Ocean City's Building Boom. Ocean City is having another building boom. Last year there were sixty buildings erected, and more than half that number are now contracted for. Everything points toward increasing prosperity at this temperance and Christian resort. The Pennsylvania Railroad will run their own boats from the pier at the foot of Second street to Longport, to connect with the trolley from Atlantic City, and for this threemile ferry they are having built three first-class steamboats that will be modern and adapted to this important pleasure trip. God has wonderfully blessed the place with a gracious revival. "God honors them that honors Him." --Epworth Advocate.

Argument in the Water-Works Case.

Supreme Court Justice Reed, sitting in Camden Saturday, heard argument on the report of the commissioners appointed to assess the value of the Wood and Consumers' water plants at Atlantic City. Two years ago the companies offered to sell their works to the city for $700,000, but afterwards raised the figures to $1,000,000. The price was considered exorbitant and commissioners were appointed to assess the value. They reported in favor of $843,000. The city had the right to appeal from the report during the term of court at which the commissioners are appointed. The commissioners rendered the report late at night on December 10th last, and the appeal was taken the next day. A new term of court commenced on December 11th, and a question has been raised as to the legality of the appeal. No decision was rendered.

Personally Conducted Tours to Washington, D. C., via P. R. R. There is probably no place that offers so much in the way of sightseeing and other things of general interest as Washington, D. C. Apart from being the Nation's Capital, the magnificent Government Buildings and beautifullyplanned streets and public parks make

it well worth a visit.

The series of three-day tours arranged by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, under its perfect personally-con-ducted tourist system, gives every one an opportunity to visit Washington under most favorable circumstances and

at a very reasonable cost.

The tours leave New York on January 17th, and at intervals of three weeks until May 23, 1895, inclusive. The rates including accommodations at Washington's best hotels, are $13.50 from New York and $11.50 from Philadelphia; proportionate rates from other points. Detailed itinerary will be sent on application to Tourist Agent, 1196 Broadway, New York, or Room 411, Broad Street Station, Philadelphia.

Special Term of Court. Judges Thompson, Byrnes and Senseman presided at a special term of the Atlantic county Courts on Friday in Odd Fellows' Hall, Atlantic City. Lawyer Curley, of Camden, asked Judge Thompson to release Minnie Weigle, who is serving a sentence of thirty days in the county jail for keeping a disorderly house, on the ground that her health was in danger. The Judge said the case was beyond his jurisdiction. William Irons applied for papers to administer the estate of his wife, Rebecca Irons, but her son, Walter A. Tweed, who is the sole heir at law, opposed the motion and the case was con-

tinued.

Judgment below was reversed in the case of Van Buren vs. E. H. Miles, and judgment for $10 and costs, was given in the case of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals vs. John

Forrest.

Judgment below was reversed in the case of Giffen, Rauffenhart & Co. vs. William Bowler. Another special term will be held on January 11th.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, January 7, 1895. FASHIONABLE FURS The more you know of Fur values the more you will be astonished at the littleness of Fur prices here. And there's nothing in the stock but the freshest, choicest Furs, newly made, in the height of style. Women's Thibet Scarfs, 1½ yds. long, are $2 instead of $6. That's about the price-value angle all around.

BLACK DRESS GOODS Like a touch of rosin to a fiddle bow to get littler prices on any of the Black Dress Goods--they're so well below the retail market already.

COLORED DRESS GOODS Cost of production, cost of importation--neither of them signify. Never mind what the stuffs have been, the are is the crucial point. Finest English, French, German weaves are counted in. And not a yard of them that has long been in the store!

Destruction of the Holly Tree. The city demand for Christmas decorations is having the unfortunate effect of denuding the New Jersey forest of holly trees. The trees and branches are shipped cityward by the car-load and every year the search for the holly is pushed further and further into the forest recesses and away from the centres where it formerly grew in abun-

dance.

It cannot be long before the holly tree will have disappeared if something is not done to check its destruction. Already the berry-bearing trees are hard to find. The holly is one of the most beautiful of our native trees and it is especially beautiful in winter when its richly colored foliage and brilliantly colored berries stand out in contrast to

the prevailing sombreness of nature's shades.

Aside from its beauty the uses of the holly should spare it from wholesale destruction. The wood is of the highest class for interior finish and turnery, but the trees are rarely now permitted to attain a size sufficient to make the wood

available for building purposes. The land owners and authorities of New Jersey see their water-power going to waste, their game destroyed and their forest denuded of their best and most beauti-

ful trees with equal indifference.

If you want to sell your lots quick list them with W. E. Massey & Co. Bar-

gains constantly on hand.

TO THE REPUBLICAN AND INDEPENDENT VOTERS OF OCEAN CITY. Be it known that a permanent organization known as the Ocean City Republican Club, with headquarters in Howell's Hall, has been established for the promulgation of Republican principles and the solidifying of the Republican strength at the ballot box at every election to be held in Ocean City. With the evidence before us of a large Republican majority at each election, we fail to see any benefits arising therefrom to the party either in municipal or county affairs so far as we are concerned, and in order to sustain our just claims to recognition in the representation of our town we have formed this organization. We desire to have the co-operation and assistance of all loyal Republicans and any others who may deem it wisdom to join our ranks, where the cardinal principle is that the majority shall rule and no boss dictation.

Application may be made to the Secretary or any member for membership.

To suit the opportunities of all applicants we have three degrees of membership--Active, Honorary and Contributive--the relationship of which will be cheerfully explained to all who propose to join. By order of The Club, I. S. CHAMPION, Secretary.
