Concerning Estelle.

For the past two or three weeks the
editor of the PRESS has been deluged with
flood of correspondence from the new
settlement at Estelle that is not news
and the most of which would be libelons
if printed. Neither the PRESS nor the
general public care anything about the
petty personal quarrels that arise in all
new settlements, and in all old ones too.
What we want is accurate, reliable news.
That we shall always be glad to get and
ready to print; but we will not be a
party to any Of the foolish squabbles
that, during the cold weather, seems to
have occupied the time of several persons
who might be more profitably employed
in clearing land or setting hens. If sew
eral gentlemen whom we have never had
the pleasure of meeting will heed this bit
of excellent advice it will relieve the
pressure on the EDITORS waste basket.
If we should print one half the communi-
cations recently received. just as they were
written, with the writer name attached,
we fear there would be breeze at Es-
telle compared with which West India
cyclone would be gentle zephyr. Quit
your fooljshness, gentlemen, and go to
ra Using cabbages and chickens!

HAMMONTON

La my last notes to your excellent little
paper told you that oar town had been
under cloud ever since it's founding bv
Charles K. Landis in 1857. The sO-called
charter was absolutely worthless. Deeds
were given in the majority of cases from
the middle Of the streets. The common
council have drawn thousands upon
thousands of dollars for services while
admitting they could do nothing.
But yet during these many years they
never tailed to draw their salaries, in
Guiding many big chunks of committee
work. | called attention to it many
times in the local press. Bet it is wholly
due to an article in yOui paper that
awakened the people. 1t was descanted
upon by a jumping jack who will blow
hot orcolG-for consideration and under
the guise of warm friendship all thes same.
The best class OF our people congratu-
lated me on every hand. The result, the
machine was beaten in caucus, and
better still, failed OF Il reelection three to
one. But best of all, committee of the
new council has been ppOinte6-no COM
mittee steals-tO ascertain the cost of
electric light and water works How's
that?
We have had few holes dug in the
ground and called water works. The
old machine, while admitting my various
recommendations We're good, would not
use them because they came from me.
Notwithstanding that every business
man and owner in he burnt district re-
monstrated against the erection of any
more frame buildings thereon, the last
act of the old council, while admitting
they had no authority in the matter,
was to vote to move a frame building
right where 1t endangers other property.
We have not as yet taken out patent
on imbecility, but if you want some of
the article just come up here and you
can have it and welcome. And yet, ism
it a wonder how such larvae work in?
We have no personal feeling in the case
but dead men should not stand in the
way of live men. New buildings are
going right up, and many people are
moving in, owing to our extreme health
fulness, locality and climate. l have
been honored by being called 1.-THE Chas.
I'll. Parkhurst of Hammonton." Good.

yet done part of my duty. EIAToR.

WRECKED OFF OCEAN CITY.
The Edward Waite Lost with
Her Cargo.

During a dense fog on the New Jersey
coast Sunday last, the schooner Edward
Waite, from Turk s Island for New York,
struck off Twenty-seventh Street, Ocean
City, and was totally wrecked, together
with her cargo of salt. She was heading
on course which was supposed to be
direct for Sandy Hook. Instead of this
she was really running straight toward
the sandy coast of Jersey, and brought
up with all sails set about one-eighth of
mile off the mainland. The vessel filled
with water soon after she struck. The
crew took to the boats and started to
reach the shore, not knowing until they
reached Ocean City where they were.
The life-savers took all hands to the
Peack's Beach station, where they are
being cared for. They lost everything
but the clothing on their backs.
The Waite was not visible from the
shore last night, owing to the fog and
rain. Nearly al of the cargo of salt
was dissolved by the sea water and
disappeared. It is feared the schooner
broke to pieces during the night. She
was built at Bath, Me-, in 1872. and
was well known in the coasting trade,
having been engaged in the Philadelphia
coal trade to the West Indies and East
ern ports for years past. H. M. Sargent
of Portland Me, was her managing
owner.
