Cape May county has some vigorous old people living within its borders. At Cape May Court House lives Seth Smith, eighty-four years of age, who can, even at his advanced age, do a bigger day's work than 75 per cent. of the young men. During the past winter he went into the woods with his axe when the thermometer was far below the freezing point and cut forty-five cords of wood. Nelson Garretson, of the same place, who has reached the eighty-third milestone in life, goes out in the bays shooting black ducks and other waterfowl. Tonging for clams is considered the severest kind of work, yet Jacob Horn, ninety years old, followed that occupation for a living until last October. Joseph Abrams, quite well advanced in years, and known far and wide as Cape May's "one-armed jailer," chopped over thirty cords of wood during the winter --a remarkable feat, when it is known that one of his arms is off near the

shoulder.

Mrs. Amy Corson, eighty-nine years old, walked one and one-half miles nearly every day last fall and stood in water twenty inches deep picking huckleberries for a living. Jacob Hand, eighty-three years old, has lived at Cape May Court House for seventy years continuously since 1823. He thinks nothing of walking four and five miles to his work. Mrs. Anna Herbel, living near Ocean View, is in her one hun-

dredth year and still keeps house for

her youngest son. There are a score of

persons in Cape May county whose ages range from eighty-five to one hundred years. Killed in a Runaway.

Miss Ella Malatesta, the 23-year-old

daughter of Mark Malatesta, the wellknown hotel proprietor of Atlantic City, was killed by jumping from a carriage during a runaway in Sunday, and Mrs. John Danbock, 2214 South Second street, Philadelphia, was so seriously injured as to render amputation of the left leg necessary. It was about 4 o'clock when Miss Malatesta and Mrs. Danbock left the

hotel in a brougham, from the stables

of Somers Doughty. No sooner were they seated than the horses took fright at a passing electric car, and dashed down North Carolina avenue at breakneck speed. Becoming frightened, both

the ladies jumped out. Miss Malatesta

struck her head against a lamp-post, and was unconscious when picked up, expiring twenty minutes afterward.

Mrs. Danbock leaped from the other

side of the carriage, the hind wheel passing over her left leg. Drs. T. K. Reed, Eugene Reed and Philip Marvel, of Atlantic City, and Dr. H. Skinner, Philadelphia, volunteered their services, and the injured women were carried into Haddon Hall. Miss Malatesta never recovered consciousness. There was scarcely a mark to show she was injured, save a cut above the eyes. Mark Malatesta, father of the dead girl, is nearly crazed with grief. Mrs. Danbock had been a guest at Malatesta's

Hotel since Friday, and her husband came down Sunday. Henry Free, of Philadelphia, who was

engaged to be married to Miss Malatesta, had placed the two ladies in the carriage and was a witness to the tragic affair. Professor J. R. Clemons, of Philadel-

phia, who was down for the day, and

who is a friend of the Malatesta's, saw the affair. "The team started down North Carolina avenue toward the beach," he said. "It was very evident that the driver had no control over

them. When opposite Haddon Hall

both Miss Malatesta and Mrs. Danbock

jumped. The former struck her head

against a lamp-post. Mrs. Danbock

jumped from the other side, and broke

her leg. The driver heard her scream,

and he, too, deserted his post and

jumped, alighting without injuring him-

self. In the meantime the horses had

run down the avenue toward the beach. In passing under a boardwalk the wheels caught in the pilings, which held the carriage. The horses broke away and dashed up the beach toward the inlet." In deference to a wish expressed not long ago by Miss Malatesta, she will be buried to-day from the residence of her sister, Mrs. James Carmack, South

Ninth street, Philadelphia.

"An ordinance concerning the removal and deposit of garbage, night soil, filth and refuse matter in the Borough of Ocean City," was introduced and passed its first and second reading by the Board of Health on the evening of April 25, 1893. WM. LAKE, Secy. ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS.

News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel."

BARGAINTOWN. There was a large congregation present at Zion M. E. Church on Sunday, 16th inst. Services at 3 p. m. every Sunday. Mrs. Frambes is recovering quite rapidly from her injury received by a fall some time ago. Dr. Corson spent a short time at home with his father, Rev. J. I. Corson, re-

cently.

