ing and lodged in the county jail, charged with feloniously assaulting his 9-year-old stepdaughter, Emily H.

Lore's wife, the mother of the young girl by a former marriage. Lore emphatically denies the charge.

BARGAINTOWN.

Professor Wilson and family have returned to their home at East Orange after spending a month with Mrs. Wilson's parents. The Ladies' Aid will meet at Rev. J. L. Corson's this Thursday evening. Zion Sunday-school gave a picnic last Tuesday which was quite a success. Public school commenced on Tuesday, September 3d, with Professor Eldredge as teacher. LINWOOD. Rev. H. M. Smith gave a Bible reading on Sunday evening on "Christian Courage," which was quite interesting. The C. E. society called a "When and Where Meeting," led by D. T. Steelman, which was enjoyed by those participating. Mrs. Rebecca Cooper and grandson, who have been visiting Mrs. Joseph Risley, returned to Philadelphia last week. Kate Ballentine has returned to Atlantic City. Charlotte Merritt made a few calls on friends in this place Saturday. A number of our people attended camp meeting at Ocean City, and came to the conclusion that Ocean City is a grand place. S. Lane Powell and Miss Emma Preston, of Philadelphia, were guests of Mrs. Annie Powell on Sunday. ABSECON. Mrs. Annie Watson and children, of Washington, D. C., returned home on Saturday after spending a delightful season here, the guests of the former's parents, Enoch Champion and wife. Mrs. Champion accompanied them to Washington, where she will remain for a few weeks. Miss Corena Frambes, who spent a season at the White Sulphur Springs, has returned home. Captain Frank Babcock, of the schooner Abel E. Babcock, is spending a few days at home while his vessel is unloading ice in Philadelphia. Mrs. Rebecca Champion, wife of Daniel Champion, was buried from the residence of her husband on Tuesday of last week. Death came suddenly. Deceased was visiting friends in Atlantic City when stricken with the illness which proved fatal in less than four days. She had many friends here. School began here on Monday morning last. Miss Mary Ward, principal, and Miss Brown of Old Bridge, assistant. It is thought that we have good teachers this year. Miss Lou Shaw, who has been visiting Miss Corena Frambes, returned home on Monday morning. Charles Turpin, son of Rev. J. B.

Quarterly meeting at the M. E. church on Sunday last. Oyster season here practically closed on Monday last. The largest shipments have ceased, and the shippers say they have not been very successful this year so far as profits are concerned. ATLANTIC CITY. Theresa Thomas, a colored woman, employed at Creighton's Hotel, on the boardwalk, was fatally burned Sunday morning, by lard setting fire to her dress while she was working over a stove in the hotel kitchen. She was removed to Ocean City Hospital, where she died Monday afternoon. The body of John F. Jowett, who resided at Germantown, was found Sunday on the beach, near Ventnor, by Surfman Young, of the Government Life Saving Station at SeaView. Jewett went into bathe on Friday, and it is supposed that he was stricken with heart failure, from which disease he had been a sufferer. His remains were conveyed to Philadelphia, where interment was made yesterday. John Paynter, a hotel man, of this city was arrested Sunday on a warrant charging him with selling liquor without a license. The police state that Paynter's arrest marks the beginning of a crusade against the speak-easies which abound in this city. The police are looking for a slick thief who, during the past week, effected an entrance to three cottages on South Carolina avenue while loitering about in the garb of a city scavenger. The thief was daring to a degree that made the police particularly anxious to capture him. The description given of him is precisely the same as that of the murderous burglar who assaulted Isaac R. Davis and his sister in the North Carolina avenue cottage on the night of July 12th. County Prosecutor Perry expresses the belief that he is the man who committed that crime. The match race between Commodore Hollingsworth's Ellide, of Atlantic City, and Captain H. W. Kingsbury's Ellida, of Baltimore, Md., took place Wednesday, and the Ellide won the cup. Both boats were Herreschoff's make, and built as racers. The course was ten miles to windward and return from the Sea Buoy. The cricket fleet held the second of their three-point faces for the King c up Thursday. There were eight entries. A strong southerly breeze sent them skimming over the smooth water of the thoroughfare. Harry Turner's Imp, winner of the former race, was again winner in 1 hour 4 minutes 15 seonds over the nine-mile triangular course. The Hornet, Cricket, Myrtyle, Paxson, Alice, Ed Naylor and Harry finished in the order named. Myers' Music Hall, on Atlantic avenue, near Kentucky, Atlantic City, was closed by the sheriff on $5000 chattel mortgage held by Brewer Otto Huber, of Brooklyn, Thursday. The building was erected early in the season at a cost of $40,000. Councils' Committee on Streets, Walks and Drives, Friday night, reported favorably upon the drafting of an ordinance for the construction of a forty-eight-foot boardwalk, with girders and supports entirely of steel. The new walk will run from Massachusetts avenue as far down as Michigan avenue, and form one of the grandest promenades in the world. It will be the widest and longest of its kind to be found at any seaside resort, and will cost $100,000. The present walk is twenty-four feet wide.

