Their First Appearance. The Ocean City Volunteer Fire Company, No. 1, headed by the W. A. Manahan Cornet Band, made its first public appearance on Friday evening last, and all along the route the firemen were greeted with cheers and the waving of dainty handkerchiefs by fair maids and matrons.

Just as the line was being formed rain commenced falling and continued in fitful showers during the entire evening; but the laddies put on brave faces and marched along as though the sky was studded with stars. The procession formed at Tenth street and Wesley avenue, where, upon the arrival of the band, Dr. Graham was serenaded. At 8.30 the column was set in motion and moved over the following route: To Asbury, to Thirteenth, to Central, to Ninth, to Wesley, to Seventh, to Ocean, to Sixth, to Wesley, to Fourth, to Asbury, to the hose house. The hose carriage was handsomely decorated with lanterns, while the reel was hidden from view by a gracefully draped American flag. William Lake marshaled the parade and had for his aids Robert Fisher and Samuel Carhart. Halts were made at the following places and complimentary serenades tendered: Mrs. F. Schmitt's, Traymore Hotel, The Strand, Hotel Brighton, E. B. Lake's, Fourth and Asbury, and Asbury avenue below Eighth street. Mrs. Dr. Graham presented each of the firemen with a neat buttonhole bouquet. Tastefully decorated and illuminated cottages and fireworks and colored lights added to the scene and gave proof of the interest taken by our residents in the fire company. Previous to dismissal, William Lake, on behalf of the company, thanked the band for their generosity in contributing to the success of the parade, and also thanked Mrs. F. Schmitt for her kindness in affording shelter for the fire apparatus. The men made a very fine appearance in their new uniforms, and should the emergency arise they undoubtedly will be found effective workers.

A Grand Musicale.

There is in course of preparation a musical treat for the music-loving people of Ocean City, which will far eclipse any former effort in that line. The affair will be under the direction of Mrs. Dr. H. H. Kynett, who will be as-

sisted noy only by the best amateur talent our town affords, but also by professional musicians from other places, among whom we find the

names of A. L. Manchester, director of the Camden Musical Academy, and Mr. Hall, from the same institution, who takes rank among the foremost violinists of this country. The reputa-

tion of these gentlemen, alone, should be sufficient guarantee of the high order of the entertainment.

The musicale has been arranged for the benefit of the First M. E. Church, and while assisting this religious body, those who patronize the concert will be treated to a musical feast such as has never been heard in our town upon any occasion. The Auditorium has been secured for the purpose, and the 17th instant has been designated as the time.

At the Auditorium.

About 850 people assembled at the Auditorium on Sunday morning last to listen to Rev. Wallace MacMullen, of Grace M. E. Church, Philadelphia. The reverend gentleman preached a very earnest sermon from the words "Be ye reconciled." At the evening service the house was again well filled, the discourse being based upon the passage "Who loved me and gave Himself for me." Rev. MacMullen is a most earnest and eloquent divine, who possesses a magnetism that rivets the attention of his congregation, and as the words of truth fall from his lips they find lodgment in the hearts of his hearers. _________ BRICK! BRICK!! BRICK!!!--Orders for brick left at Thorn's hardware and furniture store or at Glenn Cottage, 8th St. and Haven Ave., will receive prompt attention; or with Abel D.

MAY'S LANDING. Captain Shep S. Hudson Thursday celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his captaincy of vessels, having been engaged actively as a sea captain since 1844. The first vessel sailed by Captain Hudson was the Sloop Hornet and afterwards the Schooners Dore, Richard G. Potter, Mary P. Hudson, S. S. Hudson, and for the past nineteen years the Barkentine Jennie Sweeney, of which he is yet in active charge. The last named four vessels were built at May's Landing expressly for Captain Hudson. While sailing in the Mary P. Hudson the captain carried the first load of ammunition of the civil war from New York to Key West, Florida. Captain Hudson took charge of the Sloop Hornet when eighteen years of age and is now supposed to be the oldest active sea captain in Atlantic county. While sailing the R. G. Potter he rescued fiftyone persons from the sinking U. S. Steamer Walker, which went to the bottom off Atlantic City. There were seventy-one people on board, fifty-one of whom were safely landed aboard the Potter, which services were recognized by the United States naval authorities who highly commended the brave action of the captain and crew of the Hornet. Captain Hudson has many warm friends here and throughout the county who will congratulate him upon turning the half century mark as a sailing master.--May's Landing Record. SOMERS' POINT.

