ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel." SMITH'S LANDING. Pardon Ryon is making extensive improvements to his residence by adding a bay window to the sitting-room, and building a new kitchen. MAY'S LANDING. The high tides in the Great Egg Harbor River and on the marshes bordering the same have afforded the sportsmen abundant sport the past week in shooting the toothsome wood duck and rail birds. The work of gathering the cranberry crop in Atlantic county will begin this week on some of the bogs. It is estimated by the growers that the yield this year will be about 30 per cent. below that of last year. LONGPORT. There was a thrilling rescue of two young ladies at this place Saturday afternoon. The heroes are Artie and Percy Remington, whose father has a cottage here. They were fishing near the point where Great Egg Harbor Inlet joins the ocean when they heard cries for help. Miss Sophia Ashton and Miss Annie Thompson, daughters of two well-known Philadelphia physicians had gone bathing at the point and had been swept beyond their depth by the swift current. The young men jumped overboard and swam to the help of the drowning girls. The current was very strong, and they had a desperate battle for life. Finally they reached the beach and fell exhausted on the sand. Percy Remington was the only one of the four who was able to go for help. His brother and Miss Thompson are still prostrated from exhaustion. LINWOOD. Mrs. Fannie Burroughs, of Ocean City, was a guest of Mrs. Dr. Edmunds, Thursday and Friday last.

The relatives and friends of Ellsworth Smith, formerly of this place, but now a resident of Atlantic City, are anxiously awaiting the results of a very serious attack of typhoid fever. Late Saturday evening a telegram reported no improvement in his condition. Miss Rena Smith visited relatives in Atlantic City last Tuesday. The orange sociable held in English's grove by the Ladies' Aid Society, on Wednesday evening of last week was a financial success, netting about $26. The proceeds will be turned over to the trustees of the M. E. Church. Much of the success of the undertaking was due to the efforts of Mrs. L. H. Smith, president, and Mrs. Kate Scull, vicepresident of the Society, who had the direction of all matters pertaining to the affair in charge. PLEASANTVILLE. Rev. W. B. Crowell, pastor of the Baptist church, has tendered his resignation to take effect Sept. 30th. He will take up the graduating course in Crozier Seminary.

Jefferson, colored, aged 34 years, of 925 Darien street, Philadelphia, fell from an omnibus Thursday night and broke her left leg above the ankle. She is in the City Hospital, and the

foot will probably have to be amputated.

Daniel Smith, colored, aged 21 years, of 1 Smith's court, Philadelphia, was Thursday night sentenced to ninety days in the county jail by Recorder Gouldey. Smith was caught with his hand in the pocket of Mrs. Mary Mealy while in the vicinity of the Excursion House.

Perhaps what is the last rescue of the year was that effected Saturday by Thomas Foley, a Germantown visitor,

who went to the assistance of Miss Fannie Bralawski, a girl in her teens, who got caught in the outward tide opposite Mississippi Avenue. Foley was engaged in a game of quoits on the beach when he heard a piercing cry come from the ocean, and turning, saw the bather's peril. He instantly rushed toward the surf, divesting himself of his coat, vest and hat as he ran forward. He swam out to the drowning girl, and reached her side as she became unconscious. Owing to the heavy tide and the impediment of his clothes he met with great difficulty in carrying his burden ashore, which he succeeded in doing after a heroic struggle and through the assistance of his friends, who were waiting for him in the surf waist deep. The rescued girl was some time in recovering consciousness, and for a time her life was despaired of. Virginia Campbell, colored, was admitted to the City Hospital Friday with a very dangerous gash in her head. How she received the wound is a mystery, but, as she was found lying unconscious at the foot of a flight of stairs in a notorious house, the police believe she was assaulted and thrown down the steps. Her condition is serious. Mrs. Ezra Megronigal returned to her home in Philadelphia on Saturday after a very pleasant visit in Ocean City, Atlantic City and Pleasantville. City Council Monday night appropriated $307,183.487 for municipal purposes during the ensuing year. Of this amount $234,783.47 will be raised by di-

rect taxation. The tax rate will be $1.90.

Under warrants sworn out by Detective Frank Souder, Minnie Weigle and Dolly Shaw were arrested Monday night for selling liquor without a license and fined $150 each, by Magistrate Gouldey. They paid their fines promptly and were released. The police Monday made a raid upon the gambling slot machines that abound in the saloons around town and scooped in half a dozen of them. Warrants were issued for the arrest of those in whose places the machines were found, and Louis Kumpf, August Ziesenis, Charles Minerd and James Ford were arraigned before Recorder Gouldey and held in $500 bail each for their appearance at Court this week.

