OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. THURSDAY, SEPT. 20, 1894. We shall be glad to receive items of news and communications of interest to this community and our readers everywhere. All communications should be accompanied with the full name and address of the writer, not necessarily for

publication, but a guarantee of good faith.

LOCAL NEWS. Mrs. A. C. Knorr is visiting friends in Philadelphia. William A. Nixon, of Burlington, was in town for a few days during the week. Ebenezer Adams has sold three lots on Wesley avenue, near Fourth street. C. W. Boyle and family, of Collings-

wood, were recent guests of Mrs. J. E. Boyle.

Dr. J. S. Waggoner is adding a kitchen to his Asbury avenue resi-

dence.

Fred Rapp and family left on Monday morning for their home in Phila-

delphia.

Mrs. Wakelee, of Philadelphia, is being entertained by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Ida Scattergood. William Hagle has purchased a lot on West avenue, near Seventeenth street, of Ebenezer Adams. Dame Rumor says that two of our young people will, early in the coming month, desert to the army of Benedicts. Conductor Hickey is on his annual ten days' vacation. During his absence he will visit friends in New York and Delaware. James H. Linn and family closed their Central avenue cottage on Wednesday and left for their Philadelphia residence. B. C. Bingham and family, of Camden, left for their home Monday, after occupying their cottage at the Point of Beach for the past three months. Miss Lydie Colvin, of Lancaster City, Pa., spent a few days last week with

friends in our city. She was much im-

pressed with the natural advantages of

Ocean City.

Thomas A. Grace and wife, of Philadelphia, who have been sojourning at

the Hotel Brighton for the past fifteen

weeks, will leave for their home in the

city to-morrow.

R. C. Robinson, editor and proprietor of the SENTINEL, accompanied by his wife, left on Saturday for a trip to Watkins Glen and Niagara Falls. They expect to be absent about a week. We were in error in stating, in a recent issue, that R. W. Rutherford, of Philadelphia, had purchased two lots on Asbury avenue near Seventeenth street, from H. G. Shultz. The purchaser was Samuel C. Johnston, Mr. Rutherford's father-in-law. Miss Maggie Maloney, an employee of the Vandalia House, fell from the merry-go-round at Adams' Casino Friday evening while the machinery was

in full motion. She was rendered un-

conscious by the fall, but soon revived and was taken home by her friends. A few bruises were the only injuries sustained. While two men in the employ of Jacob Schuff, baker, were transferring flour from a freight car to a wagon on Friday last, the horse attached to the wagon became frightened and ran away, upsetting the vehicle and dumping the load. Fortunately the barrels remained intact. No injury was done to the wagon, and soon matters were righted and the flour reloaded. Miss Emma Mills, who has been employed at the ice cream parlors of Ira S. Champion during the past season, was taken sick a week ago, and the symptoms developed were of such an alarming character that it was deemed advisable to remove her to her home in Philadelphia, where she was taken Monday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Champion ministered tenderly to the stricken young lady's comfort, and also accompanied her on her journey home.

Rev. Samuel Tweedale Dead. Rev. Samuel Tweedale, rector of the Scott Memorial Reformed Episcopal Church, of Beverly, died Saturday evening of stomach troubles, after a few week's illness. He was called to that church from Washington, D. C., a few months since. For over thirty years he was assistant rector of St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal Church, Frankford, Pa., and about four years ago left the church and established St. Luke's Reformed Church, Frankford, taking about three hundred members, and a handsome building was erected. Rev. Tweedale was well-known in this city, where he owned a cottage up until within a few weeks ago.

A Contested Will. Three sons and a daughter of James R. Black, who died in Atlantic City two years ago, are endeavoring to break his will. Black in the will, made two years before his death, bequeathed his entire fortune of $60,000 to one daughter, Mrs. Adela B. Hayes, with the exception of $1000 that he gave to another daughter, the wife of Detective Alexander, of Philadelphia. His three sons were cut off without a cent. The sons and Mrs. Alexander are contesting the will before the Atlantic County Circuit Court, on the ground that their father was unduly influenced by Mrs. Hayes, and that he was mentally incapacitated from making a testament.

Parties contemplating having their houses moved to new locations, or ele-

vated and rebuilt will save money by

ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel."

SOMERS' POINT. N. D. Vaughn will vacate the Maltby House about the first of October and move to Bridgeton.

LONGPORT.

Constable James Smith Thursday attached the steamer Golden Gate at this place to satisfy a claim of Gabriel Garrison, for coal furnished the steamer.

The amount of claim is $196.

