The masts of the old schooner Weymouth came down with a crash Thursday afternoon. It was perfectly calm at the time, and what caused them to

fall is a mystery. BAKERSVILLE.

Walter Hickman, who has resided in this place over two years, removed his

family to Philadelphia last week.

Mrs. D. T. Steelman is slowly improving from a serious attack of nervous

prostration.

William H. Shick and wife, of Reading, Pa., made their annual visit with relatives in our village last week. The Atlantic county Christian Endeavor Union will hold its semi-annual convention at Central M. E. Church. An interesting programme has been prepared. Eminent State workers will

The Misses Lida and Rinah Adams spent Sunday in Bridgeport with relatives. The Misses Helen French and Roxa Higbee spent Sunday in Pleasantville with Vincent Lake's family. Our town is blessed with a blacksmith who does more in one day than previous blacksmith done in a week. Mrs. Tillie Dilks is visiting relatives in Port. Her family is an interesting one. Elmer Adams can show the best crop of sweet and round potatoes of any one in town. The centre of our town has been electrified by the most sensational gossip. Every place has its croaking gossipers, and ours is no exception. Those who have nothing else to talk about, no little patches to sew on nor buttons to replace no stockings to darn nor kitchen to sweep, must do something, so they talk about their neighbors. Mrs. Jane Blake, of Bridgeport, Conn., is visiting her relatives, of whom she has many in this place. It seems good to see the familiar form and face of "Captain John" around once more, and better still to know that he will remain at home in the future, letting younger men run the sea business. A bright illumination was noticed in the southern part of our town the other evening, which proved to be phosphorescent gas, but the superstitious predict that it is "the fore end of some runner." Vincent Lake and daughter Mabelle spent last Sunday with "Captain John" and family. George Leek improves so slowly that his friends sometimes fear he will never be fully restored to health. The finishing touches will soon be added to the two new houses.

ATLANTIC CITY.

A bullet which ploughed its way into the hip of Henry Behm, a well-known G. A. R. man of this city, during the late war, nearly caused his death on Thursday evening. Should he recover, it is probable that he will be almost totally paralyzed for life. Physicians stated that the bullet, in moving about in Behm's body, came in contact with a very sensitive nerve, causing immediate paralysis. An effort will be made to extract the bullet. The abduction theory has been advanced by the police in the case of Lizzie Bastel, a 14-year-old girl, employed by Vincent P. Donnelly, a Philadelphian, residing at 120 South Maryland avenue, who has been missing since Friday. There seems to be no clue to her whereabouts; at least the police have failed to discover any. During 1894, up to November 1, 7859 visitors had climbed to the top of the Atlantic City lighthouse. Of that number, 1290 registered during a week in August. Proprietor James Hood, of the Pennhurst, died Friday morning after a short illness. He was 69 years of age, and leaves a wife and two children. Mr. Hood has been a resident of this city for about fifteen years, coming here from Christiana, Lancaster county, Pa., where his remains were taken for interment. The attention of the police has been called to a number of small robberies committed along the Promenade the past few nights. Several slot machines have been robbed of their contents, and a number of bathing establishments have been visited. The thieves are believed to be boys.

The post-office was entirely out of two-cent stamps for several days last week. A new supply was ordered a month ago, but it has not yet been filled. There is much dissatisfaction. Joy to several households in this city was brought by the safe arrival of the fishing schooner Hartshorne, which had been given up for lost together with all on board. The schooner, almost a wreck, put into the Little Egg Harbor Inlet Saturday afternoon. Captain Daniel Adams, who resides in this city reports a tempestuous voyage. The schooner was caught in a gale and so roughly used that she began to leak badly. The crew deserted and compelled him to go to New York, where he shipped Swedish sailors, who assisted him in bringing the vessel here. Miss Eunice Littlepage is visiting her daughter, Mrs. William G. Lore, of Wayne, Delaware county. On her return home she will occupy her new residence, No. 27 States avenue.

An Important Movement. A meeting of the North Point cot-

tage owners looking toward the improvement of that section of the Island was held Thursday evening, November 1st, at the office of R. M. Thompson, 1010 Market street, Philadelphia. The following gentlemen were present: J. C. McAllister, Thomas P. Williams, Jesse Rapp, R. Rapp, B. M. Thompson, Dr. Charles P. Tuttle, Wm. Willoughby, Wm. Thegan, John Shallcross, J. D. Eberbach, Benjamin G. Barnett, F. D. Newberry. To further this object a permanent organization was formed under the title of "The North Point Association." The following officers and Board of Directors were elected: President, J. C. McAllister, Vice President, Jesse Rap, Secretary and Treasurer, F. D. Newberry. Board of Direc-tors--Robert M. Thompson, William Thegan, D. W. Bartine, M. D., Charles P. Tuttle, M. D.; Thomas P. Williams, J. D. Eberbach, W. A. Davis, M. D.; R. Rapp, J. C. McAllister, Wm. Willoughby, F. D Newberry and Jesse Rapp. After a free interchange of views in reference to the various improvements needed, it was decided to build a pavilion, the probable sight [sic] being about five hundred feet off West avenue. This will be built at the expense of the Association. Council will be petitioned to continue the boardwalk from First street and Ocean avenue to Second and Bay, and also to improve the bay front

approach to the city.

