Mart--Bourgeois. A very pretty home wedding took place at the residence of George A. and Mary Bourgeois yesterday at 1.30 p. m.,

when their daughter Helen was married to John Mart, of Estellville, Rev. L. O. Manchester, of the First M. E. Church, officiating.

To the delightful strains of Mendelshon's Wedding March, the happy pair entered the parlor, where the invited guests had already assembled, and as soon as they had taken up their posi-

tion, the Rev. Manchester repeated that simple but impressive ceremony which bound these two young lives together for life. Mrs. H. G. Steelman, a sister of the bride, presided at the organ.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the usual congratulations and wellwishes followed, and then the happy party were served with refreshments.

Mr. and Mrs. Mart left on the after-

noon train for a short wedding tour, and upon their return expect to take up their residence in Ocean City.

The bride was dressed in white silk trimmed with Point de Alencon lace and white ribbon. The groom was attired in conventional black. There were flowers in profusion, which lent their fragrance to the festive scene.

The happy couple received many valuable and handsome presents. Friends from Camden, Philadelphia, May's Landing and Atlantic City were present, about seventy-five invitations having been issued.

South Jersey May Cross. Chancellor McGill has heard argu-

ment in the litigation over the right of the South Jersey Railroad Company to cross the West Jersey's track at Wood-

bine. He decided that the South Jer-

sey Company should be allowed to use a temporary crossing pending the construction of a permanent crossing un-

derneath the West Jersey track. The Chancellor gave the rival roads one week to amicably agree upon plans and specifications for both the temporary and permanent crossings. If they fail to agree the court will probably appoint a commissioner to supervise the work of construction.

byterians in service next Sunday evening. L. M. Conover is spending a week at Brigantine.

MAYS' LANDING. The 5 o'clock train from Atlantic City Sunday afternoon struck and instantly killed a man just below Rega Station who, from papers found on the body, is undoubtedly James A. Marquis, of 1241 Franklin street, Philadelphia.

Two hours before the accident the man was noticed on the track by Ed-

ward Gaskill, of this place, who believed he was bent on suicide. He would not talk to Mr. Gaskill, but kept on pray-

ing incessantly.

Among the papers on his body were several letters from a lawyer who was securing a divorce for him.

Schooner S. S. Hudson, Captain D. F. Vaughn, sailed from Philadelphia, Thursday for Gloucester, Mass., coal laden.

W. W. Moffitt, State Superintendent of the American Bible Society, will preach in the M. E. Church next Sunday evening. Rev. C. H. Denman, of Philadelphia, occupied the pulpit at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday. Decoration Day services were held in the M. E. Church last evening.

Captain Daniel Showell has improved his home by a coat of paint.

In a game of base ball on Saturday between the Pleasantville and Conovertown nines, the former came out vic-

torious by a score of 35 to 13. Archie Willetts, the curve pitcher, pitched for the Pleasantville team.

dow shades.

ATLANTIC CITY.

The appointment of S. R. Morse, of this city, by Governor Werts as a mem-

ber of the State Board of Education, gives Atlantic county its first repressentative in the board in its history. Mr. Morse had charge of the New Jersey school exhibit at the World's Fair, and for fifteen consecutive years was School Superintendent of Atlantic county.

Edward Norton and Edward Ireland, two young men belonging to this city, were caught in the act of breaking into the City Sanitarium early Friday even-

ing and arrested. They were given a hearing and held for trial at court.

William Riddle, chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, was deposed from that office at a meeting of that body Saturday in this city and was immediately succeeded by John D. Carver, of Elwood, who was elected by a majority of ten. The county mem-

bers of the committee came to this city hot in the collar because the meeting had been called without their notifica-

tion. It was understood that a candidate for postmaster was to be indorsed that was friendly to Riddle. On organ-

izing the county members controlled the meeting and outvoted the Riddle

men on every motion. It is probably that the outcome of the fight will be the existence of a dual county Demo-

cratic committee, with the papers and books of the committee in possession of the county wing.