BAKERSVILLE. Mrs. C. L. Tilton is visiting her sons at Philadelphia and Merchantville. Mrs. Lewis Imlay and family have returned to Baltimore, after spending the summer in our village. Edna, the twelve-year-old daughter of E. C. Ryon, was presented with a bicycle by her father last week.

EGG HARBOR CITY.

Mrs. C. G. Leopold, of this city, was terribly burned Thursday by the explosion of a naphtha stove. The stove began acting strangely while Mrs. Leopold was cooking over it, and she attempted to carry it out of the building, when it exploded. It is not thought that her burns are necessarily fatal.

SMITH'S LANDING.

Joseph Turner, Jr., of the firm of Hurlbut & Co., of Texas, took his sister

Josephine and brother Doughty home

with him. Doughty will enter Daniel

Baker College and take a full course.

Mrs. Joseph Turner's new residence

is completed, and she will soon take possession of it.

Many improvements are being made to the county buildings.

MAY'S LANDING.

Articles of incorporation of the Brigantine, Beach Haven and Barnegat Transportation Company were filed in the Atlantic County clerk's office Friday. The capital stock is $100,000, with Morris Keck, John C. Kaufer and Henry German as corporators. The object of the company is to build a direct line by rail and water to Barnegat for transportation of passengers, etc., for the opening of the season of 1895.

ABSECON.

Joseph Watson and family returned to their Washington home on Saturday, after a very pleasant visit to Mrs. W.'s parents and relatives. Our enterprising blacksmith, William Cordery, has moved the house back that stood on his property, preparatory to erecting a new one to be occupied by himself and family. Mrs. Enoch Champion is spending three weeks at Cramer Hill with her son John and wife, the latter being sick. There have been a number of visitors in our town during the summer. PLEASANTVILLE. We are pleased to see Mrs. Isaac Collins about again, after a severe illness of several weeks' duration. The hard times sociable held at Mrs. Scull's Thursday evening last was a grand success in every respect. Mr. Reed carried off the honors in respect to costumes. The birthday bags brought in nearly $20.00. Harry Hackett met with an accident at Jesse Lake's wheel by which several of his ribs were broken. Miss Sallie Conover died on Thursday morning. Asa D. Parker buried an infant child on Wednesday. Wesley Megronigal and brother Daniel took a trip on their wheels to Lakewood Monday, returning on Tuesday. Horace and J. W. Risley have bought the shoe factory, and will open a laundry in it soon. Curtis Adams has returned to Westfield, after paying a ten days' visit to his mother, Mrs. Mary Adams. Salem Cemetery has been enclosed with an iron fence. A surprise party was tendered Miss Allie Adams on Thursday evening. Mrs. J. R. Adams has been called to Camden to the bedside of her daughter, Mrs. Nora Bullock. ATLANTIC CITY. Mrs. Shoemaker, a visitor from Philadelphia, reported to the police Thursday night the loss of a purse containing $140 in money and five diamond rings valued at $200. The driver of a carriage in which Mrs. Shoemaker had been riding was arrested on suspicion of robbing her, but was released soon afterwards. Atlantic City's excellent corps of life savers went off duty Saturday. The guards have made nearly a hundred rescues during the season. The Atlantic County Grand Jury has found indictments in the cases of five hotelkeepers in this city--Adolph Bertholdt, August Ziesenisz, James Ford, Louis Kumpt and Charles Minerd--for permitting the operation of gambling slot machines in their places. The indictments are for keeping disorderly houses and lottery. The Grand Jury of this county is reported to have found indictments against the proprietress of houses of ill-fame in this city, and all have closed their places and fled from the city. We noticed on our streets Friday the petit form of our charming friend, Adele Robinson, a former resident of this county. Years have not diminished the lady's vivacity. Councilman Edward S. Lee and H. B. Leeds, of Haddon Hall, have been appointed a special committee to advertise this city. The trustees of the new proposed Central M. E. Church this city have secured the title and taken possession of the Colonnade Hotel, on Pacific avenue. The price paid was $17,000. Editors Haslett and Mueller, of the "Sunday Journal," were held in $1000 bail each for Court Saturday night, charged with libel. The complaint was preferred by Royal Robinson, a colored police officer. Shortly after noon Sunday the steam-

er Atlantic City crashed into the yacht Carrie in the Inlet, tearing away a portion of the yacht's stern. Fortunately no one was injured, and the passengers

were landed safely.

The Atlantic City police made 415 arrests during the past season.

PORT REPUBLIC.

Mrs. Hattie Johnson, wife of Otheniel Johnson, and daughter of John Sooy, passed from earthly care and suffering on the morning of September 15th. The pious and gentle lady was a great comfort to her aged parents, a wise counselor to her brothers and sisters, a most affectionate wife and mother and the kindest neighbor and friend. This quiet and unobtrusive woman will be much missed and long remembered. She passed from death to life with the precious Savior's name upon her lips. Her three young daughters, aged respectively thirteen, eleven and six years, and her disconsolate husband have the deepest sympathies of the community. Mrs. Eliza Cake, who has been for several weeks hovering between life and death, does not improve, but appears to be gradually growing weaker. The relatives of Joseph L. Cake have received word that he is convalescent. Main street is constantly improving. The neat cottage of George Leek is nearing completion, and judging from present appearances will be occupied before the fall months wane. Captain Will Blake is fast collecting the materials upon his lot for the finest home in Port. This will doubtless be the nearest perfect building in all its appointments, in this part of the county. Knowing the taste of both the captain and his wife, we have reason to

believe that we shall see something that Port will be proud of.

Boarders of the permanent kind are thinning out, but the transient ones are appearing.

Mrs. Elizabeth Sapp and daughter, and Mrs. Jennie White and son spent

last Sunday here with their friends.

Will Sooy, with his daughter, of

Middletown, N. Y., are visiting his parents in this place. Mrs. Fanny Adams, of Atlantic City, who has been visiting with her son at Elmer Adams', returned to her home

Saturday.

Miss Lida Adams spent last Sunday with friends at Lower Bank. Miss Ella Fries, who has been visiting at Captain Lewis Blake's for several weeks, has returned to her home in

New York.

Mrs. Eunice Jackson and son Fred have returned to their home in Phila-

delphia.

BARGAINTOWN. Mrs. Abner Price is on the sick list. Our public schools opened under favorable circumstances, with Mr. J. Eldridge, of Townsend's Inlet as teacher. Mrs. Richard Scull is visiting friends in Ocean City.

Mrs. Button and family, of Williams-

town, has been visiting her sister, Mrs. John Sykes. Winfield S. Corson and wife, of Pleasant Plains, Ill., has been the guest of his uncle, Rev. J. L. Corson. Miss Annie Garwood is spending a week with Miss Boyle, of Ocean City. Mrs. Amanda Robinson and daughter have returned from Camden. James Sutton gave a sailing party for the pleasure of Zion Sunday-school on Tuesday.

Meeting of the Borough Fathers.

A regular meeting of Borough Council was held on Friday evening last in the Council chamber, a full board being present. After the usual opening formalities, a petition for the opening of an alley, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, on West street, signed by a number of property owners, was received and laid over until the next meeting. An order for $750, in favor of Treasurer Schurch, to pay on note coming due in bank, was ordered drawn, and the Mayor and Clerk instructed to prepare a new note for the balance. Marshal Carhart was directed to immediately collect all unpaid licenses. An order was drawn in favor of Treasurer Schurch for $23.22 to pay discount on note in Vineland National Bank. Also an order for $18,00 for interest due Isaac Lee was drawn. The ordinance relative to purchasing lots for public purposes, which had received its first reading at a previous meeting, was taken up and finally acted upon, and then ordered printed. The following bills were presented and ordered paid: Daniel Goff, $88.50; W. J. R. R., $148.80; Peter Murdoch, $2.50; J. K. Morey, $6.00; J. H. Moore, $4.00; Jacob Wolf, $7.50; Y. Corson, $26.37; Andrew Burley, $12.25; Abel D. Scull, $11.40; Andrew Burley, $17.50; Jesse Murdoch, $11.25; Harry Canfield, $50.00; Daniel Goff, $20.25; Samuel Carhart, $66.80. A bill of $200, presented by Parker Miller, was laid over until next meeting, as was also the bill for Lewis Sigars for $16.30. The clerk was instructed to advertise for bids to pave lots between Sixth and Ninth streets on Central avenue. The Mayor was instructed to appoint a committee to prepare plans for a building to be used for public purposes, the same to be laid before Council. The Mayor was also instructed to make further arrangements with Parker Miller for the removal of garbage until October. A petition, signed by a number of citizens, asking for the retention of the Marshal during the entire year, was re-

ceived.

Council then adjourned until Friday evening next.

CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents. TUCKAHOE. A ten days camp meeting in charge of Evangelist Moore and wife, of Bridgeton, opened here on Saturday night. SEA ISLE CITY. The sisters of St. Joseph, of Philadelphia, contemplate the erection of a home for Catholic orphans in this city. SOUTH SEAVILLE. Cape May County Prohibitionists nominated on Saturday at this place, Dr. E. H. Phillips, of Cape May City, for the Senate, and Thomas P. Smith, of this place, for Assembly. CAPE MAY CITY. Sheriff Hand sold on Thursday 2876 shares, face value $50 each, of the capital stock of the Stockton Hotel Company for $50 for the whole block, to satisfy a judgment held by Allen B. Rorke, the builder. L. M. Garrison, bid them in for Mr. Rorke. Rev. John L. Landis' barn, located at West Cape May, was burned Thursday afternoon. Some boys playing in it with matches was the origin of the fire. Lewis T. Stevens, president of City Council, has accepted a position as one of the teachers in the public schools of this city. They open on Monday morning next with a corps of nine teachers, as follows: Principal, E. F. Lewis; assistants, S. H. Townsend, Mrs. O. R. Haynes, Miss Bessie Jacobs, Miss Mary Walter, Miss Carrie Foster, Miss Josie Nickerson, Lewis T. Stevens, Mrs. Rachel Johnson.

Board of Freeholders. The regular bi-monthly meeting of the Cape May County Board of Freeholders was held in the grand jury room at the court house Thursday, Director Weeks in the chair. After the adoption of the minutes of the previous meeting, and of a special meeting held July 19, the usual batch of bills were audited and paid. Mr. Garretson, of the Committee on Discharge of Prisoners, reported the facts in connection with the discharge of S. Park Collins, and his action was approved by the Board. Committee on Public Buildings reported having made some needed repairs to the court house and roof of clerk's office. Sheriff Hand's bill of $745.62 covering fees, costs and expenses of executing Richard Pierce was paid by a unanimous vote of the Board. Committee on Steelmantown bridge reported the necessary repairs completed at a total cost of $139.93. Committee on Cedar Swamp Creek Bridge reported repairs made at an expense of $457.53. A bill of Carlton Westcott (for watching scaffold) three days at $3.50, was after some discussion, cut to $2 per day. Ex-Senator L. M. Rice appeared before the Board and offered to give $150 for a lot at Dennisville, which lot the county purchased a few years since for $100, a large quantity of gravel having since been taken off the land. The Board unanimously declined to sell, Mr. Devitt remarking that the property was now worth $500 to the county. Bill of Sheriff Shinn, of Cumberland County, $299.41 for receiving, boarding and discharging prisoners was paid. The question of caring for the prisoners awaiting the coming term of court was left entirely to the Sheriff's judg-

ment.

A resolution providing that the

Sheriff attend to heating the jail and clerk's office, and receive coal and wood for jail keeper's private use was adopted. An act of 1894 requires the sexes to be kept separate in almshouses night and day, at meals and all other times, indoors and outdoors; but after some discussion the matter was dropped without action on the part of the Board.

A motion to sell the Dennisville gravel lot for $500 was laid on the table.

On motion of Mr. Stevens the next meeting of the board will be held at Schellenger's Landing on September 24,

at 1 p. m., to view the causeway at that

point.

County Collector reported that he had collected the 1893 taxes from Cape May Point, $769.99 with interest. Solicitor reported that he had been unable to collect the taxes due from Holly Beach, and he was instructed to bring suit. A resolution was adopted authorizing the County Collector to borrow in anticipation of taxes, and the Board adjourned.

Burned to the Water's Edge. The passenger steamer Golden Gate,

which has been plying between Ocean City and Longport during the summer, was burned to the water's edge while moored to her pier at the latter place early Monday morning. There are various causes assigned for the origin of the fire, but the most reasonable seems to be that a cooking range aboard the vessel is responsible for the fire. It is thought that the vessel keeled over during low tide, upsetting the stove and thus starting the flames. The fire was plainly visible from this place, and a number of our citizens went to Longport to witness what many had never before seen--a vessel on fire. The boat was owned and operated by Captain David B. Hallinger, of Philadelphia. The loss is nearly $20,000 and is said to be covered by insurance. The engineer of the boat, who was asleep at the time the fire started, is said to have made a narrow escape from

death.

The Union Transfer Company Baggage Express will call at residences and hotels in Ocean City and check baggage through to destination, whereby the passenger will avoid all trouble of checking at railroad station. Orders for baggage can be left at railroad depot. J. P. MURPHY, Gen. Sup't. JOHN REEMER, Agent.

Inter-State Fair at Trenton, September 14th to 28th.

The great Inter-State Fair at Trenton grows more extensive and important each succeeding year, and the exhibition to be held from September 24th to 28th inclusive, promises to be unusually attractive and comprehensive. Every department is replete with interesting and instructive sights. The blooded stock is particularly fine, and the daily programme of races contains the speediest classes obtainable. Circus acts of rare merit and daring, and vaudeville entertainments of all kinds will be presented.

John J. Gardiner was foreman, after deliberating for three days, returned Thursday afternoon, having found fiftyfive true bills of indictment, and ignored forty-five.
