WILL NOT BE ISSUED.

The Ocean City DAILY REPORTER will not be issued this season. This decision was reached after a careful canvass of the field, when the support pledged was found inadequate to warrant the venture. This should not have been the case, as in our judgment Ocean City is able to support an enterprise of this kind as a majority of our seaside resorts. The town is growing, and her business houses are multiplying rapidly, but those most interested in the town's prosperity and growth have shown an indifference not in keeping with the spirit of progress which should

prevail.

While we did not expect the REPORTER to bear its own weight, yet we had reason to believe that our business men and those whose interests were closely identified with the town's development would have shown sufficient enterprise to have given it that encouragement which would have insured its becoming one of the institutions of Ocean City. To that end we stood ready to bear our proportion of the expenses incident to its publication. It is a recognized fact that a newspaper is an important factor in the upbuilding of a town, and it was for that reason that the REPORTER was first issued; but, as it requires hundreds of dollars to bear the expense, we did not feel called upon to shoulder the greater part of the burden, and it was only after mature deliberation, and in view of all the facts that our final decision

was reached.

We have heard many expressions of regret that we were called upon to take this step; but the fault is not chargeable to any lack of public spirit upon our part, and we therefore feel justifiable in the course we have taken.

Mystery in a Death.

While engaged in fishing in the Thoroughfare off Rum Point, Atlantic City, Sunday morning, George Fitz-

gerald found floating in the water, face downward, the body of a young man, apparently 35 years of age. He attached it to a boat and rowed ashore, turning it over to the authorities.

Examination showed two deep gashes on either side of the throat, which may have been caused by a sharp instrument, or could have been inflicted by its rubbing against some rough edge. Apparently the body had been in the water for three weeks past, the flesh being decomposed, and the face so far eaten away by the first, that is was utterly impossible to distinguish a feature.

A search of the pockets brought forth only a key ring, to which was attached a couple of ordinary-looking keys and a gold scarfpin with the letter H. en-

graved in a capital of the German text design. A pair of blue enamel link cuff buttons were also taken from the body. The clothes consisted of dark material, a sack coat and negligee shirt.

He wore russet shoes, and a wide brimmed straw hat, with a deep, broad band. Altogether the dress would indicate that he was not a laborer. There was nothing found that could be taken to establish his identity. The body was quickly boxed and shipped to Pleasantville Sunday afternoon for interment in the Potter's field burying ground.

An inquest was held, but there was nothing developed that would give a clue to who the drowned man was.

Several of the jurymen are inclined to the belief that there had been a crime committed. The statement is current that a boat was capsized in the vicinity of the Atlantic Highlands, and that very likely this is one of the bodies from the accident washed down by the tide.

An Evangelist Arrested.

The female evangelist, Mrs. Justus R. Rice, was again the reigning sensation at Atlantic City Saturday, in conse-

quence of her battle with the police department. She was confined in the city jail on Saturday. Saturday morning Attorney Cole succeeded in having Mrs. Rice liberated, and in the afternoon she was again arrested on a warrant charging her with obstructing the highways. The complaint covered eight pages of foolscap.

The woman was taken before Justice Gouldey, and a score of witnesses were examined, the testimony of all whom,

barring the policeman, were corroborative that Mrs. Rice's meetings were in no way obstructive. "Judge" Gouldey, however, at the conclusion of the hearing, promptly sentenced her to ten days in the city jail.

A shout of disapproval went up from the large throng in the police room, and as the thin, pale-faced woman was

led to the prison, many of the excited spectators vehemently declared the pro-

ceeding an "infamous outrage."

When Mrs. Rice was placed in the cell her eyes flashed fire, and she impressively exclaimed: "These bars will not hold me until midnight."

Mrs. Rice's husband was taken to the county jail Saturday to serve a sentence of fifteen days. Attorney Cole went up

to Camden and secured a writ of habeas corpus from Supreme Court Justice Garrison, on which he secured Rice's release on Monday. He also got a writ of certiorari to carry the case up to the Supreme Court.

James Hussey Ends His Life.

James Hussey, formerly a prosperous Philadelphia baker, committed suicide shortly before 6 o'clock Saturday night

by jumping into the ocean from the extreme end of Young & McShea's ocean pier at Atlantic City.

Opening Services.

The Macedonia M. E. Mission had its opening on Saturday last in Steelman's Hall.

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. Houses moved in any part of the county. Address A. D. Scull, builder, Thistle Cottage, Ocean City, N. J.

"WHO WANTS A DIRECTORY?" Broad-minded, Intelligent Business Men, Who Hold the Interest of Ocean City Paramount to Petty Spite.

I take up the weapons of defense solely to protest against the Directory being used as a shield from behind which G. P. Moore shall sling political mud. While the public doubtless appreciates the tender solicitude with which he throws the aegis of his pro-

tection over it, and notes the collosal [sic] assurance with which he places his opinion before it as of invaluable im-

portance compared to that of Council, it must at the same time commend the long headed policy (?) which kept the Directories over from one year to the next and the manner in which those which were called for were grudgingly or churlishly doled out in evidence of

which I hold a list of names. Why did people come to me for Directories and when I directed them to go to the office of G. P. Moore decline to ask him?

Why were not the hotels supplied? One hotel keeper alone assured me that he would distribute the 240 "left over" copies in a very short time among his guests who were eager to get them and would have had use for 400 last season.

I distributed by mail, express and in person over 800 copies; the supply then ran short and I applied to G. P. Moore for more copies. As the number prof-

fered was so small I applied to Councilman Hand who turned over 200 copies, all he had, which were imme-

diately distributed. When these were exhausted I sent to G. P. Moore again.

I then had a call for 50 copies to be sent by express at the cost of the receiver.

This demand I could only fill with 25 copies. After Council made the ap-

propriation for '94 he immediately in-

formed me that he had "a wheelbarrow load on hand."

In the work of distribution there has never appeared but one notice in the SENTINEL of a place where Directories could be secured save the one of June 28th which he uses to give a covert

stab. In writing up the sketches I have never given the matter of party thought or question and I decline to have the labor of my head and hands used by others for an object entirely foreign to its design. The queries at once arise. Why were these books held over?

by what authority can a private citizen hold public property and advertise it for distribution?

I have the material on hand which will aid in solving the first question, and will come out in your next issue with these developments, if necessary.

Drowned at Anglesea.

While C. Wilson and Charles Anderson were crossing Hereford Inlet bar Saturday, Andersen accidentally fell overboard and was drowned. He was but 18 years of age and had but recently come to this country from Sweden.

The men were returning from the fish-

ing banks when a sea struck the skiff, partly filling her, and young Andersen was seen to fall overboard. Every effort was made to save him, but he was not seen to rise after first falling overboard. Several boats that were near at the time of the accident search-

ed for him for some time without success. His body has not yet been re-

covered.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, July 2, 1894.

18c CHALLIS AT 12½c Half Wool, half Cotton. Softness with strength. Light enough for the hot days, warm enough for the chilly evenings, handsome enough for an afternoon or evening dress anywhere.

Printings and patterns that crowd the best French Challis work wonderfully close.

Think of a 12-yard dress pattern of such stuff at $1.50. New patterns, new picturings in the fresh lot opened this morning.

STORM SERGE

Measured in any way this 50c Storm Serge is a 75c qual-

ity. It would be 75c here now but for the grasp of the busi-

ness that brought 60c Swivil Silk Ginghams to 37½c, and set the Dress Goods world wondering.

Navy blue and black; crisp, springy, bright and cheery in the dampest days.

The lustre comes from the fineness of the wool and the excellence of work on it--that's why a dash of water doesn't dim it.

WOMEN'S SUMMER DRESSES

Suppose the dress is for careless wear, no reason why it shouldn't be shapely.

That thought runs through every phrase of the ready-to-wear Dress business we are doing--the things must be shapely.

Note the Wash Dresses Note the Duck Dresses Note the Ginghams and Dimities Note the Pique sorts

Any piece you pitch upon in that great collection is stylishly cut and properly put to-

gether. In no other way could such popular favor be won for goods of this sort.

