OCEAN CITY SENTINEL. THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1895.

We shall be glad to receive items of news and communications of interest to this community and our readers everywhere.

All communications should be accompanied with the full name and address of the writer, not necessarily for publication, but a guarantee of good faith.

Captain Heavily Fined. Collector of the Port Enoch Higbee recently received a complaint of a schooner anchored in the Inlet at Atlantic City. It was said to be visited day and night for immoral purposes by men. The complaint alleged that four women were aboard. Warrants were sworn out, and Captain Wrenn, who commands the vessel, and the women were put under arrest. At a hearing at Somers' Point the testimony was conclusive, and the Collector fined Captain Wrenn $400. The fine was paid.

Forty Hours' Devotion.

The "Forty Hours' Devotion" at St. Augustine's Roman Catholic church, which began at the High Mass on Sunday, was continued Monday. The altar was handsomely decorated with

flowers and illuminated, and the Blessed Sacrament was exposed for the veneration of the faithful who visited the church during the day, spending

some time at each visit in silent adoration and prayer. A High Mass was celebrated at 9 a. m., with a full choir. In the evening a prayer service was held, at which Father Lyons delivered

a brief lecture on purgatory and the

efficacy of prayers for the dead. This was followed by benediction. At 9 o'clock this morning another High Mass was celebrated and brought the Devotion to a close.

Is He Legally Collector?

At the last meeting of the Borough Council, Councilman Champion raised the question of the legality of Collector Schurch's tenure of office. He quoted a law which provided that the Collector's bond should be renewed annually, failing in which the office of Collector should be declared vacant. After some discussion the matter was referred to the Borough Solicitor to

report thereon at the meeting to be held next Friday evening.

In advance of the solicitor's opinion, the Mayor stated to-day that an investigation into the subject "has demonstrated the fact that the collector's bond was made, given and accepted, with

undoubted security, to cover the

period of his official occupancy of the position--for three years; that the borough of Ocean City is responsible for the acceptance of the bond given in good faith, and if a renewal is required it must be on the importunity of

the borough officials who, by their acceptance of the bond, committed themselves to its entire sufficiency." The Borough Council having passed upon the bond, became responsible for its existence, and as renewals are mandatory under the law, the Borough Council is equally responsible for neglecting to demand them.

Bourgeoise & Son have been awarded

the contract to erect two brick-and-frame houses on Central avenue, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets,

for E. Ewing.

Adolph Edward Heine, manager of the cement department for Samuel H. French & Co., Philadelphia, and his family, have come down to spend a week with the family of his sister, Mrs. Samuel Schurch, Bellevue Bath-house. W. E. Massey & Co. have sold a large plot of ground on Asbury avenue between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, comprising fourteen lots, to D. Harry Chandler, of Vineland. Mr. Chandler will improve this piece of

ground at once.

M. B. Winner and family, of Philadelphia, are at the Morris cottage. Mr. Winner represents the Provident Life and Trust Company, of Philadelphia, but personally needs no introduction, as he has spent the summer in Ocean City every year since its organization. 'Squire Myers left the city Monday for a trip to Niagara Falls. He will visit relatives at Bridesburg and Philadelphia, where his eldest son, James, will join him in the excursion. The 'squire will be accompanied from this city by his youngest son, Charles

Myers, Jr.

The attention of the police has been called to the practice of boys filling up the street railway switches with sand, gravel and other obstructions, which give great annoyance to the street-car employees, and are liable to derail the cars. Boys who are detected in these senseless pranks will be ar-

rested.

The remains of Mrs. Willetts, wife of Captain J. S. Willetts, who died on Saturday morning after a lingering illness, were conveyed to Palermo Sunday, leaving her late residence on Central avenue, near Seventh street, at 1.30 p. m. Funeral services were held at the Palermo Baptist church, after which the interment took place in Seaside

cemetery.

Marshal Conver was on duty Satur-

day evening in addition to his day tour at the request of the Mayor. It would be judicious, the Mayor said, for both the marshal and Officer Carhart to give the most assiduous attention to police duty for the remainder of the summer season, especially on Saturday and Sunday evenings when the con-

gregation of visitors is greatest. The new music room of "The Strand"

with its brilliant lighting and fine ven-

tilation should prove a great attraction for the young people this season. I have on hand several small cottages

which I will trade for lots located between Sixth and Twelfth streets, Ocean City. I also have some good building lots on which I will erect cottages for

any one wishing to invest in a home

by the sea. Terma reasonable, and first

mortgages taken on the properties when desired. Correspondence solicited. ABEL D. SCULL, Builder.

A Kleptomaniac. There seem to be a few kleptomaniacs, to put it mildly, in our midst. A bustling young woman visited a prominent dry goods store, a few days ago, and

purchased a quantity of ginghams for making aprons. She returned to the store later on, and, handing a waist belt to the lady, said, "I don't think I need this. Please give me the money back."

The lady said she did not remember selling the belt, in fact she was quite sure she had not. But the bustling apron maker insisted that she had, and the lady, to avoid a scene, took the belt and paid the money. The store-

keepers allege that the young woman

stole the belt, which was one of several that lay in a box on the counter. The eccentric manner of the same damsel was remarked in another dry goods story, and the conclusion was come to that she is a kleptomaniac. A packet of motor railway tickets disappeared from the Eighth street

railway depot one day last week. Mr. Edwards, the ticket agent, admitted

that such was the fact and added that they had since been recovered. The young woman also visited one of

our boarding houses and carried away

some underclothing. The proprietress discovered the loss and started on a search, finding the guilty party on the beach, where the proprietress secured the stolen property. The young woman should have been brought to justice and punished for

these crimes.

Musical and Literary Treat. A large and select audience assembled in the Auditorium Thursday night to listen to Mrs. Florence Parker Paxson in readings and impersonations. It was a thoroughly representative gathering, which included the cream of the visiting and permanent population, and appreciated the intellectual and refining menu presented in a marked manner. Great interest was manifested from the commencement to the conclusion of the programme, from "The Mermaid Song," Glover's trio, by Misses Conner and Mrs. Macallister, to the pantomime, "Rock me to sleep," by eight handsome young ladies. It is unnecessary to speak of Mrs. Paxson's part, except to say that her opening piece, "The Debating Society," captured the hpise. amd was rapturously applauded. Mrs. Paxson sustained her reputation as a shining luminary. The rest of the programme was unexceptionally well

rendered, and received flattering approval.

Miss Edith Mills was in splendid voice, and gave a rare exhibition of her vocal powers. Her singing is tuneful, her register bountiful, her accentuation perfect. Mrs. S. A. Macallister, Miss Jean Macallister, and Harvey Lake acquitted themselves in their several numbers with unquestionable ability. Altogether the audience passed an evening of supreme enjoyment. Miss Margaret Vogt, as accompanist, had a difficult task to perform, having a piano that was sadly out of kelter. Nevertheless her work showed her high culture as a pianist.

Gone, but Not Forgotten.

Rev. Henry Mason Baum, D. C. L., an Episcopal clergyman, who has been delivering lectures at seaside resorts on "Discoveries in Egypt confirming the Bible," has run away from Atlantic City, leaving behind him numerous creditors who have nothing to show for the goods furnished that reverend gentleman except promises and some notes, which are thought to be worthless, on a New York bank.

Dr. Baum intended to electrify the people of this city with his lecture, but the people refused to be electrified in that way. His financial management was, however, not neglected here, for he forgot to discharge sundry small liabilities before his departure. Perhaps he has gone to Egypt to make further discoveries. "Take heed that ye be not deceived, for many shall come in my name."

The Ladies' Aid Bazaar.

The bazaar prepared for the benefit of the parsonage fund of the first M. E. Church, by the Ladies' Aid Society, was inaugurated on Thursday night.

Schurch's Bellevue bath house, where it was held, was transformed into a beautifully bower in which handsomely arranged flags, flowers and other

ornaments, were prominent features, in addition to the graceful and interesting ladies who presided at the several tables. Everything that good taste and decorative ability could accomplish in the way of turning the bathhouse into a suitable place for such an occasion seemed to have been done, and the ladies of the decorating committee are to be congratulated upon their successful achievement. The several committees in charge of the bazaar, and to whom much credit is due for their excellent management, are as follows: Fancy articles--Mrs. C. A. Campbell, Mrs. H. H. Bodine, Mrs. Dr. Waggoner and Mrs. H. S. Lake, Mrs. J. W. Smith. Candy stand--Miss Hannah Scull, Mrs. Wilbur Adams. Fancy cake--Mrs. R. B. Stites, Mrs. G. P. Moore, Mrs. Lydia Lee. Lemonade stand--Miss Emma Lee and Miss Lydia Gester. Decorating committee--Mrs. R. E. Cox, Mr. Kalbach, Miss Mary Lake and Miss Mary Moore. Great praise is due to the Ladies' Aid Society for their admirable conduct of the bazaar, which their industry and enthusiasm helped immensely in making so attractive. Out of the mass of articles presented for sale, there were only a few left on the tables at the close, showing the energetic manner in which the ladies in charge of the several tables addressed themselves to the commendable task they had undertaken.

Give them Protection.

Complaint is made by some of the storekeepers that men are allowed to come here from neighboring towns and villages, and dispose of their goods on the street without being obliged to pay a license fee. The storekeepers claim that as they reside here and help to defray the expenses of the municipal government by taxation, they are entitled the protection against those inter-

lopers.

Tbe complaint seems to be well grounded, and their demand for protection to their interests, which are

identical with those of the municipal government, should be attended to. The Mayor will no doubt cause this matter to be investigated, and in his resourceful manner will find a remedy for this obnoxious interference with the legitimate business of the storekeepers.

fifty years old.
