OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. THURSDAY, SEPT. 21, 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 name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publication, but a guarantee of good faith.

LOCAL NEWS. Weather prophets predict a moderate winter. J. V. and R. Rapp are filling up and grading their property at the point of beach.

The teachers of this and Cumberland counties will hold their institute at Wildwood next month.

Charles A. Campbell and wife, of Asbury avenue, will visit the World's Fair this week. They expect to be gone about ten days.

The interrogatory, "Are you going to the World's Fair?" is becoming such

an old chestnut that you can see the gray hairs on it.

Rev. G. B. Wight, Presiding Elder of the Bridgeton district, preached an able sermon in the First M. E. Church on

Sunday morning to a full house.

It is always safe to buy of men who advertise. They generally have the best and cheapest articles, and thus take

pleasure in inviting your patronage.

A yawl in good condition was wash-

ed up on the beach at the Life Saving Station last week. There was no name on the boat that would lead to its identity.

Ocean City has now taken on its winter appearance. Very few of the summer cottages are occupied, their owners having returned to their city residences. Mulford Jeffries and Miss Retta Burley, both of this place, were united in marriage by Rev. W. A. Massey on Saturday evening last at the home of the bride, Fourteenth and West streets. R. Curtis Robinson, editor and proprietor of the SENTINEL, accompanied by his wife, is on an extended trip. They intend visiting a number of places of interest, and will be gone about two weeks.

W. S. Peacock, who has acceptably filled the position of telegraph operator

at the West Jersey Railroad Station, this place, during the past season, has been relieved. Mr. Peacock has made many friends while here. The Women's Christian Union, of this county have elected the following officers: Mrs. Hester Hand, president; Mrs. George Ogden, corresponding secretary; Miss Fannie Holmes, recording secretary; Miss Jennie Wales, treasurer. The train leaving here in the morning will run to Cape May Court House during Court for those who desire to attend. There will also be a train leaving Court House about 5.30 p. m. to accommodate those who may wish to return the same day.

John F. Graff, (Greybeard) lately of the Philadelphia Press, paid a short visit to this place, stopping at the cot-

tage of Edwin T. Clinton, Central avenue. He expressed himself as

greatly pleased with the place. This was his first visit to Ocean City.

At the meeting of Ocean City Volun-

teer Fire Company, No. 1, held on Fri-

day evening last, after the transaction of routine business, R. Howard Thorn and Samuel Carhart were appointed delegates to the Volunteer Firemen's State Convention which will be held in the near future.

Last week a barrel of lard came ashore near the I. G. Adams Casino building. It was discovered by W. S. Peacock and T. Kenney, who, after a careful exanimation, failed to discover any markings whereby its history might be learned. Undoubtedly it was a mute witness of some marine disaster.

Rev. A. J. Dalbow, who has been doing good work as an evangelist in

this and Atlantic county during the past winter, commenced a series of special meetings in this place in the First M. E. Church on Monday evening. Those services will continue every evening for two weeks, Saturday excepted. Rev. Dalbow is intensely in earnest in the work of his Master. The suspense in reference to the removal of Postmaster Robinson is over, and the several disappointed aspirants can now breathe more freely. The fortunate candidate is R. Howard Thorn, whose appointment was announced in the Sunday papers. Mr. Thorn, who held the office previous to Mr. Robinson's appointment, has had consider-

able experience in handling the mails, and consequently when the transfer

occurs, there will be no danger of dedelays occurring through lack of experience in the duties devolving on the postmaster.

Council Meets.

