OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 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. The infant child of Harry Rudolph died Saturday morning, aged about two months. The Knights of the Golden Eagle of South Jersey had possession of Atlantic City Thursday. John Camp and Elwood Price were each fined $12.00 for fishing with a net at Atlantic City. Frank Smith and a companion from Philadelphia were rescued from drowning at Atlantic City Thursday. City Solicitor Endicott, of Atlantic City, has decided the street-paving legislation for that place unconstitutional. A package party at the Hotel Traymore, Atlantic City, for the benefit of the Children's Seashore Home, netted $46.25. Strolling musicians have found their way to Ocean City, treating our citi-

zens to violin music with harp accompaniment.

Albert Hughes, the oldest Delaware pilot on the retired list, died Friday evening at Cape May, aged 83 years. He was a man of influence and means.

The weakfish have come and in plenteous numbers and anglers can now go forth in quest of the "sea trout." It is one of the prettiest fish, by the way, that swims in salt water. William Bent, claiming to be a son of Senator Vance, of North Carolina, left Atlantic City with $54, which he had collected for William H. Smith.

He was arrested in Harrisburg Wednesday night.

Quite a good deal of interest was ex-

cited Tuesday morning by a boat race in the surf by two boats rowed by bathers.

The occupants of Schurch's boat were badly beaten by the others, who rowed a good race.

The Board of Directors of the Brigantine Land Company organized by the election of Tunis G. Bergen, president; J. A. McKee, vice president; Samuel R. Shipley, treasurer, and G. M. VanHoesen, secretary.

Stonehill & Adams have put down a first-class concrete pavement in front of

the SENTINEL building, which is quite an ornament to the building and a

credit to the workmanship of the gen-

tlemen composing the above firm.

The Sheriff's sale of the property of the Inlet Park Association, of Atlantic City, arranged for Thursday, was post-

poned for twelve days at the request of the Betz Brewing Company, who wish to prove ownership of the chattels.

The arrival of a bird that has not been here before this season was noticed the other night. The birds, which are called "Willets," migrate in the night, and in the evening their calls sound somewhat like a lad whistling. Kildeer and snipe are being shot along the Jersey coast, and several Ocean City gunners have had their fingers in the pie. An old Nimrod who came in the other day with a game full of victims says that they are as good eating as any game bird that flies. A large number of pleasure-seekers went from this place to Atlantic City Monday afternoon and evening to

witness the two performances of "The Greatest Show on Earth"--which show

is the old, old circus; the "greatest" probably meaning in point of age as to the program. A very large school of porpoises was visible in the surf Friday morning, opposite Adams' pavilion. They were but a hundred and fifty yards from shore, and one old fellow seemed for awhile to have made up his mind to come all the way in and pay a visit to the merry-go-round. An open safe was too great a temptation for Night Watchman William

Mott, of the Oriental Hotel, Atlantic City, and he stole $265 in money, three

tickets to Harrisburg, three to Balti-

more, two watches, a revolver and other articles. He was arrested Wednes-

day morning as he was about to take a train and held in $1,000 bail.

One of the electric cars, while spin-

ning along over the trestle work up near the point of beach, slipped the rail and was thrown from the track. Fortunately a guard rail had recently been

built by the side of the car-rail, and in consequence the car was saved

from being deposited upside down in the water. Nothing resulted any more

serious than the delay of traffic for a few hours.

Mrs. Susan Radford, of No. 1142 Brown street, Philadelphia, got beyond

her depth while bathing in the sluice at the foot of Virginia avenue, Atlantic City, Wednesday, and when rescued was apparently lifeless. It required sev-

eral hours of hard work by physicians before she showed signs of life. Misses

Minnie Bishop and Maggie Wood, of Philadelphia, were also rescued from drowning by life guards.

Law Judge Joseph Thompson, of Atlantic City, has called a special term of Court, to convene at May's Landing to-morrow, to try the following per-

sons who have waived their right to trial by jury: Edward L. Charles, Shannon McAllister, William Vauzant, Jul-

ius Birdall, all charged with larceny; William Henderson, assault and battery; Joseph A. Quigg and Clifton England, grand larceny, and John Dennis, indecent assault.

Paper hanging, decorating, painting, graining and sign writing. All work guaranteed at Smith's, 6th and Asbury.

Farewell Services. Sunday was probably the greatest day ever seen on the Ocean City Camp

Ground. All the services from early morning to late at night were crowded

by eager, enthusiastic worshipers. From near and far they came, repre-

senting almost every denomination. The Quaker, the Methodist, the Bap-

tist, the Presbyterian, the Episcopalian, All joined heartily in the exercises. Quakers sang, and Presbyterians and

Episcopalians told their experiences as fervently as their more demonstrative Methodist brethren and sisters. Denominational lines were blotted out in the one common worship of the one Christ.

