Progressing Well.   Will be
Ready for the Roof in
a Few Weeks.
DESIGN FOR
HOSPITAL FLAG.
Work on the Sewickley Hospital
is progressing well, and if the
weather is not bad, the roof will be
on in about six weeks. The contractors, which, are the Nicola
Lumber Gompany, of Pittsburg,
have twenty able men, bricklayers,
masons and carpenters, at work, in
charge of foreman Robert Boggs.
The stone work rises solidly and
symmetrically from the hillside,
among the large trees, which will
not be laid low. Secure upon the
stone the red brick walls are now
about ten feet high and reveal the
graceful proportions of the new
building. A couple of hundred feet
beyond the fine old Watson spring
house, the eye of the passer-by
can note the rising walls of what
will be the most interesting structure in this valley. Connections of
water and gas supply pipes are now
being made with the main line on
Blackburn avenue,
The central building is 50x48
feet and two storied. Each wing
is 86 feet 8 inches by 153 feet. A
slate roof will defy rains, and hard,
solid shale supports the foundations. A substantial retaining wall
of stone protects the building at
the rear, and the Bishop Construction Gompany is making good roadways to and around the structure.
If there is no serious delay in the
coming1 of material, five months
Will find the building ready for
interior  finish.    The   summer   of

Invitations have been issued by
Superiorior Lodge No. 366, K. of
P„ of Allegheny, for the first
quarterly union meeting, which
will be held on Saturday evening,
October 27th, at Schuerd's hall.
This will be a fine meeting. A
number of the Grand Lodge officers

good speeches, music and a banquet. It is understood that there

Made Vice President.
Mr. Frank G. Paulson, of Frederick avenue, returned to his home
on Tuesday evening, from New
York, where he had been attending
the annual convention of the Knox
Hat Gompany. He was honored
by being elected vice president of
that body for the coming year.
Struck in the Eye.
While playing in the school yard
recently, Master Morris Ghapman,
son of H. L. Ghapman, of Nevin
avenue, was struck in the eye by a
colored boy and a painful wound inflicted. The blow smashed the
glasses the little chap was wearing
and apiece of glass had to be removed from the eye,
Hit with a Stone.
Master Francis Luty, of Quaker
Valley, while on his way to school
last Wednesday morning, on the
rear of a wagon hauling small
stones, was struck in the head by
the colored driver with a stone, and
had to be taken home to have the
wound dressed,- as it bled very profusely and was thought at first to
be a much more serious wound
than it really was.
Fixing the Keystone.
The keystone over one of the
windows in the First National Bank
building, which had sunk is being
raised, and the damaged wall will
soon be repaired.
Important Matters
Werejiscussed
At    Meeting   of    Sewickley
Valley   Business   Men's
Association Held on
Tuesday Evening.
POSTOFFICE SITE COMMITTEE
MAKES A GOOD REPORT.
President W. G. -Murray presided
at the regular meeting of 'the Sewickley Valley Business Men's Association held oh Tuesday evening,
and after the roll-call and reading
of the minutes by Secretary Quinn,
the real business began.
The various committee reports
were read and Mr. Diehl, who represented the Givic committee and
the Association in the matter relative to having Mr. Warren Manning,
the noted landscape artist and engineer come to Sewickley, gave a
brief account of the trip over the
town and of the meeting held in
the Y. M. G. A. building last Saturday evening, and a warrant was
ordered drawn in favor of the committee in charge to help defray
expenses.
The committee in charge of the
postoffice site made a report as to
what had been accomplished and'
arrangements were made to meet
the officials and have proper conveyances on hand to take them on
a tour of inspection, The burgess
and borough council were also invited to participate in the reception. A change in the plans, whereby the officials who were in
Pittsburg were called suddenly to
New York, necessitated the postponing of the Sewickley inspection
until a future date not yet decided
upon.
Several other matters were
brought up for consideration under
the Givic committee, the one being
a request to have Booker T. Washington come here to lecture for the
benefit of the A. M. E. Zion congregation. The officers of the
church asked to have the business
men endorse this movement, as
they wanted to raise, money to improve their property. A motion to
have a committee appointed to look
into the matter was lost.
The civic committee of the Woman's Glub, through its street committee, sent in a request relative to
the displaying of goods in front of
stores where the same are exposed
to germ-laden dust, etc., also about
the obstructing of sidewalks, asking
that the practice be, abolished.
This matter called forth considerable discussion and will be disposed
of at the next meeting, when a
further report will be made.
The committee in charge of the°
reception to be held November 20
will report through   its sub-committees to the Association at the
next meeting.

District Attorney's office that will
be a credit to him and a lasting
benefit to attorneys and the citizens
of Allegheny Gounty. He is deserving of your support. Gome
out next Thursday and hear him
speak.