A meeting of City Council was held last Friday evening, with a full atten-

dance present. After a number of com-

mittees had reported progress, the following bills were presented and ordered paid: A. D. Sharp, $366.67; Jesse Murdoch, $8.50; Town & Brother, hose, $337.50; Lewis Sigars, $16.20; Elmer Hand, $5.45; Reuben Steelman, $19.88; Charles Myers, $7.81; Y. Corson, $24.50. J. F. Canfield introduced a resolution for the grading and paving of that portion of the city bounded by Fifth and Tenth streets, and West and Ocean avenues, which was duly considered and passed to a third reading. The same gentleman also offered a resolution for the grading, curbing and paving of Fifth street from West street to Atlantic avenue, which passed first and second reading, and now awaits final action. The Mayor was directed to look after garbage that might accumulate, after which the Council adjourned to meet to-morrow evening. ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel." LEEDS' POINT. Mrs. Frank Mathis has returned home from Lebanon, Pa., where she visited her sister, Mira Eldridge. BAKERSVILLE. The bicycle should go from our sidewalks. Dr. and Mrs. G. P. Gehring left home on the 9th instant for Chicago, where they will remain a month enjoying the wonders of the White City. The large farm of Stewart Simpson has been exchanged for property in Philadelphia. Mr. Simpson will move to that city and engage in the grocery business.

LINWOOD.

John A. Harding and family will

leave us this week to occupy their winter residence in Camden. A wedding is rumored for the near future.

Charles Powell and wife have re-

turned home after visiting relatives and friends in Newark and Ocean City, Md. William Risley's family have moved in their new house.

J. Doughty and wife, of English Creek, were the guests of Mrs. Annie Risley on Sunday.

EGG HARBOR CITY. The whirlwind which struck this place on Friday night completely demolished the blacksmith shop of Mrs. Rohr. The house on the farm of Mr. Baake, in Galloway township, was moved eight feet from its present foundation, and the stable in the rear of the house completely demolished and carried away. Part of the stable of Mr.

Hanselman was also wrecked. Trees were uprooted in every section of the city.

The grape crop this season at this place is the largest known for years.

Jacob Oberst, of this city, was terribly injured on Sunday by the tongue of a wagon penetrating his abdomen.

ATLANTIC CITY.

Thirty-five persons were rescued from drowning last summer. Thirty marriages took place in this city during the past month. The German citizens talk of nominating a candidate for Mayor.

John Cordery ran against a circular saw on Saturday and lost a thumb.

Councilman Lewis Goff on Saturday presented each of the four fire com-

panies with a barrel of sweet cider.

Harry Kientzel, of this place, who fell overboard while fishing Friday,

was rescued from drowning by Walter Minerd.

Michael Bradley, of 3840 Market street, Philadelphia, Saturday reported

to the police that he had been robbed of his gold watch and chain.

The color line is not drawn in the public schools, and on Friday a race riot was created by a boy named Mc-

Gillan punching the face of a negro pupil.

Mrs. Dennis Dean caught a boy Friday morning in the act of robbing the cash drawer at her saloon at Arctic and Illinois avenues. When she attempted to hold him, he picked up an ice pick and kept her at bay until he saw an opportunity to escape. The thief, who was only about 13 years of age, dropped the money he had stolen. Of the 109 license applications examined by the committee of citizens

appointed to investigate the question, there were 88 which were found to con-

tain the names of persons who are not freeholders, several did not contain the

signature of a single freeholder, and upon others there were less than the 12 signatures required by law. Of the 1300

signatures on the 109 applications over 400 were women, many of whom were single girls. PORT REPUBLIC. Edward Frambes, who as the contract for painting St. Paul's M. E. Church of this place, is rapidly pushing the work to completion.

Mrs. Ellen Sheppard, of Salem, N. J., spent a few days with her son-in-law, Rev. J. B. Dare, last week.

Mr. and Mrs. Wilbert Higbee, of Atlantic City, spent Sunday with Mr. Higbee's parents. Adolphus S. Johnson has purchased a very fine Estey organ for his daughter Mina. Judging from the manner and style with which the young men from "down shore" drive and sport around through our little town, it is not difficult to con-

clude that there are more attractions than one here.

The upper part of Port is complaining of the dropping off of travel from "over the river" since the building of the new bridge at Chestnut street, but the inhabitants of "Watery Hollow" are proportionately pleased. The recent illness of Miss Alice French has caused some anxiety among her many friends. The church painting went along nicely until last Friday evening, when the painters informed their employer

that they would not paint the steeple, whereupon Mr. Frambes promptly dis-

charged them, and hired help from Absecon. Our enterprising dealer in feed keeps his teams busy hauling and delivering the same.

