OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. THURSDAY, SEPT. 7, 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. City Council will hold its regular September meeting to-morrow evening. None of our hotels have closed up yet, and a number of cottagers will remain throughout October. The Ocean City public schools will open on Monday next with last year's efficient corps of cachers. The regular meeting of the Ocean City Building and Loan Association will be held on Saturday evening. Charles Matthews, Jr., and family, after spending a very enjoyable season here, left for the World's Fair on Friday afternoon. Mrs. James Dailey, of Westville, returned home on Monday after spending a season at the residence of Willets Godfrey and wife.

The successful applicants for post-office, appointments in this vicinity were W. H. Hawk, Linwood, and S. W. Corson, Palermo.

The fall schedule of the West Jersey Railroad went into effect on Tuesday. Trains now leave Ocean City at 6:40 a. m., and 2:05 and 4:28 p. m.

The entertainment given in the M. E. church Tuesday evening by the Misses Dalrymple was very interesting. Quite a large audience was present.

The Yachtmen's Association grave the last sail of the season on Tuesday after-

noon. Quite a number participated, and an enjoyable time was had.

The local newspaper should be found in every home. Every child should be taught to appreciate it as a stepping stone to intelligence not contained in books.

Mrs. K. Mulford and Miss Sallie Mulford, both of Millville, are spending a week at the Ocean City House prior to their returning home for the winter season.

You are missing the best month at the sea if you go home now instead of staying through September, and each year more and more people are finding that out.

Elva J. Sharp will erect a house on his lot at Second street and Asbury avenue in the near future. Material is now being placed on the ground for the new structure.

H. G. Schultz and family, who have been occupying their cottage here dur-

ing the summer returned to their Philadelphia home to make preparations to visit the World's Fair.

Rufus M. Smith, Philadelphia, has

purchased a lot on Ocean avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets, through the agency of Robert Fisher, on which he intends erecting a cottage.

The mosquito is beginning to look dejected. He has lost a few pounds this last week, and he is a little peaked around the eyes. He gazes sadly on

the departing guest, and thinks sorrowfully of that winter diet of horse-blood with an occasional dash at a dog--on the side. Strange to say, he does not trouble the native, but lives happily at his hearthstone.

The continued rain and gloomy weather are having a very withering effect on the summer population of Ocean City. The Saturday 'till Monday visitors will be rather wary this week, and if the clouds do not soon dispel the season will come to an abrupt end. However, the sun seems to be trying to brighten things up a little and perhaps we will yet have a few of those delightful September days that are the pleasantest of all days at the shore.

The young ladies are beginning to fuss over the fact that they cannot leave their sunburn at the shore when they return to their homes. They say that three or four different shades of tan, diverse different shapes outlined on chest, shoulders and arms do not tend to a harmonious ensemble when arrayed in evening dress. But it seems to us

that it would attract a great deal of attention. But if the ladiest lament the sunburn, they can lift up their voices and sing big, whole notes of joy that

they will not have to spend long hours every day in the tedious operation of drying their hair. Lucky man--give thanks you do not have to "pay the fiddler" when you bathe.

Broke in Three Places.

John Gaery, who lives at 19 South Missouri avenue, is a conductor em-

ployed on the Longport electric car line. Saturday afternoon he had charge of the double cars, Nos. 827 and 814, which left the Tennessee avenue station for

Longport at 1.40 o'clock. Samuel Mathis was motorman. Gaery started w arn.-I n collecting fares on the first car and then, as the corner of Kentucky avenue was reached, attempted to step across to the rear or "trailer" car.

In some way or other he missed his footing and fell between the two rapidly moving cars. His left arm caught in the truck and he was dragged for some distance before the motorman

could be made aware of the trouble and stop the train. The wounded man showed great pluck and walked over to

Dr. Armstrong's office, several blocks away, unassisted, but no one being there he was finally removed to his home in an express wagon.

Dr. Thompson was summoned, and found on examination that the man's arm was broken in three places, besides severe bruises being received about the face and head. Amputation may be necessary to save his life.

Attempted Outrage.