A committee was appointed to visit the city to learn what other improvements were needed and report at the next meeting, which will be held at 1010 Market street, Philadelphia, Friday evening, November 9th. Dr. Weston will be in his Dental office, Seventh street, east of Asbury avenue, November 9th and 10th, where he will be glad to see all requiring ser-

vices, either in the painless extraction of teeth, filling of teeth with gold, amalgam or cement, or the insertion of artificial plates.

REPUBLICAN SWEEP. The Republicans have swept the country. The following States have gone Republican either for Governor or Congress: Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Delaware, Iowa, Colorado, Kansas, California, Wyoming, Washington, Idaho, Nevada and Montana. It was a Republican avalanche. The Republicans have swept every Northern State with the possible exception of Nebraska. That seems to have been carried by the combined Democrats and Populists. Indiana gives a Republican majority. Ohio breaks all previous records and gallantly rolls up a Republican majority of 130,000 in vindication of protection. Illinois declares for the return of Shelby M. Cullom to the Senate. Even Delaware elects a Republican Legislature. The Republicans will have a majority of at least 66 in Congress. This may be increased by later returns. A Republican wave has swept over the State of New Jersey. The Republicans have elected seven of the eight Congressmen, thereby reversing the political complexion of the Congressional delegation. They have also elected four and possibly five of the six State Senators and probably three-quarters of the House of Assembly. This insures the election of a Republican United States Senator to succeed John R. Mc-

Pherson.

Harry C. Loudenslager has been elected to Congress from this district and John J. Gardner from the Second. Cape May county elects Hon. E. L. Ross to the Senate by 425 plurality and Furman L. Ludlam to the Assembly by about 500. E. L. Rice, Democrat, is elected County Clerk by 70 over James Shoemaker. The election in Atlantic county passed off very quietly, the Republicans elecing Wesley C. Smith to the Assembly by about 400 majority. Gardner, Rep., for Congress, received an increased majority. The Republicans also elected Sen[?] Coroner in the county. | | Money for the South Jersey. The Board of Directors of the South Jersey Railroad, on recommendation of a committee of bondholders and creditors, have adopted a resolution requesting the bondholders to assent to the application of Receiver Gowen for an issue of $50,000 certificates, to bear interest at not over six per cent., and to be sold at the best price available. The money thus raised will be used in repairs to track and roadway, the construction of sidings and stations, rentals of locomotives and the liquidation of debts already incurred and those to be

incurred.

Receiver Gowen thinks that the certificates will give him sufficient funds to tide over the worst, as the current receipts of the road from now on will, in his opinion, exceed the expenses, which have been materially reduced.

A Gruesome Relic. Captain J. S. Willets is the possessor of a unique relic, in the shape of a toy bank, made of a small cocoanut shell, and carved in the most elaborate manner. The color is black, and the figures of peculiar design stand out in bold relief against a background of tiny checkered squares. The aperture for receiving coins is the centre of a conventional flower of eighteen small petals overlying seven leaves of the Lily of the Nile. To the right is the figure of a woman a little over three inches in height with long, flowing hair. She is dressed in modern Spanish style, in a short, loose-fitting coat, with skirt lavishly trimmed with fringe and embroidery. In her right hand she carries a scroll upon which is inscribed "Un Reguerdo de Ulua" (the record of Ulua). To the left of the aperture stands another figured, arrayed in much the same manner, carrying in the left hand an animal resembling a lamb. On the opposite side of the shell, and between the two women, is the figure of a man in Mexican dress, from the broad-brimmed, sugar-loaf semple to the tips of his heavy boots. His face is turned toward the figure holding the scroll, and in his right hand he holds suspended by the tail, with the head touching the ground, a serpent upon whose writhing body are inscribed the words, "Vida Mia" (my life). His left hand is extended toward the figure holding the lamb. Upon one end of the shell is a conventional flower and upon the other end a round face 2½ inches in diameter, with a huge flat nose and hideously crossed eyes, the latter made from a pearl button. The thick lips are parted and display two rows of saw teeth and a red tongue. A mustache rolls away from the upper lip like the horns of a buffalo, and upon the chin is a pointed goatee. The work was executed by a murderer incarcerated within the walls of a Mexican dungeon, an underground hole infested with vermin and with the floor covered with slime and water. All that is known of the thoughts the artist-convict wished to convey is that the figures represent his victim, himself

and his wife.

This key of these odd symbols opens the door only to conjecture. The interpretation may be that the figure with the scroll is his wife, as it bears his name; the serpent represents intemperance, the vice which claimed his life; that he shed innocent blood by the presence of the lamb carried by his victim; the horrible face is his crime and the background his checkered life. The true key was held only, and will forever be retained, though it has long since lost its cunning, by the skilled hand that carved this strange device.

SHERIFF'S SALE. By virtue of a writ of Fieri Facias, to me directed, issued out of the Court of Chancery of the State of New Jersey, I will expose to sale at public vendue on SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1894, between the hours of twelve and five o'clock, to wit: at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of said day, at the Mayor's office, in Cape May City, New Jersey:
