THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1893.

We shall be glad to receive items of

news and communications of interest to this community and our readers

All communications should be ac-

Jacob Reed, of Camden, who owns a

cottage at Fourteenth street and Asbury avenue, spent Saturday and Monday here. Messrs. Stonehill & Adams this week laid the foundation for Mrs. J. B. McCullough's cottage,Wesley avenue, near Seventh street. Henry Moore, of Haddonfield, has rented one of R. R. Sooy's Ocean avenue cottages and will occupy it during the coming summer. John A.

John H. Jeffers caught the first shad of the season on Monday. A. E. Cox, of the Wesley House, and his son, Rush E., became the purchasers. Messrs. Charles Matthews, Jr., and Jordan Matthews were here several days the past week looking after the improvements to their properties now under way.

A neat fence will be erected and a cottage added to the one at the corner of First street and Haven avenue. Messrs.

Elliott, Asbury avenue, north of Eighth street. On Saturday Mrs. Jacob Schuff received a telegram announcing the death of her brother, Charles Dinges. As far as we can learn, the deceased, who was employed as a track walker on the Philadelphia and Newton branch of the Reading Railroad, was struck and instantly killed by an express train on that road Friday night while in the discharge of his duty. Mrs. Schuff left on the first train for the late home of her brother. Mr. and Mrs. Schuff have our deepest sympathy in their affliction. The Woman's Christian Temperance Unions of Cape May county will hold their Spring Convention in Ocean City Wednesday afternoon and evening,

April 26th. Mrs. E. D. Hand, the

county president, will preside. Each of the unions will be represented be delegates. An interesting programme will be carried out in the afternoon session, and in the evening Mrs. Mary T. Lathrop, of Michigan, will address the meeting. Mrs. Lathrop has the reputation of being a star in the lecture field, and we bespeak for her a large audience of the people of this place. The Ladies' Aid Society sociable held

at the residence of R. Howard Thorn

on Thursday evening last added a fair amount of money to the society's bank account. The exercises, as usual on these occasions, consisted of music, both vocal and instrumental, and the performers fully sustained the reputation acquired by these sociables. The Misses Myers rendered excellent instrumental duetts. Russell Bartine recited in a creditable manner "Barbara Fritchie," and G. P. Moore read a selection. Lorine Campbell, a miss of tender years, recited admirably, when her age is considered.

Hunter Thomas favored the audience

with two recitations. The refreshments served consisted of fruits, etc., and were served in a novel manner. The host and hostess were indefatigable in their efforts to make the meeting one of enjoyment to those present. FOR RENT.--House containing nine rooms and attic, situated corner of Fourth and Ocean Ave. Furnished. Apply to Samuel Beebee, 2602 Frankford Ave., Phila. Now is the time for cottage owners in Ocean City to have their cesspools cleaned. It is better to have it done

City, N. J., will receive prompt atten-

tion. Terms cash. Largest stock of wall paper and decorations in South Jersey at B. R. Smith's, Sixth and Asbury, at Philada. prices.

The Knights Feasted. Another of those occasions which tend to exhibit the good feeling existing in a community occurred on Monday evening, when the wives of the members of Ocean City Lodge, N. 66, K. of P., tendered a surprise to the Knights and a number of invited guests in the form of a luncheon compose of fruits and ice cream. Immediately after the adjournment of the Lodge, the ladies took possession of the Lodge room and quickly transformed it into a banqueting hall. The table extended the entire length of the room, and upon it in profusion were

spread the delicacies which were pre-

pared for the feast.

About one hundred persons were present, and the sociability displayed was one of the prominent features of the gathering. The late hour at which the feasting commenced (9:30) was occasioned by the inability of a number of invited guests to arrive earlier, owing to a meeting of the M. E. Quarterly

Conference held in the church at this place, and also a special meeting of Council. The signing of the Doxology

preceded the invoking of a blessing by Rev. G. L. Dobbins, of Red Bank, after which the company gave themselves up to the pleasures of the evening. When the table had been cleared and quiet restored, the assemblage was addressed by Rev. Dobbins, who spoke upon the motto of order, selecting "Friendship" as his topic. Rev. W. A. Massey followed, and during his remarks recalled the occasion when when the members of this Lodge presented the church over which he presides with a handsome bell. Rev. E. B. Lake, a member of the Lodge, was called upon and responded briefly, interlarding his remarks with humor. William Lake, a visiting Knight, also spoke a few words of congratulation and encouragement. Charles Frambes, a Knight from Phil Kearney Lodge, Smith's Landing, was called upon, but requested to be excused from speaking. R. Howard Thorn said that as one representative of the home Lodge had spoken he thought that quite sufficient. The last called was J. M. White, and after a rising vote of thanks had been tendered the ladies the festivities closed and the hall was soon deserted. The ladies of Ocean City are noted for the thoroughness with which they carry out enterprises undertaken by them, and those having the arrangements in charge Monday night were no exception to the rule. The supply of good things was greatly in excess of the demand, and the orders went forth that each individual was requested and expected to dispose of all set before them, and distended overcoat pockets and packages bore mute evidence that the wishes of the ladies had been honored. Barring the lateness of the hour of adjournment, the evening was well spent and enjoyed in the highest degree.

