MAYS LANDING.

William Culvert, who has confessed the embezzling of several hundred dol-

lars from the Reading Railroad Company, was lodged in jail at this place Saturday.

Early Thursday morning burglars en-

tered the offices of the County Clerk and Surrogate in the court house, broke

into the American Hotel and attempted to rob the residence of Sheriff Lacy. In

the county offices they stole fifteen to twenty dollars in cash and various

articles of value, though in their haste they overlooked $1000 worth of govern-

ment bonds in the County Clerk's office. At the hotel they took their fill of wine and whiskey and all the loose change in the till. A dog at the residence of Sheriff Lacy frightened them away by his barking. They stole a West Jersey Railroad hand car and pushed it along the track about five miles in the direction of Philadelphia, where they abandoned it.

Jennie Steelman, seventeen years old, of Baltic and South Caroline avenues, attempted suicide last week by drink-

ing a large dose of laudanum. For the past three weeks she has been despondent on account of ill health, and has frequently remarked that "life was a burden to her." Medical aid was promptly summoned and her life was saved. She is a daughter of Nicholas Steelman, of Steelmanville. The Fishing smack of R. H. McCrystal, of Absecon, was wrecked on the Absecon bar Friday afternoon, and her captain, Daniel Showell, and Mate William Clifford had a narrow escape from drowning. She was returning from a fishing trip, and had aboard about 500 pounds of sea bass when she was driven on the bar and capsized. The two men luckily succeeded in gaining a hold of the overturned boat, and they were almost unconscious when Captain Bowen and a crew of men from the government live-saving station rescued them. The boat was washed ashore later in the evening.

PORT REPUBLIC.

Miss Lizzie Haines and Charles Johnson were guests of Miss Frambes on Sunday.

The jolly face of Mrs. Olive Bowen, the young and happy wife of our re-

spected townsman, Capt. Harry Bowen, is seen among us again, brightening the life of all upon whom she smiles. How much easier to go through life casting sunshine instead of shadows. If all could but understand the secret. The cozy home of Thomas Turner is nearly ready for occupancy. Capt. Uzz Endicott has commenced making quite extensive and important improvements to his already creditably kept property. Why cannot people see and appreciate how much to their advantage it would be to keep their whole property neat and trim.

The Leek Brothers have commenced a long-needed business in this place, viz: a market for meals, vegetables and

fruit. If they can manage to be patient till the community knows that they will serve it through next hot Summer their success will be assured.

A very unpretentious but useful character is seen every week wheeling his notion cart along our streets, taking

to our doors many useful articles. I often think how many far more fortunate (in personal appearance) men than he, have been far less successful, and are far less worthy of being called men than this truly admirable character,

Josiah York. He has supported an aged and blind mother for years, and has been truly generous with those who should help him. How little such worthy people are appreciated, to all outward appearances, but their crown is certain.

It seems that the future of our post-office remains uncertain. Every few days a new applicant is talked of.

Miss Marette Frambes is making a flying visit at home. Judging from her

appearance her studies are not affecting her health as unfavorably as they did last year. We hope she will be more fortunate this year.

Young Captain Will Blake makes frequent trips to Port. Hoep, his wife, will remain here, so that we will con-

tinue to see him.

Miss Alice French, of Port Republic, is a frequent visitor.

Randolph Adams is convalescing from a serious illness. Job Gifford and wife, of this place, attended the autumnal services at Palestine Church, English Creek, on Sunday evening. The church was nicely trimmed for the occasion and the exercises were good. Ezra Johnson is on the sick list. Vincent Lake and wife are entertaining Mrs. Curl and son, of Haddonfield. Mrs. Scull is staying here with friends while Mr. and Mrs. Edge are at the World's Fair. Vincent F. Lake has made a trip among the big paper mills of the Eastern States.

Mrs. Albert Lake is somewhat in-

disposed.

The Helping Hand Society of the Baptist Church gave a social on Tues-

day evening.

The gospel meeting on Saturday even-

ing was largely attended. It will be held again next Saturday evening at the same time and place. The subject will be: "What Christ will do for me."

October 6th being the birthday of Miss Laura L. Lake, the young people of

Bakersville, Linwood and Pleasantville gave her a surprise party on that occa-

sion. Among those present were Fred Burroughs, Will Risley, Lewis Block, Sara Sooy, Henry Price, Willard Burroughs, Harry Campbell, Mark English, Doughty Turner, Thompson Bolee, Frank Lake, Archie Willett, Parker Harris, Spencer Price, Clark Robinson, Gussie Sooy, Mina Clark, Carrie Allen, Bertha Ireland, Anna Bates, Rebecca Cullins, Katie Price, Tillie Bates, Eva Burroughs, Maggie Boice, Laura Lake,

CAPE MAY CITY.

