Campbell, against whom two true bills of indictment were found by the Atlantic county Grand Jury, charging him with keeping a "speak easy" and selling beer on Sunday, left his home in Buena Vista township Wednesday of last week, having by some unknown means gained information concerning his indictment. Judge Reed issued a bench warrant for his arrest, and when the officer went to his place of business it was found that Campbell had skipped. SOMERS' POINT. The funeral services of Dr. Job B. Somers were conducted at his late residence, Linwood, Thursday morning last, by the Rev. Mr. Cottrel, of Shiloh. Interment was made at the Somers family cemetery in this borough.

EGG HARBOR CITY. A dangerous-looking intoxicated individual was arrested here Thursday night last by Marshal Senft.

After a hard struggle the marshal, with a number of assistants, managed to lodge the apparent maniac in jail. Next morning he was given a hearing before Justice Breder, when he gave his name as Harry Debo and knew little or nothing of the proceedings of the day before. He was given thirty days in the workhouse.

ABSECON.

The Council of this town met Friday

night, it being the first meeting of the newly-elected officers. Clayton L. Hig-

bee was elected chairman. The contract for lighting the street lamps was

awarded to Daniel Bates at 60 cents per night. Japhet Adams was appointed on the Street Lamp Committee for another year. The bond of the collec-

tor was presented and approved. A

petition signed by a majority of the

voters was presented, praying Council

to impose a license upon peddlers doing

business in our town. The matter was referred to a committee, and a law to

that effect will likely be passed.

Easter services were held in both our churches on Sunday last--in the morning at the Presbyterian church and in the evening at the M. E. church. STEELMANVILLE. The Try Company of Scullville had a very nice Easter service Sunday morning at the hall. Easter services were held at Friendship M. P. church Sunday morning, consisting of singing, recitations and an address by the pastor, Rev. Joseph Austerberry. The exercises were under the direction of Humphrey Scull and sisters. The programme was very appropriate and well rendered. At Bethel M. E. church the Sundayschool session was held as usual. In the afternoon Rev. H. M. Smith delivered a very appropriate sermon on the Resurrection, after which the Lord's Supper was administered to quite a number of communicants. In the evening the Easter services were held, the pastor being present. Quite a number of friends from this place attended the funeral of Dr. Job B. Somers on Thursday last. They felt they had laid to rest an excellent physician and a kind and true friend. ATLANTIC CITY. Stephen J. Kirk, aged 26, the youthful ex-proprietor of the Hotel Stockton, died Sunday afternoon after a brief illness, the result of kidney affection. Mr. Kirk was married only a few months ago. At the time he was taken ill he was preparing to build a handsome new hotel in the upper part of

the city.

James W. Calloway has rented a States avenue cottage. Four fine cottages are being erected at Rhode Island and Arctic avenues. A gang of toughs in the upper section of the city, Sunday night, assaulted Police Officer Vansant, beat him severely and carried off his club. His assailants escaped and have not yet been captured. Mrs. Betsy Phillips, wife of Photographer Harry Phillips, was stricken with neuralgia of the heart on the 10th inst. and died in half an hour. She leaves a family of eight children. Councilman Southern, Rose and Leeds, composing the Water Committee of City Council, conferred with the representatives of the combined water companies last week to ascertain what would be the most reasonable price for which the plants could be purchased by the city. The city two years ago offered the companies $700,000 for the plants, and three commissioners recently appointed to appraise their value rated them at $848,564. The city refused to accept the award, and has applied to Court to have it set aside. The companies' solicitors have asked the

Court to confirm the award, and the matter will be argued before Judge Reed in Trenton on the 27th inst. At last Wednesday night's conference the companies' representatives made a new proposition, offering to split the difference between the price offered by the city and the commissioners' award, which would be $771,782. PORT REPUBLIC. The death of Mrs. Martha Wilson, a long-time sufferer, one of that class who suffers living death unappreciated, and so far as sympathy and tender care is concerned, she suffered most of those years alone. Sometimes the neighbors would hear, "Mrs. Wilson is sick, but then she is always sick." Oh, how little true sympathy and "love your neighbor as yourself" is demonstrated. Mrs. Daniel Rose continues very ill. A very sad scene was presented to the neighbor's vision last week when the new pastor moved. The furniture of the former pastor was moved out and "had no where to go." One of the neighbors took pity on it and allowed it to find shelter in a lodge room over his store. The rest was pitied by Mark Strickland and taken to his house to receive care till called for by the owner. Truly, "The wages of sin is death." We are sorry to hear that the vessel that Captain Somers French sails collided with another, drowning the captain of the latter. We are glad to record the safe arrival of Captain Will Blake from his South American cruise. Quite a number of changes have taken place among the farmers this spring in anticipation of a profitable season. Elmer Adams has charge of J. L. Cake's farm and property. Edward Johnson has undertaken to farm E. D. French's vast estate. Mrs. Clark's is let to Charley Johnson and Morris Endicott cultivates a part of Captain John's land. It is rumored that Rev. Ashley Cake is in government employ. The wishes of the community for his success go with him. Easter services were held in our church all day last Sunday. In the evening by recitations, reading suitable selections and speaking. The church was decorated, and there were but few who did not contribute to the collections during the day. Mr. Warthman's sermon was much appreciated. Captain Charley Blake and wife, with her sister, Miss Midie Collins, will soon occupy his handsome home. Miss Rhoda Ticell spent a part of last week in Atlantic City. Her health seems very good again. It will seem sad when the time comes that we no longer see her familiar face among us.

Cottages Rented. H. H. Bodine on Monday rented J. S. Rush's cottage, corner Eleventh street and Central avenue, to Mrs. C. Cake, of Philadelphia. W. E. Massey & Co. have rented Mrs. Lewis' cottage on Central avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets, to J. M. Ritter, of Philadelphia. Robert Fisher has rented F. E.

Lloyd & Co., extensive lumber dealers. Mrs. Ewing, of Philadelphia, has rented Willard Adams' cottage, Asbury avenue, south of Tenth street, through the agency of Y. Corson.

Cast up from the sea. A bottle containing the following message was picked up on the 9th inst. by Washington Corson, of Peck's Beach Life Saving Station: "April 1, 1895. "Absecon light, bearing west by north, eight miles. All well. Light wind from N. N. E. and smooth sea. Now 10 o'clock p. m. On a passage from Portsmouth, N. H., to Philadelphia, Pa. Please report this when found. Yours respectfully, "L. C. LAKE, "Pleasantville, Atlantic Co., N. J. "Master of schooner William K. Park, of Somers' Point, N. J." Mr. Lake is a brother of our fellowtownsman, William Lake, to whom the bottle was delivered by the finder. The paper upon which the message was written is saturated with water, but the writing is perfectly legible. The William K. Park is a four-masted schooner of 1800 tons burden.

Atlantic City Editors Acquitted. At Monday's session of the Atlantic county Courts the first of the three criminal libel suits against Haslett and Mueller, the editors of the Atlantic City Journal, was tried. The complainant was Royal Robinson, a colored police officer, who was assailed by the paper in the course of a municipal reform crusade which it was conducting. Many witnesses were examined by each side, and Judge Reed delivered a lengthy charge to the jury defining the law. After twenty minutes deliberation the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
