His wounds were dressed at the City Hospital, and he was taken to his home in Camden on a late train. The "Journal" of this city, is engaged in an active warfare against the gambling element in this summer resort, and charges are made that the authorities are bribed to shield the law-breakers. The "Journal" proposes to tell who gets all the money, and threatens to explode the whole scandal in future issues. Atlantic City sold 300 properties Monday for delinquent taxes. The city bought in the larger part of them, thus securing on each a lien for thirty years. PORT REPUBLIC.

Atlantic County Courts.

At the convening of the Atlantic County Court at May's Landing Monday morning the case of Justin R. Rice, the cowboy evangelist, came up for trial. Mr. Rice was indicted, charged with common nuisance by talking aloud and in a boisterous manner, causing to be collected a large assemblage of people. For the State, the Mayor and number of Atlantic City policemen testified on a line as the charge specified, while defendant Rice and several witnesses testified in his behalf. The jury was out two hours, when they returned with a verdict of guilty, recommending him to the mercy of the Court. After receiving the verdict, Judge Thompson sentence Rice to pay a fine of $25 and costs, amounting in all to $80.

The case of Mrs. Rice, indicted on the same charge, was postponed until the December term.

At the conclusion of the Court Monday afternoon Judge Thompson sentenced the following prisoners convicted at the term: John Stewart, William Robb, Amos James, assault, each one year in the State prison; William Mulhern and David Doyle, larceny; William Kennedy, George Johnson, Joseph Smith, breaking and entering and larceny, John Kelly, hotel thief,

each two years in the State prison, and

David Bernstein, robbery, five years; John Butler and Alphonso Chester, larceny, each six months in the county

jail.

James Ford, August Zeiseiniss, Louis Kompf, Charles Minerd and Adolph Barthold, Atlantic City saloon keepers, who pleaded guilty to permitting the operation of slot machines in their places of business, were each fined $25 and costs. The Judge stated that if any other cases of this character come before the Court the operators will be placed in jail. ____ Ex-Senator Jacobs, of New York, Dead. Ex-State Senator John C. Jacobs, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who for the past two years has made his home on Pacific avenue, Atlantic City, died Sunday evening, aged 56 years. The deceased was enjoying fairly good health until Tuesday last, when he was stricken with an attack of Bright's disease. Sunday morning he became unconscious, and sank rapidly. The deceased was born in Lancaster County, Pa., in 1838. In early life he was a reporter on a New York journal, and went to the front during the war. Upon his return to Brooklyn, his home, he became a factor in the Democratic party, and began his career in public life as the representative of a Brooklyn district in the House of Assembly. From 1867 to 1874 he was consecutively elected to that branch of the Legislature. In the latter year he was elected to the Senate, of which he remained a member until 1885. In 1883 he was president pro-tem of that body. During President Cleveland's incumbency as Governor of New York, the deceased was chairman of the Finance Committee of the Senate. Their conferences ripened into a friendship that was lasting. The President was to have been his guest in this city during the past summer, but was kept away by the unexpected length of the session of Congress. _____ Fixing up States. Cape May county will elect a Senator and an Assemblyman this fall, both of whom will vote for a successor to John R. McPherson in the United States Senate. A County Clerk is also to be

elected.

The Democratic Convention has been called by Chairman Porter for October 6th, and Lemuel E. Miller says he can have a renomination if he wants it, but he is losing no sleep over the matter. Mayor Thomas E. Ludlam, of Sea Isle City, would like to have the nomination, and there are half a dozen dark horses. If Senator Miller is renominated, a man must be chosen for the Assembly nomination from the upper part of the county, and it is likely to be Freeholder Charles J. Devitt, of Dennisville. If Ludlam is named for Senator, William Porter, of Cape May City, will probably be named for Assembly. James B. Stites, of Cape May City, would like to be on the ticket. For County Clerk Edward L. Rice will be renominated. The demoralization of the Democratic camp makes the Republican confident of carrying the county this fall. The Republican candidate for Senator will be Edmund L. Ross, who has served three years in the Lower House. For the Assembly [?]man Ludlam, of Dennisville, seems to be in the lead. Among the other candidates are Lewis T. Stevens, president of the Cape May City Council, and Aaron W. Hand, of West Cape May. For County Clerk James Shoemaker, ex-Sheriff, is the only announced candidate. In case the new Judiciary bill becomes a law, by which Cape May and Cumberland counties are made into one law judge circuit, Mayor James M. E. Hildreth, of Cape May, will be pressed by the Republicans for the judgeship.