Sudden Death at Ocean City. Harold Reed, aged 19 years, son of

Jacob Reed, of Camden, died suddenly here on Thursday afternoon of heart failure and acute congestion of the lungs and brain, superinduced by exhaustion while bathing. Deceased had been bathing in the morning and had ventured out beyond his depth, when he was heard to call for help. Charles S. Adams, of Adams' Casino, rushed out and into the surf but when he reached the place Mr. Reed was under the water. By diving he succeeded in bringing the form of the young man to the top of the water, when with the assistance of Samuel Warthman they proceeded to swim to shore. Owing to the extreme distance out and the strong current, progress was made slowly. Mr. Adams, finding exhaustion overtaking him, released his hold and got on terra firma as quickly as possible, after which Dr. Howard Reed swam out and assisted Mr. Warthman ashore with the young man. As quick as the beach was reached, Drs. H. Reed, of his city, and W. E. Hall, of Burlington, and Capt. J. M. Corson, of the Life Saving Station, put forth all efforts for resuscitation and their labors met with the desired success. The young man soon began

to breathe.

After administering the usual stimulants, the prostrate form was removed to the parlor of the Hotel Traymore, where Drs. Reed and Hall continued their labors. It was quite apparent to the physicians that the young man's lungs and brain were weak, and consequently, the chances against him. However, he lived until 3.30 p. m.--about four hours after he called for help. Coroner Robinson empanelled a jury and held an inquest when the cause of death, as above stated, was ascertained. Mr. Reed, the father of the deceased, has a cottage in this city at Fourteenth street and Asbury avenue, and had only a few days previously brought his family down for a short season, the cottage being occupied by other parties during the Summer months. The sympathy of the community, both of residents and visitors, is with Mr. and Mrs. Reed in the loss of this son, who was full of promise. The deceased was a passenger on the Ocean City excursion which was wrecked in Camden a few nights before his death, and no doubt received internal injuries from that [?]. He was also subject to heart disease. The body was conveyed to his late home in Camden on Friday afternoon. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon and was attended by a large

concourse of sorrowing friends. Interment in Greenwood Cemetery.

THE CAMDEN COLLISION. Owing to Conflicting Testimony the Coroner's Jury Fail to Place the Blame. Coroner Jacob S. Justice, of Camden, Saturday inquired into the cause of the collision between the Atlantic City and Ocean City excursion trains on Sunday night, September 2, which resulted in the death of two persons. After hearing the testimony of the train hands, telegraph operators and others, the jury rendered the following verdict: "We find that Edgar Van Lieu and Thomas Carter came to their death from injuries received by collision between trains Nos. 388 and 152, on the West Jersey Railroad at Van Hook street crossing. Owing to a complication of testimony between the operators at South Camden, Van Hook Street Station and Gloucester Station, we deem it injudicious to censure or blame either one. We think the railroad company should be more careful in the selection of operators. We exonerate the train hands from all blame." The first witness called was Harry Carter, of 533 Glenwood street, Camden, who was with his father on the Atlantic City excursion train at the time of the accident. He said that he was in the rear car of the Atlantic City excursion train. He was with his father and brother. There were about twenty other passengers in the car. When he saw the engine of the Ocean City excursion train about to dash into the train he was on, he jumped to the ground. His father, who was getting a drink of water, was killed. Jacob Van Lieu, of Trenton, father of Edgar Van Lieu, the boy who was killed, was suffering from injuries received, and was unable to be present. His statement was submitted. He said that he was sitting in the rear of the car; his son Edgar was asleep. When the train reached Woodbury he awoke, and as the train came to a stop he went to the rear door. The brakeman was a long distance in the rear, when the conductor ordered him aboard as the engineer blew for the train to move from the block signal. He saw his son was in danger, and started to seize him when the crash came. He was thrown against the window and grasped the sash. Afterward he saw the body of his boy being carried to a drug store. Joseph Brudon, engineer of the Atlantic City train, said that he was blocked by the signal at Van Hook street, and remained there about two minutes. He did not see the flagman

when he got the signal to move and blew for him. He pulled out from under the switch at a rapid rate, and got only about the distance of two cars when the collision with the Ocean City train occurred.

T. C. Wallace, conductor of the Cape

May excursion train, testified that he

was four minutes late when he reached Camden. He said that he was "blocked" at Gloucester and South Camden, or Van Hook street, and at Haddon avenue. This was why the Ocean City

train following was "blocked" at Van

Hook street.

