Charles Matthews, Jr., sold a lot on Asbury avenue, between Eighth and Ninth streets, to William D. Wilson, through the agency of Youngs Corson. Dr. G. J. Palen, son of the famous doctor of that name, left with his bride for Philadelphia Tuesday morning. On Saturday the happy couple will sail for Europe. Among the prominent visitors are Mrs. J. R. Hartford and family, of Washington, D. C., who are stopping at the Stratford, on Seventh street, corner of Ocean avenue. The bathhouse keepers have been notified by the Association that they must not allow bathing from their establishments on Sundays, under penalty of forfeiture of their leases. The family of Dr. Herbert L. Northrop, who is connected with the Hahnneman Hospital on Broad street, Philadelphia, is located on Asbury avenue, above Twelfth street. The Ladies' Aid Society of the First M. E. church of Ocean City take this means of extending a vote of thanks to B. R. Smith & Sons for their kindness in papering the parsonage kitchen. The outlook for business was never more promising than the present season. Hotel men and cottage owners report numerous and frequent injuries, and say that the situation never looked brighter. Our new gaurdian [sic] of the peace, S. Carhart, resplendent in his new suit of blue, with brass buttons, shield and other insignia of office, promenaded the avenues to-day and was well thought of. Marshal Conver and his good-looking coadjutor constitute a "pair" it would be hard to beat. It is to be devoutly hoped that the vandals who invade the flower gardens of our residents may be detected and punished. A few days ago some of these miscreants entered the yard of E. Brucker, Tenth and Central, and almost denuded the beds of their beauty. Mr. Brucker would not refuse flowers to those who ask for them, but he objects to having them stolen. A fat man, of what might be called "podgy" construction, and with a stomach of Falstaffian proportions, in a bathing suit, leading a very diminutive specimen of the canine species along the beach Monday, brought tears of merriment to the eyes of the ladies and gentlemen who happened to be on the boardwalk. It was a sight that would have delighted the eye of Mark Twain or any other talented humorist. Through the influence of Mrs. Myers, wife of Squire Myers, the Roman Catholic church of St. Augustine has been presented with three handsome and expensive suits of vestments and other articles necessary for service of the Mass. The vestments (which could not be duplicated for $350) were donated by the Church of the Sacred Heart, Philadelphia. The other articles were the gifts of St. Joseph's and St. Mary's churches, Philadelphia. Dr. Charles A. Niblock, of 1623 South 15th Street, Philadelphia, a guest at the Wesley House for some time past, intended to return home Monday. The doctor, however, was taken violently ill with a hemorrhage which prostrated him for some time. Dr. Waggoner, of Asbury Avenue was summoned, and under his skillful treatment Dr. Niblock was soon revived. The contemplated returned [sic] to Philadelphia has been abandoned for the present in compliance with Dr. Waggoner's advice that complete rest just now was an absolute necessity.

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

TUCKAHOE. Mr. Yerkes, of Vineland, is visiting her son, Dr. W. L. Yerkes, of this place. Rev. H. T. Parker, of Cold Springs, preached in the M. E. church on Sunday morning and gave us two excellent sermons. Joseph Sutton, Sr., has returned home after spending a few days in Atlantic City, the guest of Mrs. C. P. Smith, his daughter.

Supper will be provided in the hall; price, 25 cents. Friends of the cause are cordially invited. County Clerk E. L. Rice, of the Court House, on Wednesday rode to Tuckahoe on his wheel. Eugene Townsend, of Seaville, brought a load of cabbage to Tuckahoe on Monday. Mrs. Mary Hess, of Belle Plain, is visiting her relatives here. Mrs. Elizabeth Champion spent a few days at Dorchester with her brother. We are sorry to record the death of Isaac B. Mulford, an aged citizen of Millville. He died on Friday, the 21st ult. The funeral took place on Tuesday morning. It was the largest seen in Millville for some years. He had many friends in this place.

Mrs. H. L. Sabsosich, the wife of the Russian Jew Superintendent at Woodbine, started on Monday for Russia, her native home. She is accompanied by her children. She will return in the fall. The New Jersey Medical Society met last week at Cape May City. Dr. John H. Griffith, of Camden, was in attendance. He paid a visit to Tuckahoe Lodge, No. 67, I. O. O. F., on Tuesday afternoon and evening and made an address.

Tuckahoe Lodge, No. 67, I. O. O. F., was started in 1848 by five members--Dr. Randolph Marshall, Horace Burn, Hosca F. Madden, Thomas Williams

and Hezekiah W. Godfrey, They were

charter members. At their first meet-

ing thirty-five candidates joined, and now but three of these are living--Rev. John L. Corson, of Bargaintown; Anthony Steelman and Alexander Corson, of Seaside. There is now a

large membership.

