DAILY ENQUIRED - SUN: COLUMBUS GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 1886. 5 Atlantic City Taken in by a Columbusito Who Finds No Sunday There. Vii I Fiun'liiir l*0|i||IIItloll Tlml lakes (lie Siilihiith for n llollilii)- — Tin- Chlniao Stare Hasn't Struck the Dirts There Neither Woulil the IlnjH lie I'riulileneil by It, Correspondence Knqulrer-Htni. Atlantic City, July 21.-1 am not “i tint vein” for writing a Bonsbore letter, but 1 feel like fulfilling my promise, mid at my time of Hit), which as you know is long past the seventies, 1 am apprehensive that if I •wait for the divine afnatus, 1 may wait a day too late and have graver matters to attend to. Do you see the pun in that? It you don’t my eorruscationsof wit will have io perish by the way, for it would never <io to resuscitate them with an explanation. 1 would rather attribute the lack of com prehension to the dullness of your readers than to confess to a want of point in my metaphor. But enough of this. I want to tell you something about Atlantic; City re deemed by enterprise from a sifting sea sand until it has become tiie watering place of the Jersey shore. Its permanent population- just here the carrier brought me the Co lumbus Enquirer of Saturday, 17th. I seized it, turned with avidity to’tlie locals, of course, for I always want to know what is going on at home; and the first thing that met my astonished gaze was that “the baby stare,” a Chicago invention, had at tacked the young ladies of Columbus. Fur ther on you say; “Thgy open the eyes to their full capacity and stare at the unfortu nate young man who happens to sit oppo site to the young indy in the streetcar,” <fcc. In the name of all that is curious, what does the para graph mean? Whose eyes do t lie young ladies’ open to their full capacity? Their eyes or the babies’ eyes? What has the young man done who sits opposite that “he should wilt and seek the seclusion of ■tiie platform?” What is it? is it a disease, or is it a fashion? is it endemic, epidemic, infectious, contagious or sporadic? Are there any premonitory symptoms? or does it come just so? We have nothing of Unit kind here. There is no scare in any of these seashore damsels. They have, however, some of the symptoms. They do open (heir eyes wide in the street ears and stare at tin; young man opposite, but lie never wilts—not a bit of it; tie stares back, and the next thing you know they are both on the same seat and afterwards as thick us “the leaves of Valambrosa,’’ and may lie seen on the beach splashing about and diving in the surf like dolphins, or sprawl ing about in the sand like spread eagles and cooing like turtle doves. But 1 am ahead of the music. I was writing about tiie permanent population of this place, when I received your mystical paragraph which certainly requires more explanation than my pun does, for at present it is perfectly incomprehensible to me, unless there is a typographical error somewhere. Please explain, and in the meantime i will resume where I digressed and say tiie pevinanet population of Atlantic City is about ten thousand. {Saturday afternoons and Sundays empty from ihe constantly running t rams of the Pennsylvania Central and the West Jer sey from fin,OIK) I o IK),000 persons. These added to those who come here for from one week to the whole season, which lasts from the middle of June to the middle of September, makes at times a population, close upon 100,000, 00,000 of whom, like John Gilpin, are “on pleasure bent,” but, alas, unlike him, no one of them has a “fru gal mind.” The 00,000 are the honey in tiie flower, and the 10,000 are the bees that are gathering it. 1 don’t think 1 reach the maximum when I say there are from S00 to 1000 hotels and cottages, where strangers are taken in and done for. There are stores before which the Bee Hive and Blanchard & Bootli and Gray’s emporiums would sink into insignificance. There are street cars and stages which will carry you anywhere for five, or six cents. There are excursion grounds with everything from a “merry go round” to an inclined railroad, elevated about twenty-live feet in the air, which goes so swiftly that the lads and the lasses incontinently hug each other. The girls get seared and the young men lend them a protecting arm, hut there is never any of “your Chicago invention” seen on that tram of cars. Our old friend Noah eouid walk these streets without an um brella in the hardest shower that fell during the forty days, and not even wet iiis eyelashes with a rain drop. Xu matter when or where the shower caught him, he could step into a hotel or cottage and be us dry as a powder horn. This is the only place that I have ever been in where the Lord didu’tlhavc a day, but there’s no Lord’s day here. Sunday is the gayest day in the week. They have some churches here but if it wasn’t for tiie old fossils like myself churches would he as empty as a contribution box in cholera time. If Sam Jones wants a field for Work, this is the sore spot that he should touch. If he wou'd stay here a wee : and let me guide his footsteps, be fore he went 'away he’d think, dancing a holy pastime, whisky a nectar for the gods, and I am very much mistaken If he would not come to tiie conclusion that surf bathing mot carried to excess of course) was a healthful and invigorating exercise. I expect to leave here m a few days, but if there was a probability of the Georgia evangelist coming here I think I would stay a week longer, if only to see him make footprints on the sands of the seashore. The scenes enacted there, if not altogether congenial to his tastes, would at least be novel and interesting and if they wou.d not serve to “point a moral or adorn a tale,” they would furnish him with illustrations of how his Satanic majesty does his work, much stronger ones than any that can he found in the bar, the ball-room or at such places as young men resort to, who are fond of short cards, seeing the animals and “lighting the tiger.” This is surely good evangelical ground, and if my talent run that way 1 could turn many an honest penny, but here I am again at the end of my letter, anil I haven’t got to the board walk yet, hut like the serial stories in the magazines, which are continued from time to time, the readers bear with what they get in the hope that something better may he forthcoming in the yet unpublish ed chapters which will compensate them for time lost in reading those already printed; so with my letters. 1 may get to the board walk yet. In the meantime bear patiently the infliction of yours, M. H ind Ilia'S You r Hoy Kcoul. A trial now in progress at Erie, Kansas, shows the intimate connection between dime novels and crime. One morning, Willie Sells, a sixteen-year-old boy, went tv a neighbor’s house and excitedly stated that a strange man had broken into his home and killed his father. The neigh bors went to the house, and saw a horrible spendable. The newspaper account says: Upon hearing this story Mr. Meiidall ac companied Willie home. When they ar rived the boy remained outside. Mr. Men- dall entered, procured a light,and was con fronted with the most horrible spectacle that can be imagined. The floor was cov ered with blood, in which he fairly hail to Wade. The ceiling was spattered and the walls stained. The old man Sells was ly ing on the floor with the whole back part of his head crashed in, and his throat cut so deep that his head was almost severed from his body. Near him, also on the floor, was the body of Mrs. Sells, with her skull crushed and her throat cut in the same manner. A few feet away, in a bed in a corner, lay the body of Miss Ina Sells .with her skull crushed and her throat cut iro n ear to ear, and in the adjoining room m the same lied in which Willie had been -.lceping was the body of Wattle Sells, with large gash in ins forehead, one of ids yes chopped out and his throat cut simi- w to the others. win. }\ a i x ')i 1L>t an< i Ntcher knife covered " ith blood were iound in tiie house, and in ue kitchen there was a basin of bloodv ' .ater in which the murderer had washed us hands. It was discovered that Willie ! , washed his hands, but above his wrists i *° i w "? fo “ ,ld OH his arms. There was 1 ood under Ins Anger nails and his under lothing was stained.