William Jordan, an aged resident of North Eleventh street, Philadelphia, is

missing from the Hotel Herman. He has been stopping at the hotel for some time, but is supposed to have been afflicted with another stroke of paralysis, from which he suffered sometime since, and is unable to tell where he

belongs. His clothes and valuables are still at the Herman.

Tuckahoe Items.

This community was saddened Tuesday of last week to hear of the death of John Champion, of Cramer's Hill, but formerly of Tuckahoe. He had been sick for several weeks, and it was thought he was out of danger, when suddenly he was taken with paralysis of the brain and passed away. He was one of the finest young men in Tuckahoe. The church of which he was a member deeply feels his loss. Rev. J. B. Wescott, his pastor, officiated at the funeral, and a part of the Official Board of that church followed the re-

mains to their last resting place. The family and friends have the sympathy of this community in their great loss. John S. VanGilder, wife and sister, of Knoxville, Tenn., left for their home on Monday after spending six weeks here.

Run Into by a Trolley Car.

Mrs. Fisher, wife of Robert Fisher, the Mayor, and Mrs. W. S. Graham of

Pottsville, Pa., her brother's wife, met with an untoward accident while out driving Wednesday forenoon which for-

tunately resulted in only slight injury to the ladies. They were on Wesley avenue, near Fourth street, and Mrs. Fisher had stopped the buggy to engage in conversation with a passing acquaintance. Seeing a trolley car approaching Mrs. Fisher urged the horse forward, intending to turn into Fourth street. But the horse backed so close to the railroad tracks that the trolley car struck the buggy, cutting off the near wheel and upsetting the vehicle. The two la-

dies were thrown out, and Mrs. Graham received a severe strain in one of her ankles, and Mrs. Fisher received a

rather rough shaking. The horse hap-

pily did not become alarmed but stood still, otherwise the ladies might have

been seriously hurt.

Mayor Fisher investigated the acci-

dent, and claims that the trolley people

are to blame, because, although they could see that the buggy was dangerously close to the tracks, they made no attempt to slacken the speed of the car, and that the clanging of the motorman's bell distracted and confused the horse.

The trolley people assert that they are blameless, for, they say, the buggy was clear of the tracks as they drew near, and the obstinacy and backward movement of the horse close to the tracks, was altogether unexpected. The car was in control of B. Campbell, motorman, and Charles Lake, conductor.

OUR SHOES SPEAK VOLUMES

FOR THEMSELVES!

Volumes filled with pertinent points; all the points are well taken, too; and so secure plenty of takers for our shoes. Such shoe oratory is irresistible, and presents a multitude of

foot notes well worth studying. It's counting health to house the feet comfortably in a pair of shoes that are always the very idea for the season; the correct thing in style, and the "Just what I want" brand for everybody. What a shoe ought to be is just what our shoes are, and just what a shoe ought to cost is what our shoes do cost.

