City Hall and remained in a comatose condition.

Willis Bard, of Millville, purchased a lot on Asbury avenue between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, from

Joseph M. Corson, and has already given out the contract for the erection of a cottage thereon. There is a considerable complaint about the carelessness of drivers who allow their teams to stand unhitched on the street within the reach of shade trees. All over town trees are to be seen ruined by the horses' teeth. The demand for accommodations at the Brighton on Saturday was over-

whelming, and the management was obliged to refuse a large number for lack of accommodation, even the an-

nex cottages being filled.

Mrs. H. A. Kuabe, of Philadelphia, while going to Atlantic City, left her caba, containing diamonds and money worth $5000, on the ferryboat.

to any address for the remainder of the season at the rate of seventy-five cents.

It is a mistake many men make, in supposing that first-class printing can

not be done in a small town. This office is splendidly equipped for general

job work, and, with our large force, we can execute fine work quickly as well as

cheaply. Many of the handsome busi-

ness cards seen about town are specimens of our work. During a fight Friday at Atlantic City, John Nebranskey, a Russian Jew, was totally blinded by a blow from the fist of James Quinn, the assistant steward at the Hotel Windsor, it is alleged. Nebranskey was an oyster opener and had but one eye. The men got to fighting in the kitchen, and Quinn struck Nebranskey full in the face. Constable George S. Euft arrested early Monday morning at Egg Harbor City, Frederick Bozen, an ex-convict from Blackwell's Island, for insulting

women and children at Egg Harbor. He was committed to the jail for sixty

days. This is the supposed wild man of whom so much has been said in the

newspapers. He was drunk when arrested. The jubilee by the colored waiters of

the Traymore was not given on Satur-

day evening, as had been announced, owing to unavoidable circumstances.

An informal entertainment, however, was provided, in which Miss L. M. Carey, the elocutionist, gave several impressive recitations, and some other guests sang. It proved to be a very pleasant affair. Flattering Facts. It would probably be a very difficult matter to locate a town in New Jersey

which has such a general appearance of prosperity as this. The most striking

fact is the absolute absence of such poverty-stricken households as are gen-

erally to be found on the outskirts of towns. The filth and squalor, the dis-

ease and wretchedness, which smirch almost every town of any considerable

size, is here unknown. There is probably not an able-bodied man in the place who is not self-supporting, and extremely few men, in any business, out of employment. Another Rescue at Atlantic. Life Guard E. Bradford succeeded in effecting an exciting rescue Monday at the foot of Illinois avenue, Atlantic City. John Wharton Stokes, a young man residing in that city, had gone out bathing in front of the Brighton Casino, where he was suddenly caught in what is termed a "slue," existing there, and was drawn under. The life guard was attracted by his cries, and, going to the rescue, after a severe tussle succeeded in bringing him to the beach, where restoratives were applied and his life saved.

PORT REPUBLIC.

Pleasantville Presbyterian Sunday-school held a grand picnic at Lily Lake

Thursday, July 20th. Boating, sailing, swinging, playing croquet, was the

amusement of the day. A jolly good time was enjoyed by all.

A stereoptician entertainment was given in the Presbyterian Church by

Rev. P. B. Kennedy, Tuesday evening, July 25th. The Heavy Mails. It is a well known axiom that the

intelligence of a community is indica-

ted by the amount of mail matter it receives. If this be so, the intelligence of the people of Ocean City must be of a inordinately high order, or else the number of visitors very enormous, for the mails received and dispatched from here at the present time are far heavier than those of any period in any previous year. The real fact is, that there

are more permanent visitors to Ocean City to-day than there ever was, and

the murmers and pouts of a few habitual detractors who deliberately close their

eyes to all evidence of progress and prosperity are as ridiculous as they are false and contemptible. Ocean City is the Queen City of the Jersey coast, and any man with the

acumen of a child, can observe in the throngs that nightly line at the post-

office, the multitude of promenaders on the boardwalk, and the gay assemblages

on the porticos of our hotels, all the evidences the human mind requires, that it is a highly prosperous season,

and that the town is rapidly progress-

ing.

Toll-gate Jumpers.

The ingratitude of human nature was never better illustrated than in the case of the bridge over the Thoroughfare opposite Beesley's Point, where the enterprise and charity of a few energetic gentlemen are rewarded by appreciative travelers who habitually pillage them of their tolls. Eleven years ago transit between Ocean City and Beesley's Point was by yacht alone. There was no bridge whatever between the two places. The hucksters and others from Tuckahoe and the surrounding country, who now make daily trips here, were barred out. There was a stone wall around the island, and the voyage to the Point was no common event. Those whose

business called them between the two places suffered the greatest inconven-

ience, and a bridge was longed for. But no one had the courage to place his hand in his pocket and contribute toward its construction.

At last, however, Rev. E. B. Lake, noticing the inconvenience, took steps

to organize a company to construct the bridge, and before long the work was in progress. It was nothing more nor less than charity, for the expenses were heavy, and it was seen that it would not pay for many years. The Ocean City and Beesley's Point Turnpike Company came into being in 1883, and the first work done was the construction of the road from Thirty-fourth street and Asbury avenue to the bridge. A heavy bed of gravel was laid on pine timber, and a first-class road was made. The

road from end to end is about two miles long, and in addition to the

original coast of about $2000, there has been $3000 expended on it for re-

pairs and improvements. The bridge itself cost about $3000, with the build-

ings adjoining, which are used by the toll keeper. The enterprise is on a pay-

ing basis now, although so heavily defrauded by the fleecing travelers, and last year paid off a mortgage of $700. But the deadhead element is so numerous, that there is very little profit in the concern. A foot passenger is charged three cents for a single passage, and five cents for the round trip. A horse goes over one way for ten cents, and returns for fifteen. Double teams pay fifteen cents for the single, and twenty cents for the round-trip. Gifted Anneley, who has charge of the toll-gate at the bridge, says he is powerless to avert the frauds. A sanctimonious countryman will drive up with his nag a little before church time and swear he is going to worship, whereas a matter of fact he may be known to be bound for a horse trade. Often these pious dead heads do not return the same day, and leave Mr. Anneley to conclude that their assiduity of worship must have equalled Abraham's, tarrying all night, and perhaps wrestling with an angel. The most audacious frauds, however, are bicyclers, who on their swift machines dash over the bridge like lightning locomotives, leaving the dismayed tollman behind them. There is the man who inadvertently left his pocketbook at home and will pay on the mor-row--the morrow that never comes. The sneaky footpad, who silently approaches the bridge, and dashes over at a break-neck speed, is also a familiar character, and there is no end to the variety of frauds. A gate has lately been erected, however, and it is proposed with this to put a stop to the dishonest practices. Mr. Anneley is a very vigilant and efficient man, and has had many a passage-at-arms with this class of road agents. A Piano Organ. Charles Cross has made arrangements with a Philadelphia house to secure a

magnificent new piano organ for his merry-go-round at the Excursion House, which he expects to have adjusted today. At the beginning of the pres-

ent season Mr. Cross purchased a new cylinder for his organ, playing nine

new airs. But it appears that the people prefer "popular" waltz music to that of the school of the German masters, which is now being rendered by his organ, and in the new instrument, which is of the "piano organ" style, he expects to play the light airs that are in such demand.
