He Is Wanted for Bigamy.

Charles E. Barger, who has served terms in both New York and Virginia State prisons, escaped arrest in Atlantic Friday, through his faculty of scenting danger. He is wanted there to answer for the crime of bigamy, as it appears that he has two wives living besides the young Atlantic City girl whom he betrayed into marriage here two weeks ago. The last victim of his wiles was Miss Nettie, the daughter of John Holmes, of 2322 Arctic avenue, Atlantic City. The parents of the girl had set a trap to capture him, fully intent upon making him pay the penalty of ruining their daughter's life. A police officer was

within the Holmes cottage waiting for the unsuspecting Barger, who had ac-

companied his wife to this city on a visit, but boarded a train and left for parts unknown.

Miss Holmes made the acquaintance of Barger during the summer under the

assumed name of Charles E. Burnell, though investigation has shown he paraded at times under the aliases of John Bruce and David W. King. After a brief courtship Barger proposed and was

accepted, but on the part of the expect-

and bride she found an insurmountable barrier in the shape of the strenuous objections of her parents. Elopement was proposed and carried into effect. This was on August 25, and a few days later the bride began to learn of her husband's true character, and his ca-

reer in crime. Secret communications with her parents started an investigation. It resulted in bringing to light the facts that Barger had married his first wife, Miss Ella Bryant, at Mobile, Ala., and two years later, Miss Jennie Rowan, of

Lincoln, Neb. Letters have been found from his second wife, who resides with

her parents at 2924 Barclay street, Tacoma, Wash. Barger served time in a New York State prison in 1885 for house breaking, and was sentenced for the same crime to five years at Yorktown, Va., from which place he is said to have escaped before serving full time. In this city not long ago, Barger made a desperate attempt to kidnap his half-sister, who has had considerable money left to her

by relatives, and also was guilty of the crime of beating and robbing his aged mother. Efforts are being made by the police department to secure his capture.

Evangelists Stir Up Cape May County Villagers. Ex-Postmaster General Wanamaker's evangelical tour on Saturday included the villages of the bay shore. Mr. Wanamaker spoke on the necessity of heeding the teachings of the Bible.

At a meeting at the Court House Saturday evening, Mr. Wanamaker's subject was: "Does it pay to be a Christ-

ian." He discussed the topic from his personal experience.

On Sunday he began with an early morning service at the Cape May Point Presbyterian Church. He drove from there to Cold Spring "Brick" Church, and after lunch held a meeting at the Tabernacle M. E. Church. In the after-

noon there was a meeting at Amory Hall, Cape May City, and the conclud-

ing services of the day were held in the M. E. Church.

Large congregations were present at all these meetings. Mr. Wanamaker made addresses at each of them. He was attentively listened to by the people, who were charmed with his sympathetic spirit and sound words of council to believers and unbelievers. He made no illusion to public affairs, except by way of emphasizing some point of his address. In urging the importance of personal attention to the needs of a spiritual life, he said that no question of the unrest of labor, or stringency in financial affairs, equaled it in

importance.

The singing of the Bethany Quartet and solo work of Mrs. J. G. Wilson were attractive auxiliaries at these remarkable meetings. Dr. T. A. Fernley also made pertinent remarks at all of them.

The gentlemen composing the choir

were: Howard M. Murphy, J. R.

Sweeney, leader; J. Franklin Moss, Edgar A. Murphy, Edward Harshaw,

George A. Lindsey, Loftus G. Armstrong, Edward M. Zimmerman. The West Jersey Railroad management provided special trains to convey its visiting evangelists to the places of meeting. At Green Creek they were entertained by Captain Wilson Ross at Cape May Court House by W. Scott Hand, and at Cold Spring by the ladies of the locality.

Will Not Return the Money.

The May's Landing Improvement Company has filed a bill in equity in Common Pleas Court in Philadelphia, against John Clements, asking the Court to order him to account for moneys collected by him while in its employ. On June 5, 1892, Clements was employed by J. to sell lots at a compensa-

tion of $2 for each sale, he to devote his attention exclusively to the business. The company alleges that Clements had not acted in good faith, and has refused to furnish satisfactory statements of money collected by him, and

has on many occasions induced prospective purchasers to buy lots from other parties instead of from the company. About a month ago he was discharged,

but the company say that he has since been collecting and trying to collect

money belonging to it from debtors, and has in his possession over $2,000 which he refuses to turn over to it.

FOR SALE OR LEASE--Ocean front lots; bay front lots; also lots in most desirable locations.

Atlantic County Freeholders Meet. The Atlantic County Board of Chosen Freeholders met in the Court House at May's Landing last Wednesday. Director M. L. Jackson, of Hammonton, presiding. Mr. Townsend, of Absecon, was the only absentee.

The Bridge Committee presented estimates for cast iron pipes to be laid in

small streams and used for bridges. The estimates showed that a pipe forty-

eight inches in diameter would cost from $87 to $92. This would make a cheap bridge.

The Public Buildings Committee re-

ported progress on the construction of the new county buildings. Bids for

steam heating and plumbing ranging from $2,333.92 to $2,900 were opened.

