Death of Robert H. Risley. Robert H. Risley, a well-known resident of Linwood, Atlantic county, died at his residence on Wednesday evening, of heart trouble. Deceased had been sick but a few days. In early life Mr. Risley followed the sea for a livelihood. For the past few years he had been employed by the West Jersey Title and Guaranty Company of Camden, taking abstracts of all deeds and mortgages filed in the Atlantic county Clerk's office. The deceased was a brother of the late D. Somers Risley, of Camden.

Washington Light Infantry.

Everything is settled for the reception of the Washington Light Infantry, at

Atlantic City, who go into camp on the 20th. The lawn fronting St. Charles Hotel, on Delaware avenue, has been secured for the soldier boys, and there they will assemble to captivate the heart of the summer girl with their shiny brass buttons and pleasing manners. The organization is a popular one, and is sure of royal treatment at the hands of local citizens and hotel men, many of the latter having already arranged dances and hops in its honor. The Morris Guards, the crack loyal military organization, will probably aid in their reception. A Buff Bathing Party. A party of gentlemen who are guests of the Brighton had an amusing experience Friday night--at least it was amusing to their friends. When the sable clock of lovely night had settled over the Island, and all good people were supposed to be in the sheltering

arms of Morpheus--several silent figures stole from the confines of Hotel

Brighton and, after removing their wrappings--which were mackintoshes,

proceeded to take a buff bath. This was all very well--but presently several other silent figures came forth, seized the mackintoshes, and disappeared. No account has been received of the

first set of "silent figures" having yet returned from that buff bath. So if a

half-dozen swimming mer-men be discovered languishing in the surf to-day no one need be surprised. Camping Parties. Two camping parties pitched their tents among us Friday morning. The first composed of Mr. and Mrs. Allison, Mr. and Mrs. Coleman, Miss Bessie Coleman, Mr. VanHorn, Miss Carrie VanHorn and Mr. Blackburn, will take up quarters at point of beach, and have named their camp Camp Allison. They come from Philadelphia. The second party, who are costumed in corduroy suits, buff caps, russet

shoes, blue shirts with white neckties, are known as the Columbia Camping

Club of Philadelphia. Their names are as follows: W. A. Gray, John Anders,

George Buitmann, Joseph Croll, Harry Croll, Lee Danaker, James Danaker,

Al Warner and William Bumm. They are located on the beach near the Life Saving Station. They have with them

a cook and waiter and intend to get all the enjoyment possible during their outing.

Both parties will remain here about ten days enjoying the sea breezes.

Ancestors of Great Men. Swinburne is a descendent of Celtic

and Scandinavian stock. Tennyson seems to have been equally of Danish

extraction and Plantagenet ancestry, with a slight mixture of French blood. William Morris is a descendent of Welsh and Anglo-Danish stock. Robert Browning's great-grandfather, who was of Welsh-Saxon origin, married a Creole, while the poet's mother was of German and Scotch parentage. Rosetti was twenty-five per cent. English, and northern blood mingled with his Indian ancestry. The commingling of races in the literary geniuses of France is more remarkable still. The grandmother of the senior Dumas was a black woman of St. Domingo. Flaubert had Iroquois blood in his veins. The father of Victor Hugo came of the Germans of Lorraine. Greek, French and Italian blood exists in Zola; his father was an Italian mathematician. Ibsen is of German and Scandinavian ancestry, intermixed with Scotch.

The New Pullman Car.

A new form of vestibule car has been designed by the Pullman Company. There is no platform to this car, as the sides extend the full length. Four posts

extend from the floor to the roof at each end; two of the posts are corner

posts and the other two form the sides of the passageway through which the

passenger steps from one car to another. The steps remain in the same position

as on other cars, but are kept covered by a trap-door except at stations. There is a door on each side of the vestibule which is hinged at one side and opened and closed by means of a small

hand-lever fastened near the roof. When the car is opened from the inside

the trap-door is first lifted and the vestibule door then swings open in front of it. The platforms equipped with this vestibule give additional room to the car. Large windows, four in number, light up the interior, and make it

an attractive place for a passenger to enjoy a smoke before turning in at night.

