Miss Tilton attended the wedding of her cousin, Hon. George Grammer, who has served in the State Senate for the past fifteen years. The rain of last week was effectual in extinguishing the forest fires which were raging In the county. In the lower part of the county much valuable timber was destroyed, but the reports of destruction were greatly exaggerated. No houses were destroyed in Bakersville, nor was the danger greater than to Smith's Landing or Pleasantville. ABSECON. C. P. Johnson and wife are slowly improving. It is understood that J. W.

Bates Bros. are beautifying the cottage to he occupied by Conductor Wilcox. The outside is to be finished with two coats of paint, while the inside is to be grained throughout. Messrs. Bates are good “Knights of the Bristles" and should be given credit for their skilled workmanship Daniel Strickland and James Somers have finished the cottage upon which

they have been engaged, which contract was given them by J. V. Conover. Any one can, upon examination of the building, see that these workmen deserve their places in the front rank of the building art. The wedding of John C. Conover, of this place, and Miss Nellie Carman, of Bridgeton, took place at the residence of the bride's parents, on Easter Sunday. The officiating clergyman was Rev. Mr. Heilenman. A reception was given the bridal party by their friends and relatives on their arrival at this place Monday evening. They will re-

side here.

Charles Johnson, Jr., one of the crack bicyclists of Absecon, met his Waterloo on Sunday in the form of a maple shade tree, while passing through this place. So great was the collision that Charlie took his flight upward. We will not attempt to say how high be ascended, but he did not reach the height attained by Humpty-Dumpty. The attraction of gravity was too great. The records broken on this occasion were nothing when compared with the damage sustained by his wheeled machine, while the bark of the tree still retains a striking resemblance to a defeated

pugilist.

The Brigantine Beach Railroad is doing a rushing business at present, and if indications count for anything Brigantine is about to boom. The electric road is nearing completion; the company's office is finished; work is advancing rapidly on the power-house, and every thing has taken on an encouraging look to the well-wishers of the island. The Reading Railroad officials passed over the branch a few days since. They were more than pleased with the sudden change of affairs. Mr. Shipley especially was in a very pleasant frame of mind. He promised the patrons of the road that extra service was to commence about May 1st. Two through expresses will then connect Brigantine with Philadelphia. One of Absecon's most prosperous business men, after inquiring into the business done at this station, was compelled to acknowledge that it takes the lead of that station, which used to be the Camden and Atlantic's pride. If the tide of improvement is not checked, Brigantine will soon be the rival of the famous seaside resort--

Atlantic City. ATLANTIC CITY.

The Sixth New Jersey Regiment attended the reunion held here. Charles Sage attacked his wife, Hattie, last week with a razor, and in the struggle was badly cut about the face and hands. The cause of the trouble was the alleged waywardness of Mrs. Sage, whose husband, however, does not live with her. It was while leaving No. 18 Irving Place, where Mrs. Sage now resides, to go to her sister's for breakfast, that she was met by her husband and assaulted. Her screams attracted a crowd, and the fighting ceased. Sage was arrested and held in $1000 bail for Court, while his wife's wounds were attended by Dr. Ulmer. The Daily-Union Printing Company, with $25,000 capital stock, has filed articles of incorporation at Trenton. The company has elected the following officers: President, W. B. Loudenslager; Secretary, M. A. Devine; Treasurer and Manager, John F. Hall. While laboring under an attack of delirium tremens Friday morning, Albert J. Knox, 76 years of age, attempted to cut his throat with a razor. An ugly gash extending all the way across was made, which barely missed the jugular vein. On Saturday morning he again attempted his life. He cut himself deeply about one inch above where he inflicted the other gash, but with as little success. He was removed by the police authorities from his home to the hospital ward in the City Hall, where a guard has been placed over him and his arms strapped. While the physician was sewing up the new wound he struggled as hard as his feeble strength would permit to prevent the work, declaring that he was tired of living and desired to die. He will probably recover. The Atlantic county Democratic Executive Committee Saturday indorsed the following candidates: Collector of the port of Somers' Point, Enoch A. Higbee, of Leeds Point. Postmasters --Pomona, Harry Filling; Absecon, Miss Anna Devine; Port Republic, Joseph M. Collins; May's Landing, Joseph L. Veal; Egg Harbor City, George Mueller. The Board of Health has elected these officers: President, Joseph H. Borton; Secretary, Dr. M. D. Youngman; Treasurer, Jacob H. Leedom; Inspector, A. T. Glenn. Another meeting of the Finance Committee of City Council, in conjunction with the expert investigating committee appointed some months ago, was held to consider the accounts of exTax Collector James Stokes, deceased, who was charged with a shortage of $2301. Expert William Aiken became mixed up in trying to explain the different items and alleged errors, and was in a number of instances shown by Judge Thompson, the Stokes estate attorney, to be in error. The final result of the proceedings was the placing of the city in debt to the estate to the amount of $2890.86. Thus far every one of the accused officials, ex-Collector C. J. Adams, ex-Collector Stokes, exCity Clerk H. R. Albertson and Magistrate James Tilton have proven the report of the committee wrong and placed the city in debt to them.

There are signs of awakening from hibernation in bits of fresh paint here and there, renewals of whitewash on fences in various quarters and pairs and remodelings of villas and hotels. It is a little early yet for any active signs of rejuvenation, but as the coming summer is expected to be a lively one on account of the many visitors who will come to the East from the World's Fair, a month or so more will see the queen of the coast in shipshape to receive and entertain all who may come.
