OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1893. We shall be glad to receive items of news and communications of interest to this community and our readers everywhere.

All communications should be ac-

companied with the full name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publication, but a guarantee of good faith. LOCAL NEWS. S. B. Miller is enclosing his Central

avenue property with a neat fence.

John Brower has greatly improved Mercantile Appraiser George L. Horn's cottage, on Wesley avenue, near Second street, by an application of paint. With this issue we publish the Board of Freeholders' annual statement in supplement form. This will prove interesting reading to those interested. George F. Lee, of Millville, through

the agency of Robert Fisher, has rented

John E. Austin's "Cedar Grove Cottage," Asbury avenue, near Ninth street. Charles F. Nabb, of Millville, has rented and taken occupancy of Peter Murdoch's store and dwelling on Asbury avenue, between Seventh and Eighth street. J. E.

Adolph Edwards, formerly station agent at Ocean View, has succeeded W. H. Elwell, resigned, at this place. Mr. Edwards' promotion is indicative of the esteem in which he is held by the West Jersey Railroad Company.

Edwin Smith, well known in this

town, where he resided for some time, died at the residence of his son Edwin E., 4937 Cherry street, Philadelphia, on Saturday last after a lingering illness.

He was in the 65th year of his age.

Mrs. R. Howard Thorn, Asbury avenue and Eighth street, is a daughter of deceased, and was present at the deathbed. Interment took place on Wednesday. Mrs. William R. Currey, with her two daughters, is spending a few days in her Central avenue cottage. She was visited by her brother, Dr. Cloud, on Friday, who has just returned from the Pacific coast and California, where

he spends his winters. The praise he

gives Ocean City, coming from such a traveler, does us great credit. He thinks our people take great pride in imrpoving and enlarging their cottages and the building of new ones.

John B. Morris has opened his fish

market in the rear of 730 Asbury avenue, where he is prepared to supply all kinds of fresh fish at short notice. Give him a call. A. D. Sharp, who has recently added two fine conveyances and a pair of

spirited horses to his livery, has now

one of the most complete and comfortable buss lines in our town. Mr. Sharp holds himself in readiness to answer the calls of those who may need his services at all times. He was always on hand with a wagon during the winter and wet season, and should be well patronized now that the travel has increased. Council Meetings. An adjourned meeting of Council, which was to have been held on Friday evening, did not meet until Monday evening, owing to the absence of a quorum upon the first-mentioned occasion. Mayor Moore and Councilmen Canfield, Corson, Hand, and Steelman were present. The committee on hose carriage and hose reported that they had purchased a carriage and 1000 feet of hose, costing $1000. This high figure caused considerable discussion, Councilman Corson

claiming that the committee should have purchased less hose.

The appropriation ordinance was

taken up for its second reading, accepted

and passed in its third and final reading. The brush ordinance was then taken up in a similar manner and passed all readings unanimously. A communication was read from Wil-

lets Godfrey complaining of the low

lots in the rear of his property; also one from Mrs. J. B. McCullough complaining of low lots adjoining her property on Wesley avenue. Council ordered Mrs. McCullough's request complied with. Robert Fisher sent a communication to Council requesting the boardwalk on

the ocean front removed from his

property, and suggesting that the walk between Sixth and Seventh streets be made to conform with the structure at Eighth street. The supervisor was instructed to take up such part of the walk and pile it up until Council located the new walk. Bills to the amount of $108 were read and ordered paid. An order for $24,

interest due Isaac Lee on note, was drawn. On motion of Councilman Hand, the Collector was ordered to proceed to collect the delinquent taxes of 1891 and that he advertise the sale immediately in the SENTINEL.

The Mayor was authorized to look

after a loan of $2000 to $3000. The Collector was authorized to pro-

ceed immediately to collect the delin-

quent taxes of 1892.

Council adjourned until Friday evening, 26th inst. Fire Company Organized. A meeting was held in Steelman's Hall Tuesday evening for the purpose of forming a fire company, and to the indefatigable efforts of Harry Reinhart can be attributed the success of the movement. After Mr. Reinhart had

stated the purpose of the meeting, Wm.

Lake was chosen secretary. Then fol-

lowed the enrolling of names and pay-

ing of a membership fee of one dollar,

twenty-nine gentlemen coming forward and depositing the requisite amount, signifying their intentions. The follow-

ing names were then presented as per-

manent officers and elected: President,

G. O. Adams; Vice President, Robert Fisher; Secretary, Wm. Lake; Assistant Secretary, E. B. English; Treasurer, S. B. Sampson; Chief, Wm. Lake; Assistant Chief, S. Carhart; Foreman, H.

