OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1895.

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.

Mr. and Mrs. J. C. F. Trachsel, of Philadelphia, are in the city. The best panoramic view of Ocean City is to be had from the bay. Dr. N. H. Hurt is spending the summer at his father's cottage on Wesley avenue. Mr. H. Neill, secretary of the municipal civil service of Philadelphia, is visiting here. Ferd. Hudson, of Millville, has rented a cottage on Haven avenue, above Fourth street. The choir of the Chrst Church, Riverton, N. J., which went into camp on the 17th inst., purposes to remain until the 27th. There are twenty boys and men in the party. A. A. Fraser, the leader, died at Riverton, on the 12th and was buried the day before the choir left for Ocean City. A circular has been prepared and was issued Tuesday inviting property owners to meet in the Auditorium next Saturday evening to discuss a proposition for a new line of railroad into Ocean City. The circular bears the signatures of Robert Fisher (the Mayor) and E. P. Day, as a committee.

Arthur C. Canfield and Mrs. J. F. Canfield have left the city for their home at Springfield, Il.

Dr. P. F. Guenster, who received several bruises in the Casino disaster at Atlantic City, and who has since been recuperating at Schurch's bathing establishment, on the boardwalk, has gone back to Atlantic City. It is probably the doctor will sue for damages. Alex H. Boardman, formerly conductor on the Camden and Atlantic railroad, and who first proposed the erection of a boardwalk at Atlantic City, arrived at The Strand Wednesday accompanied by his family. They propose to remain in Ocean City for the balance of the season.

The dogged persistence with which dog owners violate the dog ordinance is going to receive a check.

Miss Lulu M. Wanamaker, a young society debutante of Brooklyn, N. Y., is stopping at the Brighton.

Mrs. Mary Springer, and children,

Trinidad, Colo., are visiting her brother John B. Christian, on Asbury avenue.

Mrs. Florence Schmitt and daughter, Mrs. Henry B. Niehans, and family, are at their Asbury avenue cottage for the season.

Help the Cause.

A committee of prominent ladies connected with the First M. E. church are getting up a bazaar to be held at Nelson's pavilion and stand on the boardwalk on the 3d proximo, for the benefit of the parsonage fund. The committee is comprised of Mrs. H. F. Smith, Mrs. Ranck, Mrs. Stites, Miss Emma Lee, Miss Hannie Scull, Mrs.

Harriet Lake, Mrs. Campbell and

Mrs. Bodine. It is safe to say that whatever these ladies provide in the

way of entertainment will be well worth patronizing. Besides that, every person who recognizes the grand

work Rev. L. O. Manchester and his

church are effecting in this city--and the number is legion--will feel bound to help the ladies in their undertaking

to pay off the debt on the parsonage.

Jonathan Hand, Jr., is a well-

equipped lawyer and any legal business

intrusted to him will be satisfactory conducted. His main office is at Cape

May Court House and he is in

attendance in Ocean City every

Wednesday. Mr. Hand enjoys the confidence of the community.

A skate has been found on the beach--the second in five years. Chas. E.

Brownell found it while bathing, and a wounded big toe was the result. Mr. Brownell says that skates may have been created for some purpose, but he wants to be excused from further acquaintance with the piscatorial phlebotomist.

A Young Girl Drowned.

Sea Isle City has had a drowning accident which was very sad. Katie Zott, 20 years old, a servant in the

employ of Mrs. E. Fisher, of Landis avenue, went in bathing, Thursday afternoon, opposite Grumley's bath-

houses. The children of the family accompanied her, and all seemed to

enjoy themselves hugely. Katie escorted the children from the water and

then returned, amusing herself, on-

lookers, among whom were several Sisters of Charity, say, for nearly two hours, when it was seen that she was in distress. Captain Grumley, upon hearing this, rushed into the sea. He found the girl floating, apparently lifeless, and hurriedly brought her ashore. Dr. Kauffman, Captain Smith and Captain Grumley worked for nearly two hours to revive her, but to no purpose. Dr. Kauffman decided that the girl had died of a congestive chill. Katie's mother and father live in Bridgeville, Del., and her aunt, Mrs. Lohn, and her brother, reside on Hope street, near Susquehanna avenue, Philadelphia.

