great expense of freighting saved.

BrIgantine's MuddIe Straighten-
ed out.

The mandamus obtained last week to
compel the Councilmen of Brigantine
City to meet and transact the public
business of the town was very promptly
acted upon, for meeting of the munich
pal governing body had been held and
city clerk elected within forty-eight
hours of the serving of the mandamus
upon the recalcitraDt members.
The meeting was held on Friday night
and the office of City Clerk, which has
been vacant since last December, was
filed bysthe election of Constant Bowen
to that position. Tuesday, April 18th
was also set for the holding of the muni-
clpal election, which had been postponed
because the Council failed to meet and
fix the date and because there was NO
proper official to issue the legal call for
the election.
There are just forty-five voters in Brig
antine City and there are twenty-nine
Offices to fill.
Mayor Alfred Smith, who has held
that Office for several years, has stated,
so it is reported, that he is not q candi-
date for reelection, and there will pro-
badly be two tickets.
The Offices to be filed include that O
Mayor, for a term OF two years one
Councilmen at large, for term of three
years a treasurer, collector of taxes,
and an overseer ofthe poor, each for q
term of three years, and five members of
the Board of Education, each to be
elected for term of one year.
There are three commissioners of
appeal, each to serve one year beside
constable and justice of the peace for
the usual terms of five years.
In the wards, there being two in Brig.
antine, each will elect three Councilmen.
Of these one Councilman in each ward
will serve one year, one for two years
and one in each for three years.
Each ward will also elect an assessor
for term of three years, and one free
holder will be elected from the city for
three years.

sharp. When, years ago, her name
was Manayunk, she did not carry SO
much terror to the heart of the
enemy. Admiral Porter recognized
this fact, and through his influence
he had the monitors name changed
to the Ajax. Now the irOn-clad
Ajax, with her 15-inch guns, and her
HOtchkiss One-pOunders, is ready to
do battle for the honor of the flag of
the country at minutes notice.
Commander Dahlgren stated yes
terday that the Naval Reserves who
will man the Ajax are ready for duty
Just as soon as word is received from
Washington. The duty assigned
this monitor in case OF war is duty
on the lower bay as far as Cape May
and from Cape May up to Barnegat
along the coast. The Ajax is armed
with two 15-inch Dahlgren guns, i'm
which can be used either solid shot
or shrapnel shell. They would be
especially efficacious against unar-
mOred cruisers.-Review.
COSTLY BOAT IN PERIL.
The black hull and white super
l.. Z.
boat, the Robert A. VanWyck, caused
no little excitement yesterday morn
ing as she came into the Inlet. Every
one who saw the boat Immediately
concluded that she was Govern
ment craft, one of the smaller type of
war vessels preparing for emergencies
with Spain. Some were of the Opin-
ion that she was sent here as guard
boat, and Others that she had dis
patches to land.
If her coming caused comment, the
manner in which she entered the Inlet
was still more surprising. Pilot
Yates, in answer to signals, went
aboard and found that the boat
drew nine feet OF water and that
there were but seven feet of water on
the bar.

Il must get in,' said the Captain,
s'fOr have no anchor and no COAL
''Well,' replied the Pilot, lit is
risk. If you want to take it | will
pilot the boat in."
The reply was to turn on steam
and Pilot Yates turned the boat
about and employing her heavy pro-
peller as a plough, cut a sluice way
into the sand and safely crossed the
bar, but not until the Captain had
several nervous chills, one at every
stalling of the steamer in the sand.
The boat trembled and shook as if it
would go to pieces every minute as
it pounded its way over and through
the bar. The perilous trip across the
bar was made stern first. The Van
Wyck is costly vessel. Her entire
interior is solid mass of machinery
and fire fighting apparatus. Her
Captain, upon recovering his breath,
told the Pilot that the trick of taking
9-foot draught vessel through
seven feet of water, is as new to him
as it is nOvel.-Press.

Cincinnati, April 5. - Little interest
was taken in the election here yester-
day except in few factional fights
among the Republicans. Edward j.
Dempsey, Democrat, was elected su-
perior court judge over John Calvin,
Republican, by 1852. The vote in the
state was very light. Only municipal
officers were elected, and the issues
were purely local and often personal.
The following prominent cities elected
Democratic officers: Sandusky, Mans
