Adjourned Meeting of Council.

An adjourned session of Council was held Friday evening, with all the members present.

The Mayor reported that he had at-

tended to the note in the Vineland Bank by paying $1000 and giving new note for $1000. A bill of G. P. Moore for $68.36 was ordered paid.

The ordinance authorizing the dispo-

sal of the Asbury avenue lots, owned by the borough, was taken up for final reading. It passed unanimously.

The New Years' Greeting.

The Methodists of Ocean City, following the time-honored custom of heralding the New Year, held watch meeting service in the First M. E. Church on

Sunday evening. There was a fairly good attendance, and those who turned out to take part in the exercises were more than repaid by the sermon delivered by the pastor, Rev. W. A. Massey, whose discourse was pronounced a master effort. The hours from 10 to 12 were given to a service of song and prayer, and as the hands of the clock approached the boundary line between the old and the

new, amid the impressive silence that pervades these meetings, the bell in the church tower pealed forth the announce-

ment of the birth of 1894. While the bell was heralding the news of the birth of another year, several of our citizens were welcoming its advent with salvos of musketry, and for awhile the air was resonant with harbingers of the death of the old and the birth of the new year. Welcome, 1894. Originally the Methodists and Moravians were the only two denominations that held such special services, but now a number of other denominations have come to observe this custom. In the country Moravians hold watch services in the church until the midnight hour.

Then they form in line and proceed to the cemeteries, where dirges are played with trombones and the people of the

faith sing mournfully and pray. Sometimes the cemeteries are lighted up by lanterns, which make the service very odd and interesting.

Gold in Jersey Sand.

Two big real estate deals have just been completed at Atlantic City which prove that, figuratively speaking, the richest gold mines in the world have been found right in that little strip of sea-washed land by a few far-seeing people, who several years ago bought what appeared to be worthless sand

heaps for a mere trifle, and to-day dis-

posed of them at such fabulous prices that it might readily be conjured that the grains of sand had, by some chemical or magical process, been turned into grains of gold. The largest transaction of the two was that made by Messrs. Reilly & McManus, Philadelphia contractors, who have purchased the St. Charles lot, reaching from the beach up Delaware avenue almost to Pacific. The property belonged to the estate of the late Jonah Wootton, Sr., and had been lying unimproved for many years. There was

but little disposition on the part of the Wootton heirs to part with this family inheritance, and the tempting sum $115,-

000 was finally offered before they agreed to sell. The new owners of the ground will reserve a large tract on the ocean front for a mammoth modern hotel and will divide the remaining portion into building lots. The other big real estate deal was the sale of Silas Morse's valuable beach front property at the foot of South Carolina avenue to a syndicate, the figureheads in which are a number of well known residents. There is a frontage of 105 feet on the boardwalk, including the establishments of J. R. Richards,

Mrs. J. W. Smith, Harry Barker and Dr. Beary. The price paid by the syn-

dicate is said to be $68,000. Mr. Morse's entire interest at this corner had an approximate value of more than $100,000, yet he originally paid but $6000 for the entire tract. This shows a gain of $94,000 in less than twelve years. The new owners propose to erect a big "merry-go-round," a lofty toboggan slide of many "circuits," and an observation wheel of great height. It is said the leases of the present occupants of the property expire to-morrow

and that work will be commenced at once on the improvements.

A new series of shares will be issued by the Building and Loan Association at their next meeting, provided fifty shares are subscribed. Shares can be secured by addressing G. P. Moore, President; Wm. Lake, Secretary, or R. Howard Thorn, Treasurer. 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. I am prepared to furnish a first-class red brick guaranteed to withstand the frost or climatic changes, which has no superior in the market at the present time for use in paving. Not only are they a superior article, but the cost is much less than those of other brands now in use in our town. YOUNGS CORSON.

CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents. CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE. Sheriff Hand took Uriah Mason and Lewis Rhodes, who had been sentenced to State Prison at the late term of Court, to that institution on Thursday. AVALON. On Saturday night the summer residence of George Rummel and Mrs. Wells, Philadelphians, were burned to the ground. Rummel, who came down that evening, started a fire in his heater, and, leaving it, went to the Avalon Hotel. On returning in a few hours he found his cottage in flames. The fire spread to the adjoining house, totally destroying both. The loss is about $10,000, which is covered by insurance. CAPE MAY CITY. Superintendent W.

The South Jersey Railroad Company has a corps of surveyors here marking out an entrance into the city and a site for a depot.

TUCKAHOE.

A grand wedding took place here on Wednesday of last week at 1 o'clock. The contracting parties were Daniel Steelman, of Philadelphia, and Miss May Wheaton, daughter of Captain P. M. Wheaton. The father's gift to the bride was a check for $10,000. They received many handsome presents from their friends. They started on an extended wedding tour. Rev. Mr. Hann officiated. Edward Hammell & Son sold their store to William P. Flanagan. Richard Sheppard and wife are visiting in Bridgeton.

