Tlielr Troubles.
Tho nine Democratic inombors of the Bor
ough Council have held olio or two prelimin
ary meetings' since tho election, with a vlow
to making a slate, but tho otio held last
night was tlio first "real" caucus. They ad
journed, however, without coming to an
agreement as to who shall fill tho ofllces dur
ing the fiscal year. It is said tho best of
feeling exists, mid there Is no doubt but that
the Deiuocints will come to an agrctmeiit be
foie the 7th of March, when Council wilt
leorganlc.
Thetonroany iiunilor of candilatcs fir
the various positions, and new ones aro
cropping out dally. The bono of contention
at last night's caucus, it is said, was over the
Solicitor and Secretaryships, It has been gen
erally conceded that M. M. llurke. Ksq.,
would havo no opposition as tho successor to
Solicitor Pomcroy, but ono of the Council
men from tho Fifth want demanded the ap
pointment of John 11. Coylo, Ksq , and tho
persuasive eloquence of his colleagues could
not change him. This was tho bone of con
tention and tho principal reason for a dis
agreement. Tlio Secretaryship was nlso freely venti
lated, n new applicant appearing in the
person of ox-Justico of tho Pearc M. J.
Lawlor. His namo was presented by u
Councilman from the Fourth ward. Anothor
ex-Justice, John J. Cariliu, is also an appli
cant, and tho names of Johu Cnrtln iind
Young Campbell, Irom Turkey Kim, wero
presented. James Coakley, in tho opinion of
some, would fill the bill.
Tho "blue coats and brass buttons" attract
many of tho faithful. Patrick Graham
may succeed Chief Tosh ; in fact, his chances
are said to be very good. Martin Foyle,
Martin O'Hara, James Kirwau, Patrick
Murphy, Thomas Hand, and a score of others,
including Councilman Englert's "dark
horse," aro also applicants for policemen.
The Water Superintendent is giving tliu
caucus sums trouble. Tho majoiity of tho
members aro anxious to put aside their per
sonal desires and elect a competent man for
tho position. The i ame of Councilman
William McGuiro has been suggested, and ho
Is being urged to accept. H ivlng a thorough
knowledge of tho plant and knowing Its
needs, ho would ho tho "right man in thu
right placi." Hi appointment would meet
with general approval. Other names are
mentioned, tlioso of Johu J. Cardin aud
James Hell.
It is said Councilman lirciiuau is satisfied
with a small plum that of assistant to tho
Water Superintendent.
While the caucus failed toagrcolast even
ing, there is no doubt they will come to a
satislacloiy understanding. They should en
Juy the fruits of their victory.

Atlantic City as Winter Sanitarium.
Whilo for many years tho capacity of At

been increasing rapidly aud aro still strained
io ineir-luuesi exicni uurilig tne summer
season, it is only of lato years that its great
value as a wiiitersanitariuin has been known
Year after year many persons rushed oil' to
tho South and the West India Islands dtiriii
tho winter, while in tho opinion of uiibiastd
persons who have tried all tho different re
sorts, they could find nearer homo tho same
comfoits and health without tho enervating
inllucnco so common to southern climes.
Hut slowly and surely Atlantic City has be
come better known in this lespect, so that Its
winicr population exceeds tne summer
crowds of some of its would-be ilvals.
Atluntio City throughout tho Winter pre
serves a temperature of 10 to 12 dogreos
higher than tho surrounding country. It is
claimed this is caused by tho Gulf stream
swerving at this point nearer shoro, and this
fact added to tho position of tho boardwalk
and bench, nearly facing tho south so receiv
ing all the benefits of tho uin, makes it as
valuable for Winter health as for Summer
pleasuro.
