VOL. V. No. 4.
(v TRIP TO WILDWOOD.
THE JERSEY RESORT WRITTEN UP
BY A VISITOR.
For a Few Days of Delightful Ffeaimre
Try the Beautiful anil Healthy Little
Town by the .Seaside, in Which a Num
ber of Freeland People Are Interested.
On Wednesday morning, June 22, Mr.
Birkbeck of Freeland, Mr. Klinger and
tlie writer of Sandy Itun, together with
our families boardod the train for Wild
wood, N. J. The ride as far as Phila
delphia, although the scenery along the
route was old to us, was not a tedious
one by any means, as the weather was
pleasantly cool and the whole party en-
Aiyed this part of the trip very much.
Wo arrived in Philadelphia at one
o'clock and having several hours to
spare before taking the train for Wild
wood, the ladies spent this time in
inspecting the stores on Market and
Eighth streets. Of course the pretty
things they saw were very templing and,
as is quite natural, to see was to purchase.
Tommy and I, seeing nothing to
tempt or interest us particularly, put in
the time doing nothing but keeping up
the renr end of the procession. Wo
might have gone out and "seen a man,"
but the ladies assured us that they
"would be only live or ten minutes."
No, taking their word for it, we remain
ed only to reaji the reward of victims of
misplaced confidence, for Vim file or ten
minutes grew into hours and by the
time they got through it was time to
start for Camden, where we were to
lake the train for the seaside.
We left Camden at 4.15 P. M., via the
West Jersey Railroad, and arrived at
Wild wood at U..10, making the run of
seventy-four miles in two hours and
lifteen minutes. , The scenery along this
route was new to my party, and when
we struck the ocean the children's
enthusiasm knew no bounds.
At Wildwood we stopped at Mr. Birk
beck's cottage "Silver Dean," a very
pretty one facing the oceun, and only
about two hundred yards from the beach.
It is kept by Mrs. C. M. Edgar, of Phila
delphia, who cordially weleomrd us and
at once made us feel perfectly at home.
Being the first arrivals at her house we
had everything our own way, and she
took every precaution to make it pleasant
for us. After supper all took a walk
down to the beach. Unfortunately little
or 110 breeze was stirring at this time, so
after enjoying a look at the "sad sea
waves" for awhile the ladies returned to
the cottage while we started out to see
the town and arrange a programme for
the morrow.
Next day we took a swim in the ocean,
and while paddling about in the waves
the ladies said they never saw such
homely looking men in their lives.
Now that kind of talk was pretty rough
on us, as we rather prided ourselves on
our good looks, but we laid the blame to
the bathing suits and accepted the com
pliment with us good grace as was
possible under the circumstances.
in the afternoon we took a carriage
and drove up te Anglesea, two miles
above Wildwood. The ride along the
beach was delightful und beneficial.
This beach furnishes an elegant driving
course, being as solid and smooth as a
floor; in fact so firm that the wheels of
the carriage scarcely made a dent in the
sand. There was a stilt breeze, cliuck
ful of ozene, (a little suited however)
blowing from the ocean, which was
indeed very invigorating.
Coming home we drove through the
woods, stopping at Wildwood park. This
is a lovely grove of holly, cedar, white
oak and pine trees, together with other
f forms of vegetation somewhat similar to
what we have here in the mountains,
such as grape vines, huckleberry bushes,
sassafras trees, honeysuckles and morn
ing glorius and 1 noticed the ground was
completely covered with a peculiar kind
of evergreen, something like our trailing
arbutus, and which produces a white
flower, very fragrant. The magnolia
tree, which you would hardly expect to
find anywhere but in the Southern states,
flourishes here in all its beauty, the
flowers filling the air with their sweet
perfume.
The holly tree is perhaps the most
interesting to be found there. lam not
acquainted with its history, but it is
certainly the most peculiar tree I ever
saw. One of its characteristics appears
to bo that of twisting itself into all
manner of inconceivable shapes. It
seems as full of tricks us a monkey, and
if your imagination iB lively enough you
can find lots of amusement naming the
• different forms which its brunches as
sume. Kucli for instance as horse collars,
horse shoes, swords, hearts, etc.
I noticed several growing together
from one stump and connected about six
feet from the ground by a ligament.
