OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. THURSDAY, JULY 13, 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 accompanied with the full name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publication, but a guarantee of good faith. LOCAL NEWS. Brick sidewalks are being laid all over town. White duck suits are numerous on the boardwalk. The local physicians report very little illness in town. The excursionists are enthusiastic in their praises of our beach. B. H. Brayman, of Philadelphia, are spending the summer here. Mrs. T. G. Janvier, of Lansdowne, Pa., is recreating in this city. This town is remarkably free from malaria and similar diseases. The boardwalk now presents a very animated scene in the evenings. Seaville Camp Meeting commences July 15th and closes on the 24th. Rev. S. C. Collier and wife, are spending a delightful season in this city. Many visitors carry away with them portions of the wrecks as relics. William Hagle and family are domiciled in their third syndicate cottage. An express delivery is needed in Ocean City during the summer months. Dr. G. E. Palen and family, of Philadelphia, have came down for the season. Miss Alice Risley is entertaining a lady friend at her Asbury avenue residence. The post-office presents a very busy scene after the arrival of the evening mail. Early morning walks down to the life-saving station are very much in fashion.

Hotel rates are very low in Ocean

City, considering the character of board furnished. Several leading citizens are actively

at work securing excursions to come to this place.

S. M. Bassitt and family, of Bridgeton, are occupying their Wesley ave-

nue cottage.

R. B. Stites & Co. are furnishing the kumber for the new house at Thirty-fourth street.

A. C. Senseman and family, of Phil-

adelphia, are occupying a cottage here for the season. The Board of Health is keeping a

sharp lookout for infractors of their sanitary laws.

But a small proportion of those who came down last Saturday and Sunday have returned.

The M. E. Sunday-school, of Tucka-

hoe, will bring an excursion to this city in the near future. Elmer Bard, of Millville, has his family domiciled in a West avenue cot-

tage for the season.

Mrs. William C. Brown, of Philadelphia, is spending a season very pleas-

antly at this resort.

The dog-cathing crusade of the Marshal has developed a brisk trade in

muzzles and chains. Fred. Brooks, of Camden, has rented S. S. E. Cowperthwait's cottage, at 1220 Central avenue. Several Philadelphians are being entertained at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Bartine. Mrs. William Jones has made several noticeable improvements to her As-

bury avenue cottages. C. H. Myers, of Millville, has his

family domiciled in their Sixth street cottage for the season. There have been two arrests for disorderly conduct in Ocean City during

the past twelve years.

Mrs. Cassel, of Philadelphia, has rented J. C. Chance's cottage on Asbury avenue, above First street. Lawyer Charles Matthews, Jr., of Philadelphia, has rented one of J. G. Salter's Seventh street cottages. J. C. Chance and family have returned to their Philadelphia home, after spending a season in this city. Lewis Sigers and wife, of Bridgeton, are now occupying their cottage on Asbury avenue, near Thirty-third street. On the 19th of July the large excursion of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Glassboro will come down to Ocean City. Mrs. J. George Bucher, of Narbrth, Pa., is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Rush E. Cox, corner Twelfth and Asbury avenue. The boat house of Squire Myers, at Seventh street wharf, is undergoing improvements and will be raised somewhat higher. H. Hentschke, a dealer in musical instruments, and family, of Philadelphia, are occupying their Third syndicate cottage. W. H. Hays, of Philadelphia, Thursday rented a Fifth street cottage, and expects to bring his family here for a month's stay. A number of Bridgeton capitalists contemplate forming a syndicate for real estate operations in Ocean City, and will probably make a visit here in the near future. The H. G. Schultz Camping Club, of Philadelphia, will spend their vacation

here this summer, occupying a cottage

in third syndicate. Samuel Beebe and family, of Frankford, are sojourning here for a few weeks, and are stopping at the Ocean avenue cottage. Thomas Scott, of Philadelphia, has rented Willets Godfrey's Asbury avenue cottage, and will bring his family

here for the summer.

R. B. Stites & Co., are having their storage house removed from the south to the west corner of Twelfth and West avenue. Contractor A. D. Scull is in charge of the work. Thomas McDonough, of Camden, has removed with his family to Ocean City for the summer, and is occupying Mrs. Jane Boyle's cottage, Fifth street and Atlantic avenue.

