Three Rescues at Atlantic City. Life-Guards Parker and Captain Clark, who have charge of the district

near the Iron Pier, rescued three men Sunday from the surf. They were

Charles Wilson, of Baltimore; W. W. Davis, of New York, and E. C. Ward, of Brooklyn. All three had unwaringly got beyond their depth, and received quick assistance. Said He Had Been Sandbagged. About 2 o'clock Monday morning a man, who was afterwards identified as Joseph Hoover, of Baltimore, was found

at South Lafayette and Perry streets, Cape May, in a half-naked condition by J. S. Sheldon, a prominent mer-

chant. Hoover claimed that he had been sandbagged, stripped, robber and thrown into the water while walking along the beach. He was badly bruised. An Accident at Adams'. A rather painful but not serious accident happened Saturday morning to Engineer Dickson, of Adams' merry-go-round. He had placed a can full of tallow and compound on the fire to melt, and on opening the door to stir it,

the bottom dropped out and the whole of the contents resolved into an instan-

taneous blaze. The engineer was scorched on the arms and side of the face, but was not seriously hurt. He says he will resume his duties this evening. Want Buoys Placed in the Inlet. The Brigantine Transit Company, of Atlantic City, which operates several steamers from the Inlet, have applied

to Captain Reiter, of the Fourth U. S. Light District, for the placing of four

buoys in the Inlet channel, and a whistling buoy at the north end of Rum Point. The company had put down a number of posts on the bar as range beacons but they were maliciously removed by unknown persons and thus placed the steamers in continual danger of grounding on the shoals. Council's Meeting. A meeting of Council was held Friday night. An ordinance was introduced providing that the butchers, bakers and fishmen be permitted to deliver their goods on Sunday mornings before the hour of 7 o'clock. It passed the first and second reading, and will be pre-

sented for a final reading at the meeting a week from Friday evening next.

Nothing else beside the usual routine matter, the appointing of a few committees, and the passage of a some unimportant bills occupied their attention.

Crushed to Death.

James Hartley, claiming 1628 Moravian street, Philadelphia, as his former home, met with a terrible death Fri-

day morning, at 2 o'clock, while crossing the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks at New York avenue, in Atlan-

tic City. Hartley was an employee at Hockheimer's Cafe, and was on his way home. The night freight had en-

tered the yard but a short time before and the engine was baking down the yard, when the engineer felt a shock and at once shut off steam and put on

the air brakes. Looking down he saw a leg sticking out between the driving wheels. The locomotive was stopped and Hartley's body was seen hanging to the ash pan. It was in a horribly mutilated condition. The aid of a rope was necessary to detach the body from the pan, and the remains were rolled into a box, which was handed over to Undertaker Crouch. The man was 28 years old, and, as far as known, had no family.

A Schooner on Fire.

From the top of Schurch's pavilion and all along the boardwalk Monday night was visible one of the most impressive of all the sights at sea--a large ship enveloped in flame.

A good view of the burning vessel could not be obtained, excepting by

those who ascended to the tops of the houses and were aided by glasses.

From such a point, the sight in all its beauty, was witnessed by a large num-

ber of people; the fire was first noticed at about 7 o'clock and was visible for two hours. It was not long after the fire was first seen, before, in the twinkling of an eye, the flames leapt from the hull to maintruck, enveloping the rigging, from stem to stern, in one great yellow flame.

Two other schooners were close to the unfortunate ship at the time the fire

broke out, and it is supposed that if those on board needed succor it could have easily been rendered.

Samuel Schurch was one of the first to notice the plight of the unfortunate boat, and going to the top of his building with a glass, he watched it for two hours until the fire seemed completely extinguished. Mr. Schurch gives it as his opinion, from the rapidity with which the flames spread, that the fire must have been caused by the ignition of oil.

He says he thinks the vessel was not lost and that if those on board needed aid they could have gotten it without trouble from the two schooners in the vicinity.

The vessel was headed for the break-

water and it is expected that word will be received there to-day regarding the disaster.

ANNUAL CAMP MEETING. A Successful Day on the Camp Grounds. The sixth day of the Annual Camp Meeting in Ocean City opened Wednes-

day with the usual service of song, prayer and testimony, conducted by Miss Lizzie Sharp, in the Young People's Temple. This is the first year of this feature of the meeting and its success has been very gratifying to President Lake. At 10.30 a. m. a large congregation assembled to hear Rev. H. V. Cheesman, of Camden preach. His text was taken from St. John vi:44. After the sermon Evangelist Hyde, of Philadelphia, created much enthusiasm by an earnest exhortation.

At 3 o'clock p. m. the Rev. Cornelius Hudson, of Bangor, Pa., was the

preacher. The words of the Apostle Paul, found in Romans i:16 suggesting the sermon. The feature of this service was the singing of the celebrated Ver-

non children. As "My Jesus, I love Thee," rang out in the sweet silvery

notes of their fresh young voices many eyes were suffused with tears. The

beauty and tenderness of the song and the singing and sweetness of the voices

of the little singers moved many who would probably remain untouched by the logical reasoning of sermons, and was but a scene in evidence of the Scriptural teaching, "And a little child shall lead them." The children will sing twice each day hereafter.

Miss Sharp greeted the children of Ocean City at 4 o'clock in the Temple. In a song and prayer and earnest teaching the little ones were directed to things divine. This service is de-

serving of the serious consideration of parents. The sounding of the 7 o'clock bell in the evening speedily filled the Temple with a host of enthusiastic young people. Leader Ferguson was in charge, and closed the meeting by giving an opportunity for those who wished to begin a new life to manifest it by rising. Six persons arose. The closing service of the day was at 8 o'clock in the evening. Rev. L. R. Edwards, of Moorestown, was the speaker at this service. A very suggestive exposition of the fifty-fifth chapter of Isaiah was very much en-

joyed by a large congregation. Follow-

ing the sermon, Miss Lizzie Sharp conducted an after-meeting. Two penitants came to the altar, and immediately a large number of the brethren and sisters gathered about them and sang and prayed with them until they professed conversion. "This was a glorious day," was the comment of an aged Methodist. Thursday's attendance at the services of the Feast of Tabernacles was the largest of this year. A great many people took advantage of the special excursion rates offered from Atlantic City and spent the day in worship. The preacher of the morning was Rev. Thomas Kelley, D. D., of the Philadelphia Conference. The sermon was an interesting discourse on the text, First Thessalonians ii:18, "But Satan hindered us." The afternoon congregation was greeted by a Presbyterian minister in the person of Rev. S. W. Beach, pastor of a flourishing church in Bridgeton. His text was taken from Acts viii:5.

At 4 o'clock the silvery voices of the Children's songs floated out from the

Temple, where Miss Sharp had gathered about her the little ones of the Camp Meeting. A number of children have been converted in these special afternoon meetings. Rev. George J. Burns, of Philadelphia, who for year shas labored with Mr. Ferguson among young people, conducted the meeting in the Temple at 7 o'clock. Evangelist Hyde addressed the meeting on the importance of personal consecration. Rev. Amos Johnson, pastor of the M. E. Church at Columbia, Pa., was the preacher at the evening service. Mr. Johnson is an earnest and popular preacher, and won for himself fresh laurels last night by delivering an excellent sermon upon "The Sufferings of Christ." The after-meeting was participated in by Revs. A. B. Richardson and J. F. Shaw, of Camden. Friday's Services. Friday, Rev. J. Ward Gamble, pastor of St. Paul's M. E. Church, Atlantic City, was the speaker. His text was found in Psalms 6:cxxvi. The sermon was pointed and practical, and produced a good impression. At its close a large number made a pledge to endeavor to influence others to begin a better life. At the afternoon service, Rev. C. F. Downs, of Millville, preached an excellent discourse from II Corinthians 13:ii, "Be ye perfect." In the evening, Rev. W. A. Ferguson called attention to Hosea 5:ix, "What will ye do in the solemn day?"

The preachers to-day are the Rev. C. K. Fleming and Rev. A. B. Richardson.

Two Young Girls Victimized. Sarah Kerd and Eva Pence, two young girls from Millville, Sunday, told a strange tale to Recorder Leedom, of Atlantic City. They came down on

an excursion Saturday, but missed the return train and were wandering on the boardwalk when they made the acquaintance of two young men. After giving the girls liquor, the young men induced them to go through the form of a marriage. The night was spent in an alleged boarding house and in the morning the supposed husbands deserted their victims. The girls could not remember the names of the men, nor the place where they stopped. Recorder Leedom sent them home. For sale, or exchange for real estate, a nice driving or saddle pony, suitable for children. "R," Sentinel Office. [Communicated.] The Sunday Question. The following is a communication from a citizen of Ocean City, in regard to the introduction of an Ordinance at the last meeting of Council, which provided that the butchers, bakers and fishmen should be allowed to deliver their goods before 7 a. m. on Sundays. "I want to keep the people of Ocean City acquainted with some incidents that are transpiring in their midst, and the facts relative to such incidents and I take the liberty of using your columns to published these facts. At the commencement of this season the Mayor notified the agent of the Union Transfer Company that the company would not be allowed to run its express wagons on Sunday, unless to deliver milk or in a case of extreme necessity, where baggage had been miscarried and failed to reach here on Saturday night. The agent at once acceded to the Mayor's notice, but called attention to the butcher's wagons running on Sunday, claiming he had the same right to run on Sunday that they had. The Mayor notified the butchers of the fact. Two of them did not intend to run wagons on Sunday, and another had done it but two or three times and

all consented readily to the Mayor's re-

quest with the exception of George Myers, a man who carries on a business in Atlantic City and who came here at the commencement of the season and opened a meat and produce market, placing a young man at the head of it, with instructions to run his wagon on Sunday. When he was notified by the Mayor not to do so, he paid no attention to the notice.

The Mayor prosecuted him for it, but paid no attention to that except to em-

ploy a lawyer to take charge of the case. He was convicted of the second and third offense and when pressed for the collection of the penalty his lawyer went around among the business men of the place and tried to get them to club together to pay Mr. Myers' fine and to help break down the Sunday laws and to contend against the Mayor. This same lawyer told the Mayor that if he insisted on collecting the fine that he would make him prosecute every case that did not conform strictly to the Sunday laws of the State, including the electric light plant and the running of the cars on the West Jersey Railroad. Said he, "I will make you do it."

For some reason this same lawyer had the aforesaid young man that was

doing business for George Myers enter a sworn complaint against four men for delivering goods out of a basket on Sun-

day, and without a particle of evidence had these cases brought to trial and suffered a non-suit on the whole four cases without the last three being called up. On the evening of the same day that this failure occurred, the same lawyer presented, and was there in person to advocate the passage of an ordinance permitting all persons concerned

to deliver meat, fish, etc., before seven o'clock on Sunday morning.

This ordinance did not meet the approbation of all of the councilmen, but was urged to a reading, and passed to its third reading by two of the councilmen doing all the voting in its favor; one voting against it all the time, and one man not voting. Now it seems to me that this ordinance is gotten up to antagonize our

Sabbath rules, and for the benefit of one man who has no interest here, does not reside here, but wishes only to get all the dollars he can out of the people. None of the other butchers want to run their wagons. While this ordinance will not prevent any one from being prosecuted for selling goods or doing other secular work on Sunday before 7 o'clock, it is gotten up to incline public opinion towards violation of the State laws, and to create a sympathy for those who violate them, and to weaken the influence of the officers, and in a measure to tie their hands. The final reading of this ordinance ought to be remonstrated against by every good and loyal citizen of this place. What has made Ocean City what it is? Primarily, it is because of its moral and temperance principles which were at first established, and have ever since been maintained. Ocean City has been built up under them. Slowly at first, but laterly beyond all precedent, and to-day Ocean City far outstrips in improvements any other resort of its age on the New Jersey coast. The people have become acquainted with, and love the quiet and the moral influence of the place, and do not hesitate to secure homes for themselves and families, feeling assured that it is a good place to bring their wives and children. It is to be hoped that the municipal officers are in earnest in their endeavors to maintain the principles on which this city was founded, and it seems to me that every measure that is directed towards the relinquishing or breaking of any of those principles ought to be carefully considered. A RESIDENT.

When to Return to the City.

Do not, unless it is necessary, return too early to the city, as the little ones are apt to feel the change if the hot weather which we usually have in September, has not yet passed. Where it is possible the 1st of October is early enough to return, and it should be borne in mind even after that how necessary the fresh air is to children, and let them be taken to the squares at least two hours in the morning and

afternoon, so that they may not too greatly miss the pleasant freedom they

have enjoyed during the summer. Children who have been so fortunate as to spend the heated season at the shore are less liable to cold and disease in winter than are those less fortunately circumstanced. A Battle for Life. The body of Michael Shevlin who was drowned by the upsetting of the yacht Annie May off Atlantic City on August 6th was washed shore opposite the spot where he was drowned yesterday.

Samuel Reed, of 1934 Federal street, Philadelphia, who with his 3-year-old

son Horace formed one of the party of pleasure-seekers with Shevlin and was rescued from the capsized yacht, is under the care of a physician, suffering from nervous prostration. He has been in a bad condition since the accident, when he had a terrible fight for life with Michael Shevlin, Eighth and Norris streets, Philadelphia. Reed, according to his physician's orders, does not talk about the accident, nor does he allow his mind to rest on the details. His wife, however, says that he had a narrow escape from death and that his mind is a blank from the time he left Atlantic City Sunday night until he reached his home. Reed took his boy to the shore for a day's outing, and in the afternoon they went aboard

the Annie May for an hour's sail on the ocean. Reed found four men and two

boys beside the captain and his grandson. He knew none of the other passengers and had seen none of them until he boarded the boat. The sail was hoisted and the catboat sped away to sea. On the return trip the wind was against them and the boat made but little headway. When nearing the Inlet, Reed called Captain Somers' attention to the large waves that were breaking over the bar, but the captain

thought that everything was safe and he reassured his passengers.

