Atlantic County Criminal Court. Judge Thompson, in the Atlantic county Court, last Wednesday afternoon, imposed sentences upon the following.

Mrs. Elizabeth Brockman, selling liquor without a license at Atlantic

City, thirty days in the County Jail and fined $50 and costs.

Elwood Osborne, breaking and enter-

ing the bathing establishment of George

W. Jackson at Atlantic City and the robbery of goods therefrom, two years in State prison and Court costs. Giovanna B. Bubocall, a Hammonton

Italian, convicted on the charge of rape, five years in State prison.

Philip Payne, an Atlantic City lad,

for petit larceny, was sent to the Re-

form School.

Jennie Washington, larceny of goods, the property of Mrs. Joseph Ryan, of Atlantic City, four months in the

County Jail and costs.

Adolph Morstadt, selling liquor without a license at Atlantic City, thirty days in the County Jail and fined $50

and costs.

John Bobbitt, atrocious assault and battery, two years in State Prison and

costs.

John H. Hall, larceny of a bicycle, three months in the County Jail and costs.

Letitia Earle, assault and battery, fined $5 and costs.

In the case of Leonard Williams, convicted of the larceny of harness from the store of A. P. Johnson, of At-

lantic City, the Court suspended sentence.

Minnie Wiegel, Minnie Burnett and Dolly Shaw, who were indicted at the September session of the County Courts on the charge of maintaining disorderly house at Atlantic City and who plead guilty to the charges, were sentenced to thirty days in the County Jail and to pay a fine of $100 and costs. In pronouncing sentence Judge Thompson warned the prisoners never to come before the Court again. His Honor said the Court took into consideration the fact that they pleaded guilty, and that their action in this particular saved the county considerable expense; that the Court upon this occasion would show leniency. He would not send them to State Prison as was his privilege, but imposed this light sentence. His Honor further warned the prisoners that if they again opened their houses off North Carolina avenue, Atlantic City, or anywhere else for that matter within the jurisdiction of the Court, for immoral purposes, they would be sentenced to State Prison. The jury in the case of Irving C. Minford, charged with embezzling moneys belonging to John G. Shreve, editor of the Atlantic City Review, returned a verdict of not guilty. The defence admitted the collection of the money as charged by the State, but denied any intention to defraud, as the alleged embezzled funds had been admitted as a debt for a year and promises to pay had been repeatedly made. Edward Burg, convicted on the charge of stealing a span of horses from the livery stable of John B. Champion, at Atlantic City, was remanded to the custody of the Cumberland county authorities for trial on a similar charge. Should Burg escape conviction in the Cumberland Courts the prisoner will be returned to Atlantic City for sentence.

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION. The Scenes Witnessed in the First M. E. Church Monday Evening--The Building Handsomely Decorated. The interior handsomely decorated with greens and colored electric lights, a sea of faces upon which were depicted the joyous feelings which welled up in the hearts of those who came as spectators and actors in the entertainment given Christmas eve in the First M. E. Church by the Sunday-school scholars in commemoration of the birth of Christ, trees from which depended numerous articles intended as presents, pyramids of boxes containing candy and oranges in profusion were some of the enlivening scenes which greeted one as they entered the main audience room of the church. When the appointed hour arrived the exercises were opened with an organ voluntary by Miss Mabel Corson. Then Rev. L. O. Manchester, the pastor, offered prayer, which was followed by singing by the school, Mrs. E. A. Bourgeois presiding at the organ, assisted by W. E. Massey, cornet, and Mrs. A. E. Newkirk, violin. Lurene Campbell, Lindin Ang, Amy Thorn, Bertha Sampson, Minnie Sharp, Lottie Steelman and Cora Somers recited in a highly creditable manner and were rewarded with applause. The infant class, under the leadership of their teacher, Miss Lizzie Kates, appeared in song. S. Kalbach and B. Smith rendered a dialogue. A very pretty feature of the entertainment was the "Songs of Adoration," in which a number of young girls and boys appeared. When this part of the programme had been concluded, Rev. Manchester was called upon for an address. In responding, the reverend gentleman, who is in hearty sympathy with the young, evidently carried back by Memory to the scenes of other days, addressed himself directly to the scholars, imparting

wholesome advice.

The distribution of presents now took place. When the last present had been delivered, Rev. Manchester came forward, and in a few words presented Mrs. H. G. Steelman with an envelope containing gold, which, the speaker said, was but a slight token of appreciation of the services rendered by the lady as organist and leader of the church choir. Each scholar received a half pound of candy and an orange. Much of the success of the undertaking was due to the untiring efforts of Miss Lizzie Kates, who is always ready and willing to train the little folks who performed the major part of the entertainment and did it so creditably that their training is worthy of mention. The electric display, which was under the management of Harry Kalbach, superintendent of the Electric Light Company, was an important feature of the entertainment and added much to

the scenic effect.

Jr. O. U. A. M. Officers. Iota Council, No. 126, Jr. O. U. A. M., of this city, elected the following officers last evening: Junior Past Councillor, Ira S.

Improvements.

A number of improvements have been made since the season closed. The Brighton has been enlarged and improved by a new roof. The Illinois is being doubled in size. A wing is being added to the Hotel Strand. From twenty-five to thirty new building contracts are under way. All the mechanics are busy, and the indications are good for a splendid season next year. The West Jersey Railroad is having three large steamers built to ply between Ocean City and Longport. They will be speedy and comfortable.--Temper-

ance Gazette.

