THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1895.

Entered at the Post Office at Ocean City, N. J.

as second-class mail matter.

CARL BROWNE seems to have made a pretty good thing out of the commonwealth army. While tramping through New Jersey several months ago he wore a buckskin suit and collected subscriptions from the people. A short time ago Carl disbanded his army and took to the lecture field. The other night he lectured in Vineland, and but few knew him at first, as he was dressed in fashionable clothes, wearing a silk hat and tooth-pick russet shoes. Brown predicts that the Populist party will nominate Cleveland and elect him, and that this will secure to us sound money and

good government.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT.

Like the brilliancy of a spring morning, with the sky clear and sunshine suffusing every object, the outlook for the summer at Ocean City is without a cloud. The weather sharps predict that the weather will be hot. That is important, even though accompanied with discomfort. Hot weather starts people to thinking where they may go to cool off. Our long stretch of ocean front invites them. They know its charms and its comforts. They know, if they have been here before, that Ocean City gives more for the money and more for nothing than any resort on earth. Is it any wonder they select the best as

well as the cheapest?

Another point is the attractions outside of the beach. Our sailing, fishing and boating facilities are unsurpassed. The probability is that hundreds who have spent vacations at other places in the past will come here this season and continue to come in future years. Ocean City has demonstrated that it can take care of all. It is to be expected hotels and cottages will be crowded during August, for that is the height of the season. It has seldom failed.

A Cowardly Act. On Tuesday evening of last week, while the Rev. S. H. Hann, pastor of

the M. E. church in Tuckahoe, was

sitting in the parsonage a large stone was hurled through the window, just back of his seat, and in a direct line

where is family was sitting. Fortu-

nately, no one was struck with the missile, although it was a narrow escape. The act is supposed to have been the outcome of the liquor fight in the town, as there has been a movement against granting a license to John S. Albertson, and the County Court that day refused to give him a license. The town had been without a licensed saloon for four months, and a remonstrance was filed with the Court against granting Albertson a license. Mr. Hann participated as one of the remonstrants. Mr. Hann does not make charges against any one, but it is generally believed that the party who hurled the missile through the window of the parsonage was an enemy on account of his action in the liquor license remonstrance. At the time the stone was thrown a member of the Temperance Committee was sitting in the room with Mr. Hann. A reward of $100 has been offered for the arrest of the guilty party.

Work of the Grand Jury.

The following cases were disposed of by the Grand Jury at the April term of

the Cape May county Court: State vs. Alfred Sims, malicious mischief, bail.

James Ritchie, Jr., Mayor of South

Cape May, adultery, bail. Katie Bohme, adultery, bail.

Henry Clark, illegal voting at Holly

Beach, bail.

Harry Bohme, disorderly house at

South Cape May, bail.

George Berry, unlawful sale of liquor at same place, bail. Theodore Roman, colored, assault and battery on his wife. Roman plead guilty and would probably have gotten a light sentence but for the interposition of the wife, who told the Court she was afraid of him. "One year at hard labor" was the sentence.

A Lawmaker Loses an Eye.

An accident occurred at the South Millville glass works of Whiteall, Tatum & Co. Monday by which Assemblyman Thomas F. Austin had his right eye destroyed. He is a stopped-grinder by trade and was grinding a bottle in a machine making 3200 revolutions per minute when the neck of the bottle broke, making a terrible gash and cutting through the eye. Assemblyman Austin was taken to Philadelphia in the afternoon and the

injured eye was removed.

Mr. Austin is well known in this city, occupying a cottage here during the season in '93.

CAPE MAY COUNTY NOTES. Items Plucked Here and There by Our Correspondent SOUTH SEAVILLE. While Mr. James Brown was working in her garden a few days ago her nine-year-old boy, James, stole some matches and with his little sister set fire to bushes, which caused what would have been a serious wood fire. By the efforts of neighbors the Brown's home and nearby dwellings were saved. TUCKAHOE. Mrs. Girault has purchased a house and lot of Somers Johnson. Our town was well represented at Court. Arbor Day was appropriately observed by the scholars on the Atlantic side. Somers Johnson and family have moved to Atlantic City. Edward Peterson, a young man, has been arrested and held in bail on suspicion of having thrown the stone in the parsonage.

GOSHEN. The home surroundings of Mrs. Grace have been greatly improved. Miss Anna Ludlam is recovering from a serious illness. Frank Ludlam has enclosed his yard with a wire fence. The literary entertainment on Monday evening, under the auspices of the Epworth League, was an enjoyable affair. Hiram Batt will be confined to his bed for some time with injuries resulting from taking "a header" from his wheel.

DENNISVILLE.

Miss Jessie Way returned home last week after an extended visit with rela-

tives in Tuckahoe.

Many pike are being caught in Mystic

Lake.

A number of our townsmen attended

Court.

While on a business trip to Woodbine recently Squire A. E. Holmes had the misfortune to have his buggy demoralized. A horse and wagon driven by Charles Schmidt collided with Mr. Holmes' team, overturning the vehicle. The horse broke loose from the wreck and spent the night in the woods near

Belleplain.

Hon. R. S. Leaming, who has been very ill, is, at the present writing, somewhat

improved.

A rousing reception was given Pastor Disbrow. Seventy-eight persons were

present.

CAPE MAY CITY.

Walter Roseman has sold his cottage on Washington street to George C.

Crawford.

W. G. Essen is making extensive improvements to his property on Wash-

ington street.

