OCEAN CITY SENTINEL.

THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1893.

We shall be glad to receive items of news and communications of interest to this community and our readers everywhere.

All communications should be ac-

companied with the full name and address of the writer, not necessarily for

publication, but a guarantee of good faith.

LOCAL NEWS. The ocean looks grand.

Fishing parties are all the rage. The Inlet is dotted with sails. Crowds inspect the trolley road. The streets are fairly alive with people. Heavy mails have now begun to arrive. Many bicycles are beginning to ap-

pear on the streets.

James E. Lake is now occupying his

cottage at the pier.

Many rare shells are now to be found

on the upper beach.

Applications for board are pouring in upon the hotel keepers. An immense amount of fireworks has been sold in Ocean City. An enormous number of small row boats are found in Ocean City. Saturday night was the biggest of the season at the Excursion House. Our Marshal is uniformed this season, and looks rather handsome. Every visitor to Ocean City remarks the orderly character of our crowds. The excursion train made its first run on Saturday. On Sundays it is "solid" from Philadelphia. Bicycles are occasionally seen on the

boardwalk. They should be excluded

from that promenade. T. B. Cross has had his entire place handsomely repainted, and it now presents a fine appearance. The heavens last evening were a continuous sheet of flame, and the scene on the sea was grand and terrible. Visitors are quick to note the geniality of our efficient station agent, Mr. Edwards. He is more than usually polite and accommodating. The Auditorium will open on Sunday next, when Rev. John S. Heisler, of Central M. E. Church, Bridgeton, will preach morning and evening. A magnificent view can be obtained from the observatory on top of Charles Cross' house, and he takes great pleasure in showing the sights to visitors. Two more cottages are about to be erected. C. H. Crosby, of Morton, Delaware county, Pa., and Mr. Dobbins, of Palmyra, will each begin operations next week. The initial number of Cape May's

new paper, Society Foam, was issued

yesterday afternoon. It is published by Messrs. Charles S. Stevens and Harry M. Kennedy for the summer season. Mrs. Bridgewater, wife of W. E. Bridgewater, of Philadelphia, a summer resident and extensive property owner here, died on Sunday last at her home in Manayunk. The funeral will take place to-morrow. Mrs. J. T. Price's popular Ocean City House is to be enlarged. Work has been commenced on an addition to the third story, which will be a new room over the double kitchen, and will afford increased accommodations. A rather large congregation was present at the M. E. Church Sunday morning, when Rev. W. A. Massey preached an eloquent and inspiring sermon from Luke xxiii:33.--"And when they were come to Calvary there they crucified him." Everton Corson's team ran into a

trolley wire at Ninth and Asbury

which the workmen had stretched across the street, almost capsizing the construction wagon. He had a similar experience several weeks ago at Ninth and Wesley. The advertisers represented in our

columns are live business men who

manifest their interest in the city's development by encouraging every enterprise which brings business to our tradespeople. For every dollar invested in printer's ink they receive large returns in increased trade. It is a well known fact that newspaper people as a rule, are a very observing class, and quick to perceive the merits of a place. It is flattering to know that Mrs. Rutter, who has achieved some prominence as a correspondent, gives Ocean City the honor of being the most promising of all the seaside resorts, and has opened a cottage on Asbury avenue. Pushing the Work.

The reconstruction of Adams' merry-

go-round has been vigorously pushed,

and while it will probably not be fully

completed for a day or two, will be in operation to-morrow, when enormous crowds will doubtless patronize it. A magnificent new organ, playing some of the most popular and beautiful airs of the day will be introduced. There will be few if any, handsomer machines than this in the country, and Mr. Adams and the town can be justly proud of it. B. R. Smith has done the painting.

Resumed Their Old Run.

The Ocean City Express, on the West

Jersey Railroad, which commenced

running Saturday last, is manned as

follows: Harry Reinhart, whose shadow

never grows less, presides at the throttle;

David Hickey, who is authority on

railroading, manipulates the punch, as

of yore; Benjamin Newkirk looks after the passengers, and Harry Sutton

wrestles with the Saratogas and smiles complacently at the complaints of dam-

aged baggage.

The Ferris Wheel. It is reported that the great Ferris

Wheel, now in operation at the World's

Fair, has been purchased at its construction price, $210,000, and at the

close of the Fair it will be brought to Atlantic City.