Reinhart; Marshal, Jacob Steelman;

Trustees, C. A. Campbell, J. S. Rush, J.

L. Headley, E. A. Bourgeois, Frambes

Smith, Joseph Hand, Samuel Schurch; Directors, Willard Adams, E. B. English, Lucien Cox, Charles Watson,

Simeon Miller, Robert Fisher, Harry Reinhart; Fire Wardens, R. Curtis

Robinson, Mark Lake, Samuel Schurch, Joseph Hand.

Robert Fisher and R. Curtis Robinson were chosen a committee to secure a

charter. The committee to prepare the laws governing the company is Robert Fisher, Samuel Carhart and R. Curtis Robinson. The name chosen was the Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company,

No. 1. Another meeting will be held on Thursday evening next at 7:30. A Miraculous Escape. Jacob Wolf, while assisting in unload-

ing lumber intended for the construc-

tion of the electric railway, at Fourth

street, Friday, met with an accident

which will prevent his going on duty for a few days. His left arm was caught by the slipping of a sixteen-foot sleeper and pinned to the ground, but strange to say the gentleman escaped with only bruises. That no bones were broken seems almost miraculous. Hotel Arrivals. Arrivals at the Emmett are: I. J. Taylor, Jordan Matthews, Mrs. F. Dalrymple, Thomas Dalrymple, Joseph Bowker, Percy Barber, M.

He travels all through the South and West in the interest of the firm. Lawyer Millard Steelman and wife, of Atlantic City, was visiting his uncle, C. H. Steelman, of this place, last week.

byterian church was present by invita-

tion and the Rev. D. E. Lyon gave stereoptician views with a lecture on the Holy Land.

All efforts of Atlantic county sports-

men to secure quail for restocking the fields failed, the dealers being unable to supply the demand. Census Enumerator M. V. B. Moore reports four hundred school children at this place. Clams were never known to be so

plentiful in this country as at present.

Two new school districts have been formed in this county, one at McKee City and the other at Farmington, both

of which have been opposed by the

State Superintendent of Public Instruction. BARGAINTOWN. The good people of this place will hold a festival on May 30th, Decoration Day, on the grounds near Zion M. E. Church, where ice cream, lemonade, and confectionery will be served in abundance; also a luncheon of sandwiches, cakes, etc. As this is a

legal holiday and the soldiers meet on

the same day and place to decorate the graves of their comrades, we, in keeping with the day, will listen to a speech delivered by our pastor, Rev. F. A. Howell, at three P. M. The Rev. J. I. Corson will also make a speech. As with the church many friends come from a distance on that day to look

through the graveyard and to pay a

visit to their parted dead. R. S. Scull, who was injured about the time of the session of the annual

conference by falling from a farm wag-

on, has not yet recovered and fears are entertained as to what turn these injuries may take. We are sorry to learn

of the slow improvement, if any, is made.

Children's Day will be observed by

the Methodists of this place on Sunday, June 11th, at 2:30 P. M. The printed programmes will be used and the ser-

vice will be an interesting one.

The Epworth League is doing a good work here and increasing in interest and in numbers. ENGLISH CREEK. The Quarterly Meeting held here on Sunday last was well attended, and the

Presiding Elder, D. B. Harris, preached

a very interesting and instructive ser-

mon at 3 p. m. Decoration Day will be observed here on May 30th, and it promises to be a

day of interest. The G. A. R. Post will arrive about 10 a. m. Services will be

After the services are over in the church the soldiers will proceed to the cemetery to decorate the graves of their comrades. The Scullville Cornet Band will be in attendance. After luncheon the Post will proceed to Bargaintown, where like services will be held. Let all of our people turn out beforehand and fix up the graves of

their departed loved ones. The Red

Men will join with the Grand Army men on that day. A church Aid Society has been organized in our church, and will hold their first meeting on Thursday evening, May 25th, in Asbury M. E. Church. All are invited.

Great preparations are being made

here for Children's Day, June 11th,

which is becoming more popular among our people. BRIGANTINE. The new steel steamer Brigantine

made her trial trip Saturday with a large party of ladies and gentlemen on

board. A number of people from New

York and Atlantic City attended. The course was from Neafie & Levy's shipyard up the Delaware to Torresdale and return. The new vessel was found to be perfect in every respect. It is handsomely fitted up and brilliantly lighted

by electricity. The trip was under the supervision of J. Rush Ritter, president

of the Brigantine Transit Company, for

which the boat was built. The boat will ply between this place and Atlantic City. The American steamer Norman, from Providence, arrived at Philadelphia Saturday with her foretopmast and forward stays gone, together with other damage, caused by passing over the wreck of the schooner Booth Brothers, which lies in six fathoms of water, three and a half miles south of Brigantine Life Saving Station and about half a mile E. N. E. of the iron buoy at Brigantine shoals. The Norman had run between the fore and mainmast of

the sunken vessel, whose stays caught

her mast and broke it besides tearing

up her port rail. There are no marks by which the wreck can be seen, and until it is removed it will remain a constant menace to the coasting trade. PLEASANTVILLE. Commander C. A. Cox, with a delegation from Joe Hooker Post and a fife and drum corps, will visit Pleasantville on Decoration Day. Joe Hooker Post was in Egg Harbor City Monday in attendance at the unveiling of the soldier's monument.

