Captain Daniel Lee, Charles Harvey and William Shayrock met with an accident on Saturday last while in a yawl boat a short distance from their

schooner, which was lying at anchor at Somers' Point. They had been out

for some clams, and having caught two or three hundred, started under full sail for the schooner. When in about the middle of the channel they let the sail go over, and the main sheet being made fast the boat went over, and the three occupants were thrown out. Luckily they caught hold of the side of the boat and remained there until help came. They were soon taken off. The only loss they met with was one of the

captain's slippers. This was a very fortunate escape.

rangement of the lot. Leading down to the grave from each side were five

steps, nicely turfed and strewn with waterlilies, the ends were draped in mourning. The deceased was president of the Jefferson Democratic Club

The horse of Youngs Corson, attached to a carriage, ran away Tuesday morning about 11 o'clock, and dashed down Asbury avenue at a mad gallop. Every one gave the frightened animal a wide berth, but near Eighth street, E. B. Corson, who was driving along in his carriage, narrowly escaped a collision. Between Eighth and Ninth street the horse ran into the sidewalk on the eastern side of the street, throwing off the front left wheel of the carriage and breaking it in splinters. Several men tried to stop the animal, but on it went in its wild career until it reached the house 939, when it suddenly veered

into the sidewalk again, and threw open the gate, demolishing one of the

hinges, and breaking loose from the carriage. At Tenth street it turned

toward Central avenue, and when near the corner was captured by Mr. Sooy.

The vehicle was badly injured, the axle being bent out of shape and other damage done. The left hind leg of the horse was lacerated above the joint. Shortly after the excitement had subsided the double tem of Harry Canfield also ran away while passing along Wesley avenue, between Sixth and Seventh street. The horses became alarmed at a passing trolley car, and made a break for Fourth street. The driver heroically endeavored to stop the maddened beasts. They turned into Sixth street, and when opposite the Auditorium the driver suddenly drew them into the lot, where the trees impeded their progress.

Some slight damage was done to the harness and wagon, and a large tree completely uprooted.

Atlantic's Latest Nickel Taker.

The latest thing in boardwalk devices for extracting nickels from pleasure-

seekers at Atlantic City is the most in-

genious of all. It's a case where the public doesn't object to having the wool

pulled over their eyes. The patron is invited to take a trip in a lightning ele-

vator, and enters a closed car, which rests on a turn-table. With a terrific

bump the car starts upward, and the occupant grabs the sides. The lights

go down and the motion becomes more rapid until the victim breathes an inward vow to reform if he ever escapes alive. Another bump, the lights go up, and he discovers that he has moved but a few feet, the sense of motion being produced by the sides of the car whirling downward. The sides are painted on canvas, and revolve on rollers. Dixon-Connor. Mrs. J. W. Dixon, accompanied by her son-in-law and daughter, George T. Bisel and wife, went to Philadelphia Tuesday to attend the wedding of her son, Cyrus M. Dixon, of Twin Lakes, Col., and Miss Georgie B. Connor, of Philadelphia. The ceremony was held at high-noon at the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Advocate, Eighteenth and Diamond streets. After an extensive wedding tour, the happy couple will visit the groom's mother in this city. Their permanent residence will be taken up in Twin Lakes. Narrow Escape. Rev. J. Canfield, father of Mrs. H. D. Canfield, made a narrow escape from

being run down by a trolley car at Sixth and Wesley Monday evening, and it was owing to the mistake made by the motorman that the aged gentleman escaped. Mr. Canfield, who is very deaf,

did not hear the car coming when he started to cross the street, but the mo-

torman, thinking he was waiting for the car, slackened speed and thus averted what might have been a serious accident. Pineapple is the most popular flavor of soda water in Ocean City, and one of the most wholesome. Royal Baking Powder Absolutely Pure