The "Rapid Traveler" bicycle, the one that Miss Frambes sells, seems to

be gaining ground in popularity. Miss Helen French now rides one, much to her own pleasure and the delight of her friends. The announcement of the marriage of Richard Bowen and Sallie Tomlin, of this place, caused quite a surprise among their acquaintances. Nevertheless, we wish them a long and happy life. The little girl that appeared in our vicinity last week found a welcome in the home and hearts of Levi Hewitt and wife. We noticed Mr. French and Mr. Skillenger, of Camden, among Port Republic guests last week.

The painting of the church steeple would be a good "view" for that in-

stantaneous photographer, who delights in the scenery of our surroundings, not saying anything about the weeds which adorn (?) our sidewalks. After Haven's Scalp. The chief topic of discussion among the 240 surfmen at the forty government station houses which dot the Jersey coast, is whether or not "Webb" Havens, as Superintendent John G. W. Havens is familiarly called, is to be superseded by a Cleveland Democrat. For more than twenty years Mr. Havens has held his position at the head of the Life Saving Service in the Fourth district, comprising the State of New

Jersey, but the pressure being brought to bear by the Democratic aspirants for

the place is so strong, that it is doubtful if the civil service reform principles of the administration will withstand it.

A similar assault was made eight years ago, when Mr. Cleveland was first elected president, but Sumner L. Kim-

ball, the general superintendent of the service at that time, flatly refused to make any any changes in the district superintendents, and threatened to hand in his own resignation if any such changes were made. Now it is said by Demo-

crats of high political prestige, that Kimball himself will have to walk the

plank before the winter is over and that his successor has been selected in the person of a New York "anti-snap-per" Democrat.

There are numerous applicants for Havens' position. At present it looks

as if Richard A. McCunney, of Beach Haven, would be the successful candi-

date. Another confident candidate is Joseph B. Cox, of West Creek; Melville P. Hendrickson, an ever-hustling Mon-

mouth county Democrat; Hon. Isaac B. Smalley, of Bridgeton; Peter Bonnett, of Elizabeth, and many others are among the applicants.

Baptists Meet. The West New Jersey Association comprising the churches of Cape May, Cumberland and Salem

counties, met in its eighty-second annual session in the Baptist Church at Cape May Court House, September 12th and 13th. Ministers and delegates discussed questions relative to the spiritual and moral interests of the district; also, State, Home and Foreign Missions. Stirring sermons were preached by Revs. Button, Millville; Greenig, Cape May City; Hope, Salem, and McKeever, Woodstown.

Miss Reade, missionary to the Blanket Indians, gave an interesting address on her work among them.

Rev. Frank S. Dobbins, late of Japan, spoke eloquently on behalf of foreign missions.

The Sabbath question: furtherance of Bible work; the Temperance question,

and the "Relation of the Catholic Church to the Bible," were ably dis-

cussed.

The West Jersey Railroad Company tendered a free excursion to the dele-

gates to Wildwood.

The Wildwood Beach Improvement Company have agreed to deed free of

cost, to the Baptist denomination, an elegant park, comprising forty building

lots, and a lot for parsonage, provided, the Baptists will agree to buy one hun-

dred of the two hundred lots now on sale. The opportunity both as a busi- - ness investment for individuals, and the benefits accruing to the denomination, are considered excellent by investigators. Twenty or more lots have thus far been subscribed for. Locked the Scholars Out. Principal E. D. Riley and his corps of teachers, with 300 pupils, were kept out of the new school house at May's Landing Monday by a contractor, and in consequence, the fall term did not commence as expected. When Principal Riley and the teachers arrived at the school building Mon-

day morning, it was found that every door was fastened. After considerable

confusion and inquiry, it was ascertained that the contractor and builder, J. W. Auld, had the keys in his pockets. The reason for this, it was stated, was that there is still some money due the contractor, and he wanted the Board of Trustees to accept the building. The Board of Trustees, consisting of exSheriff M. V. B. Moore, John C. Troub and H. W. Shaner, held a meeting on

Saturday evening last, and instructed the contractor to be present, but he

failed to appear. Monday morning they held another meeting, when the

contractor appeared. Some warm remarks passed before the matter was adjusted and the keys turned over. The school was opened Tuesday.

