chinery have been purchased.

The Ladies' Aid Sociable. The sociable given by the Ladies' Aid Society of the M. E. Church, held on Thursday evening last at the Excursion House, proved a great success, as they realized nearly $80 over and above expenses. Much of this success was due to the generosity and energy of Charles Cross, proprietor of the Excursion House. He not only gave the society the free use of the house and everything connected therewith, but also the use of the merry-go-round and the entire proceeds arising from it, and had it not been that he so directed his men and his own indefatigable energies in getting the house and carousal in readiness, the receipts would have fallen far short of the figures they reached. The ladies appreciating this fact, wish to tender him their sincere thanks for

his kindness and generosity in this di-

rection. FOR SALE OR LEASE.--Ocean front lots; bay front lots; also lots in most desirable locations. GEO. HAYDAY, Atlantic City Or R. R. C. ROBINSON, Sentinel Office. For sale, or exchange for real estate,

Children's Day was celebrated at Trinity M. E. Church on Sunday last. The evening services were conducted by the Sunday-school and the scholars rendered their respective parts in an admirable manner. The attendance was very large. CAPE MAY CITY. Mayor Bailey, of Cape May Point, under a forfeit of $500 bail, Saturday remanded Eutaw Chew, colored, aged 19, to await the action of the Grand Jury. Chew was charged with brutally assaulting Mrs. Mary Chew, a white woman of about 40, last Sunday evening. Adeniram Chapter, No. 39, Royal Arch Masons, was instituted Thursday evening last by Grand High Priest A. J. Bale, assisted by other grand officers. These royal officers were installed: Jos. P.

E. Miller, J. W. Thompson, masters of first, second, third and fourth vails; J. Henry Edmunds, treasurer. City Council on Saturday granted a saloon license to Alexander Gordon,

St. John's Church opened for the season Sunday. Rev. W. H. Vibbard, of New York, preached the sermon. TUCKAHOE. Harry Steelman, of Clayton, has been visiting his parents during the past week. Captain John Thomas came home last week from New York to visit his family. Dr. B. T. Abbott took a patient from May's Landing to a Philadelphia hospital for treatment. While at college

Dr. Abbott assisted in performing a

surgical operation on a doctor from South America who had been to Europe to be treated for cancer, but who had

come back to America.

Children's Day was observed at the

Baptist Church on the 18th inst. The programme was a superior one. Irvin Shaw, of Seaville, spent Sunday

with friends in this place.

It is with sorrow that we record the death of Mrs. Mary Leckey. She was a daughter of Postmaster Seeley, of

this place. The body was brought here

from Philadelphia on Saturday, the funeral taking place on Sunday. Interment at Head of River. Revs. D. L. Camp and Samuel H. Hann officiated. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of this community in their sad affliction. Children's Day in the M. E. Church

Sunday was a grand affair. The church

was handsomely decorated with flowers.

The singing was an important factor in

the success of the exercise. Messrs.

Smith and Marshall, of Seaville, assisted the choir with their cornets. Pleased With Their Purchase. A number of gentlemen interested in the recent purchase of the Philadel-

phia and Seashore Railroad from the Pennsylvania Railroad and its extension to Cape May, made a tour of inspection of the road last week and re-

turned home agreeably surprised over

the condition of the property and consequently highly satisfied with their purchase. The condition of the railroad, ties and tracks for a road that has passed through

so many financial vicissitudes and which

has been practically abandoned for two years, was admirable, and as an evi-

dence of it the special train attained a speed of fifty-two miles, running as smoothly as upon some of the first-class roads of the country. The road has been constructed from Winslow Junction to Sea Isle City, a distance of fortytwo miles, but a three-mile section between Corson's Inlet and Sea Isle City will have to be relaid, the tracks having

been taken up. Branching off at Tuck-

ahoe Junction the line leading to Cape May has also been graded and is ready for the ties and rails, with the exception of four miles of the approach to Cape May. The purchasers have already contracted with E. A. Tennis, who built the road, to complete the line from Tuckahoe Junction to Cape May, and also put the entire line from Win-

slow Junction to Sea Isle City in first-class condition. Mr. Tennis expects to begin operations next Monday, and says he will have the line to Sea Isle City in operation in thirty days, and to Cape May in sixty days.--Merchants' Guide. Summer Excursion Routes and Rates The 1893 edition of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's annual book of Summer Excursion Routes has just

been issued. It is tastefully gotten up and presents in a most practical and comprehensive manner about four hundred popular summer resorts, from which excellent selections may be made for either limited trips or extended sojourns during the summer and early fall months. The great variety of routes suggested, the complete schedules of rates, the

graphic and exhaustive descriptions of the different places, the explanatory maps and the illustrations, make this volume a most valuable guide. Copies of the book may be obtained at any ticket office of the Pennsylvania Railroad on payment of ten cents, or upon application to the General Passenger Agent, Pennsylvania Railroad,

Philadelphia, it will be forwarded upon the receipt of twenty cents. ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel." OCEANVILLE. Edward Leeds and family spent Fri-

day and Saturday in Atlantic City with

Mr. Leeds' father. MAY'S LANDING. Representatives of the American

Enamel Brick and Tile Company, of

New York City, having works at Perth Amboy, were here on Saturday negoti-

ating with the Industrial Land Development Company for the establishment

of a similar plant at this place. There

is much capital back of the enterprise,

and the indications are that the companies will come to an amicable agree-

ment.

