-*. - -* — MR 30 1904 i^Mtlii mSHim IIfmill .6 Pear no man, and do justice to all men/' Vol. I. SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1904. No. 33 SPECIAL MEET! OF THE MAPLE GROVE PLAN OF LOTS . -PRESENTED AND APPROVED. Council held a special meeting on Tuesday evening to consider the Maple Grove plan of lots. The meeting was called to order at 7.50 o'clock with President Miller in the chair and Messrs. Woods, R. R. Brown, Atwell, Koch, Straw, Solicitor Stoner, Engineer Gampbell and Glerk Knox present. Several gentlemen representing the properties were present and presented profiles and drawings showing the streets to be opened or extended, the grades to be established, etc., and explained in detail what they proposed to do with the consent of Gouncil. Maple Grove plan lies east of Ghestnut street, between the railroad and river and embraces the properties of Mrs. J. Sharpe McDonald and Mrs. Hannah Nevin. The plan includes 106 lots. Maple street is to be extended to the borough line, and a new street, to be named Ohio, will run along the river front. McDonald and Oak streets will intarsect these at right angles. A considerable change in the grade of Maple street will be required. On Maple and Pine streets ten- inch sewers will be laid, and on McDonald and Oak streets they Will be eighteen inches. Granolithic walks will be laid and everything put into good shape. The Gouncilmen reviewed the plans and profiles carefully and after considerable discussion, in which assurances were given that all the plans would conform to the borough regulations, and that Borough Engineer Gampbell should have a general supervision of the work, Gouncil approved the plans. Will Celebrate Mass. For the benefit of Catholics residing in Ambridge Holy Mass will be celebrated for the first time Sunday at 9 o'clock, by the pastor, Rev. F. F. O'Shea in the Ambridge Trust Gompany building. Men's Meeting. The men's meeting in the Baptist Ghurch Sunday afternoon will be addressed by Rev. William Tipper, his subject being "The New Man." Methodist Episcopal Church. The Rev. William Tipper, of the Pittsburg Conference, will occupy the pulpit of the Methodist Episcopal Ghurch next Sunday. In the morning he will preach on the topic "Earth's Renewals," and in' the evening, "Gommonplece Heroes." New Buildings. Miss Emily Abercrombie will build two veneered brick houses on Nevin avenue at a cost of $5,500 each. Mr. R. H. Hill is the contractor. They will have all the latest improvements. Albert Ague will build a veneered brick house on Hill street at a cost of $5,600. R. H, Hill is the contractor. Marginal Readings. Rev. R. A. Benton, rector of St, Stephen's Episcopal Ghurch, has contributed to the "Ghurch News" for May an able and interesting article on the Marginal Readings Bible. The writer calls the clergy of the church to task for their failure to give the new version a fair trial in the services. The "Ghurch News" is the official organ of the diocese of Pittsburg. Injured Her Knee. Mrs. James Gooper, of Genten- nial avenue, had the misfortune to slip from the step of a ladder on which she was standing while arranging some bric-a-brac, and painfully injuring her knee. The accident occurred on Wednesday evening. o And the Stork Appeared. The great white stork hovered over the home of Mr. Joseph B. McPherson, on Fountain street, one day last week, and now Mr. McPherson is wearing a much larger hat than he usually wore, but why shouldn't he; it's a bouncing boy. Sure Signs. "Straws tell which way the wind blows," is part of an old saying, and it is true. If our citizens will keep their eyes on a certain element in our town they can easily discover the location*of the "thirst parlors.-' There are several hovels in the vicinity of the Osborne dam which do a thriving trade and which should be wiped out. These places are well patronized by Sewickleyans, at least they can be seen hanging around these places on Sundays, and we do not presume that they are there merely to see how the work on the dam is progressing. Rough House. The slumbers of the residents of Gentennial avenue, near Broad street, were rudely interrupted on Saturday night about 12 o'clock by shrieks of murder, police, help, etc., by a colored woman who resides in that neighborhood. All that could be learned of the affair was to the effect that two gentlemen of color who had called on the young ladies of the house referred to became mixed in a bit of a melee and upset the stove and otherwise damaged some bric-a-brac. The excitement lasted about 15 minutes, but no arrests were made. NEWS FROM AFRICA. AN INTERESTING, LETTER CONCERNING THE DEATH OF MISSIONARY JONES. Mr. R. H. Hill, of this place, is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Nash, of the Soudan, which came through the Pittsburg branch of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. It states that Mr. Jones' death occurred on March 9, at midnight from black water fever, and much to the surprise of his friends, he lingered for a week. This dread fever generally proves fatal in a few hours. Mrs. Jones was by the bedside of her stricken husband, as were also Mr. Nash and Howard Smith, two faithful missionaries. The remains of this faithful servant of the Master, were prepared for burial by sorrowing friends and quietly laid to rest in a retired place where lie the remains of other missionaries. Mrs. Jones is in apparent good health and will be, for a while at least, with Miss Katie Heber, who is stationed in that part of West Africa. Will Pay the Bill. Mr. David R. Scott has been informed that his bill for services rendered to smallpox patients in our borough and for the collection of which he'had to resort to law. will be paid. This case dates back nearly four years, and Mr, Scott secured judgment against the borough before Alderman McMaster, of Pittsburg. Mr. Scott, who was constable at the time, was acting under instructions of the council and board of health, and when he presented"' his bill the authorities refused to recognize it. They will now pay it with interest.