Many Saloonkeepers Indicted. The Grand Jury met at May's Landing again Monday, and found a number of true bills in the cases of the saloon-

keepers accused of securing their licenses by forging the names of property owners and temperance people to their applica-

tions.

The names of the men indicted were

not divulged, and will not be until they

are arranged in Court and held for trial.

It is generally understood, however, that true bills were found in every case except one. The action of the Grand Jury has created consternation among the saloonkeepers, and if their cases come to trial some sensational revelations are promised regarding the loose manner in which licenses have been granted. The indicted saloonkeepers, however, may decide to prevent the exposure by pleading guilty. FOR SALE FOR $20. One horse "new" bolster wagon, wide tires. Address J.

Wonderful Performance.

An amusing incident is related of Calverley, the man who has astonished the world by walking across Niagara Falls on a three-quarter-inch cable. During the week's engagement at the Falls general arrangements were made whereby the hero of Niagara carried a man across the water on his back. The first journey was made in capital style, both Calverley and his jockey appearing to enjoy the trip, and the spectators shouted themselves hoarse. But when the end of the wire had been reached a difficulty presented itself which had been overlooked. Reaching the landing stage, Calverley unbuckled his harness and threw the apparatus to the ground, and then for the first time came the question: How was the jockey to reach the ground, one hundred feet below? There

were no steps to the pole, nor were there any means by which the jockey could descend.

The two men looked at one another for a moment in blank dismay, and then Calverley laughed till the pole against which the two men were standing shook violently. The spectators wondered what would happen and Manager Jackson was getting fidgety, when Calverley struck an idea, the carrying into execution of which produced for the first time a high-wire feat the like of which had never previously been witnessed, and which must rank among the most famous of Calverley's performances. "All right, Colonel," he called to his manager, and then telling his jockey to place his hands on his shoulders and follow him across the wire, stepping only when he stepped, he started. At first the jockey displayed a little nervousness, but after a few steps he recovered his composure and the pair proceeded slowly across the wire amid the breathless silence of 20,000 spectators. Calverley displayed extraordinary

balancing power, and all who saw the feat, recorded it as the most wonderful on record.

Mr. Calverley will be one of the many special attractions at the Great Inter-

State Fair, to be held at Trenton, N. J., September 25th to 29th. He will give

daily performances on a wire eighty feet high.

This Canadian Blondin is the greatest high-wire performer in the world.

Samuel Leeds Singley.

At the residence of his father-in-law, John M. White, Asbury avenue near

First street, on Tuesday evening, Samuel Leeds Singley, in the 38th year of his age.

The subject of this sketch was born in Salem, this state, where his father, Dr.

Edward Singley, was a medical practi-

tioner for a number of years. While deceased was a mere boy his father removed his family to Chester county,

Pa., where the mother, a noted minister in the Society of Friends, died a few years ago.

While a young man Mr. Singley received a hurt to the spine, and about a year ago the injury made itself manifest, when it was decided that the only relief lay in a surgical operation, which was performed at the Hahnemann Hospital, Philadelphia, on July 19, 1892. Owing to its extreme delicacy, his life hung in the balance for a few days, but his splendid physique enabled him to pull through safely. A short time ago he was attacked with Bright's disease of the kidneys, and owing to his debilitated condition he was unable to withstand its inroads, and he passed quietly away at 11.52 Tuesday evening.

Deceased was a young man of great promise, possessed of those qualities of heart and mind which endeared him to a large circle of friends, who will be shocked at the news of his death. A dutiful son, loving brother, affectionate husband, and a consistent Christian, he has gone to his reward. The body will be laid to rest in the Friends' burying ground at West Grove, Pa., alongside the remains of the mother who has preceded him, and where for a number of years he was accustomed to worship. Christian Endeavor Convention. The seventh State Christian Endeavor Convention to be held in Trenton, October 11th and 12th, promises to be one of unusual interest. Taylor Opera House, the largest meeting place in the city, has been secured for the occasion. The new Y. M. C. A. building has been placed at the disposal of the committee for the reception of the delegates; and in case of overflow meetings, the hall of this building will be called into use. The Park Sisters, of New York, who so acceptably led the singing at Montreal, will serve in a similar capacity in

the State gathering. It is too early to announce the programme as a whole,

but among those who have been se-

cured to make the addresses are Dr. Clark and Hon. John Wanamaker.

