THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1893. Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J., as second-class mail matter. THE SUMMER OUTING. An outing at this time is particularly helpful to mind and body. Clear fresh breezes are wonderfully invigorating. They incite a healthy circulation of the blood, give a new relish to food, make the footstep lighter, the spirit more buoyant, promote refreshing sleep and give zest to life. Pure air, pure water, light and nourishing food, added to moderate exercise and respite from workaday cares, tone the system and fortify it against ills from within and without. The mountain, the ocean, the shore, the lake, the valley, the quite country nook--each has its charm to please and to comfort. In the sultry days, when the fiery pavements reflect the heat of the sun, and the atmosphere is charged with disagreeable and enfeebling smells, a week away from town is more than a pleasant experience--it is almost a medical necessity. Women and children are particularly helped by an outing. City life is unusually severe upon them in the summer, and a transfer to the seashore or the country makes life the more worth living. Pleasure and the pursuit of health may be made to go hand-in-hand. There are many persons who lose much of the benefit of their vacation by acting upon the erroneous idea that they must be extraordinarily active, see everything that is too be seen, do the most traveling possible in a given time. Such persons make a habit of curtailing the hours of sleep in an effort to make the day longer, tramp wearsome distances in the broiling sun, dance in every set at the "hops," and commit other extravagances as foolish as they are hurtful. To be of substantial benefit one's vacation should be treated rationally. Overwork or brain fog at home is not to be cured by reckless ex-

ercise or immoderate eating abroad. Laziness is often the best of medicine.

Common sense should guide one in

respect to his outings--the when, the where, the how of it. There is such a variety of resorts, such an abundance from which to make choice, that all

that gives pause is the embarrassment

of multiplicity. Naturally those who have the means may enjoy themselves to the fullest, prolong their respite from

the enervation of the dog days in a populous city, enjoy all the conveniences of fine hotels and luxurious living, but it is a mistake to suppose that only people of wealth can afford an outing. There are countless seaside cottages and country farms where board may be had inexpensively, and a stay of only three or four days may be made remunera-

tive from the standpoint of a supply of vitality.

It is an encouraging sign that year by year interest in the summer outing is growing. If the American habit is nervous and rapid-paced, there is an antidote in the vacation respite. There are charms in the fishing expedition, the canoeing trip, the leisurely traveling tour, that are to be felt and not to be described. One must feel the tug of the fish on the line, see the flash of the paddle, look into the depths of the swirling waters, be face to face with nature, to appreciate the delights of summer

holidays in the open.

THE TROLLEY ROAD. The Ocean City Electric Railway ran its first cars Monday and the occasion proved a gala one for the young people. No fare was charged, and all who wished to ride were at liberty to do so. The start was made early in the afternoon, one car being placed on the road and running on Wesley avenue, the other part of the road not yet being complete. The car was filled all afternoon with passengers, who enjoyed exceedingly the novel ride. Every one felt that he should be "in it," and all who could leave their business ran down and got a free ride. The small boy particularly was out in force, and he got on early in the afternoon and stayed there, monopolizing the choice seats and uttering hurrahs for the trolley line.

In the evening the cars were able to

run over the entire road, but the stormy weather caused very few to venture out in quest of a free ride. The cars run very smoothly without jar or jerk, and make quick time. Two are running now, but there will be four on the road before many days. President Lake, in speaking of the road, said the company had made strenuous efforts to obtain new cars, but owing to the short time, were unable to have them built. They were therefore compelled to purchase them from a Boston railway company. No other small town has a better trolley than Ocean City, and the best material and workmanship is found

throughout. No parsimonious polley was pursued in the construction of the road, and the electricians who have in-

spected it unite in saying it is as perfect as it can be made. The greatest care and skill have been used in erecting the wires, and there is not the slightest danger of a wire falling. Stout, selected poles have been used, and the highest grade of heavy copper wire. The feed wires will all be buried and there can therefore be no chance for horses' or pedestrians' feet to come in contact with them. The company feel justly proud of their enterprise.

A Bather's Peril.

About 11 o'clock Tuesday morning,

when the bathing was at its height, those in the vicinity of Eighth street were horrified to see a man several hundred yards out in the sea throw up his hands and shout for help. There was a momentary pause, and then two gallant young men bravely went to the rescue, but they almost immediately saw the man sink. Then three other men started. All swam hard and the man soon again appeared on the surface, but the ride was out and the choppy sea carried him farther and farther away, the waves continually washing over his head, and a second time he went down. The rescuers renewed their efforts and when the victim came up the second time, the two young men were close by. They were weak and panting, but did the best they could to bring the man in. They were not making much progress when the other three came up, and one gentleman, who was heavy and muscular, placed the man on his back and seizing him by the shoulders pushed him in safely, when he was sent home. A representative of the SENTINEL learned that the unfortunate man was John M. Greer, of Greer & Thompson, dealers in lace curtains, etc., 1018 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, and called upon him at his mother's cottage, 814 Ocean avenue. In referring to the matter Mr. Greer said: "It occurred right out in front of the cottage, and I was about a square out at the time. I had been in the water ten or fifteen minutes when I was suddenly seized with a most violent and excruciating cramp in my left leg, extending from the ankle up, and I became perfectly helpless. I did not lose my presence of mind, but shouted vociferously at the top of my voice. The beach was crowded with bathers, and presently two young men followed by three others came out. I had sank twice when the two young men reached me. One imprudently seized me by the arm, and becoming alarmed, I struck him with my fist, which made him release his hold; then the three others got to me, and one strong fellow pushed me in. I am known amongst my friends as a good swimmer, and have frequently gone out fully a mile, or even a mile and a half. I never was attacked with cramps before. I am sincerly thankful to the five gentlemen whose heroic efforts saved my life, and would like to know who they are.

"I had just come down on Saturday

to spend a few days with my mother, and hardly looked for such an adventure as this. It was a serious shock to my mother, who will probably not recover from it for several days." The Electric Railroad. The electric railroad, which was formally placed in operation of Tuesday, is probably the greatest enterprise yet undertaken in Ocean City. The road has been built in the short space

of eight weeks, and is an example of the energy of the men at its head. It

commences at the steamboat landing

and runs along the bay front to First

street, along First street to Wesley ave-

nue, and down Wesley avenue to the Excursion House, where it turns into

Eleventh street, and then along Central avenue to the terminus at Sixteenth street, making a distance of over two miles. The road is built on heavy railroad ties, and laid with steel girder rails

made by the Cambria Iron Works, of

Johnstown, Pa., and weighing fortyfive pounds to the yard. The power house is located on West avenue, near Tenth street, and is equipped with two 80-horse power generators, one of the Westinghouse system, and the other of the Ball pattern. William Smethurst

will be the electrician in charge.

The cars, two in number, which are of the open pattern, are capable of seating fifty passengers. They are handsomely decorated in green and yellow and fitted with motors of the Thomp-son-Houston system. With this system the greatest speed can be attained, and the car is always under the control of the operator. Experienced motor-

men will be secured from other roads,

while Harry Lake and Charles Lake will act as conductors. The fare will be five cents and the road will continue in operation only during the season.

The cars will run every fifteen minutes.

The road has cost about $65,000, and is owned by the Ocean City Electric Railroad Co., of which E. B. Lake is president, H. B. Adams, secretary, and G. E. Falen, treasurer. An Efficient Officer. H. L. Conver, Ocean City's Marshal,

is a particularly efficient officer, and this town feels quite safe under his pro-

tection. Mr. Conver is a brave and fearless man, and spent five years in the Federal army. During the Geronimo campaign in the southwest in 1885-86,

he suffered privation and hardships that

make an ordinary man shudder to think of. The wily Indian Chief's lawless band were a savage and murderous set, and devoid of all mercy toward their captives, torturing them with relentless cruelty. Frequently the soldiers had to lie concealed in the woods for days at a time without food, subject to the fearful exposure of the variable weather in those regions. Several years ago he captured two burglars who had planned a robbery in

Ocean City, and the number of pro-

fessional thieves whom he has warded

off is very large. The crooks simply quit the town when they learn he is here. During his service in the army he committed many acts of bravery, and was held in the highest esteem by

his officers. He came to Ocean City in 1888, and has been marshal each year since 1890, when Maria Moore held the office. Largest stock of wall paper and decorations in South Jersey at B. R. Smith's, Sixth and Asbury, at Philada. prices.

MRS. LIPPINCOTT AGAIN.

After Having been Tried Seven Times in this State and Acquitted, She Will Have to Face a Philadelphia Court. One of the many alleged forgeries of Mrs. Julia C. Lippincott, formerly proprietress of Haddon Hall, Atlantic City, resulted Thursday in placing her in Moyamensing Prison, and brought her for the first time within the jurisdiction of a Pennsylvania Court. The charge in this case, which was heard by Magistrate Pole, was forging the name of her foster-sister, Mary A. Haines, to a mortgage on which $8000 was advanced by the United Security Life Insurance and Trust Company, of Philadelphia, and uttering the mortgage in Pennsylvania. At the hearing, Mrs. Lippincott was defended by R. O. Moon and ex-Judge Carrow, of Camden, while J. C. Bell and Joseph L. Caven conducted the prosecution. In 1887, Mrs. Lippincott opened negotiations with the Atlantic City agent of the United Security Company. A part of their business is to advance a portion of the amount called for by any life insurance policy when security is furnished, and Mrs. Lippincott, holding a policy for $14,000, gave the mortgage as the security. It was for $8000 on some property owned [by] Mary A. Haines, at Medford, this State, and the money was duly paid to her, the Real Estate Title and Trust Company insuring the title to the property and the mortgage. Much evidence in the handwriting of Mary. A. Haines was produced to show forgery by comparison with the signature on the mortgage. The witnesses were sharply cross-examined by counsel for the prisoner, whose defense, however, was the expiration of the statute of limitation. The signature resembled the handwriting of Mrs. Haines very closely, except in the formation of the capital letter "M" in Mary. Mrs. Haines denied signing the mortgage, and disclaims connection with the entire correspondence relat-