Perils of the Deep. Two gentlemen stopping at The Illinois will not soon forget their experience on last Sunday night. In the morning they sailed away quite gayly for May's Landing, which they reached in good order and condition and in time to appease their appetites which the sail across the inlet had considerably improved. After a pleasant sojourn among friends they started to return, and all went merry as a marriage bell until their journey was drawing to a close.

Night had fallen, and the sturdy sailboat which had stood up bravely all day long under the sometimes sudden and rude blasts of the tempest, and had responded obediently to every wish of the helmsman, was now careening along at a lively gait. The hearts of the two mariners were gladdened by the sight of the glimmering lights on shore, in the hotels and cottages, and on the avenues, and it was no wonder, after having encountered so much rain during the day, which somewhat marred the enjoyment of their excursion, that they luxuriated in the anticipation of a warm supper, and an enjoyable rest thereafter in the cosey parlors of their abode. But--

"The best laid schemes 'o mice and men Aft gang agley And leave us naught but grief and pain, For promised joy."

And so it was with these two pleasure-seeking mariners. When they had come abreast of Beesley's Point, a harsh, grating sound assailed their ears, the boat careened somewhat and then suddenly came to a stand-still. The cruel fact at once was patent that the boat was aground. Bearings were taken as well as the imperfect light

would admit and it was found that they were high and dry on a sandbar. Shouting was of no avail. There were no distress rockets or signals on board, and the Sunday adventurers were forced to spend the night on the bar--somewhat moist outside, because of the rain, and very dry and hungry inside, for they had not the wherewith to quench their thirst or appease their hunger. In the wee small hours of terday [sic] morning, just as Aurora was beginning to gild the eastern sky two draggled, tired amateur sailors might have been seen quietly wending their way toward the comfortable hostelry at

the corner of Sixth street and Central avenue.

Of course no well regulated citizen of of [sic] this borough was abroad at that un-

seemly hour and so could not have bestowed his sympathy upon these benighted mariners, but the good guardian of the peace could have seen them if he had been awake and might have mistaken them from their woe-begone appearance for Cuban filibusters or an advance post of Coxey's army. Of course our vigilant and energetic city marshal whose tour of duty includes those early morning hours was not asleep. By no means; but in order to make the story complete, it is permissible, there is a journalistic, literary license allowing indulgence in such harmless pleasantry when speaking of the blue-coated, brass-buttoned minions of the law.

There is one peculiar feature connected with this o'er-true tail which needs by the insertion of the names to make it complete in every particular. That is that it is impossible to get any confirmation of the facts by inquiring at The Illinois. A vast and impenetrable cloak of ignorance of the whole matter seems to envelope every one who is questioned upon the matter; and presumably it will only be on the day of judgment that the full extent of the tergiversation and equivocation concerning this incident will ever be known. To be sure two young men who have always put up for being expert navigators would not want to have their reputation, fictitious though it is, smirched, and therefore they cannot be expected "to give themselves away." But why reputable citizens in possession of all the facts even to the minutest details should withhold them and thus deprive history and the science of navigation of some valuable data as to the rocks, shoals, bars, etc., on the course from Ocean City to May's Landing is a conundrum which it would be dangerous to attempt to solve at this season of the year.

Taking Precautionary Measures. Upon a perfect and all-sufficient sewerage system depends the healthful sanitary condition of every municipality. Fully appreciating this fact, Mayor Fisher and his Council have determined to give their serious attention to the plan and working of the sewerage system in this borough, so that the resident and visiting population may feel fully assured of protection from any kind of deleterious or offensive odors. They have also decided with regard to the Health ordinance to put the most stringent measures in operation at once to secure the removal and suppression of all malarious or offensive deposits on the highways, alleys, etc.,

if there be any such.

A Sudden Death. The family of L. D. C. Tyler, general superintendent of the New City Hall in Philadelphia, who are stopping in Enoch Burleigh's cottage, on Central avenue above Eleventh street, have met with a sudden and sad bereavement in the somewhat unexpected death of Mrs. Mary A. Tyler, Mr. Tyler's venerable mother, which occurred at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon.

