LOCAL NEWS.

Rev. Ransom Harvey and family, who are tenting at Thirteenth street and Central avenue, experienced no discomfort during the recent heavy rains. Mr. Harvey has had considerable experience in camping out, and therefore is prepared to meet any emergency or eccentricity in weather matters.

Where Central avenue abuts upon the Park at Fifth street, an electric-light pole lies in the gutter, directly across the path leading from the Park. It has been there so long that grass and weeds have grown around and almost covered it. This obstruction is dangerous at night, and should be removed as soon as possible.

Continued dry weather and russet shoes are apt to test the temper of any ordinary boot-black. But the artist who operates on our "understandings," on Asbury avenue, and who is an emigrant from May's Landing, is of a particularly happy disposition, and notwithstanding dullness in his business has only words of praise for Ocean City.

At the Auditorium, next Sunday, the services will be wholly under the auspices of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Rev. William H. Boole, D. D., of Prohibition Park, Staten Island, N. Y., a celebrated orator, will conduct the services. Lovers of good singing will be glad to know that Miss S. Jennie Massey will sing during the services.

It has been arranged that the choir will sing at the Episcopal church services next Sunday morning.

The Cylinder Head Blown Out. The regular daily excursion train from Philadelphia was 37 minutes behind time Tuesday. The delay was caused by an accident to the Cape May excursion train, which fortunately was unattended by loss of limb or life.

While the train was running at a lively gait between Woodbine and Sea Isle Junction the cylinder head of the locomotive (No. 1) blew out with an explosion so loud that it echoed and re-echoed throughout the surrounding country, startled the country folks in the farm-houses and fields, scared the birds who were marauding among the growing crops, and almost frightened the train passengers to death. But to the

railroad officials it was a commonplace occurrence, and did not confuse or excite them in the least. It took but a comparatively short time to set matters right, and the journey was resumed.

Mr. Coulston, of Philadelphia, who spent a season here a few years ago, has

rented one of Wesley Lake's cottages on the ocean front, near Eighth street. Youngs Corson acted as agent in the

matter.

The electric railroad tracks in the neighborhood of Sixteenth street are in a dangerous condition. They are twisted like a black snake after a prolonged debauch. They should be fixed up

That is the opinion of people passing the Ellison residence on Ocean avenue. J. A. Maul and family, of Sea Isle City, have rented and taken occupancy of C. M. Tilton's cottage on the bay front, above Fourth street. M. C. Clelland is putting up a handsome three-story house for his own residence on the corner of Eleventh street and Central avenue. Miss Lena Belle Propert, daughter of Wm. T. Propert, organist of the State street M. E. church, Camden, N. J., went home on Saturday after a week's visit to Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Bingham at North Point beach. James Neill, of the prominent wholesale grocery firm of Neill & Ellingham, Wheeling, W. Va., and who visited our city some five years ago, is now sojourning at The Strand. Mr. Neill expresses himself as being greatly surprised, as well as highly pleased and gratified at the marked improvement that has taken place in Ocean City since his last visit, and he will take pleasure in recommending this as one of the most attractive resorts on the New Jersey coast. Mr. Neill is an intimate friend of our North Point cottager, J. C. Borrodaile.

It is not known whose dogs they were. Something more for the two to pay for. Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Tilton purchased a horse and two carriages last week. Mr. and Mrs. J. D.

Rev. Ransom Harvey, of German-

town (formerly of Poughkeepsie, N.

Y.), is here with his family for the season. They have pitched their tent, and a commodious one it is, at the corner of Thirteenth street and Central avenue. With the assistance of friend Crouse and Mr. Bennett only a short time was taken in erecting the canvas home and by nightfall the premises presented a cosey and home-like appearance.

A Pastor's Sudden Insanity. After Rev. L. S. Pancoast, pastor of

the Green Creek M. E. church, had concluded quarterly meeting services at Cape May, on Sunday morning, as a substitute for Presiding Elder Wight, it was noticed that he acted in an eccentric manner. Rev. Maurice Cresse

saw him pass his house in a hasty manner, but could not stop him, the excited minister running from him and disappearing along the main road leading to Delaware Bay shore. Mr. Pancoast did not return home till evening. The sudden aberration of mind shown by Mr. Pancoast is said to be due to worry over the continued illness of his wife.

Suit for Breach of Promise. The announcement was made in this paper on Tuesday that Dr. Gilbert Joseph Palen and his bride, who had spent a few days of their honeymoon here, had left for Philadelphia, and would sail to-day for Europe. The young doctor is well-known here, and he carried the good wishes of his numerous friends with him. But the course of true love never did run smooth, and young Dr. Palen's entrance on his matrimonial career has been rudely interrupted, almost at the beginning. To be explicit, there is another woman in the case, who claims that the disciple of Esculapius [sic] in the salad days of adolescence found time, while preparing for his professional career, to woo and win her affections, and had vowed eternal and undying love; but, nevertheless, owing to an ungovernable fickleness of disposition, subsequently transferred his allegiance to a rival charmer and cast aside the object of his heart's first wish. The aggrieved woman is Miss Margaret May Thompson, a professional nurse, of Philadelphia, said to be young and pretty. When Dr. Palen and his bride reached Philadelphia, Tuesday afternoon, he was confronted with a capias in a suit for breach of promise of marriage, which Miss Thompson through her attorney Lewis Hopper, has brought in the Court of Common Pleas, naming her damages at $25,000. Questioned as to the suit Dr. Palen said that Miss Thompson's charge is false. "I not only did not promise her marriage," he said, "but was never on such terms of intimacy with her as to give her the slightest ground to suppose that such a marriage was even a remote possibility. It is a case of blackmail pure and simple. I befriended the girl and attended her in a recent serious sickness, and she has taken advantage of my kindness to make these charges." The contemplated trip to Europe was not interfered with. The bridal couple sail to-day on the American Line steamer Southwark, and the doctor's intention is to spend two years abroad, principally in Vienna, finishing his medical studies.