ABSECON. Before Judge Reed, Camden, on Saturday, testimony was heard in the case of the Baker Salvage Company vs. Daniel

Walters, of this place, in an action on

contract. It is alleged that in 1887

Walters purchased a vessel from the

company for $7000. The first payment

of $1000 was made when the agreement

was drawn up. The second payment was to be made when the vessel had received its certificate from the Surveyor, and the balance as soon as possible. Walter alleges that the vessel was not as represented, and the notes given were permitted to go to protest. Judge Reed took the papers in the case and reserved his decision. BARGAINTOWN. Improvements are now being made to the inside of Zion M. E. Church during which time our people will worship in the Town Hall. Preaching every Sunday at 3 p. m. by our pastor, Rev. F. A. Howell. All are invited. We are fitting up the old brick known as Zion, the mother of Methodism in Atlantic county, out of which have grown Salem M. E., Smith's Landing; Central M. E., Linwood; Bethel M. E., Steelmanville; Asbury M. E., English Creek, and May's Landing M. E.

churches, which used to be all one cir-

cuit, and now nearly all of these have their stationed pastor. Children's Day services held in the Hall on June 11th were excellent. The programme called Children's King was used. BAKERSVILLE.

A. R. Warren and family, of Wissahickon, have returned home from a visit with friends in our village. James Tilton, of Atlantic City, has moved his family to this place for the season. Captain Barton Frink has also taken

up his residence here for the season, as

has been his custom for several years past.

Howard Harris, having completed

his junior year at Rutger's College, is

home for the summer vacation. During the dense fog of Thursday

evening last, fog horns were heard from

the ships on the ocean.

The search light which was thrown

on Sunday evening from some sailing

craft on the ocean on Atlantic City was plainly visible, being seen by different citizens in various forms. ELWOOD. James A. Harrison, during a fit of

jealous rage, Friday, struck his wife over the head with a shovel, knocking her senseless and inflicting injuries from which she may not recover. Harrison was drunk when he committed the deed. He accused his wife with having secretly met a strange man in the house of a neighbor. This she emphatically denied and asked him to produce evidence to that effect. After quarreling with her for a few moments he swore that if she denied the charge again he would kill her. Notwithstanding this threat she broke into tears and declared that her husband was wrong. The man, crazed by drink struck her over the head with a shovel he carried. She fell into a heap on the floor. Harrison became frightened at what he had done and sobered up at once. He hurried for a doctor, and then fearing that he had killed his wife he left for parts unknown. The two have an infant son and live happily together until Harrison, when under the influence of liquor, imagines all sorts of personal grievances. PORT REPUBLIC. J. Warren Rose, son of Captain Joel Rose, graduated with high honors from Pennington Seminary. He expects to take a college course for four years and then enter into the work of the ministry. Mrs. Charles Larue, of Camden, is spending a week with her mother, Mrs. Joel Rose. She and her brother, Horace Rose, expects to attend to the commencement exercises at Pennington Seminary, June 22d. Captain Charles Blake has bought the Eli Johnson property in this place. Mrs. William Boyer, of Haddonfield, is visiting her mother, Mrs. Clark. Mrs. E. D. French is in very poor health. Builder Samuel Vansant reports prospects good. He has launched a fine yacht, which will be rigged out by the 24th, for Samuel Stetzer, of Smith's Landing, and has three more on the ways. George Wilson, a 7-year-old boy, fell overboard from a pleasure yacht in the

bay. Mr. Wilson rescued the child.

Captain E. D. French received two

very fine dogs from Virginia on Friday.

Thomas Turner is building a new cottage. James Leach was buried on Wednesday afternoon in the M. E. Cemetery. Mrs. W. L. Blake is still away. J.

Endicott is beautifying her house with paint and paper in her absence.

Mrs. Roland Randolph, of Tuckerton,

is visiting Mrs. William Johnson, her mother. Elsworth Johnson is home from San Francisco. Captain E. D. French has eighteen men working on his place and wants twelve more. He is erecting a fine dwelling, supplied with all the modern

improvements in the way of gas, electric

bells, etc. The people in this place say they wish they had some more men like Mr. French. He has also purchased a part of the Daniel Higbee property. Zepheniah Rose is in poor health. Miss Ella Higbee has returned home from Atlantic City, where she has been

visiting her brother. ENGLISH CREEK. Children's Day services at Asbury M.

E. Church on Sunday, June 11th, were said to be the best ever held in the church. Hull's programme was carried out in full, and much credit is due all who took part. The strawberry season is about over, and Ezra English takes the lead for fine

fruit and large berries. Mr. English takes great pride in berry raising and secures good prices for his fruit at Atlantic City. Oyster dinners given on Sunday attracted some of our people to Pleasantville on Children's Day. The old people's service which was to have been held in Asbury Church on Sunday, June 25th, has been postponed until September. Brother Bearmore, who was to be present and take part in the services, is dead, and hence this service will not take place until September. Rev. F. A. Howell will conduct the service, assisted by some of the former pastors. Captain Daniel Lee's schooner is windbound at Somers' Point bound for New York. We understand that the services of our former public school teachers have been secured for another school year, Mr. Campbell as principal and Mr. Randolph, assistant. They have given good satisfaction. Samuel Somers has picked and sold one hundred and sixty baskets of peas to Atlantic City residents within the past few weeks. He has others coming on to take the place of the early crop. Richard S. Ingersoll is a good scow builder, and Captain J. Champion is the owner of a new and large boat re-

cently built by Mr. Ingersoll. The Asbury M. E. Church has just been nicely cleaned for the season. We

were glad to see a full house on Sunday. The Praying Band, of May's Landing, will make another visit to English

Creek on Sunday morning. They were

much pleased with their first visit. The meetings were first-class and they were nicely entertained.

Captain Lee has had his dwelling re-

painted, and it presents an attractive appearance.

Lewis H. Smith is doing a rushing business with his saw-mill. Lumber is

in good demand.

ATLANTIC CITY. Alexander Smith paid a fine of $12.50 to Recorder Leedom Saturday for attempting to learn the latest styles in hosiery from underneath the boardwalk.

The horse of Lewis Bryant, a hotel-

keeper, ran away Sunday and wrecked the carriage. Bryant saved his life by jumping from the vehicle. The Turn Verein will build a hall on North Carolina avenue. The City Councilmen have been in Washington, D. C., getting pointers on street paving.

Harry Watson was bitten in three

places Saturday by a dog belonging to John Miller. The two electric light companies have

refused to make a four months' contract

for lighting the city at a rate of 40 cents a light each night. George Ogden, of Philadelphia, disfigured his face and bruised his limbs Saturday afternoon by jumping off a

train after his hat.

While going up the steps of the Ceylon cottage, this place, Sunday, William Watson, of Camden, slipped and fell over the baluster. In his descent he struck an iron fence, and one of the rail points penetrated his skull, while another rod entered his shoulder. Dr. Pennington attended him, and pronounced the wounds of a dangerous nature. The wounded man was taken to the Cooper Hospital, Camden, on a late train. Mayor Willard Wright, who has been ill for some weeks with erysipelas, probably superinduced by an attack of grippe, suffered a relapse Sunday and is now lying in a precarious condition. Mr. Wright is about 67 years of age, and is one of the most popular men and officials in this city, being a physi-

cian by profession. He has been twice

elected to the office he now holds, the last time being in March, 1892. C. A. Idler, while out riding in the

exercising wagon of the Good Will Hook and Ladder Company, became alarmed at what he thought to be the horses running away, and undertook to jump out the back part of the wagon. His collar bone was broken, and he was badly cut about the face. Invitations are out announcing the marriage of John Hackney, of Pleasantville, and Miss Elizabeth Gandy, of this place, on June 27th. They will take a trip to Chicago.

PLEASANTVILLE. Miss Rachie Adams is still ill.

Miss Bessie Little, of Tuckahoe, is

visiting Miss Minta Andrews. There will be a lecture in the Baptist

church, by Rev. Crowell, the pastor of

the church, every Tuesday evening, at 8 o'clock, during the Summer months.

All are cordially invited. Come and

spend a pleasant hour with us. Joseph Adams is quite ill with con-

sumption. Rev. J. C. Angelow exchanged pulpits with Rev. J. H. Green, of Clemon-

ton, on Sunday. George Giberson and wife spent Sunday with John Race and wife. Miss Alberta Lake received a very handsome riding saddle on Monday last, it being a gift from her parents. Children's Day was observed in the Baptist Church on Sunday last. A number of our young men enjoyed a ride to Somers' Point on their bicycles on Sunday. Isaac Sage is on the sick list.

Miss Lizzie Halsey returned home

Monday from a few days' visit to her sister at Camden. Markie, the nine-months-old child of J. M. Callias, died Saturday night of congestion of the brain. It was buried at Salem Cemetery Monday afternoon. Children's Day was observed in the Presbyterian Church on Sunday last. The following was the programme: Anthem, choir; prayer, Rev. P. B.

They report a delightful time, both in entertainment and sight-seeing, but return with a greater appreciation for our city-by-the-sea. While Manhatten and Brighton Beaches, Sheep's-head and the many other resorts near New York are pleasant and have many advantages, Atlantic far excels them all in the line of bathing, boating and promenades. Cards are out announcing the marriage of R. L. Race and Miss Margaret C. Garwood on Thursday evening, June 29th, at Salem M. E. Church. Reception at the groom's residence from 8:30 to 11:30.