The gentlemen were Frank Dare, Harry Higbee, Leek Johnson, John Mullen, J. B. Sooy, Harry Collins and Captain Charley Huntley.

The straw ride has been postponed for a week. J. B. Sooy, Miss Mary and Marette Frambes paid the latter's cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Norton, of Batsto, a visit last Sunday. Mr. Norton is superintendent of the old historic Richards' property, now owned by Joseph Wharton, the many times millionaire, of Philadelphia. Nature has bestowed her charms upon this place very abundantly. Misses Fanny and Bessie Livezly, of Trenton, are visiting their intimate friend, Miss Amanda Blake. They are welcomed by their many acquaintances. ATLANTIC CITY. James Boice, an employee of the Bartlett Ice Company, was severely injured last Wednesday by being jammed between two heavy wagons that collided in the ice company's yard. He was caught between two wheels and sustained a severe fracture of the knee cap. Medical assistance was called and he was removed to his home at Baltic and North Carolina avenues. Mr. Boice is well known in Masonic circles, having been Tyler of Trinity Lodge for years. Particularly sad were the circumstances surrounding the death of Frank Fiegel, aged 35 years, ago was drowned in the Thoroughfare, Thursday afternoon. Young Fiegel, who resides out on the Penrose tract, hired a boat from Coffey's boat house to go out gunning. He had gone a considerable distance when he arose to his feet and by some accident lost his balance and fell overboard. The body did not rise to the surface in time to make the saving of life possible, but later it was recovered. Life Guards Peak and Boyer Friday rescued Dr. Booth, a prominent physician of Detroit, Mich., from the waves at the foot of Ocean avenue. Guards French and Galeher also saved a man at South Carolina avenue, who gave the peculiar name of H. Mossbunker. Just one month ago Saturday, Miss Josephine Muller, of this city, was prostrated with a severe attack of hiccoughs. Night and day during that time, an age to the afflicted girl, her frame was momentarily convulsed with uncontrollable paroxysms and the doctors pronounced her case hopeless. Friday evening she was suffering with the hiccoughs as usual, but during the night she fell into a sound sleep. She awoke at 9 o'clock Saturday morning to find her harrowing affliction gone. H. C. Buckley, of Philadelphia, was arrested on Saturday, on suspicion of robbing Henry Berger, a passenger on an incoming Reading train of $70. Buckley was shortly after released, he proving conclusively that he was not

the thief.

Armour Johnson, of Wheeling, W. Va., was arrested on Saturday for acting in a disorderly manner. He exhibited symptoms of insanity. After being placed in a cell he tore up several tendollar notes and attempted to do himself violence. Although 15,000 people bathed on Atlantic City's beach Sunday, but two rescues were reported. John Buhenhoffer, of Philadelphia, was taken from the surf in an exhausted condition by Guards French and Gale, and John Butler, of Pittsburg, was rescued by Guards Peak and Boyer. Peter Curran, of Bristol, Pa., is in jail charged with robbing Thaddeus Farley, a hotel proprietor, of $450. Curran was arrested at the Reading Station as he was about to board a train, and all but a small amount of the stolen money was found upon his person. A dog show will be given on the Ocean Pier, on August 14. Only highbred canines will be entered.

Post-office Robbed.

Burglars robbed the post-office at Tuckahoe at 1 o'clock Sunday morning. They forced the safe door open with a charge of giant powder and secured seven registered letters, leaving the stamps untouched.

A WOMAN TRIES SUICIDE.

Mrs. Bella Adams a Pretty Brunette after giving Her Diamond Ring to a Hackman Plunges into the Surf at Atlantic City.

Mrs. Bella Adams, the wife of an employee of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, attempted suicide Thursday night by drowning. In sight of hundreds of persons she entered the water at the foot of Michigan avenue and deliberately walked into the ocean. She dashed through the smaller breakers clad in her street attire, and before the

astonished multitude fathomed her intention she was up to her shoulders in the water. She was rescued by two men.

She raved like a maniac on her way

to the City Hall, and repeatedly requested the officers in charge of the patrol to send for Alexander Armstrong, a prominent guest at the Hotel Dennis, with whom it appears she has been on very friendly terms for several weeks past. When she was taken to the hospital she quieted down somewhat and told the story of her escapade. She had been out for several hours with Mr. Armstrong and had drank several bottles of wine with him. They had a slight quarrel on Atlantic avenue after they left the cafe, and she pushed her pocketbook into his hand, and with tears streaming down her cheeks declared she would drown herself. He laughed at what he regarded as a silly threat, but she stepped into a hack a few moments later and ordered the colored driver to take her to the beach in a hurry, and, as if to stimulate him, she pulled a diamond ring from her finger and gave it to him in lieu of fare. All this she told herself at the City Hospital while awaiting the coming of her friend, Mr. Armstrong, for whom a messenger had been despatched to the Hotel Dennis. She seemed to feel no remorse for her action, and beyond stating that Armstrong must hereafter care for her, as her husband would disown her and drive her from the house when he learned of her escapade, she never referred to her legal protector. "I love you, Alexander, and not him," she repeated time and again. Alexander avowed himself willing to look after her future, and wanted to take her from the hospital at once, but

this the doctors forbade.

Mrs. Adams is a semi-brunette, stout but shapely, and possessed of a pretty face and flashing brown eyes. She dresses neatly, and of late wore much

valuable jewelry.

White Wings at Atlantic City. A yachting carnival will be inaugurated at Atlantic City, commencing Friday next and lasting a week. Races will be held every day. Local yachts will compete on the first and second days, but on Monday, August 13, a race will be given open to sloop yachts and cutters of the New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore Yacht Clubs. The carnival will be held under the auspices of the Corinthian Yacht Club, of this city, and cups with purses added will be offered as prizes. The course will be over a twenty-mile course. Among the outside entries already made are the Schemer, Venitzia, Nanon, Monarch, Ivis, Daw, Wenonah,

Ethel and Mascot.

An Injunction Granted. An injunction was served on John Cather Tuesday restraining him from erecting a number of election booths on the block of ground lying between the Auditorium and the ocean. Cather leased the ground from the Association and was putting up the booths thereon with the intention of renting them. The injunction was obtained by Mark Baner, who owns a large cottage on an opposite corner, on the ground that the block in question was to be kept as a public plot. This is the third time in the history of the borough that an injunction has been served on parties undertaking to build on this plot.

Death in a Spider's Bite.

Henry A. Paxton, a well-known farmer in the vicinity of Belleplain, this county, while working in the garret of his home on Thursday, was bitten on the hand by a small black spider. He killed the insect, and thought nothing more of the occurrence until the evening, when the hand began to swell. Mr. Paxton put a poultice on it, but the swelling continued. The next day there were evidences of blood-poisoning, and Paxton suffered greatly. The blood-poisoning spread, and he was in terrible agony until Monday morning, when death relieved him of his suffering.

A Farmer Attempts Suicide. Herman Schmidt, a farmer, living three miles from Egg Harbor City, attempted suicide Sunday morning by cutting his throat with a razor. He was found by his wife in the barn. The cut came within an ace of severing the windpipe. Schmidt had been brooding for several months over the loss of his father and mother, who died in Germany within a few weeks of each other. This probably caused his mind to become unbalanced. He will pro-

bably recover.

Baptist Services Probable.

Unless something unforeseen prevents

the Baptists summering at Ocean City, aided by the resident members of that denomination, will hold divine services next Sabbath, probably morning and night. It is possible that the large merry-go-round building, Ninth street and the strand, will be secured. Final notice will be posted in the hotels during the week, and in the SENTINEL regularly, if arrangements are consummated.
