To Own Its Own Water Works. Supreme Court Justice Reed, at Trenton, Saturday, upon application of the attorneys at Atlantic City and of the Atlantic City Water Company, reduced to $771,782 the award of the three commissioners appointed at the instance of that city to appraise the value of the

local plants.

The city two years ago offered to purchase the plants for $700,000, but, just before the sale was consummated, the companies withdrew from the compact. As the result of a recent compromise between the Water Committee of Council and the officials of the company the latter agree to sell for $771,782. The city on Friday night, by a resolution of City Council, accepted the offer by instructing City Solicitor Endicott and Lawyer Coult, of Newark, representing the municipality, to unite with the attorneys of the water company in asking Judge Reed to reduce the Commissioners' award to $771,782. The city now practically owns the plants. Bonds will be floated and the purchase paid

for in cash.

OCEAN CITY'S PROGRESS. No Abatement In Improvements. Destined to Be One of the Leading Resorts Along the Atlantic Coast. The Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday last thus speaks of Ocean City: With a record of $150,000 spent in permanent improvements each season for four years past, with a rapidly increasing resident and summer cottage population, and with every indication of prosperity, the business boom at this charming and well-managed resort has started in in [sic] earnest. The star of Ocean City is indeed in the ascendancy, and there is no doubt but that before many years have passed it will be in the vain of the leading resorts of the country, and, perhaps, the most prominent of its kind on the coast. Nor does that reflect discredit upon the prosperity or the progress of the other seashore resorts. While the latter are forging ahead in their own way, Ocean City is progressing upon an entirely different basis. It is unique and occupies a field solely its own. It is essentially a family resort, a place for the care and training of the young body and mind, where the moral atmosphere is as pure and clear as the physical atmosphere is healthful and invigorating. It has been founded upon principles of temperance and purity, and that these principles have been successfully applied is indicated in the fact that no policemen are employed in winter, only one in summer, and that his position is practically a sinecure. It is owing to this, as much, perhaps, as to the splendid climate and healthfulness of the resort, that it has grown to such an extent. While the place is governed and managed upon this basis, its visiting clientele is by no means confined to the element popularly denominated "church people." On the other hand, the summer throngs include many men of family, who come here because of no religious promptings, but because they recognize in Ocean City a place of absolute safety for their wives and children. Then seekers after health and rest prefer it to the Babel-like resorts where pleasure is more sought than quietude. Along with these are the hundreds of people who are inclined to supplement their worship of the Divine as expressed in the blue waters of the bay and the white-capped breakers of the ocean, with hymns of praise and prayer in the grand auditorium, which will accommodate 1100 souls, and, in which all denominations unite in paying homage to their Creator. This winter there has not been an artisan idle in Ocean City, nor a workman of any kind out of employment even for a day, which is something wonderful when the prevailing distress in large cities and most of the small towns is considered. But here there has been work for all, owing to the fact that improvements to both public and private property have been continuously carried on. Sixty new cottages, many of them beautiful and artistic to a degree, have been erected, several of the hotels have had additions and alterations made, the improving public works and the plants of various corporations have occupied some little time, the underbrush has been removed from nearly every portion of the avenues, beach front alterations have been made and on every hand can be seen the evidences of industry, progress and prosperity. The best quality of flag paving is being laid, or has been put down, on nearly all the sidewalks. Central avenue, one of the resort's best pieces of ground, has been cleared from one end to the other of brush, it has been greatly beautified, particularly on the bay side, and contracts have been awarded for its grading and that of the streets surrounding it. Here and elsewhere in the city property is yearly increasing in value by a large percentage. Ocean City's boardwalk is 2½ miles long, its beach is perfect, it has one avenue three miles long in a direct line with improvements. The bay, which is one of the finest for fishing and sailing, is nine miles long from the inlet to the mouths of the three rivers emptying into it. The population of the resort is 1100, which will probably have a figure or two added to it this summer, especially in the latter part of August, when the camp meeting will be held for two weeks. During that occasion Evangelist Harrison and T. De Witt Talmage will in all likelihood address the people daily. The demand for the best cottages has been great here this spring. Last year moderate priced ones were more popular, but now the finest houses are being looked for, which seems to point to the fact that the class of cottages will be even more desirable than before. If the building of the South Jersey Railroad branch to Ocean City, which is provided for in the permission from the courts to issue receivers' certificates, is consummated, it will probably bring hundreds of people here who have never been here before and who will no doubt be added very speedily to the regular visiting clientele. Then again the Pennsylvania Railroad Company is having built three or more steamboats, which will run between Longport and Ocean City this summer in direct connection with the company's trains and trolley cars. It is calculated that fully 100,000 people will make the trip on these boats during the season. They have their own electric trolley road here in Ocean City, artesian water, electric lights and a sanitary sewerage system. The Electric Light Company expect in a few weeks to put in a new 1000-light incandescent dynamo, which is made necessary in order to provide for the increased number of lights this season. The season, by the well, will soon open; in fact, it is foreshadowed now in the presence of many visitors. In preparation for it the hotels are being put into their best shape. The Brighton, of which Mr. Sooy is the popular proprietor. has had an entire new story added to it, with cupolas and towers, and has been newly painted. The Strand has had a new wing added and has been refurnished. The Traymore is another which will be better than ever this season, as will the Emmett, the Lafayette, the Vandalia, and the Ocean City House. Yes, everyone of Ocean City's residents, from Mayor Robert Fisher, who is, by the way, a model official, and a gentleman of the keenest wit and clearest foresight, down to the smallest thinking child in the community, is getting ready for a season that will make some of the sister resorts open their eyes.

Abandoned at Sea.

United States Consul Eckioff, at Kingston, Jamaica, has reported to the State Department the loss of the American schooner Frank Pratt Lee, of Philadelphia, L. E. Corson, master, and B. E. Etheridge and others owners. The vessel was on a voyage from Charleston, S. C., to Weymouth, Mass., laden with phosphate rock. On March

13th she encountered a southeast gale off Cape Lookout, N. C., losing most of her masts and sails. For eleven days she drifted at the mercy of the sea

without propulsive power.

On Mach 24th, while leaking badly, she was fallen in with by the Russian steamship Regulus, and as there was no hope of bringing the ship into port, the master and crew were taken aboard the steamer and the schooner was abandoned. Arriving at Kingston the castaways were taken in and lodged by the United States Consul, who will send

them back to the United States.

The ill-fated schooner was owned principally in Atlantic county. The captain is a resident of this county.
