Many people seem to think that if they have anything to insert in a newspaper, if they get it in the office an hour before the paper goes to the press it is soon enough. This is not so. Get your items to the printer as soon as possible. The Women's Christian Temperance Union will give a supper at the residence of Mrs. H. D. Canfield on Thursday, January 4th, for the benefit of the reading room. Supper, 25 cents, will be served from 6 to 8 o'clock. Everybody cordially invited.

S., Harry Headley; Jr. P. C., George Everingham; Trustee, I. S. Champion. The order is in a prosperous condition, and is weekly adding to its membership.

The newly-elected officers were installed Tuesday evening.

Property in Litigation. The suit brought by Mrs. Anna M. Benner against Clarence Taylor for the recovery of the property known as the "Atlantic Villa," corner of Seventh street and Ocean avenue, this place, which she alleges the defendant secured

on false pretenses, came up before Vice Chancellor Pitney in Camden last week.

The evidence showed that two years ago Mrs. Benner signed papers at the request of Mr. Taylor in order to secure a loan of $500. Mrs. Benner claims that it was understood that she was to redeem the property by repaying the loan and that the defendant refused to turn over the property if the loan was repaid. An absolute deed was exhibited in which Mrs. Benner transfers the property unequivocally. She seemed surprised at this, and explained that she had signed only a bill of sale for a mortgage. Testimony placed the value of the property at $3000. Taylor testified that the provisions of the absolute deed were explained to Mrs. Benner and that the value of the property had enhanced because of the improvements he had made. Judge Pitney fixed January 8th for the next hearing. FOR SALE OR LEASE--Ocean front lots; bay front lots; also lots in most desirable locations. GEO. HAYDAY, Atlantic City. Or R. C. Robinson, Sentinel Office. A Serious Conflagration Averted. The cottage of A. B. Thomas, corner Fifteenth street and Asbury avenue, was damaged by fire and water to the extent of about $600 on Friday evening last. The fire was first discovered by two young men who were walking along the boardwalk in that vicinity about 7.45, and soon the general fire alarm was sounded from the electric light station. The fire department lost no time in getting to the scene of conflagration, and by the well directed efforts of the firemen the flames were confined to the back building, where they originated. The damaged dwelling had not been occupied since September 1st. Previous to that time the owner, A. B. Thomas, who resides at 3942 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, and his daughter, Mrs. J. M. Holland, had passed the season there, since which time it has remained closed. The building was insured for $1500, and as soon as the loss is adjusted Mr. Thomas will begin the work of repair. In an interview with Mr. Thomas he expressed his high appreciation of the services rendered by the firemen and citizens who successfully fought the flames and saved the structure from total destruction. As this is the second fire in Ocean City within the past year, both of undoubted incendiary origin, a rigid investigation should be made into the circumstances surrounding the case and every effort made to apprehend the firebug and mete out to him the severest punishment commensurate with the crime, for human life, as well as property, is put in jeopardy by his acts. This was the first time in which the new fire apparatus was called into service, and it demonstrated the fact that to fight fire successfully in Ocean City,

where the buildings are principally of combustible material, more hose, lad-

ders, hooks and chains are imperatively demanded. The firemen were handicapped by the absence of these implements. The city water supply, upon its initial trial, proved equal to the emergency, the pressure being sufficient to carry the stream to the top of the building. The firemen worked heroically, and by their efforts much property was saved, as at one time the whole building seemed doomed. B. Campbell and Maris Moore, while assisting in fighting the flames, were severely cut about the hands with broken glass. Lawyer Edmunds Found Dead. The suspense over the disappearance of Lawyer Herbert W. Edmunds, of Cape May, on the 23d ult. has ended in the discovery of his dead body. Tuesday of last week his body was found on a small bushy island in the Hamilton farm meadows, near Cape May Point. The spot was apparently carefully chosen for the deed which ended what had become a feeble existence. Early on that morning fifty men were out scouring the country for the missing man.

They divided into squads, looking over a large area of country. Some thought of abandoning the search in this direction and look to what Cape May Island Creek might reveal, when Lafayette Miller and Clarence Gallagher came across the body composed as if in a quiet sleep. His hat was drawn down over his eyes, the right hand placed across the breast and one foot resting over the other. An empty druggist's box was found close by. A significant circumstance connected with the death of Edmunds came to light. On the preceding day the unfortunate man bought a postal note of the local office, addressing it to a Philadelphia druggist. Miss Hickey, the clerk, noticed he had trouble in writing the

address on the letter, Mr. Edmunds complaining of the pen. This lead her to recall that it was to go to a store on

Eleventh street, but the number and name she had forgotten. On Saturday, just previous to his disappearance, Edmunds called at the office, received his mail, and, after looking it over, returned

all of it except a package of what was supposed to be some drug, as it bore the business address of the place named on the letter sent the day before.

