rounding the Presbyterian Church. An

Runaway.

While serving milk Tuesday morn-

ing, the horse attached to I. S. Champ-

ion's milk wagon became restless while the driver, Samuel Conver, was delivering the lacteal fluid to a customer near

Third and Central avenue, and started in the direction of its stable. Before

going very far the top of the wagon

came in contact with the overhanging

branches of some trees. This scared

the animal and started it on the run, and when turning into Fifth street the vehicle was overturned and the top

badly wrecked. Outside of the da-

mage to the wagon and harness, no injury was done.

Why the Hells Are Closed. Gloucester gamblers are quarreling,

and as a result many of the gambling houses have been closed. As the Law

and Order people did not close them, it

was wondered how they came to be shut

up, and an investigation showed that a new, big, gilded gambling hell was about to be opened, and the old established gamblers concluded to shut the

whole business up, rather than let the

new one get a foothold. It is a pity that these infamous places and practices cannot be closed up except through the fights and quarrels of the scoundrels themselves.

Noncommittal Praise. One of an admiring group around a

certain conscientious woman of bound-

less tact recently asked her what she found truthfully to say when adoring parents exhibited unpromising infants or

their pictures. The tactful woman

smiled with justifiable pride at the score of anxious feminine faces turned toward her, "I always exclaim ardently, 'Well, that is a baby,' and," with dancing eyes,

"it is, you know."--New York Times.

graining and sign writing. All work

guaranteed at Smith's, 6th and Asbury.

FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION. The Day to be Celebrated in the Good Old-fashioned Way--Music, Oratory and Fireworks. The citizens of Ocean City, not to be outdone in the matter of fittingly celebrating our great national holiday, determined to call a meeting and make arrangements for its proper observance. The meeting was accordingly called for

Saturday evening last, and was well attended by representative men. Organization was effected by calling to the chair William Lake, and the se-

lection of J. W. Smith as secretary.

After the chair had stated the object of the call, a full expression of sentiment was engaged in, one and all agreeing that such arrangements should be made as would make the occasion a memorable one in the city's history. The following committee was appointed to arrange a programme:--William Lake, Robert Fisher, H. B. Adams, G. P. Moore and R. Curtis Robinson. At a meeting of this committee, Secretary R. Curtis Robinson was instructed to secure the services of the W. A. Manahan Band for the day, and to make such other arrangements as he might deem essential to the proper carrying out of the programme. William Lake and H. B. Adams were

selected as a committee to secure suit-

able orators. G. P. Moore was selected to secure the fireworks necessary. A portion of the exercises will be held at the Auditorium in the forenoon at 10 o'clock, and the pyrotechnic display will be made in the evening on the beach. Full particulars will be given by posters when final action has been taken by the management. Cape May Point's Muddle. The criminal charges against several officials and members of the Borough Council of Cape May Point have stirred

up the contest over the management of the affairs of the borough so that nothing short of a final and sweeping decision by the courts will settle the muddle.

Councilman Percy Haldeman, in explanation of the failure of the new Borough Council to organize states that he and Councilman Springer requested Mayor Bailey to call a meeting of the Council and the Mayor refused to do

so. He says Councilman Trusty refused

to join Springer and himself in calling a meeting.

The affairs of the borough, he says, are solvent, as there is $2000 tied up in bank, the uncollected taxes of 1892 amount to $3500 and there is a claim against Collector Markley of $600, while the liabilities of the borough do not exceed $2500. Councilman Haldeman says the borough's troubles are largely due to litigation, for which a large property owner is responsible. These efforts are directed toward dissolving the borough government in order to evade payment for street lights and beach improvements.

Haldeman says he and Councilman

Springer, who are charged with misappropriating borough funds, will leave the matter for the courts to determine, and they have no desire to try their cases in the newspapers. Brotherhood of the Union.

There is a movement on foot looking

to the formation of another secret beneficial organization in our town--the Brotherhood of the Union. The Brotherhood of the Union is an organization of men of all Creeds, Sects and Nationalities, banded together not only to give pecuniary assistance in time of necessity, but to teach man's

duty to his brother-man, in that sub-

lime truth which addresses itself alike

to the strong man and the little child,

to the stripling in the vigor of health

and the aged man trembling on the verge of the grave. Believing that the American Union is a palladium of liberty to the people, the guarantee of their rights and the bond of their perpetuity. The Brotherhood has vowed to maintain that Union against enemies without and against traitors within. Any fifteen men of good moral character who believe in God, who vow to de-

fend the American Union and to up-

hold the rights of labor, may obtain a Charter for a Circle of the Brotherhood of the Union: it matters not from what

part of the United States, or from what quarter of the American Continent the petitioners may hail. Like a number of its sister organizations, there is attached a sick and funeral/benefit fund. Close of the Glass Season. Nearly all of the window glass factories in South Jersey have gone out of blast for the summer. The big tanks of the Cohansey Company, at Bridgeton, shut down Saturday, and the other Bridgeton factories followed suit on

Monday. The shut-down extends all

over the country, in accordance with the action of the last meeting of the manufacturers. The stop this year is earlier than usual, and his caused by heavy stocks and poor markets. The season has been poor, 200 pots throughout the country closing down in May. Parties contemplating having their houses moved to new locations, or elevated and rebuilt will save money by corresponding with Abel D. Scull, builder and general house mover. Houses moved in any part of the county. Address A. D. Scull, builder, Thistle Cottage, Ocean City, N. J. FOR SALE OR LEASE.--Ocean front lots; bay front lots; also lots in most desirable locations.