Crazed by Rum. The usual Sunday quiet of Ocean City was ruthlessly destroyed by one of the most disgraceful brawls ever enacted in this place, which culminated late in the afternoon in the arrest of the culprit, Mary Jane Schenk, who was brought before Mayor Moore for a hearing Monday morning. The husband of the prisoner, John Schenk, who conducts a barber shop at Seventh and Asbury avenue, appeared against his wife, as did several witnesses of yesterday's proceedings. The story of his wife's misdoings was told by Schenk as follows: The woman had been drinking all Sunday morning and by eleven o'clock was in a beastly state of intoxication. She became more and more offensive and finally, going out into the yard adjoining the house, she ran to and fro abusing her husband with the most

disgusting language, and arousing the whole neighborhood. Schenk then tried to induce her to re-enter the house, and just after she stepped inside she shattered the two side windows with her fists. Continuing her rampage, she then hurled a large sea shell through the front bulk window and followed this up by throw-

ing another at the head of her husband, who succeeded in getting out of the way of it.

Her failure to hit Schenk with the shell seemed to infuriate her, and with loud cursings she proceeded to get a hatchet, remarking, "I've got a match

for you now, you--." Schenk, how-

ever, managed to elude her and she had no other opportunity to use it. Later in the day the woman again roused the neighborhood by her drunken howlings and foul language, and finally on complaint of Harry Adams,

she was arrested by Marshal Harry Conver. After all the evidence had been submitted, the Mayor turned to the prisoner, and asked her what she had to say for herself.

"I don't remember nothin' about it," was the answer; then she added, "I know I got a first-class beatin'."

"How do you happen to remember that, and nothing else that occurred?" she was asked.

"I don't know nothin'," was the reply; and that closed the testimony for the defense. The woman, who is short and stout, and with a face that does not belie her

low nature, sat stolidly through the proceedings this morning in Mayor

Moore's office, and exhibited no trace of emotion until the evidence had all

been heard and the Mayor told her that in default of $1000 he would have to commit her to the county jail for trial.

Then the woman made an appeal to her husband, which he at first refused

to grant, but finally, as a result of a talk between himself and the Mayor,

the woman was given the choice of going to the county jail for a year or

leaving the State of New Jersey, not to return, and she chose the latter.

A consensus of opinion of those who know all the particulars of the case

seems to agree that the Mayor solved the case best in ridding the place of such a disreputable character.

In spite of all precautions, however, the woman has been intoxicated again and again, and has more than once

been found drunk on the beach, and aided to her home.

One of the most disgraceful features of the case is that several persons of this place have brought rum here from At-

lantic City and other places, supplying the woman with it and becoming her companion on these sprees.

Much sympathy has been expressed for John Schenk, the woman's hus-

band, a steady, hard-working barber, who has done all that lay in his power

to accomplish the reformation of his wife, but every effort has been accom-

panied by the same result in the end--failure and disgrace. It was for the purpose of removing his wife from the

temptations of rum that Schenk brought her to this place, selling out

his business in Philadelphia. Here, the husband in his endeavor to keep every

intoxicant from her, even requested the druggists to refuse the woman Jamaica ginger.

Yachting Party Upset. The cat yacht Annie May, Captain Joseph Somers, upset Sunday afternoon in North Channel, near Atlantic City, and ten occupants had a narrow escape from drowning. A party including Samuel Read, 1938 Federal street, and his 5-year-old son Horace; Michael Shevlin, northwest corner Eighth and Norris streets; Andrew Thompson, 1509 North Eighth street; Nicholas Fitzgerald, 2004 Oxford street,

and three other Philadelphians, left the Inlet wharf shortly before 2 o'clock, intending to troll for bluefish.

Just after they had their lines out, and when about a mile from shore, the centreboard of the yacht caught the bar,

and the boat being struck with a large breaker at the same time, was com-

pletely turned over, throwing the occu-

pants into the water. A number of boats went to the rescue. Captain Morris Crammer and Thomas Horner were first upon the scene, and succeeded in rescuing all of the party except Nicholas Fitzgerald, who has not yet been accounted for.