I am prepared to furnish a first-class red brick guaranteed to withstand the frost or climatic changes, which has no superior in the market at the present time for use in paving. Not only are they a superior article, but the cost is much less than those of other brands now in use in our town. YOUNGS CORSON.

Accident on the South Jersey. A terrible accident occurred on the South Jersey Railroad at Richmond shortly after 9 o'clock Sunday night, when the south bound Cape May express, Engineer William Tomlinson and Conductor William Laycock, struck a carriage containing Mrs. William D. Lewis, her daughter Mary and son John, aged 16 and 14, respectively, Mrs. David J. Jones and daughter Mary, aged 15, instantly killing Mrs. Lewis and son and Miss Mary Jones, the other two escaping by jumping. The party were returning home from church, and after stopping for a short time at the residence of friends to big them goodbye proceeded on their journey. The young boy was driving, and on nearing the railroad crossing, owing to a sharp curve just above the crossing, failed to notice the approach of the train, which came thundering on at a high rate of speed, and just as the wagon was upon the track the train struck it, cutting it in two. As the train struck the wagon Mrs. Jones leaped from the front and Mary Lewis from the rear of the wagon, escaping injury. Their cries soon brought to the scene a number of people, and after a few moments they discovered the body of Mrs. Lewis lying partly in a trench over 100 feet away, and next her son was found lying upon the opposite side of the track, a few feet from her. The body of Miss Jones was not discovered until the train, which had proceeded 500 yards before it was stopped, backed to the crossing. The young girl was found lying upon the pilot, pinned down by the debris. The horse escaped injury and ran on to his home. Parts of the vehicle and harness and parcels belonging to the unfortunate victims were strewn along on both sides of the track for 300 yards. The bodies were removed to a near-by house, and, Monday afternoon, were viewed by County Physician Lewis R. Souders, of Atlantic City, and Coroner George Senft, of Egg Harbor City. The inquest took place yesterday. The place where the accident occurred is regarded as very dangerous, and the railroad company has not even a signboard to warn the traveller of danger.

The License Refused. The rumor current on the streets that Proprietor John Albertson was refused a license by the Cape May County Court for his Star Hotel at Tuckahoe is without foundation. Mr. Albertson did not make application at the late session of the said Courts for a liquor license.--May's Landing Record. The Record is misinformed. Mr. Albertson did make application, but he was a day late and the Court refused to entertain it. He also engaged lawyer P. T. Hildreth to look after it, but without avail.

Pastor Harris will begin revival meetings next week in the M. E. church. Miss Mary D. Ludlam is in Missouri on an extended visit. Our Sunday-schools treated their scholars this week, the Methodists on Monday evening and the Baptists last night. At the latter Rev. W. G. Robinson gave a stereopticon entertainment. WILDWOOD. The artesian well, on which men have been working since last June, is completed. At 954 feet a flow of excellent water was found, but, as it only ran about fifteen gallons to the minute, the well was driven further, with the expectation of finding a greater flow. In this they were disappointed, and when a stream of briny bitterness was found at 1254 feet it was decided to use the first flow struck. It is probable that another well will at once be driven in order to find a sufficient quantity to supply the resort at all times. CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE. Watch meeting services will be held in the Baptist church New Year's eve, at which time revival services will begin. Miss Gertie Whilldin is spending a season with her parents. A number of Free Masons, now affiliated with Cannon Lodge, 104, F. and A. M., at South Seaville, and Cape Island Lodge, of Cape May City, are arranging for the organization of a Masonic Lodge at this place. The South Jersey Railroad Company is arranging for the erection of a new passenger station. An owl train has been added to the schedule, leaving Cape May at 9.15 o'clock on Saturday nights and Philadelphia at 8.15 on Sunday nights. CAPE MAY CITY. Sheriff Hand has advertised the Stockton Hotel to be sold on January 27th next. The complainants are the West Jersey Railroad Company, which holds a mortgage of $60,000 on the property, and John F. Betz, of Philadelphia, who holds a chattel mortgage on the furniture for $25,000. The Stockton was built in 1869 at a cost of $600,000. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company owned it until ten years ago. F. Theodore Walton has been the owner for six years, and he is the obligator in this case. The hotel sold for $90,000 at the last sale. The Quarterly Conference of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of this city has unanimously asked for the return, by the Annual Conference, of the Rev. Eli Gifford for another year. His labors at the Cape May Church for the past year have been successful in relieving the church from what might have been serious financial embarrassment. SEA ISLE CITY. Mayor Ludlam is building an addition to his residence. A. G. Rice has rented a cottage at the corner of Italia and Brewster streets and will take occupancy of the same next week. Alterations and repairs are being made to Peterson's Hotel. The front of the store of A. G. Rice & Co. has been improved by an application of paint. The taxpayers and residents held a meeting in Ludlam's Hall on Saturday night for the purpose of discussing the water works question. The ordinance which is now in the hand of City Council, and which was recently passed to its first reading by that body was read. The general opinion was favorable to having water works, and the ordinance, with a few amendments attached, will no doubt be favorable to the residents of Sea Isle City. The Philadelphians who propose expending from $50,000 to $75,000 in building the plant were present and explained that they were endeavoring to improve and build up Sea Isle City by furnishing the resort with improvements that will commend it to the public.