One of the most shocking occurrences that has ever happened in the borough of Ocean City occurred Thursday evening on the boardwalk at the ocean end of Fourth street, about fifteen minutes before eight o'clock.

A little girl, who is the daughter of a minister living at the point of beach, and a sixteen-year-old servant girl accompanying her, were accosted by a man who appeared suddenly and threw a rope around the younger girl's body, attempting to pinion her arms to her side. Both girls struggled with their assailant, and by their combined efforts managed to free the younger one, who ran away as she was released.

Then the dastard turned to the older one, bound and gagged her quickly and dragged her under the boardwalk just in front of the Life Saving Station.

The younger girl, terribly frightened, shrieked for help, crying "murder." Her outcries soon brought a number of people living in the Fourth street cottages to the scene. A young man named Smith ran up to her, and she implored him to hurry to her compan-

ion's aid.

The sound of the voices, however, had warned the cowardly assaulter, and he escaped over the bank into the brush, and was not seen again.

Both girls were terribly frightened and shocked, but fortunately the arrival of help was in time to prevent their assailant from accomplishing his pur-

pose. They were taken in charge and accompanied to their home by Mr. Smith. The father of the younger girl, a min-

ister who has been occupying a cottage at the Point of Beach, was seen this morning, and corroborated the story as told by the people who were attracted to the spot by the children's cries.

The girls, he said, had left home about 7 o'clock or a little after, to go down to the town, as they wished

to purchase some sea-shells and other mementoes of their visit. As they went along the boardwalk they were passed by a man going north who looked very sharply at them as he drew near, and

turned and gazed at them after they had passed. They hurried on, and though they are not positive of it, they think he is the one who attempted the out-

rage.

Both of the girls were so terror-strick-

en, and the place was so dark that neither can describe the man. They are sure, however, that he was not a negro, and that he was dressed in light colored clothes.

At the point where the affair occurred there was little light, although there is an electric lamp at the ocean end of

Fourth street. The light was of very little use, however, as both the globe and hood were blown away, and it gave

but a dim, flickering light that was little better than none. This and many other lights throughout the town were damaged in this way about ten days ago, by the first storm, and have not since been repaired. As a consequence the boardwalk, and in fact the whole town is very poorly lighted at present.

There were rumors that the brute who attempted the assault was caught next morning, but the report was false.

And indeed, there are no police on duty now and no one is vested with the authority to look up the case, unless some one wishes to do it for his own gratification.

Marshall Harry Conver did all he could Thursday night in the matter, and though his term of office has expired and he now receives no pay from the town for his service, yet he has been investigating the matter.

Odd as it may seem, excepting during the months of July and August, there is no regularly employed police; nor is

the place patrolled by any official of any kind during the remainder of the year. Notwithstanding the fact that

the visitors commence to arrive about the first of June, and are here as late as the middle or latter part of September, and there are about six hundred people here the year round--there is no regu-

larly employed protection of any kind whatever.

If Marshal Conver feels that he should continue his investigation (and there is not the slightest reason why he ought) he may do so, and take chances of being remunerated for his services--and these same chances are very slim.

A Plank Saved Three Bathers.

Three persons were saved from drown-

ing on Saturday by the Government Life Saving Crew, which went on duty Friday. The rescued people were Wil-

mer and Lawrence Fuller, sons of Mrs. W. A. Fuller, a cottager at 118 South Rhode Island avenue, Atlantic City, and Dr. Carpenter, a guest of the family. They were in bathing, accompanied by Mrs. Carpenter, opposite the Lighthouse, a district that is not covered by the life guards. All were good swimmers and were splashing about in the surf, when they suddenly felt themselves caught in the strong current sweeping from the Inlet that comes with

powerful force around the point where they were bathing. The current was swiftly carrying them to sea.

Mrs. Carpenter saw the peril of the others, and with the aid of other people a plank was thrown to them. The men caught the plank and held on until the Government lifeboat came to their aid and they were brought ashore.

Kickers.