GEO. HAYDAY, Atlantic City. Or R. R. C. ROBINSON, Sentinel Office. CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents. CAPE MAY CITY. Nearly 300 newspaper men of Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, and their wives, arrived here Friday afternoon on a special train. They were quartered at the Stockton Hotel, where they remained until Monday night, the guests of the Pennsylvania Railroad. This place will have a strong base ball team this season, equal to those of past years. The players so far signed are: Priest, pitcher, of Cornell; Humphreys, of Princeton, Coogan, of the University of Pennsylvania, catchers; Wagonhurst, Stearns and Sullivan, of Amhurst; King and Ramsdell, of Princeton. A league has been formed with the Camden, the Camden A. A. and the Atlantic City Club. Judge Howard Carrow filed an information in the Supreme Court, Camden, last week, on behalf of Attorney-Gen-eral John P. Stockton, against the "Mayor and Council of the Borough of Cape May Point." The information is in the nature of a quo warranto and brings into question the legality of the corporate existence of the borough.

Judge Carrow takes the position that

the borough act of 1891, the act by force of which this borough claims to be a

municipal corporation, is unconstitu-

tional because it attempts to confer upon a Justice of the Supreme Court the power of determining within what territory the citizens thereof shall have the right to assume existence as a municipal corporation. PALERMO AND VICINITY. Reuben S. Madara enjoyed the Fourth at the Court House. Many of our citizens greatly enjoyed the Fourth in Ocean City. Miss Viola M. Corson is becoming quite an expert in the use of her bicycle.

Miss Lida G. Fogg was a guest on a

recent Sunday afternoon at Andrew Sack's. Captain William G. Scudder spent

two days last week in Camden, attending to business interests. Our pastor and his family were in Ocean City on Friday, and were very kindly entertained at the home of Nicholas Corson. J. E. Austin, who rented his house with its furnishings, in Ocean City, for the season, has moved his family into part of the house occupied by a brother, near this place, and they are becoming familiar with the usages of Palermo residents. Interesting as well as amusing scenes frequently take place along the Seaside

road, in the way of racing between

different wheelmen, and at times between wheelmen and vehicles, in which cases the horses enter into the contest with as much enthusiasm, apparently, as the men, but thus far the wheelmen have come off No. 1.

Our residents have been launching

out on the matrimonial waters quite extensively of late, as the following attests: On Thursday evening, June 22d, at the residence of the bride's parents, by Rev. M. M. Fogg, Miss Mamie B., only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew B. Lippincott, and Stillie Young, son of Captain Samuel R. Young, and a member of L. S. S., No. 31; and on Friday evening, June 23d, at the residence of Captain Somers C. Young, Thaddeus V. Young and Mrs. Maria Young. In Camp. The Panola Camping Club, of Philadelphia, arrived on Saturday with a

merry and enthusiastic crew, and has

encamped on the point of beach, where they will have an enjoyable time for two weeks. The party is under the able leadership of Dr. L. T. Ganett who has had fifteen years' experience

in affairs of this kind. The club consists of the following gentlemen, who will be joined by several more in a day or two: Geo. F. Hilt, Fred C. Mattis, Percy W. Foster, Wm. Baugh, Joseph J. Campbell, Edward C. McDowell, of Philadelphia, and Chas. L. Thompson, of Camden. The "Reliance," consisting of R. T. Battersby and Abram R. Simon, of Philadelphia, have also gone into camp, and will disport themselves for one week.

An Auspicious Occasion.

The Knights of Pythias Lodge held its meeting Monday night. It was the

occasion for the semi-annual installation of officers. District Deputy Dr. Eugene

Way, of Dennisville, instituted the fol-

lowing: Geo. O. Adams, C. C.; Robert Burroughs, V. C.; Samuel Sampson, P.; C. S. Pryor, W. A.; Mark Lake, I. G.; Harry L. Conver, M. of W. After the business had been disposed of, a collation was had, when large tables was spread, which fairly groaned with the weight of their burdens. All the delicacies of the season were represented and the brethren fell to, and partook of the refreshing viands placed before them. Pleasing remarks were made by

Brother Wm. Lake and others, and the whole affair was a most suspicious success.

Rival Steamers Collide.

