Horner; committee on grounds, John Johnston, Ghas. S. Horner, James R. Pitcairn. With such men to look after things, the success of Mt. Sewickley is a natural sequence. FORTY FAMILIES NOW IN CAHP. That time-honored and lofty institution, the Mt. Sewickley Gamp- Meeting, has been in existence for over one-third of a century. It has had its ups and downs, but of late years all has been serene, and it has identified the name Sewickley. in. the hearts of thousands, with all that is beneficial and uplifting in open air service of the Methodist Gh'rrch. The thirty-seventh annual meeting will begin on August l'i when regular services commence. But the beautiful grove is already the resort of many cottagers, their being now forty fam- ili'.'o enjoying residence at the grounds. ■ Services will be conducted by P' i>ors of the Allegheny district, ar . the preacher in charge will be t! Rev. Z. M. Silsbaugh, of Pleas- a; Valley. He has .been in charge oi he noted camp-meeting at Ta- r turn, and is an able and expe- i"i iced man. There will be preach- i'f■ .■; every evening, and at 10.30 a. rc> and 3 and 7.30 p. m. on Sun- d ;s. An able vocalist will have C' u-ge of the singing, and the ho- te on the grounds is to be in good hf. ids; Hack service to Leetsdale station will be continued. There are several cottages still for rent, at from $10 to $35. All- tho trees are in a luxuriant condition and the grove has never appeared more attractive. The water supply is, as formerly, a feature. One well is 180 feet deep and the other is 86 feet deep. Each is supplied by strong springs of purest water. The ruling spirits of the Mt. Sewickley instution are the following iiijiwiilii Counci At the regular session on Monday- evening all the councilmen and officers answered to the roll call except Messrs. Huston and Brooks. The Village Improvement Society, which met the Saturday evening previous to suggest names for some of the streets that were to be re-christened, sent in their recommendations, also a letter thanking Gouncil for granting them this privilege, Edgeworth being one of the prettiest Boroughs in the Valley, with an inviting environment, it was but natural that the Improvement Society refrained from using names that would suggest the hustle and turmoil of city life, but rather adopt those that would suggest peace and quietness which is quite suggestive'in this village with its well shaded lanes broad lawns and pretty homes. The main idea was to substitute the words road and lane instead of street and avenue. This idea was, in ths main, carried out. There were two petitions, however presented from citizens residing at Ghestnut street and Grandview avenue, praying that these names be retained. President E. P. Lord, in a diplomatic way, took the matter up with the sponsors of these petitions, and after fittingly explaining the sentiment and desire that prompted the re-christening of these thoroughfares, the Ghestnut street petition was amended to read Ghestnut road. There was no animosity shown in either case, simply that the tie of long association and . familiarity' with these names was the main desire to retain them. The Grandview avenue case was held over and the other names suggested were adopted. The next order of business was the reading of a communication from the Manufacturers', Light and Heat Gompany concerning the laying of a four-inch gas line on Ghestnut road. Permission was granted. A letter was then read from Mr. D. Leet Wilson, president of the G. D. & P. Telephone Gompany, which had a bearing on Ordinance No. 13. The company is entering into hearty co-operation with Gouncil as regards removing unsightly poles, etc., and will reconstruct in .many places their lines, thus restoring the natural beauty of the roads and lanes. The street committee recommended that Mr. George Gibb be employed to furnish a team, operate the street sprinkler, and do other teaming when not sprinkling streets, for such a period as said committee may deem expedient, at a rate of $100 per month. This recommendation was approved. Mr. Gharles Hatton, representing the Edgeworth Hose Gompany, No. 1, brought the matter to the attention of Gouncil concerning the responsibility for the fire apparatus and appliances, which was given due consideration. There was also a communication read from the firemen, concerning a petition that they are desirous to circulate among the citizens to raise a subscription- to help them maintain their organization. Council is building them a new hose house, and will also furnish it, and it is self evident that the fire laddies will receive all due consideration from the citizens. The last order of business on the calendar was the'passing finally of two ordinances, No. 15 prohibiting vagrancy, and No.' 16 .requiring the displaying of a light during certain hours on bicycles. Adjourned, Succumbed To His Injuries. Mr. Charles P. Campbell Died on Saturday Evening Last, at 9.30, at His Home on Beaver Street. On Saturday evening last, at 6.30, death came to Mr. Gharles P. Gampbell, who was fatally injured on the afternoon of the preceding Tuesday. The deceased did not regain consciousness after the terrible fall from his vehicle, due to the frightened horse. Mr. Gampbell was the son of the late Gol. David Gampbell, and was born in Allegheny in 1855. For twenty years he had been a resident of Sewickley, and he was engaged in the fire insurance Business, being at one time also a director of the Ben Franklin Insurance Gompany. Inheriting a military instinct he became prominent, and was Gaptain of Gompany B, Duquesne Grays, of which his father was a leader. ' At the time of his death he was Gaptain of the Veteran Corps. His manliness and other noble qualities endeared him to all who knew him and his death is very deeply deplored. The deceased had been an invalid for over two years before his sudden death. Among his surviving sisters is Mrs. James G. Ghaplin. The funeral services were held at his late residence, Beaver street, on Monday evening. These were most impressive and were conducted by the Rev. W. 0. Gampbell. The singing of "Abide With Me," "Lead Kindly Light," and other touching hymns, was very feelingly done in solos by Mr. Richai d Griffith. i > i n 1. ■ .«' ;f i
