We are thankful the work is through, for each day we expected to hear of a fall from that bugbear of a steeple or dangerous gables.

Bargaintown's Big Day.

Sunday, October 1st, was a bright and beautiful day, one of October's prettiest, and as pleasant as we are apt to enjoy in this beautiful fall month after the heated summer is past and the cool northwest winds fan our brows with such refreshing breezes. According to announcement by the pastor, Rev. F. A. Howell, the Rev. W. S. Zane, of Keyport, was on hand at the hour of service--10.30 a. m. A large congregation filled the old church, and when the pastor announced the opening, "Zion stands with hills surrounded," everybody was ready to sing. Miss Anna Garwood, the organist, deserves much credit for the manner in which she conducted the music. The singing

was much enlivened by Mr. Race, of Smith's Landing, who aided with his cornet, and Mrs. Race with her strong and clear voice. Rev. Zane delivered a very excellent and instructive sermon, and all were more than pleased.

The improvements made inside the church have added very much to the comfort as well as the beauty of the

building. One of the features of which Bro. Zane made mention was the existence of the high and lofty pulpit when he was the pastor some twenty-four and a-half years ago, and now he said you have gotten down more humble. At that time the pulpit platform would scarcely accommodate the speaker in sitting or standing, and now its proportions are ample for a half dozen ministers. The trustees had announced previous to the service that there would be no collection taken, and the baskets were passed and some ten dollars were realized.

In the afternoon Bro. Zane preached at 3 o'clock to a large and appreciative congregation one of his best sermons, which was full of interest and power.

All available seats were taken. The service in the afternoon was somewhat amusing, after the sermon. A part of the trustees were much opposed to the taking of a special collection, but Bro. Zane said he would not have the name of coming so great a distance and re-

turning to inform his people that there was no collection taken up at the rededica-

tion of a Methodist church, as he knew many were there with the expectation of contributing something. "So, with this notion of my own and with the consent of the pastor, I will take it myself, and he started out into the audi-

ence and begun by saying that one of the members said when he was pastor here that he was a good preacher but

not much of a collector, and now I will show them how I will succeed." When he came back he had $30. It is a part of our Methodism to give, and our people mean to do it.

On Sunday, October 8th, the pastor, Rev. F. A. Howell, will administer the sacrament of baptism to adults, and receive the probationers into full membership.

The Sunday-school will meet at 2 p. m., and the public service at 3 p. m. All are invited. F. A. HOWELL.

Short Line Project. Notice has been served upon the Township Committee of Galloway that at the next meeting of that body application will be made for the right of way from Absecon town line to Burlington county line, through the above township, for the construction of an electric passenger railroad. This will make a short line from New York to Brigantine Beach. It is also said a branch will be built along the shore road to Absecon. The Central Railroad Company and a few Philadelphia and New York capitalists are the projectors of the road.

Death of Grace A. Bartine. When word was received here last Thursday morning of the death of Miss Grace A. Bartine, youngest daughter of Dr. D. W. and Louisa K. Bartine, at the residence of her brother-in-law, Augus Wade, 4035 Girard avenue, Philadelphia, it was difficult to comprehend the full meaning of the message, but inquiry proved it only too true. Miss Bartine was in the enjoyment of perfect health up to within a few hours of her death. She had been visiting her sister for some time, and it was while assisting in some light household duties she was suddenly seized with the fatal illness and in five hours she had breathed her last. When taken ill, her father and medical aid were summoned, but all human efforts proved unavailing in affording relief and as the midnight hour approached her spirit took its flight. Deceased, who was in her twenty-fifth year, enjoyed the acquaintance of a large circle of friends in Ocean City, and to these sad news, coming as it did without a moment's warning, came as a thunderbolt from out a cloudless sky.

Death has been reaping a rich harvest in this section within the past few months, the young, the middle-aged, and the aged alike being summoned to that bourne from whence no traveler ere returns.

The bereaved family have the sweet consolation gained from the knowledge that they have the deepest sympathy of this entire community. The body was taken to Hulmeville, Pa., on Monday morning for interment, services having been held at the home of Augus Wade on Sunday evening.

Association Building Entered. Some person or persons gained forcible entrance to the Association building, corner Asbury avenue and Sixth street, early Friday morning, evidently with the intention of robbery, but their design was frustrated, as nothing of a portable nature was carried away.