NEW DRESS GOODS. Strawbridge & Clothier's Immense and Modish Display.

The taste that could not be satisfied at Strawbridge & Clothier's in the mat-

ter of winter dress materials would

have to be of a very eccentric and peculiar character, for there is now on sale at that establishment a variety of silk and wool, and all-wool fabrics so vast and so pleasing that the only difficulty lies in the matter of a choice, a really perplexing detail, where each

new piece displayed possesses a unique distinction that makes you swerve in your allegiance to the one you but a moment before thought superlatively lovely.

Covert suitings in their novel two-toned effects are without doubt the leaders in the quiet weaves, being partic-

ularly adapted for serviceable tailor-made costumes that are made to do duty all day long and are appropriate for almost any function.

The new colorings which are the out-

come of the fawn shades so long iden-

tified with these cloths, are Madagascar and Guitana, two warm browns with a cinnamon cast. The bluer shades are particularly stylish when made in entire costumes with coats to match.

Paris declares in favor of plaids; therefore at this reliable emporium are found the reigning favorites in every conceivable combination, the tartans being in the lead. Not only are the plaids seen

in their primary mixtures, but are used as a foundation tone in combination with boucle stripes and squares, the

blue, green and black mixture being at once smart and suggestive of all sorts attractive promenade costumes.

The bourettes decorated with

little scrolls of contrasting color, richhued Oriental-looking stuffs made further attractive through the agency

of a moire wave and two-toned light

weight effects, they have all the ap-

pearance of silk and are wonderfully stylish with their double crescents of

black thrown upon a background of rich color.

Then the Scotch beauties which are to be the thing, canvas-backed mixtures in which three colors commingle har-

moniously, regal beauties in eminence, violet and green Bengaline weaves, made more artistic by contrast with zigzag flashes of black lightning or more conventional figures, camels' hair with illuminated grounds, gauffre stampings and the always desirable silk and wool cassimeres in neat effects

these last being particularly new.

Restricted pocket-books are catered

to likewise in the heavier dress goods, so that no one need feel that even the loveliest material, either for day or evening wear, is out of reach if they will but accept the good things that have been prepared for them at Strawbridge & Clothier's.--Times, Philadel-

phia.

Death of F. Percy Smith. F. Percy Smith, the well-known banker, of the firm of Winthrop & Percy Smith, 439 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, died at his residence in Cape May Thursday morning at 11.45. On August 23, while alighting from a train at Cape May Court House, Mr. Smith fell and sustained a compound fracture of the leg. Blood poisoning supervened, and despite all that skilled physicians could do he grew steadily worse and pneumonia set in. Within the past few weeks he has made several rallies. Wednesday of last week, however, he relapsed into unconsciousness and in

that condition passed away.

An Octogenarian Pilot Dead. John Stevens, a Delaware pilot, on the retired list, died Sunday morning at his home in Cape May, of paralysis, aged 82 years. Three years ago he celebrated his golden wedding, and was immediately after stricken with the disease which caused his death. Mr. Stevens leaves a wife and several children, among them being ex-Assembly-man William T. Stevens and Lewis D. Stevens, of that city. He was almost a life-long member of the Cold Spring Presbyterian Church. His remains were buried in the cemetery attached to that church Tuesday afternoon.

Great Stress