Trenton is easy of access from all parts of the State, and ample accommo-

dations will be provided for all who come.

Dog catchers now patrol the streets of Cape May day and night, and all canines unmuzzled are gathered in.

Ocean City After the Fair. The season of '93 has come and gone, and now is a good time to take stock:

find out how we stand as a munici-

pality, as a seaside resort, and as individual members of society. As a muni-

cipality, we have granted the most

valuable franchises we possessed on the

conditions offered--virtually gifts to the seekers, by which our citizens have secured city water, city sewage, city electricity, city electric street railway system, etc., all at the hands of individual speculators. We have gotten some of our streets in the most impassable condition they have ever been known to be in. Wherever the street railway has gone the streets, with very rare exceptions are practically ruined. There are only two or three crossings safe for vehicles to cross; only one or two where any path has been provided for pedestrians. The grade of the street has been changed to suit the railroad company, and the tracks stand above the street grade from six to eight inches in several places. We have been deceived and have suffered loss by the utter disregard of the street railway company to live up to its agreement by restoring the street to the condition it was in before the tracks were laid, but our people are "long" in patience even if the railroad company is "short" in performance. However, thousands of people have steamboated across the bay, and have delightedly ridden on our electric street railway, and have had most enjoyable but imperfect views of our town; have been charmed with all they have seen, and while wondering they have never met Ocean City before, have resolved to

cultivate her acquaintance and call frequently in the future. The largely experimental nature of this first season's electric lighting has left us frequently in darkness, but the potency of its influence has also easily been seen in the surging crowds at the merry-go-rounds just as soon as the electricity put out the oil lamps, and promenaders on the boardwalk and on our streets have felt at home beneath its rays, and enjoyed its brilliancy as the smile of an old friend. For all these years too we have been strong and using the rain water from all kinds of roofs--shingle, tin and slate

--and while the cedar taste from some of the roofs did not suit the palate

of many of the users, yet it was the best could be done then. Now it is different; artesian water slightly tinged with sulphur is ready for use all over the town fresh from the Allegheny mountains, and at thirty distributing stations ready for the extinguishing of fire, and in connection with this we may mention the fact of our possessing a splendid hose carriage and 1000 feet of hose as the means of applying these Allegheny mountain streams to any burning building in our town. As a seaside resort, we have provided for our guests at the best accommodations possible, both at hotels and cottages. Not only have we seen to their being well housed but well fed. We have secured for them the most peaceful and

perfect rest and recreation; we have

surrounded them with the most perfect

sanitary condition, and have watched

over the safety of the mother and child-

ren while the husband and father was at business. The result of all this has been seen in the appreciation manifested by the people in our preparation for them. Those who as individuals improved their

properties by building, have been grati-

fied by the substantial revenues derived from them; those who were called upon

to make new streets or put down im-

proved pavements, have found them so attractive as to draw travel that way, and property increases in value as the public use it.

Our town has been full for all the season, and overflowed with guests part

of the summer, real estate has been

changing hands mostly for immediate

improvement, as if no financial panic

was dreaded, and as if money was so

plentiful as to make it difficult of investment. Many new houses are now in course of construction, many more

are being estimated on, and so in this review we conclude we have had a most prosperous year; our people have gone home (without the loss of one by accident or mishap of anykind) to sound the praise of our charming place, and bring their friends next year.

Joy Killed In a Jolly Row.

Particulars have been received of a

fatal family row at Japonica schoolhouse, 14 miles from Korville, in western Texas. Alexander Jolly became involved

in a row with Shelby Joy, his brother-

in-law, in which Joy knocked down a younger brother of Jolly. Jolly then sprang at Joy with a knife, severing one of the arteries in the neck, from which he died in a few minutes. After hiding out in the brush for some time Jolly surrendered to the sheriff and was commit-

ted to the Kerville jail. Both partici-

pants were only 22 years of age.--Cor Chicago Herald.
