OCEAN CITY SENTINEL.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1895.

We shall be glad to receive items of news and communications of interest to this community and our readers everywhere. All communications should be accompanied with the full name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publication, but a guarantee of good faith.

LOCAL NEWS. City Council will meet in regular session to-morrow evening. A. F. Ervin and wife, of Philadelphia, were here a few days last week. How many individuals in Ocean City will be "touched" by the Income Tax. William Bridgewater, of Philadel-

phia, came down on Monday to remain a few days.

When you see a lot of fellows in a corner with their heads together, that's

spring politics.

Benjamin Newkirk was summoned to the bedside of his father, who is dangerously ill, Monday.

Jesse V. H. Rapp, who is spending the winter in Philadelphia, occupied his cottage here a few days last week. R. M. Coleman, of Philadelphia, has sold a lot on Wesley avenue, between

Sixth and Seventh streets, to A. F. Ervin.

Youngs Corson has sold for John

Rathien two lots on Asbury avenue, between Second and Third streets, to John

B. Christian.

The February meeting of the Ocean

City Building and Loan Association will be held Saturday evening next in

Steelman's Hall.

Mrs. H. D. Levering, of Philadelphia, is spending a season with friends in this city. Mr. Levering was here Saturday

night and Sunday.

J. N. Johnson has the contract for doing the plumbing work in Mrs. Lewis' cottage, to be erected on Central avenue, south of Ninth street. J. P. Fox, of Salem, has rented one of J. R. Kendrick's Asbury avenue stores, south of Eighth street, through the agency of R. Curtis Robinson. A. F. Ervin, of Philadelphia, has contracted with G. P. Moore for the erection of a handsome cottage on Wesley avenue, south of Sixth street. Contractor G. P. Moore has gone to West Chester, Pa., on business. He will extend his trip to Atglen, where he will visit friends for a few days. Harry Headley has been awarded the contract for the mason work on the new building to be erected at the corner of Ninth street and Central avenue. The steamer Ocean City, which has been plying between Ocean City and Longport since the close of the season, was taken off Friday and laid up at

Tuckahoe.

Assessor Reuben Ludlam was summoned to Townsend's Inlet on Tuesday by the death of his father, which sad event occurred on Monday evening. Mr. Ludlam buried his mother about five weeks ago. Nothing can equal the gall of the subscriber who sends his paper back through the post-office marked "refused," with never a word about the amount which he owes the patient publisher for several years of entertainment, instruction and amusement which the paper has af-

forded him.

Leander S. Corson was Thursday awarded the contract for building a large boarding house at the corner of Ninth street and Central avenue for Spencer Goff. The house will be ten feet larger than the one Mr. Corson is building at Seventh and Central for the Misses Young. The cold wave which swooped down upon Ocean City Saturday afternoon seems to have come to stay. The thermometer marked 3° below zero yesterday, with indications of still colder weather. This is the most protracted stay of Jack Frost since the winter of '95, when the thermometer registered 5° below zero. The weather bureau, plumbers and coal dealers, to be in the fashion, must have formed a combine. Many a good item of news is lost to the newspaper by the modesty of people who hesitate to tell a reporter of matters concerning themselves. Not that they do not want it to appear in print, but they are afraid they would be pushing themselves forward. That is wrong. From a reportorial standpoint the man who will stop a newspaper reporter on the street and inform him of what transpired in his vicinity, that he is going to get married, or that his wife entertained friends from a distance, is the best man on earth. May his like increase throughout the world. The Band's Entertainment. The musical and literary entertainment held by the W. A. Manahan Cornet Band in Steelman's Hall on Saturday evening last was not as well patronized as it deserved to be. The music rendered by the band was excellent. The songs by Hunter Thomas and Harvey Lake, full of local hits, were heartily enchored. Mr. Thomas played the accompaniment on the organ for Mr. Lake, while Mr. Lake, on the banjo, performed like service for Mr. Thomas. T. E. Bennett's recitation was the feature of the evening, Mr. Bennett displaying much dramatic ability and careful study of the character portrayed. He was vociferously applauded. The burlesque on the Demorest Medal Contest brought down the house, and it was pronounced one of the best local hits ever yet presented by our home talent. We wish the boys better success, financially, in the future. They deserve it.

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

ENGLISH CREEK. The Ladies' Aid Society held a necktie sociable in Scull's hall on Thursday evening last. The proceeds were for the benefit of the society. Mrs. Anna English is very sick. Mrs. Littlepage, of Atlantic City, is attending her sick mother.

