There was nothing to identify the body, but Coroner Ingersoll thinks it is a case of

infanticide and will make an investigation.

A memorial home is to be erected here for Miss Letitia Townsend, formerly general secretary of the Girls' Friendly Society of America. City Council Monday night in special session overrode Mayor Wright's veto of an ordinance concerning the erection of frame buildings on certain avenues by a vote of 13 to 1. Mayor Wright's objection was on the score of the ordinance not being sufficiently explana-

tory in its points and not embracing sufficient territory. ABSECON. A mass meeting was held Saturday night to protest against the action of the Democratic Senators in blocking reform legislation at Trenton by revolutionary methods. The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity. Speeches explaining the situation and showing how the people's Representatives were denied their rights by a minority, backed up by a Democratic Governor and At-torney-General, were made by Congressman Gardner, Senator Hoffman, of this county, and Senator Stokes, of Cumberland county.

new interest and pleasure shown in the school make its members very hopeful for the future. The church choir also has been more than doubled in number and renders the music in an attractive and earnest manner, which greatly adds to the interests of the meetings.

tainty whether it would be held. "A Journey Through France" will be given next Saturday evening, and about twice as many pictures will be shown. A nominal admission fee of five cents will be asked for to cover the expenses of the occasion.

Atlantic City's Campaign. Things political in Atlantic City have begun to stir and are shaping for the municipal fray, which will occur less than a month hence. The greatest agitation is among the Republican leaders, who are meeting with difficulty in settling upon a choice for the Mayoralty nomination. It is not because there is not material of a fine quality from which

to choose, but from the fact that there is a surplus.

Councilman Frank P. Stoy, of the First Ward, seems to have the most promising chance of getting the nomi-

nation, which this year will be equivalent to an election. It has been said that Senator and ex-Mayor Samuel Hoffman was in the field, but later de-

velopments have disproven this and he has stated himself that he is not in the fight. Ex-Alderman Robert Stroud, who was defeated by the present incum-

bent, Willard Wright (Dem.), will likely make another effort to get the nomination again, but his own party is against him. Alderman Joseph Bartlett, and Councilmen Samuel Rose and

Edward S. Lee are also making a can-

vass for the nomination.

On the Democratic side Harry H. Postoll is looked upon favorably and exAssessor William Riddle will probably seek the nomination to strengthen his position as a factor in his party. Mayor Willard Wright will not try for a renomination, as he is saving his strength for his fight for the post-office commission, which is nearing a point of issue. There is no possibility of the Democrats obtaining a majority of City Council, which means that the School Board, whose members are elected by that body

and which is now Democratic, will have its political complexion changed. Re-

corder Jacob H. Leedom will likely prove the Republican nominee for Al-

derman, which carries with it the presidency of City Council.

Council Meeting. At the February meeting of Council, held on Friday evening, Mayor Moore and all the Councilmen were present. The committee on purchasing fire appliances reported that the additional

articles had been received and turned over to the foreman of the fire company. The report was accepted and committee discharged.

Bills to the amount of $451.30 were received and ordered paid.

The Mayor and Clerk were instructed to make a new deed to the Association for lot No. 270, which was sold for taxes in 1886 and redeemed by the Associa-

tion, owing to defects in the old one. The Mayor and Clerk were authorized to look after notes due in Vineland National Bank on February 13th and 14th; for amounts of $400 and $800, re-

spectively, by paying all that is possible and renewing for the balance.

Council adjourned to meet on Friday evening, 23d inst.

CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondents.

SOUTH SEAVILLE. Twenty years ago Dennis Fisher procured from a wreck a lot of large yellow apples. He planted a few seeds, from which grew very large trees, and for two winters past he has supplied the neigh-

borhood with this fruit.

CAPE MAY CITY. Residents of this old and popular resort have started in to "hustle" for business for the coming season. City Council at a recent meeting appointed a committee of citizens to invite the New Jersey Department, Grand Army of the Republic, to hold a summer encamp-

ment here in August. They promised to contribute $5000 toward defraying the expenses of the camp and $3000 is already pledged. The invitation was laid before the department at Trenton last Thursday and now rests with the council of administration, with the prospects of a favorable response.

