dered a number of selections, Mr. Lake addressed the assembled company, during which he reviewed the rapid ad-

building occupied the site where now stands hundreds of handsome cottages

and places of public entertainment--the transformation of an unsightly tract of land overgrown with bushes, briers and tangled undergrowth into a beautiful city possessed of all the modern scientific improvements which add to the comfort and convenience of its residents.

State in the interest of the Order of Good Templars, addressed a meeting held in the First M. E. Church, of this place, on Friday evening last. The in-

clement weather prevented many from turning out to hear this noted speaker, whose delivery and excellent command of language make her a most enter-

taining talker. Her fund of anecdote seemed inexhaustible. She held her

audience for over two hours, and was frequently interrupted by applause. At

the close of the exercises an invitation was extended to all those who desired

to do so to come forward and sign a petition for the organization of a lodge of the order in Ocean City. Bicyclists Should Know. Probably the only law which might be called passably creditable created by

Simpkins, who lives in that

part of this borough termed Risleyville, was on Wednesday night of last week summoned home by a neighbor and his

brother-in-law from where he had gone Monday morning to work for the week, clamming, to witness the result of a sad and painful accident--the death of his

two youngest children from drinking a

cup of medicine containing morphine,

which the family physician, Dr. Sooy,

had the evening previous left for the

mother, who was suffering from fever and pain, the result of lying in the draft

of an open window Sunday night. The

largest child, about five years old, was

sickly, and was at this time indisposed

and lying beside his mother. The youngest, aged about three, was prat-

tling about the room. The mother and

children were left by their grandmother in the daytime to the care of Mrs. Long, a neighbor, who attended them by going in now and then, as opportunity offered. Upon the return of the grandmother she missed the medicines, and thinking they had been spilled applied to the physician for more as the mother was

worse. Soon the children showed signs

of illness, and upon the arrival of the doctor they had fallen into a comatose condition and died in a few hours. An inquest was held by Coroner Farr, and

Mrs. Long and the grandmother, Mrs.

Simpkins, who were present and knew about the medicine left the previous evening, testified that Dr. Sooy had

given strict orders to keep the medicine out of the reach of the children, there being nine in the house. Dr. Sooy testified that he left two medicines, one

containing 1 1/2 grains of morphia, a white

powder and colorless when dissolved and in order to prevent mistaking it for water, had put a teaspoonful of compound spirits of lavender and twelve teaspoonfuls of water. The other contained ipecac and aromatic spirits of ammonia. A teaspoonful of the first was poisonous to a child. When he ar-

rived the medicine had been absorbed into the blood and had taken too much effect to be counteracted.

The supposition is that the children being left throughout the day without attention and being thirsty drank part or all of the medicine, and were thus

poisoned. The jury returned a verdict of death from poison administered by hands unknown.

They were buried in Salem Cemetery Saturday afternoon, after services at

the residence. It had attracted a large number of people. The mother is still very low from pneumonia. Hotel Arrivals. Arrivals at the Emmet are: J. B. Phleger, G. C. Phleger, of Cleveland, O;

lough, L A Howell, Samuel Allen and wife, Jordan Matthews and wife, Miss Estelle Ireland, John R Kendrick, wife and daughters, Mrs. M Flemming, J J Shannon, Miss Watson, M S Watson, Wm Willoughby and daughters, Robt Carson and son, Willard Roberts and wife, of Philadelphia; Miss Alga Reed, Miss Annie Currie, Dr L P Souder, A L Westcott, H D Turner and wife, S P

Reed, H Roeneke, of Atlantic City; F E Weitzel, of Seranton, Pa; R S Dia-

ment, of Alloway; Mrs Henry I Budd, of Mt Holly; A H Boyle, of Brooklyn. Dr. J. Howard Willets Dr. J. Howard Willets, of Cumber-

land county, New Jersey, one of the most widely known citizens of this

state, is now locating permanently here on account of his wife's health,

at the northwest corner of Seventh and Central avenue. Dr. Willets--or the "Colonel," as he is familiarly called--graduated at Jefferson Medical College in 1857, but at the outbreak of the war threw up

his practice, entered the army as Cap-

tain in the Seventh New Jersey and was soon promoted to the Colonelcy of the Twelfth New Jersey, a regiment composed of the flower and strength of the rural population of South Jersey, which had the record of large losses in battle, few prisoners, was never broken

and never retreated until the whole line was broken or retreated and never lost a color in action.

At the battle of Chancellorsville, Col-

onel Willets was totally disabled by a

severe wound in the face and the permanent loss of use of the left arm, being forced to withdraw from active

service, but was appointed President of a Board of Court-martial in Washing-

ton so serving until the close of the war.

In politics the Colonel has served two terms in the State Assembly and one

in the State Senate, always being member of important committees. As a Director of the West Jersey Railroad he secured the right of way for the Maurice River division and made the construction of that branch a possibility. He is a true sportsman and has traveled extensively through South America, West Indies, and our Southwest Territories, searching for new game to conquer. Ocean City secured a most desirable citizen in Dr. Willets and we trust the patronage which he may receive here, professionally, may induce his continued residence with us. A Telephone to Town.

A movement is on foot to have a system of telephone communication established between Ocean City, Cape May