MAY'S LANDING. Barkentine Jennie Sweeney, Captain S. S. Hudson, cleared Philadelphia Monday for Galveston, Texas, coal laden. Miss Jerusha Eberhart is recovering from a serious illness. The Industrial Company's brick plant has been shut down for a week on account of a break in the machinery. The township committee will meet on Saturday and settle the affairs of the township for the year. STEELMANVILLE. The body of Stephen Ketchum was brought from Newport News on Saturday and interred in Asbury M. E. church cemetery. He was formerly a resident of Scullville. The body was accompanied by his family. Andrew Dixon draws the reins over a spirited horse he recently purchased of Lewis Wheaton, of Cape May Court House. The inclement weather interfered very much with the services at Bethel M. E. church Sunday. The extra services which were to have commenced at that time were indefinitely postponed. Mrs. D. B. Steelman, of Atlantic City, made a short visit to this place last week.

Mr. Love has returned after a protracted visit in Philadelphia.

Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Booye were the guests of their brother Brazier Sunday last.

PLEASANTVILLE.

Harry Hackett will take charge of the toll gate on March 1st.

Mrs. H. S. Lake has been quite sick with la grippe for three weeks past. Wesley Megronigle, of Philadelphia, is spending a few days with his aunt, Phoebe Lake.

Lucas Lake is indisposed at this writing.

The Pleasantville Home Communion Lodge will hold their first anniversary February 12th. An interesting pro-

gramme is being prepared for the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. John Race are quite sick.

G. A. Francis, the evangelist, is holding revival meetings in the Baptist church. He is a fine speaker and an excellent singer. Come out and hear

him.

John Race has purchased a horse to take the place of the one which was so severely injured by getting fast in the stable that it had to be shot. The Red, White and Blue Social Club gave another hop last evening. The Pleasantville Press has a new editor. G. H. Genness took charge of the paper last Thursday. Mr. Kates will still remain with the publication. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Risley have returned from Boston, where they have been spending the winter. Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Risley are now residents of Mexico, where they have gone for the benefit of Mr. Risley's health. Mrs. H. D. Robinson, of Ocean City, is visiting relative in this place. Joseph Helm, our genial ticket agent, has taken charge of an office at Glassboro. Harry Happersett takes his place at this station. The Red Men will have a visitation from Miami Tribe this (Thursday) evening, and to judge by the preparations being made they will be treated right royally. The ladies will be present on the occasion. Joseph Adams is very ill. Frank Lake is at home. He has been absent for some time, being on a voyage with Captain John Blake. PORT REPUBLIC. Death continues its work in our midst. This time it has invaded the home of Frank Linglebach, a son of our German friend. Mr. Linglebach lives near Pomona and came to America to work for a home in a free country many years ago. By steadfastness and purpose, integrity and economy, such as our thrifty German neighbors know how to exercise, he has not only made a home but acquired a fine property. He leaves a wife and an interesting family of children. Mrs. Martha Hewitt is very sick. Mrs. Lizzie Kindle is recovering from her illness. It is thought that the health of our pastor, Mr. Webb, is not improving in this climate. Our community was startled again last Sunday morning, as it was the previous Sunday morning, by hearing the solemn tolling of the church bell. Amasah Brower, an aged man, passed away after many months of suffering. He was cared for during his last days by a most dutiful son, who left nothing undone that could be done for his com-

fort.

As every element in society must or ought to have something to improve and elevate its morals, so ours has. One element that could not find congeniality or pleasure in "The Little Coterie" has organized a "Boxing Club" and has rented a room of Rev. Ashley Cake in which to practice. As Port never does anything by halves, it is prophesied that ere long Horace Leeds will lose his laurels and Corbett will have to [?]duously guard his. Last Sunday night, between 12 and 1 o'clock, the pretty and picturesque house of W. H. Fenton was burned to the ground. Insurance will cover the loss of the building, but the furniture and clothing are a complete loss. Mr. Fenton and family have our deepest

sympathy. The question is, How deep is that? It is no trifle to be put out in the snow on a cold winter's night without clothing and our winter's provisions burned up. Who will help? Remember, none of us know how soon we will need help ourselves.

Captain E. D. French has the sympathy of all his acquaintances in this and other places in the loss of his good father, Samuel French, of Philadelphia, who died Friday last. Mr. French's life was a long and useful one. He retained his mental faculties till within a short time of his death. Mr. French has, since a young man, owned and conducted the chemical works at Fourth and Callowhill streets, Philadelphia.

ATLANTIC CITY.

City Council Monday night ordered a special election for the 14th instant to submit the new city charter to a vote. The Governor signed the charter bill Monday night.

The Board of Education's committee which has in charge the introduction of the public school savings bank system has met with a snag in the shape of the

local banks refusing to receive the small accounts which such a system would open. It is probably the outcome will be the establishment of a dime savings institution.

Preparations are being made to celebrate Washington's birthday on an extensive scale in this city. A programme is being perfected by Joe Hooker Post, G. A. R., in which the school children, Sons of Veterans, Junior Order United

American Mechanics, the Grand Army

Post and other organizations will take part.

A cottage on North Delaware avenue occupied by George M. Fisher, was destroyed by an incendiary fire Friday.

Before Judge Garrison, in Camden on Saturday, counsel for John Majane

was granted a writ of certiorari in the case of Majane against Atlantic City. Majane was convicted in the recorder's Court of Atlantic City on a charge of violating an ordinance against fast

driving.