Our Borough Fathers Meet.

The regular monthly meeting of Coun-

cil was held on Friday evening, Mayor Moore in the chair, with Councilmen Corson, Canfield, Hand and Steelman present.

After the reading and adoption of the minutes of the previous meeting, bills

amounting to $104.25 were read and ordered paid. It was ordered that the Surveyor be notified to place the corner-stones in their proper location at once, and that Councilmen Hand and Canfield assist him. The Mayor and Clerk were empowered

to negotiate with the Vineland National

Bank for a loan of $1624.48, and that the

proceeds be used to cancel the claims of

the Pennsylvania Globe Gas Light Company. On motion Council agreed to rent Steelman's Hall for Council purposes

for the ensuing year at an annual rental of $40. Councilmen Corson, Steelman and Hand were appointed a committee to act with a committee from the Board of Health to choose a place to deposit the garbage during the coming season. The Mayor and Clerk were instructed to make deed to F. Schmitt for lots

bought in at the tax sale. Council agreed to take ten extra fire

plugs from the water company in order

to provide fire protection to that por-

tion of the town lying between Thir-

teen and Seventeenth streets, Fourth and First streets.

The sewerage ordinance was then taken up for first reading. It was accepted on first reading, ordered to second reading and accepted, after which final action was deferred. A communication from Mrs. Rush in reference to a subscription by Council in aid of the Ocean City Guide Book and Directory, which the lady is compiling, was read, but no action taken.

Adjourned to meet on the 17th.

An adjourned meeting of Council was held on Monday evening. Councilmen Corson, Canfield, Hand and Steelman were present. In the absence of the Mayor, Councilman Corson was chosen chairman pro tem. The minutes of

Friday evening were read and approved.

Council reconsidered their action of

Friday evening in reference to negotiating note in Vineland Bank, increasing the amount to $2000. The sewer ordinance was placed back on second reading. After numerous amendments the ordinance was read and accepted and passed to the third. It was then taken up for the final reading and passed unanimously. On motion of Councilman Hand the ordinance was ordered published in the SENTINEL the requisite number of times. Adjourned until Friday, 29th inst. Paper hanging, decorating, painting,

graining and sign writing. All work

guaranteed at Smith's, 6th and Asbury. Parties contemplating having their houses moved to new locations, or elevated and rebuilt will save money by corresponding with Abel D. Scull, builder

City Council at a meeting on Wednesday night decided to fix the license fee at $250 per annum, and to limit the number of licenses. The race-track ordinance, granting the Atlantic county Agricultural Society the privilege to build and operate a race track in the city limits was introduced, and a petition, signed by over one hundred voters, asking for the passage of the ordinance, was also presented. The Mayor was authorized to call a citizens' meeting in order that a free expression of the sentiment of the people on the question might be heard. A large number of citizens turned out Saturday evening to vote on the proposed race course question. The racetrack men had things their own way from the very beginning, their first move being to take the chair from Mayor Schuckart, who is against licensing the race track and placing Coroner George F. Breder, who is independent in the matter, in the chair. After bitter debates between the race-track men and those opposed the resolution was adopted by forty-eight majority, requesting Council to grant the race course license. A destructive fire occurred on Wednesday night of last week, which destroyed four buildings on Cincinnati avenue, causing a loss of over $3000. The fire originated through a defective flue in the house owned by Joseph Mueller and occupied by Richard Schiller. The flames spread to the adjoining houses of John Manns, Joseph Mueller's

bakery and Mrs. Paul Brehm's house. All of the burned buildings were insured. PLEASANTVILLE. John Unsworth visited Philadelphia last week.

ATLANTIC CITY.

Mrs. Henry Heckler fell down stairs Saturday and broke her wrist. George Thompson won the horse and Richard Yates the ticket to the World's Fair at the fair of the Morris Guards. Major T. A. Byrnes, Indian Agent under Cleveland's former administration, has been indorsed for his old place by the City Democratic Executive Committee. Somewhat of a sensation was occasioned here Saturday afternoon when it became known that Sheriff Lacy had closed the doors of the Mansion House, one of the largest hotels in the city,

which was well filled with guests. It

was brought about through the action of David Giltenan, of Philadelphia, who sued upon a bond of $10,000. Last fall Charles McGlade, the proprietor, finding himself financially embarrassed, executed a mortgage to Samuel D. Hoff-