The claims of Captain David Hollinger's steamer Golden Gate, and the Ocean City, owned by the Atlantic

Coast Steamboat Co., as to speed, have for some time been in dispute, and a race was indulged in Sunday to determine the matter. Both sides started out with enthusiasm, but the race was never finished, for the boats clashed together in collision, and the Ocean City sustained some injuries in the sides from the bow of the Golden Gate.

FOR RENT.--A nice cottage; fully furnished; best location on the island. Apply to R. C. Robinson, this city.

For sale, or exchange for real estate, a nice driving or saddle pony, suitable for children. "R," Sentinel Office. ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel." HIGBEEVILLE. Mrs. Joel Higbee has returned home after a week's visit with her son. BARGAINTOWN. On Thursday, June 29th, a party was given by Captain James Sutton, commander of the yacht Minnie, officered as follows: Commander, Captain James Sutton; sailing master, George Sutton; pilot, Harry Brown; purser, Richard Price. The Minnie left her dock with thirty-two invited guests, bound for Ocean City. The Epworth League gave a box sociable, which netted $35. The money

will be devoted to the objects of charity.

The congregation of Zion M. E. Church is increasing, and more interest

is being taken in the Sabbath school than formerly.

PLEASANTVILLE.

monton on Saturday. She has not improved much in health. Mrs. Ezra Reed, of Philadelphia, is visiting relatives in this place. Miss Rachie Adams is still very ill. John Burroughs and family, of Atlantic City, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. A. Channel. Mrs. John Race entertained quite a number of her friends on Sunday. Daniel Champion and wife and son, of Camden; Mrs. E. Barton and family

and Mr. and Mrs. Enoch Champion, of Absecon.

Miss Marette Frambes, of Port Republic, came down on Monday afternoon on her bicycle to spend the Fourth. Mrs. W. J. Large is entertaining friends from Vineland and Philadelphia. What might have been a serious accident occurred to Miss Laura Reeves and her sister, Esther. While out driving on Friday afternoon the horse became unmanageable and started to run away. Miss Laura was badly bruised by being kicked by the animal in its efforts to free itself from the vehicle. Mrs. Noblett, of Conshohocken, Pa., is visiting her niece, Mrs. Wesley Fenton. Frederick Sanders and bride spent a portion of last week with Mr. Sanders' brother, Mark Sanders. Mrs. George Adams is visiting her parents at Lincoln, Delaware. Mrs. Mary Wagner has rented her cottage to Philadelphia parties. They took possession last week. Mr. Unsworth and family have gone to Vineland to spend the Fourth. Charles Butterworth, Miss Katie

Renty and Mrs. Keyser, of Philadel-

phia, are visiting Mrs. J. E. Butterworth.

The Lawn Fete, given by the young ladies of the Baptist Church was a financial success.

Miss Laura V. Johnson, of Upland,

Pa., visited her cousin, Miss Alberta Lake, last week. Miss Emma Reeves spent last week with friends in Atlantic City. Rev. Bailey, of Atlantic City, preach-

ed in the Baptist Church last Sunday morning.

ATLANTIC CITY.

William Eldredge's residence and store has been painted. Mrs. Anna Kaign is still very poorly.

The 14-year-old son of Councilman

Joseph Clements, Wednesday last was seriously injured by being thrown from a horse. David V. Wright, of this place, has been arrested on a charge of having at-

tempted to commit a criminal assault on 9-year-old Marion Gregory. Bradford Chapman, of Philadelphia, reported to the police Wednesday last that he had been robbed of his coat and vest and watch and money while asleep on the boardwalk. Isaac Miller and Abraham Belger were placed under bail by Justice Wil-

liams Thursday, on a charge of stealing

harness from the stables of Councilmen Leeds and J. A. Somers. Secretary of War Lament has written to J. A. Webber, secretary of the Atlantic City Homing Pigeon Club, ask-

ing for information as to the number

of birds owned by the club and how many would be available to the United

States Government in case of any emergency requiring the services of such carriers. Susan Smallwood was removed from her home, a shanty on the outskirts of the city, by relatives to May's Landing Thursday. An investigation of the premises brought to light the fact that she was possessed of 750 acres of land

on Seven Mile Beach, which is said to

be worth $100,000. She was an aged and decrepid woman and was supposed to be a pauper. The latest theme for Dame Gossip is the short courtship and sudden mar-

riage of Harry Squire, a prominent member of the Manhattan Bicycle Club, New York, and Miss Rebecca Smith, of this place. Thursday night Squire met Miss Smith, and after an

hour's conversation they were engaged

to be married. Miss Smith was supposed to have been engaged to another gentleman for the last five years. The

nuptial knot was tied by a local clergyman.

