sea Isle, Ocean City and Avalon, if the citizens of the latter resorts show a liberal disposition in subscribing for stock. Cape May County people have subscribed for $50,000 worth of stock. The road, as projected, will run through Dennisville, South Dennisville, Dias Creek, Cape May Court House, Goshen, Greek Creek, Erma and Rio Grande, and will cost $200,000. A Horrible Death. Henry Clay Swain, Cashier of the Second National Bank, of Washington, D.C., came to Seaville on the 24th ult. to visit his sisters, intending to return to Washington shortly. Soon after breakfast Wednesday morning last he walked down to the meadow to watch the burning of the dead grass. As the hours passed, and he did not return, his sister went to look for him. After searching for some time she almost stumbled over the prostrate body of her brother, his face, head and hands so badly burned that recognition was difficult. It was evident from the position of the body that he had fallen dead, probably from heart disease, and that the meadow fire had afterward reached the place where he lay. Deceased was born within a few hundred yards of the spot where death overtook him. He was 56 years of age.

Rodan, Stites York, Harry Elwell, Edward F. Townsend, William G. Essen, Charles Finnemann, Horace Ware. West Cape May--John W. Reeves, Daniel Eldredge, Jr. Dennis Township--Charles Way, Walter Stiles, Douglass Robinson, Isaac W. Dawson, George F. Wentzell, Coleman Leaming, Jr., Eleazer Crawford, Lewis C. Townsend.

Council Advised to Move Slowly. An adjourned meeting of Council was

held on Friday evening, Mayor Moore

in the chair. Councilman Corson, Canfield, Steelman and Hand were present. In the absence of the Clerk, Councilman Canfield was chosen to fill the vacancy for the evening.

The minutes of the previous meeting

were read and approved.

Harry L. Conver was re-elected Mar-

shal for the ensuing year.

The sewer ordinance was next taken up for consideration. The Borough Solicitor--S. C. Woodhull--was present and was called upon to give his views on said ordinance. Mr. Woodhull first stated that the matter in question was one of vital importance to the borough and one that should receive due consideration and not be passed in haste. After a few other remarks, the Solicitor read the ordinance as introduced. He then said while it might not be considered his duty as Solicitor to offer suggestions, yet the matter was of so much importance that it might be allied to his duty and he would take the liberty to offer them. He then proceeded to read and suggest various amendments of great import. Remarks were also made by A. E. Cox, E. B. Lake and George L. Horn. The latter having had considerable ex-

perience in Philadelphia, struck the

key-note when he sanctioned all suggestions made by the Solicitor, stating that the borough had better delay the work a few years than have an imperfect system foisted upon it. The matter of amendments was left for Council as committee of the whole to consider after adjournment. Dr. J. S. Waggoner, William Lake, Jacob C. Steelman, Benjamin Newkirk and Jesse Conver were appointed members of the Board of Health for the ensuing year. Bills to the amount of $80.25 were presented and orderd paid. Council adjourned until to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock. Largest stock of wall paper and decorations in South Jersey at B. R. Smith's, Sixth and Asbury, at Philada. prices.

Walter Gladney, of Philadelphia, was

here last week looking for a house for the summer. Mrs. Ray Applegate, of Camden, was here visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard J. Somers. LANDISVILLE. Joseph Donnelly dropped dead at his residence, about three miles from this place, Thursday last. Donnelly was well known as a snake charmer and snake-trapper, spending most of his time in the vast tracts of woodland in search of his peculiar game. When the dead body of Donnelly was found one of his curious pets, that had been his almost constant companion for three years, was found coiled on his breast. The snake was killed. County Physician James made a post mortem examination

Saturday.

MAY'S LANDING.

Miss Mary Hudson is recovering from an attack of rheumatism.

Improvements are being made to

Pastime Ball Park. A meeting of the Board of Education was held last evening.

The Board of Health held a meeting

Monday evening. Phinneas Wilson received a scalp wound Friday afternoon by a stick of wood falling on his head while employed at the brick works. A special train from Philadelphia over the West Jersey Railroad, Thursday last, struck and killed the four-year-old daughter of Lewis Fenkelstine, of Mizpah, a small settlement near this place. The child had wandered on the track, and when the engineer first saw her he thought it was a bundle of some

character, but as the train was going at

a rapid rate it was impossible to bring

it to a standstill before the little one was struck and hurled some distance. No

bones were broken, but there was a

frightful gash in the little one's skull,

which caused death in a few hours.

