Decided Not to Remove the Ball from Adam Demaris' Head.

Dr. B. T. Abbott, of Tuckahoe, arrived on Saturday and went into consultation with Dr. T. C. Hutchinson that afternoon in the case of Adam Demaris. Dr. Abbott found that the patient was resting comfortably, perfectly rational, pulse normal, respiration good, and temperature normal also. He probed the wound and found that the outer and inner walls of the skull were fractured, at the ingress of the ball.

After thoroughly examining the patient the doctors came to the conclusion

that his condition was such as to unwar-

rant any surgical interference toward the extraction of the ball, believing that to do so would greatly endanger his life or chances of recovery.

Their theory is that the ball will become encysted, and consequently traumatic inflammation is less likely to result.

"The ball is located" said Dr. Abbott, "about five inches from the point of entrance, and lies embedded in the substance of the brain in the right hemisphere." "Is it not remarkable that Demaris is alive?" he remarked. "Yes, remarkable; but there are many cases recorded of men living who had been similarly wounded, both during the war of the rebellion and since. The most remarkable feature of Demaris' case is that there has been no secondary hemorrhage or inflammation, either of the wound or the brain itself. The man rests quietly, converses intelliegntly, and takes food normally. But what further developments may happen is more conjectural than otherwise, and will be carefully watched. I came prepared to trephine the skull and remove the bullet, but Dr. Hutchinson and I concluded to let well enough alone."

Tuckahoe Items. Mark Champion and wife went to Belleplain camp meeting on Sunday. Mr. Waggoner will move into one of Samuel Steelman's houses on the Atlantic side.

Inconsistent Actions. Consistency, thou art a jewel! Certain ministers of the gospel are very fond of airing their so-called advanced moral efelings by denouncing the publication of Sunday newspapers. They pretend to be horrified by the thought that any man should be compelled to work on Sunday. They gleefully declare that they don't read the Sunday papers and sorrowfully declare that for any one to do so imperils his salvation. This sounds very nice coming from a pulpit or platform when uttered with due religious unction. But what are people to think when some of these gentlemen write long newspaper correspondence on Sunday, compel a telegraph operator to send it over the wire to Philadelphia on Sunday, and necessitate its composition by printers in that city on Sunday night! Consistency thou art the brightest kind of jewel, especially religious consistency!

for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Governor, to be supported at the next election. The Township of Middle will be entitled to two delegates, and each of the other townships and boroughs and Cape May City to one delegate in the above State Convention. A. J. TOMLIN, Ch. Rep. Co. Ex. Com.

Distinguished Visitors.

A party of prominent railroad officials, editors, and other gentlemen, were in the city Friday sight seeing. They came

in a special private car over the South Jersey Railroad, going first to Sea Isle

City. After admiring our beautiful

resort the gentlemen went back to

Sea Isle and thence to Cape May, where J. C. Tracy, of the Lafayette Hotel, put an elaborate spread before them. It is unnecessary to say that the delightful dejeuner was done full justice to. The party consisted of Robert P. Linderman, president Bethlehem Iron Company; W. H. Mellvaine, general manager Bethlehem Iron Company; Judges M. Arnold and W. B. Hanna, J. C. McNaughton, M. Nesbit, C. J. McCleary, R. M. Johnson, W. A. Sinn, ex-Governor R. E. Pattison, W. M. Singerlay, Philadelphia Record; W. J. Kelly, Edwin A. Tennis, J. N. Craig, M. Boney, H. G. Hassenphig, all of Philadelphia; H. B. Wilson, Camden; Israel Tennis, London, England; P. G. Meek, Surveyor of Port of Philadelphia; F. I. Gowen, receiver South Jersey Railroad; Henry Wood, general manager; M. Bonzo, assistant manager South Jersey Railroad.

Our City Fathers.

Borough Council met Friday night. A greater number of citizens than usual were in attendance, because the question of the City Collector's bond and the license matter were to be decided.

After Mayor Fisher had opened the proceedings, Eugene C. Cole said that he appeared as counsel for Samuel Schurch, the city collector and treasurer. Owing to an oversight on Mr. Schurch's part and also on the part of the council Mr. Schurch had neglected to renew his bond as required by the law of 1892. Mr. Schurch did not fail to renew his bond, because he had not been requested to file a new one. He was ready and able to do so at any moment. No harm had been done. The municipality nor the taxpayers had suffered on account of the oversight.

