Elvin English is home on a visit. He will leave soon on a fishing schooner. MAY'S LANDING. At the Atlantic Shoe Company's factory, Leonard Rice had his hand crushed Friday under a 3000-pound shoe cutter. The physicians did not amputate the hand, thinking that they can save it. The young man is the son of Edward Rice, of Williamstown, who recently had a son hurt by an explosion.

EGG HARBOR CITY. A middle-aged man, who refuses to give his name, was badly hurt Monday afternoon in attempting to steal a ride on the Reading Railroad between Co-

logne and this place. He claims that one of the train hands beat him severely and threw him off the train while in motion. The doctor fears that the foot will have to be amputated to save his life.

SCULLVILLE. Lewis Lashly, aged 21 years, of this place, jumped from a Philadelphia bound express train Saturday afternoon at Pleasantville, and was instantly killed. His young wife, whom he had married only five weeks ago, was at the depot waiting for him, and was a witness to his fatal leap. Lashly went to Atlantic City that day, and at the station got aboard the express train instead of the way train. The former makes no stops between Atlantic City and Camden, and goes through Pleasantville at a speed of fifty miles an hour. Lashly learning that the train would not stop deliberately walked to the platform and leaped to his death. He fell on his head and broke his neck.

ed, and will erect a new house in the near future. Children's Day at Asbury was a very interesting service, and the singing was excellent. All the speaking was good. Miss Susie and Miss Hattie Scull and Mr. Turner added very much to the interest by their recitations.

The Pastor, Rev. F. A. Howell, also made an address.

ATLANTIC CITY.

Henry Lohse, a resident of Philadelphia, drowned himself in the surf on Monday in the most deliberate manner,

and in spite of the efforts of a police officer to save him. He was seen to enter the water about daybreak by a

patrolman, who shouted to him and started to run toward him, but the man threw himself down, although the

water was scarcely above his waist, and disappeared. His body was recovered several hours later, and from papers in his pockets it was learned that he has a wife and child living in Philadelphia, on Noble street, near Delaware avenue.

He appeared to be about 30 years old.

An incendiary set fire to Bew's big bathing houses on Monday night, and but for the timely discovery of the flames, there would have been a disastrous conflagration to chronicle. Cyrus Bergner, chairman of the Building

Committee of the Philadelphia Bourse, was passing the establishment shortly after dark, when he saw a sheet of flame burst from the bath-house. He gave the alarm, and the firemen were on hand to put out the fire without

great damage. It was then found that a large quantity of waste saturated with oil had been placed against the frame building in order to feed the flames. The police are looking for the author of the outrage.

PORT REPUBLIC.

We feel very sad to report the death of one of our triplets immediately after the last writing; a report that he was sick, filled all with sorrow and fear of the result. He lingered five days, nearly all the time in convulsions. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Ashley Cake.

There is no news of any importance this week; the only thing noticeable is a movement to secure a position on the school board of township trustees, under the new provisions. The clerkship is the one aimed at, and it is generally believed that the aspirant is fully com-

petent for the work. It is a nice thing to be "in the ring" where a little wire-pulling can secure any petty office in which a little money is the incentive.

Mrs. Alice Blake and her husband returned home last Friday from New Haven, where they went to witness the

launching of his grand new four masted schooner, which was successfully performed.

Mrs. Blake reports enjoying her visit to New Haven, Bridgeport, New York and Brooklyn very much. She visited her aunt and cousins, widow and child-

dren of the late Captain Daniel McCollum, whom she had not seen for many years. Captain Blake returned on Monday to New Haven to see after the fitting out of the new vessel.

PLEASANTVILLE. Mrs. Albert Lake met with what might have been a serious accident last Thursday while visiting Philadelphia. When in the act of stepping off a street car the horses started, throwing the lady heavily to the ground, spraining both ankles, besides receiving a number of severe bruises. She is confined to her room from the effects of the accident.

Mr. Lucas Lake entertained Richard Smith and wife, of Steelmanville; Mrs. D. B. English, David Fairbrothers, wife and son, and Lovenia Risley last week.

Mrs. L. C. Lake and daughter left last Friday to join Mr. Lake at Norfolk, Va., to make an extended trip with him on board his vessel.

Charles Butterworth was badly hurt on Tuesday by being caught between a wagon pole and hitching post at Ed Ryon's store rat Bakersville. Dr. Job Somers is attending him, and he is improving nicely.