OCEAN VIEW.

Miss Esther VanGilder spent Christmas with relatives in the Quaker City. Miss Hannah Coleman is spending a season with relatives and friends in Philadelphia and Westville. During the recent cold weather Miss Millie Townsend slipped and fell on the ice, which resulted in a sprained wrist and other painful injuries. A fine team of mules arrived here from Philadelphia on Monday and will be used on the canning farm. Sunday was quarterly meeting day in the Methodist Church, there being preaching in the morning and afternoon by the pastor, Rev. J. S. Moore, and in the evening there was a union of the Epworth Leagues of this charge. Mrs. Ada Hess had charge of the service, and several interesting remarks were made by the different representatives. A farmers' club has been organized here with the following officers: President, Homer Eddy; secretary, T. E. VanGilder; treasurer, E. S. Stowe. The club will meet at the school house each Monday evening, and the subject for discussion will be chosen at the previous meeting. In consequence of a new school house being built at South Seaville, the attendance of our school has been gradually reduced with the beginning of this year, and now that the holidays are over the scholars have again settled down to their studies. The Christmas entertainment given in the Baptist Church on Thursday evening was composed of a cantata and was elegantly carried out by those who took part, and highly appreciated by all that attended. The treat was composed of a box of candy and an orange for each scholar of the Sunday-school, and an apple for each person in the congregation, and other fine presents were pre-

sented at that time. The church was filled to its utmost capacity. Every one felt that they were amply repaid for attending.

The Brigantine election case was called, but went over until April because of the absence, by reason of sickness, of the plaintiff, Alonzo M. Smith and Hezekiah Leeds, as star witness. Mr. Baake was granted non-suits in the cases of Evan Jeffries vs. Samuel R. Scull and William Babcock vs. Samuel R. Scull. Mr. Cole represented the appellee in the two cases. The cases of Booye s. Colloty was continued until January 5th, to allow the defendant time to enter additional evidence.

Charles, alias Pasqual Noce, was sen-

tenced to three months' imprisonment in the County Jail for stealing a single chicken at Buena Vista. Samuel Johnson, a colored man, who stole an $8.80 overcoat, belonging to Edward Wiltbank, from the St. Charles footbal grounds last week, was ordered to serve

a like period in Sheriff Johnson's hotel.

The Court forfeited the $1000 bail bond of Walter Lee, who, with Harry Murray, is accused of stealing a $300 diamond pin from a passenger on a train at Egg Harbor City. Lee failed to appear for trial, having missed the train from Camden. The case goes over to the April term. Murray is in jail. Frank Cope's application to keep an inn or tavern at Pleasantville was refused on the ground that he was not a resident. There was much opposition to the granting of the license. In the Orphans' Court partial accounts were passed in the estates of William Paul and Daniel W. Chandler. An order was issued to show cause why the lands in the estate of Nicholas V. Young should not be sold, and a decree was granted by the Court, confirming the sale of lands in the estate of John Stiles, deceased. The contested Showell will case will be tried in Atlantic City on January 5th, and a special term of the Orphans' Court will be held at May's Landing on March 5th.

Men's Overcoats. "Here, this is a mistake; it's a $10 cost and you've a $6 tag on it." He was an experienced Clothing man; knew goods, knew styles, knew values. He knew that Overcoats precisely like it were cheap at $10; he knew that exactly the same sort had been widely advertised as a howling bargain at $10. But 'twas no mistake. Six dollars is the price. All-wool black Cheviot, fast color, satin sleeve lining, strong farmer's satin body lining. Take them round the world in any weather and they'd come back bright in dye as when they started.

Think full double-bed size fast back Marseilles Bed Spreads in new patterns at $2.

ARE YOU GOING TO BUILD?

If so, we should sell you the Lumber and Mill Work. Why? Because our increased facilities enable us to offer greater in-

ducements to you. Look at them:

First, By our location, adjoining the Reading Terminal, with a track in our yard, we save in carting both ways to the cars, and can give a better oversight to shipments not leaving our control.

Second, Having a large wharf on the Delaware River, we can load vessels for our customers without charge for wharfage, etc., and can enjoy the advantage of water freights, which are much lower than railroad freights.

Third, We carry a large stock of LUMBER well assorted to meet the wants of the trade, and a full line of Mill Work in regular sizes constantly on hand.

Fourth, We manufacture all kinds of odd and fancy work, and estimate direct from architects' plans for any kind of hard wood work and interior finish. We manufacture Packing Boxes, Berry Chests, Signs, etc., at short notice.

Fifth, Business experience. For twenty-eight years we have been in business at this location and every year have been compelled to improve and enlarge our plant until now we stand at the head of our line of business. We

offer you the benefit of our experience, freely. We charge you only for the material you buy.
