We're going to walk into that new store empty handed. Not a dollar's worth of our present stock will be carried there. It must all be sold before we move.

Here at Ocean City !t would seem that the mcre lively set assembles, and in fact it is rot a resert fer Sunday only, but many pecple come here to spend the entire sum- mer. It is also quite a political head- | quarters, and one can hear more talk about | the situation in Maryland and the next Serator from the eastern shore than in Baltimore or any of the larger cities. This is because there are a great many eastern | shore politicians living at Ocean City, and big men of the party frequently come here to consult them. ‘ Among the Washington people who are | spending the summer at Ocean City are: | John F. Waggaman and wife and three ons. This is the summer home of the Weggamans, as they have been coming for many years; Duane E. Fox and Sam Cross and family, accompanied by the Misses Burbridges and Miss Haas; s D. L. Hilton, Dr. W. T. Harbon and e, Mrs. R.Stowe and family, W.C.Gwynn, T. Johnson, W. P. Rice and famil; Fred. Smith, L. L. Harbon. Ex-Hepre- sentative Hemphill and Colonel John L. Smithmeyer spent a few days here last week. Miss Willis, daughter of Representative | Wallis of Delaware, and who is well known in Washington, has been here for a few weeks. Paymaster W. Goldsborough of the navy and family are here for the summer. He is stationed at Annapolis and finds it quite | cervenient to attend to his duties at An- nepolis and live here. | Mrs. Gibson, wife of Senator Gibson, is spending the summer at the Atlantic Hotel. She is accompanied by Mr. W. P. Semple and wife. Mrs. Semple is a daugh- ter of Mrs. Gibson. Ex-Governor Jackson and wife are here, as are also his brother, I. N. Jackson, and wife. Mrs. I. N. Jackson was formerly Miss Fanny Hibb, and was well known in Washington. There are many cottages along the beach vccupied by the families of men who come here year after year and spend the entire summer. Senator Blackburn and Senator Squire have cottazes here, but neither are occupying them this summer. There has been considerable talk during the summer of a new road across the east- ern shore so as to make the route from Weshington direct and enable residents of the capital to reach this resort in about three hours. It is possible that some ar- rangements will be made with the Balti- more, Chesapeake and Atlantic Compan: which operates both rairoad and stea' beats, to secure a shorter route for Wash ington visitors. Negotiations have been in progress for several weeks with this end in view. Last Saturday night Professor N. Du- Shane Cloward of Washington, assisted by the Mask and Wig Quartet, gave a concert at the Atlantic Hotel, which was a very enjoyable occasion. —— Transfers of Real Estate. || Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: =) | Geo.

A bill in equity has been filed by the Gar- field Memorial Hospital and by the Chil- dren's Hospital of the District of Columbia against Louisa D. Lovett and Ida Corson, administratrices of the late Anna M. Maulsby, praying that certain trusts in favor of the two hospitals mentioned in a codicil to the will of the late Emma L, Breese be declared bequests to the hospital. Mrs. Breese, who resided in Philadelphia, died July 30, 1892, and by her will, dated ee 20, 1888, bequeathed her whole es- ate to her two sisters, Charlotte Bostick and Anna M. Maulsby, in trast. Ina let- ter dated January 12, 1891, Mrs. Breese Wrote her sister that she desired $5,000 to be given to the Children’s Hospital for an endowment fund, interset only to be used, and $50,000 to construct, and endow a free gynecian hospital for poor and destitute Women, $20,000 for its construction, $5,000 for furniture and equipment, the balance to be invested for its benefit, the testatrix ex- pressing the hope that the trustees of the Garfield Hospital would permit the latter institution to be erected on its grounds as 2 part of that hospital, to be known as the Louisa Lovett Fletcher Free Gynecian Hos- pital. This letter was admitted in Philadel- phia as a codicil to the will; but the com- Plainants charge that no payment or award Was ever made to either of them. Mrs, Bostick declined the duties of administra- trix, and Mrs. Maulsby having died a few hours after Mrs. Breese’s death, the defend- ants were granted letters of administration in the matter of the estate of Mrs, Maul: Mrs. Bostick filed a statement here, ac- knowledging the receipt of $188,015.73 as surviving distributor under the will of Mrs. Maulsby, and the defendants acknowledged having a balance of the same amount. Of this balance three sums—$12,703, $12,500 and $13,418.64—the complainants pray the de- fendants shall hold in trust for the pur- poses and uses mentioned in Mrs. Breese’s will and letter, That trust is asked to be declared to be in favor of the complainants, and the defendants are asked to be required to account to the complainants for the sev- el er eon and od any further moneys ¥ ey may hereafter receiv Mrs. Breese's estate. sisi —* CONFIDENCE GAME SUSPECTED. The Taio Were Released, However, to Leave the City. William J. Parr, twenty-five years old; Florence Robinson, twenty-two years old, and Cora Parr, twenty-three years old, were locked up yesterday afternoon by De- tectives Weedon and Boyd because it was suspected that they were here to work the confidence game on people who have enough money to make their game inter- esting. Cora Parr, who is also known as “Miss Kelly,” is a good looking woman, and, it fs said, belongs in Philadelphia, where the others ‘also say they live. Ac- cording to the allegatiofts of the police the women have addressed letters to prom- inent citizens, most of whom are mer- chants, and asked them to call at the ho- tel where they were stopping. Ii the let- ters the women invariably state that they had met some friend of the intended vio- tim and had promised to write the letters. Some of the persons to whom the letters Were addressed answered in person and discovered that the letter was only a bait to get them in their power. One mer- * chant, who answered the letter, and con- cluded that there was a blackmailing scheme of some kind on foot, informed the police of his experience, and the arrests were ma So far d& the officers could ascertain no one had parted. with any money. This morning the prisoners settled their hotel bill and the officers released them to leave the city. ——— WASHINGTONIANS BY THE SEA, Many Local People Enjoying the Breezes Nenr Newport. * Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. JAMESTOWN, R. L., August 1, 1895. There are a larger number of Washington society people at this resort this year than ever before. Jamestown seems to be rapid- ly rising in popularity. The Misses Riley— Elizabeth, Ida and Ellen—are leaders in the largest social gatherings and dances. Among the prominent Washington pecple here now are Mr. W. W. Burdette and fam- ily, at the Thorndyke; the Miners, at Har- mony Villa; Capt. H. B. Seely,United States navy, at the club cottage; Commodore Ed- ward White, United States navy; Mrs. Wal- ter M. Queen, Mrs. Cordelia Crosby Raborg and Miss Christance Owen, at the Gardiner; Mr. Clinton Furbish, Charles H. L. Johason and W. W. Johnston, at the Bay View, and Mrs. Wells, the Misses Riley, Mr. Robinson Riley and several others, occupying cot- tages. The season's festivities are now in full blast. The most interesting german ever given here was held in the spacious dining hall of the Bay View last Saturday even- ing. The entertainment was arranged by Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Benoist of St. Louis, assisted by Mr. Robinson Riley of Wash- ington. Mr. Riley led, and especially dis- tinguished hims¢if on this occasion. Wash- ington society was: well represented among the thirty-five couples who attended. There Were the Misses Riley, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Burdette, Miss Alice C. Burdette and Horace Burdette, Mrs. C. P. Johnson and daughter, Clinton Furbish, Mrs. M. 8, Bates, Mr. Charies H. L. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. S. Miner, Miss Miner, Miss Marie Miner, Miss Ethel Miner, Capt. H. B. Seely, United States navy; Mrs. Walter M. Queen and Miss Owen, all Washington people among those who attended. It is expected that the men will give a german some-time in August. Horace Burdette has joined the local ball team and become one of its most promising players. The Jamestown people are anxious to see what the local team, pretty much made up of swells, will do when it meets the Newports acrcss the bay. Mr. F. T. Gilmore, United States army, visited Capt. and Mrs. Seely at the Thorn- dyke the other afternoon. The Misses Riley gave a dinner at the Gardiner Tuesday, which was well attend- ed. In the center of the table was a large bouquet of roses.
