Cape May, Aug. 31.-Congress Hall
closed rather suddenly this morning,
despite the fact that 125 guests remain
ed in the house. They had to seek
quarters elsewhere or return home,
which a good many did. The cause of
the abrupt closing of the house by
Manager Cake is stated to be the notice
of the city recorder to cut off the hotel
water supply this morning unless the
water rent of 5000 was promptly paid
Mr.. Cake claims he could not make IN
the sum, because the hotel company
had for three weeks left him entirely
without funds. The heads of the house
help say that over $500 is due the SER
wants, and they will probably stay in
the hotel until they are paid.
Millville, Sept. To-day the oyster
season in South Jersey opened. All in
dications point to very successful sea-
son, as the oysters are better in quality.
In greater numbers and higher in price.
For many years past the oystermen
have suffered heavy losses from the at
tacks of the "borer," a worm which
bores through the shell of the oyster,
rendering it UNBEATABLE. The majority
Of the beds have been devoid of this pest
this season, and the oystermen are cal
culating on the best season for the past
ten years. The beds tested show that
the oysters are much fatter than usual.
AS with the rise in wheat, the oysters,
although more plentiful, are higher In
price, bringing rs cents more a thou
sand, and from present indications the
price will continue for some time. There
are 500 boats engaged in this industry
and they employ close to 5000 persons