ing to the matter, which passed be-

tween Mrs. Lippincott and the company, and which was produced and read. She also denied having received any of the $8000. When both sides had closed, Magistrate Pole held that the statute of limitation applies only to residents of this State, and as a non-resident he held Mrs. Lippincott in $2000 bail for court. She could not secure the necessary bonds, and went to prison. Mrs. Lippincott has already been tried seven times on charges of forgery --five times in Camden and twice in Atlantic county, but has so far managed to escape punishment. Her alleged forgeries amount to over $100,000. The New Cape May Line. The Pennsylvania Railroad on Friday formally turned over the possession of the Philadelphia and Seashore Railroad to the recent purchasers, composed of a syndicate of capitalists, of whom Logan M. Bullitt is the head. The name of the road will be changed to the Philadelphia, Sea Isle and Cape May, and the work of putting it at once into active operation to Sea Isle City will be begun. The road will be officered by the following persons: Thos. Robb, president; Logan M. Bullitt, vice president and general manager; Thomas H. Wilson, secretary; Thos. Robb, John H. Wheeler, E. A. Tennis, James M. E. Hildreth, James E. Taylor, Dr. Marcy, Dr. James McCray, Morris Boney and Thomas E. Ludlam, directors. Several other names will be added to the directory. James E. Taylor will at once assume the acting management of the road, and W. Grant Wilson, a former superintendent, will act in a similar capacity under the new management, and will prepare the schedules and arrange for the connection with the Reading at Winslow Junction. The road will be formally opened for travel to Sea Isle City not later than July 15 and probably earlier. Contractor Tennis, with a force of 90 men, has been at work since Monday putting the road in condition from Petersburg to Sea Isle City. The New Schedule. The new schedule which went into effect on the West Jersey Railroad on Saturday, appearing elsewhere in our columns, carries with it some important changes of fare. The rate between Philadelphia and Ocean City will be $1.55 for the single trip, and $2.00 for the excursion. Townsend's Inlet and Avalon will be the same as Ocean City, as heretofore. The Atlantic City and Somers' Point rates will be increased to $1.25 for the single trip and $1.75 excursion. While the excursion tickets to both these resorts had been $1.50, the single trip to Somers' Point was twelve cents more than Atlantic City, being $1.12. This difference will no longer exist. The single trip fare to Cape May and Wildwood from Philadelphia remain the same, $1.75; but the excursion rate will hereafter be $2.25 to each of these places. To a representative of the SENTINEL who called at the passenger department of the Pennsylvania Railroad, it was stated that the cause of the advance in rates was due to the great expense of the service, which had been gradually improved, as well as the roadbed, until now some of the fastest trains in the country are run over the road, and the best accommodation afforded. Little or no profit has heretofore accrued to the company, and the additional quarter charged will not be felt by the people who visit the shore. The company has treated the public liberally in the past, and the number of trains will continue to be increased as the travel demands it.

Refused to Pay His Fare.

On Sunday last a man whose name

could not be learned bought an excursion ticket for Longport via the steamer Golden Gate, and proceeded to the wharf about 7 o'clock in an intoxicated condition. There was some delay in the arrival of the boat, and the man boarded the Ocean City, of the Atlantic Coast Steamship Co.'s line. He tendered his return coupon, which was not accepted, and twenty-five cents fare demanded. This he declined to pay, declaring it was an extortion; the Captain, however, insisted, and for awhile it looked as though there was going to be trouble. The man was threatened to be thrown overboard, and the boat accordingly stopped in the middle of the bay; but no efforts were made to eject him, and as the man did not care to get out and walk he stuck to his seat. He was then told that he would be arrested on landing and the boat proceeded on its way. On arriving at Ocean City the man made his escape.

A Novel Amusement.

