ATLANTIC CITY. A runaway team attached to a heavy lumber wagon crashed into a light delivery wagon on Atlantic avenue Thursday, and Walter Marting, a young butcher who was driving the latter, was seriously injured. William T. Shermer, of Philadelphia, is lying in the City Hospital suffering from severe wounds received in leaping from a trolly car on Atlantic avenue Sunday.

George Loder, a young railroad fire-

man, was thrown from his engine and probably fatally injured Sunday night at the Arkansas avenue Station of the

Reading Railroad. His engine was passing the water tank and he was struck in the back as he stood on the step by a projecting timber and hurled to the ground.

Two slick young swindlers victimized a number of merchants Thursday night

with a new style flim-flam game. Mrs. Mason, the proprietress of a cigar store, was one of the victims. One of the men entered her store and asked her to give him a $10 note in exchange for small bills. Mrs. Mason passed him the note, and after, as she believed, seeing him place it in an envelope, turned to count the bills. There proved to be only $9. The swindler requested her to hold the envelope containing the $10 until he could visit his hotel and get the other dollar. He then departed, and Mrs. Mason found only a blank sheet of paper in the envelope.

PLEASANTVILLE.

Mrs. J. R. Adams has rented her cottage in Ocean City and is summering on her farm. J. S. C. Hess and family, of Phila-

delphia, is visiting Mrs. Hess' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Butterworth.

We were very glad to once more see the smiling face of Joshua Carty, Jr., on the street after a short but severe illness. On July 10, the Presbyterian Sundayschool spend a very pleasant day at Lily Lake. Mark Bowen and family, of Trenton, are visiting Mr. Bowen's parents.

Pleasantville once more distinguish-

ed herself with her grand Fourth of July celebration. Music was furnished by the band throughout the day. In the afternoon, a very good game of base ball was played by the Pleasantville and Atlantic City Clubs, resulting in a

victory for the former by a score of 18 to 4.

Mrs. Jemima B. Risley, of this place, has accepted a position with J. L. Adams, of Ocean City, for the summer.

Job Gifford is still suffering from the wound he received by being kicked by a horse three weeks ago. Mrs. Ada Bowen, who fell from the church steps eighteen weeks ago, improves very slowly.

A Bank Forger Caught.

Detectives Tate and McKenty, of Philadelphia, and Leeds and Edwards, of Atlantic City, made a most important capture near Absecon Friday, when they caught Richard Lennox, alias R. E. Goodwin, alias H. L. Leonard, a notorious crook and forger, who is wanted in nearly every State in the Union, but principally in Milwaukee, Wis. In this latter city, on January 24th last, he defrauded two banks of $25,000 and immediately skipped and

went to New York.

Here he purchased a saloon on Chambers street, but hearing that the officers were on his track he sold the place and came to Absecon, a village about twelve miles from here, where he purchased a farm. He was on it in fancied security when the detectives came upon him. He made a hard fight for his liberty and drew a revolver, but was quickly disarmed and taken to Atlantic City. He was remanded until requisition papers arrived from Wisconsin. In addition to the farm at Absecon and three teams in Atlantic City, Lennox has over $30,000 in local banks, and claims ownership of one of the big cafes in the latter city.

A Common Sense Sabbath.

A well-known Methodist preacher once related in the Auditorium at Ocean City, how, when being asked to preach in Philadelphia on a certain Sunday, he declined for no other reason than that compliance involved a Sunday ride on

the ferryboat from Camden where he resided.

If your correspondent understands the doctrine of Jesus Christ touching Sabbath observances, He would have preached in Philadelphia, and thus have impressed man's achievement in

riding the waves into the service of God.

A leading Philadelphia preacher who was once uttering very radical views as to the stoppage of all manual labor in all spheres of human effort on Sunday, was asked from the audience whether a modern steamship could stop and stand still in mid-Atlantic in order that the seamen might rest the Lord's Day through. He was speechless, and in some mumbling kind of answer admitted the futility of his argument. If any one thing is apparent, it is that an absolutely "quiet Sabbath" is a

moral and physical impossibility; repugnant to Christian activity and generally to Christ's example of going about and doing good.

It is no harm to get rest and re-crea-

tion by orderly going about on Sunday.

It is no harm to use horse-flesh, steam and electricity in this going about. It lessens man's toil to utilize them.

If these things be true, it seems rea-

sonable that Ocean City in summer should enjoy the same facilities for Sun-

day activity as it does for week-days.

Franchises, permitting the use of streets by common carriers contemplate an unbroken service unaffected by religious standards.

To boil all this down, give us the trolley seven days in the week, and watch the city grow, and Christianity grow with it. COTTAGER.

The Macedonia Mission.

The A. M. E. Church holds services every Sunday during July and August in Steelman's Hall, Rev. J. Edward Gumby, pastor. The Mission is supported by voluntary contributions from its members and friends. All are cordially invited

to be present.

Rev. Gunby is an enrolled student at Drew Theological Seminary, having entered the Junior Class of last year. In 1892 he was a lay member of the

General Conference of the M. E. Church

held at Omaha, Neb. He graduated from the Institute for Colored Youth of

Philadelphia in 1884, and began to teach in the public schools of Cape May City, where he remained five years. From there he went to Mt. Holly, where

he remained three years.

