Ocean City as a Watering Place. There is no time like the present for the accomplishment of almost any idea or undertaking, but the present is peculiarly well adapted to the illustration of the fact that there are very few places, if any, on the New Jersey coast that have the advantages possessed by Ocean City as a watering place. Just now--when the aftermath of one of the most terrible storms that has raged along the Jersey coast for a number of years, accompanied by a hurricane of wind and a deluge of rain, has hardly subsided--a storm that has ended many lives, wrecked a large number of ships, and accomplished thousands and thousands of dollars worth of damage at other resorts along the coast--there is no time so fitting to call attention to the aforesaid advantages as this. We have had no loss of life, no accidents of any kind, and the Ocean, that has flooded so many other places and wrecked boardwalks, pavilions, piers, and cottages; terrified the hotel guests and cottage residents, has at Ocean City been powerless to harm, and as far as the liability of danger from the Ocean was concerned or anticipated, one and all could have taken chairs to the boardwalk, and sat there during the storm, and would have been as safe as in their respective homes. The cause of this is, of course, selfevident. Ocean City has such a deep, safe strand that it is like a bulwark of protection and during the storm just ended, gave ample evidence that it is a proof against the wildest, and highest seas. At other resorts, promenading on the boardwalks and bathing have had to be discontinued for a number of days. Here we have bathed in safety every day, and have had no pleasures curtailed in any way by the storm, excepting, of course, the fishing outside. So much for our protection against the storms. Our advantages in times of mild weather are as numerous as those of any other sea resort. We have all the benefits of the island resort, and our bay is as fine as any on the coast, and has a perfectly sloping beach, so that ladies who dislike the rouger bathing in the ocean can indulge in that pastime in the bay with perfect safety. A word must be said anent the safety of our ocean beach. It is next to impossible for one to drown while bathing here, and one would have to be foolhardy in the extreme even to get in danger. The records concerning the drownings here speak more forcibly than words can--for we have had but one such accident in a number of years, and it was the result of rash boldness. To sum it up, we will use the remark of a man who has been all over the coast and who at present has a cottage here,--"Ocean City is a place where a gentleman can bring his family, allow them all the freedom of the resort, and go about his occupation in the city, conscious that they are perfectly safe."

Adams vs. Schurch.

A hearing was given Tuesday morning in the case of Harry B. Adams against Samuel Schurch. The bone of conten-

tion was the failure of Mr. Schurch to pay the commission due Mr. Adams for securing a tenant for the former's property, the "Bellevue." The "bone" was picked to pieces and put together again, and then it was fallen upon and again picked to pieces. It wasn't a very large "bone" either--the rental of the building being $250, and the amount of the commission (five

per cent.) therefore was but $12.50.

George Bourgeois was counsel for the plaintiff, and Eugene Cole was in charge of the defendant's interests. A half dozen witnesses were examined,

and it soon appeared that Mr. Carhart, an employee of Harry B. Adams, had been the procurer of the party who eventually rented the property, and so Mr. Adams claimed he should have the regular five per cent. commission. He had, he testified, been instructed, verbally, by Mr. Schurch to procure a tenant for the Bellevue, and was told to rent it for $275. He introduced the tenant who rented the cottage, and as Mr. Schurch denied his right to the money, brought suit for it. On the other hand, Mr. Schurch claimed to have done all the dickering with the tenant, rented the property to her himself, by special arrangement, for

$250, and had further paid his regular agent, Robert Fisher, the money that would have been due him (Fisher) as commission had he rented it.

Counsel for the defendant asked Mr. Fisher, on examination, if it was customary for property owners to pay agents a commission on property they did not rent? "No, it is not," was the response. "Then how is it that Mr. Schurch paid you the commission for the renting of a property that you did not effect?" The answer to this did not appear. The argument of Mr. Bourgeois was good, and the law was with him, and after a long, weary wrangle, a great part of which was irrelevant, the "bone" disappeared, and the jury deci-

ded that Samuel Schurch should pay the regular commission, to the amount of $12.50, to Harry B. Adams.

A Destructive Storm.

Death and disaster rode on the crest of the hurricane which swept along the Atlantic seacoast Wednesday night and yesterday morning. So far as known 46 lives were swallowed up in the storm and three vessels were lost along the treacherous New Jersey Coast. The

boats that perished in the gale were the fishing schooners Empire State and

Ella M. Johnson, of New London, Conn., and their crews of eighteen men, and the schooner Mary F. Kelly, of New York, and four men. Part of the

crew of the latter vessel were rescued. Two men were also swept off the fishing schooner Chocorqa, which succeed-

ed in weathering the storm. Seventeen men found water graves off Southamp-

ton, Long Island, by the foundering of the tugboat Panter, with coal barges in tow.

The terrific hurricane sent the lightship on Five Fathom Bank, below Cape May, floundering into the maw of the sea, and five more lives were blotted out. It is feared that the roll of death and destruction is not half made up, for as later reports come in news of fresh disaster is added. The Empire State and Ella M. Johnson were sunk off Mannasquan, N. J., and the Mary F. Kelly went ashore at Asbury Park. Had the life saving crews along the New Jersey coast been on duty it is more than probable that the loss of life would not have been so heavy. During the summer months, however, the life saving stations are closed. At the Delaware Breakwater three vessels are ashore. In Philadelphia and vicinity the storm was violent, but no serious damage was reported. The Storm Gathers. It was about half-past 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon when Jupiter Pluvius commenced to sprinkle a gentle warning over Ocean City that he was about to get his "mad" up; and he did not waste a great deal of time in preparation; and when at 10 o'clock those who had been unwary enough to "wander from their own firesides" undertook to return to them, they not only got thoroughly drenched with the rain, but had quite a difficult time to make headway through the storm, and lost hats, umbrellas, and numerous other articles "in the shuffle."

The Lights go Out. Just about the time the guests of the different hotels had finished their evening diversions, the wires of the electric light plant were disconnected by the force of the wind, and as a result, all of the houses that depended on electricity for their light were instantly shrouded in darkness, and there was a very

large time. The ladies shrieked real pretty little shrieks; the gentlemen stumbled over chairs and strayed against partitions and sundry articles, and the youngsters howled with loud

voices. Then there was a scurry for lamps and candles. Gradually the ladies and children were quieted, and finally all stumbled to bed as best they could, laughing over the catastrophe.

Damage to Hotels and Cottages.

Thursday morning it was found that among the hotels the Brighton suffered more than any other. The large iron wind-mill on the north side of the house was blown down and completely wrecked, falling on the water-tank. Had it not by good fortune fallen on the tank, a great deal more damage

would probably have been done. The noise made by the wind-mill as it crashed against the tank frightened all who heard it, and soon the thoroughly

alarmed guests fled down the stairs to the office and parlors in various states

of dishabille. The cause of the alarm was explained to them, and they again returned to their rooms. The Brighton's sign was also blown from its fast-

enings, and several shutters and doors were displaced and battered.

The other hotels and cottages suffered only minor damages, such as the loss of shutters, gates, doors and win-dow-panes, and the damages incident to leakages.

Along the Boardwalk. A stroll along the boardwalk reveals the fact that although many mishaps occurred, they were not of considerable extent, and as a result of having such a deep and perfect strand, Ocean City will suffer less from the inroads of the sea than almost any other resort along the coast. The fishermen's boats that were left on the beach were rather roughly handled, and landed high and dry but were not broken. Several pairs of rickety steps were torn from their sockets and flung high up on the sands, and the boardwalks that were in front of the cottages on the ocean front were dallied with in such a manner that they were found a long way from home. On the Beach Point. Considerable damage and confusion were accomplished in the bay at the Beach Point by the wind. Godfrey Krouse's yacht, the Lizzie E. Somers, is gone, and it is not known what has become of it, although the boatmen think it is probably sunk just off the railroad pier. One of Captain Sooy's yachts was flung up on the sand, but was not hurt materially. Richard Sooy's yacht "Beulah" was very badly battered and will have to undergo considerable repairing before she can be used again. The steamer Conestota, that runs between Atlantic City and this place, was swung around in her moorings by the wind and was left by the tide high and dry on the beach. No damage will result and the incoming tide will float her again this afternoon.

The West Jersey Blocked.

The report of a serious washout at Sea Isle City has reached here, one of the efforts of which was an accident there, at Clinton avenue, to the morning accommodation train, which left here at 6.10. The sea had made its way inland to the railroad tracks at that point, and washed the sandy foundation from under the ties on one side of the track.

The early train, not being flagged and no defect in the roadbed being appar-

end, did not slacken its course. The train keeled over to one side at the place above mentioned and the engine

and two cars were thrown off the track. No one was hurt. The Avalon ac-

commodation train arriving on the scene, took the passengers of the disabled train on to Philadelphia, while its own passengers were brought to Ocean City by the 6.25 express from here, which was held up by the accident to the accommodation.

The Electric Light Plant. There were few arc lights this morn-

morning that were not battered nearly to pieces by the wind. Wires were pulled out also, and considerable of such damage was done all over the town. The linemen have been briskly engaged all day repairing the damage, however, and this evening everything in connection with the plant is expected to run as smoothly as usual.

Ball Tossers Held Up. The Cape May base ball team arrived here in the morning from Atlantic City en route to Cape May, but were unable to get out of town in consequence of the

block on the W. J. R. R., and beguiled the moments in a little easy practice at the depot.

Asbury's Disaster. The schooner Mary F. Kelly, of Green-

point, L. I., was wrecked yesterday off Asbury Park, four of the crew being swept overboard and lost. Their names were: Christopher Grattan, captain; Charles Brown, first mate; Samuel Larison, second mate; Harry Broden, a sailor. The Kelly went ashore at the foot of Sixth avenue at daybreak, and is now fast going to pieces. She was

valued at $10,000, and was owned by Captain Grattan. The Kelly left Brook-

lyn Tuesday for a week's fishing cruise. She was manned as follows: Captain, Christopher Grattan; first mate, Charles Brown; second mate, Samuel Larison; steward, Walter ----; crew, Harry Broden, Charles A. Rockland, Antonio Oliver, Frank Crouse, Andrew Larison, Andrew Kuntson and Charles Lossen.

The schooner reached 'Squan Inlet yesterday morning. The storm increased in violence and the Captain dropped anchor to weather the gale. The crew had a most awful experience, and at 1.30 in the morning the schooner parted her anchor chain, and was driven at a terrible rate toward the beach. She was dashed upon the bar breaking both masts and carrying away the rigging.

Philadelphians Aid in the Rescue.

The ship was sighted by a number of guests from the Hotel Columbia, who

rushed to the beach and prepared to render assistance to the sailors. Mel-

ville H. Freas, of Philadelphia, Robert Taylor, of Newark, Mr. Murrell, of the Hotel Columbia, and George Marshal, of Philadelphia, were the first on the scene. Mr. Freas and Mr. Taylor se-

cured a rope used by the bathing mas-

ters, and, fastening a brick to the end thereof, threw it over to the vessel. The sailors tied the rope about their bodies and were pulled through the violent surf to the shore.

The shipwrecked men were taken to the Columbia House and fed and clothed. They were photographed and several good, big purses were raised to aid them by the guests of the Columbia and

Victoria. The steward's crushed body was found in the hold of the wrecked vessel, but the other bodies have not yet been recovered.

Went Down at His Post. Captain Grattan, of the wrecked ves-

sel, went to his death as only a lion-hearted hero of the seas can go. He

left nothing undone that could possibly have averted the disaster, but his efforts

were of no avail. When he knew that his boat was doomed, he turned every

effort toward the saving of his crew. His last command was "Look out for yourselves, boys; it is all up with us." A moment later a great wave grasped him in its arms, and bore the gallant sailor to the last port he will ever enter.

Havoc in Ocean Grove.

The tenters had a severe experience in Ocean Grove. The storm grasped

their tents, twisted and tattered them, and left the tenting ground one big mass of debris. The occupants of the canvass houses fled hither and thither in their night clothes, and were given shelter by their friends among the cottagers, and by the hotels. By noon yesterday most of the demolished tents were replaced. Lillagore's pavilion, the bath houses, the restaurant and the boardwalk all look as if they had been struck by a

volcanic eruption. Mr. Lillagore places his loss at about $8000, a $1200 soda fountain being among the things de-

stroyed. Nearly all the piers were wrecked, more or less, and Founder

Bradley estimates his loss at about $30,000. The park looks as if it had

been struck by a cyclone, and hundreds of dead English sparrows are strewn over the ground.

