ported missing from home since Saturday by her mother at police headquarters. The mother is almost distracted

over her unaccountable absence, she believing that her daughter is the victim of abduction by an unknown colored man. She is led to this conclusion from the fact that the girl two years ago was

spirited away, and was found in an empty house on States avenue. She accused a colored man with having forcibly taken her there and kept her a prisoner.

Mrs. J. H. Leedom has been elected president of the Atlantic county W. C.

T. U.

The Atlantic City post-office will be graded as a first-class office next year, the receipts already being several thousand dollars more than the amount required from a first-class office. Postmaster Sayre's salary will be increased

from $2800 to $3000, and there will be an increase in the force of carriers and clerks. The postmaster on Saturday received a letter from the Post-office Department authorizing him to appoint two more carriers, making the permanent force ten. Extensive improvements have been in progress in the First M. E. Church for two months past and are now nearly completed. They comprise a new iron

fence in front, and a good, substantial

board fence at the side of the church

lot. The edifice has been newly painted

on the outside, making it look almost like a new building. On the inside there are even greater changes. The ceiling of the audience room has been handsomely frescoed, the woodwork grained in oak, the side walls papered, new pews of oak of beautiful design,

new pulpit furniture to correspond with

the pews, and an elegant velvet carpet

covering the entire floor and vestibule.

The basement has likewise been im-

proved. Walls and ceiling have been

papered, including class rooms and vestibule; the woodwork painted and grained, the lecture room reseated and carpeted, and two large new heaters have been put in. The entire cost of the improvements will be about two thousand dollars. The larger portion of this has already been paid in. Last Sunday was reopening day, and Dr. Thomas Hanlon and Presiding Elder D. B. Harris spent the day with us.

Nathan Johnson, the supposed in-

sane man, who was found in a meadow ditch, late on Wednesday night, died at the city prison Friday of delirium tremens. He has a family in this city.

Isaiah Conover, a boatman, 60 years old, residing at No. 23 North Maryland avenue, this city, was found floating in the water in the bottom of his oyster boat, in Absecon Bay, early last Wed-

nesday morning. S. L. Bowen, an-

other boatman, noticed the yacht with full sail set, tossing about on the water with apparently no one in her, and upon his arrival in the city notified the authorities. Captain Jim Downs put out from the Inlet, and, after an hour's sail, overtook the skipperless craft.

Her master had been dead several hours, and as there were no bruises or other signs to indicate that he died a violent death, it is presumed that an attack of heart failure caused his death. Conover was a widower, and leaves a son and one daughter.

A Fugitive's Surrender.

Minnie Weigle, of Atlantic City, who was indicted in the Atlantic County Courts by the last Grand Jury upon the charge of keeping a disorderly house and fled the city to avoid arrest, surrendered herself last Wednesday. She appeared before Judge Thompson, who placed her under $1000 bail for appear-

ance to answer the charge at the next term of court.

The Teachers' Institute.

Judge Hampton, County Superin-

tendent, of Cumberland, was here on Tuesday completing arrangements for the Teacher's Institute of Cape May and Cumberland counties, to be held in this city commencing October 10th.

About 225 teachers will attend. Grand lectures will be given on each evening, to which the public is cordially invited. Admission free.

Fire Insurance Policies.

It is now a law of this State that all policies of insurance upon property written therein, must be written by agents who are actual residents of the State, and it is a misdemeanor for any non-resident agent to write or issue any policy upon property within the State, under a penalty of $25 for the first, and $100 to $150 for each subsequent offence. Look at your policies and make sure that they are all right, for no person can afford to lose his or her insurance on a technical point, if unfortunate enough to be burned out.

Matrimonial.

The marriage of Charles Cross, a summer resident of this city, to Miss Martha B. Seaman, of Burlington, took place on Tuesday evening of last week at the home of the groom in the latter city.

Rev. J. Morgan Read, assisted by the Rev. J. Madison Hare, were the officiating clergymen. The guests were confined to the immediate relatives of the bride and groom.

Words of Praise. M. M. Gillam, manager of the advertising department of John Wanamaker's immense establishment, and wife were among the recent visitors to Ocean City. Mr. Gillam had not been here for several years, and expressed himself as "astonished and delighted with the wonderful growth of Ocean City," but surprised that the Council does not compel

the brushing of the unimproved property.

At its last meeting City Council decided to do away with all police officials during the winter months, and instructed Marshal Buck and Assistant Marshal Podok to hand their shields over to Mayor Ludlam, which they did last Sunday evening. It has always been customary to have at least one officer on duty at night, and many of the residents think Council has not acted wisely in leaving the city without a night man at least.