Alex Church, a surfman in the Cape May Point Life Saving Station, recently purchased a lot of ground on Eldridge avenue, West Cape May, on which to build a home. In locating the lot he found that Charles Schellenger, who had purchased the adjoining lot, had made a mistake and built a cottage on his lot. The matter was settled by an exchange of the deeds. According to the report of the State Board of Assessors, Cape May county has a total valuation of $5,091,091, of which $4,612,326 is real estate. Cape May City is valued at $1,550,000, of which the real estate is assessed at $1,383,950, which shows that it pays 30 per cent, of the county tax. The tax rates per $100 in the various borough resorts in the county is as follows: Holly Beach, $3.90; Ocean City, $3.10; Sea Isle City, $3.00; Anglesea, $3.00; Cape May Point, $2.90; Cape May, $2.40; West Cape May, $2.30; and Avalon, $2.25. TUCKAHOE. The results of the great religious revival at the M. E. Church are remarkable. The work is being helped along

by all denominations, and the people go for miles to attend the meetings.

Eighty-six have been converted so far, and there are many at the altar. Among those converted are eleven sea captains. It is the greatest revival held here in years.

Enoch Ingersoll, Sr., has been very sick. Mr. Ingersoll is 87 years old.

Joseph Sutton, Sr., is 80 years old. Captain Joseph Champion and wife, of English Creek, spent Sunday here with Captain Enoch Ingersoll and wife. Harry S. Douglass, a lawyer from the Court House, has opened an office in this place. Captain R. H. Wheaton and wife spent Friday at the Court House with friends.

Hiram Steelman and wife, of Atlantic City, is visiting his sisters, Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Cambourn.

Jacob Applegate, of Millville, is spending a few weeks with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Applegate. W. P. Flanagan, of Salem county, has bought Edward E. Hammell's store, and took possession Thursday. The Baptist Sunday-school held a convention at the residence of Mrs. E. Stelle yesterday. The wedding of Mr. Dare, of Camden, and Miss Mamie Churchill, of this

place, took place at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Churchill.

The scholars of the Presbyterian Sun-

day-school will have a grand treat at the residence of Mrs. Mary Jane Shep-

pard soon. Richard Sheppard recently purchased a handsome span of horses and a new carriage.

Lent. The ecclesiastical season known as Lent commenced on Ash Wednesday, February 7th, and will last for a period of forty days, until Easter, and is ob-

served by some denominations of Christians with great strictness--more parti-

chularly by the Roman Catholics, the members of the Greek Church, and the Protestant Episcopalians. Some other religious denominations also observe it with more or less strictness.

The custom of keeping the religious fast known as Lent commenced in the Latin church as early as the fourth century, and for a long time no settled period as to the length of time it was observed prevailed, varying from three to six or seven weeks. About the eighth century it was finally settled by the Latin church as forty days, and since then that time has been generally ob-

served. As regards the manner of keep-

ing Lent, various degrees of strictness have prevailed in the church. Perfect abstinence from all food every fasting day until evening is in theory at least required, and it has also been considered desirable that public worship with sermon should be attended daily, with frequent communion, especially on Satur-

day and Sunday; public amusements, especially stage plays, are prohibited, and the celebration of religious festivals, as also of birthdays and marriages, is held to be unsuitable; and increased diligence in almsgiving and deeds of charity is enjoined.

The Free Reading Room.

The W. C. T. U. wish to state that while the reading room is open only for the use of gentlemen and young men during the evening hours, it is also open every afternoon during the week when anyone is welcome to its use.

Books can be taken out one week at a time by payment of five cents to Mrs. Ranck at the time they are taken.

FOR SALE OR EXCHANGE--Nine-roomed house, good barn, 22 acres of ground, containing fine orchard--win-

terfruit principally--situated at English Creek. Will exchange for Ocean City property. Bargain. Apply to or address R. C. Robinson, Ocean City, N. J.

G. P. Moore Elected President.

The Building and Loan Association held their February meeting on Saturday evening, when G. P. Moore was re-elected president. The meeting was a lively one, especially when action was had on the amendment to the constitu-

tion introduced during the January session relative to enlarging the voting power of stockholders. The amend-

ment was lost by a vote of 43 to 42. In order to have carried the resolution it would have required a two-thirds vote.

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.