The unpleasant side to military life was presented to the soldiers of the six regiments, N. G. of New Jersey, who un-

derwent annual inspection here Thursday afternoon. In the midst of a drenching rain they marched to the City Park at the foot of Illinois avenue, where Colonel D. B. Murphy reviewed them. Colonel Cooper and the inspect-

ing officer expressed themselves as well pleased with the appearance of the local militia. The visiting militia left on a

special train in the evening.

Lewis Groff, a stockholder in the Brigatine Beach Railway Company, applied last Wednesday for a receiver to take charge of the road. He alleges that the company has defaulted on its bonds with the Holland Trust Company, of New York. The road is capitalized at $350,000, and has never paid dividends on its stock.

Miss Carrie Scull, who was a graduate at the commencement on Friday even-

ing, received many handsome and valuable presents, among the number being a gold watch from her grandmother, Mrs. E. S. Littlepage; gold chain from an uncle and aunt, and a diamond pin from her father. Mr. and Mrs. Lore, of Wayne, Pa., were Miss Scull's guests

at the commencement.

Hon. John McCasky White, of Lancaster, Pa., was among the prominent visitors here on Saturday. Eliakim Conover and wife, Mrs. C. Conover, son and daughter, and Frank Salt, of this city, and Mrs. Hattie Smith, of Newark, were on a pleasure trip to to Tuckerton last week.

PORT REPUBLIC. Relatives and friends have been gladdened during the past week by

the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Boyer, of Haddonfield, who contemplate remaining for a few weeks. Their infant daughter, Elizabeth, assists in making the visit of the parents even more welcome.

Visitors looking for board during the summer begin to make their appear-

ance, and profess their pleasure with the location. Everyone, however, wishes to receive the hire for which they have labored.

Mrs. H. D. Robinson paid a short visit in Port last week. All who could pay for their paper was glad to see her.

Mrs. Michael Robinson, who has been in Atlantic City for a number of weeks,

is now at home cleaning and rejuvenat-

ing. She will soon remove the old blacksmith shop in which were heard

for many years the well-directed blows of her late husband. This will improve the appearance of her property.

Invitations are out for the "variety wedding" of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Turner, for the 11th of June.

Port has returned to her old practice of giving dinners to the Joe Hooker Post on Decoration Day. Captain French alone will entertain twenty-five. The remainder will be entertained at the hotel.

Death stalks in our midst, this time removing from loving friends Frank

Lashley, a young man just past twentyone years of age. His parents lose a most dutiful son, the social circle to which he belonged a faithful and appreciative member, the community an ornament, and the church a consistent member. This young man was one of the kind that have to die to be appreciated.

His modesty and his retiring disposition restrained him from pushing himself into notice. He had learned, however,

that there was a latent talent within him that required only cultivation to

make more of him than ordinary young men. Quietly, without ostentation or vain expressions, he sought every opportunity to improve his leisure moments.

Could his health have been spared, a few years from now he would have been an ornament in a position far different

from that of farmer, that in which he evinced such energy and faithfulness.

He was a most worthy example for other young men. One thing he had never learned, which should be taught every child from the cradle, Physiologi-

cal laws, of which he, in common with nearly all young people, was ignorant.

He thought that strength was given him to use to its utmost, regardless of the consequences; and this is the end.

Surprise and regret greeted us last Saturday when the news came of Mr. Joseph Turner's death. He was well known in this community and a re-

spected citizen. Thus Death is doing his work here and there.

Miss Emma Cavileer, whom we supposed could not live, is better. Her friends now believe she will recover.

Harry Higbee visited relatives at Pleasantville on Sunday.

Decoration Day was celebrated in grand style in this place. Rev. C. W. Livezly, of Trenton, and Rev. J. B. Dare, of this place, were among the speakers. Many residences have been brightened up with paint.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas C. Turner will have a variety wedding reception at their residence on Monday evening, June 11th.

The large mansion of E. D. French has been beautified by an application of paint. Painter Jeremiah Endicott is kept busy applying his brushes.

The private school of Mrs. E. W. Huntley closed on Friday last after a very prosperous season. Mrs. Huntley, on the closing day, tendered a grand

lunch to the scholars, who in turn presented her with a handsome silver cake

basket, laden with a large pound cake. The presentation speech was made by

Master George Adams, who acquitted himself in a creditable manner.