From the post-office Edmunds passed out of town by the steamboat landing and turnpike, being seen on his way to the open country by James Baily, D. W.

Rascan, Albert Foster and others. This was about 2 o'clock. He is supposed to have gone to the spot where found, took a dose of the morphia received by mail and, lying down, died from its effects and exposure. Mr. Edmunds leaves a wife and two children.

The funeral of Mr. Edmunds took place Thursday last at the Methodist Episcopal Church, at Cape May, of which the deceased was a member.

Rev. D. H. Laverty, D. D, pastor of the Cold Spring Presbyterian Church, and Rev. Mr. Cockins, of Cape May, partici-

pated with Rev. J. B. Haines in the funeral services. The remains were interred in the Cold Spring Cemetery.

Incendiary Fire. Early on Wednesday morning of last week fire was discovered in the stable and outbuildings belonging to Percy R. Townsend, of South Seaville. When assistance arrived the fire had made such headway that all attempts to extinguish it were of no avail. An attempt had also been made to fire the dwelling house. The door had been forced open, some articles in the closet saturated with oil and ignited but for some cause failed to burn. A trail marked by drops of oil was found leading from the door to the closet. The stable and outbuildings were entirely consumed. The premises were unoccupied at the time and no clew to the incendiary has yet been found.

1st, to try and burst up the tobacco works. There may be a shutdown for a week or so, but they will soon be able to run on full time again, with a greater demand for the "weed" than heretofore

--"the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

MAY'S LANDING.

A bear with a fondness for fresh pork has been raiding pig pens in the out-

skirts of Hammonton about twelve miles from this place, and as a conse-

quence sportsmen of the place have or-

ganized hunting parties for the purposes of killing Bruin. The bear has his lair

in the famous Penny Pott swamp, a dense marsh thirty miles long and three miles wide situated several miles

above Weymouth. No one as yet has seen Bruin, although inumerable tracks have been discovered by hunters.

The reports concerning the tracks of the bear were not credited until a few days ago, when a number of farmers living

on the outskirts of the town found their choice hogs lying about the pens dead, having been terribly chewed. On searching around the premises, to the surprise of the farmers the tracks of a bear were found leading in and out of the pens.

The charge against Wilfred S. Calvert, formerly agent of the Atlantic City Railroad, of being $300 short in his ac-

counts, has been withdrawn, as the case has been satisfactorily settled.

LEEDS' POINT. Adam Strickland and wife are both sick with grip. Miss Emma Ward, of Pleasantville, spent a day last week with her sister in this place.

Miss Mary Ward has returned from New York City, where she and her sister, Miss Emma, were spending the holidays.

Captain Harry Higbee and John A. Dutch are home from New York for holidays. Absalom Higbee is at home for a few days.

Christmas exercises at the church were very good. The usual amount of good cheer and gifts were there.

The best Santa Claus that ever visited this section for many a year suddenly

came down upon the children at the

public school on the afternoon of the 29th, and distributed a pack of goodies among the pupils. He filled the bill to perfection. Some of the little folks think he was about the size and form of T. D. Kane.

PORT REPUBLIC. Several couples of our young people attended a large and interesting party held at Lizzie Adams new home at Lower Bank last Thursday evening. Mr. Adams' friends of this place are pleased to hear of his being able to return to his studies at Rutgers, which he was compelled to leave a year ago on account of his mother's illness, which resulted fatally. Miss Middie Collins entertained a large number of her friends from this place on last Thursday evening. The recipients of her hospitality report having enjoyed a pleasant evening.

Captain Charles Blake presented his accomplished wife with a handsome piano for a Christmas present--a tribute to worth and talent. Captain John Huntley presented his stepdaughter, Miss Marette, with a beautiful violin for Christmas.

