With the work of reconstructing the

spring, the local health authorities
have become awakened again TO the
possibility that infected ice may be
gathered from the pond next winter.
and will take precautions to see that
the ice woen sold will not be distrib-

ties can not prevent the distribution

persons, and today nothing is talked of
in this and surrounding resorts but the
gorgeous and unique spectacle made by
Queen Titania, her court and between

There is the usual comment on the
award of the prizes, and it is conceded
that the judges on the whole acted
with good Judgment, considering the
vast disproportion between the prize
deserving babies and the number Of
prizes to be awarded. There is no
popular dissent as to the awarding of
the grand prize. and but little as to the
others.
The only prize to be returned was
one awarded to little Lettle s. Meeker,
of Newark, who was one of the entries
in the express wagon division. This

JEALOUS OF
HIS WIFE
Ocean Grove Suicide Had
Threatened Divorce Suit.
Lawyer Involved.
[sneoial 70 the Evenlng star.I

ASBURY PARK, Aug. so-The motive
of Robert Gravatt the Ocean Grove
boarding house keeper and Asbury Park
merchant, in shooting his wife yesterday
afternoon and then committing suicide
was Jealousy
This became known today, when it was
learned that the dead man only last week week
consulted an Asbury Park lawyer with
reference to suing his wife for absolute
divorce and naming Long Branch lawyer
as correspondent.
Gravatt, it is said believed that his
wife was too friendly with the Long
Branch lawyer, and had fully determined
to bring a divorce action until few
days ago. He was persuaded by someone
not to do so and there was a sort Of a
reconciliation between husband and wife.
Yesterday, however the husband ac-
cused his wife of having been in the COM
pany of his supposed rival since their re-
concilIation, and In moment of frenzy
during the quarrel that followed. shot her.
He fired four shots, each of which took
effect in his wifes body or limbs. and
one of which. after passing through her
thigh, also wounded their little S-year-old
daughter Molie in the groin.
Mrs. Gravatt is still in precarlous con-
dillon, but there are hopes Of her recovery.
The little girl Is not seriously injured.

craven hesitancy touched the great heart of the
Hon Tom Sharkey on the occasion of his first visit

native dignity of his bearing. Mr.. Sharkey was
just then beginning to taste of fame and fortune in

him twenty-five dollars worth of ham and eggs.
Mr. Sharkey knew full we'll the right conceit of the

Presently the lobster rosy, red, and unbuttoned
down the front, was put before him. He considered
the blushing, split creature nonchalantly, yet care