When the bar was close at hand, Reed's son was asleep on the slot, and

Shevlin was reclining nearby with a paper over his face. Reed saw three breakers come rolling along one after the other, the last larger than the others. The first and second passed, and the Annie May fell off in the trough of the sea. The third breaker caught her broadside on, and in an instant her passengers were struggling in the water. It was then that the fight for life began. Reed's son was feebly struggling some distance from the father, who made every effort to reach him. He secured a hold on the thwarts of the boat and was collecting his wits, when he says he was seized by Shevlin, who in his fright tried to push him away from the boat. It was two lives or one, for Mr. Reed had his son to care for as well as himself, and he struggled for the

mastery with a strength born of despair. By this time the child had dis-

appeared and the father was in agony. He still struggled with Shevlin, who fastened his teeth in Reed's right arm till the blood came. Suffering with the pain of the bite, Reed grappled with Shevlin, who again buried his

teeth in Reed's left hand. Reed almost fainted with pain, but almost instantly Shevlin released his hold and drifted

away and Reed says he saw him sink out of sight. Reed says the look on Shevlin's face was something terrible; his body was doubled up and he went down like a shot.

A second later Reed saw his child, which had gone down in the ocean before his eyes, brought safely to the capsized boat by the skipper's grandson, who dived for him. He was unconscious but, after being taken ashore and restoratives applied, soon recovered.

Sunday night Reed drove up to his door in a cab. His son was with him. He entered the house and his wife noticed that he was dazed. She asked him the trouble, and bit by bit the terrible truth of his struggle for life came out. Two hours later Reed was found at his door by two policemen, who car-

ried him to bed. A doctor was sent for and a watch was placed over the sick man, as his condition was too serious

to have left him alone. Sleep would not come, so morphine was given him and he was kept under its influence

until Monday afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday numbers of friends called and Reed recounted his adventures so often that they affected him so that he nearly had a relapse Wednesday night. His physician thinks that with care Mr. Reed will pull through.

Coroner Ingersoll has been ordered by Prosecutor Perry not to issue any certificate until the case is fully aired, as there is a suspicion of criminal neglect, it being claimed that on the day of the accident Captain Somers was in an intoxicated condition. This the captain vigorously denies. The Prosecutor scores some of the Inlet captains for carelessness in handling their boats.

No Case. At the hearing Friday of the case of the State vs. John Christian, Walter Hoyt, George Breckley and John Morris was short and decisive, and it did not require much deliberation on the part of the jury to decide that there was no case.

John McGarigle, who brought the charges against the above mentioned persons for delivering goods on the Sab-

bath, was sworn and examined on the first bill. Eugene Cole was counsel for the defendants, and in response to his questioning it quickly transpired that John had brought his charges on very slender evidence. He had seen defendant with a basket; he was sure it was a basket, but whether or not defendant was delivering goods, or even whether there was anything in the basket carried, was beyond John's ken.

So the jury quickly decided on "no case," and in response to the request of Mr. Cole, the other charges, which were similar, were dismissed by Mayor Moore.

The South Jersey Sued.

Suit was entered in the Common Pleas Court of Philadelphia, Monday by General William J. Sewell, vice president of the West Jersey Railroad, against Logan M. Bullitt, of the South Jersey Railroad, to recover $62,500 with interest, from June 30, 1893, alleged to be due under a contract dated that day. This contract was between Mr. Sewell, representing the West Jersey Railroad, the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Phila-

delphia and Seashore Railroad and the Tuckahoe and Cape May Railroad on the one part, and Mr. Bullitt and the Trust Company of North America on the other parts. General Sewell agreed to sell Mr. Bullitt the Seashore Railroad for $200,000, $75,000 payable in cash when the agreement was executed and the remaining $125,000 in two installments of $62,500 each, payable 30 and 60 days later respectively. The Trust Company of North America guaranteed the payment of these later

installments should Mr. Bullitt fail to do so. Mr. Sewell now alleges that Mr. Bullitt failed to pay one of these $62,500 installments, and brings suit to recover the same.

Mr. Bullitt, when seen last evening, said that the installment of $62,500 sued for was not due until August 29th.

"We will be able," he further stated, "to make the payment before August 29th, if necessary. This suit is simply an effort to injure our credit and handicap us in the management of our business, because, since we have assumed control of the road, we have practically controlled the entire business to and from Sea Isle City. We carry six passengers to their one, and do practically all the freight and express business."