Never was such singing heard. It was as the sound of many waters; never were testimonies more interest-

ing and helpful; never were more people profited than in this year's Camp Meeting.

President Lake has many reasons for self-congratulation upon his able direction of all the work and was ex-

tremely happy Sunday night as he announced the conversion of over

twenty persons in the various meetings of the week. All the ministers were

faithful and earnest in their work and were greatly inspired by the willing-

ness of Christians of every denomina-

tion to help in the work. A new era has evidently begun in the history of

this Camp Meeting. Crowds, delighted crowds this year mean much larger crowds next year. Dr. Lake assured the audi-

ence last night at the closing service, that next year's programme of services would excel that of this year.

Miss Sharp, who so ably directed the 9 o'clock prayer and testimony meeting,

and the 4 o'clock childrens' meeting is likely to return next year to do similar

work. A larger corps of able ministers will be secured, in which a number of denominations will be represented. The preacher Sunday was the Rev. William Swindells, D. D., pastor of the Kensington M. E. Church, Philadelphia. The Doctor, is one of the most

prominent men in Methodism to-day. For many years he has been recognized

as a leader among the great camp meeting preachers, has been presiding

elder for two or three terms, and a member of the General Con-

ference of the M. E. Church five or six times. His fame had preceeded

him to Ocean City and everybody's expectations were at a high point. Suf-

fice to say that the doctor, more than met the expectations of his vast audi-

ences. The Vernon children were quite an attraction at both morning

and evening services. The Testimony and Childrens' services were all at-

tended and full of interest. The Young Peoples' Meeting was the largest yet held; scores stood outside unable to gain admission. This feature of the camp meeting though but two years old has already secured a large place in

the affections of the youth of this camp meeting.

The beach-meeting, which occurred at seven o'clock was perhaps the

pleasantest service of the day and was attended by a larger crowd than has been present at any other of these meet-

ings. A steady stream of people filed along the boardwalk and avenues leading to the pavilion for some time previous to the opening and after the

commencement of the service. When they were all gathered, some on the

pavilion and walk, and a multitude of men, women and children sitting about

on the sand in a silence broken only by the voice of the speaker and the accom-

paniment of the waves, it was a picturesque and impressive scene. Rev. Dr. Swindells addressed the meeting, and

the ringing tones of his earnest speech could be heard by all. Several hymns were sung, and Miss Edith Mills sang with much sweetness the verses of "Not half has ever been told", the assemblage joining in the chorus. The services of the day were successful beyond expectation, and at fifteen minutes of ten o'clock in the evening the last doxology was sung, the final benediction pronounced, and so closed

the greatest of all the Camp Meetings held in Ocean City--the Meeting of '93.

The Traymore Dance.

A delightful dance was given at the Traymore Thursday night and was attended by one of the largest crowds of the season. Guests from the Brighton, Wesley and other hotels, and many of the cottagers, with the guests of the Traymore, mingled in the mazy dance and glided through several happy hours. The programme, which was long and well arranged, was furnished by the Ocean City Cornet Band, and their rendering of the pretty and sprightly dance music was enjoyed not only by the younger element, but was listened to by the staid and older folks who sat in chairs on the Traymore verandah. The hesitation and diffidence attendant on most of the dances that have been held this season did not mar the success of the occasion, and everyone seemed intent on having a good time. The costume of the ladies were very pretty and the dancing was kept up until a late hour. Among those who attended were Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Ward, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. George W. Maxon, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Maslaud, George W. Roland, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Mickle, Miss Gill, Miss Mullholland, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Hill, John B. Radcliffe, George W. Fling, George B. Owen, J. Bell, Miss Millie Roland, William Reed, Dr. Bartine, Jr., S. S. Stinson, Mr. and Mrs. George Me-

gargee, Miss Emma Megargee, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Stern, the Misses Boles, Miss

Tacie Megargee, Miss Lyons, Miss Mills, Miss Johnson, Miss Ervin, the Misses Guldin, Mrs. and Miss Johnson and others.

Miss Lizzie Sharp. There are few people who are better able to speak upon the subject of the

"Conversion of Children" than Miss Lizzie Sharp, the well and widely known Evangelist who was at this

place taking part in the religious meetings.

For fifteen years Miss Sharp has labored in the field of Evangelism, and in that time has had an unusual expe-

rience in the Christian teaching of children, and a very large number of the souls that she has been instru-

mental in saving from sin have been those of little children.

In speaking yesterday upon the conversion of children, Miss Sharp said "It is not easy to determine at what age a child can discriminate properly, but it is certain that as soon as they know the difference between right and wrong --when they can feel that they are not as good as they ought to be, that a child

is not too young for conversion, and to realize the meaning of giving his heart to God."

"I myself," continued the Evangelist, "was impressed at the age of five with

the knowledge that I was not as good as I should have been, and commenced

asking myself if I ought not to turn to the church. A spirit seemed to urge

me not to; but the questionings of self would not cease, and so in this way, reasoning even at that age for myself, I was brought to my Maker."

"Home influence and the training there received," said Miss Sharp, "are

most important of all that can be done to determine a child's future, and whether or not the child's life is bent in the right way depends more on

these early impressions than upon all else. Before the children arrive at ten

years of age, before habits have been formed that have to be fought against, is the time to urge them to accept the Christian life.

"As the ancient Jews circumcised their young in infancy, so should we commence as soon as our children can talk to teach them in the right, and if

properly cared for and trained at home the lessons thus learned will never leave them."

To illustrate the strength of this train-

ing at home, Miss Sharp told of an evangelist of her acquaintance, who, when he commenced his career as a minister of the gospel, was successful

and at the head of many good charges. But having a love for strong drink, he

gave up his work, wandered away from his people, and remained many years leading a sinful and vicious life.

One day, in a far western town, he was walking along the street when he heard something that made him pause

and think of the past. It was "Home, Sweet Home," and was being played

on a little street organ by an old woman, and this immortal tune that has so

often carried the thoughts of sinful men back to the innocence and brightness of youth, that has brought the bitter tears to the eyes of the wanderer, turned

the thoughts of the wayward evangelist back to the scenes of his early life. An

irresistible desire borne from the beauty of the old song, led him to return to his home. He returned, and it so happened that his mother and father were attending a prayer meeting on the night of his arrival. He went to the church and listened at the doorway. He heard the

voice of the minister as he asked all those in the congregation who wished

to pray for their children to come to the altar, and soon his own mother and father, bowed and changed in his ab-

sence, went to the altar and knelt.

Slowly, sadly, the wanderer walked up the aisle, and obeying the impulse of his heart, he went forward and knelt between the mother and father, as in youth he had so often done.

Continuing her talk of the children, Miss Sharp said, "Some children know a great deal more at the age of five than

others do at eight or nine, but the hearts of nearly all children between

these ages are susceptible to Divine impression."

In speaking of children without homes or early training, Miss Sharp

said that she had often come in contact with children raised with no religious

care, who, like hardy little flowers by the wayside, had, without the advan-

tage of careful cultivation, become beau-

tiful and had wandered into the church, even though living in homes of sin, and

often in their youth, and under such circumstances, they had died triumph-

ant deaths. The saving of such souls as these was often due to the work of a faithful Sunday-school teacher.

In speaking of the method of in-

struction she adopts with children, the evangelist said that care should be taken

not to say too much--more than their little minds could receive, and that she had found object lessons of great use in their teaching.

Miss Sharp, during the years she has been working in her calling, has visited

the States of Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsyl-

vania, and is now one of the most widely known of Evangelists, her work being

with grown people quite as much as with children.

It is not difficult to understand the reason of her success, after one has had the pleasure of conversing with this woman. As she talks, her winning face glows with the power of her words. She speaks with grace and simplicity, but above all the sincerity and earnestness, and conviction of her teachings impress upon one that he is talking with a true disciple of Christ.

Dangerously Injured. A distressing accident occurred Monday evening at about 6 o'clock, just after the train on the South Jersey Short Line left Sea Isle City, and as the result of it, John Krouse, a switchman,

who has charge of the switch at the new bridge, was brought to this city with a badly broken leg, the fracture being just

above the ankle, and so badly displaced that the bone protruded from the skin.

The facts in regard to the matter are these: It has been the custom of Mr.

Krouse to have his supper brought from Sea Isle City, which is his home, by the train leaving there a little before 5

o'clock in the evening. The basket containing his meal, and a tin kettle

filled with coffee were always handed him by the fireman, while the train slowed up to allow him to get them safely. Monday night, however, the regular fireman was off duty and the supper was given in charge of the brakeman. As the train neared the place where the switch-

man was accustomed to receive his basket, he noticed that the train did not slacken its speed.

On the platform of the last car the brakeman stood with kettle and basket

and held them out as the train went whirling by. Krouse leaned forward and caught them, but the brakeman held them just

a little too long, and the unfortunate switchman was caught by the momentum of the train and hurled down un-

der the bridge on the hard gravel be-

neath.

He landed on his feet, and, for a few moments could not realize any pain

but as he tried to step forward his foot turned over and he found he could not

walk. The bone was very badly broken, cutting through the skin and shoe.