She had wandered from home and fallen

asleep on the railroad.

LINWOOD.

Counsel for John D. Saunders, of this place, has instituted proceedings in the Supreme Court against the West Jersey Railroad Company for $10,000 damages for alleged injuries received by being put off a train. Miss Florence and Miss Minnie Adams are visiting in Camden. Charles Adams left on Wednesday morning for the Military Academy at Chester, Pa. Mahala Rose, of Port Republic, is

Mrs. E. Champion has returned home after spending a month in Washington, D. C., with her daughter. Easter service was observed in the M. E. Church at this place by an appropriate sermon on the resurrection of Christ, in the morning, and the administering of the Lord's Supper. In the evening the Epsworth League gave an entertainment consisting of reading, singing, etc. The schooner of J. G. Crate, Captain Showell, arrived from the South on Thursday last with a cargo of oysters consigned to David Conover, of this place. Miss Ella Conover gave an Easter

progressive party to her many friends

on Monday evening.

The schooner Estella arrived on Satur-

day with a cargo of oysters consigned to Harry L. Conover. Rev. Mr. Stiles left on Thursday for his new charge at Woodstown. He had many warm friends here. Messrs. Hackney and Loomis are making many friends by their courteous conduct towards the patrons of the railroad. EGG HARBOR CITY. Miss Caroline Ruetch, 13 years old, of this place, is the youngest public school graduate this county ever had. She is an accomplished musician. The largest tax sale ever known in Atlantic county will take place on May 29th, at this place, when Marshal Geo.

Senft will sell 16,000 town lots and 1655 acres of land owned by the Egg Harbor Land Company. The large silk factor of Waggoner & Co., of Paterson, will move to this town at once. The city will build a $10,000 brick factory for them, and in the meantime Schwinghammer's Hall will be used. Vice Chancellor Pitney heard a suit and reserved decision Thursday in an interesting suit brought by Christopher Lohneiss against the Egg Harbor City Commercial Bank. Lohneiss borrowed $900 from the bank on a property on mortgage. The bank required an insurance policy, and Loehniss paid the amount of the premium to the bank. They agreed to have the insurance placed. The house was recently destroyed by fire, and it was discovered that the policy had never been issued, and Lohneiss demands that the bank pay the amount. Another suit before the Chancellor was that of Louis Lursch

against Robert Holder to recover a farm

that had been bought and not paid for.

PORT REPUBLIC.

A reception was given Rev. J. M. Dare Thursday by about sixty church

members.

The Little Coterie gave a pink tea

party at Miss Eva Bowen's on Saturday evening. A hearty good time was re-

alized by all, and each one carried home

in his pocket (some young men had

two) a dainty egg as a memento. Those

present were Miss Annie Cavilier, Miss

Marette Frambes, Miss Maggie Rose,

Miss Eva Bowen, Miss Lulu Hewitt,

Miss Ella Clark, Dan Rose, Frank Clark, Harry Higbee, Horace Rose, George Field and Frank Lashley. Captain John D. Rose left us again on Monday.

We are glad to see Mrs. William Blake. Miss Annie Cavilier left on Monday for Philadelphia, where she is to be a nurse. PLEASANTVILLE. Mrs. Daniel Bartlett entertained a number of friends on Sunday. Jesse Hise, of Philadelphia, was one of the number. The Easter tea was a great success, financially and socially. The people of the whole town were liberal with their contributions of good things, and then came to eat them, too, that it could not help but turn out well. Mr. Robinson, of Princeton Seminary, will lecture in the Presbyterian Church next Saturday. No admission charged, only a collection. Subject relates to travel in foreign lands. Vincent Lake's children spent Easter Sunday at home. John Unsworth has a fine colt. Mr. and Mrs. Warner were in Clayton attending the funeral of Mr. W.'s brother.

tainment on Saturday night in the Baptist Church. Miss Gertrude North, of Hammonton, is visiting her sister, Mrs. O. J. Hammel. Mrs. C. H. Roberts, of Frankford, Pa., and her mother, Mrs. Charles, of Absecon, spent Saturday with Mrs. Geo. Frambes. Mrs. William Large entertained quite a number of friends from Philadelphia on Sunday.

