FERRYVIEW
A"GHARMING" RESORT BEING CONDUCTED IN GLEN OSBORNE.
Haysville's New Burgess.
FAMED   FOR   ITS   ATTRACTIONS.
Th,e peaceful and cultured settlement up the river bearing the
classic name of Glen Osborne, not
far from the border line of Sewickley borough, is destined in the not
far distant future to become famous as the nucleus of a popular
resort.
This resort, or rendezvous, as it
may more properly be called, is situated on the river bank a short distance above the dam, There are
three or four villas embowered in
the abundant foliage (evil-minded
persons would call them shacks),
but the appellation is so cruel as to
jar upon one's sensibilities.
The origin'of the name, "Ferry-
view," is interesting. It is derived
from two words, "ferry" and "view."
Or to transpose the term—"view
the ferry." There you have it in a
nutshell. There is a ferry at this
point which is in charge of a gentleman bearing the euphonious
name of John Smith. John is engaged in the laudable pursuit of
emulating his compatriot Gharon on
the River Styx. He carries passen-
sengers, some of whom bear spirits
in the original packages and otherwise.
This opportunity is embraced by
a considerable portion of our population, both white and colored.
There is no race discrimination in
this case.
To lay aside jest and come down
to solid facts, it might be said that
this feature is becoming a public
scandal, besides being a menace
and reproach to the community.
It is being resorted to by some residents of this place from whom bet-
Charles G. Coates has been appointed burgess of the borough of Haysville.
Mr. Coates is manager of the mechanical department of the "Sewickley Valley."
He was president of the Pennsylvania Band Association in 1889 and is a member
of the Republican committee. He is well known in sporting circles, having been
pitcher for many of the leading baseball teams of the country and is at present considering a contract with the Philadelphia team. He was one of the fastest sprint-
ersJn the country, holding the state record in 1895 and 1896. He is a high degree
Mason and a member of Pittsburg Commandery, No. 1. Knights Templar.
Burgess Coates is being urged by the independent Republicans, Citizens and
Democrats to come out for Assembly in this district. He is undecided as yet, and
future developments will decide his course.
ter things might be expected and
also by others of whom better
things never were •expected. And
to make the matter worse Sewickley has to bear the brunt of the evil
results which follow. It is becoming so bad that Bank street,
near the borough line, is the scene
of quite a few orgies. The other
evening two drunken negroes engaged in a fight' on Bank street,
which ended in a fusillade of brick
and stones, and the residents arc
complaining.
A member of the Osborne borough council stated that measures
had been taken to locate the trouble and to put a stop to it. The
borough has no constable at present, but the services of a detective
tive have been secured and he is
endeavoring to secure some tangible evidence bearing upon the
case. There are said to be several
places in the willows across the
river, where crowds of men and
boys congregate and indulge in all
kinds of liquid refreshments. A
quartet of patrons of these places
was arrested the other day for holding up a passerby. The law-abid-

TABLET UNVEILING.
MR.-  WAY'S  YOUNG  MEN'S   BIBLE
CLASS WILL HOLD IMPRESSIVE SERVICES.
AT   9.30   TO-MORROW   MORNING.
/
In honor of the memory of Mr.
John Way, Jr., the members of the
bible class founded by him some
fifty years ago will hold an impressive service at the Y. M. G. A.
building to-morrow morning at
9.30 when they unveil a beautiful
bronze tablet recently purchased
by the class as a token of esteem
for their departed teacher.
The tablet will be placed in the
room known as Mr. Way's Bible
Glass Room, which is on the first
floor, right* opposite the secretary's
office, and which was so generously
set aside for this class by the Board
of Trustees of the Y. M. G. A.
The exercises  prior to the  unveiling will take place in the gymnasium, where everything has been
arranged   by   the   committee   in
charge to carry out an impressive
program fitting to this memorable
occasion.    Mr. W. K. Brown, who
succeeded Mr. Way as teacher of
this class, will have charge of the
service.    There will also be some
special music, and it is proposed to
have several of the oldest members
unveil the tablet.
This class is reaping the benefits
of so many, many years of active
Ghristian service on   the part of
Mr. Way, all through his love for
and desire to have the young men
of the Valley develop   into true,
manly   and Ghristian   men.    The
good accomplished is inestimable, %
there being evidences of it throughout the entire community, and truly
can we say
"He, being dead, yet speaketh."
It is earnestly hoped that every
member of this class, that can pos-   •
sibly do so, will attend this session,