Miss Mary Price is visiting relatives for two weeks in Wilmington, Del., and Wissahickon, Pa. Last Thursday the house of Levi Casto, Jr., was destroyed by fire. Mrs. Casto had prepared the fire in the range for ironing, and when the flames were discovered the roof was ablaze in every part. Almost everything was burned except a few articles of furniture from the kitchen. The sympathies of the people are with Mr. and Mrs. Casto. PLEASANTVILLE. Somers Bowen, who has a cancer of the lip, went to Philadelphia on Saturday to consult a specialist. St. Paul A. M. E. Church was dedicated last Sunday.

Miss Emma Reeves entertained a number of her friends Friday evening. Among those present were Misses Lizzie Halsey, Minta Andrews, Bessie Little, Eva Clark and Alberta Lake, Messrs. Ambrose Hammell, George Halsey, Daniel Megronigle and Curtis Adams. The evening was spent in promenades, music, games, etc. The company departed in the wee sma hours of the morning, all declaring they had a very enjoyable time. Among the many bicycle riders who we note Mrs. Susie Hanes, who has just received a new wheel. Mrs. C. H. Sage is quite ill. Frank Sage and son Russell is visiting Mr. Sage's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Sage. Miss Esther Reeves, who has been living with her grandparents in Atlantic City during the past year, has returned

home, where she will spend the sum-

mer months. ATLANTIC CITY. George Kelly, Jr., a son of the wellknown instalment man, while out rid-

ing Friday afternoon was thrown from

his horse, by reason of the animal becoming frightened, and badly cut about the face and other portions of the body.

He was removed to his father's seashore residence on Pennsylvania avenue. Hundreds of drum fish were seen outside the bar Thursday, and Captain Doughty caught one fish weighing 90 pounds.

Mrs. Mary Duvall, who was arrested on the charge of arson, in attempting

to set fire to a house belonging to Albert Beyer, at 811 Arctic avenue, had a hearing Friday, and was committed to the county jail without bail to await trial. She pleaded guilty, and said that she had attempted the deed in the interest of better sanitary arrange-

ments. Her landlord had refused to

alter the house in any way. Diamonds worth $2000 lost by Mrs. Z. F. Requa, of West Fifty-second street, New York, on the beach, were

returned to her Thursday by Life Guard

Elliott Repp, who received a reward of $50. Mrs. Requa is a guest at Haddon Hall, and was sitting in a reclining chair while her husband was bathing.

She held his valuables and also had her diamonds in her pocketbook in her lap. When she arose she missed the pocketbook containing the gems. After making a thorough search, she told Chief of Police Eldredge of her loss and

said she thought the diamonds had been stolen. He instructed the life guards to search for the stones and

Repp was the lucky finder.

The Supreme Conclave of Hepta-

sophs, which was in convention here

several days, adjourned Friday, to meet

May, 1895, at New Haven, Conn. The concluding business was the installation of the new officers.

Suit has been brought by Clothier

Lenaka, of Philadelphia, against six of our policemen for uniforms furnished two years ago.

Judge Garrison has granted a certiorari to take up the license of Michael

O'Donnell, of Missouri and Atlantic avenues. The Judge decided that the

certiorari should not act as a super-

sedeas. As the case will not be heard until November, O'Donnell will be able

to do business during the summer season. It appears that one of the signers

on O'Donnell's petition for license had affixed his name thereto one day before

his year was up on another petition for

license. The point is extremely technical, as the twelfth signer could have legally indorsed O'Donnell's license petition one day later. This city has two Japanese newsboys. The Cantatter Society of Philadelphia, gave its annual excursion to this city on Sunday. For obeying Mayor Wright's order, Officer John Nichols, of the police force,

was discharged last week by City Council at a special meeting. Several

weeks ago the Mayor issued an order

that all dogs not properly registered and wearing a wire muzzle should be

shot by the police on sight. Officer Nichols saw a dog belonging to George

A. Giberson, a local builder, wearing a

leather muzzle and running at large.

He promptly shot the canine, and a charge was at once made against him by Giberson. At the investigation Nichols was unable to plainly state his case beyond the fact that he was simply following out the Mayor's instructions.

Notwithstanding his plea, the officer

was ordered to turn in his equipment.

Francis Hiller was placed in May's

Landing jail on Thursday, charged with

robbing his aunt, Mrs. Goneker, of

money and jewelry valued at $450.

Albert Smith, an Englishman, was first arrested for the offense, but his innocence was established.

A man claiming to be John A. Smith, Chief of Police of Camden, and Joe Fielding, the recently-arrived English fighter, had a brief but hot fight before Justice of the Peace Williams and police

officials in the City Hall Sunday night. Fielding says that Smith assaulted him. Fielding was in the City Hall getting a warrant for the Camden man's arrest when Smith was brought in by an

officer. Smith at once renewed the

battle, and Justice of the Peace Williams, Sergeant Leeds and several officers had to separate the men. Smith was locked up. Royal Baking Powder Absolutely Pure A cream of tartar baking powder. Highest of all in leavening strength.--