Youthful Dancers. One of the most beautiful sights ever witnessed in Atlantic City was presented on the pier Thursday night. Five hundred children, from the curly head-

ed tot of 3 to the shapely and graceful girl of 12, marched and countermarched

over and over around the glassy dancing floor.

It was a children's carnival. For weeks past there have appeared almost

nightly one or two children to delight the hundreds who participated in the

hops with special and fancy dances. A week ago the fertile brain of Profes-

sor Willard conceived the idea of a galaxy of these dainty little dancers to ap-

pear in one evening's entertainment. Thursday night was the night. It was a night of beauty and success.

First of all, all the children formed in line and executed the movement of a

grand march. There were a few under five hundred in line. Then after the

souvenirs had been distributed, they gave a wild cheer, a shrill, childish hurrah, that was music in itself, and the five hundred formed a vast circle

around the dancing floor. It was in the center of this circle, with every

spare inch of the floor and gallery filled with admiring papas and mammas that the little dancers flung and twisted and gyrated and pirouetted till they were dizzy with delight and dazed with rapturous applause.

Not less than fifteen children executed fancy separate dances. They were

dressed in gowns of red, yellow, pale blue, pink, saffron and sombre black.

The youngest was 4 years, the oldest 15. There were doll dances, Highland

flings, hornpipes by dear little boys in yachtmen's garb, Indian, arrow and butterfly dances; Spanish dances, a la Carmencita, and Italian cavatinas. "There's every kind of dance here but the serpentine," said a gentleman in the gallery to a friend.

But he was mistaken, for the next instant a little miss of ten in a flutter of gauze through which all caught the gleam of little limbs clad in pink tights raced out into the middle of the floor circle. She was the centre of a fluffy

mass of silvery texture for five minutes. Before she had finished she had shown

the vast audience that she could give even Loie Fuller points on deportment and dancing.

The Cape May Post-office.

Recent developments in the contest over the postmastership at Cape May

have aroused intense interest in local political circles. Shortly after Mr.

Cleveland was elected the friends of John W. Thompson began urging him

for the place, and this element was backed up by ex-Mayor Edmunds and Senator Lemuel E. Miller.

It was understood that United States Senators Smith and McPhee had

agreed that Thompson should have the office. The time calculated for

the change was in June, and accordingly ex-Mayor Edmunds erected a

building for the use of the new postmaster.

To the surprise of Mr. Thompson's friends he has not yet been appointed,

and it now looks as if some new man would get the place.

A long petition was sent to Washington recently urging the appointment of Edward F. Townsend, a former Re-

publican, who went over to the Demo-

cracy four or five years ago. The straight-out Democrats do not like this and want a man who has always been on their side.

Postmaster Richardson's time does not expire until December, but he is said to be anxious to get out. In the meantime an independent element are urging ex-Tax Collector A. B. Little for the position.

Opening of the Camp Meeting.

Quite a large audience was in attend-

ance Friday night at the opening ser-

vice of the Ocean City Camp Meeting. The sermon was preached by Rev.

George T. Harris, of Dennisville, N. J. The evening's text was from the

twenty-third chapter of Luke, forty-second and forty-third verses, as fol-

lows: "Lord, remember me when Thou cometh into Thy Kingdom." "To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise."

The first verse of the text, as will be recognized, was the prayer of the dying thief, the second verse being the reply of the Savior.

Mr. Harris, in the course of his ser-

mon, dwelt upon the strong faith shown in the prayer of the dying sinner--a

prayer indicative of repentance, and the birth of a new life. Continuing, Mr.

Harris drew attention to the quickness and fullness of the response of an

Almighty and all-pitying Savior, "To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise."

Quite Amusing.

Much amusement was derived from a little incident which took place on the

beach Thursday afternoon. Several gentlemen were walking along together, when simultaneously they spied a sil-

ver dollar lying on the sand. There was a pause--then each gentleman

without wishing to seem in a hurry, made a quick grab at it; one of them slipped, another lost his hat, but all were unanimous in the endeavor to "pinch" that dollar. Finally, it was

secured by one of them. All of them looked rather sheepish, for they recognized that they were possessed of a very lusty desire for the stuff that glitters.