Mrs. Godfrey, wife of Captain Leam-

ing Godfrey, of Peck's Beach Life Saving Station, who has been under the care of an Atlantic City specialist, has returned to her home. The work of completing the electric road to Sixteenth street is being rapidly

prosecuted, and it is said the wires will

be strung in the early part of the week, and the cars run at once. Mayor Moore has issued a summons for John McGarrigle, who is charged with transgressing the Sunday law in

running the delivery wagon of George

Myers, Jr., on that day. The Atlantic County Board of Freeholders awarded a contract for a new

brick jail at May's Landing to Arthur

W. Stiles. The structure will cost $9000 and will contain steel cells.

Rodman Corson, a prominent school

teacher of this county, nephew of Mrs. R. B. Stiles, this city, was married at

the home of the bride, Miss Geneva

Corson, Philadelphia, on July 6th. Rev. Dr. John B. Gough Pidge, pas-

tor of the Fourth Baptist Church, Phila-

delphia, with his family, are spending the season with us. The Doctor has

just returned from a trip around the world.

While the papers tell us that Atlantic City hotel keepers are "growling"

about a poor season, it is a pleasing fact

to know that our hostelries are either already full, or have sufficient applications to fill them in the near future. There is no "hole" whatever in the beach, as has been reported. There is a slight depression below the bar caused by the motion of the water in "gutter," or pool formed by the bar. The Ocean City beach is the finest on the coast. The combined excursion of the Trinity and First M. E. Sunday-schools of Millville, which came down Tuesday

was the largest of the season so far.

The train came in two sections, and was made up of twenty cars, carrying about 1000 people.

George Boyster, wanted for burglary in Burlington, was arrested and locked up in Atlantic City on Sunday, and

was removed to Burlington yesterday.

He was found employed as a hostler in an uptown livery stable. The robbery was committed May 10th.

The new purchasers of the Philadel-

phia, Sea Isle City and Cape May Railroad have had a gang of 200 men at work for a week, placing everything in

order. One hundred men will commence

work on the three miles of uncompleted road lying between this city and Corson's Inlet to-day. Superintendent Taylor says the road will be in opera-

tion no later than July 15th.

Excursionists on the steamer Republic are mostly unacquainted with the swift current that flows in and out of the bay around Cape May Point. They have only a little time at the shore, and don't stop to inquire about the danger or select a safer place to bathe. The drowning of the two excursionists on Wednesday has had the effect of calling attention to the circumstance that there are no adequate means there ready at hand for the rescue of persons from the water. City Council Meets. City Council met Friday evening in Steelman's Hall. Nothing of special moment occured, and the business being entirely of a routine character.

After the approval of the minutes, the Committee on the Extension of

Seventh Street Wharf reported progress. On motion of Mr. Hand, the Lighting Committee were ordered to locate additional electric lights in such places as should seem desirable. The Committee on crossing stones having finished their work and were discharged. The Committee on Fire Hose Equip-

ments reported progress. A communi-

cation was received from Mrs. Ranck, in which she requested some action looking toward the clearing of the lot adjoining the Allaire Hotel. Bills to the amount of $695.74 were approved, including one of $281.26 from the W. J. R. R. for freight, and another representing the balance on account of fire hose. Thomas Kenney, Samuel Dickson and F. W. Hyatt were appointed as special police officers. The two former will be on duty at Adams' merry-go-round, while Mr. Hyatt will be stationed at the Excursion House. A communication from the Ocean City SENTINEL relative to advertising was received. On motion of Mr. Corson, a committee was appointed to look into the charges of irregular removal of garbage. Mr. Hand moved that the notes of the Ocean City Association be accepted in payment of taxes. On motion of the same member it was arranged to place barrels of drinking water at the corner of Eighth street and Asbury avenue, and at a point on the boardwalk, for the benefit of excursionists on such days. Mr. Canfield was appointed a committee to make inquiries concerning the cost of a street sprinkler. Adjourned, to meet on Friday evening next. Fire Test. An exhibition will be given by the Long Island and New Jersey Roofing

and Paint Company, on the strand, foot of Seventh street, at 8 o'clock Saturday evening, 15 inst., showing the fire-proof qualities of their paint. All are invited to be present. Parties contemplating having their houses moved to new locations, or elevated and rebuilt will save money by corresponding with Abel D. Scull, builder

and general house mover. Houses moved in any part of the county. Address A. D. Scull, builder, Thistle Cottage, Ocean City, N. J. FOR RENT.--A nice cottage; fully furnished; best location on the island. Apply to R. C. Robinson, this city. Largest stock of wall paper and decorations in South Jersey at R. R. Smith's, Sixth and Asbury, at Philada. prices. Important Arrest Made. Marshal Conver on Tuesday morning brought over from Marshallville, Harry

