Edward Brown's store, on Arctic avenue, below Missouri, was broken into last Wednesday night and goods valued at $50 were stolen. Suspicion points to a former employee, who left town hurriedly Thursday morning. It is known that he took a big bundle with him and it is believed that it contained

Foreman was given a hearing before Recorder John Gouldey in the afternoon and plead not guilty. In default of bail he was committed to jail. The players were held under bail as witnesses.

Should Mr. Steuben be found guilty the fines will amount to $500, or $20 for each rabbit.

Worthy of Consideration.

MR. EDITOR: Since this city is likely to be bonded to build a city hall would it not be a good plan to increase the amount of bonded indebtedness enough to cover the floating debts of the city? There is some six or seven thousand dollars of floating debts in notes or bills, carried by banks or individuals, for which the city is paying six per cent. interest, which, if it was in the shape of bonds, might be carried for three, or not more than four, per cent.; and it would put this indebtedness out of the

way of the tax levied for borough improvements. It is impossible, under the Act of Legislature by which we are incorporated, to levy a tax sufficient to pay off these local obligations and make

the necessary street improvements that are so much needed, and pay the other expenses that occur from year to year.

The income from taxes is but a little over $8000 for borough purposes, and it takes nearly one-half of that, or $3600 per year, to pay for light and water,

and after deducting what it costs the city for running expenses, salaries, etc., there is not much left for street or other

improvements. Now, it seems to me, it would be a good thing if these floating debts could be absorbed by bonds.

The borough would save in interest, and have all the taxes, after deducting running expenses, to pay for necessary improvements of a permanent nature.

A TAXPAYER.

Raised Funds to Press Their Suit. A number of members of the families of Schellengers, Thompsons, Hughes, Stevenses, Rosemans, Bennetts, Leamings, Townsends and Hands, who reside in Cape May county and who are descendants of William Skillinks (now

Schellenger), held a meeting last Saturday night and raised by subscription a sum toward sustaining legal proceeding for the possession of that portion of Philadelphia known as Southwark. The territory embraced contains about three and a half square miles between Christian street and League Island and

Broad street and the Delaware.

Cape May Against Consolidation. The new judiciary bill of Senator Voorhees meets with approval in Cape May excepting that portion which applies to making Cape May and Cumberland Counties one district. The prominent residents of Cape May want a judge of their own, and advance as their argument that the salary now paid for Lay Judges and cash paid for prisoners' keeping from the time of one court to that of another would not be as much as the salary of a Law Judge at $1500

per year.

It seems hardly possible, but nevertheless it is true, that on an average

every fifty-fifth person you meet wears W. L. Douglas shoes. Did you ever

realize what an immense undertaking it is to supply one article of wearing apparel to over one million people? We do all kinds of Painting. Graining and Sign Work a specialty. B. R. Smith & Sons, 1046 Asbury avenue. FOR SALE.--Ocean City, N. J., Eight -roomed cottage, Central, on the main business street; just the place for a clothing, shoe and hat store; lot 30x100; store room, 16x25 feet. Inquire of C. M. Wert, Hardware store, No. 713 Asbury avenue, Ocean City, N. J.--Cheap. I have on hand several small cottages which I will trade for lots located between Sixth and Twelfth streets, Ocean City. I also have some good building lots on which I will erect cottages for any one wishing to invest in a home by the sea. Terms reasonable, and first mortgages taken on the properties when desired. Correspondence solicited.