EGG HARBOR CITY. At a special meeting of Council Saturday night the ordinance granting the

Atlantic County Agricultural Associa-

tion the right to operate the race track passed first reading by a vote of 5 to 3. Final action on the ordinance will be taken Saturday evening, May 6th. A special committee was appointed to suggest changes at this meeting. The anti-race track people hope to frustrate

the plans of the society by making the

license so high that it will practically mean a denial of the right to operate the track. ABSECON. Mrs. James Blackman is very sick.

Dame Rumor says there will be three weddings here in the near future.

Mrs. Lida Lewis is visiting friends in Baltimore.

The store occupied by Lewis Somers,

at Oceanville, caught fire one night last

week, but was extinguished before any

serious loss was sustained. Mrs. Young is occupying her cottage for a few days. Mr. Loomis is now comfortably settled in Mrs. Lee's cottage. Ezra Bolce is about to go housekeeping. STEELMANVILLE. Ellen Garrison, who resided with Evan Jeffries, of this place, for seven or eight years past, died suddenly of heart failure last week. She retired about 11 o'clock on the night of her death, and was stricken immediately after entering her room. Before medical aid could be summoned life was extinct. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon. Interment at at Palestine M. P. Cemetery. Henry Couch, of this place, will soon engage in the weaving business. MAY'S LANDING. L. W. Cramer is a candidate for Sheriff. But one of the nine persons indicted by the Atlantic county Grand Jury escaped conviction, and Judge Reed complimented Prosecutor Perry on the work of his first term. The following sentences were imposed: Caroline Zuber, atrocious assault, fined $100 and costs; Peter Adams and George Connor, assault and battery, each one year in State Prison; Swayne Hand, larceny, three

months; Harry Bowles, larceny, one

year; Isaac Cooper, atrocious assault, six months; Arthur Smith, breaking jail, sentence suspended. The land case of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad Company against Louis

Kuehnle, which occupied all last week,

was given to the jury Saturday morning after a lengthy charge from Supreme Justice Reed. The jury, after deliberating over two hours, returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Kuehnle, giving him the land to where his fence now stands. James Clark, a farmer, living about two miles from here, trapped a big bald

eagle, which had been stealing his ducks. While unloading logs a few days ago James Coleman was severely injured by a falling log. ATLANTIC CITY. A number of forged orders for clothing have turned up since the disappearance of Mary Miller, a domestic, who fled after robbing her employer, Mrs. Williams. Constable Edward G. Pettit has been paid the reward of $200 offered for the capture of Arthur Smith, who broke

out of the May's Landing jail. Isaac Strickland Saturday unearthed a human skeleton in a ditch in the meadows near Oyster Thoroughfare. The bones were bleached white and had evidently been in the water several years. The skeleton is supposed to be the remains of a fisherman. It is said that one of our baggagehandlers threw his wife out of bed while dreaming he was "smashing" a trunk. A petition, signed by a number of the largest property holders along the beach front, has been presented to City Council, asking that body to take lawful means to remove Young & McShea's big pier, which extends out from the boardwalk at the foot of Tennessee avenue. The property owners claim that allowing the pier to remain is a violation of the agreement made at the time of the signing of an easement deed granting the city a right of way along the beach front, and that, as the structure is an obstruction to a clear prospect of the ocean from the boardwalk, and as such was against the ordinance passed by Council that there should be no building on the outer side of the boardwalk, with the exception of open pavilions, it should be removed. The petition was referred to the Law Committee, who are to confer with the City Solicitor. ENGLISH CREEK. Abel English is home with his family after an absence at see since last September. Mr. Gilberson, father of Joseph Gilberson, is in from the West and is looking toward making this his home, if he can purchase some suitable place. Mr. Woolbert, one of our early truckers, is hurrying spring along by getting

out his early plants.