Miss Katie Wreutz, of Philadelphia, spent Sunday with us. There is to be a grand Fourth of July celebration at the school house grounds, consisting of speeches, patriotic songs, and a parade in the morning, and in the afternoon there will be bicycle races, base ball matches, etc. There will be a dinner provided for all those who wish it. In the evening there will be fireworks. Miss Ray Lake is becoming quite a graceful bicycle rider. The Brotherhood of the Union and the Home Communion attended special service at the Presbyterian Church Sunday evening last. Rumor has it that there will be a wedding in the near future. Joshua Adams is suffering from hooping cough.

Harry Hackett and Miss Alberta Lake, of this place, were married Sunday evening. We wish them a long and happy life.

A Neat Home. William Chew, familiarly known as "Uncle Benny," who resides on West street, near Thirteenth, has one of the handsomest grass plots in Ocean City and he is very proud of his possession.

The condition of things was not the result of change, but the outgrowth of hard, persistent labor. The grass is known as white clover, free of weeds, and stands over twelve inches high.

From the time it was sown until it had attained its growth, Uncle Benny could be seen with hoe and rake carefully cultivating the grass every evening, and now he can enjoy the result of his labor.

Uncle Benny, who is a bachelor, takes as great pride in the internal arrange-

ment of his residence as he does of its outward adornment, and as a conse-

quence he had one of the neatest and cleanest homes in Ocean City, as we can attest after a thorough inspection.

When it is remembered at Mr. Chew has passed the sixty-fifth milestone in the journey of life and follows the business of carpentering, it will be seen that he had no time for idleness. Many a lady could learn useful lessons in housekeeping from Uncle Benny. His visitors are numerous and he takes great delight in throwing his house open for inspection to those who call upon him. "Cleanliness is next to godliness," thinks Uncle Benny, and to this he couples order and method.

An Open Switch.

When the train which leaves Second street at 2:15 p. m. was backing up to that place from the Eighth street station on Tuesday it met with an accident which resulted in the turning of the rear coach over on its side, the derailing of a loaded coal car standing on Champion's siding, and the breaking of several large holes in Mr. Champion's ice house, against which the coal car was driven by the force of the collision. The accident was caused by

a misplaced switch.

From the trainmen we learn that the open switch was not noticed until too late to avoid the accident, and Baggage Master Sutton and Brakeman Newkirk,

who were riding upon the rear platform

of the overturned coach, when they discovered that collision was unavoidable, lost no time in getting upon terra firma; C. Myers and James W. Lee, who were inside the ill-fated car, were not so fortunate, and in consequence received a pretty severe shaking up when the car

left the rail.

The switch, which is located at Seventh street, is a private one, used only when cars loaded with goods consigned to F. E. Champion are to be placed on the siding at that point, and must have been opened by some evil disposed person or mischievous boys who were not aware of the disastrous consequences which would follow so soon upon the heels of their act, for the same train had passed over that spot

less than three hours previous to the

accident, when the rail was found in

proper position.

The air had been cut off from the wrecked coach, as it was the intention of the crew to leave the car at the pier, and to this fact may be attributed the severity of the collision, as had it been properly connected the engineer could have been instantaneously notified of the threatened danger and applied the

air brakes.

Should those who tampered with the switch be discovered, a salutary lesson

should be taught them.

Fortunately, the wrecked cars did not block the main track and travel was not interfered with, the train leaving this station on time. The wrecking crew placed the cars upon the track Wednesday. An Enjoyable Occasion. A very enjoyable evening was spent at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Gilbert on last Friday evening by a few of their relatives and friends. The time was spent in social conversation

and games.

The company were elegantly entertained with some very fine music, rendered on the guitar and mandoline by T. W. Schimpf and John Cunningham, two prominent musicians of Philadelphia, who have had the pleasure of traveling through a greater part of the States, and entertaining the public. Mr. Schimpf was connected with one of the theatres in Philadelphia the past season as a cornet player. After the music, the party was invited into the dining room, where they were abun-

dantly served with refreshments. Those present were Mr. and Mrs.

William Lake; Mr. and Mrs. Mark Lake; Clarence Lake, Elsie Lake, Rena

Gilbert; Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Campbell; Miss Eva Jeffries; Miss Sallie Lake, of

this place; T. W. Schimpf and J. Cunningham, of Philadelphia; Miss Clara Knauff, Edward Ayers and Winnie Ayers, of Wayne, Pa. As the hour grew late, the guests returned to their respective homes, and on bidding the host and hostess good-night, spoke of the pleasant time they had spent, and wished that they might soon again have the pleasure of spending another such an enjoyable evening together.