man, as trustee, for the equal benefit of all his creditors. In this agreement Mr. Giltenan was included. The execution upon which present proceedings are based, is under a bond and warrant of attorney, given several years ago, and upon which judgment has been entered. There will be a meeting of Mr. McGlade's creditors, and arrangements will be made to forestall the satisfying of the bond by sale. A distinguished company of State officials, with Governor George T. Werts at their head, arrived here Saturday afternoon in a private car over the Reading road, Manager Robert S. Davis, of the Atlantic City Railroad, having charge of the party. Besides his Excellency there were in party State Treasurer George R. Gray, Comptroller William C. Heppenheimer, State Commissioner of Banking George S. Duryca, General B. W. Spencer, president of the State Board of Assessors, and his associates, F. H. Wismer, Oliver Kelley, Anthony Keiser and John S. Vancleet. The party registered at the Hotel Traymore and remained until Monday. May Miller, 20 years old, a domestic employed by Magistrate Williams, left Friday with a valise full of clothing and considerable money belonging to her employer. Two Atlantic City boatmen, Lemuel Conover and Samuel Mills, picked up on the beach Friday a piece of wreckage, about six feet wide and twenty feet long, having fastened to it a hatch, a mattress and a pillow. There was nothing to identify the vessel to which it

belonged.

The managers of the Children’s Seashore House expect the coming season to be one of the largest in its history, and funds are urgently needed. A protest was presented by ex-Judge Pancoast, representing a number of property owners, to Levi C. Albertson, Elias Wright and George Hayday, Sr., commissioners appointed to condemn land on the beach for street purposes between Caspian and Albany avenue. His objection was that the commissioners failed to plainly mark out the lines of the proposed street. The commissioners adjourned until April 29th to consider the matter. DOWN IN OLD MEXICO.

Half the People There Have Small-pox--The Abundance of Luscious Fruit. R. W. Edwards, Esq., son of Dr. Charles E. Edwards, of Haddonfield, and well known as a summer resident of this place, for the past three weeks has been basking in the sunshine of Mexico, taking note of its histrionic old cities and proverbially pretty Spanish maidens. Mr. Edwards is a writer of

no mean ability, as a number of his

more recent productions in the magazines attest. It is his intention of writing a short history of his last South American trip, including therein his visit to the City of the Incas in Peru, and in sandwiching here and there a chapter of romance and adventure. While riding over the hills of Peru on a day's horseback journey to the ruins of the Inca's city, Mr. Edwards' burro gave out, and his companions, who were only of a few hours' acquaintance, rode on and left him. No sooner had they disappeared than a speck appeared in the distance which turned out to be a member of the Peruvian banditti, ela-

borately equipped, on a powerful white horse and armed to the teeth. Mr. Edwards drew his pistol and placing his arm behind him proferred the fellow $300 in gold for his horse, as stated his mount having given out leaving him alone in the heart of a barren waste with no better companion than the murderous half-breed. Mr. Edwards, with his weapon close to the man's head, made him dismount, threw the gold at his feet, and mounting the white charger rode on. In his letter from Mexico, never meant for publication, but none the less worthy, Mr. Edwards says: "I am in a hotel that was the palace of the Emperor Iturbide in 1820. It is as big as four continental hotels, of heavy stone, curiously and artistically carved, and my room is as big as our old barn at Port Elizabeth, and as dreary. "This is a wonderful city; so many people in it, and really more picturesque than South America. I never saw so many ugly women as here. Mexico is way below South America in that line. I stopped a few days in two other cities before reaching here, but they were miserable places, scourged by typhus fever. "This city has an epidemic of it also, forty to fifty dying a day of that alone. If they had it in Philadelphia that bad water business would be stopped. I am in constant dread of it, and smallpox is very bad. It really seems as if half the people here have had the smallpox at some time. So beneath the flowers, and music, and rush of coaches, and the theatre, we have these two scourges eating up the people by the thousands. "The city and country is always in the highest form of cultivation; the most beautiful flowers in such abundance as to have no value, and fruits of all kinds are most abundant. I enjoy slipping a cent's worth of sugar cane under my coat and sitting down in my room and eating it like a Louisiana darkey. It is very sweet and refreshing. Double Track to the Sea. Philadelphians are to have the advantage of a second double track railroad to the sea. With part of the money obtained by an increase of capital stock the West Jersey Railroad will build a second track at points where a second track does not exist between Camden and Cape May. Last week a party of West Jersey officials inspected the road with this improvement in view. Among the gentlemen who went down to Cape May were R. Stretch, J. H. Nichols, H. L. Husted, W. Rickard, C. M. Williams, J. C. Fear, H. W. Munson, J. B. Fegg, A. Willets, John Gryner and S. K. Stubbs. Royal Baking Powder. Absolutely Pure A cream of tartar baking powder.
