At a meeting of City Council Monday night the park ordinance was passed, which gives the city the power to condemn and take possession of the entire beach front from the inside of the boardwalk. The First Presbyterian Church will elect a pastor on November 18th. A vacancy has existed since Rev. William Aikman tendered his resignation several months ago. The sea has made noticeable inroads near the foot of Illinois avenue, and the beach front owners will build a 300foot stone jetty to protect the strand at that point. The stone jetties constructed several years ago by the Government at the upper end of the island, to protect

the lighthouse from the encroaching

sea, have proven successful, causing the

accretion of several hundred feet of beach.

While Mrs. William Stewart, of 1306 Baltic avenue, was washing clothes with lye water Saturday morning, Julia, her seven-months-old daughter, who was sitting in a high chair close to the tub, fell into the mixture and was terribly burned. It is thought that the child will lose her sight.

Major George T. Ingham, acting as

referee before whom testimony was

taken in the suit of Tax Collector Stokes to recover from this city $1222, has rendered his report to the Court for final action at the December term. The Major recommends the payment in full of the amount, with the court expenses

added.

The city will pay Frank M. Martin $4726 for removing garbage during the next year. Magistrate Robert Young, of this city, was stricken dead by heart disease Friday as he rose from the dinner table, around which were seated the members of his family. Deceased was 70 years old and had been enjoying his usual health up to the moment of his sudden death. He was serving his second term as Justice of the Peace and was elected on the Democratic ticket, of which party he was a prominent member. Several robberies have been committed the past few nights, but the police thus far have failed to apprehend the thieves. An entrance to a dwelling at Inlet Amusement Park was effected, and a whole suit of bedroom furniture and $100 worth of linen were carried off. Bradford Wright's stable was depleted of a lot of harness. Miss Mary MacDonald, aged 40 years, of Philadelphia, a well-known cottager here, died Saturday evening of heart disease. She was a sister of John MacDonald, a wealthy retired wholesale grocer who resides at 2028 Green street, Philadelphia. | | A Mute Burglar. Charles Krockel, the 18-year-old mute who was arrested in Camden last week for burglary, is none other than the famous youth who has picked his way out of more than one prison cell. The youthful burglar was born and raised in Atlantic county, and is well known in police circles, having been before the Courts frequently. Although his parents were respectable, Charles soon manifested a desire for thieving, which soon resulted in his being arrested and sent to jail. With the years of early youth his operations assumed a larger scope. When detected, his youth and his unfortunate condition aroused such sympathy that the hand of the law was laid kindly on him, more to direct and admonish than to chastise. Repeated offenses lead to judicial punishment and Krockel was confined in various reformatories. Without exception he escaped, how no one was able to tell. Subsequently he was confined in the jail at May's Landing and other institutions. "Love laughs at locksmiths," and so does young Krockel. No cell seems able to hold him, and though he invariably succeeds in releasing himself from confinement it is not always that he makes good his escape.

Among the police officials of this State he acquired the reputation of being able to pick any lock ever made. For a long time no clue to his method could be obtained by the police, but the discovery of false soles in his shoes gave the suggestion that possible he carried saws or skeleton keys in them.

Krockel was last confined in the Trenton jail, but as his cell was constantly watched his escape was impossible. When arrested in Camden last week he wore a suit such as is presented to inmates of the prison upon their discharge. In the pockets he had matches and a candle, towel, soap, copper nails and a memoranda book, containing various addresses in Philadelphia and Camden, supposed to be the places he intended to visit professionally. The confirmed lock-picker and burglar is a lanky youth. He has a death-like pallor and appears to be a person whose only mission on earth is to cheat the undertaker. His appearance would indicate that it is but a short time before death will put an end to his criminal career.

JOHN McALEESE, Agt. H. GERLACH.

A True Fish Story. No wonder that our worthy friend, C. N. Shaner, the genial conductor of the Middle Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, was surprised at the fishing at Ocean City, and no doubt he carried home to his friends an incredulous story (fishy but true) about the big haul he helped to make last Saturday

afternoon.

Mr. Shaner was the guest of Captain Lewis Risley, and after dinner on Saturday last he experienced a wish to have a few fish to take home to Harrisburg, Pa., with him on the afternoon train. Captain Risley thought he would try and accommodate his friend, and together they started for the fishing grounds. They made but one haul, and caught by actual count 835 mullet, beside any quantity of small fry, such as Cape May goodies. It was a sight to witness Mr. Shaner's astonishment when he began to realize the extent of the catch. With dilated eyes he exclaimed, "My heavens! Captain, have you caught all of them?" and not being rigged in regulation style for fishing he pulled off his shoes and stockings and over he went into the water to help, and he worked with a will in assisting to take the fish from the net and load them into the boat. He repeatedly exclaimed, "Well, I've heard of fishing, but I never saw anything to

beat this."

This should go to show the friends of Ocean City and others who think there are so many better places to fish that Ocean City can at least sometimes come to the front in fishing.

Abandoned at Sea.

The bark George W. Sweeney, which left Philadelphia for Galveston October 3d, was abandoned at sea October 14th, while lying south of Cape Hatteras.

The news was received Friday by D. S. Stetson & Co., agents and part owners of the bark. The dispatch was to the effect that the ship had been abandoned while sinking, October 11th. The crew had been carried to Liverpool.

The cablegram was from Captain Isaac F. Hewitt and asked for $200 for transportation home for the crew of ten. The money was cabled by Mr. Stetson. The bark was built at May's Landing in 1876. She was 150 feet long with a registered tonnage of 646. Captain Hewitt was her managing owner, with [?] quarter interest. She carried on it seven hundred tons of coal. She has always been a profitable ship to her owners. She was valued at $50,000 and her loss is partially insured.

The Atlantic county owners in the vessel are Captains Daniel Gifford and Shepherd S. Hudson, of May's Landing, Judge Joseph Scull and Japhet Champion, of Scullville.

We do all kinds of Painting. Graining and Sign Work a specialty. B. R. Smith & Sons, 1046 Asbury avenue.

A Rare Marine Animal. A sea hare, a marine animal, speci-

mens of which have never before been found in this latitude, was found at Cape May one day last week by Henry Lemman. Mr. Lemman was fishing

in the thoroughfare and caught it in his net. The sea hare was unknown to the fishermen of the locality, who thought it belonged to the cuttle-fish family, as it emitted from a sack on the under side fluid of a red and black color. The specimen, which weighs about 2½ pounds, has been presented to the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, and will be exhibited in a live state in the museum for a few days for the benefit of visitors. A member of the Academy has furnished the following description of the

specimen:

Aphysia, or, as it is commonly called, the sea hare, is a mollusk allied to the snails and slugs, but living in the sea and feeding on marine vegetation. Its shell is rudimentary and internal, the body being protected by a fleshy lobe or flap on each side. The head has four tentacles. The eyes are very small. Species of aphysia have been found in Bermuda and Florida, but never before on the Jersey coast. This specimen, therefore, extends the range about one thousand miles. In ancient times aphysia was supposed to be poisonous, and to cause baldness to any one handling them, but they are now known to be perfectly harmless. | | Parties contemplating having their houses moved to new locations, or elevated and rebuilt will save money by corresponding with Abel D.