Had he continued in the profession of teaching, he doubtless would have soon reached a prominent place among the educators of the State, as the examiners of Burlington county pronounced him the best informed colored man in the public schools, south of Trenton.

He was a member of the City Council of Camden from 1894, where he served until he felt called to the nobler work

of saving souls. He was twice offered a professorship in one of the schools of the M. E. Church, but declined. He

was an organist and chorister of the church in Camden until he left to attend Drew Seminary last September. He is recommended very highly by his Pre-

siding Elder, who speaks of him as being an excellent speaker. He re-

ceived a call to the pulpit of St. John's M. E. Church of Orange, N. J., which he declined for the reason that he felt the need of more experience, having been licensed only since January 2, 1894. May his labors be blessed among the colored people of Ocean City. The services promise to be interesting, as a choir is to be organized and they expect to have an organ to lead the singing, and a cornet to assist.

Tarred and Feathered.

Joseph Semple, of Somers' Point, three miles distant from this place was taken from his bed last Wednesday night on his father's farm by a half dozen masked men and tarred and

feathered. Semple is rather handsome and has been engaged to be married to

several farmers' daughters, but broke off each engagement, and then circulated scandalous stories about the young ladies. Until recently, Miss Susie Mc-

Intyre wore his ring. The engagement was broken off, and Semple has been telling stories reflecting on the good name of Miss McIntyre. Her father

met Semple on the street Wednesday, and used a horse whip on him in a vigorous manner.

Late at night a number of men, presumably brothers or friends of the girls he had talked about, went to the Semple farm. One of their number enticed Semple's father to come downstairs, and then the others rushed into the house and into the room where Semple was sleeping. He was dragged down-stairs amid cuffs and kicks, and

tied to a tree and given a coat of tar and feathers. A horse whip was then used on his back, and he was warned to leave the locality.

While the tarring and feathering was being done old Mr. Semple was pre-

vented from coming to his son's assistance by a couple of the avengers. Semple says he recognized several of the men, and will have them arrested.

Held in $3000 Bail for Court.

David Bernstein, one of the three burglars who broke open and robbed the general store of P. Flannigan at Tuckahoe of goods estimated to be worth

$500 and who was captured on the Jackson Road about two miles above Weymouth by Constable Williams and posse

after a hard chase, together with two horses and wagons containing the

stolen goods, was arraigned before Magistrate Iszard in the May's Landing Court House Friday morning for a final hearing.

A number of witnesses were examined and the story of the robbery and cap-

ture as told in these columns last week was offered in evidence.

The prisoner plead not guilty to the charge, although measurements of his feet tallied with the foot prints in the im-

mediate vicinity of the burglarized store, the finding of the stolen goods in his possession and his attempt to escape when pursued by the authorities.

Magistrate Iszard decided that the evidence was sufficient to hold the prisoner in $3000 bail for court and in default of that sum he was committed

to the county jail to await the action of the September Grand Inquest.

Detectives are on the trail of Bern-

stein's two companions, who escaped.

The men belong to a gang that has been robbing country stores in South Jersey for the past two years.

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

CAPE MAY CITY. Cardinal Gibbons arrived at Cape May last evening for a stay of several weeks, and is a guest of Mr. C. Thomas. He is accompanied by his private secretary, Rev. Father. Russell.

BELLEPLAIN.

The two small sons of James Carrack started to walk over to their grand-

parents, about two miles away, on Wed-

nesday to spend the Fourth and remain over night. The next day, when they did not return home, Mr. Carmack

thought they had decided to remain there until he came in a wagon Friday morning. He was greatly surprised to

learn that the boys had not reached his father's, and that nothing had been heard of them. He notified a large

number of neighbors, who searched all day, but without results. Guns were fired and the country overrun for miles

about. There are a half dozen gangs of tramps in this locality, and it is thought that they may know something of the disappearance of the lads.

OCEAN VIEW.

Lizzie Swain, of Philadelphia, is visit-

ing the family of J. L. Smith.

Mrs. Hattie Edwards, of Philadel-

phia, is spending a season with her parents.

Mrs. Emma Voss has returned home after a two months' stay with Quaker City relatives. Carlos Corson and family, of Ocean City; Hiram Sack, wife and child, Frank and Cornelius Smith and wife, of Petersburg were visitors with Isaac Howell on Sunday. Mrs. Thomas Smith and son Walter, of Philadelphia, are spending a few days here. Miss Nettie Gandy, of Ocean City, is spending this week with relatives here. Mrs. Albert Adams and children, of Camden, are making a visit with Mrs. Lydia Corson. A. C. Townsend and family, of Palermo, was with relatives here on Sunday. Rodney Gandy and wife, of Millville, are making a ten-day stay with Lewis Gandy.