There was a bustling air of life in the hotel circles here Saturday evening, the ripple being occasioned by the formal opening of several of the larger hotels which have been barred since the close of the Fall season. As in good society, there was a fraternal exchange of greetings between the proprietors of those

hotels which have kept open house

throughout the year and those which made their advent in the field Saturday. With their opening also came a

noticeable increase in the number of

visitors, custom having established a rule among old patrons of the houses

to be present at such events.

Another event of the week was the

first dance of the Winter given by the Morris Guards. It was a notable social success and brought together the social

element of the city. The hall was hand-

somely festooned and the Guards were present in their brilliant gold-laced full dress uniform. The dressing on the part

of the fair participants was a notable

feature.

The bridge of the Camden and Atlantic Railroad, over the Thoroughfare, will be closed to all vessels in a few days. This is necessary on account of the new bridge which is to be put in place of the old one. In the meantime the trains will run over the temporary structure that has been erected beside the old bridge. The question of a drive down the beach to Longport is again being agitated. South Atlantic City has nearly completed two miles of the road through that borough, and the Ventnor Land Company is grading 1300 feet at that place. The remainder of the distance up to Jackson avenue, the southernmost limit of this city, is in Egg Harbor township, and it will likely be necessary to call upon the County Board of Freeholders to do this part of the work. The expense would not be great, and the opening of the road would add to the

city's attractions.

While friends were engaged in preparing for burial the body of Alfred Conover, who died a few days ago, and was supposed to be penniless, they found strapped around his waist a money belt which contained nearly $1000 in greenbacks and gold coin. Conover was 40 years old and was a son of Captain Isaiah Conover, the fisherman who was found in a floating boat last fall. How he managed to save the money found on his person is unknown.

SEA ISLE CITY. E. Clinton Hewitt, the expert employed by City Council to audit City Treasurer Chester's books and papers, has completed his labors and in submitting his report to the authorities says: "There appears no evidence of fraud in any of the books or accounts on the part of anyone, though the 'City Journal' needs considerable correction."

CAPE MAY CITY. Supreme Court Justice Reed and Lay Judges Hughes, Ludlam and Bennett, of this county, sat in Camden Saturday to hear testimony in the proving of the will of Sallie Stevens, deceased, of this city. An order was granted allowing the will to be probated. The property valued at $15,000, is left to strangers. Ex-Mayor Joseph Q. Williams has publicly said that he is not a candidate for any city office at the approaching primary elections.

CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE.

Edward Burrough, on "Good Roads;" Franklin Dye, Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, on "The Present Situation of Agriculture;" W. B. Ward, of Newark, on "Spring Work in the Fruit Garden;" Theodore E. Baker, of Bridgeton, "Preparatory Spring

Work Under Glass and in the Field."

DENNISVILLE.

Rev. Mr. Ray, Chester, Pa., preached in the Baptist church on Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Harris, wife of Pastor Harris, has been quite ill. John James' child is suffering with pneumonia. Mrs. Lydia Nickerson is in Trenton, where she will remain until after Conference, the guest of her sister, Mrs.

Charles Elder.

health.

WEST CAPE MAY. Captain John Church, of this place, has not been seen by friends or relatives since April 26th last, he is generally regarded as dead, but by what means no one knows. He was seen in Philadelphia, where his big new four-mast schooner, the Viking, took in a cargo of coal for Fall River, Mass., where he arrived on April 26th, as reported by his consignees at that port. Here the Captain dropped out of sight, so far as is known at his old home, where a wife and four children have been waiting to hear something of his fate. It is feared he has met with violence. His effects were left in his cabin, as though he had gone ashore on business, expecting to return in a short time. His freight remained uncollected, and other business matters seemed to show that the Captain had not voluntarily disappeared. His dues are still being paid in the beneficial societies of which he was a member. Captain Church is a man of middle age, of stalwart frame, and a typical seaman. Among his maritime associates he was regarded as an excellent navigator, always successful, and of generous personal traits of character common to his profession.

The Medal Contest. The Demorest Medal Contest, which took place in Steelman's Hall under the auspices of the Y. W. C. T. U., Thursday evening last, drew a full house. There were six young lady con-testants--Misses Nellie Schurch, Cora Hand, Vara Smith, M. Vanaman, E. Everingham and Corina Sutton--and the exhibition proved that some of the participants possessed latent abilities that with proper care and training would win them place among elocutionists of high degree. Viewed as an entertainment, the contest takes rank among the higher order of amusements with which our citizens have been favored; as an exhibition of dramatic

skill, it surpassed the most sanguine hopes of the friends of the fair con-

testants and reflected credit upon the ability of Mrs. M. T. Rush, who prepared the young ladies for the trial of skill. The judges, three in number, after comparing notes, awarded the medal to Miss Corina Sutton, whose efforts bore evidence of much careful preparation.
