First Excursion to Ocean City Delivers Long Beach Journey
Yesterday morning the first special excursion to Ocean City Maryland left this city under P W & B R management. About thirty passengers joined the ride, with the Dry Cornet Band aboard, enjoying a scenic trip through fertile farms and peach orchards. The voyage reached Ocean City after a steady 40 miles per hour, passing Delaware Junction, crossing Christiana Creek, and stopping briefly at several towns before arriving at the resort near Synepuxent Bay. The coastline offers three hotels, an excursion house, shops, and amusements, with a planned weekly train schedule from this city to Ocean City, seven hours on the beach, and board at 12 per week. The next trip is planned for Wednesday July 4th.

Illusory assets and real deficiencies in B and O stock
Philadelphia reporters examine the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's finances. They allege inflated assets, collapsed liabilities, and misreported figures by Col. Scott and Mr. Garrett, with losses estimated around ten million dollars and two thirds of ordinary share capital wiped out. The piece notes city and university holdings, distrust of parallel railroad accounts, and calls for truth in railroad reporting.

It rejects abstinence advocates and cautions against casual or daytime drinking that raises pulse or flushes the face. Moderate intake should accompany food, not disturb sleep, and remain subordinate to better dietary options.
