Pleasant Summer Trips.

From the Eelr York Times June 7fh 1885
With the first hot breath of summer
come recollections of broad highways, of
hard sand stretches of billowy ocean,
the roar of surges, the cooling breath of
Neptune, the plash of the waves, the
salty air from the wide sweeping sea,
coast, and nature, ever kindly, has
placed within easy reaching distance
sea coast for the pleasure Of mankind IN
their hours of leisure, and which man
has improved until it seems perfection.
From Sandy Hook to Cape May the At
lantic Ocean dashes upoh coast of the
most variable but always beautiful de-
scription. Years ago this was for the
most part a desolate shore, but today it
blossoms like the rose, and attracts to it
the tired dwellcrs in cities who have a
day, week, or menth of relaxation.
At one end of this shining strip of sand
lies Long Branch, and at the other Cape
May, while between them are located
numerous other resorts, all worthy of at
tention, and each of which has it's cham
pions among summer tourists.
The most important of the intermediate
resorts is Atlantic City. 1t has the dis
tinetion of being strkingly unlike all
other seaside resort. 1t reminds one of
a striking character i'll Uncle Toms
Cabin" a young woman who ''just grow
ed" Atlantic City wasn't planned 1t
Jumped into existence apparently of its
own accord, and has seemingly made
hit. 1t is practically an island, for it is
separated from the main land by miles
of salt marshes. 1t is twenty miles nearer
to Philadelphia than any other New
Jersey resort, and perhaps for this rea-
son it is the Mecca of Philadelphians and
of people who live hundreds of miles from
that city. Every one in Pennsylvania
has heard of Atlantic City, and when the
denizen of the lural districts takes va
cation, and reaches Philadelphia, his first
thought is to get out of it and reach At
lantic City as quickly as possible. The
first thing to do is to find hotel, and.
with a guide, this is not dlfficult-they
are numerous. There are, besides the
hotels, cottages without number and pri-
vate boarding houses beyond count. At
lantic City has beyond doubt made hit,
for it is always crowded in summer with
vast concourse of people drawn from
every walk of life. The facilities for
reaching Atlantic City are favorable. The
distance from New York by way of Phil
adelph1a is $50 miles by rail, and is COW
cred in about four hours by the Penn
sylvaria Railroad and it's seashore con-
nections. All kinds of fish abound in it's
waters, and salt water birds are numer-
Gus in its immediate vicinity. Its even
temperature makes it healthful resort,
and this perhaps to account for the fact
that it is patronized by the rich as well
as the poor. It's board walk is a JOY for
ever. if not thing of beauty. Bathing
and swimming is indu'ged in to an un-
limited extent. On Sundays the crowd
is immense. On week days it is also i'm
mense. Atlantic City has nothing to
complain of. The present season promises
to eclipse all previous seasons in the mat

THE ARREST OF MAXWELL.
to Remand the Case Until the Accused
is Extradited.

