About $3500 had been advanced by Mr. Taylor. BRICK! BRICK!!

Joseph Hand and A. C. Gile are talked of as candidates for Council at the election next month.

The Democrats are talking of nominating Albert B. Little for City Treas-

urer.

GREEN CREEK. Pastor Smith has aroused a spirit of resentment among the membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church by an outspoken sermon to his people on the subject of tattling and morals of the place generally. His allusions have

been so pointed as to cause some of his members to declare they will not attend preaching service again till there is a change in the pulpit. Last Sunday evening so offensive were his remarks that a number of his flock left the sanctuary while he was preaching. Pastor Smith was sent to Greek Creek a few months ago from Camden to succeed the Rev. Daniel Lyon, transferred by Presiding Elder Wight to Leesburg.

ter are visiting her parents at Delmont.

tity of wood to Camden.

The Farmers Club have changed their place of meeting from the school build-

ing to the store house owned by R. M. Townsend. Mrs. WIlliam Coombs and daughter Lida, have gone to Mobile, Ala., by rail, where they will meet Captain Coombs with the schooner Marion from Millville and from there they will take a trip to Cuba. Since our last writing death has visited this place and taken from our midst one of the oldest residents. On Tuesday evening, January 23rd, Miles Young was seized with a stroke of paralysis and remained in an unconscious condition until the following Friday night when death came very peacefully. The funeral services and interment took place at the Asbury Church on Tuesday afternoon of last week. The deceased was in the 84th year of his age, and was

a member of the Methodist Church over 60 years, filling the office of class leader during several years of that time.

Death of Mrs. Emeline Cox. The paralytic stroke from which Mrs. A. E. Cox suffered for three weeks terminated fatally Thursday afternoon last. The sufferer remained in a semi-con-scious state from the first attack until death came to her relief, and she passed away without being able to utter a word. Mrs. Cox, whose maiden name was Emeline Compton, was born July 30, 1834, at Snufftown, this State, where her father was one of the leading business men. On January 8, 1857, she became the wife of A. E. Cox, by whom she had six children, the husband and four children surviving her. Deceased had been a resident of Ocean City for a number of years, and by her gentle manners and kindly disposition she had won a large circle of friends who will learn of her death with pro-

found sorrow. She was a devoted mother, affectionate wife, and thoughtful and considerate friend--attributes which attract and hold the esteem of friends. Funeral services were held in the First M. E. Church Sunday evening, conducted by Rev. W. A. Massey assisted by Rev. E. B. Lake. Rev. Massey's remarks were highly eulogistic of the Christian character of Mrs. Cox, and of her devotion as a mother and wife. Although the elements without were at war the church was filled with the relatives and friends who came to take a last look upon the face of her whom they held so dear. There were but few dry eyes in the congregation when Mrs. H. G. Steelman and Mrs. E. A. Bourgeois sang "Meet Me There," a favorite hymn of Mrs. Cox's. The body was taken to Pemberton for interment on the early train Monday morning.

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.

ing next, for the benefit of the Second Baptist Church. Supper, 25 cents. If the weather should prove unfavorable it will be held on the first fair evening.

EGG HARBOR CITY. The big silk ribbon factory at this place has resumed operations with a full force of hands. Frederick Roediger, one of the oldest settlers of Atlantic county, died Sunday at Lower Bank, aged seventy-four years. He first introduced grape vines into this place, and was the first in this section to demonstrate that a successful business could be made of vine culture. ATLANTIC CITY. Wild ducks were never known to be so plentiful in the bays and ponds of this county. Lizzie Creeden, a colored lodging house keeper in Fox's avenue, was taken into custody Sunday night for attempting to burn down her house. She is not mentally sound, and had words with a lodger. In consequence decided to fire the building for revenge. The fire department saved the building and also rescued the woman, who remained in the burning building. She suffered severe burns about the hands and head, but they are not of a serious nature.

Rev. J. A. Kunkleman, of Greenville, Pa., has been elected pastor of St. Andrew's Evangelical Lutheran Church, of this city. MAY'S LANDING. Rev. S. Y. Lum, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at this place, has tendered his resignation, which the congregation will very reluctantly accept. The retiring clergyman is very popular in the town, and the church has enjoyed a season of much prosperity under his pastorate. Lincoln's birthday will be celebrated here with a big mass meeting in the Opera House. Dr. H. C. James' two cottages on Main street are rapidly assuming proportions.

Miss Lottie Babcock rendered an instrumental solo and Miss Corena Frambes also sang a solo accompanying herself on the organ. A good time was enjoyed by all. Willis Leeds is now living with A. S. Frambes, assisting in his general business. Some one broke into the school house on Sunday.

Trouble Over Property.

A request recently made upon Tax Collector George L. Lovett, of Cape May, reveals a tale of two persons whose names are the same, whose wives' names are the same, and who both claim to be

the owner of a piece of property in the city of Cape May, for which both claim to have paid the same price, and neither of which knew the other existed. Yet this condition had existed for over twenty years. Both have been paying taxes on the property, but it has so happened that they both were delinquents and did not think anything was crooked in the matter. A few days ago Mr. Lovett received a letter from one James Berry, of Fortieth street, Philadelphia, giving him a sound word-thrashing for not sending him the tax bill of the property, when he found he had already sent it to a James Berry, of Green street, Philadelphia. Then came an investigation, which caused

the Fortieth street Berry to write to County Clerk Edward L. Rice, and ask for a copy of the recorded deed. He received the certified copy of the deed, by which he learned, as he thought,

that himself and wife, Anne Berry, had the record with them, but he did not remember ever sending the deed to be recorded, and thought the date of the deed a few years later than he supposed the time when he purchased the prop-

erty.

Now the other Berry, the Green street resident comes to pay his tax, and finds that up to 1884 some one else had paid the tax and he could not understand this. The only tax which Mr. Lovett received was for the year 1891, and that was from the Fortieth street Berry. Then came the investigation which will no doubt lead to a law suit, which will bring out many intricate points of law. The property in question is an unimproved lot on the south side of Lafayette street, near Union street, one hundred feet front by seventy-three feet deep, and was once owned by Hugh Orem, who died many years ago, and from whom both parties claim to have bought the property for the sum of $450. The name of Hughey Orem being presented to the older residents of the place brings back to them memories of their younger days, when they remember him, they say, as a big heavy farmer, who occasionally partook of the "spirits" which made men feel gay, and who, in the summer season, was often the host of a happy lot of visitors. The story now goes that about a quarter of a century ago, when this happy Cape Mayan and the now Fortieth street Berry were at Millville, N. J., on a lark, they made a bargain by which the first transfer of the property was made. This Berry was a cattle dealer, and Orem agreed to take in exchange ten head of cattle at $45 each for the plot of ground. Berry, it is said, got his deed, but never had it recorded.

A few years later, it is told, James Berry and Anne, his wife, now of Green street, came to Cape May, and Hughey boarded with them, and ran up a bill which amounted to $225, which he did not pay. Then Hughey proposed to

sell to the Green street Berry the property for $450, and take the balance in cash for the property after the board bill had been deducted. This was done and this Berry had his deed recorded, and finds that he has his deed in his possession and the country record is with him. The Fortieth street Berry has lost his deed, and as a consequence is not as safe as he thought he was when he received a certified copy of the Green street Berry's deed. No legal action has yet been brought.
