Long, of Selma, Alabama, has improved in health so much since her arrival in Ocean City that she has concluded to remain here some time longer as the guest of her brother, Squire Myers. The hosiery factory of Caltrell & Wolfenden, at Hammonton, has closed for an indefinite period. The stringency

of the money market and the uncer-

tainty of Congressional action are given as the causes.

Robert Folwell was arrested at Atlan-

tic City on Saturday night for creating a disturbance on the street, during

which Letter Carrier William Colligan was struck in the head with a club and seriously injured.

Those who prefer bathing in the after-

noon, and with the high tide, will observe with pleasure that the bathing will be fine all of this week during the latter part of the day, while the morning tide will be in every morning before seven o'clock.

Congressmen Cannon Post, Durbor-

row, Aldrick, Payne, of New York; Geary, Mercer, Doolittle, Babcock, Barnes, Morgan and Henderson arriv-

ed at Congress Hall, Cape May, Friday evening from the Capitol for a few days' fishing and sea bathing.

An oyster and pot-pie supper and festival will be given this afternoon and

evening at Corson's Grove, Palermo, for the benefit of the Baptist church. The

concomitants will be there in profusion. Should the weather prove stormy it will be postponed until the next fair day.

A mad dog scare prevails in Lower Cape May. A few days ago a rabid

dog was killed in West Cape May after it had bitten several other dogs, which

have also been killed. Public proclamation calls upon owners to muzzle dogs at large, under penalty of having them killed by official authority.

A brand new yacht made her appearance on the bay Friday, and was admired by all yachtsmen and land-

lubbers alike. She is built on considerably more modern lines than the yachts of this place, and is beautiful

from topmast to keel. She carries a good deal of salt, and flies a pennant of club colors.

A merry party, composed of A. J. Freeman, William Reed, Mrs. Thompson, Miss Erin, Miss Bartine, Mrs. Wade and Miss Lyons went bathing Friday afternoon in the bay at the beach point. The water was delightfully warm and the change from the usual bath with breakers was enjoyed, especially by the ladies. Miss Nancy Eldridge, of Philadelphia, is visiting her friend, Miss Emma

Megargee, at the latter's cottage on Wesley avenue. Miss Nancy is one of

the few young women who can handle a fishing line dextrously, and will go

"outside" as soon as the elements per-

mit. Not only can she lift the gentle weakfish out of the water, but can handle a goodly sized bluefish single-handed. Much alarm was felt last night about the disappearance of a child of Howard Schermerhorn, who lives on Central avenue, between Twelfth and Thirteenth. For a long while a party looked for the little one and its nurse in vain, and becoming considerably worried, were about to sound a general

alarm when both the child and its guardian were found sleeping in a nook

that was sheltered from the storm, not far from the house.

Washington Light Infantry. The greeting tendered the Washington Light Infantry on their arrival at Atlantic City early Sunday morning was but another evidence of the high

favor in which this popular organiza-

tion is held there. They were scheduled to arrive at 10 o'clock Saturday evening,

but delays incident to the transfer of baggage at Camden held the train back to such an extent that it was 12.15 a. m. Sunday morning when it rolled into the Pennsylvania station. The Citi-

zens' Committee, Company F. N. G. N. J.; the Morris Guards and Company D, Third Regiment, N. G. Pa., who had been on the street since 9 o'clock awaiting their arrival, were pres-

ent to receive them, and were drawn in company front to salute the soldier boys from Washington. The Reception

Committee then passed to the head of the line, when the march was taken up

to the camping grounds at the foot of Delaware avenue, on the St. Charles Hotel lawn.

The lateness of the hour had but little effect on the spectators, and thousands

of them lined the streets on either side, applauding, discharging fireworks and

colored lights, and in other ways show-

ing their patriotism. The houses along the line of march were profusely decor-

ated. When the camping grounds were reached Senator Hoffman, in behalf of Mayor Wright, who could not be present, tendered the visitors the freedom

of the city, to which Colonel M. E. Moore responded for the Washingtonians. In the company are 19 members of the Washington Light Infantry and 67 members of the War Department rifles. The officers are Colonel W. S. Moore, Major Benton Ross, Captains Wilson, Letter, Miller, Ourand, Kelly, Brightrod, Ebeit, Child, Lieutenants

Arnold, Shreve, Carroll, Keough, Keller, Quartermaster Sergeant O. V.

Thomas, Sergeant Major J. F. Grant, Color Sergeant E. P. Humphrey and Surgeon Charles R. Lufe. The camp is divided into two battalions, the first in charge of Major Ross, and the other directed by Captain Wilson. Strict

military rule. At 6 a. m. the reveille will sound; guard mount is at 9 a. m.

and the evening dress parade at 6 p. m.

Camp Allison Nailor will be the centre of social as well as military

affairs. During the infantry's stay many entertainments have been arranged for their benefit.

A full dress parade was given at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening on the lawn in front of the tented field at the foot of Delaware avenue. It was witnessed by a large crowd of people from the hotels and received applause. A Close Call. An object lesson was given a large gathering of people on the beach and

boardwalk Wednesday in foolhardi-

ness in bathing, when two boys, Neil Franklin and Joseph Andorfer, were thrown down by the surf, and quickly overcome. The two boys had been playing in the water for quite a while, and either becoming more and more careless, or in ignorance of their danger, they made their way past the other bathers and out into the deep surf. Here they sported a few minutes, and found that the current was too strong

for them, and was carrying them out faster than they could come in. The

heavy surf commenced to break on them and they were soon knocked down and overcome. They called for assistance, and the life-line was taken out to them very quickly by several of the bathers, and

the boys were brought, very much frightened and exhausted, to the beach. A gentleman who saw the occurrence said that the boys had been altogether too heedless, and that they could congratulate themselves that they got off so easily. The surf, he said, was too

rough for even a strong man to venture out in, and the lads went beyond the place where most of the bathers remained.

A lesson should be taken from this occurrence by those who are venture-

some in the breakers, and particularly those who tried to go out during the high tide on Tuesday. A few persons, also, who were in the surf last evening

after dark, can now understand how great a risk they assumed in bathing at a time when, if they needed aid, no one could reach them, and at a time, too,

when the sea, as the result of an ocean storm, is rougher than it has been for months.

Workers of the Queer.

Workers of the "queer" invaded At-

lantic City on Saturday, and during their brief sojourn managed to float

several hundred dollars of fraudulent $5 bills--silver certificates. The counter-

feits were first run across at the National banks, the eagle eye and practiced touch of the receiving tellers sifting them out by the dozen during the course of the

day's business. They were all stamped "counterfeit" with red ink and re-

turned to the depositors. Cashier Quigley, of the Atlantic City National Bank, said that the general appearance of the note was good. The paper was bad and would instantly at-

tract attention from any person accustomed to handling money. The red seal was good in color and execution,

but the vignette of General Grant was poorly executed, the nose being flat and broad and the countenance somewhat

debilitated looking. The counterfeit was of the 1886 act of August 4, of that year, and signed, "E. H. Nebeker, Treasurer," and "W. S. Rosecrans, Register." The number was B79718987.

The Union Transfer Company Baggage Express will call at residences and hotels in Ocean City and check baggage

through to destination, whereby the passenger will avoid all trouble of checking at railroad station. Orders for baggage can be left at railroad depot. J. P. MURPHY, Gen. Supt. JOHN REEMER, Agent. Found in Camp with Gipsies. Stretched out upon a bench in a gipsy camp in the woods at Fiftysecond and Spruce streets, Philadelphia,

a policeman at 10 o'clock on Sunday night found Emma Vader, the well-

known actress who recently created a series of sensations at an Atlantic City hotel, where she became insane last month. She made a desperate fight against arrest, and battled fiercely while being taken to the Presbyterian Hospital in that city. It was shortly before 10 o'clock Sunday night when a strange man told Policeman Cain, of the Twenty-first district, that a strange woman, well dressed and apparently respectable, had been wandering through the woods during the evening, and had finally thrown herself upon an old bench in a little camp of gipsies. The policeman found her there, and when he went to arouse her from what seemed to be a semi-conscious condition, she jumped to her feet and in a dramatic manner shrieked: "Stand back, you coward!" He had summoned a patrol wagon before running to the woods, and the officer parleyed with the excited woman while he waited for the clang of the bell

that would announce the coming of as-

sistance. He induced her to walk out of the woods with him, but when the

patrol wagon arrived and Policeman Cain quietly asked her to get in she turned and demanded her freedom with savage fury. With the assistance of the men on the patrol the woman finally

seated in the wagon, but not without a fierce struggle.

As the wagon started she tried to leap out, but the patrol sergeant and his brother officer held her, while the driver sent the horses galloping to the nearest

hospital, the Presbyterian. She became quieter as the wagon dashed up at the

hospital entrance, but when she was led into the brightly-lighted hallway she became frightfully enraged, and re-

fused to give her name or address.

"Where do you live?" asked one of the physicians.

"Live? My home, sir, is the poor-house," she said, with tragic force.

She was taken upstairs to a private room, and when two women nurses started to remove her clothing she de-

nounced them in the wildest language and attacked them like a maddened tigress. Two other nurses ran to their aid, but she fought so savagely that Dr. Arnold was hurriedly called in. This further enraged the struggling

woman. She called the physician the vilest names and battled to free herself,

but was finally overpowered and placed in bed. Under the effect of opiates she soon fell into a slumber.

Her dress was of a neat brown ma-

terial. She wore a broad-brimmed straw hat and slippers. In a black silk handbag she carried a Catholic prayer book and a hymnal. In the prayer book was her name, "Emma Vaders," and entries dated Atlantic City, July ----; Philadelphia Hospital, July ----, and Kirkbride's, August 16.

Miss Vaders' clothing was fresh and clean and she did not look as if she had been wandering about a long while. She was suffering from a hysterical mania and the doctors at the Presby-

terian Hospital said she would be kept there until this morning, when the po-

lice will communicate with her family.

Criminal Court. A special term of the Atlantic county Criminal Court for the trial of cases was

held at May's Landing last week, Law Judge Thompson and Lay Judges Byrnes and Senseman presiding. Thir-

teen cases were tried, and Prosecutor Perry and his assistant, Mr. Henkle, secured the conviction of eight of the defendants.

Dance at the Brighton.

A delightful dance was given by the Hotel Brighton Saturday night, and was enjoyed by so many guests and visitors that the floor was filled to over-

flowing. Old folks and young arrived in numbers during the whole evening --the old folks to look on and enjoy the sight of youth and maiden swaying in

the mazy waltz, and the young ones indulging in the waltz for the pleasure of dancing and being observed.

The evening's enjoyment did not commence until nearly nine o'clock, and it was long after eleven when the music of the final number died away. To the more staid onlookers who

have glided by that period in life when waltzing is the chief joy of life, the prettiest sight of the evening was the dainty and graceful dancing of the fair-haired

little girls of five years or more, a number of whom danced to nearly every number on the programme. The event of the evening was the

fancy dance executed by Laura Schimpf, a little girl about nine years old. One and all watched her with interest and pleasure as she swayed, skipped and pirouetted through one of those odd little latter-day dances that have now become so popular.

The little artist was attired in a very pretty gown of pink silk, with hose and little be-ribboned dancing slippers to match.

Another very sprightly little maiden, who was gowned similarly to Miss Schimpf, was Miss Emma Hillborn. These two were the centre of attraction when they danced several of the numbers together.

Among those who attended were: Dr. Reed, Wesley Bartine, 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. Mc-

Fetridge, Charles S. Rogers, C. W. Taylor, Jr., E. 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. Lummis, Mrs. Hillborn, Mrs. Huber, Mrs. Schimpf, Mrs. Boyd, Mrs. Marot, and the Misses Taylor, Richardson, McBir-

ney, Mira V. Dix, May Dix and Beich-

tel; Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Ward, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. George W. Maxon, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Masland, 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, Charles Munder, George B. Owen, J. Bell, Miss Millie Roland, Wil-

liam Reed, Howard Reed, William Winny, Mr. and Mrs. George Megargee, Miss Emma Megargee, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Stern, the Misses Boles, Miss Tacie Megargee, Miss Lyons, Miss Mills, Miss Johnson, Miss Ervin, the Misses Guldin, Mrs. and Miss Johnson, Miss Frank, Miss Dauphinee, the Misses Munder and others.

Services in the Auditorium.

In the absence Sunday of S. Wesley Lake, President of the Ocean City Association, his brother, James E. Lake, took charge of the services, which were

unusually interesting, and attended by very large congregations.

The sermon of the regular morning service was delivered by Bishop J. M. Walden, of the Methodist church, who resides in Cincinnati, Ohio. His text

was from Hebrews i:x, and was a very interesting and able discourse. The words of the text were as follows: "In bringing many sons unto Glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through suffering."

The speakers told how Christ, that he might the more fully experience the

trials of humanity, was made in the likeness of man, and took upon himself the form of a servant. His life was replete with sufferings, and this was the Captain of our salvation made perfect.

This service was concluded by the Rev. Dr. A. J. Kynett, who is Corres-

ponding Secretary of the Church Ex-

tension Society.

The Bible Class of Dr. Bartine held its meeting at the regular hour--2.30 p. m. Although the weather was dark and lowering a goodly number assembled at that favorite service, the Beach Meeting, held at 6.30 p. m. This service was led by Dr. Bartine, and was also ad-

dressed by Rev. Frederick B. Gruel, a Baptist divine, and a Mr. Moody. The talks were of interest and the service was rendered pleasant further by the singing of several beautiful old hymns.

The evening was occupied with ad-

dresses on the "Forward Movement of our Church"--the evangelizing of our cities, by Bishop Walden and Rev. J. E. Lake, the latter speaking with special

reference to this work in Camden, Mr. Lake being associated with the society having this work in charge in that city. Next Sunday, Rev. J. E. Smith, pas-

tor of the State Street Methodist Church, Trenton, will preach at both morning

and evening services. Mr. Smith is spoken of as a most eloquent and forceful speaker, and his sermons will no doubt be of benefit to all who attend. He Had a Narrow Escape. A Philadelphian who refused to give his name, but who is a guest at the Kentucky House, Atlantic City, was caught in the swirl of water beneath the pier at that place Monday morning and narrowly escaped drowning. His cries for assistance and struggling were witnessed by at least 1000 people. On the pier the excitement was intense, life preservers and other buoyant articles being tossed to him.

The man was rescued by Life Guard Repp and two other guards. The man's

arms were lacerated fearfully from clinging to the barnacled posts and bled freely. During the excitement on the pier, a boy accidentally was pushed overboard and had to be fished out by the guards.

urday, September 2d, 1893, at 1 o'clock p. m. LEWIS T. STEVENS, Secretary.

vated and rebuild 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. Federated Trades. The fifteenth annual congress of New Jersey Federation of Trades and Labor Unions was held in Holstein's Hall, Hoboken, Monday. The last Legislature was denounced as unfriendly to labor and Chairman McDonnell, of the Legislative Committee, took special pains to criticise the workings of President Adrain's private graveyard in the Senate. The following officers were elected: President, Samuel Holt, Lodge No. 325, Carpenters and Joiners' Union, of Passaic county; first vice-president, Wil-

liam Conklin, of Newark; second vicepresident, Frank L. Kreage, of Trenton; secretary, David H. Green, of Newark; assistant secretary, Simon Reichman, of Newark; treasurer, John F. Calvin, of Patterson; sergeant-at-arms, Henry H. Clegg, of Newark.

After the election the Legislative Committee's report was read and

it was punctuated with frequent applause. Chairman McDonnel said Speaker Flynn was a faithful friend of labor measures, but President of the Senate Robert Adrain was given an unmerciful scoring. To him was attributed most blame for the loss of most of the labor bills introduced. The committee made recommendations for the re-introduction, next term, of all bills defeated in the last Legisla-

ture; against the retention of any bill by the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, or any other officer of the Legislature; the formation of a central legislative committee; in favor of in-

creased powers from the State Board of Arbitration, and in favor of direct legislation, the initiative and referendum.