Miss Eva Risley left on Monday for Atlantic City.

Mrs. Large and Mrs. Reiner spent

Monday in Atlantic City.

Pleasantville needs another barber, as the present one is so busy Saturday evenings he has time only for shaving. No hair cutting on that evening. Barber Willis has improved his cottage by an application of paint.

George Leach's house and store is nicely painted.

The schooner William K. Park on its trip from Boston on May 18th found a black buoy, No. 13, adrift.

Captain L. C. Lake, of the schooner William K. Park, on April 22d, in the

harbor of Norfolk rescued five men and four women off the capsized schooner Edward Wilson, and while assisting in righting the vessel discovered in the cabin the dead body of the captain's wife. Captain L. C. Lake and family left home for Bath, Maine, Tuesday.

The strawberry social proved a suc-

cess. Mrs. Ed Hutton, who has been ill with a complication of diseases, has so far recovered as to be able to be about her room. Miss Hattie Risley is convalescing. Overseer Nelson has been clearing

and widening the clam road. This is a

much needed improvement. Mrs. Daniel Risley, of Philadelphia, is visiting relatives in this place. Mrs. Cheesman and daughter are spending a few days in Philadelphia. Mr. and Mrs. John McIlvaine have moved into their new residence.

ATLANTIC CITY.

The Atlantic City Gas Company has elected the following officers: President, J. A. Barstow; Treasurer, J. H. Borton; Secretary, T. F. Reed; Directors, Hamilton Disston, William L. Elkins, John Roberts, James McManes, Savery Bradley, P. A. B. Widener, George S. Graham and John E. Mehrer. Charles J. Sage, of this city, is separated from his wife, and their child, a boy, is in custody of the mother and George W. Sherman, a relative, in Philadelphia. Saturday the father had a writ of habeas corpus issued for the boy and the Court of Chancery will decide which parent shall have him. James Piner, one of the two colored policemen, has been suspended pending an investigation of a charge of drunkenness. The Mosquito and Cricket Fleets, rival yachting associations, will compete for prizes June 8. While Jeweler H. N. Bolts, of Atlantic avenue, was eating breakfast Friday a sneak-thief stole a gold watch from his store.

The injunction issued by Circuit

Judge R. T. Miller, of Camden, Friday, restrains the Boardwalk Commissioners from exercising the functions of their office until the September term of Court, when they must appear and show cause why they should not be permanently restrained from taking

any further steps in the condemnation proceeding before them. This order

stops condemnation proceedings in the meantime, and will prevent any interference this season by the Commission-

ers with the structures outside the boardwalk. It also operates as a stay of proceedings against Young and McShea and all other defendants. The defendants, to whom the order means a probably uninterrupted business for this season at least, are jubilant over the turn affairs have taken. James Raymond and George Kessler were arrested Saturday for stealing paint brushes from George C. Felker.

A full supply constantly on Samuel J. Trilley, a prominent Democratic politician and ex-Councilman, who has been a candidate for postmaster of this city, has withdrawn from

the contest and has filed application to

be a special agent of the Treasury at Philadelphia. Vice Chancellor Green has notified Lawyer Samuel E. perry that Rachel Kerus will be allowed $3.50 a week from October 10 last, from the $15,000 estate of her husband, Harry Kerns. The relatives of the husband recently attempted to have the marriage an-

nulled. There is a merry war between the school officials and the members of the graduating class of the High School. The graduates pay all expenses, and want 40 admission tickets each, but the officials say they must be content with 20. The event occurs on June 6.

Mrs. Julia Schesselman, of Philadel-

phia, was arrested Sunday for abusing storekeepers who refused to accept her checks. The boatmen had an impromptu race Sunday afternoon after a ten dollar bill which was blown from the fingers of a gentleman on the Inlet pavilion. The note went sailing out to sea, but was captured on the fly by a nimble yachtsman as his boat went rushing past it. He was applauded by the crowd for his dexterity. James Boice has improved his property with a neat fence. Miss Nora Boice is sending a few weeks with her brother, Mark, in Philadelphia.
