H. Kalbach, electrician for Ocean City Electric Light Company, while re-

pairing a trolley wire on Tuesday morning touched a wire and received a severe shock, from the effects of which he suffered for some time. Mr. Kalbach had climbed to the top of one of the street cars to repair some damage to a wire at the time of the accident, and had it not been for an assistant, who was close at hand, catching the dazed man as he fell, he would have plunged headlong into the roadway. The injured man was taken to his home on West street. Mr. Kalbach received a number of severe burns.

Alphonso Chester, aged 17 years, of Philadelphia, has been held for court on a charge of breaking into the store of Myer & Lofkowitz, on Atlantic avenue, and stealing two watches, two revolvers and a bicycle. He confessed the deed, it is said, and the stolen property was recovered. A chambermaid at the Argyle House was arrested Friday on suspicion of robbing Mrs. Brown, of Philadelphia, a guest at the House, of $150. The money was taken from beneath a pillow in Mrs. Brown's bed room. The prisoner confessed, and returned all but $5 of the money, whereupon the complainant refused to prosecute. The Hotel Traymore, purchased a few years ago for $125,000 by the firm of W. W. Green & Co., has passed into the control of a stock company, the stock in which will be controlled by New York and Philadelphia capitalists. C. F. Lang, of Pittsburg, a visitor, on Wednesday last had jewelry, which he claims was valued at $225, and cash amounting to $68, checked at one of the bathing establishments, and left the brass check hanging in a dressing room. While on the beach he thought of the check, and, on hurrying back, found that it had been presented and the valuables handed over to a young man who called for them. Long has placed the matter in the hands of a detective. The detachment of the Salvation Army stationed here has been recently reinforced, pursuant to an order issued by Commander Booth that "Satan should be fought on his own stamping grounds, the seaside resorts." Big beach meetings are held every Sunday, and daily services at the army's barracks, with good results. The Japanese at this place, numbering twenty-two merchants, have formed an organization and contributed $1500 for the relief of their countrymen fighting in Corea.

The Musicale. The musicale given in the Auditorium last Friday evening under the direction of Mrs. Dr. H. H. Kynett drew together a very fair audience. The compositions rendered were of the higher order, and those who were present enjoyed a rare musical treat. While the entire programme was excellent, yet the solo numbers offered better opportunities for the display of voice culture. Mrs. Dr. Edwin Van Dusen, soprano soloist, possesses a sweet voice of much compass, and her appearance upon the platform was the signal for prolonged applause. She was ably supported in quartet by Mrs. H. G. Steelman, alto. The tenor solos by H. A. Darby were so well received by the audience that he was the recipient of prolonged encores. The gentleman's tones were clear and full, and he sand with an ease that comes only from careful training and perfect command of the voice. E. C. Hall's violin solos, full of difficult execution, proved him an artist in his chosen line. A. L. Manchester filled the indispensable, though often thankless, position of accompanist with naked ability, and also appeared in solo. Mr. Manchester, who is director of the Camden Musical Academy, is wedded to his profession. He has a full, musical baritone voice, which was used with good effect in duo composition. The management deserves much credit for the success of the evening's entertainment.

CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents. TUCKAHOE. The schooner Priscilla Scribner has been purchased for $3400 by Philip M. Wheaton, of this place. MT. PLEASANT. Three tramps applied for food at the farm house of Jeremiah Harvey early Thursday evening, and were told to first cut wood. They refused to do this, and became abusive. Mr. Harvey attempted to close the door in their faces, but they prevented him from doing this. He started to go up-stairs to get his gun, but they guessed what he was after, and grabbing him, threw him down on the floor, and while two of them held him, the third searched the house, securing a few dollars. They then cleaned out the larder, and after tying Mr. Harvey departed. During these proceedings Mrs. Harvey sat by with a baby in her lap, speechless with terror. She released her husband as soon as the tramps left, and he started after them with his gun, but probably went in the wrong direction, as he could not find them. SEA ISLE CITY. Mary A. Spencer, a young and very popular girl of this place, has just succeeded in winning the applause of her many friends by punishing Joseph Casper, who has insulted a number of them by his forced attentions and his propensity to steal kisses on the sly. Mary had often heard that Joe would take a kiss now and then, though the object of his admiration strenuously objected, and she had been carrying a paper of red pepper with her for some time. Joe, all unaware of Mary's preparations, met her last Thursday night on the beach and started to walk with her. Mary kept one hand on her pepper, and when Joe hinted at a kiss, she held her peace. Joe took this for encouragement, and leaned over to kiss Mary, and received an ounce of pepper in his eyes. He swore and threatened to break Mary's head, and finally showed up at the hotel a sorry sight. Mary is the lioness of the place. Atlantic City's Big Day. Sunday, it is believed, was the biggest day in the history of Atlantic City. It was estimated that fully 175,000 people were in the City-by-the-Sea. Every hotel and boarding house was crowded, and hundreds of people had considerable difficulty in securing accomodations. The late trains Saturday night carried away many people who were tired of vainly searching for quarters. Thousands of cots were used in the parlors, dining rooms, and even the cafes of the big houses. Sunday was considered the height of the season. The boardwalk was paraded all day by a surging mass of humanity. The ocean's temperature was perfect for bathing, and it is estimated that no less than 20,000 people were in the water. The bathing establishments were unable to supply the crowds with dry robes, and so hired out the wet ones received from those who had already been in the water. Sixty carloads of Hibernians, about 4200 people, came down in the morning, besides two trains loaded with Philadelphia expressmen, about 6600 excursionists in all. Thrilling Rescue at Atlantic City. Robert Fenton, of Philadelphia, was rescued from the surf at the foot of Kentucky avenue Saturday afternoon by Life Guards Foster, Brown and Gifford. It was the most exciting rescue of the season, and for several moments the odds were even that Fenton would find a watery grave. The day was stormy, and the waves were running in a dangerous fashion. Shortly after 3 o'clock young Fenton, who was fearlessly swimming out beyond his depth, threw up his hands, and a moment later a wild cry for help reached the ear of Guard Foster, who grabbed a line and sprang into the water. The life-line proved too short,

and Guards Brown and Gifford put out to Foster's aid in a boat.

All this time young Fenton was struggling desperately for his life, and the boat reached him just as he gave up the struggle. It was a hard task to resuscitate him. Fully 5000 spectators witnessed the rescue and cheered the guards.

Arrested a Bather.

Hugh McFadden, of Philadelphia, was a crest-fallen victim of the law Saturday at Atlantic City, when he was taken into custody on the beach while attired in a bathing robe, and rode through the streets in that costume to police headquarters. He was guilty of disorderly conduct and kept over night in a cell in his airy outfit. There were three friends in bathing with him, and they searched in vain for him all the afternoon to take him home, leaving the city in the afternoon under the impression that he was drowned, his clothing being still in the bath house when they left the city. McFadden could not recall the name of the bath house where his clothing was, and the officers were therefore unable to get them for him. Militia in Camp at Sea Isle. Company D, of the Sixth Battalion, Second Regiment, National Guard of the District of Columbia, arrived at Sea Isle City on Sunday to go into camp for a week, and was received by the Ordway Rifles, a company of the same regiment.

The newly-arrived company is composed of War Department clerks, and is known as the "War Department Guards." It is under the command of Captain R. E. Wilson and Second Lieutenant James N. Fairley. The Ordway Rifles, Captain Williams commanding, have devoted a week to rifle practice. They left for Washington Sunday morning.

A SEQUEL TO A SCANDAL. The Physician Marries the Woman Who Caused the Trouble After Her Husband Secured an Unopposed Divorce.

A story which created a profound sensation in Camden a year ago will be revived at the hearing of Dr. A. T. Dobson before Judge Pennypacker on the last day of this month. The plaintiff is the doctor's father-in-law, William Curtiss, formerly of Camden, now a resident of West Philadelphia, and doing business as a broker in the Drexel Building, who will try to obtain possession of his deceased daughter's two children, on the ground that they are not surrounded by proper moral influences. The history of the sensation dates back to last September, when Dr. Dobson, who was a prominent physician of Camden, a member of the Board of Public Instruction and a deacon of the

First Presbyterian Church, was discovered by his wife in a closet in the house of Clarence Coxey, 428 Linden street, that city, where he had been concealed by Mrs. Coxey. The result of the exposure was the death of Mrs. Dobson, and the separation of Coxey and his wife. The parties concerned were all well known in Camden society.

On September 20, 1893, Mrs. Dobson, having some suspicions that her husband's relations with Mrs. Coxey were not purely professional, and learning that he was at that time visiting her, went to the Coxey residence, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. William Curtiss. Through strategy the two ladies gained admission and saw Mrs. Coxey, who denied that Dr. Dobson was in the house. She offered to allow them to search the place for him, but showed a disinclination to permit them to enter a certain room on the second floor, the key to a closet in which she had concealed in the waist of her gown.

Mrs. Dobson attempted to obtain this key by force and the two were en-

gaged in a violent struggle when the doctor burst open the door of the closet and faced his angered wife. The latter upbraided him and went at once to the Justice of the Peace Philip Schmitz,

where she swore out a warrant for her husband's arrest. The doctor waived a hearing, a friend furnishing $500 bail.

He claimed that his visits to Mrs. Coxey were purely professional and that his wife's suspicions were without foundation and caused by excessive jealousy.

Mrs. Dobson at once left her husband's home at 331 Penn street and, with her two children, went to the home of her parents, who lived at 205 Pearl street. She had been in poor health for two or three years and, after the trouble, declined rapidly. On the

3d of October, less than two weeks after her discovery, she died.

Another phase of the case which excited great comment was that Coxey, who was out of town at that time of the exposure, believed in the protesta-

tions of innocence made by his wife on his return, and to show his faith in her appeared several times on the streets of Camden in company with Dr. Dobson.

While people were remarking upon this fact, and six days before the death of Mrs. Dobson, Mrs. Coxey confessed her guilt to her husband, and he immediately sued for divorce, which was soon granted, no defense being made by Mr. Coxey.

Then the matter died out and has not been heard of since. Mrs. Coxey left Camden, and later Dr. Dobson also ab-

sented himself from home, taking his two children with him. Mr. Curtiss and his wife surmised that Dobson would meet Mrs. Coxey elsewhere and the two would marry. Accordingly a detective's services were secured, and when a man came to the Windsor Hotel, Philadelphia, on July 21, accom-

panied by a woman and two children, who registered as William Jones and family, of Washington, D. C., Mr. Curtiss was informed that "William Jones" was none other than his son-in-law, Dr. Dobson, whereupon he obtained a writ of habeas corpus requiring the doctor to produce the children in court. Without waiting to consult counsel, the doctor at once made his appearance before Judge Pennypacker, who decided to postpone the case until August 31, and ordered the children to be given into the care of their grandfather, Mr. Curtiss, until that time. The latter was represented by N. Dubois Miller, while the doctor did not engage a lawyer until the day after his appearance in court, when he took the case to Alexander & Magill, who will represent him at the hearing. There is no reason to doubt that Dr. Dobson and Mrs. Coxey are now man and wife. This statement he is said to have made to his counsel the day after his appearance in court. That he registered under an assumed name he ascribes to the fact that he expected trouble with Mr. and Mrs. Curtiss, who had already issued an attachment against him to cover a certain claim.

Mrs. Coxey left the hotel last week for parts unknown, and Dobson departed Monday afternoon. The children, Martha and Elizabeth, are safe in the care of their grandfather, who is determined to secure them permanently. He considers his case a strong one, and is prepared to make a bitter fight. He is very reticent, dreading further publicity in connection with the matter. Mr. and Mrs. Coxey are well known in Ocean City, where Mrs. Coxey spent her summers. | A New Superintendent. Superintendent U. S.

Ocean City Camp Meeting.

Rev. A. B. Richardson, D. D., of Ho-

boken, N. J., preached in the Audito-

rium morning and evening, both services being well attended. The surf meeting, under charge of Dr. D. W. Bartine, was largely attended. Revs. William Boyd, John W. Lyle, A. B. Richardson, D. D., and others, delivered short addresses. The fourteenth annual camp meeting, under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was inaugurated Sunday night in the presence of a large audience. The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was celebrated, with the Rev. S. W. Lake, President of the Association, in charge, assisted by the Rev. A. B. Richardson, D. D., formerly pastor of the Centenary M. E. Church, Camden; Rev. William Boyd, pastor of the

First Presbyterian Church, of Lans-

down, Pa., and other ministers. The religious interest was intense, and exceeded anything seen here since the work began in 1880. Monday morning Rev. William Boyd preached an interesting and helpful sermon. In the afternoon, Rev. T. Kirkpatrick, of the Philadelphia Conference, preached an earnest sermon from the text, "But one thing is needful." At 6.30 in the evening the first young people's service was held. These services are in charge of Rev. W. A. Ferguson, pastor of the Siloam M. E. Church, Philadelphia. Mr. Isaac C. Yocum, of Philadelphia, is in charge of the singing. At this meeting the temple was crowded to its utmost. At 8 p. m., Rev. J. H. Boswell preached a stirring camp-meeting sermon, which was followed by a very successful altar service. Rev. G. B. Wight, presiding elder of the Bridgeton District, preached Tuesday morning, and Rev. Grear, of the New Jersey Conference, conducted the services in the afternoon. Rev. Thomas Harrison, the evangelist, who did not arrive until Tuesday, took charge of the services in the even-

ing. During his remarks he said the camp meeting would be fully inaugurated this (Wednesday) morning, as owing to the great distance he had traveled in coming to Ocean City, he stood much in need of a night's rest to prepare him for the work.
