Committed Suicide. Franklin Cooke, aged 63 years, familiarly known as Captain Cooke, around Corson's Inlet, committed suicied about 6 o'clock Thursday morning, by cutting hsi throat with a penknife, at his cottage at Fifty-second street, where he and his wife had been living for a few

months.

Captain Charles Stevens, of the Corson's Inlet Life Saving Station, was immediately notified, and with his crew, did all in their power to relieve the suffering man, while a messenger was dispatched for Dr. T. C. Hutchinson, a distance of about six miles. Life was extinct before the arrival of the physi-

cian, the man living about two hours after the commission of the deed. The gash was about two inches long, and

by working the knife to and fro on the inside, he succeeded in severing the windpipe. Mr. Cooke was suffering from melancholia, and no doubt it was

while in one of these spells that he took

his life. He had been unable to do any

work since last May, but during the past few weeks he failed so rapidly that

his relatives were deliberating about

putting him in an asylum or hospital. At the time of the cutting, Mrs. Cooke was still in bed, but raised up to look after him, when to her horror, she saw him working the knife to and fro in his throat. She had been conversing with him a few minutes before, at which time he seemed all right. Mr. Cooke attempted suicide last July by drinking laudanum while in a fit of insanity, but the timely arrival of Dr. Hutchinson at that time, saved his life. Coroner Robinson viewed the body, and after a thorough investigation

deemed an inquest unnecessary.

The funeral took plcae on Saturday afternoon, interment being made in Trinity M. E. cemetery, Beesley's Point. B. C. Ingersoll & Co., undertakers, were in charge.

Fire in the Mansion House, Atlantic City. The origin of the fire which did $1500 worth of damage to the upper floors of the Mansion House Monday morning, at 2.30 o'clock, still remains a mystery, although a thorough investigation has been made. The supposition is that some guest of the house dropped a match or cigar which smouldered under the furnishings of the room where the flames were confined when the discovery was first made took fire. The watchman detected the smell of smoke and quickly awoke Proprietor McGlade. A hurried tour was made to the fourth floor where their progress was blocked by a sheet of flame. An alarm was turned in from Box 31, a half-square mile from the hotel, but by the time the firemen and their apparatus were on the scene the fire had made rapid progress, and seemed to envelop the entire Pennsylvania avenue side of the hotel. The firemen went to work with a will, and, as a result of their well-directed efforts, the fire was under control fifteen minutes after the water was turned on the apparently doomed building. Much damage was done by water, but to its unlimited use is due the fact that the entire building was not destroyed. The estimate of the insurance appraisers made in the afternoon places the loss at not more than $1500.

During the excitement many of the guests of the house were self-possessed and remained in their rooms, ready, however, to vacate at a minute's

notice.

Atlantic County Bicycle Meet.

On Saturday, September 28th, the Hammonton Athletic Association will

close their racing season with a Bicycle

Race Meet open only to residents of this county. This club has made a big reputation during the season for put-

ting up the best prizes ever offered in

South Jersey, and they have had the

largest field of good riders ever seen together in the section. Their half-mile

track is prononced by veteran racing

men to be faster than the Tioga track

at Philadelphia. Among the other events, of which there are five, is a one-mile race for the championship of Atlantic county, the prize being a valuable gold medal. This well be a race for "blood and glory," and will undoubtedly be the race of the meet. Then there are the three handicaps, all of which will attract a large number of entries. There are a number of prizes

offered for the various races.

On the same day the G. A. R. will unveil a soldier's monument in the morning with appropriate ceremonies.

A number ot visiting Posts and other

organizations will be present.

The Union Transfer Company Baggage Express will call at residences and 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.

ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel." MAY'S LANDING. James Clark and family have moved to Holly Beach. HAMMONTON. An unknown Italian attempted to burn Braddock's cranberry bog at Iron Mills Friday, but was discovered by H. P. Sordon, who put the fire out. The incendiary is supposed to be a man who quit work a few days ago because the berries had scalded so badly that he could not make wages. He demanded his pay of the foreman, who refused to pay him until Braddock arrived. EGG HARBOR CITY. The Saengerfest which was held in this city Sunday was one of the largest known for many years. Fully 5000 singers from Philadelphia and elsewhere came on special trains over the Reading Railroad. Among the leading societies of Philadelphia who took part in the event were the Franz Abt Saengerbund, Schubert Harmonie, West Philadelphia Leiderverein, Arion Singing Society, Germantown Maennerchor, Philadelphia Liederkranz and many others. The day in general passed off quietly, and the police reported few arrests. STEELMANVILLE. The funeral of Mrs. Nicholas Somers took place Saturday last at 10 o'clock. Services were held at the house. Interment in Zion M. E. cemetery. Mrs. S. Wheaton raised a sunflower in her garden that measured 12 inches in circumference and 8 feet 9 inches high. If any body has raised a larger one in the county, let us hear from them. The fires are raging all around us. The men turned out Monday in large numbers and went to the fires to do what they could to stay the ravages of the flames. Tuesday morning the smoke was so dense we could not see but a short distance. Reports come to us that the fire is under control. LINWOOD. Five hundred citizens Sunday fought one of the most disastrous forest fires that ever raged through the pine belts of South Jersey. For the last week the fire has worked its way from Egg Harbor and May's Landing, growing both in size and fierceness as it approached the coast. Taking a fresh start at McKee City, it worked its way within a mile of Pleasantville Saturday afternoon, being fanned by a strong northwesterly wind and fed by a thick, dry growth of underbrush among the great, towering pines, destroying thousands of dollars' worth of timber. This particular belt of timber has had no fire through it for a number of years. The small chapel at Pleasant Valley, with the outbuildings of Henry Gouldey, were totally destroyed about 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Sunday the fire threatened the town of Bakersville and a large number of houses at Bargaintown, but on account of the wind changing to the east it drove the flames to Bargaintown mill pond and there they died out. PORT REPUBLIC. No rain yet at this writing for our discouraged farmers. Corn is being housed, but only half a crop, and in some instances not that. Hay though was never finer, and the farmers are rejoicing about that. There is always some reason for thankfulness to the Great Providence. One of our most successful young men, who is accumulating a fortune in California, is visiting his parents here, which is the eastern terminus of his bridal tour. This young man, Ellsworth Johnson, deserves more than a passing notice, and he will get it some day. He is only one of the several successes of which this place may be proud. D. B. Ashley has bought the interest of his son, Ralph, in the store. Captain French and family will move to Atlantic City in October, much to the regret of their many friends at this

place.

Mrs. Clark's boarding house is pretty well crowded with company from Haddonfield, the Collins' and Pennypacker's with their families, also Mrs. Clark's daughter Rena, and her daughter, the young Miss "Queen Elizabeth," who are visiting the former's mother.

ATLANTIC CITY.

With most impressive services the remains of Dr. Willard Wright, five

times Mayor of this city, and the father of Democracy in Atlantic county, were laid to rest in Pleasantville Cemetery Thursday. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in this city. It was attended by the members of Trinity Lodge of Masons and Pequod Tribe of

Red Men, of which the deceased was a prominent member, and the physicians of the city also attended the funeral of their deceased senior colleague, in a body, to the grave where the Masonic funeral rites were held. Revs. J. F. Mundy and Thomas J. Cross, the officiating clergymen, paid fitting tributes to the many excellent qualities of the deceased ex-Mayor. A large delegation of the members of City Council and other city officials followed the remaisn t othe cemetery. The sloop yacht race at the Inlet Saturday for a purse of $500 in gold was witnessed by several thousand people. Five boats entered, vis: The John E. Mehrer, Cornet, Ella, Carrie Egner and Volunteer. The Egner broke the jaw of the gaff of her mainsail and was prevented from continuing in the race. The volunteer broke down and did not sail. The start was made at the Inlet wharf, the Mehrer, commanded by Captain Sam Gale, taking the lead (under sail with a large party on board), at 12.06.20; Cornet second; Ella, third. Mehrer came in an easy winner thirteen minutes ahead of the Zella The course was ten miles to the sea and return. Captain Gale is proud of his victory. He has held the title of champion for his boat for twenty-two years. The life guards go off duty to-morrow. Attorney U. G. Styron obtained from Justice Garrison, in Camden, Saturday, a writ of certiorari, taking up the ordinance by which the Atlantic City Telephone and Telegraph Company was given a franchise in Atlantic City. The action was at the instance of the South Jersey Telephone Company, which has its system in operation on the Island. Patrick Kilcourse, proprietor of Hotel Kilcourse, while asleep on his porch recently was robbed of a gold watch, worth $89, and several dollars in cash. William Henry West, colored, was locked up Sunday, charged with the crime. West was caught trying to sell the watch near the Pennsylvania depot. The yacht Minerva, a pleasure craft from Island Heights, was towed into the Inlet Sunday by the Brigantine steamer Lorraine, with a broken topmast. The Minerva was returning from a cruise in Cape May, and was about three miles at sea when a sudden squall carried away her mast. Her distress signals were recognized on shore. William Henry West, a colored crook, the first prisoner to escape from the city prison, released himself Monday morning, about 7 o'clock, and is still enjoying his liberty, although the police have been scouring the city for him. Recorder Gouldey was holding hearings in the station house, and Turkney Shaw was called there with a prisoner, which left the jail without a guardian. The lock on West's cell was left unclasped, and the outer door of the brick prison was open as well. He waited until the turnkey had departed, and then slipping his hand through the bars lifted off the big iron lock, opened the cell door, and escaped over a high fence surrounding the jail yard.

I am prepared to furnish a first-class red brick guaranteed to withstand the frost or climatic changes, which has no superior at the present time for use in paving. Not only are they a superior article, but the cost is

much less than those of other brands now in use in our town. YOUNGS CORSON.