Accidentally Shot.

Bertram Rogers, the youngest son of Henry M. Rogers, of Forty-first and Locust streets, Philadelphia, was very seriously wounded while gunning at

Somers' Point, last Friday afternoon.

Young Rogers left the Brighton Hotel

here about 2 o'clock to indulge in his favorite pastime. He went alone in his sail boat. The accident occurred about 4 o'clock. He had

placed the gun in an erect position in the boat, and gone forward to attend to some matters. The boat rocked somewhat, the gun was thrown down, the cartridge exploded and the contents thereof struck him in the rear right side, in the region of the liver, effecting a ghastly wound. One of the

Somers' Point steamboats was nearby and took the wounded lad ashore, where he was lodged in the Bradford House.

After a most careful examination it was ascertained that the shot had produced an ugly, but not necessarily dangerous, flesh wound, and the young man is now on the road to recovery. It was at first thought the entire charge had entered the liver, and on this supposition was based the rumor that the accident would terminate fatally.

Republican State Convention. The Republican voters of Cape May County will meet in their usual places for holding such meetings, in the respective townships, and boroughs and at Cape May City on the evening of

Saturday, August 31st, 1895,

at 8 p. m., and select delegates to a State Convention to be held in the city of Trenton, at 12 m., on Thursday, September 19th, 1895, 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.

Rescued a Drowning Boy.

Frank Dinninger, a lad employed at Essen's bakery, Cape May, N. J., left his work and went in bathing Wednes-

day afternoon. A big wave broke over

him, the undertow from which carried him out beyond his depth. He called for help, and John Diamond, a Beach avenue cottager, threw off his hat and coat and plunged in. After a heroic effort he secured Dinninger and swam to the shore with him, where he was recusitated.

A Mysterious Death.

John K. Wall, aged 38 years, a clerk, of 427 Landis street, Philadelphia, who went to Atlantic City two months ago, died on the beach, at the foot of Maryland avenue, Monday morning. Wall went in bathing with a man and woman who, after his death, claimed to be his

friends. He had just entered the water and was talking to them gaily, when, without a cry, he dropped in the water, which did not reach above his knees.

The life guards hastened to his assistance, and Wall was carried up on the beach. He was breathing when Dr. Tallman, of Philadelphia, who had been bathing near-by, reached his side, but he expired almost immediately after. Dr. Souder, the county physician, viewed the remains and was of the opinion that a post-mortem should be held. He says the remains did not indicate that death was caused by heart failure, but he was at a loss to give any other explanation for his sudden death.

Another Sensational Departure.

H. H. Campbell, the fruit dealer, whose place of business was on Asbury avenue, near Seventh street, has followed the example of Mrs. Hurfurth and Herman Krause, and quietly stole

away to pastures new, leaving behind

him numerous creditors to mourn his flight. No intimation was given of the

gentleman's intention until too late to

thwart his well-laid plans, but he will look in vain for the baggage which he had checked over the W. J. R. R. This

is now in the hands of Marshal Con-

ver, who also holds a warrant for Camp-

bell's arrest on the charge of obtaining goods under false pretense. Albert D. Fogg, a commission merchant, of Philadelphia, who was bamboozled out of

about $100, swore out the document. The entire amount of Campbell's indebtedness is in the neighborhood of

$250, Mayor Fisher and Mr. Fogg being

the heaviest losers, the balance being divided among a number of our tradespeople.

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. Supt. JOHN REEMER, Agent.

Pronounced Insane.

The question of the sanity of exCongressman C. A. Bergen, of Camden, was up Friday last at Cape May, N. J., before a commission comprising Alderman F. Sidney Townsend, Dr. W. Leaming, J. Spicer Leaming and 24 jurymen, who, after taking testi-

mony, rendered a verdict that Mr. Bergen was of unsound mind from paresis.

The step is preliminary to the appointment of a guardian for his estate. He is one of the leading members of the Camden County Bar.
