ATLANTIC COUNTY GLEANINGS. News Notes Gathered Through the Villages for the "Sentinel."

MAY'S LANDING.

The commencement exercises of the Atlantic county public schools, which were postponed from last June, will be held in the May's Landing Opera

House on December 14.

The poor box at the Methodist Epis-

copal Church, at Clarktown, has been robbed on three different occasions, and the church people are up in arms.

SOMERS' POINT.

Mrs. Mark Somers and children and Mrs. Charles Steelman are visiting at

Green Creek.

Miss Lillie Lewis, daughter of Benjamin Lewis, and Charles Hilton were married on Thursday last at the residence of the bride's parents by Rev.

Walter Percy.

A very successful revival is being conducted by Rev. Joseph Austerberry at Friendship church.

LINWOOD.

Miss Carrie Risley is taking a three

weeks' vacation.

George Myers and family are in Atlantic City, where they went to attend the funeral of Mr. Myers' father. Revival services were begun in Central Church Sunday evening. The conundrum supper was a success, netting over $35. Mrs. Lewis Steelman spent Friday in Philadelphia. Mark Mason, who died very suddenly on Friday last, was buried on Monday in Zion Cemetery. ATLANTIC CITY. The Golden Eagles attended service Sunday at Christ M. P. Church. The Shelburne is being greatly im-

proved.

Dr. T. K. Reed and wife will spend

the winter in Florida. The Junior Christian Endeavor So-

ciety of the First Baptist church gave a cobweb social Tuesday evening.

Rev. C. K. Fleming, of Smith's Landing, occupied the pulpit of the new M. E. church on Sunday.

The ladies of the St. Monica's church gave a supper Tuesday evening to raise funds for introducing heat into the church.

George Myers, the senior member of the firm of George Myers & Sons, proprietors of the Union Market, one of the largest business houses in this city, died Sunday morning, aged 65 years. Mr. Myers was born in Gratzingen, Wurtemberg, Germany, in 1830, and came to America in 1848. He was a butcher in Philadelphia until 1876, when he came to this city. He leaves a wife, six sons and two daughters. The deceased was a large owner of real estate.

Seventy-five residents of the Fourth ward have petitioned City Council to grant no more saloon licenses for that ward.

Three dwelling houses, at Pennsylvania and Baltic avenues, owned by Louis Kuehnle, with their contents, were destroyed by fire at 1 o'clock Sunday morning, involving a loss of $3000. The fire started in the shoemaker shop of William Harris, and quickly spread to the adjoining buildings, wich [sic] did service as the Pennsylvania Avenue Station on the Baltic avenue extension of the Atlantic City Railroad. The flames were also communicated to the residence of George Gibson.

Engineer George Filmore, of the Atlantic City Sewerage Company, was stricken with hemorrhages a few days ago, and died Sunday night.

PORT REPUBLIC. The family of E. D. French are contemplating a residence in Philadelphia during the winter. Rev. Ashley Cake arrived home from Scranton, where he has ben visiting his sister, Mrs. Dr. Rice. His wife has been making a prolonged visit in Scranton, Pittston and various places in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, but returned with her husband. Mr. Cake has been appointed to the pastoral charge here pro tempore. The scandal which so recently electrified this and other communities is fast dying out preparatory to another, which ere long will burst forth with redoubled fury. Such things are very much to be regretted, not only for their influence upon the church but to a greater extent than can be appreciated by parents, does it harm the minds and morals of our children. Shame be to those parents who discuss a scandal of such a nature in the presence of their babes, as one may say. A sermon that should waken parents to a realizing sense of the baneful influences that such discussions have upon children of older growth, also, should be preached from the pulpit, and then practice what is preached. We are pleased to be able to say that Mrs. Henry Bates is recovering from a painful nervous attack. While we regret very much that Richard Bates has left Port, we are pleased to say that Captain Henry Bowen and wife have taken his house and will try to make Richard and wife's loss felt as little as possible. It is said that Mr. Dare and family will leave Port this week. The necessity for such a change is very much deplored. Our community has learned to appreciate and love the quiet, ladylike manner and truly Christian character of Mrs. Dare. All join in an earnest prayer that the future may bring more happiness into her life than the past ever has. Captain W. L. Blake is again at home. He reports a rough time around Cape Cod, but an able seaman like himself can always look ahead to a safe harbor at last. Mr. and Mrs. York was made glad last week by a visit from their youngest child.