City Council has granted six winter saloon licenses, thereby greatly agitat-

ing the temperance people of the com-

munity.

Miss Knox, a guest of Mrs. M. Battis, was shooting with a rifle at a target Friday evening when a stray shot acci-

dentally struck a horse attached to the express wagon of Wilkins Bros. The ball went across the square separating Washington street from Lafayette and struck the horse on the latter avenue. The animal died.

The section of the Beach Drive washed away three years ago, and known as the "missing link," is to be rebuilt.

Council has appointed a committee to look after the matter and to give the contract to the lowest responsible bidder.

The sea serpent having failed to appear last summer a thrilling tale is now told by Daniel Horn and Cornelius Trusty, Cape May county fishermen.

While fishing a few days ago in Lower Thoroughfare, near Cold Spring Inlet, the two men were badly scared while

hauling in their net by a great roaring and splashing in the water. Suddenly a monster of the sea leaped high in the

air and as the strange animal fell back into the waves the fishermen were splashed with spray. Before Horn and

Trusty could recover from their fright and surprise the monster made another leap and disappeared up the sound with a terrifying bellow, leaving a phosphor-

escent trail in its wake. The general impression is that the strange animal seen by the fishermen was a monster sea lion.

W. C. T. U. STATE CONVENTION. Every County of the State Repre-sented--The Reports of State Superintendents Most Flattering.

The twentieth annual convention of the Women's Christian Temperance

Union of New Jersey was held in the Broadway M. E. Church, Camden, October 3d, 4th, 5th and 6th, with two hundred and forty-four delegates in attendance, every county in the State being represented.

The first session, Tuesday evening, was addressed, after the addresses of welcome and response, by Miss Henri-

etta Moore, of Ohio. Subject, "Courage versus Cowardice."

The annual report of the treasurer, Mrs. E. A. Mickle, was next given.

A Bible reading given by Mrs. A. E. Bennet was strong and helpful, her foundation text being, "I have learned in whatsoever state I am therein to be content."

During the Convention reports were read by twenty-two State Superinten-

dents, showing the progress of the work done in the following departments:

Soldiers, Sailors, Foreigners, Heredity, Flower Mission, Literature, State and

County Fairs, Physical Culture, Young Women's Work, Evangelistic, Scien-

tific, Temperance Instruction Sunday-schools, Press, Social Purity, Narcotics,

Sabbath Observance, Parlor Meetings, Prisons and Alms Houses, Temple Fund, Kitchen Garden, Franchise and Demorest Medal Contest.

Wednesday evening the Loyal Tem-

perance Legion, of Camden, visited the Convention in a body.

The evening speaker was Miss Clara Parrish, of Illinois, one of the ablest of

our National Organizers. Her lecture was enthusiastically received by the audience. The chief feature of the Thursday morning session was the election of officers by ballot. Mrs. Emma Bourne, Newark, president; Mrs. J. T. Ellis, Newark, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Isabella Demarest, Closter, recording secretary; Mrs. N. L. Caminade, Trenton, treasurer.

In the afternoon the Memorial Service was led by Mrs. J. T. Ellis.

Two minute reports from county presidents was an interesting feature of the afternoon programme. Thursday evening the Convention met in the First Presbyterian Church, corner Fifth and Penn streets, Mrs. Demarest presiding. After the devotional exercises and beautiful music by the choir, the report of Mrs. R. W. Barber, State Superintendent of Prisons and Alms Houses, was listened to, after which Mrs. J. K. Barney, of Providence, R. I., Superintendent of Prison Department of World's W. C. T. U., was introduced and held the attention of the large audience for one hour with one of her grand practical temperance talks. Friday morning the Constitution and Resolution Committees reported, and a heart-stirring address on the need of police matrons for New Jersey was given by Mrs. Barney. Unfinished business was referred to the Executive Committee, and Mrs. Barney voiced the noontide prayer, after which the president, Mrs. Bourne, declared the twentieth annual Convention of the New Jersey W. C. T. U. adjourned. The Broadway M. E. Church was beautifully decorated with flowers, flags, mottos and banners, and all delegates were hospitably received and entertained by the Camden Union.
