We shall be glad to receive items of news and communications of interest

to this community and our readers everywhere.

dress of the writer, not necessarily for publication, but a guarantee of good faith.

LOCAL NEWS.

The regular meeting of the borough

council will be held to-morrow evening. Upwards of 2500 letters were handled at the post-office Thursday. How is

that for high?

The people have "great expectations" from the coming new management of

the electric railway.

B. R. Smith has taken a lot on Asbury avenue, near Tenth street, and will

build a large store on it.

Assemblyman Austin, of Cumber-

land county, and his family have come

here for a fortnight's stay.

Mrs. J. Henszey and her two boys, of

West Chester, Pa., have been spending a week at the Morris Cottage.

Miss Helen Thomas, of Bridgeton, N. J., is visiting Miss Nellie Schurch, at

the Bellevue, on the boardwalk.

Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Kramer, of Camden, are at the Home Cottage, corner of

First street and Central avenue.

Moonlight sailing parties on the bay are now in vogue. All sing, "Sailing, sailing, o'er the deep blue sea," etc. H. H. Bodine has sold G. P. Moore's lot on Asbury avenue, below Eleventh

street, to Walter Emerson, of Sea Isle

City.

Albert Fogg will commence this fall the erection of two houses on Wesley avenue, between Sixth and Seventh street. Miss L. Jones, of Philadelphia, is spending a season with her mother, Mrs. William Jones, at their Asbury avenue cottage. E. Ewing has got out specifications for a building on a lot which he has purchased on Central avenue, between Tenth and Eleventh streets. Two new stained-glass windows have been added to those in St. Augustine's church. One is the gift of 'Squire Myers and the other of Daniel Donohoe. William Chew, familiarly known as "Uncle Benny," has erected a neat picket fence around his property at Thirteenth street and West avenue. Miss J. N. Butler, of Marietta, Pa., has patented a back rest for use on the beach. It is being sold in this city by Mr. Butler, brother of the patentee. Oyster stealing is going on in the water thoroughfares. The owners of the beds and the authorities of Ocean City are on the look out for the thieves. Mrs. C. V. Eddy has purchased a lot on Central avenue, between Tenth and Eleventh streets, on which a handsome building will be put up by next spring. J. R. Carson, a prominent Camden grocer, was down recently, making arrangements for his family to spend the remainder of the season at the seashore. J. B. Comber, superintendent of the Money Order Department of Philadelphia Post-Office, and family, are spending the season in a Central avenue cottage, south of Twelfth street. All the incoming trains from Philadelphia Thursday morning were late, variously, from half to three-quarters of an hour, owing to a break-down to an accommodation engine at Newfield. Miss S. Jennie Massey went to Scranton, Thursday, where she will spend part of her vacation before returning to Dickenson Seminary, Williamsport, Pa. Miss Massry expects to graduate next year. The director and proprietor of the Camden Musical Academy, A. L. Manchester, son of Rev. L. O. Manchester, and his wife and family, have come here to spend the remainder of the season in Ocean City. Rev. Father John McCall, of Baltimore, will deliver a lecture in St. Augustine's church on Sunday, August 18th, on "The trials and triumphs of the church." The proceeds will be devoted to paying off the debt of the church. Mrs. Martha Kalbach, of Philadelphia, mother of H. M. Kalbach, electrician in charge of the electric light plant in this city, died in Philadelphia at 9 o'clock Sunday morning. Mr. Kalbach went to Philadelphia Sunday afternoon to attend the funeral. Thomas T. Baklemore, of Philadelphia, who is stopping at the Brighton is a most enthusiastic fisherman. He leaves the hotel early every day and goes out equipped for the hunt in such a manner as to cause dismay to the finny denizens of the waters. The Holiness people in Tabor, Iowa, have worked themselves into a frenzy over an alleged divine presentiment that the world is to come to an end within ten days! All right. Tom. Harrison, the evangelist, will be in Ocean City then and he "will carry us through." The horse attached to the butcher's wagon belonging to George Meyers, Jr., 431 Asbury avenue, started on a runaway at Ninth street and Asbury avenue Monday forenoon. The driver was thrown and had his ankle strained. The sportive animal was stopped before he had done any damage to himself or his annex. The bazaar under the management of the ladies of the First M. E. church for the benefit of the parsonage fund, has been postponed to the 8th, 9th and 10th of this month. It has also been found necessary to change the place for holding it; and Schurch's vestibule-pavilion on the boardwalk has been finally selected. The new music room of "The Strand" with its brilliant lighting and fine ventilation should prove a great attraction for the young people this season.

Mrs. Charles Mecke is enjoying a visit with her aunt, Mrs. Joseph E.

Coffee, of New York city. Mrs. Coffee

has traveled all over the world and thinks Ocean City a very pretty place.

Mrs. Coffee, also, is highly esteemed in the finest circles of New York society.

The Universal Peace Union, of Philadelphia, will come here over the Pennsylvania railroad next Friday, and will hold a peace and arbitration conference in the Auditorium. The Prohibitionists of Camden and vicinity will hold a great meeting here on the same day, at which National Chairman Samuel

Dickie will orate.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company have replied to the remonstrance of the borough Council, lately forwarded by the Mayor. The company deny that there is any grounds for charging that they discriminate against Ocean City in any respect, and declare that the train service is adequate, and circumstances will not permit of any change

being made this season.

There is some feeling existing, as well as business rivalry, between the Yachtmen's Association and the few men who run their boats independent thereof--who paddle their own canoes,

as it were. The season for making hay is too brief--life is too short--for the

yachtmen to quarrel. Come together, gentlemen, and realize how good and

pleasant it is for brethren to dwell to-

gether in harmony.

FOUND A WATERY GRAVE.

While Bathing at the Foot of Eighth Street, L. L. Plunkett is Drowned.

W. J. Plunkett, proprietor of the

Plunkett Hotel, corner of Eighth and

Spring Garden streets, Philadelphia, was drowned in the surf, opposite the foot of Eighth street, about half-past 12

o'clock Tuesday. He went in bathing

from Nelson's bath-house about noon, and was accompanied by two guests

from The Brighton Hotel. Being expert swimmers, and the surf light, the bathers ventured out about fifty yards beyond what is considered a safe distance. People on the beach noticed that the three men were in difficulty, as they attempted to return, and Ben Ingersoll and other experienced men who happened to be on the beach went to their rescue. The two young men were brought in safely, but poor

Plunkett was landed in a totally unconscious condition. His body was warm when laid on the beach, and there was hope that the vital spark, which was still flickering faintly, might be revived by hard work. Eager, earnest men set to work applying all known methods for resuscitation, but after an hour's labor they were forced to relinquish their sad undertaking and to admit death's victory.

Mr. Plunkett's family are stopping at Dr. Edwards' Holiday Cottage, on Wesley avenue, near Eighth street. He left them in the prime of life and heartiness to take his customary bath, and an hour afterwards the sad news of his untimely death was conveyed to them by Marshal Conver. This is a terrible blow to Mrs. Plunkett and her children, and will excite the regret and sympathy of the whole community. At a quarter of 2 o'clock the body was removed from the beach to the Holiday cottage. The case is rendered more sorrowful from the fact that Mrs. Plunkett is suffering from brain fever, and it is thought that the shock of her husband's untimely death will prove fatal. A trained nurse has been telegraphed for.

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY Changes Hands--A Syndicate of Camden and Philadelphia Capitalists the Purchasers. The electric railway of Ocean City has at length been sold, to a syndicate of Philadelphia and Camden capitalists.

The negotiations for the purchase were carried on quite, secretly but THE RE-

PORTER, nevertheless, whose motto is "numquam dormio," obtained all the

particulars of the transaction.

The purchasers, it is said, contemplate the extension of the line to Corson's Inlet, by the summer of 1897, and purpose to erect at that place an immense amusement garden, which

will include carousels and grounds all kinds of athletic sports and diver-

sions. such as bicycle riding, pedestrianism, baseball, croquet and lawn tennis, with suitable refreshment booths. The financial ability of the purchasers is reputed to be unquestionable, having as much as half a million dollars at command to equip the railway in first-class style and carry out all the projected improvements on an elaborate and all-sufficient scale. There is not the slightest doubt that if these plans are carried out, Ocean City will experience a boom which will gratify her most sanguine well-wishers.

Developments on the sale of the Electric Street Railway of this city go to show that Francis R. Fithian, of Bridgeton, was the agent through whom it was effected. It is said that he is the agent of such enterprising men as General Sewell and Dave Baird, of Camden, and Jim Edmunds, of Cape May City, and consequently a great improvement in the equipment of the railway and in the service is looked for when they assume control. The question of running the cars on Sunday proved a stumbling block in the negotiations for some time. The Ocean City stockholders objected to such an arrangement, although it is believed that a poll of residents and visitors to this favored resort would show a great preponderating sentiment in favor of such a scheme. It was stated last night that this obstacle has been satisfactorily bridged over and that nothing now remains but the completion of the purchase by October 15th, as stipulated. The acquisition of this valuable property by suchc progressive men means much for Ocean City. It promises, with every prospect of accomplishment, a rapid advance in property all along the line of the proposed extension to Corson's Inlet, and a relative boom in real estate in the already built up parts of the city. People who now hold off because of the want of quick and comfortable locomotion between distant parts of the city will see good reason for investment, and it is not too much to expect that within twelve months the resident population of Ocean City will reach 3000 persons.

Contused Wound of the Head.

Julia Morey, the four-year-old daughter of J. K. Morey, Central avenue, below Eighth street, received a contused wound on the head Mon-

day afternoon while playing on a swing under the boardwalk in front of the Excursion House. The child's sister, only two years her senior, acted as mistress of the ceremony and pushed the swing so violently that little Julia fell off in the sand. The fall did not hurt her, but when she

had risen to her feet the swing, re-

bounding, struck her in the forehead and knocked her senseless. Bystanders raised Julia and hurried home with her in alarm. Dr. J. E. Pryor was summoned, and by his kindly and prac-

tical attention little Julia was soon

smiling and ready for another juvenile experience--but not on the "nasty swing that hurt little Julia." Alarming rumors were afloat concerning this comparatively trivial accident. It was said that the child had

fallen on a clam shell, and received a

severe scalp wound from which the blood--the real, dark blue, life's blood --welled in an alarming manner. The sand was stained for several feet with this sanguineous fluid, and women fainted at the sight of the gaping wound, the dripping gore, and the ghastly face. Truly some men and women are but children of a larger growth. Alarmists are dangerous people, and it is a good maxim always to keep as near as possible to the strict line of veracity.

Steelmanville Items. Watters Jeffries is improving. Mrs. Mary Riehl, of Philadelphia, was a guest of Miss S. Wheaton last week. Captain and Mrs. J. B. Steelman entertained a company of friends one day last week. Miss May Wheaton, of New York, left Steelmanville on Saturday last to spend the remainder of her vacation at Ocean Grove, where her brothers and sisters are domiciled for the season. Misses Annie M. and Caddie W. Lewis were guests of their brother, Amos Lewis, of Somers' Point, on

Sunday last.

Mrs. Benjamin W. Lewis was thrown from an open wagon last Thursday and seriously injured. Robert Somers and family are visiting their parents in this place. There was a picnic on Thursday and Saturday evenings in Jeffries' Grove, in the interest of Friendship M. E. church.

Tuckahoe Happenings. Bentley Rogers, of Bridgeton, and William Hughes, of Cape May City,

were in this place Tuesday.

Mrs. Lorenzo D. Smith is failing rapidly, her relatives having been summoned in anticipation of a fatal termination of her illness. Reuben VanGilder, of Philadelphia,

spent a few days with his mother, who is very ill.

Mrs. Ella J. Steelman, wife of Cap-

tain Allen Steelman, died of cancer.

The funeral took place last Thursday at

Goshen.

Charles Bair, of Wilmington, and family, and William Stevens and fam-

Atlantic County's Asylum.

A stormy meeting of the Atlantic County Board of Freeholders was held Thursday, and after several hours of heated discussion is [sic] was decided to at once commence the erection of the $30,000 insane asylum at Smith's Landing, to provide for the county's insane, instead of sending them to the State Insane Asylum at Trenton, at a cost of $7000 each year. A long petition, headed by ten of Atlantic City's prominent physicians, in which they claimed that insane persons could not be properly treated and cared for by county, was the cause of the extra session. It had been decided several weeks ago to build, but the physicians' strong protest made a reconsideration necessary. Atlantic City members strongly opposed the building of the

Asylum.