PLEASANTVILLE. Captain L. C. Lake, of the schooner William K. Park, was presented with a cane Saturday evening by the captains of the schooners in port and other friends. The presentation occurred at the office of Newton Bros. & Co., Market street, Philadelphia, and was the occasion of a genuine surprise. Captain Hammet, of the Sarah W. Lawrence, made the presentation speech, and in a few well-chosen words told Captain Lake of the high esteem in which he is held by his brother officers. Captain Lake responded in a touching manner. He then invited the company to partake of his hospitality at an up-town restaurant, where a very pleasant evening was passed. The cane is of highlypolished white wood, with ivory head, on which was carved a full rigged schooner. It also bore the captain's name. Among those present were Captain Norton, of the schooner John M. Moore; Captain Richardson, of the John Stroup; Captain Wilson, of the Leander V. Beebe; Captain Bennett, of the Blanche H. King; Captain Corson, of the Frank P. Lee; Captain Perkins, of the tug Piscatauqua; Captain Hoty, of the Howell W. Band, M. Newton,

and others.

Doings of the Commissioners of Appeal.

The Commissioners of Appeal in case of taxation met in Steelman's Hall on

Tuesday.

Wm. Lake asked for information rel-

ative to the exemption of active members of the Ocean City Volunteer Fire

Company. The matter was left with the Collector for adjustment.

A reduction of $200 on the assessment

of Walter H. Hayes' property was made --$100 on the Atlantic Villa and $100 on the cottage at Fourth and Ocean avenues. Mrs. J. R. Adams applied for $500 exemption on the ground of being a soldier's widow. Her papers were straight, and the secretary was instructed to correspond with collector at Pleasantville and ascertain if exemption has been al-

lowed in that borough; if not, to grant the application.

A reduction of $100 was made on assessment of lots No. 303, Sec. D, and No. 627, Sec. C.

Sixteen lots in the unknown list were transferred to the West Jersey Railroad Company.

The assessment on the Lafayette was reduced $200. Adjourned.

Official Changes in the S. J. R. R. Radical changes are reported as about to take place in the office staff of the South Jersey Railroad. Receiver McGowan has issued an order, to take effect December 1st, discontinuing the offices of General Manager, General Passenger Agent and Superintendent, held respectively by James F. Taylor,

H. Milton Kennedy and W. G. Christian.

These several offices will be merged

into one, managed by Henry B. Wood, to whom employees of the several de-

partments are ordered to report. The reduction in the official force of the company is made in the interests of economy.

Killing Deer in Jersey.

The season for killing deer opened Monday morning, and hundreds of sportsmen are now engaged in the

thrilling sport. Two deed were killed before nine o'clock by a party of Philadelphians near Doughty's tavern, in the pine belt. The opening of the deer season in this State is an event of interest to more people than the sportsmen who will seek the pine belt of South Jersey in pursuit of deer.

Water Plants Appraised.

The Commission, comprising ex-Gov-ernor Ludlow, of New Brunswick; Charles G. Roebling, of Trenton, and Edlow W. Harrison, of Jersey City, appointed by the Supreme Court to appraise the value of Atlantic City's water plants, met Thursday and took testimony. William Boardman, an expert employed by the company, submitted estimates to show that the two plants, which Expert Inman has offered to duplicate for less than $650,000, are really worth from $1,000,000 to $1,090,000. The companies, it is claimed, have based their estimates on the theory that

they have an absolute monopoly.

In rebuttal of the above testimony produced by the combined companies to prove that they have an absolute monopoly, Engineer Yocum, of Camden, Friday testified that the municipality could built a plant at Port Republic for $525,000, with double the capacity of the two local plants, which,

it is claimed, are worth $1,000,000.

Reunited After Many Years. A remarkable meeting occurred in Atlantic City Thursday, between Miss Annie and Miss Hannah Sproul, two maiden ladies, well on in years, who live on Arkansas avenue, and Joseph Sproul, a brother, who had just returned from Australia, after 59 years of separation. In 1837 Sproul left his home in Ireland for England and the others of the family came to this country. He patented an irrigating machine and went to Australia, but the machines proved a failure, and he returned to England, where he was for years a professor in a college. Finally, hearing that his two sisters were still alive, he determined to spend the remainder of his days with them. Unlike their brother, the two ladies have been very successful in financial matters, and own much valuable real estate.

The terms of Councilmen York, Hand and Stevens expires in the spring. Recorder Williams' time is also out at that date.

A Disabled Craft. An unknown schooner, with tore masthead, main topmast and jib boom carried away, anchored off this city at an early hour Tuesday morning. During the afternoon a signal for a tug was hoisted, but none appeared until yesterday morning, when it proceeded on its way to Philadelphia in tow.