The Police Justiceat New Zealand Proposes
to Remand the Case Until the Accused
is Extradited.
The steamer City of Sydney from Aus
tralia arrived at San Francisco last Mon
day morning with Sydney dates to May
II and Auckland, New Zealand, dates to
May 2G. The Auckland papers contain
an account of the arrest on May 5 of
Walter II. Lennox Maxwell, alias Theo-
dore Cecil Danguier, charged with hav-
ing murdered Charles A. Preller in ST.
Louis on April 5. The arrest was made
by United States Consul Gamble, who re-
ceived a telegram from United States
Secretary of State giving him authority
to act.
Two detectives boarded the steamer at
Tiritir, and the prrser in reply to their
questions stated that there was man
among the steerage passengers answer
ing Maxwell's description. The man was
summoned on deck and the first question
asked him was whether he was a physi-
clan. He promptly denied this, saying
that he was a native of France, and an
officer in the French army. The detec-
tives informed him that they had war
him INTO custody Maxwell appeared to
be Disconnected, but recovered his COM
posure while the officers were Handwriting
him, and coolly remarked that the whole
affair was mistake, which would be
quickly explained away. On May he
was brought into the police court and
the charges against him were read. The
crown solicitor appeared for the prosecu-
ton and Messrs. Napier and Burton for
the defense The latter claimed that the
court had no jurisdiction, and after some
argument the case was remanded to the
7th, after which it was again remanded
to the 18th.
On that day Consul Gamble was the
first witness called. He testified on be-
half of the prosecution as to the various
articles found in Maxwell's trunk, which,
among other things, contained two en-
broidered handkercLiefs marked sc. A.
F." and shirt with two large spots of
blood on it. In reply to the question as
to how articles not bearing the initials of
his name had come into his possession,
Maxwell said they had been given to him
in San Francisco by man named Rob-
inson.
Detective Tushy, one of the two officers
who arrested Maxwell, testified to finding
the following articles in MaxwelPs
satchel: Thirty-four cuffs and two hand
kerchiefs, all marked 90. A. P.;' a
memorandum book marked "Dangier,
pocket medical dictionary in which was
written wv. II. Lennox Maxwell, M. D.,
F. A. r. G. S." and a dressing case
marked "W. ii. Lennox Maxwell" All
| of these articles, Maxwell said he bought
| from the same man, Robinson in San
Francisco.
Counsel for the defense at this point
| again contended that the court had no
jurisdiction in the matter, and asked for
a dismissal of the case, which was then
remanded to May rs; on that day to the
93d and again on that day to the 3Oth

ACCORDING to the census recently
taken by the police Of Washington, the
number of bar room licenses issued
last year was sos. The number
granted so far this year is 65o, which
is an increase of 81 liquor shops or an
increase of about IA per cent in less
than six months. The number OF
wholesale liquor dealers has increased
accordingly. The question naturally
suggests itself: is this due to the adj
vent to power of the Very hungry, and

GENERAL GRANTS TRIP.
Going Into the Mountains-His Condition


Going Into the Mountains-His Condition
Much Worse.
1t was found on Monday that Genera
Grants condition had grown so much
worse within few days that it has been
decided that he must go to A. j. Drexefs
summer residence at Mt. McGregor the
next morning. w ii. Vanderbilt put
his private parlor car at the disposal OF
the General and the train consisted OF
this car and another for the servants.
Mrs. Grant accompanied her husband,
with Colonel and Mrs. Fred Grant and
Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant. Jr. Mrs. Sar-
toris remains at the Generals residence
until next week and then expects to 60
to Mt. McGregor too. DR.. D'uglass,
Harrison, the Generals body servant,
and Henry, the nurse, went, also two
maid -servatts. This removal of the Cen
eral will be watched with interest, in
view of the fact that he has all along
been very susceptible to cold and damp
and it is a question how he will stand
life on a mountain eleven hundred feet
high, where fires are a necessity IN sum-
mer aud chilling miSts are frequent.
General Grant is said to be in more
critical condition since his removal to
Mount McGresor than at any previous
time since his nearly fatal attack in the
sprins, and his death at any time
would not be a surprise to his physicians.

Death OF Augustus Gasslway-He Expires
Suddenly.

Suddenly.
Mr.. Augustus Gassaway died very sud-
denly at o'clock last Monday evening
at his residence, 80 Pleasant street Balti-
more. He had been down town, and
came home at 5 o'clock apparently in per-
feet health and ate supper as usual.
Shortly before o'clock he was taken
with sever pam in the head and in 10
minutes was dead.
Mr.. Gassaway was member of an
old Annapolis family, and had held at
different times several offices of RESPONSE
bility. For many years he was secretary
to the Senate of Maryland and was also
for long time deputy clerk to the Court
of Appeals. At the time of his death he
was clerk in the Record Office in this
city He was born and reared in Annap-
oils, but for two years he had been resi-
dent of Baltimore. In Annapolis no man
was better known, and he had a large
number of friends there. He was a
brother of William ii Gassaway, who for
years has been prominent as justice OF
the peace in Annapolis, and also of Mr..
Louis G.. Gassaway, cashier of the Far
mers' National B INK. of that city.

No news has been received Of the steam

it is concluded she is safe. The sound
apparently comes from two or three
miles down the river. Early in the
morning crowds of women, children
and mounted men were seen hurrying
into the bush on the other side of the
river.

tomorrow and communicate with the