Charles Cross' new elevated bicycle railway is a novelty in the amusement world, and when it is running in a few days will create a sensation, and be a drawing card for Ocean City. The railway proper consists of parallel steel rails, laid on heavy timbers elevated about eighteen feet from the surface and supported by strong posts under the centre. The bicycles are suspended from pulleys running on the rails and protected from "jumping" by similar pulleys beneath. The rider occupies a seat close to the ground, and propels

the machine by operating a treadle

with his feet, like an ordinary bicycle. Enormous speed can be attained in this way and the effect is most exhilarating. There will be no danger from collisions, as the bicycles will be provided with an automatic brake, which can be quickly applied, arresting the motion almost instantly; besides which, both ends will have a powerful iron spring bumper, which will reduce to a minimum the force of any chance shock. The track is one eighth of a mile long and a round trip will be made in about two minutes. Mr. Cross will begin with six bicycles, but expects to be compelled to increase this number. Grounded on the Bar. The sloop yacht Elfrida, of Camden, ran on the bar about 7.30 Saturday evening, and all efforts to float it have been unavailing. The yacht left Camden Friday evening with Dr. C. P. Tuttle, sailing master, Mr. Du Bois, A. B. Dewees, C. Street and William Shelley, and reached Reedy Island at 9 o'clock. They sailed in the morning, and passing the Breakwater at 2 p. m., had a pleasant voyage until off Anglesea, when the yawl was dashed to pieces. No further accident was encountered until close to Ocean City, when the high seas carried away the steering apparatus and left them at the mercy of the waves. After casting about for some time they were finally thrown upon the bar, from where the crew swam in. It was found impossible to float the craft at flood tide.

The Liberty Bell.

Long ago, long ago, This cracked bell, do you know, Rang out that our land was free,

And the English soon should see

That we never would be slaves To a King across the waves, So I rung as I swung Long ago! Long ago, long ago, I proclaimed, high and low, Every victory we won, And at last, when war was done, I rang out the news of peace, I rang out that war should cease, And I rung as I swung, Long ago! Long, long ago I tolled slow, I tolled low, For the Great Man of the nation, First to fill its highest station; And when every "signer" died I announced it, far and wide, Tolling low, tolling slow, Long ago! Long ago, long ago, I rung high, I rung low, For these savers of our land, But when of that noble band None were left, then I rung Never more, and my tongue Ceased to speak, high or low, Long ago! Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, July 3, 1893. Landsdowne the lovely. This is the home of it--of the genuine, sikily soft, daintily dyed, simon pure Lansdowne. Most exquisitely beautiful of all the Silk-and-Wool sisterhood; and all the welcomer because it is such a triumph for Philadelphia enterprise and art. Lansdowne the light Lansdowne the cool Lansdowne the dust-proof. For the traveling dress, for the stay-at-home dress, for any service where finest of Silk and finest of Wool joined by genius and perfectly tinted can be wisely used. Fifty fascinating colors. Width 40 in., price $1.25. What a protest there would have been could those finest French Challis, just out of the cases, have only found words. Of the Challis blood royal, packed as became their rank, treated with deference all the way over, got through the Custom House with flattering ceremony. And then ticketed 37½c! Sixty cents at the very least was their expectation. Navy blue Serge, indigo blue Serge. Spatter water on it, pour water on it, soak it, sop it--still a bright, clear indigo blue. And the fun of it is that the cost is no more than that of the sorts that fade so provokingly.

36 in. Indigo blue Serge, 40c.

54 in. Indigo blue Serge, $1.50. And maybe a dozen grades between. Take this one at 75c; plump 5 in., hard twisted threads, a bang up good $1 quality. No danger that you'll skip the Cottons, they're too lovely--and lowly priced to permit it. Any of them are as winsome at all points as you ever saw their like. Let ten stand for a hundred. 12½c Black Lawns (colored figures) 10c.

12½c Figured Dress Cambrics, 10c.

Wash and wash a Linen Lawn; prettier, if anything. About the coolest, airiest, crispest of Dress Stuffs, and

almost the neatest. Two of the finest qualities imported are

at 25 and 30c--you'd expect them to be 33 and 37½c. Maybe a hundred styles best French Sateens, this season's styles, that you may pick a 10-yard dress pattern from for $1.80--in figures only. Think of it, 18c a yard for goods that the makers never dreamed would be sold under 35c! All through the Cotton camp there are spots just as interesting--quarter, third or half even under original prices. And this not on bad lots or off colorings, but on some of the choicest things of the season. If there's a possibility of littling a price anywhere the chance is sure to come here--and it isn't allowed to slip by. Navy blue and black Storm Serges. Pick of the best mill work and of the best dyeing. That counts more than you may suspect--particularly the dyeing. Indigo blue is the clinging, unchanging kind. These Serges are all Indigo blue. 50 in. Serges at 75c. 54 in. Serges at $1, $1.25, $1.50. Some sort of blue in the Hopsacking, that royally rough-and-ready newcomer.

Plenty here. Trowsers, $1.25 to $3. Short Trouser Suits for larger boys, 4 to 15 years, at $1.75 and $2.75. Cassimere Suits, same sizes, $2.50, $3, $3.50 and more. JOHN WANAMAKER. HENRY A. W.