,These are called the "Siamese twins"
and the "Chinese twins." Others are
twisted up so much that it would be
impossible to trace the branches. The
cednrs are very beautiful trees, most of
them being covered with a growth of
fine moss, making them both attractive
and pleasing to the eye.
There is also in the park a lake of
fresh water, upon which you may enjoy
boating to your heart's content. It is
only two or three feet deep, therefore
perfectly safe for children. The grounds
are fitted up with every possible con
venience and iB a pleasure grove in every
sense of the word. Here you can take
your choice —if you don't like the ocean
you can take to the woods.
They are now cutting a channel from
the lake to the crabbing grounds, wbich
are about a half-mile from the park, so
those visiting the grounds may reach
them in boats instead of having to walk.
Crabbing is splendid fun—the little
fellows are easily caught if you know
how, but I nssure you they are mighty
cute and you have to watch them lest
tliey prove to be like the "Irishman's
flea."
Wildwood is without doubt one of the
most beautiful, cleanly and healthful
resorts along the Atlantic coast to-day.
At present there are about fifty cottages
erected and more under contract. It is
only eight miles from Cape May, which
latter place can be reached easly by boat
or train. The beach at "Wild wood is the
finest and safest I ever struck. You
may safely go out a couple of hundred
yards or more and find that the water is
only up to your armpits. There is a pier
reaching far out into the ocean where
you can get the full benefit of the sea
breeze at any time. A large pavilion
seating thousands of persons is erected
along the beach.
The effect of the salt and mountain air
combined was distinctly felt by all before
we were there very long, and we dis
covered that our appetites were improv
ing to such an extent that somo of the par
ty became somewhat alarmed for fear the
supply of grub at "Silver Dean" would
run short, but our landlady was equal to
the occasion and pulled us through very
nicely, supplying every want of the
inner man. Three square meals were
ready for us everyday, and, strange to
say, we were always ready for the meals.
We were much benefited by our short
stay at that place, and to any one who
desirs to secnro all the advantages of u
seaside resort at a nominal cost I would
recommend Wildwood. P. P.

Miss Annie Canty visited friends in Alden
last week.
Not many years ago this was a desirable
place to live. Now the work is growing scarce,
and slowly but surely the houm>B are vacated.
Doors and windows are boarded up and this
gives the town a desolate appearance.
Some of the young men here are very uneasy
and would like to know the corres|>ondent.
Jack, we will keep an eye on you.
On Thursday James Quinn had his foot badly
hurt by a louded car running over it at No. '£
slope.
The stripping here will not be so extensive as
was ut llrst supposed. What lias been stripped
will be taken to the breaker under ground.
The sui face and rock is so thick that the com
pany will soon uhuudon it.

Iluso ltull, Ktc.
Early this morning the business men
and citizens of Freeland were busily
engaged in putting the finishing touches
to the handsome decorations with which
their buildings are covered. From all
indications July 4, 1892, will be long
remembered by the people here as one
of the greatest days the town has ever
seen. The grand parade to take place
this afternoon, under the auspices of
('amp 147, P. O. S. of A., will be the
most prominent feature of the day.
Handsome arches, the first ever erect
ed here, were placed in position at ('en
tre and Front and Centre and Main
streets. The decorations will be com
pleted this morning and will add consid
erablo to the appearance of the town.
The Points, not be outdone by the I
borough, started shortly after twelve j
o'clock last night, and two more arches i
were put up on Centre between South j
and Carbon streets.
Officers Kennedy, McLaughlin and
Gallagher patrolled the town until six
o'clock this morning to protect the
decorations and arches, and to guard 1
against any danger of fire that might
arise from fireworks. The streets were
filled all night hut no trouble of any
kind wus experienced.

Afraid of the Dam*.
The feeling of insecurity which hoyerg
over several Schuylkill towns has in
duced the borough councils of St. Clair,
Port Carbon, Palo Alto and Schuylkill
llaven, all of whicn would loose heavily
should any of the Pottsville Water Com
pany's dams burst, to appoint commit
tees to meet next Wcduesday to formu
late plans for their protection from any
danger from this source in the future.
They demand the drawing off of ten feet
of water from the Moree dam, the largest
of the four, covering over ninety-three
acres, with its attendant immense body
of water. The company contends, how
ever, that on account of its shallowness
and immense breast, that it would he
impossible for it to give way.