ATLANTIC CITY. Wilbert N. Severance, 27 years of age, a jeweler doing business at 1102 Atlantic avenue, was taken into custody last week

by the police authorities as a lunatic.

He had been acting strangely for some weeks past, prowling about the city at all hours of the night and doing many harmless but silly things. His mind is supposed to have become affected over religious matters with other contributing influences. His father, who is a prominent Presbyterian divine at Pennington, Vt., has been notified and will take charge of him. The Atlantic City Boardwalk Commissioners condemned on Saturday all lands not deeded to the city which the boulevard crosses at Chelsea and the Inlet. James B. Nixon, of this city, deserted

the bar for the ministry, and on Sunday

took charge of the Memorial M. P. Church, Camden. The electric railroad from this place to Longport will be completed by June. Andrew J. Steelman, 55 years old, was badly wounded about the head late

Friday night by ex-Policeman William

Sykes in a fight over a woman. Sykes hit his rival with a pair of tinker's shears. The trio were arrested. Ex-Policeman Frank Fuller has been arrested for assault and battery. Of the many jests that were practiced Saturday upon friends under a license of time-honored custom, perhaps the greatest joke was the one unsuspectingly perpetrated by the legion of patrons of this resort upon the landlords. Saturday was a record-breaker and furnished another opportunity for demonstrating how easily a great and unexpected throng can be comfortably stowed away when the occasion presents itself. As a mark of recognition of the joyous occasion about to be ushered in the usual decorations of flowers, palms and exotics are noticeable about the exchanges, more in profusion than has ever been attempted before, and on a grander scale. Forest Fires. A fierce fire has been raging in Atlantic county for several days. More

than ten square miles of pine and cedar

woodland have been burned over. This was owned principally by I. G. Adams, E. A. Doughty, H. Ireland and Daniel Collins. All Sunday night a big force of men fought the fire, which extended for three miles along the Reading Railroad tracks. Bakersville and Risleyville were endangered. Fortunately the wind changed, driving the flames back directly over the same course they had traveled. The flames destroyed the homestead of the Mason family, and the houses of H. Ireland, John Reamer, E. Scult and Reubeu Ireland, near Egg Harbor City. The occupants of the homes fled for their lives, taking with them in their hasty flight such articles of wearing apparel and valuables as they could get together at short notice. The homeless families sought shelter with their neighbors, only to hurry out again for further flight when the flames grew threateningly near. The Ryan Bros.' cranberry-bog back of Bakersville was destroyed. The inhabitants of Bakersville and Risleyville fled from their homes. The fire was still raging yesterday and it is feared that several more houses were consumed. CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES.

Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents. SOUTH SEAVILLE

Scarlet fever is prevalent in the vicin-

ity of Ocean View and this place. The disease has become so general that the public schools have closed. The malady exists in several families, and the five children of George A. Blank, teacher of

the school, are all down with it. CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE.

Rev. Horace G. McKean has tendered his resignation as pastor of the Baptist Church of this place, to take effect October 1st. The necessity for this step is deeply regretted by Mr. McKean, as it is also by the membership of the

church, but it was imperative owing to

the condition of the pastor's health, his physician advising he must leave the coast.

SEA ISLE CITY.

During the past winter an effort was made to induce the stockholders of the Seaville Camp Meeting Association to abandon their grounds at South Seaville and locate on Central avenue, this city, on a large tract of land near the beach. The members of the association have come to the conclusion that they are better off where they are now located and will continue to hold their annual

meetings there. OCEAN VIEW. Spring at last.

John Douglass, of Dennisville, was visiting here on Saturday. The farmers are very busy and every one is trying to get ahead of his neigh-

bor in the work.

The Epworth meeting was held at Miss Minnie Way’s on Tuesday evening. Easter services were held in the Methodist Church on Sunday afternoon and in the Baptist Church in the evening. They were both appropriate and inter-

esting.

Captain Frank Gandy left this week to take charge of his vessel at Phila-

delphia.

Captain William Coombs has been spending a few days at home, his vessel being at Millville. Theodore Wheaton and wife, of Millville, spent Sunday here. George Coleman, of the West Jersey Railroad, was home on Sunday.

CAPE MAY CITY. This county has three vacant Baptist pulpits--Ocean View, Dennisville and

this city.

Edward Sayre, of this city, has devised a revolving dredging apparatus

to catch clams in deep water. The

oyster sloop Restless will be fitted with

the appliance. The machine, it is said,

will scoop the clams out of their sandy

bed so quickly that it will make their

heads swim.

The prospects for Cape May the coming season are very bright. The improvements now going on and those

contemplated all give evidence of this. A carousel is to be built on the iron pier and new piling will be placed under it

to replace that broken by the ice the

past winter.

Real estate agents report more busi-

ness at this time than was done a month later last year. Even the city officials are anticipating an unusual season.

Councilman Stevens has introduced a

resolution looking to the improvement

of the streets, and the ordinance requiring a renumbering of the houses on

a systemic basis has now gone into effect. Matters socially here are very quiet, the only thing to break the tranquility of Holy Week being a mum social

given by Mrs. Daniel Forcer's Sundayschool class, of the Baptist Church. The affair was a pronounced success, and

was patronized by the elite of this re-

sort. Nicholas J. Griffin and his family are occupying their Ocean street cottage during the Easter holidays. J. J. McConnell and family are also occupying their Jackson street cottage. Mordecai Evans, of Philadelphia, has

rented the same cottage on Ocean street

occupied by him last season. Walter P. Douglass has rented a handsome Hughes street cottage for the coming season. TUCKAHOE. Rev. John G. Entrekin is going to move to Vineland. The people at large

are sorry to part with him. He was an

excellent minister, and it was through his instrumentality that the Baptist church at North Tuckahoe was built. He accomplished much good during his pastorate here. Japhet Corson, of this place, met with a serious accident on Tuesday of last week at the saw-mill of Richmond Hess. He fell and broke his leg. About a year

ago he dislocated his hip by a fall on

board a vessel, and was taken to an hospital, where he remained for some time. Easter Sunday passed off very quietly here. Rev. Mr. Hann preached his first sermon here on Sunday.

Prof. Swartz, of Vineland, gave an

illustrated art lecture in Centennial Hall Saturday evening. The funeral of Captain Elijah Wheaton took place on the 29th ult., and was largely attended. Services were held in the M. E. Church, conducted by Rev. David Stewart, of Camden, assisted by Rev. Jacob T. Price, of Dennisville. Deceased had been a member of the M. E. Church for thirty years.

Wharton Ogden and family, of Port Elizabeth, visited their daughter, Mrs. Benjamin H. Marshall, last week. Captain Theophilius Godfrey came home on Saturday to see his family. Rev. S. H. Hann and family arrived here on Thursday last. The members and friends of the church welcomed him to his new field of labor. Joseph Steelman and his friend, of Philadelphia, spent Easter with Mr.

S's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Steel-

man. Their other children--Mrs. Clara Ogden and family, of Tioga; Edward Rice and family, Cape May Court House --are also home. Ward Stille, Jr., visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ward S. Stille, during the Easter holidays. Miss Anne Champion came home from Pennington on Friday on a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Champion.

Mrs. Ray Champion, of English Creek,

is visiting her sister, Mrs. Sarah P. Ingersoll. The M. E. Mite Society gave an entertainment here last evening. They

also elected officers for the ensuing year.

Must Comply With The Conditions. Hebrew farm colonists of Woodbine who will not comply with the conditions by which they may hold their thirty-acre farms are being evicted. There are only eight or ten discontented families in all, including those dispos-

sessed of their holdings for non-compli-

ance. When the colony was first started it seems that the trustees of the Baron Hirsch fund permitted the farmers to

occupy the farms on rental contract. Now that the interests of the colonization have increased, they desire to get business down to a safe basis by requiring them to sign the usual leases. This

those who have been deprived of their

places would not do. The company has three private special officers at hand to enforce the orders from Justice Holmes'

Court, and, if necessary, to preserve

order.

The discontent does not reach the factory hands, who are making good

wages, while the farmers have not as

yet reaped any crops, and are not, there-

fore, so comfortably situated as the more fortunate operatives of the mills. They set up the claim, too, that their farms were an absolute gift. Royal Baking Powder
