HARRISON SEASIDE COTTAGE.
The Cape Mav Presidential Boomer
Comes to Grief.


Comes to Grief.
.Specidl to the Jersey Citu Neics.
CAPE MAY, Dec. 1e, 1891.-The effort to
build up a boom at Cape May Point on
the strength of President Harrison's
visits there has resulted disastrously for
Arson H. Hamilton. The boom was
short-liyed. and now legal procesdi ngs
have been begun by the creditors OF Mr..
Hamilton, for which the effort to estab-
lish a summer resort with Presid ent Har-
rison as 4 foundation is responsible. A
bill of complaint was filed In the Court OF
Chancery on Wednesday by Judge
Howard Carrow to foreclose mortgages
n mounting, principal n interest. to $780,
900. Tn compliments are and
trustees Of two Philadelphia estates, and
the defendant Is Mr.. Hamilton.
The property includes the Cape House,
Carlton House, Ocean House, Shoreham
House and 500 building l~ots-aDout two
thirds of Cape May Point. Many citizens
of Cape May Point nave been made par
ties to the suit, as many OF the lots had
never been released from the lien of the
mortgages soon to be freclosed.
Judge Carrow some time ago recovered
judgments against Hamilton $l06, 600 for
money loaned. The Sheriff Of Cape May
county sold all of Hamilton's personal
property under these judgments, includ-
Ing even the tally-ho coach used by Presi-
dent Harrison. The money represented
by the mortgages Was used i'll making
preparations for the great boom that
never materialized. A million dollars was
also sunk in the Philadelphia and Sea-
shore Railway. which was expected to do
a big business after the boom had de.
veloped.
1t is reported that the summer cottage
Of President Harrison Is included In the
foreclosure mortgage. but the report can
not be confirmed.

has attracted more interest than the Glen

the story OF the eventfuI night Of the tar

Identification of those engag ed in the out

New York City. and Mrs. Jerry McCauley
were here, aud they TOOK charge Of Julia
and provided for her wants. The poor

and il satisfied that julia would have a
pleasant and good home there, TO let her
go to that institution.
Julia and her mother went home yes
terday afternoon. accompanied by an
officer detailed by the Sheriff. 1t has
been found necessary to do this in order
to protect Julia from the hoodlums who
were going home to Glen Gardner and
vicinity on the same train. A tremend.
ous pressure is brought to bear upon the
Grand Jurors to influence them in behalf
of the accused men. This Is said to come
from those who hold high social positions
in the county.
