DESTRUCTION or CAPE MAY.
The Great Watering Place Of New Jer-
sey Swept out Of Existence by Fires
An Incendiary's Work.

A Cape May, New Jersey, dispatch OF
November 9th, says The worst fire
that ever visited this city was dis
covered this morning about z o'clock
in the attic Of the Ocean House, on
Perry street, below Washington street,
in the new wing Of the centre house in
tervening between the Ocean House and
Washington street, the main thorough
fare of Cape May. The fire was evil
IDENTIFY the work Of an incendiary, as
there had been no fire in the Ocean
House since the close Of the season A
police officer gave the alarm and the
fire department of the city, consisting
of truck, one hand engine and num-
Der Of chemical engines responded
promptly, but it was soon found they
could do but little toward subduing the
flames. No one had been in the Ocean
House for several days. For the past
two seasons the house was run by S. H..
Ludlow, who, about fifteen minutes be-
fore tho fire was discovered, loft for
Philadelphia. The old wing OF the
Ocean House was not injured
when the fire shot across
Perry street to the west, and attacked
Congress Hall in what was called Whis-
ky row. The wind was then from the
northeast, and blowing 36 miles an
hour. THE flames spread to the new
wing Of Congress Hall fronting on Per-
ry street. About this time it commu-
nicated to the back part Of the Mer-
chants House, on jackson street. Soon
after the main wing of Congress Hall
on Washington street caught ire. The
flames then extended to the entire
house, at Perry, Washington and Jack
son streets, whence they communicated
to the old wing Of the Ocean House, on
Perry street, and at the same time
reached the Center House Cottage, and
communicated to the Peterson
Cottage, on Jackson street. The
fire rapidly swept over the adjoining
property to the tenpin alley on Jackson
street. Now the Merchants Hotel, al
ready on fire, but kept under control,
burst into flames, which made their
way down TO Beach street. II looked
as il the whole city was doomed. The
fire swept along to Fenlon's cottage by
the sea. On Jackson street Charles
Sulke's centennial house was not burned
to the ground, and Mrs. Millers cottage
on Jackson street followed. The flames
now raging furiously reached the old
Atlantic house, shot across Jackson
street 70 the George Hellworth cottage,
which fell victim, together with the
CapellO cottage. The Knickerbockei
house was then attacked, and soon after
VIM. +. Kings hot bath establishment
was included III the destruction. Geo.

STOLEN CHURCH ORNAMENTS.
How Il Canadian Farmer Flowed Up
Some Of the Booty Of the Old Chambers
Gang.
New York Tribune.

QUEBEC, Oct. 3l.-Some days ago Il
farmer named Vachon, Of the parish OF
Broughton county of Beance, turned up
in n field, while blowing, u silver candle
stick and other church ornaments,
which were stolen from the church OF
the Congregationistes, in this city,
February, 1885. The robbery was com.
mitted by n gang commanded by one
Chambers, lumberman, Of ut. Rocks.
This gang, which consisted of twenty
persons, began operations in 1882, and
defied detection for three years. Cham
bers was man Of means, carrying on
u good business, and his responsibility
gave him admission into the houses OF
the best people in Quebec. He and his
men murdered two young Engishm en-
named Griffith on Goose Island. Cap.
tain Surac, keeper Of the lighthouse mt
Poin: Platon, and Mrs. Montgomery
wealthy old lady who lived on st. Helen
street. In 1884 Chambers visited the
cure Of BEAUFORT, and the same even
ing the BEAUFORT church was robbed Of
its sacred vessels. Chambers swore he
saw the beadle, an old man named III
ton, carrying of the goods, and the bea-
die was sent to prison. On the GIN Of
February, 1885, the church Of the Con-
gregationistes on the Esplanade Hill
was robbed Of the challices, crucifxos,
images, and candelabra. Waterworth
member Of the gang, became frighten-
ed, and turned kings evidence on his
associates. Some Of the property was
founl near Cap Rouge, but, although
the informer said the rest Of it was bur.
ried in Broughton parish, il could not
be found The articles found the other
day, however, are known to
be the missing ones. Waterworth
made clean breast Of all the crimes
committed by the gang, and Chambers
and nineteen accompllces were convict
ed and transported for life. They
were sent 70 the British penal settle
ment in Van Diemans Land, and on
the voyage there in the brig Ceres they
mutinied. Two Of them were killed
and tie others ended their days in the
colony.