The discovery that the building had been entered was made early on the above morning by Harvey Y. Lake, clerk for E. B. Lake, who went to the office earlier than usual that day, as he wished to prepare some mail matter for the early train.

When Mr. Lake entered the building he found a number of the windows up, and the door communicating with William Lake's office unfastened, as was also the door leading to Sixth street.

A hasty survey of the room was made, and from finger imprints on the safe, which stands on the south side of the building, it was concluded that entrance

had been gained by the window at that point. Further search failed to reveal any loss, but a cross mark on the safe below the combination had the appearance of being made for the purpose of drilling through the iron door. Whether the thieves were scared away or not, remains a mystery. A person who passed the building about 2 o'clock that morning, says there were no indications of the presence of any one about the place at that time. There are rumors rife on the street that several suspicious characters have been noticed loitering about the town for several days past.

A Painful Gunshot Wound.

While out gunning Thursday morn-

ing last, B. Frank Smith, son of B. R. Smith, of Asbury avenue, received a gunshot wound of a very serious nature. The young man had started out in search of game, and while proceeding down the railroad in the vicinity of R. B. Stites' lumber yard, he noticed a bird a short distance ahead of him. Wishing to get within easy range of the game, he attempted to step from the track be-

hind a clump of bushes, having pre-

viously cocked his double-barreled gun, and in doing so tripped and fell, the muzzle of the gun imbedding itself in the soft earth at that point. Falling at full length, with the gun underneath him, for some unknown cause the weapon was exploded, the right hand barrel bursting about one inch from the muzzle, the contents plowing across the knuckles of the left hand, lacerating

them in a terrible manner. Mr. Smith not realizing the extent of his injuries, returned home, and accompanied by his sister, sought the services of Dr. Willets, who dressed the wound; but in the afternoon, under advice, he started for Cooper Hospital, Camden.

A Successful Gardener. George Fenstermacher, a retired lumber merchant, whose residence is on Wesley avenue between Seventh and Eighth streets, has turned his attention to agriculture, and during the past summer his labors have been rewarded with monster yields. On the 20th of June he planted watermelon seeds, from which he took two succulent melons weighing 38½ pounds each, and measuring over two feet in length. Notwithstanding their immense size, they were of most excellent flavor and fiber. He also raised some particularly fine citron. As the harvest is over, he is now making improvements to his already neat property by adding a veranda, etc. While in the lumber business Mr. Fenstermacher furnished much of the material sued in the construction of some of our finest buildings.

GREEN CREEK.

Mrs. Elizabeth Hand died on Satur-

day at this place, aged 89 years. Mrs. Hand was the mother of the late Captain Joseph Hand, of Camden; Captain Seth Hand, of Philadelphia; Captain Somers Hand, of Atlantic City, and H. W. Hand, of Cape May. Mrs. Hand was a woman well known in Cape May City and county, and her long life was one of usefulness and of devotion to her children.

ment declared the county jail to be un-

fit for human habitation, and demanded an entirely new building.

Pretty 14-year-old Viola Thompson, placed on trial last week on a charge of attempting to poison her grandparents, was triumphantly acquitted and dis-

charged from custody. The girl took the stand in her own defense and denied having put any arsenic in the family coffee pot for the purpose of killing her

relatives. She said the old people had always been kind for her and she could have no object in getting them out of

the way. The jury believed her story and promptly rendered a verdict of not guilty. Miss Thompson was heartily

congratulated by her friends upon her prompt acquittal, and after the trial everyone crowded around to shake hands with the fair defendant.

Judge Alfred Reed has rendered a decision in favor of Captain George Hildreth, who sued Alfred Church, of

Cold Spring Life Saving Station, for taking planted oysters from Hildreth's grounds in Cape Island Sound. Mr. Hildreth proved his oysters by the shells.

Wedding Anniversary.

The W. A. Manahan Band serenaded Mr. and Mrs. Harry Reinhart, Asbury avenue, Monday evening, the occasion being the twenty-third anniversary of the marriage of that lady and gentleman.

Harry, as Mr. Reinhart is familiarly called, who has spent almost a lifetime in the hazardous and responsible duties of a locomotive engineer, finds as much

pleasure now, as in the years gone by, in remembering her who has been his devoted companion and helpmeet on life's journey for almost a quarter of a

century, and he took this opportunity to prove that time only intensifies the love and devotion of a true man for the partner of his joys and sorrows.

May it be their lot to celebrate many more anniversaries, and may each recurring occasion be fittingly celebrated.
