Our citizens were greatly surprised
to hear of the sudden death OF Jesse >.
Lake Wednesday evening, althorgn
his health had been gradually failing
for some time past. Mr.. Lake was sew
enty-two years old at the time OF MS
deeease, but his robust form and steady
labor gave the impression that he was
somewhat younger He was widely
known as an inventor and for many
wears he devoted nearly all OF his time
to the perfecting and patenting OF dill
ierent machines. He invented the whist
ling buoy, used by the U. S. government,
but the invention was stolen from him
and he never received any benefit from
it. OF the many other machines when
he perfected were a machine for asserting
broom-corn, a device for wiring bottles,
a self track laying car, powerful lift
ing machine, device to enable cable
cars to cross each other 8 tracks, SELF
propelling motor car, and many Others
of more OF less practical utility, includ-
ing farming implements and moving
ma chine devices. Like many others
OF great mechanical genius, Mr.. Lake
failed to realize a fortune from his nu-
merous patents, and many OF them were
never put upon the market. Person
ally he was kind and genial, generous,
industrious and well beloved citizen
The funeral took place Sunday morning.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Douglas, and singing was furnished
by a choir consisting OF Mrs. George
Frambes, Mrs. VIM. Edge, Mrs. W. E.

The contest for the republican nomna-
ton for Sheriff OF Atlantic County is
a lively one, and there is not much prob
ability that there will be choice on
the first ballot when the convention
ssembles.
Up to the time OF going to press dele
gates have been elected as follows:
For Barrett, Pleasantyille, 7. Egg
Harbor Township, 6. Brigantine, /.
For Wilson, Absecon, 3. Buena Vista,
5.
The Atlantic City caucuses will be
held Thursday evening, and will virtu-
ally decide the contest if they can agree
upon a candidate. At present, however,
it does not look as if they would be able
to unite, in which event we think Pleas
antville s candidate L. H. Barrett stands
an even chance of winning. The sharp
est fight Of the canvass, thus far, was
in Egg Harbor Township, where Stew
ard Mcconnell, OF the County Almshouse,
had energetically pulled the wires against
Barrett and in behalf OF Wilson. The
caucus met at Bargaintown and was
very lively one-but the Barrett dele
gates were elected by q majority of 80
in total OF 23O votes cast. The dele
gates elected were:
Samuel A. Smith,
Charles l.. Smith,
John Blackman,
Walter Fiiield,
Charles B. CreaEey,
Casper Adams.
The republicans of Pleasantville met
at the Council Room last Wednesday
evening to elect delegates to attend the
republican county convention at Egg
Harbor City, Oct. 8. There was no con-
test, and the only thing of interest was
to see that ticket favorable to l.. H.
Barrett s nomination for Sheriff was
elected. The following delegates were
elected unanimously:
