The Second Rantist Church.

AS previously advertised in THE ARGUS,
the dedication of the Second Baptist
church (corner of Exchange and Canal
streets) took place on Sunday, the services
commencing at 2:30 P. NJ. The church VIZ
crowded with both white and colored PEG
pie. After the hymn, Rock Of ages
Rev. j. S. Mabie, of the First Baptist
church, read the eighth chapter of Kin gs
and sixth cf Chronicles. Then followed
prayer by Rev. Robert Hawkins. Then
the hymn There is Fountain" The
dedication sermon was next preached by
Rev. j. s. Mabie. AT the close of his ad-
dress Rev. Mr.. Mabie offered prayer, after
which the hymn Coming to the Cross
was sung. A collection was then taken up
to release the church from its building
debt; the hymn Nearer My God TO Thee
was sung, and the dedication services con-
cluded with benediction by the pastor
Of the church. Rev. Robert Hawkins.
Our colored friends have been struggling
tor some time to get house of their own,
and have, at last, succeeded We hope
they may be encouraged to keep up their
Sunday school and church, doing much
good in the moral and social elevation Of
their people,

A visit ola few hours to this thriving
business centre, on Thursday of last week
developed the fact that the people of this
town belong to a class who believe in build
ing up and making beautiful the habita-
tons of man.
Along the principal streets new build
ings and business houses seem to be
springing up like magic, and inspire an
active, enterprising interest in every
beholder The streets in every direc
ton were fairly crowded with city business,
and teams from the country, loaded with
produce, gave an appearance of rapid
growth and prosperity seldom met with il
western city. We noticed in many
places the new arrival of large quantities
of bales, boxes and barrels, packed with
fall and winter goods of every conceivable
description, and many Of the merchants
appeared to be making preparations fol-
carrying heavier stock of goods than usual
owing to large prospective increase O
trade during the coming fall and winter
We hope soon to repeat our visit to thi
rising metropolis, and give our readers
more extended notice of its bushes
houses and furnishing manufactures

ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL AT THE
CENTENNIAL.
And the Quadrilateral Cities Surround
ing It.

Arrangements have been made to pro-
cure correct view of Rock Island Ar
senal and its surroundings, for exhibition
next year, at the centennial In order to
do this frame tower was built to height
sufficient to take Photographic views Of
the Arsenal, and of Rock Island, Moline
and Davenport-not as the arsenal appears
now, but as it will appear after the plans
shall have been carried out and all the
buildings are in place, Every one of these
great armories and machine shops will be
modelled in plaster of paris, and colored
to the exact imitation of the noble struct-
ure. The ten main buildings will be
placed on either side of the central avenue
as the plan proposes, with all their beauti
full surroundings, the commandments resi-
dence, the officers homes, Sylvan Water
Rock Island, Moline, and the line of beau
tRul bluffs in their rear, on the south, anC
of the river, Davenport and its bluffs OF
the north-and so taking in perfect view
of the government domain and its imme
date vicinity, Of course all this work il
not to be in the material mentioned above
Aside from the buildings, the art of th'
painter will be brought into requisition il
such a manner that the scene when viewet
through the screen behind which it will b,
placed will appear unbroken. The mode
is to be placed on a table and will occup.
a space II by 20 feet in extent, exclusive
of the surroundings. The size of tn
buildings, as compared with the real ones
will be as l to 800. As planned thes
models and views will be among the bes
specimens of work of the kind ever gottel
up,
The work Of preparing the models @
the building is progressing, under the di
rection of the War Department. Her
Eggloffstein, who prepared models of som
of the finest buildings in New York cit
for the Vienna Exposition, as specimen
of American architecture, is doing tn
work. The results of his skill at Vienn
attracted the notice and won the admire
ton of all visitors,
The models will not be set up here
they must be completed near the scene G
exhibition-thus it will be impossible t
exhibit them at home. After the close c
the exhibition they will be conveyed

material will be very durable. 1t is tn