Squires, alias H. W. Cromwell, who is charged with various crimes committed at Atlantic City. About 11:30 he took him to Atlantic City, and handed him over to the authorities there. On last Saturday, Enoch S. Clouting informed the Marshal that a man had escaped from Atlantic City on July 4th, who was charged with the murder of a woman at that place, and gave him a description. Conver at once began a search of the town in the hope of locating him there, but he was not to be found. He determined to search the surrounding country, and taking the two o'clock train, went to Corson's Inlet. Here he discovered him loitering about the neighborhood of Crother's hotel, and approaching him, got into his confidence and learned he was the man wanted. The marshal did not disclose his identity, but after spending some time in his company, in which they chatted and smoked together, Conver sent to Mayor Kates, of Somers' Point for reliable information concerning the case. Having no warrant he could not arrest him. Mayor Kates sent message by rail to the Atlantic City Chief of Police. As it was too late in the day to get an answer, Conver returned to Ocean City. On Sunday morning he left on the

6:30 boat for Somers' Point, where he had an interview with Mayor Kates,

who had as yet received no particulars

from the Chief of Police of Atlantic

City, and Conver came back to Ocean

City, but found no answer here. He

then went to Atlantic City and saw the Chief, who had caused Justice Williams to issue a State warrant on the charge of grand larceny. The Marshal at once brought it back to Mayor Moore, who endorsed it. He took a train and proceeded to Corson's Inlet, from where

he found the man had fled. As there

was no train back he was compelled to

walk the entire distance.

Monday Conver went to Beesley's

Point, and searching for the man, found

he had been there and gone away.

He returned and in the evening hired a

horse and buggy, and taking with him

Everton A. Corson, who was acquainted

with the road, proceeded to Petersburg,

and thence to Tuckahoe, and found he was close on the track of the fellow. He remained at Tuckahoe all night, and

this morning drove to Marshallsville,

where he found his man loading wood on a schooner upon which he had made arrangements to work his way to New

York. Squires was so astonished that

he made no resistance, and when handcuffed admitted his identity. The Marshal drove him over at once,

and placed him in the city's lock-up. He

announced the capture to the Mayor, and then proceeded to take him to Atlantic City. A representative of the SENTINEL

had an interview with Squires, when

he was taken out of the cell this morning. He is about twenty-five years old, tall and lank, and has an abandoned look, but is very shrewd and intelligent. He said: "A reporter came here this

morning and told me I was charged with murder, and tried to obtain some information from me. But little he got. The charge that I am guilty of murder and embezzlement is untrue, and is born of the spirit of tyranny and oppression that kicks a man when he

is down. I am cheerfully going back

to Atlantic City to answer an usup-

ported charge, and will be acquitted with flying colors. I am a New Yorker,

and have been summering at Atlantic

City for some weeks. I had with me a person I esteemed to be a friend,

Albert Lehman, but partially through

whose duplicity I am made a criminal.

"While intoxicated, I was enticed

into going through a marriage ceremony with a depraved and scheming woman. I ran short of funds, and Lehman, whom I had been supporting down there, agreed to "put up" his bicycle. There are no pawn shops in the

place, and accordingly, with Lehman's

consent and in his presence, I gave a bill of sale to a man named Lodge, a

machinist, who took the "wheel" as

collateral security, and advanced me

$120. Before I knew anything, I found myself 'wanted' on the charge of lar-

ceny of the machine, and being without friends or resources, I fled. "It is my impression that the woman

I have married and her relatives are

attempting to bring me to terms in this way. They know my family is wealthy.

They reside in New York, and it was my intention to work my way there on the wood boat when the officer captured me." Turning to the marshal, he said: "You have treated me like a gentleman and you will be repaid for it." It is said that Squire, who has also been known as Cromwell, belongs to a wealthy and aristocratic family in New York. Auditorium Services. Rev. John Heisler, pastor of Central M. E. Church, Bridgeton, preached at the opening services of the Auditorium on Sunday morning at 10:30, from the text, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." A large audience

greeted the same speaker again at 8 p.

m., when the learned gentleman spoke from the text, "Thy testimonies are wonderful." A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Christian Endeavor Society was

held in the local church at 6:30 p. m.,

led by C. A. Campbell. WANTED.--Bright, active boys to sell daily newspaper on our streets. Apply at this office Saturday. BRICK! BRICK!! BRICK!!!--Orders