Everybody has heard of a certain kind of human who spends his life "looking

for trouble." He looks everywhere for it, and he does not overlook the news-

paper in his search. When devoting his attention specially to the newspaper, he takes exception to everything con-

nected with it--from its policy and its style, down to the type, ink and quality of the paper. If you have

an article headed "Flood's Awful Work," he will tote himself into your presence, and tell you

you are a fool--that the heading is too commonplace, that you should strive for more effect, and that the heading

should be "A Deluge Fell Between the Evening's Death and the Morning's Birth." Then he will fold his arms

and step two paces to the rear. And you look up and wonder whether it is worth while to tell the infernal old

idiot that there is room for only three words in the heading, and that the title he suggests would go clear across the paper. But you don't tell him--no, you listen silently and sadly as he shows you how to run a paper, and while he is jabbering your mind tries to wander far away into the past, and you feel the edge of a paper knife and wonder if it would cut a man's throat.

Well, he tells you that yesterday's article on the storm is "way off"--

it should have been written in such and such a way; the story you are running is rank,--why didn't you run this

other story, etc., etc. Of course you see that this paragon knows nothing about the story you are running, and

you know he is ignorant of the fact that the story he suggests is controlled by Somebody & Company's copyright,--but you say nothing.

After this Smart Alec has gone you tear your hair a little and put a handful of type in your mouth and chew it savagely as you return to your, or rather his business. Well, there is a wee bit of satisfaction in the thought that this "kicker"--this "Little Ostrich who Knows it All," makes himself as obnoxious to everyone else as he does to you. He is the keeper of all his brothers, and is custodian of everyone's business; he finds fault with his own lot; and is continually construing the remarks of all with whom he comes in contact as insults or "cuts" to himself. He prates

because John Jones has $20,000 and he has nothing--but cannot understand with his weak and narrow intellect that John Jones got his twenty thousand by attending strictly to John Jones' business.

If the "kicker" sees a man walking the street with but one leg, he immediately bawls at an unkind Providence that compels him to pay for two shoes, while his one-legged neighbor has to buy for only one foot.

And so he kicks himself through life. He is always miserable himself, and he does everything in his power to make life weary for his neighbors.

Fathers' Rights.

There is one class in the community--one patient, hard-working, long suffering and uncomplaining class-who never strike for their rights, concerning whom little is said, and yet who de-

mand our sympathy and our concern. We refer to fathers. Mothers are adored

in art, exploited in literature, heralded in song and embalmed in memory. If a boy goes safely through mumps, mea-

sles and malaria, his mother is com-

mended for her care of his physical life. If he does well at school, the teachers are sure that he has a sym-

pathetic and judicious mother, who spurs him on and keeps him to the

mark. If he becomes a great man--great anywhere, in politics, in statesman-

ship, war, or engineering, no matter what--we are told that his mother was

an eminent woman, that he derived his intellectual acumen and his moral

balance from her. Monuments are erected to the mothers of great men, but who ever in his wildest dreams imagined the building, by subscription or otherwise, of a monument to the father of a general, a poet or a musician.

The father, as a rule, is in the background when the biography is written, and this is in keeping with the very modest share he has in his home, which he pays for and provides with comforts and luxuries.

The bills are his to defray, but of the charming excitement of shopping, the

manifold delights of looking over the rich stuffs in the shop and the gleam-

ing silver and translucent china in big warehouses, what does he know? He does not even, as a rule, buy the birth-

day and Christmas gifts which are bestowed in his name. His very gift-

making is done, so to speak, by proxy, mamma and the girls choosing for him

whatever presents he makes. His part in all the pomp that fills the circuit of the summer hills is usually just to pay the bills, for money-making and moneyearning are his part of the contract, while his wife does the spending.

Godfrey Krouse's Illness.

Godfrey Krouse, of Philadelphia, who has been spending the summer in Ocean City at his Central avenue cottage, near

Third street, was removed to his city residence Thursday evening, suffering from erysipelas. The disease manifested itself in his left leg, compelling Mr. Krouse, who is well advanced in years, to take to his bed and summon Dr. J. S. Waggoner, but owing to the debili-

tated condition of the sick man's system his recovery will be necessarily slow, and it was owing to this fact that he desired to be removed to his Philadelphia home while the weather was favorable.

port last Saturday. Being unsuccessful in securing any game, they withdrew
