The crowds of visitors that flocked into Ocean City during the latter part of last week taxed the accommodations of both public and private houses to their utmost capacity. In some in-

stances private families were induced to throw open their doors and give shelter to those who had arrived on the late evening trains. Had this not been done many would have had to pass Saturday night, particularly, at some other point.

The best ways to keep your letters out of the dead letter office is to have your name and address printed on the sta-

tionery you use. When this is done if errors are made in the address your communications are returned to you. You can get the envelopes and printing done neatly at this office and at moderate cost.

On a Trip on Their Wheels. Four members of the Ocean City Wheelman's Club--E. B. English, R. B. Stites, Jacob C. Steelman and Joseph F. Hand--started on Wednesday afternoon of last week for a pleasure trip on their wheels, and covered about 250 miles, Atlantic Highlands being the objective point, which they reached

Saturday morning.

Their first run was made to Barnegat City, where they spend Wednesday

night. On Thursday evening they arrived at Asbury Park and remained

there until Friday morning, when they resumed their journey, reaching Long

Branch that evening, and finished their

outward run the next morning. They passed through Tuckerton, Bass

River, West Creek, Toms River, Barne-

gat City, Lakewood, Point Pleasant, Sea Girt, Spring Lake, Ocean Grove, Asbury Park, Long Branch, Elberon, Sea Bright and Atlantic Highlands on their trip.

The party were much pleased with this mode of recreation, feeling that they had a better opportunity of seeing the country than other modes of travel would have afforded.

They say Atlantic Highlands, which was started about the same time our own town was, is being rapidly out-

stripped by Ocean City as a seaside resort. The tourists were wide awake to the charms of other towns, and award Elberon first place among the handsome cities along their route. The residences there are surrounded by beautiful lawns, some of them covering three

and four acres of ground. The architecture displays much taste, buildings ranging in cost from $10,000 to $100,000 each.

On the return trip the party passed Saturday night at Barnegat City, and reached Somers' Point Sunday night, arriving in Ocean City Monday morning. One of the party met with a mishap and had to secure the services of a tailor before he could proceed on his journey. The next incident of note happened when a rain storm suddenly burst upon them, drenching the party before they could gain shelter. They found a hos-

pitable door open to them, the lady of which made them as comfortable as possible, even loaning them some of her husband's extra clothing while

their own was drying. Arrayed in their borrowed toggery our natty wheelman presented a sorry sight, the heavy weight of the party, when he donned

the suit which fell to his lot, looking like an overgrown boy who had been measured for his pants during an extra dry spell.

Council Proceedings.

An adjourned meeting of City Council was held Monday evening. Mayor Steelman and Councilmen Hand, Steelman and Sampson were present. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The first thing that was called to the attention of Council was a statement and protest from Mark Baner in reference to the erecting of booths on the public park. He also read a letter from Rev. Samuel Barnes, in which it was stated that he (Mr. Barnes) was a party to a suit some time since against the Association to prevent the erecting of buildings on this block; that the Judge gave a decision that no buildings of any description could be erected thereon, and that said block must be kept free of buildings. Mr. Baner desired that Council should take hold of the matter and restrain any person from

erecting anything thereon.

The matter was referred to the Solicitor for his opinion, on receipt of which a special meeting will be held to take action. The Supervisor was instructed to brush the lot on the corner of Sixth street and Central avenue immediately, and charge the same against the property. The Mayor was authorized to negotiate a loan of $2000 from the Camden Trust and Safe Deposit Company. A quit claim deed was ordered drawn for C. B. Scott, lots Nos. 111 and 112, Section D. At this point the Mayor was excused, and Councilman Hand was chosen chairman. Bills to the amount of $439.81 were read and ordered paid. Council then adjourned.

prietors, who were at the seaside. Delu-

ridge, for some reason not yet known, shot the woman with a gun, while she was washing the dishes, blowing the back of her head off. The murderer was taken before Justice Jewett and made a sworn confession, and was then taken to the Camden jail and locked up.

ATLANTIC CITY. John Deitweiler, who lives with his aunt and grandmother in Philadelphia, a youth of 14, is locked up in the city jail upon a charge of stealing from his grandmother $300 in gold, the savings of several years. The money was taken on the 5th instant, and the boy came to this place the following day and had with him nearly $200 of the cash.

Young Deitweiler was a liberal spender while here, and he had succeeded in disbursing among the various amuse-

ments of the city $70 when found on the boardwalk by his aunt, Mrs. Lena Morsling, who seized him by the nape of the neck and led him to police head-

quarters. When searched $130 of the money was found scattered in different pockets all in gold.

Joseph Pryor, alias "Walking Joe," was jailed Sunday night by the police as a suspicious character. He was observed in company with Paddy O'Neill, among the crowd at the Pennsylvania Railroad Station and an effort was made to get both, but O'Neill made good his escape by using his legs. They are both known as old offenders. Paul Regal, aged 26, employed as elevator man at the United States Hotel, was nearly crushed to death Monday by the elevator descending upon him.

He was working in the basement at the bottom of the shaft, and tried to jump aside as the car fell, but was not quick enough. His right arm and left leg

were broken, both hips were fractured, and the unfortunate man received other injuries about the body.

Kate McKinney and Katie Ward, ex-

cursionists from Philadelphia, were rescued in an unconscious condition from the surf, Monday, by Guards Bell and Baker.

PORT REPUBLIC.

The jolly straw ride came off, but instead of wending its way down shore it went across the new bridge, which trembled with merriment as it conveyed its happy load safely over. The

pleasure-seekers consisted of the Misses Minnie, Alice and Helen French, Lida Adams, Sophia Adams, Katherine Murray, Grace Robinson, Marette Frambes, Ella Clark, George Leek, John B. Sooy, John Mullen, Daniel Rose, Leek Johnson, Mark Endicott, Will Endicott and Thomas Turner.

This summer has brought an unusual number of visitors and merry-makings to Port.

A very pleasant and most enjoyable occasion was spent at Rev. Ashley Cake's last Thursday evening by a large number of our young people. This most hospitable host and hostess do not forget that they were once as young as the youthful guests they enjoy entertaining, thereby keeping fresh and wholesome their genial nature. Pity

more could not put away life's cares for a season, drop the crabbedness and moroseness which they have allowed the burdens of life to leave with them and become like little children again, remembering that "of such is the king-

dom of heaven."

Miss Josephine Lease is visiting her cousin, Miss Midie Collins, who arrived home last Saturday evening, after a

most enjoyable visit with her many relatives and acquaintances in Camden and Philadelphia. Miss Lease is a pleasant acquisition to society here. Miss Elizabeth Little is Miss Alice Johnson's friend, whom she is visiting. Her's [sic] is another bright and pleasant

face.

The Misses Ashley have been entertaining company in their own hospitable style. Miss Ella Dilks is visiting her nephew, Master Roscoe Dilks, the bright and handsome grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bates. Eli Lashley lies very sick with typhoid fever. Some despair of his recovery. Doughty Turner was seen bicycling through the town last Sunday. Report says he is going to Texas soon, to remain several years. His object is that of education. We wish him much success.

Miss Anna Cavileer is greeted by her many friends and acquaintances with much pleasure. She will remain at home a few weeks.

Miss Simons, of Salt Lake City, is visiting her cousin, Mrs. Ashley Cake, by whom she was received with great pleasure. Captain Levi Collins, a brother of Mrs. Cake, is also a guest of hers.

Richard Collins is very sick with inflammatory rheumatism.

Got Beyond Their Depth. Miss Katie Roberts, who is engaged as a maid at an Ocean street cottage, Cape May, was taken from the surf Friday afternoon in a semi-conscious condition, but was fully resuscitated. The rescue of Miss Roberts was thrilling and full of brave and dramatic incident. She had gone in the water about four o'clock in the afternoon, when both the surf and beach were practically deserted. Remaining in the surf quite a while and apparently satisfied in shallow water, she finally essayed to swim and soon had gotten beyond her depth. Realizing her danger both from the position she was in and also from the fact of being alone, she called loudly for help. Her cries, as well as her antics, attracted the attention of Judson Harris and Barron Hickman, the life guards, and Charles Wilson, a conductor on the South Jersey Railroad, who was then walking along the beach. Almost simultaneously the three men started for the surf without waiting to remove any of their garments. Quickly they covered the short stretch of strand and then plunged into the water and fought their way out through the incoming breakers to the struggling girl. They reached her side when she had about grown exhausted, and was just giving up the struggle for life and would in the next instant have sunk beneath the surface of the water and disappeared in the outgoing tide. The gallant rescuers gathered Miss Roberts in their arms, made their way through the surf again and soon reached the strand with their burden. Every effort was made to resuscitate the almost drowned woman and success at last was met with. The services of a physician were necessary, and Miss

Roberts was taken to her home exhausted, but recovered from the possibilities of anything serious resulting. The brave men who had unhesitatingly gone to her rescue were congratulated for their bravery by many of the large crowd that had gathered almost immediately. Another rescue Friday, but one of little less dramatic interest, was that of a Miss Nanety, a guest at the Arlington. Miss Nanety had also gotten beyond her depth, but the timely presence of Lawyer Thomas T. Byrnes, of Philadelphia, rescued Miss Nanety from what might have proved a watery grave. Mr. Byrnes was swimming a short distance from Miss Nanety when he heard her cry of distress and at once struck out in her direction. Reaching her

side, Mr. Byrnes caught Miss Nanety by the arm and succeeded in landing her in a place of safety.

CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents. BEESLEY'S POINT. Constant Foster, an aged resident of this place, died Monday morning after a lingering illness of several months. The funeral took place at Trinity M. E. Church Wednesday morning. The deceased was a highly respected citizen.

CAPE MAY CITY. The large three-masted schooner J. H. Lennon, bound from the Kennebee River, Me., for Philadelphia, laden with a cargo of 900 tons of ice, went ashore at 2 o'clock Friday morning on the south bar of Hereford Inlet. The weather was very mild, and as there was no surf tugs succeeded in floating the vessel in the afternoon after throwing overboard part of the cargo. The vessel was but slightly damaged.

AVALON.

The residents of this place were

thrown into considerable excitement

on Monday afternoon when the news spread over town that two persons had been drowned while bathing in the surf. No cries for help were heard and nothing was known of the accident until one of the bodies washed ashore on the beach. The parties were Mrs. Large, wife of C. H. Large, and a Miss Von Bonbergk. They were seen a few moments before by a group of five who were bathing near by, some of the party conversing with the ill-fated ones. This beach is very treacherous, there being

a deep gully near shore, and it was in this place that the parties lost their

lives. The body of Miss Von Bonbergk

had not been recovered up to Tuesday

noon. Coroner Robinson, of Ocean City, was notified and viewed the body of Mrs. Large, which was removed to her late residence. Deceased was about 45 years of age and highly esteemed by all who knew her. She was a great church worker, and her loss will be greatly missed. Interment at Philadelphia.

SEAVILLE. John Wright, an aged and respected resident of this place died suddenly from heart failure on Monday morning,

on the turnpike, while en-route for Sea

Isle City. Deceased, who was a fish-ped-dler, had been to Sea Isle and disposed of his load of fish, and on his way home when about a half mile from the mainland he overtook three ladies with a fractious horse. The latter's horse had become frightened at a broken-down slop-cart at the side of the road and re-

fused to pass it. One of the ladies

jumped out of the wagon and called upon Mr. Wright for assistance. He responded to the call, stating at the time that he "was not much good" as he had been troubled with his heart for sixteen years. The horse was unhitched and Mrs. Klemm, one of the ladies, started with it for Sea Isle City. Mr. Wright insisted on taking the other ladies back to Sea Isle, and turned the

wagon around, reloaded its occupants,

who during the excitement had jump-

ed from the vehicle, and attaching it to the rear of his fish-cart started on the

journey. After traveling a distance of a half to three-quarters of a mile, all the while conversing with the ladies in the

rear wagon, his head was noticed to fall suddenly forward. The ladies jumped

out, stopped the horse, and on investigation found that Mr. Wright had ex-

pired. They then led the horse to Sea Isle City, where Dr. Cauffman was summoned. He pronounced death instantaneous from causes stated. Coroner Robinson, of Ocean City, was

notified, and after viewing the body

and learning the facts, gave a certificate accordingly. The body was taken in charge by the sons of the deceased and conveyed to his late residence. Interment will be made at Seaville Cemetery.

Atlantic City's Big Sunday.

The biggest season that Atlantic City has ever known is about at its height. It is estimated that the number of people on Saturday night was close to 150,000, and the mystery is how they all found accommodation. Over 225 cars came down on Saturday and Sunday by the Pennsylvania lines, and the Reading for the two days took down 364 cars. Among the excursions Sunday were the Seventh Ward Republican Club, the Samuel J. Tilden Democratic Association, the Tycoon Social, the Philadelphia and Reading Conductors' Association, the Southwest Democratic Association and the Dilligent Hose Company, of Philadelphia, about 3400 in all; and 200 farmers from the Schuylkill Railroad Division, Pennsylvania Railroad.

Several people bathed Sunday despite the rain, and all the bathing establishments were well patronized. Miss Katie Wilson, a Philadelphia excursionist, was taken from the water by the city guards as she was sinking for the last time. Nearly all of the city's five hundred or more hotels and boarding cottages are filled to overflowing.
