Mrs. Adams, fearing the mad dog might bite some person, loaded her gun and started in pursuit. She overtook the rabid animal at Leeds' Point and dispatched it with one shot.

One thousand Italians, mostly from Philadelphia, are employed here during the berry and fruit season and Saturday they had a jolly picnic after the shipments for the day. Among the participants were two Americans, who had been drinking freely. They became involved in a quarrel with the Italians and during the melee one of the berry pickers shot Charles Sooy in the arm. The affair came near terminating in a riot, as the Italians were greatly excited and are dangerous when their pleasure is interfered with. The companion of Sooy managed to escape with his life after an exciting experience. It is feared that Sooy will lose his arm, and possibly his life, as it is thought gangrene will set in. PLEASANTVILLE. The funeral of Rebecca Adams took place and Saturday was largely attended. The services were held in Mt. Pleasant M. P. Church. Rev. J. Angelow and Rev. J. L. Watson officiated. After the sermon by Rev. J. Angelow, pastor of the church, Rev. J. L. Watson who had been her pastor several years ago, spoke very feelingly of his relations with her and of her christian character, and when he spoke of her motherly acts the audience was moved to tears. She sleeps in the churchyard at Mt. Pleasant. Children's Day services were celebrated Sunday last in both the Mt. Pleas-

ant and St. John's M. P. Churches.

The audiences were large and the programme interesting. Curtis Adams has returned home from Brooklyn, where he has for the year past resided. He will spend some weeks with his mother and friends. William Angelow has been transferred from the night freight to the day freight. Miss Marette Frambes, of Port Republic, is spending a few days in Atlantic City. Mrs. Sylvia Risley entertained quite a number of English Creek friends on Sunday. A large amount of Pleasantville matter is unavoidably crowded out of this issue. ABSECON. Children's Day was observed at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning last under the direction of Miss Georgie Townsend and Miss Eva Mad-

den. The exercises were excellent.

Dr. T. P. Waters and wife started for

the World's Fair on Tuesday. They will be gone about a month. There is quite a difference of opinion between some of our Councilmen and Overseer in relation to opening streets. Floral Exercises, under the leadership of Miss Corena Frambes, assisted by Miss Ella Conover, consisting of recitations, readings, duetts, solos, etc., were held at the M. E. Church on Sunday evening. It was pronounced the best thing of the kind ever given here. Due credit should be given those who took part in it. The shipment of oysters from this place is increasing. It is said that Captain Wesley Smith and wife will take a pleasure trip on the schooner Samuel W. Fulton when she sails again.

Church on Sunday afternoon and evening with appropriate services, consisting of singing, reading and recitations. In the afternoon the pastor, Rev. John Warthman, delivered an address on the design of the day, and in the evening Rev. Joseph Osterberry, of the M. P. Church, delivered a speech on Foreign Missions. Evan K. Jeffries and family, of Atlantic City, are visiting his parents, William Jeffries and wife. Mrs. Hannah Jeffries was horned by a cow last Thursday. John Blackman is very poorly. Ella, daughter of Walter Jeffries, fell out of a swing Wednesday afternoon and broke her arm. ATLANTIC CITY. Mercantile Appraiser W. D. Rich, of this city, is bothered over the applications of the proprietors of the slot horseracing and dice-throwing machines for license in compliance with the ordinance taxing "slot machines." Prosecutor Perry says they are games of chance and the Appraiser looks upon them as innocent amusements. The City Solicitor has been asked for his opinion, and meanwhile the machines have suspended operations. The delegates from this county to the annual convention of the State Medical Society are Drs. Boardman Reed, J. A. Joy, A. D. Cuskaden, W. M. Pollar, of this city; P. H. Boysen, of Egg Harbor City, and Job Somers, of Linwood. William Fleming, an old-time Philadelphia politician, and for many years a hotelkeeper in this city, died Thursday. He leaves a widow and several children. Trouble in the dining room of the fashionable Windsor Hotel was occasioned Friday evening by the entire corps of colored waiters going out on a strike. There were over one hundred guests in the house, and considerable inconvenience resulted from the con-

certed movement, of which the office

had no intimation until the dining

room doors were opened for the serving

of dinner. The service was conducted by an improvised corps. Head Clerk Townsend had discharged one of the waiters for cause, and the others demanded his reinstatement, which was refused. G. Jason Waters, the proprietor, was at his other hotel, Devon Inn,

when the trouble occurred.