We understand the contract for carrying our mail has been awarded to a man living as far away as Steelmanville. We shall be sorry to part with our very worthy friend and brother, Somers Steelman, whose contract expires the last of June 1893. Mr. Steelman, so far as we know, did not miss a single mail all winter, notwithstanding the terrible roads. A number of brethren of the M. E. Church of May's Landing paid us a friendly call on Sunday morning, April 16th, at the church, attending the class meeting at 9.30 a. m. and the preaching service at 10.30. There were also some sisters from Estelville present. We all Mrs. Mary Scull visited her daughter in Bridgeton. Captain Walter Sooy was home for a few days. Mrs. Samuel Scull is very sick. Miss Ellen Garrison, sister of Lewis Garrison, died very suddenly Thursday night of heart disease. Miss Nora English is still in poor health. Mrs. Andrew Bergwond and her daughter and friend, Miss Thompson, of Estellville, spent Saturday and Sunday in this place.

Butterworth and family have oysters from Hampton Roads. Frank E. Adams received a consignment of oysters on Monday.

Weaver's farm. The body was taken

to New York for burial.

Vincent Lake's children spent Sun-

day at home. Mrs. Elmer Adams, of Port Republic, was the guest of Mrs. Vincent Lake on Sunday. Fred Boice has a pair of fine young horses. Atlantic City's Beach Front. Since Governor Werts returned home from Atlantic City it has been learned that his visit was not entirely one of pleasure as at the time it was asserted, but really was the fulfillment of a promise he made to the beach front owners in Jersey City when they were before him and the Riparian Commissioners protesting against the granting of riparian titles to portions of the beach applied for by the Ocean Beach Electric Railway, the corporation which has in

contemplation the construction of an

elevated pleasure railway in front of the boardwalk.

The size of the hostile delegation and the fact that it represented two-thirds

of the assessed value of the beach had the desired effect of making an impres-

sion and the promise was given that

the commissioners would visit Atlantic City before a decision was rendered. The Governor conducted a quiet investigation and examined the plans and viewed the route which was pointed out to him, listening with more than usual attention to all that was said in opposition to the road, and avoided answering all direct questions concerning the probably action of the commis-

sioners.

The gentlemen who had charge of the Governor, while they were disappointed in not receiving an intimation of what would likely be done in the matter, take much assurance from the interest he has shown and are of the opinion that the decision will be against the promoters of the road.

Hann officiated. CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE. The spring term of Court opened here Tuesday. The case of G. Eugene Corwin for shooting with intent to kill William Turner, who was a former coachman of ex-President Harrison, and of Viola Thompson, the 13-year-old girl who poisoned her grandfather, grandmother and aunt at Green Creek by placing arsenic in the coffee pot, are the principal criminal cases. The Grand Jury was composed of these gentlemen: E. C. Cole, foreman; James Leaming, William Bate, Charles Myers, William T. Bate, Firman Ludlam, Joseph H. Hanes, Daniel Cosgrove, Albert Adams, Lorenzo Smith, George Eldredge, A. Elton Holmes, Andrew Weeks, George Rummell, James Chester, H. P. Mickle, J. Swing Willis, Eli Barnett, Frank Heilman, John Kimball, John Halpin, Stephen Reeves, Richard C. Holmes. After a short charge the jury retired for deliberation and were in session Tuesday and Wednesday. The suit of R. C. Robinson vs. the Borough of Ocean City was settled without trial, the prosecutor getting judgment for the full amount of his claim. The six ejectment ruits against the Woodbine Improvement Company resulted in verdicts in favor of the company. Tavern licenses were granted Theodore F. Shute, Beesley's Point; E. Wesson, Stone Harbor, and George H. Bates, Steamboat Landing. The court refused F. F. Martin, Dennisville; J. W. DeHorsey, Highland Beach, and F. Bernheim, Woodbine. A washout occurred on the Five Mile

Beach branch of the West Jersey Rail-

road, Thursday night. The high tides

and severe northeast winds damaged Charles Mace's pavilion at Anglesea, carried away portions of the Holly

Beach bath houses, and wrecked the

verandas of the Coleman House at Holly Beach. A Trollery Line Coup. The rumor that Atlantic City was about to apply for an injunction to restrain the Camden and Atlantic Railroad Company from erecting poles below the Sea View Excursion House had

an electrical effect upon the head officers

of the road, who put to work a large force of laborers and completed the work within the city limits in a single night. The road is being extended from the Sea View Excursion House to Long-

port, the southernmost end of the island, and the intention of the city was to compel the company to get a legal right from Council to extend its system. Fisher has specials in cottages and lots this week. Call or write him. Now is the time for cottage owners in