Wayward Boys.

Harry Greig, of 1334 Rose street; Wil-

liam Galligan, of 1220 East street; Wil-

liam Berth, of 721 South Eleventh street, and Bernard McCardie, of 721 Bruck street, Philadelphia, are in jail at At-

lantic City. They range from 10 to 14 years of age, and say they went there for a good time. They left Philadel-

phia about noon Thursday, stole a ride for thirty miles and walked the rest of the way, arriving there about noon to-day.

Religious Meetings of Sunday. The first Sabbath of the present sea-

son of Camp Meeting services was suc-

cessful to an unexpected degree, and the meetings during the entire day

were largely attended. Not only were the services successful, but there were very gratifying results of the ministra-

tions of those who conducted the services.

At 9.30 a. m. a prayer and testimony meeting was given in the Young Peo-

ple's Temple. The service was led by Miss Lizzie Sharp and was much en-

joyed by a large and interested audience. The regular morning service was held

in the Auditorium at 10.30, Rev. E. T. Gray, President of Dickinson Semi-

nary, Williamsport, Pa., preaching. The sermon was from First Corinthians, third chapter, ninth verse, "We are laborers together with God." A large audience was in attendance.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Miss Sharp, who of all persons knows best

how to approach the heart of a child, was in charge of the Children's Service

and in response to her earnest efforts, several of the children went forward to the altar and knelt in consecration.

A very interesting feature of this service was the recital by Rev. Mr. Simkins, of Wyoming Conference, of the occasion of his conversion twenty-two years ago. Mr. Simpkins said he had,

through the influence of a lady evan-

gelist, been led to the altar and converted. It was as the result of that event, that Mr. Simpkins is to-day a minister of the gospel, and the evangelist to whom he owes so much was Miss Lizzie Sharp, who had charge of the children he told his story to. Rev. W. A. Ferguson, of Reading, Pa., conducted the Young People's meeting in the Temple in the evening at 7 o'clock. So many of the young people attended that some were compelled to stand outside the doors. The sermon at the regular 8 o'clock service was delivered by Dr. Gray, the

text selected being from Heb. 7: xxxv, "Wherefore he is able to save them

to the uttermost that come unto God by Him." The preaching was followed by an after-meeting.

Cannot Agree on Wages. The conference committees of the Flint Glass Manufacturers and Workmen, which has been in session at Cape May for two days, adjourned

Friday morning after an exhaustive and someone heated discussion of the

wage question, and a failure to agree on a scale for the next blast. The man-

ufacturers insisted on a 10 per cent. reduction and a re-classification of prescription ovals, and the workmen posi-

tively refused to grant any reduction. This failure of the conference commit-

tee to agree on the wage question does not show that there will be a

walkout, although many fear it will end that way, as a motion was carried to

have another conference this month, and the time and place for holding it was left to the discretion of President Smith, of the Flint Glassworkers' Union. He will probably call the conference for August 20th, and it is likely to be held in Pittsburg. The manufacturers stated that they asked for a reduction owing to the

stringency in the money market, the business depression and the failure to

move stocks manufactured at the last blast. They also wanted the prescrip-

tion oval list re-classified and several classes taken off of the Chicago list and placed on the plain oval list. The workers replied that a reduction

in wages would not sell the stocks already manufactured, and that they had been instructed to submit to no re-

duction whatever; that they had already met the manufacturers more than half

way by withdrawing all demands for an increase of wages in the prescription

branch, and by adopting the bounty system by allowing manufacturers to

pay the same wages on all goods in which they entered into competition with non-union manufacturers.