New York and Philadelphia paid
very largely of taxes on banks and
other taxable interests.
The receipts from distilled spirits
alone, rs shown in n table above, were
so, APO, sos. This came from all the
states, but Illinois alone paid almost
one-third of it, and, with Ohio, the two
states paid nearly one-half.
According 10 Commissioner Raum'S
figures the American people arc drink.
ing less whisky and more beer than
formerly. There was manufactured III
the fiscal year of 1873 about six million
and Il half gallons less whisky than dur
ing the previous year, and one million
and Il half gallons more beer. In order
to show the enormous quantity of fer
mented liquors annually consumed in
the United States, it is only necessary
to divide S17 ,465,60l representing the
number of gallons of fermented liquor
consumed last year) by 100000
representing the estimated popula-
ton Of this country. and the calcula-
ton will show that every man, woman,
and child III the United States drank
over seven gallons of beer, etc, last
wear, if each got his or her proportion.
1t is one of our fond theories that this
is u Christian nation; and acting upon
that theory it is fair to presume that ut
least one-half Of the population does
not drink liquor, which would allow
the other half nearly fifteen gallons Of
beer each.
BY similar calculation il can be
made to appear that each one of
our forty-tve million neighbors drank
over gallon and n quarter of distilled
spirits; but, as large quantities Of spirits
are exported (which is not the case with
beer), the analogy would not he fair.
But Commissioner Raum estimates that
1896, 100000 is annually expended for
liquor III the United States, an expendi-
ture, if applied on the public debt,
would pay it in three years. Each enc
of us, it will be seen, therefore, pays
over 1925 per year into the hands OF
liquor sellers.
The number of cigars consumed in
this country last year was 1905, 063, 743,
being an average of over forty-two ci.
CARS TO every man, woman, and child
Assuming that one-fourth Of the popu.
lation-a very large estimate-arc
smokers, each smoker would have 16s
cigars for the year.
The amount of tobacco, other thar
cigars and cigarettes, consumed, was
25,312,933 pounds, which is equal tc
more than half u pound to every inhab
liant.

THE PHILADELPHIA PRBss Us. della
wARE.-Taking its cue from the notes of
the Republican papers of Delaware, the
Philadelphia Press publishes an editorial
article headed Democratic Despotism," !"
in which it ISLANDERS our people and en-
deavors to prejudice its readers against
the laws of our State.
We care very little for the Islander
beyond the good name our rpeople wish to
bear abroad; and the effect which such
ISLANDERS may have in preventing the sale
of Delaware lands TO such persons who
may have been led to come to this State
and the Peninsula to purchase and settle.
In this regard the action of the Repub-
lican party of Kent county, and the un-
truthful comments of the Republican
press of this State and of Philadelphia,
and other cities, may injure our farmers
very materially.
1t is only necessary for us to publish
the article from the Philadelphia Pres,
to show our readers how untruthful II
is. 1t as follows:
The daily gazette., 1878-04-24

election day black men would be called
ND and tax receipt put in their hands
and they told to answer to the name and
vote. In districts where the election
officers were Republicans these negroes
would obey instructions and get their
votes very readily. But in districts
where there were Democratic election
officers, they would often forget the
names the receipts bore, and when asked
their own would give one that was not on
the receipt.
Great difficulty was also experienced
by the collectors of taxes. The negroes
would not pay their taxes and were often
insolent and on several occasions were
arrested to get them to pay the tax.
Suits arose under the U. S. Enforcement
laws and it became dangerous for the
collectors to attempt to collect the tax.
One collector was required to pay $1,000
by the U. S. Court. Then 1t was that the
State passed a law which exempts the
collectors from calling for the poll tax,
or running all over their district seeking
for the negroes, who when found would
not pay until they were made. And now
every male citizen, white or black, who
goes and pays his tax before the ASSESS
ment lists are made up has right to
vote. But this does not suit tho Repub-
lican party leaders. They want to pay
the negro's tax by proxy, hold his re-
ceipt and vote him for their party on
election day. If it is despotic to require
a man to go forward and answer to his
name and pay 81 cents tax before he
votes, then Delaware may be termed
despotic; but not without.
