LOCAL NEWS. Painters are busy in various parts of the city.

sion to-morrow evening. George O. Adams will make additions to one of his West avenue cottages. Mrs. A. E. Cox is spending a season with relatives in Bordentown and Trenton. R. B. Stites has sold a lot on West avenue, near Eleventh street, to George O. Adams. Hon. E. L. Ross, Republican nominee for Assembly, was in this city on Wednesday last. Frank Borden, of Philadelphia, spent last week in this city and greatly enjoyed the fishing. Miss Annie Reaney, of Jersey City, is visiting her grandmother, Mrs. A. W. Reaney, in this city. L. S. Smith has sold a lot on Asbury avenue, between Third and Fourth streets, to D. S. Sampson. Misses Emma Corson and Alice W. Canfield left this city on Saturday for a visit to the World's Fair. H. B. Adams is about to begin the erection of a cottage on Central avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets. Y. Corson has sold Wm. G. Fischer's Central avenue lot, between Ninth and Tenth streets, to Mrs. Marietta Adams. William Wilson, of Millville, has commenced the erection of a cottage at Fourteenth street and Central avenue. George A. Bourgeois & Son have commenced the erection of a cottage on West avenue, below Eleventh street, for R. B. Stites. Joseph F. Hand has received the contract for building a cottage on Central avenue, south of Ninth street, for Mrs. Marietta Adams, of Pleasantville. Mrs. Bouden, of Philadelphia, has purchased a lot at Thirteenth street and Asbury avenue, upon which she intends to erect a handsome cottage in the near future.

Contractor Scull has moved a cottage from Central avenue, between Eighth and Ninth streets, to a site on West avenue, near Eleventh street, for George O. Adams.

John Brower has been applying the paint brush to the fence around Baker Schuff's premises, corner Seventh and Asbury, which adds greatly to the appearance of the place. The Board of Registry and Election will sit again next Tuesday. If you are not already registered, see that your name gets on the list next Tuesday; otherwise, you cannot vote. R. W. Edwards has awarded A. D. Scull the contract for raising the Aldine to an elevation of about six feet, after which this popular house will be enlarged and otherwise improved.

Robert Fisher has sold to Enoch Burley, of Conshohocken, Pa., two lots on Central avenue, near Twelfth street. Mr. Burley will shortly begin the erection of three cottages on the lots.

Rev. S. W. Lake, President of the Ocean City Association, who has been seriously ill for some weeks at his home in Bridgeton, is rapidly regaining his wonted health, so much so as to be able to spend last Wednesday and Thursday in this city.

Rev. W. A. Massey will preach a special sermon to the Jr. O. U. A. M. in the first M. E. Church on Sunday evening next. This sermon was to have been delivered last Sunday evening, but owing to the inclemency of the weather was postponed. The Mechanics will attend the service in a body. The owners of property at the north point of beach seem to take much pride in their possessions, for beside the improvements recently noted we notice that T. W. Brown, of Atlantic City, has had the undergrowth removed from his lot on Asbury avenue, near First street, and has commenced grading and filling up the same. This section of the island is evidently destined to become the residential quarter for many years. It is a healthy sign when property owners manifest so much interest in the appearance of their real estate.

Mrs. Elizabeth Rapp, Central avenue, near First street, who has been on an

extended trip through the West, visit-

ing the World's Fair and the scenes of

her younger days, has returned home and spent a few days in this city previous to taking up her winter quarters in Philadelphia. Mrs. Rapp talks entertainingly of the wondrous sights witnessed by her while at the fair. The time devoted by the lady to the Exposition was well improved by the storing up of a vast fund of useful information, which she has the happy faculty of imparting to her friends in an interesting manner.

OCEANVILLE.

Mrs. Martha Devlin is very low at this writing. Daniel H. Conover is slowly improving. J. V. Conover attended the conference at Bridgeton as a delegate from the Centreville M. P. Church. G. W. Shafstall, station agent at this place, moved his family here from Girardville, Pa. Joel S. Conover has left on a voyage in the four-masted schooner William Johnson, owned by Captain Peter B. Reed.

