CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents.

WILDWOOD.

An entirely new feature in Memorial Day services was introduced here. A large number of handsomely dressed little girls marched to the end of the ocean pier, and, after singing appropriate hymns, strewed flowers out over the ocean in honor of those who lost their lives while fighting on the high seas in the defence of their country. A number of addresses were made. OCEAN VIEW. Summer weather the first of the week. Captain Alexander Smith was home on Sunday. Griff Gandy has placed a picket fence in front of his residence. E. C. Cole is having an addition built to his house. Miss Lizzie Smith was with Court House relatives last week. Henry Whelen, of Philadephia, spent one day last week with Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Whelen. Some of our residents spent Decoration Day abroad while those from a distance spent the day here. Howard Wheaton and Marcus Edwards, of Philadelphia; B. R. Smith and wife, of Ocean City; Mrs. Crawford Buck and daughter Laura, of Sea Isle, and Mrs. Harriet Howell, of Court House were Sunday visitors here.

WOODBINE. Charles Hampton, 19 years old, attempted suicide Saturday in front of his sweetheart, Mary James, on her father's farm about a mile from here. The girl is 17 years old and was engaged to be married to Hampton, but after a quarrel several months ago, she declined to receive him to her home. He wrote letters to her, saying if she persisted in her conduct, he would kill himself. She paid no attention to his letters, and when he called Saturday, she refused to see him, but on being urged by her mother she finally changed her mind. Hampton begged forgiveness, and when the girl said she would never consent to their marriage, he drew a pistol and shot himself in the left shoulder. Afterwards he lamented that the ball had not struck the heart. Farmer James took Hampton to his

home in a wagon. The man's wound is not serious.

CAPE MAY CITY. The boulevard overlooking the ocean, called Beach avenue, is in fine condition this year. It has been thoroughly overhauled by Street Supervisor Wales, whom the new Council put in office this spring, and has been made into an excellent drive, the sand having been hauled away from it and good packing gravel put in its place. Drinking fountains for the public use have been put on the boardwalk and there are quantities of seating places along the walk for tired pedestrians to rest on as they are sight-seeing at the resort. The sun pavilions on the beach are most convenient, and only prove that more of them are needed. But just across the drive on the landside are all the bath houses with their low piazzas, under which many can rest from the sun's rays on hot days. Cape May not only has good places for preparing to bathe, but it has a fine surf. The beach is so level and free from holes, that there is no danger in the breakers. The undertow is not dangerous, and there is rarely a case of drowning by timid people. It is only the too brave and daring ones that get away out of reach that drown. Last year there was not a single case. The streets are being put in first-class order, and some of them are being paved with asphalt blocks; a novelty to Cape May. The old conservative element which has controlled Cape May so long would never go into paving, but would spend thousands of dollars on oyster shells and gravel a year, only to be taken away to allow new to go down on the following Spring. The new Council have begun with an idea of permanency, and begun first with the streets. Washington street, the main business thoroughfare, was the one on which the beginning was made. The water works have been improved during the past year so that there is now excellent water from Cold Springs, where visitors used to go in carriages to get vessels of it and bring home, because it possessed a peculiar medicinal property. To-day the spigot only needs to be turned on, and the force of the city engines drives it through its three miles of mains to your glass. So, unlike Philadelphia, people who come here want city water first, last and all the time. Cottages have rented well so far this spring, and during the past two weeks the agents have been doing a good business. Mayor James M. E. Hildreth, and the new City Council under his control are making every effort to bring Cape May forward. They have begun to invite capitalists here by reducing the taxes fourteen per cent, less than last year.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has already put on a portion of its summer service of express tarins, and the arrivals have been larger since the new trains were put in service. The road-

bed to Cape May has been put in excellent condition, is well ballasted, and riding over it is very easy. From every indication the South Jersey Railroad, to be run in connection with the Reading's Atlantic City line, will have its tracks to the resort in a couple of weeks, and will run passenger trains during the season. Although the thermometer registered but 74 and there was a cool ocean breeze blowing, Napoleon B. Smith, a pilot, was rendered unconscious from sunstroke Monday while at work on his pleasure yacht. We do all kinds of Painting. Graining and Sign Work a Specialty. B. R. Smith & Sons, 1046 Asbury avenue.

The South Jersey Railroad. The South Jersey Railroad is receiving instalments of its new car equipment from the builders, Harlan & Hollingsworth Company, Wilmington, Del., and the handsome new coaches are now in use on some of the trains, drawn by the big "racing" engines recently built for the company by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. The coaches are novel in design, being notable for their length, width and height of ceiling. They are constructed to carry about fifteen more than the customary number of passengers accommodated in the ordinary car, and their length is increased sufficiently to provide more than the usual space between the seats. The interior finish of the coaches is quartered oak, beautifully panelled and carved, the upholstery being in old gold silk plush. The contest over the crossing at Woodbine, on the West Jersey Railroad has been settled. A number of conferences have taken place between the officials of the opposing corporations, and an agreement has finally been reached whereby the new road will have an overhead crossing at both Woodbine and Cape May Court House, the detailed specifications being embraced in an order which the contestants united in submitting to Chancellor McGill, and which the latter approved and entered a decree accordingly. The road will probably be opened for regu-

lar travel to Cape May by June 10th or 15th.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, June 4, 1894.

FOURTH ANNUAL SUMMER SALE OF MUSLIN UNDERWEAR June 1st is a great date in our business year. Two White Fairs for the sale of Women's Muslin Underwear occur each year as a part of our sales-sys-tem. Tens of thousands eagerly await the announcements, and are never disappointed. The news to-day is more interesting than on any previous similar occasion. Prices are lower than ever. Very large contracts made with the most extensive and enterprising manufacturers months since enabled them to keep labor employed in the dull season and secured cheaper rates. Efforts will be made to match our prices. Intelligent comparison will show that competition cannot meet these offerings.

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 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.t It is not exceeded anywhere as a beautiful and final resting place.

For further information apply to JOS. I. SCULL, Secretary, Sea Isle City, N. J.