City Solicitor Newcomb suggested that the new bond be accepted. After looking over it he considered it amply sufficient to cover the whole period since the collector assumed his office. He disagreed with Mr. Cole, however, as to the responsibility for the failure to renew the bond as required by law every year. Neither the solicitor nor the Council had been derelict in their duty in not requesting the renewal. It was Mr. Schurch's duty to have done so. Under all the circumstances, he would favor the acceptance of the new bond.

Councilman Champion said that in bringing the matter to the attention of Council, his only object was to have the law complied with. He had no desire to embarrass Mr. Schurch and to put him out of office. He merely wanted the taxpayers protected. He moved that the new bond tendered by Mr. Schurch be accepted. Councilman Hiram Steelman seconded the motion. The Mayor put the question, and all present voted in the affirmative. Mayor Fisher praised Mr. Champion for bringing the matter before Council. It showed that, notwithstanding his large business interests, he was also alert to the interests of the taxpayers. He only regretted that Mr. Champion had not discovered the oversight sooner, and he was much gratified that it was now closed.

City Solicitor Newcomb said in reference to the license question that the list of delinquents was not placed in his hands until last Wednesday. He had been unable, therefore, to make any demand upon them for settlement, but he proposed to do so, and would see that the license law was enforced. He was not in doubt as to the validity of the law, but yet he was desirous of giving the defaulters an opportunity of settling their obligations without litigation, if possible. That failing, he would proceed against them.

Mayor Fisher, with some warmth, declared that he was tired of this dillydally way of doing business. He had been elected to administer the laws, and he proposed that every man should be bound to obey them, no matter who they may be. He spoke of the annoyance he had received on account of the license question, and that seventy-eight men had come forward like good citizens and paid their dues.

About fifteen had neglected to do so, and some of these had the effrontery to

tell him that the city could not recover the fees, and dared him to put the law in force. He read the section showing that any man conducting business without a license, was liable to be arrested, brought before him and fined $10 for each offense; or in default there-

of, be committed to jail. He did not want to commit citizens to jail, but it was shameful that people who claimed to be good citizens should seek to avoid their legal obligations and give annoyance to the executive officer of the city.

For his own part he was ready to carry out the law. He was elected to administer the law, and while he remained Mayor of Ocean City he would endeavor to do so, without fear or favor. However, he was in the hands of Council and wanted them to say what should be done.

The Mayor was applauded by the audience, and evidently reflected the sentiments of all within the sound of his voice, except a funny man, who lately made his appearance at the meetings, and heretofore seems to have enjoyed himself very much.

Councilman Sutton agreed with the Mayor. He wanted the law enforced. Councilman H. Steelman coincided. He was in favor of the enforcement of the law. It was not right that one man should be compelled to pay a license while his next door neighbor was allowed to conduct a similar business scott free. Councilman Champion said that the Council had been too lenient with the defaulters. He favored immediate action by the solicitor to compel the payment of the fees. Mayor Fisher again referred to the contumacious conduct of some citizens who had expressed contempt for the Council and delcared they could not enforce compliance with the ordinance. "Let us see," said the Mayor," whether we or these men are right. Can we formulate an ordinance that will bend the people? We must protect the business people who have paid their licenses. No matter what the City Solicitor may say, I am in favor of going ahead and making the delinquents pay. The fees were due on July 5. It is now the 18th of August. What necessity is there for further delay?" [Applause] Councilman Hiram Steelman moved that the Solicitor be empowered to collect all the unpaid taxes without delay. The motion was adopted nem. con.

Crossen the Meridian of Life.

Friday last was the fiftieth birthday of R. R. Sooy, of the Hotel Brighton. Charles H. Hillborn, of Philadelphia, made the event memorable by presenting Mr. Sooy with a mammoth horseshoe made of the choicest flowers, the perfume of which shed a strong fragrance throughout the reception room and office of the hotel. The floral tribute artistically constructed was admired by everybody and typified the good luck which Mr. Hillborn wishes Mr. Sooy to enjoy for the remainder of his eventful, happy life.

Mrs. Buffington also took notice of the day by presenting Mr. Sooy with a hatful of marigolds and exquisite ferns. It was an old bathing hat, capacious in size and prodigious in brim, yet by means of the tasteful arrangement of the flowers, themselves very attractive, it was made to look very handsome and picturesque. Congratulations were numerous, and if Mr. Sooy lives out the number of years his friends would wish, Ocean City will have grown to be as large as Pekin, and old Methuselah will be but a baby in age in comparison.