The Buildings Committee were given power to award the contract. Bills were ordered paid.

A communication from Weymouth Township asking that railings be placed along the approach to the Tuckahoe River bridge was laid over.

It was decided that hereafter the Fi-

nance Committee must approve all bills before they are ordered paid by the Board. All purchases of stationery for county officers must hereafter be made

through the Finance Committee.

William Sooy, of Green Bank, pre-

sented a bill of $1,037.46 for building Green Bank bridge in 1858. Mr. Sooy build the bridge for his own personal

convenience, but since its construction it has been used as a public bridge, and

the county has kept it in repair. The Board did not believe Mr. Sooy had any claim, else he would have taken it to Court. The matter was referred to Solicitor Thompson. The Buildings Committee was instructed to secure proposals for attend-

ing the boiler at the steam heating plant at the jail, and the same com-

mittee was also authorized to furnish the new Judge's room at the court house. It was also directed that other quarters be found for Frank Brown, a colored man now in the jail awaiting trial for larceny. Brown is seriously ill, and has had the attention of a physician since the day he was committed.

Additional insurance was ordered to be placed on the county buildings. The Board adjourned to meet November 1.

Robbed Every Store. Enterprising burglars invaded Tuckahoe on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning of last week, and looted every store in the place, and wound up their night's work by stealing a horse and wagon to carry off their

booty. So quietly were their operations conducted that no intimation of the

robberies was had until Wednesday morning, when the proprietors of the

several stores put in an appearance to open their establishments. Then the confusion in their stores and the absence of goods which had been on the counters and shelves the previous even-

ing told the story. All the robberies were evidently committed by the same persons, as in each case the same jim-

my had been used to effect an en-

trance.

In all, four stores were robbed, among them the drug store of Dr.

Marshall, the grocery store of Anthony Steelman, a meat store and a dry goods

store. After having secured their booty the robbers stole a horse and wagon belonging to ex-Sheriff Adams, of Cape May county, with which to carry it

off. There is no clue as to the identity of the robbers.

Collision in the Station.

A misplaced switch sent two loco-

motives into collision early Monday morning in the Pennsylvania Railroad

station, Atlantic City, doing considerable damage to the engines, but injuring none of the passengers aboard either train. The two trains in the wreck were the morning newspaper train due at 6.40, and the 7 o'clock outward express, which was standing in the station.

Resignation Ends Strife. At a special meeting of Cape May Point Borough Council on Wednesday last, John Stanton was elected to succeed Mr. Reeves, resigned. This is important, as it gives a majority in favor of Collector Markley, and will result in abandoning the lawsuits against that official; give him control of his office, and end section strife.

Homeopathist's Meet. The New Jersey State Homeopathic

Medical Society will hold its Thirtyninth Semi-annual meeting at Atlantic City, September 26th and 27th, 1893. Headquarters of the society will be at the Hotel Brighton, and the sessions will be held in the New Brighton Casion.

A Bill That Will go a Very Long Way.

A bill was introduced in the Senate on Monday that will go a very long way in remedying the disastrous results that have followed the short sighted policy of economy pursued in regard to the Life Saving Service. This bill amends the laws governing the life-sav ing stations by providing that hereafter

the stations on the sea and gulf at which

crews are employed, shall be manned and the stations opened for active service on the first day of August and so continued until the first day of June succeeding, and upon the lake coasts from the close of navigation, except such stations as in the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury are not necessary to be manned during the full period specified; and the crews shall reside at the stations during such periods. Under this bill the term of service will be lengthened one month each at the beginning and end of the season.

vated and rebuilt 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.

The company dispersed at a late hour, wishing that the host and hostess would enjoy many more such occasions. SMITH'S LANDING.

The Epworth League of the M. E. Church will hold a re-union for the latter part of the month. May's Landing tax rate is $1.43, a reduction of 10 cents. After being closed for several weeks, R. D. Wood & Co.'s cotton mill resumed operations on Monday. The new shoe factory will commence operations this week. A pretty wedding took place Monday morning at the parsonage of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. The contracting parties were William S. Schenck, Jr., son of the Rev. William S. Schenck, and Miss Lydia Wilson. Rev. Mr. Schenck performed the ceremony in the presence of a large number of relatives and invited guests. ATLANTIC CITY. Mercantile Appraiser Rich has collected $17,000 since June 1. The wreck of the schooner J. C. Clark was blown up with dynamite on the beach Saturday. Weather Observer William T. Blythe has received notice that he will be transferred to Cairo, Ill. Alderman Joseph R. Bartlett has been presented with a gold watch and chain by the members of City Council.

The tax rate will be about twelve cents lower than last year. The officials of the Electric Light Company had to secure the aid of the police force on Saturday, before a pole could be placed in front of the property of Joseph Walker, on Indiana avenue. Ten thousand colored people thronged this city Thursday, which had been set apart for their especial enjoyment and re-union. Train after train filled with excursionists came from Baltimore, Wilmington, points ni Delaware and Philadelphia.