Of course the prices are right--the same genius that fixes patterns so wisely sees that costs are at the lowest possible.

Wash Dresses at $1.

That's the start.

You can push the price as high as you please--getting a hundred cents for a dollar every time.

Special lot of Women's Pique Dresses at $6.50--Cuta-way Coat, Paquin Skirt.

Ask to see the "Tattersall Waistcoat," London's latest.

Imported Vestings, single and double-breasted, $1.25, $1.50.

HIGH GRADE BICYCLES, $55 Something new? Yes and no--NEW AT THE PRICE, but under its proper name it is one of the leading $90 to $100 Wheels of right now.

It call came about in this way. The maker overdid it--made more than the market took.

He knew where to turn--the wheels are here. Only one restriction--not a whisper of the name. But you won't care--unless you're too late to share in this great distribution.

Bear in mind

Each wheel is fully guaranteed by the maker.

The pneumatic tires are guaranteed by their makers.

Think of $55 for a good high-grade Bicycle!

Continental Bicycles, of course. No better wheels run --pay $125 or $150 or whatever you please for a competitor. Full Roadster, M. & W. tire, $70; G. & J. tire, $75. Light Roadsters, M. & W. tire, $70; G. & J. tire, $75. Ladies' Bicycles, M. & W. tires, $75; G. & J. tire, $80. Basement, northeast of centre.

WINDOW SCREENS Don't forget that the Screen to be of any value must fit the window. Some of the unplaned, rickety, lop-sided Screen told of in the papers are not even good for kindling. We've no room for that sort--or for any sort that isn't well made. Fly Escape Screens, 24 to 30 in. high, adjustable from 26-30 to 31-29 in., 40 to 50c. That's one of the favorites.

Here are two of the specials--Adjustable Screen, 20 inches high, extend to 35 inches, at 19 cents; same, 24 inches high, at 25 cents. Basement, northeast centre.

HAMMOCKS Swing high, swing low--but there's no swing so restful and dreamful in dog days as that a Hammock gives. The Hammock is a hot-country device--a comfort of savage life caught by civilization.

Mexican Hammocks, 13 ft. long, 50c; extra large size, $1.

Woven Hammocks, with spreader, 75 and 90c. Very fine Mexican Hammocks, $5, $7.50, $12, $15, $20, $25, $50.

ICE CREAM FREEZERS If we knew a better than the "Wanamaker" it would be here Hinge top, wire dasher, tripe motion. Freezes quicker and easier and makes more ice cream from a given quantity of materials than any other Freezer.

2 qt. size, $1.40; 14 qt. size, $5.50; five sizes between.

Basement, northwest of centre. JOHN WANAMAKER.

WOODLAND CEMETERY. A Great Want Supplied.

A charter has been recently obtained and a Tract of Land containing thirty acres situate on the south side of the railroad, north of Ocean

View station, secured, and has been surveyed and laid out with convenient and tastefully ar-

ranged drives and plotted in lots, a plan of which can be seen at the office of Jos. I. Scull, Secretary, Sea Isle City, or Robt. Fisher, Ocean City. All lots are larger than customary size.

The West Jersey Railroad Company has built a large platform, and made Woodland Cemetery a regular stop for all local trains, thus afford-

ing a great convenience for funerals to come on the train, either from Ocean City, Sea Isle City or Avalon.

The prices of Burial Lots in the Woodland Cemetery are cheaper than in any other first-

class cemetery in the county. The Company invite special attention to the numerous advan-

tages offered to purchasers in their grounds.

Come in and view them. Nature and art incite inspection and admiration. Now is the time to secure a place of interment in the very best cemetery in South Jersey. We say the VERY BEST. It is so on account of its improve-

ments. The cemetery is highly respectable in the character and class of interments in its grounds; many advantages and inducements concentrate here to attract the living, and on account of elevation it is eminently the best.

Besides, it is not embarrassed with debt. It is not exceeded anywhere as a beautiful and final resting place. For further information apply to JOS. I. SCULL, Secretary, Sea Isle City, N. J.
