Over two weeks ago the Council decided to send a remonstrance to the Pennsylvania Railroad concerning the unfair discrimination it is alleged to be making against Ocean City. The letter was sent, but the Pennsylvania people have not condescended to reply as yet. Rev. Dr. Henry Mason Baum, an oriental scholar, will lecture here on the 5th, 7th and 9th prox. on "discoveries confirming the Bible." The lectures, which will be illustrated, will cover the whole field of explorations in Egypt, Palestine, Assyria and Baby-

lonia.

Atlantic City Notes. Counterfeit money in the shape of silver dollars is being freely circulated about town, and a number of complaints have reached police headquarters from those who have become victims. A dark complexioned woman, five feet five inches in height, and about 35 years of age, is described as the person believed to be circulating the bogus dollars. Chief of Police Eldridge received a letter from Justice of the Peace Charles Janvier, of Landsdowne, Pa., Thursday, stating that Charles Young has been missing from home since July 13, at which time he left for this city. Foul play or an accident is feared. Young is described as being twenty-seven years old, five feet five inches in height, light complexion, sandy mustache and sharp features. He wore a dark serge suit, folding collar, patent leather shoes and a brown derby hat. Information is asked as to his whereabouts. Mrs. Rachel Hopkin's, thirty-seven years old, dropped dead on the steps of her home, 124 Virginia avenue, Monday morning. John Heineman and Frank Roth, two Philadelphians, were each fined $7.50 Monday, for "star-gazing." Two men were fined $10 each for "barking" on Sunday. Fred Kloproth, the band musician, who was so terribly injured in the Casino crash at Atlantic City, is so far improved that he was taken home to Camden on Sunday night. Albert Davis and George Fisher, both colored, were committed to jail to answer for breaking into a Reading freight car and stealing $20 worth of cigars. Miss S. S. Olden, of Philadelphia, while riding on her bicycle on Pacific avenue near Tennessee, on Monday morning, was run down and badly injured by a runaway horse belonging to Dr. Willim Pollard. The horse struck Miss Olden and dashed her to the ground, in the next leap of his hoof struck her head and the heavy buggy which he drew first crushed her wheel and then passed over her body. Miss Olden was carried into the Rossmore, where Drs. Philip and William Marvel attended her. They discovered a frightful scalp wound in the back of her head and severe bruises on her left side and arm. Their greatest fear, however, is of possible internal injuries, which they are certain must have resulted. Miss Olden, who strangely was conscious throughout it all, was conveyed to the Ponce de Leon, where she now rests. A woman frightened the horse by raising her parasol directly

in front of him.

Miss Louise G. Davis and her brother, Isaac R. Davis, have so far recovered from the injuries inflicted upon them by a burglar in their North Carolina avenue cottage that they were removed to the summer home of Mr. Davis' brother, on Vermont avenue. They wished to escape the scenes attending

the assault.

ST. AUGUSTINE'S CHURCH. A Brief History of Its Origin and Establishment in Ocean City. The Catholic church in Ocean City was established a little over a year ago, through the devotion and energy of four resident families--Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gerlach, 'Squire and Mrs. Myers, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Gallagher and Mr. and Mrs. McAleese. These earnest Catholics had for some time felt the necessity for a place of worship and for the ministration of their clergy, and had frequently discused [sic] the advisability of taking steps to secure both permanently. In the spring of 1894, finding that numerous Catholics from other places, especially Philadelphia, were in the habit of visiting this seaside resort for the summer months, and that some were so favorably impressed with it as to contemplate a permanent residence, these families took up the question of a church organization, seriously, and determined on a plan of action. Daniel Gallagher went to Trention and obtained the consent of the bishop for the ministration of any priests who might

desire to make a mission here, without

any restrictions as to the dioceses they might be located in. Mr. Gallagher then consulted with Father Dooley, of

Philadelphia, who willingly agreed to

assign one of the Jesuit fathers to Ocean City for the summer of 1894.

Pursuant to these preliminaries a two-story frame building was hired on West avenue, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets. The house had been unoccupied for some time, and needed fixing up to be suitable for divine services. This work was heartily undertaken and progressed so satisfactorily that the Catholic families and visitors of Ocean City had the consolation of attending the celebration of the first Mass in Ocean City on Sunday the first of July, 1894. Vestments for the occasion were supplied by Rev. P. J. Garvey, D. D., rector of St. James church, Thirty-eighth and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia; Mrs. Henry Gerlach furnished a chalice, Mrs.

Gallagher the altar, and Mrs. McAleese

the altar linens, candlesticks, and ornaments. Rev. Father Galligan, S.