The deceased came to Ocean City a week ago. She had been an invalid for some time previous, but yet, despite her age--84 years--bore little traces of her suffering, and since her arrival declared that her health was much benefited and she was glad she had come here. It was hoped that under the influence of the invigorating ocean breezes and the change from a noisy,

bustling city to that of perfect rest, which is to be enjoyed here, her health would be vastly improved. But in this hope Mrs. Tyler's affectionate relatives were to be disappointed. A short time before her demise Mrs. Tyler showed signs of being distressed. Everything

which tender and loving hearts could think of was done to alleviate her suffering and the aid of Dr. Hutchinson, who was immediately summoned, supplemented their efforts. The patient rallied for a while, and then relapsed into a peaceful, painless slumber during which her spirit took its flight to its

eternal home.

The body was taken to Philadelphia on the 2.15 p. m. train Monday. L. D. C. Tyler and his family accompanied the remains, which will be interred in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery, Philadelphia, known as Mount Peace, to-mor-row. The Tyler family are expected to return on next Saturday and spend the season here.

Runaway Accident. Ralph Garwood, the 15-year-old son of Mrs. Garwood, of Wesley avenue, below Fifth street, is keeping close indoors these days, nursing the wounds and bruises he received last Saturday night. Ed. Smith and young Garwood were driving to Absecon. Just as they entered the village of Estellville, a bolt dropped out of the carriage-pole to the roadway and scared the horses. Smith and Garwood, however, retaining their presence of mind soon got the excited team under control, and were about to alight to see the extent of the damage done and repair it, when the carriage collided with a log lying on the roadside and toppled partly over. The horses now became unmanageable, and the two young men were thrown violently to the ground. In their mad flight the horses released themselves from the carriage, and singular to relate, when they were exhausted, turned back to where the carriage was stalled and quietly waited to be hitched up again. Garwood and Smith were assisted to Absecon, whither their horses and conveyance were also taken. Dr. Lyons, of that place, attended to their bruises. He found that Smith's shoulder was strained and his ribs sore, with possible internal injuries which time only may develop; while young Garwood bore a scar extending across his forehead, both his eyes were rendered black and blue, his left cheekbone lacerated, his nose and lips scratched, and his body somewhat severely shaken up. Dr. Lyons exer-

cised all his skill in relieving the young men so that they were able to return to Ocean City yesterday.

Ralph Garwood is a sturdy, manly young fellow and will soon get over his bruises. Dr. Waggoner is attending him and hopes to have his patient in good shape in a few days. The discoloration under his eyes will, however, keep him in retirement for at

least a week longer.

There is practically no limit to the amount of money they can bring in

Peddling Without a License.

Charles Milgrim, of Philadelphia, was arrested about 2 o'clock this afternoon by Officer Carhart, charged with peddling without a license. When the offender was brought before Mayor Fisher he was given the alternative of paying the license fee or quitting the town for the town's good. He accepted the former alternative and was

discharged.

Drowned in the Surf. Lee Raiguel, aged 17 years, son of Henry R. Raiguel, of 603 North seventeenth street, Philadelphia, was drown [sic] in the surf at Atlantic City on Saturday afternoon. He went in bathing about 1 o'clock and as he was considered a good swimmer the life guards paid no attention to him. Later however he was observed to be struggling in the water, and he sank before assistance

could reach him.

This was the second fatality of the season at Atlantic City. The body was recovered at an early hour Tuesday morning. It was not disfigured. A coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death.

A Birthday Surprise.

E. Brucker, Tenth street and Central avenue, celebrated his 65th birthday on the 23d ult., when a number of his friends dropped in upon him to make merry upon the occasion. Among those present were Conrad Busch and wife, William Haines and wife, Andrew Brown and wife, the latter the daughter of Mr. Brucker, all of Phila-

delphia.

The guests remained with their friend a few days, which was a season of much rejoicing. May Mr. Brucker enjoy many returns of the occasion.

The Millville Excursion.

The Millville Presbyterians descended upon Ocean City on Tuesday in great force on their annual excursion. Although there were only 150 in the party they made a very good appearance, there being many attractive young people among them. Of course, the boardwalk and the beach were the first points they visited and afterwards

the other places of interest throughout

the city were taken ill. Words of praise on the beauty, order and cleanli-

ness of Ocean City were on every lip, and when the scene on the beach was

referred to there seemed to be an utter lack of ability to do justice to the subject. The Millville folk expressed only one regret--that they could not take

Ocean City beach away with them.

The victim was John Brice, about 20

years old, of Wilmington, Del. He

was a good swimmer, and went out

beyond the breakers. A short time later women who were bathing screamed when a body floated in their midst. It was the corpse of young Brice, who either died without a struggle or his cries for aid were not heard. Efforts were made to resuscitate the body, but

it was of no avail.