The Methodists Won.

The famous lawsuit between the United Brethren and Methodists over the possession of a new church edifice at East Vineland came before a jury of twelve men at Newtonville Thursday. J. Stockley Budd, a Philadelphia lawyer acting for 'Squire Aspinwall, commenced by praising the United Brethren, but gradually shifted and finally charged the jury to bring in a verdict for the Methodists. After being out ten minutes the jury agreed that the edifice should remain in the hands of the Methodists. The Methodist sisters greeted the verdict by singing praises. C. K. Landis, Jr., counsel for the United Brethren, says he will certiorari the case into both the Supreme Court and Court of Chancery.

In the Moonlight.

A number of ladies and gentlemen

were out for a moonlight sail on the bay Monday evening, and an enjoyable

time was experienced by those fortunate enough to be of the party. The shimmering of the moon's rays upon the waters was a sight calculated to stir the soul of a poet or an artist, and will long be remembered by the entire party. The yacht was favored with a sufficient

wind to make the trip one of perfect

delight, and many miles of blue water was cleft by the staunch yacht in the three hours that she was under way. Those participating were: W. W. Rich and wife, New York; Mr. and Mrs. Chapman, Mrs. O. J. Derusse, Mrs. Chapman, William Moore and wife, the Misses M. A. Shive, Mamie Thompson, R. Derusse, Emily Stevenson, M. L. Koch, William Thompson, and Lewis Borradaile, Philadelphia.

Change of Management.

The Excursion House went under new management Saturday. The firm of Brown & Champion, proprietors, has been dissolved, and Harry C. Brown will continue the business, assuming all the obligations of the firm. Mr. Brown

said to the RPORTER representative last night: "We have agreed to separate. I will continue to run this place, and will pay all debts. I propose to make this place the most attractive resort in the city. Already I have introduced several new features which the pleasure-seeking people very much appreciate. But there are other attractions which I have intended to introduce and will now be able to do so."

Ocean City Team Victorious.

The Ocean City team crossed bats on Saturday afternoon with the Cumberland Wheelmen club, of Bridgeton, and defeated them in a very interesting and

close game. The Ocean City team secured 20 runs and the Wheelmen 13.

The features of the game were the batting of Martin, Marshall and Conver, for Ocean City, and the fine field work of Mengel, Hitchner and Hughes, for the Wheelmen. The score by in-

nings was:

Ocean City, 2 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2--20 Cumberland W., 1 1 1 2 1 2 2 1 2--13 These teams will play again on Wednesday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, on the beach diamond.

Law Breakers Sentenced. At the special term of the Atlantic County Criminal Court, held at May's Landing, Thursday, Judge Thompson imposed sentences as follows: Sarah and Rachel Lambson, disorderly housekeeper, one year each; Jennie Jones,

disorderly housekeeper, eighteen months; William Allen and John Johnson, larceny, three months each.

Tour to the North via Pennsylvania Railroad--The Last of

the Season.

The last of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's personally-conducted tours to the North will leave on August 20th. These tours traverse more than seventeen hundred miles of the most magnificent country, and a participant in the last tour, an extensive traveler, states that in his experience he has found no other tours of equal distance

so replete in points of genuine interest, every one of which is in itself well worth the trip. The stop at Quebec, a

new feature, added greatly to the success of the last tour.

The names of the places to be visited

are familiar to all and suggestive of wonderland. No matter how much may be expected, one cannot be disappointed in Watkin's Glen, Niagara Falls, Thousand Islands, Quebec, Montreal, Au Sable Chasm, Lake Champlain and George, Saratoga, or the Highlands of the Hudson. The round-

trip rate of $100 from New York,

Brooklyn, Newark, Trenton, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Baltimore and Wash-

ington will cover all necessary expenses during the time absent. A beautiful descriptive itinerary can be procured from the tourist department of the Pennsylvania Railroad, 1196 Broadway, New York, or room 411, Broad Street Station, Philadelphia.
