these things come from, but they lose
their temper if they cannot get every

ask for it. They are especially arid

about five hundred on the list which we

Thompson two weeks ago from killing
Adams, and he SAID then he would kill
him when he caught him.

ATLANTIC CITY FAILURES.
A Bad Season for the Hotcis--Threc Pro
prietors Driven to the Wall.

ATLANTIC Cry, Sept. 1.-To-day in local
hotel circles was day of reckoning and
settlement, with the result that several
large hotels were unable to meet the de-
mands made upon them by their creditors.
The largest hotel Of the group in iinan-
cial trouble is the United States, the most
extensive hostelrie in the city. The pro-
prietors, Messrs. Neal 4 Hamilton, were
busy to-day. arranging claims against them,
eating about 5000. They claimed they
had not made an assignment and that they
expected to open again next spring. 1t
was asserted that there were enough new
furniture, store-room supplies and bar
stock to more than cover the deficit. This
is the hotel that is owned by John S.
Davis, president of the Philadelphia Oil
Exchange. Whether the rent has been
fully paid could not be ascertained.
Congress Hall has also closed its doors
in financial straits. L. G. Gillette, the
lessee, states that n backward season did
the work. II is expected that the owners
of the hotel, Mcssrs. Coon. Philadelphia
commission merchants, will make favor
able arrangements to liquidate all claims.
1t contains about 300 sleeping apartments
and is well known as summer hotel. The
total amount of outstanding claims is
about 5000. A meeting of the creditors
will be held tomorrow.
5. II. Lewis, proprietor of the Cambridge
Hotel, on New York avenue, also found
himself unable to meet the final demand
of his creditors to close accounts for the
season. His shortage amounts to about
pay every dollar, his creditors having
given him an extension of time. He
formerly kept the Cambridge Hotel in

yesterday by his brother, George, who
is but 10 years of age, striking him
over the left eye with spade during

They were in the barn doing some
work when they became involved in an
alteration, and both being very quick
tempered the older boy made a pass at
the younger, when the latter picked up
a spade that was lying near and struck
the blow that will probably prove fatal.
The internal table of the frontal bone
is fractured just over the left eye. The
bone was depressed and pressed on the
brain, causing a hemorrhage.
Drs. James A. and Robert b. Hopkins
of Milton, and Joseph Hearne, pro-
fessor from the Jefferson Medical Col

in town, were called in and after tre-

Melbourne did not produce rain here

condition favored continuation of the
fair weather of the four past days.
Captain Ravenscroft, Uncle Jerry
Rusks servant here, went out on the

closely, found the instrument for regis

on his reputation and without prejudice
that If II rained to-day, artificial causes
brought it about. About $50 o'clock
rain set in, clouds gathered over the

The President was not at Cape NAV
Point when the gift arrived, so Mrs.

In 1888, when Cleveland and Har-
rison were the two party candidates
for the Presidency, George Lock
wood, who is an ardent Democrat,
and Mr.. Jolls who represents the other
side, made up their minds to send the
victor a sample of our great product at
the next peach harvest. The Democrat
was to pay for the Republican victory
and vice versa the Republican in case Of
a Democratic victory. So the peaches
sent to Cape May and which found such
special favor from Mr.. Harrison and
Baby McKee's lips were Democratic
ones. The reason the peaches were not
sent before is the simple one that this is
the first peach harvest since the fall of