She was also a social factor in our midst. She has gone to visit her brother, Dr. Morris Ashley, at Middletown, N. Y., who performs an important and honorable mission, that of resident physician in the Middletown Insane Asylum. He is one of earth's honored ones, a self-made man. The "Autumn Picnic" at Excelsior Hall on Saturday evening was not so largely attended as it would have been had the weather been more favorable. Our community, although not enjoying a personal acquaintance with Professor Deremer, greatly regret that he must leave his cherished field of labor--that of instructing the youth--so soon. We need such men so much. There is plenty room for more like him.

We notice the familiar face of Lizzie Leach among us once more.

The revival meetings, which are now discontinued, were attended with great success, many professing to have found the better way. The converts have the prayers of the faithful, that they may continue always in the "straight and narrow way." Captain Joel Rose, whom we love to have with us, has left again for business on the Hudson. He, with other Captains, report dull times.

Captain W. L. Blake is a most de-

voted husband and father. He makes but few trips that he does not visit his family twice while loading and unloading. PLEASANTVILLE. L. M. Conover, of Amesberry, Mass., and friend Miss C. M. Blaisdell, of the same place, have been spending ten days here visiting friends. They left on Monday. The Presbyterian Sunday-school from Atlantic City held their picnic in Red Men's Hall on Saturday. They started for Bakersville, but the storm coming on they sought shelter in the hall at this place. They numbered about one hundred.

Clement Ireland and family, of Atlan-

tic City, spent Sunday with Lemuel Conover. Mrs. Mary A. Ingersoll and son and Isaac Risley and wife came home from the World's Fair Saturday evening. They report having had a good time. Mrs. H. McGann's store window looks inviting with its display of fruits and candies. Frederick Boice and his sister Willie have returned from the fair. They are delighted with their visit. Fred Lean and wife, of Philadelphia, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Househaulter. John Burroughs, Peter B. Peterson and Wilbert Adams spent Sunday with Albert Channells. Mrs. John Farrell moved from Mrs. J. T. Weaver's farm to New York on Tuesday. Rev. J. L. Watson has been sent as pastor of Mt. Pleasant Church for the ensuing year by the Conference which made its appointments on Monday. STEELMANVILLE. Miss Katie Lawrence and Miss Maud McDowell, two young ladies living at Steelmanville, but not members of either Church, had an entertainment in Smith's Hall some two or three weeks ago, assisted by all the young people of both Churches. It was a grand success, both financially and otherwise, and reflected much credit on all who participated. The proceeds netted $28, which the ladies divided equally between the two Churches. They presented Bethel M. E. Church with eighteen church hymnals and twelve very fine library books, and Friendship M. P. Church with five very fine chairs, a pulpit cushion, glass pitcher and glasses. Friendship Church, in this place, had a very nice autumn service on Sunday, 15th inst. The children did credit to themselves on the occasion. On Wednesday night of last week there was an oyster supper held at the house of Evan Jeffries for the benefit of Friendship M. P. Church. Walter Jeffries buried a babe one day last week. Nicholas J. Steelman has a very sick child, with little hope of recovery. John Booye and wife, of New York, are visiting relatives in this place.

Captain James B. Steelman and wife and Charles H. Smith and wife returned home last week from the World's Fair.

Captain Henry Steelman departed Monday, 16th inst., for a trip to the World's Fair.

Harry Conover has a new horse. He talks of building a barn.

Fred and Miss Willianna Boice have returned from the World's Fair. They report a grand time. Alfred Conover has a large contract for the filling in of land in Atlantic City. He will move there in a few days. Our school teachers are giving good satisfaction. Pitney and Enoch Blackman started for the South this week. They will be gone for the Winter. Enoch has taken up his residence there.

Captain D. S. Tilton spent Sunday at his home.

Harry Mickle and wife spent Sunday away from home among friends. William S. Doughty, quite extensively known here, was married in Haddonfield on October 11th to a Miss Cooper, of that town. He now resides there. ENGLISH CREEK. The wedding bells are ringing out merrily. On Monday evening, October 16th, at the M. E. Parsonage, by Rev. F. A. Howell, Clarence P. Haywood, of Atlantic City, was married to Miss Lizzie Scull, of English Creek, and on Tuesday evening, October 17th, at the home of the bride, by Rev. F. A. Howell, Isaac Lee, of Ocean City, to Mrs. Alice Albertson, of English Creek. Rumor has it there are still others contemplating matrimony.

Dr. Sherman DeMills has moved into his house near Somers Steelman's, where his family will reside. The doctor contemplates a trip to the South this winter where he hopes to regain his former health. Rev. F. A. Howell made a friendly call on the doctor before he started on his journey, as he is a brother Odd Fellow.

Mrs. Lizzie Howell, our pastor's wife, is still quite sick, and has been com-

pelled to stay day and night in an in-

valid's chair for the past ten weeks. She is a great sufferer. Mr. Wolbert has beautified his dwelling by a handsome coat of paint.

Lewis Shaw died very suddenly on Wednesday morning. Interment took place at Asbury, Rev. F. A. Howell officiating at the funeral.

Isaac Lee will return to his home in Ocean City in a few days with his bride.

Joseph English and his son Jesse made their pastor a present of two bar-

rels of sweet potatoes, and Constant Smith, our tax collector, gave him four bushels of white potatoes. It is pleasant to be so kindly remembered.

George S. Winner is on the sick list. Mr. Haywood and wife will commence housekeeping soon in Philadelphia.

OCTOBER WEDDINGS. Cupid Holds High Carnival--Some of His Numerous Victims.

SMITH-CONVER. One of the most fashionable weddings that has taken place in this city for some time was solemnized by the Rev. W. A. Massey, of the First M. E. Church, at the residence of the bride's parents, West avenue, between Fourth and Fifth streets, on Thursday evening last, when Herbert C. Smith, of Seaville, was married to Miss Mamie E. Conver, daughter of ex-Councilman Conver.

As the organ pealed forth the delight-

ful strains of the wedding march under the masterly touch of Miss Ella Cronin, a sister of the bride, the bride and groom, attended by Miss Laura Troxell, bridesmaid, and John Adams, groomsman, both the latter of Easton, Pa., entered the parlor and took up their positions beneath a beautiful arch of evergreens and flowers erected for the occasion.

Amid the deep silence that prevailed as Rev. Massey commenced the impres-

sive marriage ceremony of the Metho-

dist Episcopal Church could be distinctly heard the voices of the happy couple as they repeated the vows that made them man and wife. After congratulations and well wishes for their future life, Mr. and Mrs. Smith led the way to the dining room, where upon a tastily decorated table was spread an elaborate lunch. After partaking of the repast and enjoying a season of animated conversation the company dispersed, the bride and groom going to their future home on Asbury avenue, which they had cosily fitted up in anticipation of this happy event.

The bride was dressed in cream-white cashmere, trimmed with heavy white lace, and carried in her hand a bouquet

of handsome white roses, while the groom wore conventional black, relieved

by a white necktie. They presented a happy picture as they stood beneath the wedding arch.

There were over seventy guests in attendance, representing Easton and Phil-

adelphia, Pa., Ocean City and Atlantic county. The presents were numerous and handsome. Among the gifts was a beautiful crayon portrait of the bride, which is a work of high art.

The young couple have our best wishes for their future.

The W. A. Manahan Band serenaded Mr. and Mrs. Smith Saturday evening.

SCHERMERHORN-CARSON.

The Tabernacle Methodist Episcopal Church, Camden, was crowded Thursday night to witness the marriage of Winfield S. Schermerhorn, president

of the Camden Telegram Publishing Company, to Miss Mary Carson, daugh-

ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Carson. The officiating clergyman was the Rev. W. P. Davis, D. D., pastor of the church, assisted by the Rev. Edwin E. Hewitt, of the Broadway Methodist Episcopal Church.

The maid of honor was Miss Jean Carson, a sister of the bride; the brides-

maid was Miss Carrie Abrahams, of Baltimore, and the best man, Adelbert Carson. The ushers were Harrison H. Voorhees, E. G. C. Bleakley, Richard Develin, William H. Carson and Edwin H. Carson, of Camden, and J. A. Shoneman, of Philadelphia. After the ceremony the newly-wedded couple held a reception.

MASLAND-LAKE. A delightful home wedding was cele-

nrated on Wednesday at noon, October 11th, at the home of the bride's parents, Rev. and Mrs. James E. Lake, 808 Broadway, Camden, the contracting parties being Miss Lizzie Hedges Lake and Charles W. Masland.

The bride's father performed the cere-

mony, assisted by the bride's uncle, Rev. E. B. Lake, and also by the Pre-

siding Elder, Rev. D. B. Harris. Dr. H. C. Masland, a brother of the groom, was groomsman and Miss E. Ada Lake, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid. About fifty relatives and friends from Philadelphia, Trenton, Camden, Bridgeton, Ocean City, Atlantic Highlands, Bordentown and other places were present. The presents were many and handsome. The occasion was one of delight and good cheer. The newly-wedded couple are well known in this city, each being annual summer residents.

An Engine Disabled.

Last Wednesday afternoon as engine 505, of the train leaving Atlantic City at 3 o'clock, on the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, was nearing Pomona Station the right eccentric bar and strap broke entirely off and punctured a large hole in the boiler, also tearing away a part of the cab and fire box. Engineer Charles Glendenning immediately on hearing the snap threw on the air brake and stopped the train. He remained at his post until the fire, which was left in the broken box, was drawn and danger was all over.

The passengers were considerably frightened by the shaking up they ex-

perienced, but on seeing the engineer in the cab alive, amid a cloud of steam and smoke escaping from the broken boiler, felt reassured and returned to the cars. Conductor William Butler telegraphed to Atlantic for an extra engine, which arrived in about an hour and took the belated train safely into Camden.

Refuse to Support Baake.

The Republican papers of Atlantic county, published last Saturday, all came out bitterly opposing Charles A. Baake, Esq., their party's convention nominee for Assembly. Several papers refuse to place his name at the head of the ticket, and others do not mention his name at all. His vote in favor of the race track bills is the cause of the opposition.

rations in South Jersey at B. R. Smith's, Sixth and Asbury, at Philada. prices.

An Atlantic County Suicide. Henry D. Smith, aged 75 years, who built, in 1857, the first hotel on Brigantine beach committed suicide Saturday afternoon by jumping from the boat landing into the bay after having first tied two hatchets to his feet and fastened an old strap around his neck. The sui-

cide was mentally unsound, and his queer actions in preparation for the fatal plunge did not attract the atten-

tion of any member of the household. His son Alfred, who now runs the hotel, was near by when the old man jumped, the splash attracting his attention. He ran to the end of the pier, but the sui-

cide had disappeared. The body was recovered Sunday afternoon.

Unaccountable Disappearance.

About 1 o'clock Saturday morning thieves entered the barn of Simeon Frie, May's Landing, and stole a horse, wagon and clothing valued at $200. The team and contents were owned by Henry Schwenker, an old and respected ped-

dler of clothing notions for over forty years. The horse and wagon were found in the woods about a quarter of a mile away. The horse was tied to a tree and the wagon upset and the contents gone.

Tracks of two other wagons were found near the spot and a large posse of men started in pursuit of the thieves, but no arrests have been made.

On Seeing Grace B---- in Death. Pass on, sweet spirit, Stay not here, Where sin corrodes and scars; Heaven is thy guerdon--drop no tear, Rest waits thee, 'mid the stars. The long white beach, the sobbing tide,

The sea gull's plaintive moan, Each speaks thy severance from our side--Thy bier, with flowers strewn. Yet stay not, with thy stately mien, Lend other climes thy grace, Love counts its task, sweet and serene, Thy fair young life to trace. Sabbath afternoon, Oct. 1, 1893. J. R. K.