Passenger Service on the X). S. & S.
On Friday morning the first regular
passenger train was run over the fiele
ware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill Kail
road from Drifton to Sheppton. This
move of the company is more in keeping
with the expectations of the public, ana
goes to show that the new road is des
tined to be something greater than a
mere coal brancli of the Reading system.
1 lie train is in charge of Conductor
Joe Smith, and twenty-eight passengers
were carried the first day. The service
and accommodations are not yet what
the officials intend making theui, but af
ler the road secures its own passenger cars
it will probably develope the trade along
Uie line much better than at present.
Hie proposed extension to Freeland
would givo tlie road a great boom around
here, especially if Sunday trains were
run at convenient hours from Hazleton
and the South Side. Following is the
time table of the passenger service:

Murdered at Lattimer.
Coal and Iron Policeman Hampton
and Cook were here this morning trying
to trace an Italian named Lawrence
Ricci, who murdered a countryman,
Fedila Pappan, at Lattimer yesterday!
The trouble occurred at a christening
last night, which ended in a general
light among the guests. Ricci began
shooting and after failing to hit Pappan
with three shots he pulled a stilletto and
ripped open his victim, who died shortly
after. In company with his three
brothers, aged 11, 15 and 24 years, he
left Lattimer, hut the officers have sent
word in every direction to have him ar
rested. Policeman Hampton describes
the murderer as a man about 30 years
old, light mustache, scar on forehead,
wore striped pants and soft hat. Deputy
Coroner Buckley left this morning for
Lattimer to hold an in juest on Pappan.
llurned by Powder.
A number of young boys in the upper
end of town purchased five cents' worth
of gunpowder on Saturday afternoon for
to use in a small cannon, which they
had procured to celebrate the Fourth.
While lighting the cannon one of them
carelessly dropped a piece of "punk"
into the can containing the powder. It
exploded instantly, severely burning
James O'Donnell, son of Hugh O'Don
nell, and Maurice Boyle, son of Hugh
Boyle, and a few other little follows
were touched up by the blaze. The two
named were taken to their homes on
Walnut street, and after being examined
by physicians were removed to Hazleton
hospital. Their injuries, while not
serious, are very painful.
Meeting of Miner*.
j The mass meeting of the Amalgamated
j Association of Miners and Mine Laborers,
which wai to be held at Shamokin on
) Saturday evening, lias been postponed
; until July 9. The inability of the
[ speakers selected for the rally to attend
is assigned as the cause for a change in
l the date. There is a strong effort being
made to organize the miners. There is
a wide difference of opinion as to what
course the men w ill pursue. Some are
in favor of forming a secret organization,
while others seem to favor an open
union, something similar to tho old W.
1!. A. The leaders do not favor this,
and seem to he afraid to identify them
selves with the cause.
County Convention*.
The Newsdealer says the Democratic
county convention will probably be held
some time in August. Probably either
the 19th or 23d of that month will be
the date set. The standing committee
will meet this week, agree upon the date
and issue the call. An early date will
be necssary as under the new ballot law
the nominations for office will have to
he certified to the secretary of the com
monwealth sixty days before election, so
as to allow a sufficient time for the print
ing of the tidkets. The Republicans
meet at Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday to
decide upon a date for their convention.
Lively Time at a l>ay Office.
At the Jeddo pay office on Thursday
there was a lively- time, caused by a
Hungarian attempting to draw another's
pay under an assumed name. He was
caught in the act by Policeman Seiwell,
who arrested him. Another Hungarian
protested against the arrest, as unjust,
and Seiwell tried to arrest him also, but
the Hun escaped, Seiwell using his
revolver without effect. The Hun was
taken before Squire Weiss and given a
hearing. The next morning the man
who escaped was arrested, brought
before the squire, where lie was tried
and fined the full extent of the law.
Mine Examination*.
The examination of candidates for cer
tificates of qualification as mine foreman
will take place July 8 and 9, in the Pino
street school building, Hazleton. The
board consists of lion, E. B. Coxe
operator; John W. Scott, of Hazleton,'
miner; Michael Mulligan, Upper Lehigh,
miner; and Mine Inspector John M.
Lewis, of Hazleton.
