Board of Freeholders. The Cape May County Board of Free-

holders met at Cape May Court House on Monday. The Board was called to order by Director Lake. All members were present.

Quite a large number of bills were acted upon.

The committee on Treasurer's accounts presented their report.

Mr. Weeks presented a resolution that the Collector's report be published

in the Star, Wave, Gazette, Holly Beach Journal, Sea Isle Times and Ocean City News at a cost of $70 each.

This resolution took in all the papers in the county except the SENTINEL, and met with considerable opposition. Mr. Devitt offered an amendment, seconded by Mr. Garretson, that the News be stricken out and the SENTINEL in-

serted.

The amendment was discussed at length, after which both amendment and original motion were withdrawn, when Mr. Rice offered a substitute awarding the report to all the papers at a cost of $70 each and appropriating $420 for the purpose. After a few minutes' discussion it was discovered that

seven papers were named and that the appropriation was too small.

At this point an adjournment was ef-

fected until 2 o'clock.

At the opening of the afternoon session Mr. Rice asked unanimous consent to withdraw the resolution before them at adjournment, which was granted. Mr. Rice then offered as a substitute that the Star, Wave, Gazette, Holly Beach Journal, Sea Isle Times, News and SENTINEL each publish the report

at $60 each and that $420 be appropriated. An amendment was at once offered striking out the Holly Beach Journal and the Ocean City News, and allowing the remaining five $70 each. After considerable debate, a vote on the amendment was taken by ayes and nays with the following result: Ayes--Messrs. Bate, Buck, A. Corson, T. Corson, Ewing, Garretson, Hand, Hoffman, Haines and Stevens--10. Nays--Messrs. Devitt, Lake, Rice, Smith and Weeks--5. Messrs. Devitt and Rice favored striking out the News, but were opposed to

cutting out the Holly Beach Journal. The vote on the original motion as

amended--to give it to the Star, Wave, Times, Gazette and SENTINEL at $70

each--was carried by a vote of 10 to 4.

The report of the almshouse keeper was read and filed.

Mr. Haines presented a resolution that a stone slab with the Freeholders' names engraved thereon be placed in front of door of new jail. Tabled.

Mr. Weeks offered a resolution rescinding the order compelling the Bill

Committee to meet the day before each meeting of the Board. Under the rules this resolution could not be acted upon until the next meeting.

The Jail Committee reported the con-

tract drawn and forwarded for new jail.

Several special committees made minor reports. Petitions were presented protesting against emptying sewerage in Crooper

Creek. This matter was referred to the local Board of Health.

The new Board met for the organization yesterday and their proceedings will be published in our next issue.

EGG HARBOR CITY.

Alexander Long was held up by three highwaymen near his farm, about a mile from this place, Wednesday night,

and robbed of a gold watch and $75 in cash. The men were masked, and he had no idea who they were. Before leaving him they threatened to shoot

him if he gave an alarm before morning. This is the second case of highway robbery near here within the past two months. A movement is on foot to revive the annual fair which was abandoned last fall.

ATLANTIC CITY.

Samuel Heyton, a sinter, fell off the roof at Revere House Thursday, and will probably die from his injuries.

When he reached the ground his head fell between the panels of a fence, crushing in his skull on each side and breaking both of his wrists. In addition to the breaking of several ribs on each side,

he suffered severe internal injuries. He was taken to the City Hospital, where he was reported in a precarious condi-

tion. Gottlieb Frank, a baker, 48 years old, shot himself in the side Friday with

suicidal intent. The ball passed through his left lung and he cannot re-

cover. Despondency over the failure of a business venture was the cause.

Lack of funds has caused the Board of Education to order the schools closed May 25, three weeks earlier than usual.

Charles Sage who was charged with atrocious assault upon his wife and acquitted, has been awarded possession of

his 9-year-old daughter.

Fishermen expect a plentiful run of weakfish within a few days, and are getting their sailing crafts in readiness for the sport.

ciation which was organized several years ago, has dissolved, and $60 in the treasury has been donated to the Mercer Memorial Home.

mencement May 25 in the Academy of Music.

Walter S. Corson, son of Peter S. Cor-

son, a leading merchant of this city, graduated with high honors from Hah-

nemann's Medical College, Philadelphia, on Tuesday evening. We wish Dr. Corson unbounded success in the practice of his profession.

PLEASANTVILLE. Miss Elvira and Maggie Nicholas, of Atlantic City, were guests of Mrs. H. D. Robinson Saturday and Sunday. Mrs. Klegus is visiting relatives in Atlantic City. On May 5th money sold in the P. M. B. & L. Society from 80 cents to $2.15. J. S. C. Heiss and daughter, of Phil-

adelphia, who visited his mother-in-law, Mrs. Butterworth, on Saturday returned home Monday.

Mr. Sharp moved on Monday to the homestead of the late Job Adams. E. S. Bett, of Atlantic City, has rented the late Mrs. Sarah Ann Ireland's property at Seaview. Harry Megann lost a valuable horse last week. The animal had been sick for about fifteen days.

Mrs. Sarah Peterson is confined to her bed with rheumatism.

