THURSDAY, MAY 24, 1894. Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J. as second-class mail matter.

IF THERE is no precedent in Congress for turning out a moral leper like Breckinridge, as is intimated, then one had better be established on short order. To allow such a man to remain as a representative of this country is a disgrace to the nation, and those who refuse to move in the matter of his expulsion must not complain if the people look upon them as guilty of like crimes

against morality.

THEIR ACTS APPROVED. Had the Republican Senators agreed to pay the salaries of those Democratic revolutionists, who last January set law at defiance and stole the Senate, they would have been putting a premium on crime. In refusing to pay the salary of the revolutionists they did absolutely right and the people approve of their act. The Elizabeth Journal gives pertinent reasons why they should not be paid, which are so well worded, that we reproduce them. It says: "The rump officials ought not to be paid because they did all in their power to help the most iniquitous conspiracy this State has ever known; because they defied the majority of the people by refusing to permit the Republican Senators elect to take their proper places; because they took their chances by allying themselves with a corrupt minority, and the chances went against them. Think, for example, of paying Mike Nathan $200 for locking the Senate chamber doors and threatening to put Senator Voorhees out of his seat. The whole lot of them, rump Senators, rump officials and all, were a band of organized conspirators, and it would be simply infamous for the State to pay conspirators. The Republican Senators did exactly right in refusing to pay the bills

of these men."

UNWISE ACTION. There used to be a system in this city of lighting the streets only on nights on which the almanac announced there would be no moonlight. Cloudy nights might follow one another during the whole period of the moon's radiance--it was a matter of comparative indifference to the officials--the lamps were not lighted. Theoretically the moon was shining brightly, even though rain was falling in torrents or an inky darkness shrouded everything. In like manner, theoretically, from the months of May to September there are no storms on the Atlantic Ocean. Acting on this assumption, the United States, when it established life-saving stations on its coast, decided to close them during these four months of the year. City officials have found that the moon is not always visible when the almanac pronounces it radiant, and have the street lamps lighted nightly; but the United States apparently have not yet recognized the fact that there are frequent and severe storms during the summer, through which vessels are wrecked, human lives sacrificed and treasure lost, for with the regular coming of May day the life-saving stations are closed, and between that time and September 1st what lives and treasure are saved from the wrath of the sea must be saved by volunteers. Efforts have been made every year to induce Congress to take a sensible view of the matter and have permanent lifesaving stations, but thus far without

avail.

DECORATION DAY. We have been pained to note the lack of interest of late years in Decoration Day.

Can it be we are growing careless and indifferent, neglectful and forgetful of the heroic sacrifices of our brave sol-

diers? Do we appreciate the true value of their services? Who that truly loves his country would see Memorial Day pass without, in some way, remembering the dead, and honoring the living? Who that enjoys the blessings so dearly bought on many a hard-fought field would have the day pass without telling the story to the living? How better rekindle the fires of patriotism than by recounting the valorous deeds of our heroic dead?

What more fitting time to teach the love of country, of home, of virtue, than on Decoration Day?

We should cut their names on the lasting granite, and grave their deeds on our hearts and minds, lest, being forgotten, our land, like Greece of old,

be free no more. The ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic are being

thinned by year as the veterans answer the last roll-call; hence it more than ever devolves upon civilians to promote the patriotic cause.

Will old Cape May be behind her sister counties? We believe not. Let us then gather rank and file at our

county seat and make the day one long to be remembered.

All civic societies and public school children are specially invited. The exercises will begin about one o'clock.

A Hugh Fish. A fish weighing about three hundred pounds, supposed to be of the Dolphin family, came ashore at this place Sunday. When the monster was cut open it was found to contain a small fish measuring two and one-half feet in

length. The specimen of the finny tribe is supposed to have been searching for shallow water in which to spawn, and during the storm was stranded.

A Storm of Unusual Severity.

The storm which set in on Thursday

night last continued at intervals until Saturday, when it developed into an

old-time northeaster, gaining strength

and fury as the hours sped by, and it was not until Tuesday morning that

the rain-laden clouds which hung like a pall over the city for three days lifted

and the sun shone forth to gladden the hearts of our residents. Sunday and Monday the tides ran unusually high. A serious washout occurred on the Ocean City branch of the W. J. R. R. and no trains arrived or left here on Monday, but communication was restored on Tuesday, when trains commenced running on schedule time. There is no

record of a storm of such severity ever having occurred at this season of the year on this coast.

From the accounts which have reached us at this writing, the storm seems to have done much damage throughout the country.

Bloodshed at Woodbine.

The South Jersey Railroad Company succeeded in crossing the tracks of the West Jersey Railroad Company at Woodbine Thursday morning shortly

after midnight. The watchman who had been left in charge by the West Jersey officials to prevent the crossing

was captured while asleep in a box car drawn across the crossing. His weapons were removed and he was secured in the car, which was then removed from the objective point. Seventy-five workmen, with picks and shovels, who had secretly moved on the watchman, then proceeded to lay the tracks on the crossing.

The watchman expostulated, and cried for assistance, but the gang heeded him not. Before dawn of day they had completed their operations, and the crossing tracks were laid and prepared for connection at each end. Then the watchman was released, and the West Jersey officials were notified.

The tracks of the South Jersey Rail-

road were barely down when a large force of men employed by the West Jer-

sey Company appeared and at once o'clock Thursday afternoon began to tear up the rails. They were attacked

by the men in the employ of the rival concern, and a lively scrimage occurred, in which ten of the men were hurt.

Six of these were among the forces of the West Jersey Company, and the others were South Jersey warriors.

None of them were seriously hurt. Su-

pervisors Stubbs and Chentworth, of the West Jersey, were arrested and af-

terward released in $500 bail.

Logan M. Bullitt, vice president of the South Jersey Railroad Company,

when interviewed in reference to the fight, said: "The opposition of the West Jersey to our crossing their tracks has been going on ever since we attempted to build our road to Cape May. Originally we took the ordinary proceedings under the laws providing for the condemnation of crossings in New Jersey.

Upon giving notice of the commence-

ment of proceedings we were served with an injunction restraining us on the ground that the West Jersey Rail-

road Company had an agreement, dated April 25, 1890, with the Tuckahoe and Cape May Railroad Company, which was the predecessor of the branch of the

South Jersey Railroad now being built to Cape May. This agreement was to the effect that the tracks of that road

were to pass under those of the West Jersey Company. They filed a bill against us asking the specific perform-

ance of this contract. This we opposed, and at the same time filed a cross bill against them, asking that they be enjoined from making any use of that agreement in opposing our condemnation proceedings. On Monday last the Chancellor practically dissolved both injunctions, refusing us ours on the ground that this would deprive them of a legal remedy to which they were entitled, and modifying the one against us so as to permit us to go on with our condemnation proceedings. The result of this was that we should be tied up on our condemnation proceedings for some months. Having this in view, our road considered that it would be best to comply with their request and to adopt the agreement. Accordingly on Tuesday S. M. Prevost, general manager of the West Jersey Railroad Company, was notified that we were ready, and proposed to carry out this agreement, and Wednesday General Sewell was similarly notified. This agreement provides that our road shall cross the West Jersey below grade near Woodbine, and that pending the construction of such crossing we shall have the right to a temporary grade crossing over their tracks at that point. Having notified General Sewell that we proposed to comply with this agreement, we at once commenced the construction of the under-grade crossings, and also put in the temporary grade crossing, as that was essential to the proper prosecution of our work." The West Jersey Railroad officials have nothing to say beyond the fact that their road has an agreement from the Tuckahoe and Cape May Railroad, now called the South Jersey Railroad, at which all crossings were to have been made above grade.

WOODLAND CEMETERY. A Great Want Supplied

A charter has been recently obtained and a Tract of Land containing thirty acres situate on the south side of the railroad, north of Ocean View station, secured, and has been surveyed and laid out with convenient and tastefully ar-

ranged drives and plotted in lots, a plan of which can be seen at the office of Jos. I. Scull, Secretary, Sea Isle City, or Robt. Fisher, Ocean City. All lots are larger than customary size.

The West Jersey Railroad Company has built a large platform, and made Woodland Cemetery a regular stop for all local trains, thus afford-

ing a great convenience for funerals to come on the train, either from Ocean City, Sea Isle City or Avalon.

The prices of Burial Lots in the Woodland Cemetery are cheaper than in any other first-class cemetery in the county. The Company invite special attention to the numerous advan-

tages offered to purchasers in their grounds.

Come in and view them. Nature and art incite inspection and admiration. Now is the time to secure a place of interment in the very best

cemetery in South Jersey. We say the VERY

BEST. It is so on account of its improvements. The cemetery is highly respectable in the character and class of its interments in its grounds; many advantages and inducements concentrate here to attract the living; and on account of elevation it is eminently the best. Besides, it is not embarrassed with debt. It is not exceeded anywhere as a beautiful and final resting place.