The manufacturers replied that the bounty plan seemed fair, but its feasibility had not been demonstrated. Almost Beyond Aid. Life Guards Parker and Gifford, of Atlantic City, Thursday rescued from drowning a young lady who had gone in bathing at the foot of Kentucky avenue. She was struck by a large

breaker and knocked insensible, being rapidly carried out to sea, when the life savers succeeded in reaching and

bringing her to shore. To all appear-

ances she was dead, and was taken to a bath house at the foot of New York

avenue. Two physicians who were in the throng discovered faint signs of

life, and began working to bring back life into the motionless body. For one

hour and a half they labored, and were finally rewarded by restoring her to

consciousness. She was taken to a carriage by her friends and rapidly

driven away. She and her friends positively refused to divulge her name.

Ocean City 26; Brighton 15. A base ball game was played Saturday afternoon at the point of beach,

between the Ocean City nine and a nine made up of guests of the Brighton.

The game was much enjoyed by the spectators, most of whom were "root-

ing" for the home team. Harry Con-

ver umpired well, giving satisfaction to both teams. The score was Ocean City 26; Brighton 15.

Two prisoners who were confined in the Cape May Court House Jail await-

ing trial, escaped Friday night. One of the escaped prisoners was a man named Whiting, who had been arrested at Holly Beach for till tapping. Whit-

ing, who is somewhat of an engineer, was detected in his crime and escaped his pursuers by jumping on a West Jersey engine and riding as far as Cape May Court House, where he was arrested by a constable, who had been notified by telegraph. The other was a man named Jones, who was recently committed with a Philadelphia woman named Cooper on the charge of infidel-

delity.

When Whiting and Jones escaped they left dummy figures in their beds to deceive the keeper and his assistants. They left a letter for the wife of the jail keeper, thanking her for the many courtesies she had shown them during their involuntary stay.

A Fad That Attracts Loiterers. A new fad at Cape May is for the men to take a parasol and carry it open out through the surf. To-day in the

water it was particularly pronounced. The game is quite an easy one. The first requisite is a susceptible and reckless young woman owning a handsome sunshade. Then along comes the youth and borrows it. Through the shallow water he starts, and wading through the breakers he swims on out to the life-boat, keeping the dainty parasol ever out of the reach of the water. When tired of the sport, and satisfied with the unusual amount of attention attracted, he returns to the shore and restores to the pouting maid the uninjured sunshade.

A Shooting Match on the Beach.

George W. Astley, C. W. Goger, Dr. Brooks and Mr. Bishop gave an exhibition of marksmanship with the rifle to the frequenters of the beach Tuesday morning about 10 o'clock. A range was measured off, the distance being fifty-six yards, and a number of good shots were made. Several bulls-eye were "touched" and fancy shots were given at cat-tails and other objects.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, August 7, 1893.

Closed Saturdays at 1 p. m. Furniture Trade Sale. An August Trade Sale of Furniture. Why not? Why shouldn't the manufacturers be glad to have no dull sea-

son and no storage costs. Bet-

ter by far for them and the people back of them to keep the wheels going, even if they made almost no profits. Bet-

ter for you to get Furniture a little out of season and get a third or a quarter more for the money.

We reasoned that way three years ago--and each August since--with most gratifying results to the manufacturers, to us, to you. Now we are ready for the Fourth Annual Furniture Trade Sale under conditions which far surpass either of the preceding ones in interest. Only the leading makers were consulted, and only the choice of their goods taken. Parlor Suits Chamber Suits Sideboards

Dining Tables

Chiffoniers

Book Cases China Closets and a variety of other articles of the very best material and workmanship in their several grades have been gathered at prices heretofore unheard of.

The sale began on Tuesday, August 1.

Every piece of Furniture we sell now means something to a workingman, somewhere. We will pack the goods and have them ready to be sent home September 1st. September 15th, or even October 1st, if it will accommodate you. Three days' work is better than no work, but a full week's work would be the best of all. Whatever we can sell for the manufacturers means busier carvers and cabinet-makers and brighter faces for other anxious mechanics.

Almost every part of the store has put on new activity under the influence of the TRADE SALE.

Manufacturers and importers with overloads or with surplusage of any sort, urge us to pass their goods out to you at little or no trouble to them--often at less than cost. If the qualities are right we are glad to do it. This is surely a harvest time for wide-awake housekeepers. JOHN WANAMAKER.