F. E. Adams has arrived in Absecon with another load of oysters. Miss Lena Shinn was the guest of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Bartlett, over Sunday. Examination closed on Wednesday in our public schools. Our teachers have done exceedingly well, and much praise is due them. Mrs. Charles Conover, of Altantic City, was the guest of Mrs. Elicum Conover last week. Mrs. James Boice is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Hamilton, of Philadelphia. Charles J. Anderson will publish a weekly paper at Atlantic City during the summer months. Mrs. Isaac Brown and Miss Carrie Morris, of Philadelphia, are spending a few days with Mrs. Carrie Anderson. Miss W. Boice has rented her cottage on Virginia avenue for the summer months. Mrs. Sarah Boice, of Absecon, spent Saturday and Sunday with her daughter in this place. Miss Lorene and Ray Boice will spend the summer months at home with their mother. PORT REPUBLIC. Enoch Higbee, Sr., and family, of Somers' Point, spent a few days of last week at their old home here. Frank Clark, of Port Republic, has returned to his post of duty at James Higbee's for the summer. John Smith lost one of his work horses recently by lockjaw. Mrs. Jones Townsend and little daughter, who have been South for the last six months, have returned home. Miss Tillie French, the popular niece of Mrs. Alice Cake, has been visiting her relatives and friends here, who certainly will regret to lose her pleasant face from among their social gatherings.

Mr. and Mrs. Church, of Cape Island, the latter a former resident of this place, have been stopping at Mrs. Elizabeth Clark's for several days.

The Epworth League will be represented in Camden by Miss Midie Collins and Horace Rose. Chicken-pox and mumps prevail.

Port has certainly taken the initiative in the way of novel party making named a ewe party, consisting, as its name indicates, entirely of ladies. Any one strolling in the vicinity of Captain Leek Bowen's one evening last week might have been seriously startled by hearing a sudden burst of something that sounded like many voices in concert calling for assistance. Listening more attentively to ascertain the direction from which the sounds eminated, the listener soon discovered that nothing more serious than the real music of female voices which seemed to be occasioned by indulgence in jokes, conversation, puns, riddles and games of the most fun-provoking and hilarious nature. The guests consisted of the Misses Tillie French, of Camden; Willie Higbee, of Absecon; Lida Adams, Marette Frambes, Maggie Rose, Eva Bowen and Sally Bowen. These headed by the hostess, Mrs. Leek Bowen, Mrs. Alice Cake and Mrs. Flora Turner, "ewes" of older growth, gave themselves up to the most enjoyable occasion of the season.

What a forlorn thought, to imagine us bachelors emulated our sisters example! Just think of it!

Council Proceedings.

Council met in adjourned session on Friday evening, all the members being present. The minutes of the previous

meeting were adopted as read.

The committee appointed to confer with Mrs. Rush in reference to the Ocean City Guide Book and Directory

reported that said book was acceptable for its purpose, but that some one should look after the distribution of the same. The committee appointed to wait on E. B. Lake in reference to fixing up Wesley avenue along the line of the electric railroad stated that he (Mr. Lake) was ready as soon as the borough did its part. The Clerk was then instructed to notify the Electric Railroad Company to have the streets graveled and the crossings planked on the line of said railroad from Thirteenth street to Simpson avenue, according to the ordinance granting the franchise, said work to be completed by June 15, 1894. Anderson Bourgeois made a statement and requested Council to grade and gravel the street in front of his property on Central avenue, corner of Thirteenth street. The street at this point has never been built, but Mr. Bourgeois claims that Council accepted it by granting the Electric Railroad Company a franchise over said portion of street. Reuben Ludlam presented a communication requesting the purchase of a tax duplicate. Mr. Ludlam was instructed to procure it. A similar request was made by the Collector, who was authorized to get bids on a book called "The Numerical Record."

A petition praying Council to brush all lots between West and Wesley avenues, from Ninth and Twelfth streets, was read and referred to the Solicitor. Bills to the amount of $76.32 were read and ordered paid. Motions also prevailed for the payment of interest aggregating to $224.60.

A Model Teacher. Prominent in educational circles is Professor David Wesley Bartine, A. M., M. D., professor of algebra in the Central High School and secretary of the faculty. He was educated in the public schools of Bucks county and in this city and attended the Normal School in Millersville, Pa. Then he began to teach, being appointed principal successively of the Mantua School, West Philadelphia, and the North Ward Boys' Grammar School, Camden, N. J. He was connected with the latter when the war broke out, and laying down the text-book he took up the musket and as a private in Company D, Twenty-fourth Regiment, New Jersey Volunteers, he went to the front and was soon appointed first lieutenant of the company. After the battle of Fredericksburg, when the senior officer was wounded, Lieutenant Bartine assumed command of the company and remained its senior officer until the expiration of the service. Dr. Bartin's connection with the High School faculty dates from 1866, and he was elected secretary in 1887. He is a graduate of Hahnemann Medical College. He has been a member of the Teachers' Institute since its organization and represented in the institute at the National Education Association

at Nashville, Tenn., in 1889.

An active member of the Methodist Church and president of the Chautauquan Association, Dr. Bartine is well known as a religious man, and no better tribute to his earnestness in such matters can be given than the just statement that he lives his religion in the class room.--Philadelphia Inquirer, May 3d. Dr. Bartine is a resident of this city, having a cottage on Wesley avenue.