By an enjoyable effort, Mrs. Mary Fielder had the pleasure of presenting our most devoted and beloved Sundayschool Superintendent, Rev. R. A. Cake, a silver pitcher, goblets and waiter. This indefatigable worker and teacher in our Sunday-school deserves all that can be given him. He is always found at his post, and it is not supposed there is a better managed or more intelligent Sunday-school in Atlantic county. Our unselfish and hard-working minister, Mr. Dare, was also remembered by his flock on Christmas. A barrel of flour found a hearty welcome in the home of our worthy and unfortunate neighbor and friend, Alfred Leeds, on Christmas. There are others who should claim the attention of our more favored and generous citizens. We need not go to Indian or the Malay Islands to find objects of charity. The poor we have always with us. Young Mr. Rose, a student at Dickerson College, is home spending his holiday vacation. This young man is looking forward to the time when he can enter the ministry as an ardent worker in the Lord's vineyard. Our Post-office will be moved the first of the year. It seems to us that President Cleveland's administration is more chary of his favors than President Harrison's was. Scarcely had the "wedding bells" attendant upon the marriage of Guy and Helen Harris been silenced ere they were awakened to ring out the glad tidings of Charley Huntley and Miss Mattie Wilson's nuptials.

ENGLISH CREEK.

A very pretty home wedding took place here on Christmas night at eight o'clock, the contracting parties being Miss Mamie Howell and Henry T. Steelman and Miss Emma E. Howell and John P. Smith. The double ceremony was performed by the father of the brides, Rev. F. A. Howell, in the presence of a number of the intimate friends and relatives of the respective families.

The bridal party entered the parlor to the soft strains of a march from Beethoven, played by Miss Estella Burr, of Silverton. Miss Carrie Smith and Miss Laura Channell acted as bridesmaids, and Mark Randolph and J. S. Channell as groomsmen. After the ceremony the happy couples received the congratulations of all present, and then the company proceeded to the dining-room, where a veritable Christmas dinner was served. The table was very beautifully arranged, and all did full justice to the viands spread before them. The remainder of the evening was spent in music and conversation. The elder of the sisters, Miss Mamie, was attired in steel faille silk and pink chiffon lace, and wore rosebuds and pinks. Miss Emma's dress was of light silk and white chiffon lace, and she wore pink roses. The wedding presents, which were numerous, comprised articles both useful and ornamental. Owing to the illness of the brides' mother, the wedding trip was postponed.

Henry Somers and wife entertained a Christmas party during the holidays.

The new houses on Grand street are receiving a coat of paint. Lewis Jeffries and wife, of May's Landing, spent Christmas day with his father. Jesse Barrett cut his foot with an axe last week while chopping wood. Captain W. C. Sooy has gone to take up his above in his new house at Somers Point. We dislike to see him leave our village. Captain David Robinson is home with a broken wrist. Mrs. Sarah Scull has gone to Atlantic City to spend the winter with her daughter. Wesley Scull is improving from the grip. Judge Scull is quite ill. Somers Steelman is building a new barn. Somers S. Albertson and Captain C. Booye have gone South. PLEASANTVILLE. Major Lewis, of the G. A. R., told the story of his recent conversion from infidelity at the Presbyterian Church last Wednesday evening--a pitiful story of fifty years of darkness, bereavement and despair which touched and moved every one in the audience, and brought others to the feet of the Savior this grayhaired veteran had so lately found.

Quite a number of Atlantic City resi-

dents assembled at the handsome resi-

dence of Lewis M. Conover, the leading coal dealer of this place, on New Year's day. Various subjects were discussed

until about 12.30 p. m., when all present were ushered into the spacious dining-

room, where a prettily decorated table laden down with many of the delicacies of the season awaited them, and with-

out a doubt the inner man was thoroughly provided for. Those who composed the merry party were Mr. and

Mrs. Joseph Conover, Sr., Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Conover, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Somers T. Woolbert, Lawyer and Mrs. C. L. Cole, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis M. Con-

over, the Misses Cole, Katie Frazier, Louella Conover, Henrietta Conover, Masters Orwell Conover and Clarence Cole, Jr., Roy Woolbert and A. Berdell Conover.

The many friends of Alton Angelow tendered him a surprise party last week at the residence of George W. Adams.

John Jeffries, of Atlantic City, and Curt Long, of Absecon, while speeding their horses ran together, breaking a

wheel off Mr. Jeffries' sulky, throwing him out and dragging him some distance.

A Card of Thanks.

Owing to the promptness with which the members of Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company, No. 1, responded to the alarm of fire on Friday evening last,

and the fearlessness displayed on that occasion in fighting the destructive element, I cannot refrain from extend-

ing to them, and also to the citizens who so willingly and ably seconded their every effort and assisted in rescuing from destruction much valuable property, my heartiest thanks and commen-

dation. HARRY REINHART, Foreman of Fire Company.