Krouse was taken in charge by William Peterson, known all along the coast as "Uncle Billy," of Corson's Inlet. Uncle Billy, who is one of the kindliest men along the coast, dressed

the leg as best he could, and taking a cot from his house, rigged up a convey-

ance for the injured man and brought him to Ocean City on the train. Drs. J. S. Waggoner and J. H. Willetts, with the aid of D. E. Smith, a young

medical student, who volunteered as-

sistance, re-dressed the leg and fixed it in temporary splints, and decided it

would be best to wait until Tuesday morning and send the patient to Cooper

Hospital, Camden, as no instruments were available to use in removing a part of the bone which the Doctor

decided would be necessary.

A great deal of praise is due to largehearted Uncle Billy, who not only dressed Krouse's leg and brought him to this place, but also stayed with the sufferer all night and did everything in his power to ease his pain.

Assistance was also rendered by Marshall Harry Conver, who did all he

could to provide for the comfort of the wounded man. The Grand Army men of this place, too, headed by Harry Reinhart, learning that the injured switchman was a member of the G. A. R., extended their assistance. The Brighton's Euchre Party. One of the most successful and best arranged progressive euchre parties of the season took place Thursday night in the parlors of the Brighton. Like all the entertainments given by this hotel, it was thoroughly enjoyed and there was a keen competition for the prizes. The playing, which was above the average skill of progressive games, was indulged in by the following: Mr.

Coolbaugh, Jr., H. Jones, W. Huber, W. Hillborn, H. Flinn, W. S. Groover, F. R. Kellner, S. Alexander, S. E. Carter, C. W. Taylor, H. P. Statzell, H. W.

McFetridge, Charles S. Rogers, C. W. Taylor, Jr., U. S. McDowell, George Sooy, Mrs. W. M. McKaig, Jr., Mrs. E. S. McDowell, Mrs. S. E. Carter, Mrs. W. Street, Mrs. C. S. Jones, Mrs. Lumis, Mrs. Hillborn, Mrs. Huber, Mrs. Schimpe, Mrs. Boyd, Mrs. Marot, and the Misses Taylor, Richardson, McBirney, Mira V. Dix and Beichtel. The prizes, exceptionally handsome and well selected, were won as follows: Lady's first prize, a Japanese dish, Mrs. C. S. Jones; the second prize a Japanese teapot, Mrs. E. S. McDowell. The gentleman's first prize, a fine leather wallet, was won by Mr. Hillborn, and the second prize, a smoking set, by Mr. Coolbaugh, Sr. A Pitiful Appeal for Cash. The following pathetic appeal for money was clipped from the Selma, Ala., Daily Journal, and it undoubtedly voices the sentiments of the majority of country journalists: "Forward, turn forward, oh time in your flight; turn me a fortune and get me up right. I am weary of running in debt for my clothes, and owing for the grub that down my throat goes. Weary of working for what I have not; weary of working for what I have got. Never, no never turn backward for me, for well I remember my good mother's knee; I remember, the slipper came down with a slam, whenever I got in the blackberry jam. The days, too, at school, were a terrible bore,

when I was obliged to stand on the floor; and all in the world that ever I

done, was to wink at a girl--as a matter of fun. The days of the past, like the days that we meet, composed a fair mixture of bitter and sweet. So, forward, turn forward, oh time in your way, and give me some cash, just enough for to-day."

A Trip to Beesley's Point.

What was at first intended to be a yacht race developed into a very pleas-

and excursion, when the seven little

yachts left their moorings Wednesday laden with passengers of the fair sex.

It was concluded before starting that no attempt would be made to race, or

cover the course in any given time, and the race that was eagerly looked for will probably occur sometime next week. The following yachts started yesterday: Irena, Elsie, Elma, Brighton, Beulah, E. L. Sack and Spray. They started from the yachting wharf and took the route past Somers' Point to Beesley's Point and return. A stop was made at Beasley's Point where all hands went to an orchard and helped

themselves to some fine apples. The ladies say they enjoyed the trip immensely and wish to repeat it in the near future.

Death of Jean Belle Davis. Jean Belle, the 12-year-old daughter of Dr. W. A. Davis, who resides at the corner of Central avenue and First street, died this morning from the effects of a cold taken while recovering from a mild attack of scarlet fever. She bore her sufferings heroically; but while nothing that medical science and love

could suggest was left undone, the inevitable could not be stayed, and death came to the relief of the little sufferer. "Jean," as she was familiarly called, was a great favorite among her youthful friends, as she was possessed of a sunny disposition which she seemed to impart to those with whom she came

in contact. Her death has cast a shadow over the household which will not easily be dispelled. The bereaved family have the sympathies of this community in their sad affliction.