The city authorities have started a crusade against gasoline stoves. The fourth season race of the Corinthin Yacht Club was held Saturday. The George, Alert, Ivie, Alberta, Dot, Erica, Lillias, Tuluta, Whiz, Wasp, Valkyrie, Ray, Viking and Bonita

started. Captain George Gale, of the

Georgie, brought his boat in first, his

time being 1 hour, 12 minutes and 49

seconds. The Bonita was second, in 1 hour, 14 minutes and 35 seconds, with the Alberta in third, in 1 hour, 14 minutes and 49 seconds. The course was eight miles in length. Mayor Willard Wright started Monday on a protracted trip to the mountains for his health. A colored man, giving his name as James Jones, was arrested Sunday night on a charge of incendiarism. The charge was made by Mrs. John Tren-

with, of the Seaview Excursion House,

just below Chelsea. She says she was sitting on the porch when she noticed the darkey acting suspiciously. She kept her eye on him until he crept under the porch floor, a short distance off. She then summoned an officer, and together they found Jones endeavoring to ignite a pile of wood which he had collected with the evident intention of firing the building. He fell back in terror at the approach of the officer, but promptly obeyed the latter's command to come from under the platform. He was taken to the City Hall in a patrol wagon. The License and Police Committee of City Council are holding midnight sessions examining signatures to license applications. Many of the applications, it is alleged, contain bogus and duplicate signatures. BAKERSVILLE. S. N. Conwell and wife, of Washing-

ton, D. C., are the guests of Dr. Gehr-

ing and wife. The West Jersey Division of the Pennsylvania railroad, in its great magnanimity, has erected a new shed for a depot at the station. This is in

direct opposition to the request of the patrons of the road. The traffic from

this place demands the facilities of stations on the main line. The exposure which is suffered during the winter season bby travelers waiting for the arrival of trains in the open air is of no interest to the Railroad Company. The services observed Children's Day in our church were very interesting and highly appreciated by the people. The young people who took the parts of Columbia and her defenses were well trained. Much credit is due to the superintendent of the school. Last year the superintendent instituted the custom of decorating the graves of those who had labored in the Sundayschool. Twenty-four graves were decorated, including two superintendents and two secretaries. The Union Transfer Company Baggage express will call at residences and hotels in Ocean City and check baggage through to destination, whereby the passenger will avoid all trouble of check-

Ex-Freeholder Reeves became bondsman for Corwin and Isaac Smith, treasurer of the city, for the others. A prominent real estate agent is authority for the statement that there was a larger number of cottage families here at the close of last week than has been known for twenty years past. Cot-tage-renting has taken on another boom this week, and what were left at the beginning of the week have been going off rapidly at good prices. Much travel that has been going to Europe will this year come to the shore, while the extremely warm weather of the cities is already having its effect in causing people to rush to the seaside resorts.

The Fourth of July celebration for this year is a live issue and an effort will be made to make it the biggest thing of the kind on record.

Thorn were appointed to receive fire apparatus upon its arrival and turn the same over to the fire company. Council adjourned to meet on Friday evening, June 23d. Hymerical. Cupid has been playing havoc with the hearts of the young people of our town, and for the second time within a week of the tintinnabulations of the marriage bells have been heard when Miss Beulah Elliott, daughter of W. R. Elliott, one of Ocean City's leading merchants, was led to the altar by Edward Pickering, also of this place, on Thursday evening last. The wedding was a very quiet one, only the bride's immediate family being present. The ceremony took place at the First M. E. Parsonage, Rev. W. A. Massey pronouncing the words that made them man and wife. Upon the return of the wedding party to the residence of the bride's parents an elaborate luncheon was served. May their journey through life be all that their fondest anticipations pictured. A Yachting Party Rescued.

and Jesse Camp, two boatmen, saw the accident and at once put out in a boat to the rescue.