Small Damage at Atlantic. The roof of the Casino building at the head of Baltic avenue was blown off while all around town trees were uprooted or broken off. Over at Brigantine the electric railway was washed away, while at Chelsea telegraph poles fell victims to the high water pressure. A small pavilion on Young & McShea's pier was blown away. Manasquan and Spring Lake. Much damage was suffered in the vicinity of Manasquan Wednesday

night. Several small buildings were blown to the ground and many porches demolished. The fruit crop was al-

most destroyed. At Spring Lake the cupola and a portion of the roof of the Lake House was blown down. Chim-

neys were blown from many of the cottages. Much damage was done along

the beach to the boardwalk and pavilions.

Nearly one-half of the roof of the mammoth Monmouth House, Spring

Lake, was carried away. The several hundred guests were frightened and rushed to the hotel office. Proprietor Maltby assured them that there was no danger, and succeeded in getting some of the people to return to their beds. The tin roof of the Lake Avenue Hotel was torn off and the guests were greatly frightened.

At Belmar the storm played havoc, the entire roof of the Hotel Columbia,

one of the largest hotels there, was blown off and the timbers wrenched from their places. Boardwalks were washed upon the lawns, on the ocean front, and the avenues a half mile from the ocean, filled with driftwood.

Deluge and Disaster in New York.

New York was visited by a perfect tornado. The wind blew a gale, and

the rain fell in a deluge. The high wind carried the water through the air so that its volume was apparently greatly in excess of the actual fall. It was driven in sheets over the pavements and pedestrians had a hard time of it.

It was the heaviest rainfall in the history of the weather bureau, accord-

ing to Weather Observer Dunn. There were nearly four inches of rainfall on

the record for September 22 and 23, 1892, but last night's rainfall exceeded that.

Schooners and Crews Lost. The fishing schooners Empire State, with a crew of ten men, and Ella M. Johnson, with a crew of eight men, went down last night off Manasquan,

on the Jersey coast, and all on board were lost.

These two vessels were in company with the Chocorua last night at midnight when the storm struck them and, after beating around all night with the loss of the captain and first mate, the Chocorua tied up to-day, the only survivor of the three.

The storm struck the three vessels about midnight, and at 1 o'clock the

Johnson disappeared. A half-hour later Captain Perry and first mate Joseph

Francis, of the Chocorua, were swept overboard by a gigantic wave. The

lights of the Empire State disappeared immediately afterward, and at day-

break her masts were seen projecting out of the water about three feet.

The crew of the Chocorua say that no small boat could possibly live in the sea that was running at the time and the dories on board could have been of no

possible use to the crews of the two vessels. The captain of the Johnson was John Connors, and of the Empire State, Captain Ericson.

All of the boats were from New Lon-

don, and were owned by their respec-

tive captains. The three boats had only been out seven days when they were overtaken by the calamity, and were to have been out for two weeks longer. The Chocorua is tied up at

present at the foot of Fourth street, in the East river.

Long Island Visited.

The storm on Long Island was very severe and caused a great deal of da-

mage from Brooklyn to the eastern end of the island. Thousands of trees fell, outhouses and small buildings were de-

stroyed and fences were leveled in all directions. Crops in many sections of the island are ruined.

At Canarsie the damage to property will amount to $25,000, the majority of which was to boats and structures along the coast, and the estimated number of

craft that have been blown on shore and wrecked is about four hundred, most of which are pleasure boats.

At Coney Island the storm was ac-

companied by the highest tide which has ever swept over this storm-beaten

shore, and the destruction will reach far into the hundreds of thousands.

The beach is full of wreckage, the Marine railroad running to Manhattan Beach is totally washed out, the Brighton Beach grounds are wrecked, and the lawns and walks completely gone. Many of the stables at the Coney Island Jockey Club were damaged, but the race horses were removed without injury.

New England's Storm.

Very great damage was done by the storm Wednesday night and Thursday

throughout New England. All along the coast it was one of the wildest storms that has been experienced in several years. Four pontoons and a schooner were wrecked two miles north

of Narragansett Pier, and William Coo-

lan, a driver, was drowned. All the small boats in the bay at Hartford,

Conn., came ashore and were badly damaged. Considerable property in the city was destroyed.

More than 300 stately elms were blown down. The oyster beds especially have suffered and may prove a total loss, entailing damages of hundreds

of thousands of dollars. The famous Fall River Line steamer Puritan put into Boston harbor Wednesday night because of the stress of the weather and remained all day. The shipping in the harbor was badly damaged.

The Peach Crop "Lost" Again.