James B. Fogg, conductor of the Atlantic City excursion train, said that he was in the rear car and had waited at Van Hook street about two minutes for

a "clear block." He was on the rear

platform of the last car when the col-

lision took place.

James Newell, conductor of the Ocean City excursion train, said that his train was about one minute late. His train left on time and was "blocked" at

Gloucester City.

Theodore Stratton, the engineer, said that he was given the danger signal, at Gloucester City, but when he blew his whistle the red light disappeared and the white one appeared. He did not see the train ahead until the light of the headlight revealed it; then he thought it was on the third track and broken down. When he found the

train was on the same track it was too

late to stop his train. He reversed the

lever.

T. J. Silver, the operator at the Van Hook Street Station, testified that he had been in the employ of the company since August, but had been a telegraph operator for three years. He stated that he received no report from the Gloucester City operator that the Ocean City train had left that place, and that the operator at that point should have held the Ocean City train until he had informed him of the passing of the Atlantic City train. Alexander Craig, the Gloucester operator, said the Atlantic City train left his block one minute late. He said: "The Ocean City train came up and I held the block on them. I called the operator at S. A. (South Camden) and asked him about the train. He reported it had left four minutes late, when it had not left at all, and I let the Ocean

City train go."

The crews of both trains corroborated the testimony given by the conductors and engineers of their trains. W. S. Caffray, operator at the Haddon Avenue signal tower, testified that he ordered the Atlantic City train held at Van Hook street, as another train preceding it, was seven minutes late.

Delicate Surgical Operation. Mrs. Ferron, wife of W. C. Ferron, section master of the West Jersey Railroad, underwent a delicate surgical operation on Sunday at her home in this city. Mrs. Ferron had been

suffering for some time with a tumor, [?] bordering on cancer, and as time wore on the pains became unbear-

able and immediate relief was necessary. The patient, in charge of a trained nurse, is doing splendidly at this writing and it is hoped her ultimate re-

covery to health will be the result.

CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES.

Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents.

TUCKAHOE.

A camp meeting under the direction of the M. E. Church will be held in Evangelist George D. Moore's large tent, beginning Sunday evening next and continuing until September 30. On Sunday--morning, afternoon and evening services are to be held; other days, afternoon and evening. Evangelist Moore will have charge of the services.

WILDWOOD.

While clearing away decayed trees near the beach a few days ago a can-

non ball, covered with rust, was found

firmly imbedded in the trunk of a

cedar. It is probable that the ball was fired from a gun of a British war vessel during the war of 1812. The cannon ball weighs over ten pounds and is in the possession of P. P. Baker.

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE.

During the terrific thunder storm which occurred here at an early hour Sunday morning, the large audience tent of Carl Browne's Commonweal Army was blown down and completely wrecked. Mrs. Wilcox, wife of the Populist candidate for Congress, found shelter in a neighboring barn, and the thirty high privates composing the army took refuge in the unfinished new county jail. Brown left here ten days ago for Ohio, and his men are beginning to be restless over his long absence.

CAPE MAY CITY.

Pastor A. F. Greenig, of the Cape May City Baptist Church, preached his fare-

well sermon Sunday.

F. Percy Smith's condition was regarded so serious Monday that Dr. Deaver, his principal physician, was summoned from Philadelphia to his

bedside.

John G. Ware, Alderman of this city, died suddenly of heart disease, at 7.30 Saturday night. He was 68 years old, and was four times Mayor of this city. He served seven terms as Alderman, and for nearly forty years continuously has been in office. He was a member of the first city Council of this place. A serious accident occurred in the surf between 5 and 6 o'clock Saturday evening in front of the Stockton bath houses. Mrs. J. H. Carstairs, of Philadelphia, who has passed the summer at the cottage of George J. Richardson, of Philadelphia, on Ocean street, was bathing at the time with four gentlemen, taking her second bath for the day. She became exhausted and was taken from the water in an almost blue condition. Two of the company were doctors and it took them an hour to resuscitate her. Walter Sims, of Cape May Point, was arrested Wednesday at Norristown, Pa., and brought to this city by Constable William Chambers. Sims is charged with passing bogus checks for small amounts and obtaining goods under false pretenses. A. Benezet, Fred. Arnold, James F. Powell, R. S. Johnson, E. Wolf and George Crawford are among the victims of his alleged swindling operations. Sims has been cutting quite a figure lately as a religious worker. He has been speaking in the social meetings of some of the churches in a way which led to the belief that he was an earnest worker, true and faithful to his public vows. He was committed to the county jail to await the action of the Grand Jury.