Pierce May Confess. Richard Pierce, the young mulatto who is confined in the Bridgeton jail for the murder of his wife, and who will be hanged at Cape May Court House to-morrow, has at last given up the slender thread of hope to which he has been clinging, that of getting a new trial. He now seems to realize for the first time his approaching doom, and wants to prepare for it. Rev. J. S. Thompson is his faithful spiritual adviser, and has, after much effort, gotten the murderer to begin to make an effort in preparation for eternity.

While Pierce has not yet made a con-

fession, it is thought that he will do so before the time for execution arrives. The clergyman is trying to get him to confess his guilt, and Pierce has received several letters from Cape May county friends urging him to do so. He does not seem greatly cast down by the thought of his fate, but spends much of his time in singing songs as he sits in his cell, only a few feet away from his death watch. Sheriff Hand will go to Bridgeton this afternoon and stay

over night, and to-morrow morning bring Pierce to the Court House for the execution.

Sheriff Smith E. Johnson, of Atlantic county, sent to Sheriff Hand Atlantic county's gallows, to be used in the exe-

cution of Pierce. Governor Werts' Private Secretary, Mr. Fox, delivered the death warrant to Sheriff Hand on Saturday night.

Sunday Services. The Rev. L. O. Manchester preached to fair audiences both morning and evening in the First M. E. Church Sunday last. Notwithstanding the extra services in the Auditorium, this gentle-

man's well-known ability as a preacher continues to attract good congregations.

A large attendance was present both morning and evening at the Auditorium to hear Rev. A. G. Lawson, D. D., pastor of the North Baptist Church, Camden. The subject of his evening's discourse was "The Ideal Republic." During his remarks he said if ignorance, immigration, infidelity, rum, Roman-

ism and ring-rule were eliminated from this country, we would have "An Ideal Republic."

In the afternoon Sunday-school was held in the First M. E. Church and Auditorium, both being well attended. The latter school is non-sectarian.

In the evening a surf meeting was held, when J. O. Downs, of this place; Rev. B. H. Sanderlin, of Philadelphia, and Rev. Dr. Lawson, of Camden, delivered addresses. These meetings are held at 6.30 p. m., and continue one hour.

Next Sunday the W. C. T. U. will have charge of the services under the leadership of Mrs. Booth, who will speak at both morning and evening meetings.

The Fourth Celebrated. The Methodist Protestant Church of Mount Pleasant, Atlantic county, cele-

brated the national holiday in their pleasant grove near the church in a very interesting and appropriate manner. Although the day was intensely warm, hundreds gathered from miles around to enjoy the grateful shade, greet friends, share the well-known hospitality of this people, and have their hearts enthused by the patriotic addresses of the day. The Scullville Union Band enlivened the day by their fine rendering of many

popular and national airs.

At 11 a. m. the people gathered at the stand and listened with profound at-

tention to an earnest and eloquent address by Rev. C. K. Fleming, followed by Rev. Cowan, of Pleasantville, and Rev. Austerberry, of English Creek. In the afternoon, Rev. W. D. Stultz, of Bridgeton, delighted the people by his stirring and appropriate address. Rev. Turpin, of Absecon, and Rev.

Cobb, of Atlantic City, also assisted in the exercises of the day. Pleasant games and amusing exercises kept all well entertained until the supper bell called to the well-spread tables.

Rev. J. Watson, the pastor, who is greatly beloved by his people, had charge of the exercises of the day.

Notice. The services of the Episcopal Church will be established here next Sunday.

Several clergymen will officiate. The services on Sunday will be held in the School House, Central avenue south of Eighth street. Morning services with sermon, 10.30. Evening prayer, 5 p. m.

All are cordially invited. All are welcome.

E. Morris, 810 Asbury avenue, has just received a lot of ready-made wrappers, dresses and muslin underwear.

Bargains in ladies' and gents' hosiery, bathing shoes, caps, etc.; also a fine line gents' furnishing goods.

The Fourth.

The Fourth passed off very quietly in Ocean City. A majority of the business houses observed a half holiday.

Quite a number of private and public houses were decorated with flags and Chinese lanterns in honor of the day.

The bicycle race advertised to take place in the afternoon did not come off owing to some misunderstanding, but the balance of the programme was faithfully carried out. As the shades of evening began to fall, the surging mass of humanity that crowded the boardwalk betokened some great attraction in that direction, and those who were fortunate enough to be present were treated to one of the grandest display of fireworks ever witnessed in this locality.

This portion of the exercises was under charge of a master hand, and the many expressions of delight heard on all sides bore testimony to the worth of the exhibition.

Harry Conver, chairman of the com-

mittee who had the display in charge, deserves much praise for his indefati-

gable efforts to make the Fourth of July, 1894, a memorable day in the history of Ocean City.

Ocean City.

Ocean City's booming, That anyone can see. Just walk along the boardwalk, And you'll think the same as me.

Upon the glorious Fourth, There was a splendid sight, Of sky-rockets, roman candles, And red and colored light.

The trolly cars are running, The electric light doth shine, Although sometimes it does go out, Long before 'tis nine. The bathing here is splendid, Come down and have a bath, And the way some some people bathe, Is enough to make you laugh. The merry-go-rounds are running, And everything is gay. Come down upon the very next train, And spend a pleasant day. EDNA W. E.