The injuries of Mrs. Leonard Finlet-

ter, daughter-in-law of Judge Finletter,

of Philadelphia, are more painful than

dangerous. While she was coming

from the Inlet in a hack Thursday evening, a boy threw a pack of lighted firecrackers in the street, and the horse ran away. Mrs. Finletter, after the horse had run ten squares, jumped from the vehicle, although cautioned to keep her seat by the driver. She landed on her head and shoulders and was badly cut and bruised. Florence Hand, the seven-year-old daughter of Joseph Hand, who resides at 22 Tennessee avenue, while standing on the steps leading from the boardwalk to the beach, last week, fell off into the into the water. The water at the time was at high tide and about three feet in depth. The child was being rapidly carried out, when her twelve-year-old sister, Irene, who ac-

companied her, bravely jumped into

the surf and caught her. Willing hands assisted in pulling the little heroine and her precious charge from the ocean. Irene was the recipient of

quite an ovation on the part of the big crowd which had assembled and saw the rescue.

The Fourth of July. The 117th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence was celebrated

Monday all over the country with more

enthusiasm than for many years past.

The Columbian celebration seems to

have inspired the people to the highest

point of patriotism, and there was

probably very few who did not observe the day in one way or other. Unprecedented efforts were made the country over to emphasize the Columbian Independence Day in a manner that surpassed all former years, and Ocean City took its full share of interest in the auspicious occasion. An immense amount of fireworks had been sold in the town, and all day long and far into the night the air resounded with the snap of the rocket, and the thunder of the cannon. Many spent the day sailing, fishing and crabbing, others visited distant friends, while a great number remained at home and entertain their city cousins. The formal exercises began in the morning, when the Ocean City Cornet Band met the 10:00 a. m. train on its arrival at the main station, and then escorted the excursionists to the Auditorium, where an elaborate order of exercises had been arranged for. The visitors were welcomed to Ocean City by the Mayor, after which the band discoursed patriotic airs. The President of the Ocean City Association, Rev. S. Wesley Lake, of Bridgeton, then followed with an address. More music was had, and then Rev. W. A. Massey,

C. W. Burnley, of Williamsport, and

C. K. Fleming, of Smith's Landing, made some interesting remarks. After some more music the gathering dispersed to the Excursion House Casino, and other places of attraction. Mr. Cross had made special preparations to attend to the crowds, and promised ample accommodations in all the different departments. The workmen had been laboring night and day to finish the new Casino, which was destroyed by fire a few weeks ago, and they had it ready early in the day. Mr. Adams

had determined to give Ocean City a

very handsome merry-go-round, and made a contract with a leading firm to build the largest and most handsome one ever turned out of their factory. The candy kitchen was put in full operation as quickly as possible and here the toothsome sweet-meats were made by experienced hands, free from

dangerous adulterations. This was a great feature of the Casino.

In the evening a display of fireworks

was seen on the strand, and some

novelties appeared that have never

been seen before. There were boat races and swimming matches during the day.

One of the most unique features in connection with the celebration of Independence Day at the Columbian Exposition was the participation of British soldiers who belong to the reserve, and are there on six months' furlough. They have already shown their loyalty to her Majesty Victoria since they arrived, notably when Mayor Harrison tried to talk annexation to the Canadians and Englishmen in the Festival Hall, Saturday, but they do not consider it inconsistent with the allegiance and obligations as soldiers to take an active part with the American hosts in the White City, who will rejoice at the overthrow of English tyranny and dominion in the United States. Every man, woman and child going into the Columbian Fair grounds was presented with a small American flag by the city of Chicago, and the words of the national songs, which the people joined in singing. The myriad of miniature stars and stripes were waved at an opportune time during the singing of the "Star-Spangled Banner." Royal Baking Powder Absolutely Pure A cream of tartar baking powder.
