ATLANTIC CITY. Socially, matters have been rather quiet this week among the hotels, although there has been some music at one or two of the houses, and a few private card parties. There is no lack of people in the hotels, however, and the clerks say the houses are full. The resort at the present moment is enjoying what may be called a building boom. There is a large hotel in course of construction on New Jersey avenue, which will compare with the finest one on the beach; a theatre on Atlantic avenue, a big amusement casino on the beach at the corner of Tennessee avenue, which will reach back from the boardwalk two hundred feet, and will be fifty feet in width, with a roof garden, and another new pier at the end of Texas avenue, which will reach into the ocean from high water mark five hundred and sixty feet. The outer end will be reached by means of an electric railroad. In the upper section of the city there are in progress of building no less than twentyeight cottages, while all over the city the sound of the hammer and saw is

heard in the erection of new cottages and hotels. One of the most notable of the new buildings is the cottage being erected by Richard Loper, of Philadelphia, president of the Guarantors' Company. The cottage is located on Pennsylvania avenue, near the beach, and will cost when completed $35,000, without furniture. It will be one of the handsomest buildings in the city.

The Mercer Memorial Home for Invalid Women opened on Thursday for the year. The Children's Sea Shore Home, which is managed by the same officers, will not open until the middle

of April.

The Atlantic City Gas Company is enlarging its plant with a retort having a capacity of 250,000 cubic feet of gas. Chief of Police Eldridge, who has been sick with pneumonia for the last six weeks, is able to be out of doors. While driving tandem G. Jason Waters collided with a carriage on the beach Sunday afternoon. Both vehicles were wrecked. Mr. Waters luckily es-

caped with but a few bruises. Ex-Councilman William Bowler, representing a syndicate of capitalists who propose to construct an electric railway from Camden to this city, claims to have secured the allotted amount of subscriptions to the stock, and states that the road is to be built in time for summer travel. A committee from Franklin Hose Company, of Philadelphia, consisting of Harry Price, Samuel Reynolds, John Carlisle, Thomas J. Kelly, Charles McCauley, James Smith and Wm. Smith presented Mrs. John Gouldey, wife of

the City Recorder, with a pretty piano

lamp. She assisted in entertaining the company during their visit to the shore. The engagement is announced of Lawyer Henry Wootton and Miss Mary Down, daughter of Cashier Down, of the Second National Bank. The corner-stone for the Elks' hall was laid yesterday with appropriate exercises. The Morris Guards entertained several hundred ladies Thursday evening, the

occasion being one of their "Ladies' Nights."

MAY'S LANDING. This place is to have telephone connections with Atlantic City and Philadelphia. Mrs. Eunice Leighton, wife of Veterinary Surgeon F. L. Leighton, of this place, attempted suicide Friday afternoon, and but for the unexpected arrival home of her husband would have accomplished her purpose. Mrs. Leighton took from her husband's medicine chest a small phial of medicine and left the house. Her husband returned unexpectedly a few moments later, and learning of the fact from his little daughter immediately went in search of his wife and found her in a swamp a few squares from the house. The woman was lying on the ground with the bottle beside her, and her groans attracted her husband. A loaded revolver belonging to her husband was found in her pocket. She was immediately removed to a house near by, where Dr. Wales succeeded in counteracting the effect of the powerful drug she had taken. Mrs. Leighton was suffering from an attack of despondency. Mrs. Mary J. Smallwood is seriously ill. Mark Smith and wife returned to their home in Millville Monday afternoon after a pleasant visit with relatives here. Howard H.

Snyder, of Philadelphia, occupied the M. E. pulpit on Sunday and preached excellent sermons. Mrs. S. Smallwood, aged 78 years, died Thursday from apoplexy. The funeral took place Saturday morning. PORT REPUBLIC. Since the last writing death has removed from her home and family Mrs. Deborah Lear, daughter of Samuel and Harriett Burnett, of this place, but recently resident of Hammonton. The deceased was a real Christian lady. There has also been a wedding. Miss Lizzie Garrison was married to a Mr. Mitchell, of New York. The occasion was a very happy one. All her acquaintances wish her a long and joyous life. She was a most useful girl, and one of whom any man should be proud to call wife. Captain Levi Collins, of Camden, visited his aged father, John Collins, last Sunday. Mate Richard Bowen, wife and child returned home last Saturday evening after having spent a long winter aboard his father's schooner on Jersey City gats. They report a pleasant winter and good health. He is about to do his share of improvements by erecting a new house. Mrs. H. D. Peele, of Jersey City, visited her old time friend, Mrs. John Huntley, last Sunday, returning on

Monday.

A surprise party was tendered Miss Anna French last Wednesday evening. While the party was enjoying the social event to its utmost, a few who are very fond of cake made a selection of the largest one, divided it into four equal parts, and congratulated themselves that the division was honorably made, making the old proverb true again "There is honor among thieves." Cake must taste good to those who

------ like it.

Quite a sensation was created last Sunday evening or Monday A. M. early by seeing two fellows calling themselves men playing the part of two horses in front of a buggy working their way homeward as best they could, the real horse having tired of standing so long in front of the home of the lovers' fair charmers, took it into his intelligent head that the drivers had less wit than himself and divested himself of the vehicle and left for home.

This old resort is getting on its fresh paint and new work preparatory to a season which its citizens hope will be the most prosperous one in years.

The hotels, with but two or three exceptions, will be under the same excellent management as before. The Ebbit has been entirely rebuilt and is now already open for business, and has a number of guests. Other houses are open also. Too Swift for Him. Reuben Stephenson, the mute who two seasons ago made such a good showing with the Philadelphia Club, is at his home in Dennisville, this county, after an absence of two years in the northern part of Pennsylvania, where he has been playing ball with Pennsylvania State League clubs. Stephenson tells an interesting story of his stay up in Pennsylvania and says that he will never again play with minor league clubs, and particularly with the Pennsylvania League. He says the life spent with semi-professional ball tossers is entirely too swift for him; that the players have very little idea as to the value of money, and, after a day's play they eat supper and then start out to "do" the town and all its suburbs. All have their particular hobby. Some play poker, others go to dances and a great many get up private sporting events, such as cock and prize fights. Stephenson claims that a man who tries to save his money has a hard road to travel in such company. He refused to go out with "the boys," and for that reason found that in every town he went his fellow players were doing all in their power to handicap him and have him released from the team with which he played. Stephenson, who is a gentlemanly fellow, will play with the Camden Club. He says he will never again play in a league unless it is in the National League. He has quite a reputation as a fielder, an accurate thrower and a heavy hitter. He is the son of Leaming Stevenson, of this city. We do all kinds of Painting. Graining and Sign Work a specialty. B.