Reports from the peach districts of Delaware tell of large damages to the crops. Thousands of baskets of fruit have been knocked from the trees.

Most of these will be allowed to go to waste as the prices obtained for such fruit would not pay for the harvesting. Pears, grapes and apples were also

badly damaged. It is estimated that two-thirds of the fruit crop in Kent

county is affected. Growing corn is badly damaged, whole fields in some places being leveled to the ground.

Railroads at War.

Owing to a disagreement with the West Jersey Railroad Company, the management of the South Jersey Rail-

road have decided to abandon its con-

nection with the West Jersey at Rich-

land over that portion of its road for-

merly known as the Richland and Petersburg Railroad.

Wednesday morning, in pursuance of their determination, they proceeded to tear up the track forming the connec-

tion, a portion of the rails which are laid along the right of way of the West Jersey Railroad at that point. The West Jersey people objected to the pro-

ceeding, and, in order to prevent its consummation, sent a large force of section hands to the spot, and induced Squire Jones, of Richland, to swear

in about twenty-five of their men as special officers, with whom he proceeded

to arrest the employees of the South Jersey Company who were engaged in

the work. Squire Jones asserts that he will stop the work of tearing up the

connection. On the other hand, the officials of the South Jersey Railroad Company declare that as the property is theirs they have a legal right to re-

move it, and that they propose to do so, despite the objection and opposition of the rival corporation. They assert that they were driven to discontinue the connection by the persistent annoyance on the part of the West Jersey people, which were palpably intended to embarrass and delay the operations of the South Jersey road.

Alfred Tucker and John Williams Sunday engaged in a fight at Atlantic City over the ownership of some crackers. Williams had Tucker arrested, and the latter was fined $5 by Recorder Leedom. He had no money to pay the

fine, but Williams furnished the amount, and both left the courtroom the best of friends.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, August 28, 1893.

"No one to blame but your-

selves for the low prices and little profits," says one of our greatest producers of merchandise. "If you had kept up old prices and not given your customers the whole confidential rebates and almost all the discounts all hands would be making more money." Guess it is so. We are guilty of dividing the loaf with our customers. Our idea of business is to be of the greatest possible service to those who choose our store to deal in. Whatever we can save to them in better qualities and lower prices, fuller sizes, more

careful workmanship is bound to be our advantage in the end.

It is the long run we are counting on. No shouting or

hurrahing, but putting our statement in plain clothes and still being old-fashioned enough to believe that pointing out defects in goods is better than allowing our customers to dis-

cover them and be aggrieved. We commenced that way in 1877, and we keep on that

way, except that our manner of dealing grows more and more liberal, and we do every-

thing that can be done consistently for the greatest good of all our customers.

We allow return of goods, except Mattresses that might be slept on, goods for medicinal purposes, tooth brushes and

such like, and think we serve our patrons best by these few exceptions.

We go to the farthest extreme in providing every safeguard for those who deal here as to qualities and values. The confidence the people give us shall never be misplaced.

For years we have been passing out from one of the

leading mills of this country a grade of All-wool plain and mixed Suitings that has be-

come famous all over the United States. Full 54 inches wide and every fiber wool. Wonderful how the loom men can sneak cotton in to a Dress Stuff--comb it into the woolen yarns, sometimes. But this manufacturer never lets any cotton enter his door. And he chooses the wool with jealous care; fine wool, long fiber clean and bright. One Dollar a yard has been the best price we could make on this Dress Stuff, no matter how big the lot taken. But now comes a pleasant surprise, the price is SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. And for the choicest line of colors we ever had. Mainly

mixed effects, but there are beautiful

browns, greens, navy blues, garnets, plum, black In all 19 colorings. JOHN WANAMAKER.

STODDART'S STORES.

On Monday, August 28, 1893, we opened a branch store at 15 North Second Street, formerly occupied by the reliable old house of Kelly & Brown, having purchased their entire stock, and also added many lots bought at low prices now current, we are in a a position to offer many bargains in all kinds of dry goods. The convenience of this store to the different ferries has made

it popular with people passing to and fro, and to residents of Cam-

den and Central and Southern New Jersey.

Our efforts will be to make it even more attractive than in the

past, and it will be to the interest of those not familiar with the store to make its acquaintance, and those of its old patrons to

continue, intending to deserve the patronage of its old friends and many new ones.