Beautiful seashore weather brought many people to the shore Thursday and Friday. Among those who have come have been many persons who have chosen their Summer cottages. Among them are Horace E. Smith, Emory P. Day, Louis W. Arny, Mrs. W. W. Firm, Postmaster Harry B. Paul, of Camden; Mrs. George gK. Mellvain, James S. Chambers, Dr. Charles H. Reed, Joseph Cohen, A. F.

Damon, Louis Schutte.

A pleasant company who are keeping

house for a fortnight at their Perry street cottage, are George Gluyas Mercer, Esq., James H. Ballington, Mrs. Robert J. Mercer, Miss Laura Mercer, Harry Taylor and wife, Mrs.

M. E. Mercer and Miss May Mercer. As Cape May needs more wells at its

water works, Council on Thursday ordered bids for constructing twenty driven wells to increase the supply

which comes from Cold Spring, two miles away.

The cottage of ex-President Harrison will, it is said, be shortly put in order.

COTTON DRESS STUFFS. They've come to hold much of the poetry of merchandising, these hundreds of dainty stuffs for warm weather wear. There'll be cotton stuffs whenever you come; there's most

to be seen just now.

These Piques are made the sturdy Scotch way of mixing colors in the yarns, instead of dyeing the cloth. The colors stay; no matter what happens.

But the French give us the daintiest:

French Printed Pique, with border, in navy, cadet blue, old rose and tan. Tiny white figures. 65c a yard.

Seeks Heavy Damages. W. Berault, of Vineland, counsel for

the estates of Mary Ann Jones, Jonathan and Eliza Lewis, who were killed

by a train on the South Jersey Railroad

at Richland, December 23 last, Monday obtained an order from Judge Dallas, of the United States Circuit Court for the District of New Jersey, allowing him to bring suits for damages against the receiver of the South Jersey Railroad. Damages for $10,000 are claimed in such case and the trials will probably

take place in Camden. Judge Carrow,

of Camden, is associated with Lawyer Berault in the cases.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, April 29, 1895. Eight thousand dollars worth of leather is used in decorating the enlarged Shoe store. We are leather buyers as well as Shoe sellers--had to be if we would make our word good to sell you footwear better than you can buy it anywhere else. The display is novel, the leather just the sorts that go into our shoes. The sealskins in the display are interesting; some tanned with the hair on to show the difference between the warm-water hairy seal, whose skin is used for leather, and the fur seal of the far north. This seal leather wears as no other kind. Here it is, made into men's russets, $6. Hand made, of course. Here's the French calfskin made into men's shoes, some patent leather. All hand-work welts and stitching; two styles of toe; first time strictly single-finish bench work, with like good

stock, was ever sold under $7 or $8. These $5. But excuse the digression, only meant to speak of the display.

BLACK DRESS GOODS Half dozen to tell of the hundreds, as you'd test a treeful of fruit by a bite from an apple. Black Serge, 31c. All-wool; good close twill and deep rich black. Quality made to retail at 45c. Black French Serge, 50c. Fine twill, closely woven, with a crispiness that tells of its goodness; made and dyed by best makers in Europe, and imported to sell at 75c a yard, 45 in. All-wool Henrietta, 50c. High finish, with a deep rich bloom to the black; the weight and fineness of weave that you'd look for in goods of twice the price. We sold it at 75c a while back, 45 inches wide. 40-in. Black Challis, 31c. All-wool, good black, fine, evenly and firmly woven; right for all-summer wear.

Black Silk-and-Wool Challis. Adding the silk to the wool gives it brilliancy and fineness without adding weight, and dust hurts it less. Made in Europe; best of black, but marked at prices that little more than pay the duties. All 42 inches wide; three qualities.

At 50c a yard the $1.00 quality. At 65c a yard the $1.25 quality. At 75c a yard the $1.50 quality.

50-in. Black Fancy Cheviot, 75c. Armure and Figured Diagonal Cheviots. If sold for enough to give the maker a profit you'd pay $1.25 a yard.

CREAM DRESS STUFFS The graduating frock is in mind, for it's already pretty certain who the graduates will be. The forehanded have commenced preparations. Have you? Here's a fair list of proper stuffs, any a fourth less than you've known them

until now:

All-wool Challis, 29 to 38 inches wide, 25, 33 and 37½c a yard. All-wool Crepon, 38 and 47 inches, 50 and 75c a yard. Mohair and Wool Crepon, 47 inches, 75c and $1.25 a yard.

Silk-and-wool Gauze Crepon, 45 in., $1 and $1.25. Silk-stripe Crepon, 38 in., 75c. Silk-dotted Crepon, 47 in., $1. Silk-stripe Voile, 40 in., $1. And a great variety of other weaves.

Wanamaker's. BEDROOM SUITS If we pretended to catalogue the savings to be found in the Furniture Store you'd tire of the list. We're room making by clearing out smallish lots at such prices as will make them go quickest. Oftener than not we're losing money--but wise losing is good financiering. We've marked out a severe line and we're hewing to it.

The chips are the special money-savers we ask you to gather. To-day:

Eight-piece Bedroom Suits of natural birch, finely finished; good enough for some room in any house; cheap enough for any purse. Set includes--

Bureau, 24x36 in., beveled mirror.

Bedsteads, 6 ft., headboard.

Washstand, 32 in. wide.

Clothes Pole. Centre Table.

Such a suit you'd count fairly priced at $44. These

go at $22.

BICYCLES--THE CONTINENTAL

More and more people are tiring of the big prices charged for Bicycles; that is, for the other all-right high-grade wheels, and more Continentals will be ridden this year than ever. Find fault with them if

you can--our staunchest friends are the satisfied critical people. No glory in selling to those who think anything will do.