Shortly after noon Sunday Prof. G. W. Walters, who has been giving aqua-

tic exhibitions here for several sum-

mers with his patent life-saving raft, was picked up at sea, two miles from shore, in an exhausted condition by the yacht William H., Captain Graham.

He had started from the foot of Vir-

ginia avenue with his life raft, intending to give his usual performance, but the wind carried him out to sea and he was unable to regain the beach.

Defective eyesight, failing health, and inability to work for the support of his family, caused Herman Clarenbach, aged 49, a mechanic of this city, to commit suicide Friday afternoon by hang-

ing himself to a bedpost at his home, 2220 Arctic avenue. He removed from Philadelphia where he had been em-

ployed by Hearder Cutlery Com-

pany, to this city sometime ago, in the hopes that the change would benefit his eyesight and health. He continued to get worse, and the fact of his wife having to work to support him and the three children preyed upon his mind. The suicide was discovered about 4 o'clock by Mrs. Clarenbach.

PORT REPUBLIC.

Gushem Fielder experienced a return of his old enemy, epilepsy, on Monday of last week, while trying to repair a fence. He fell upon his face in the

deep sand, which would have smothered him to death in a very few minutes had not a little boy of Levi Hewitt's found

him in time to alarm his mother and other neighbors. Certainly this poor, afflicted man should not be allowed to leave his home alone.

The long-looked for wedding of Miss Della Clark to Frank Dare, of Millville, took place in Camden September 1. Mrs. Dare has many warm friends in this community, where she was born and reared, and whose best wishes for

her future happiness and prosperity will go with her to her new home in Missouri. Della, we won't say "good-bye" for good, but will look forward with pleasant anticipations for your return.

Young Captain William Blake is planning for something picturesque and elegant for a home. That is right

and commendable. Hope others will vie with him in making Port smile

with beauty. We may look forward with certainty for something that will adorn and beautify both inside and outside. Haste the building! Who dare say that Port Republic is out of the world?

The great straw ride from Port to Pleasantville, visited Miss Lizzie Hains, and consisted of thirty-two happy pleasure-seekers. To add to the enjoy-

ment of the occasion, Miss Marette Frambes, whom the party had mourned as being absent in Philadelphia, suddenly appeared before them from a hidden closet, and helped to make the evening pass pleasantly. She returned to Philadelphia, and is now enjoying the facilities that Pierce's business school affords.

The visitors and boarders in town have been too numerous during the past week to mention in detail.

Miss Minnie French has been suffering greatly for several days from piercing her foot with a rusty nail, and then taking cold. She seems better at present. Hope to see her pleasant face among us soon again.

day, September 5, under the direction and instruction of the same teachers as we had last year.

The spirit of improvement has been revived in this once lively little town. Three more houses will soon be built.

Mr. Crowell, who has been supplying the First Baptist Church, will return to his studies at Crozier Theological Seminary, Upland, Pa., the last of this month. He will still have charge of the church here, coming down Saturday evening and returning to the Seminary Monday. His pleasant smiling face will be missed from our streets. Miss Alberta Lake is getting to be a very graceful rider on horseback. She is seen quite frequently on our streets on her little sorrel pony. We also noticed D. Megronigle and W. Gregory, of California, both of whom are splendid riders. We are to have a merry-go-round at this place next week. It will be located on the vacant lot in front of the post-office. The audience at the Baptist Church last Sunday was very much pleased with the music. The Baptist Christian Endeavor Society had a sailing away party to Ocean City last Thursday in Captain Frank Robinson's yacht. The stockholders of the Pleasantville and Atlantic City Turnpike Company met at the residence of Lucas Lake last Monday. It was decided to improve the road by raising it above tide-water mark. The wharf at Atlantic City draw-bridge belonging to the company was rented to Enoch Jeffries and H. Huhn, at the same rate as last year. The toll-gate keeper at Pleasantville will be George W. Adams. The present keeper, Albert P. Lake, will remove to his old home, corner Shore avenue and Reading Railroad. Mrs. Lizzie A.

Park Collins, of New York City, residing at Dennis Creek Landing, Thursday secured a warrant for the arrest of his mother-in-law, Margaret Hancock, Margaret McCormick, James Eldridge, Walter Warwick and Somers Hickman, on a charge of slander.

mail, but was committed by Justice Spaulding.

GREEN CREEK. The dedication of the new K. G. R. Hall took place on Wednesday evening last. Rev. G. T. Harris, of Dennisville, and Prof. W. H. Egolf, of Dias Creek, were the principal speakers. Over 200 persons were present and the occasion was interesting and profitable. This place has been greatly excited over a mad dog scare, and the villagers have been out with guns and clubs killing all the dogs and cats that can be found. The scare was caused by the hound of Charles Holmes going mad and biting every animal it could reach. Francis Cresse was also attacked by the rabid canine and had nearly all his clothes torn from his body. He succeeded in beating the dog off after a desperate struggle. SEA ISLE CITY. Jerry Delaney, of this place, has been put under $500 bail by Mayor Ludlam, on a charge of assaulting John Gegan, of Philadelphia.