J., Philadelphia, had the honor of celebrating the first Mass, and there-

after, the Masses were continued until

September 9th, the celebrants being

Fathersr Walsh, Cunningham, Freeman and Roche, of the Order of Jesus, and Fathers Gilmore and Waldron of the Order of St. Augustine--all of Philadelphia.

Thus the Catholics had come together and became consolidated, and were given good reason to hope for the happy fruition of their desires--a permanent edifice and a resident pastor. At the close of the summer services in 1894, the Catholics continued their energies for the erection of a new church. Contributions were received and promised to such an amount that the building committee felt justified in investing in six lots on Asbury avenue, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, the property of Henry Gerlach, who made the condition of payment for them, "at pleasure and convenience," and ground was broken on the 13th of October, 1894. During the past winter and last spring the work of erection was pushed forward, and in June last the people of Ocean City were able to look upon a handsome frame structure, sixty feet long and twenty-six feet wide, and with a seating capacity for 300 worshippers. Where formerly sand dunes covered with wild brush stood uninvitingly as mementoes of the yet primordial condition of that portion of the city, there now stood a sacred edifice of handsome proportions, a monument to the devotion, energy and liberality of the Catholic residents, the benefactions of several worthy Philadelphians, and the cordial sympathy of some of the non-Catholic citizens of Ocean City.

On the 16th of June of this year the first Mass was celebrated in the new church by Rev. S. M. Lyons. He came from Baltimore, whence he had been transferred to the Trenton diocese at his own request, because of ill health. Bishop McFaul appointed Father Lyons to the pastorate of St. Augustine's parish, and the wisdom of the bishop's selection has been abundantly proven. Father Lyon's administration thus far has been characterized by excellent judgment and an exhibition of those priestly qualities that never fail to win the affections of the people. As a preacher his sermons are scholarly and eloquent, and have attracted much attention outside of his own congregation, for he has shown himself to be not only an ardent son of the church but also a staunch supporter and advocate of true American principles. It should be mentioned that Messrs. Edwin Brucker and Henry Niehaus were most active in the movement for the erection of St. Augustine's church.

Our City Fathers. The Mayor and Council met Friday night, according to adjourniment, not in the usual place, the K. of P. hall, however, because the janitor had neglected to make arrangements therefor. The City Fathers assembled in the Mayor's office and rattled through the routine business, auditing and passing bills, in a short time. The enforcement of the dog ordinance was spoken of, and all expressed satisfaction with the able manner in which the imported dog-catcher and his "decoy" had performed their duty, spreading terror throughout dog-

dom. Council patted the Mayor on the

back for his firm stand in this matter, an told him to keep up the good work. It was decided further that no leather "fake" muzzle would suffice for dogs, that nothing less than the wire basket muzzles would be recognized as lawful.

The vast crowd of citizens who mani-

fest their intense interest in the Council proceedings by promenading the board walk, watching the merry-go-rounds and attending the hotel parlor-enter-tainments, did not alter their pro-

gramme last night.

"The Philosophy of Wit." Rev. Dr. Lucas lectured Monday night the Auditorium on "The Philosophy of Wit." There was a fair-sized audience,

which was kept in good humor from the opening to the close. Dr. Lucas'

style is captivating. He takes his hearers into his confidence at the outset, and holds them fast throughout his address by his easy, brilliant, odd, humorous and strong sentences, depicting every phase of thought and displaying a wonderful insight into human nature.

Atlantic City Notes. William Swall, a 250-pound visitor from Philadelphia, went in bathing,

and when some distance from shore found himself sinking. He shouted for help. The life-guards were unable to handle him, but they wittily hit upon an effective though unusual plan for rescuing the bulky bather. They tied a rope around his body and triumphantly rowed ashore towing the Philadelphian astern.

Samuel Herbert got into difficulties while bathing in the surf near Ken-

tucky avenue. The life-guards landed him.

Miss Mattie Cloud, a professional nurse of Chester, Pa., was saved from drowning.

Opposed to Boxing.

A committee of three, consisting of Charles Clouting, E. L. Cauffman, a local druggist, and Rev. Mr. Ballard, appeared before Mayor T. E. Ludlam, of Sea Isle City, a few days ago, and demanded that he issue an order of proclamation prohibiting the holding of any more sparring matches in the tent of the Sea Isle Pastime Club. The

committee preferred no specific charges against the club or any of its members and Mayor Ludlam promptly refused to interfere until he had consulted the City Solicitor, ex-Assemblyman Cole, and secured his opinion in the matter. The Mayor's course is considered to be a perfectly proper one. City Solicitor Cole said that prize fighting is a violation of the law, but that glove contests are not.