J. Swing Willis, a candidate for

Sheriff on the Republican ticket this fall, of Cape May Court House, was in

this city Monday.

H. G. Steelman & Company are about to erect a six thousand dollar cottage on the corner of Wesley avenue

and Fourth street.

Clement E. Lloyd, of Philadelphia, is spending a happy time here. He is fond of sailing and fishing, and is often seen on the water.

R. G. Hyde, the "numberer," has returned. Mrs. Hyde will be remembered as the former proprietrress of the Traymore and Lafayette.

Mr. and Mrs. John D. Atkins, of Philadelphia, are visiting Frank E. Darby on Asbury avenue. Mrs. Atkins is Mr. Darby's sister. Heretofore they have spent their summers at Ocean

Grove, but their appreciation of Ocean City's attractions, especially the bathing, is likely to make them periodical visitors here hereafter.

Mrs. Hallicouer, of Millville, has rented a cottage near the North Point from Mrs. Ellwood Allen.

Old-timers say that the mosquitos can't be got rid off! Nonsense; a well-directed, sensible effort would clear them all off, just as other pests have been banished. Cut down, burn and

plough under, in the fall, all the breeding and protecting brush which covers the vacant lots, and a hundred to one, this blood-sucking, peace-destroying water-gnat will disappear like the locusts of Egypt.

E. J. Krause, a prominent telegrapther in Philadelphia, spent Sunday at Dr. Waggoner's residence. Mr. Krause is Mrs. Waggoner's brother.

Invitations are out for the dedication of St. Augustine's Roman Catholic

church, on the 28th instant.

Miss Brooks, of Philadelphia, has rented Mrs. M. P. Lee's cottage at North Point, through W. E. Massey &

Co.

The boardwalk should be widened. If it is too late for this season, let it be

prepared for next. It is too narrow between Sixth and Twelfth streets.

James Myers, a Philadelphia conveyancer, has arrived at the residence of his father, Squire Myers, where he intends to sojourn for some days. The parlor entertainment at The Illinois for the benefit of the free reading room of the W. C. T. U., comes off (this) Thursday evening. No admission

fee will be charged.

The hose carriage of the Ocean City fire company has been temporarily moved to the barn of The Emmett hotel pending the erection of suitable quarters for it, in accordance with the

decision of the Council.

Dr. Bartine is fond of pedestrianism. He manages to tear himself away from professional duties long enough to take a constitutional on the boardwalk every morning and evening. The

doctor is a valetudinarian.

At high tide, a pool forms on the beach, directly in a line with the Lafayette Hotel, where lovers of swimming will find ample opportunity for amusement there being a depth of four feet of water in some places. Mrs. Rachel Myers, daughter-in-law of 'Squire Myers, and Misses Mabel and Jennie Myers, and Master Charlie Myers, all of Philadelphia, have arri-

ved at the 'Squire's residence where

they will remain for a short time.

Ben. F. Waggoner, of Decatur, Ill., son of ex-Mayor Waggoner of that city, is sojourning with his uncle, Dr. Waggoner, on Asbury avenue. This is "Ben's" first visit easy, and he is in ecstacies over the loveliness of Ocean City. Mr. Buren, wife and daughter, are visiting this place. It is their first visit to Ocean City and they are already so well pleased that they have declared their intention of abandoning Ocean Grove and makink [sic] this their future summer residence. Fred. J. Shoyer, a Philadelphia lawyer, whose wife and baby and mother are sojourning here for the season, has come to spend a fortnight with them. Mr. Shoyer is determined to strengthen himself for the legal battles this fall.

There is an abundance of chairs along the boardwalk, and the pavilions afford plenty of seating room. Yet men will insist on squatting on the guard rails. The position is not graceful and suggests laziness. Take seats, ye rail-birds, or take a walk! One of Atlantic City's oldest residents, Jonas Higbee, died, Sunday, aged 79 years. He was born at Leeds' Point, and went to Atlantic City in 1854. He acquired a fortune estimated at about $200,000. He had been a Councilman and City Treasurer. Rev. Wallace MacMullen, pastor of Grace M. E. church, Broad and Master streets, Philadelphia, who is recognized as one of the most effective orators in the ministry, is summering in his cottage on Wesley avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets. Mr. MacMullen is booked for the Auditorium for Sunday August 4th.

The electrical display to be given in the Audiotorium for the benefit of the First M. E. church, before the close of the month, will consist of Roger's groups, representing Cleopatra, the Gladiators in the arena, and designs on the order of polytechnics. The exhibitions will be interspersed with vocal and instrumental music, in which the best amateur talent in Ocean City will participate. An incipient blaze in an out-building at the residence of George Everingham, Asbury avenue, below Eighth street, between 3 and 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, set the household in com-

motion. It was quickly smothered by

the assistance of neighbors, who responded to the alarming outcry of the Everingham family. The fire, it is believed, was caused by the children who had been playing with sulphur matches. The following cottages were rented by H. H. Bodine, real estate agent: Alonzo Cotton's Asbury cottage to Charles A. Spicer, of Harrisburg, Pa.; Rev. J. B. Turpin's cottage, Asbury below Fourteenth street, to Furgus Perry, of Germantown; Mrs. Dr. Grah-

am's cottage, Fourth and Central

avenue, to Dr. Charles B. Rider, of Philadelphia; Mrs. William Jones' Asbury cottage, to Dr. J. W. Mecaskey, of Philadelphia.

Monte Cristo and Colonel Mulberry Sellers are not "in it" any longer. W. R. Elliott, manager of The Lafayette, received an official communication, Saturday, to the effect that the United States Patent Office have recognized his device for a loom picker, and will grant him letters patent on the same. As there will be over four million pickers necessary for consumption in the United States annually, and as the field is practically unoccupied, Mr. Elliott's income is likely to be incalculable. He has struck a veritable bonanza.

The new music room of "The Strand" with its brilliant lighting and fine ventilation should prove a great attraction for the young people this season.

Murder or Suicide?

The presence of several pools of blood on the slip between Seventh street wharf and Sanderlin's boat house, yesterday morning, attracted attention of Marshal Conver and his aid, Officer

Carhart. Several citizens, including the Mayor, visited the spot, and saw numerous unmistakable evidences of blood-spilling. The air was full of speculations as to the cause--some suggested suicide, others murder most

foul.

As no developments have been made

tending to clear up the mysterious blood pools--the water has cast up no horribly mutilated corpse to sustain the theory of suicide or foul play, as no

one is reported missing, and as it is hardly conceivable that any one would want to end ignominiously the glorious existence to be enjoyed in this locality, it is believed that some would-be joker cut up a plethoric denizen of the deep or scattered some red paint around in order to set the authorities a-thinking.

Comforting the Sorrowful. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Hayes, whose

sad loss in the untimely death of theri little son, Edwin W., by drowning, evoked much sympathy in the community, desire to return their heartfelt thanks to the following ladies and

gentlemen who gave testimong [sic] of their

feelings by sending donations of flowers

to the bereaved home, and by other

acts of kindness: Misses M. R. Gries, N. and Alice Canfield, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. White, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Barnhurst, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Bourgeois, and William H. Dobson, M. D., of Washington, D. C., whose assiduous, skillful labors to resuscitate the little fellow have won him the admiration of

our citizens.

They would also gratefully acknowledge the well-appreciated condolences of other residents whose names are not

mentioned.

From Conovertown.

Mrs. Senseman is entertaining a number of boarders at the Bay View Farm. Mrs. Harry L. Conover has a number of young lady boarders. It seems this place is destined to become a favorite resort for city guests in the future. E. W. Gibson has opened an ice

cream saloon.

THE FAIR. A Good Sum Realized for the Free Reading Room. The fair in aid of the free reading room of the W. C. T. U., at Brower's pavilion, Thursday night, was well attended and was a success. It was astonishing to see the number of hungry and thirsty people who flocked into the room which was illuminated with handsome lamps and the smiling faces and bright eyes of the ladies in charge of the tables. Men and women devoured cake as if it was a novelty. But then the cake was exceptionally good, and one mouthful simply demanded another and another, until it seemed the resources of the cake venders must be exhausted. And to see the way the lemonade disappeared by the bucketful. People drank it who never drank it before--except with "a wink"--and those who had drank it before, now wanted more. The thirst was prodigious and almost inappeasable. Then too the fancy articles attracted considerable attention, and young men just hung around the table where these pretty things were exhibited, and emptied their purses in friendly rivalry to secure the paintings, the bits of embroidery and souvenirs, as if there was never again to be a chance of obtaining such articles. But of course a good deal of the patronage was drawn thither by the group of very interesting ladies who presided at the table. There were flowers to decorate and delight. Bouquets were in great demand, and one could tell by a ramble on the boardwalk where all the handsome boutonnieres came from. Perhaps the most successful flower vender was Miss Marion McCorkle, the nine-year-old daughter of Mrs. McCorkle. She was ubiquitous, and was disposing of her perfumed wares like hot cakes. It was indeed a gratifying and exhilarating sight to see the interest people took in helping along this worthy object. The fair had not been much advertised; but its success shows what energy and intellligent action can achieve for any good purpose. The credit for this movement belongs for the most part to Miss M. P. Gries, of Philadelphia, who has devoted her whole time to working it up. Miss Gries undertook the task with no misgiving as to the outcome, and when she was prepared to act came here from her home bringing about fifty dollars worth of her own work and a valuable assortment of other material which friends had donated for the cause. The fair may be said to have been her individual effort. In Ocean City, Miss Gries found willing and able assistants in the Misses Alice and Helen Canfield, Mrs. Emma Bourne, Mrs. McCorkle, of Philadelphia; Miss Mary Lake, Mrs. Dr. Palen and Miss Emma Corson, daughter of Nicholas Corson, whose facial resemblance to Mrs. Grover Cleveland will occur to anyone who has seen both. These ladies were present last night surrounding Miss Gries who sat at the fancy table, and contributing, by their irresistable invitation, to dispose of the goods in stock, thus swelling the fund for the reading room. They all did their parts nobly, individually and collectively, and were rewarded with

generous patronage.

John Brower, the bath-house man who gave the ladies of the W. C. T. U. the use of his pavilion for the fair, must have had hot ears during the evening. The ladies told every body about his kindness, and Brower was unanimously voted a "jolly good fellow." If he were running for Governor last night and the votes of the pavilion people and their patrons could elect him, he would have received the support of every mother's son of them. "Take the place," said John Brower to the ladies, "and use it just as if it was

your own."

The fair was a financial success, and Miss Gries and her friends are to be congratulated on their efforts.

Their Annual Excursion.

A large section of the religious population of Bridgeton came here Thursday forenoon on their annual excursion. They came in two sections, and made an imposing spectacle as they defiled from the depot and proceeded along the streets and avenues to the beach. They were all members of the Methodist Episcopal church and represented the following congregations: Commerce street, Central, Trinity, Wesley Memorial (or Fifth) and the Fourth church. A careful estimate of the number of the excursionists places it at

about 900.

The committee of arrangements were: Rev. Wesley Lake, Joseph Garwood, John S. Turner and John Booblitz, representing the Commerce street church. Mr. Turner is Superintendent of the Sunday-school and City Superintendent of the Public Schools. S. M. Bassett, D. Edward Smith and D. S. Blew represented the Central church; John Ayers and Warren Miller, Trinity church; Rev. E. C. Sunfield and John Horton, Wesley Memorial church; and Rev. G. Eber Hancock and Samuel Tully, Fourth church. The Bridgeton excursionists were reinforced by a large body of Methodists from the town of Elmer.
