THE religious meeting at Pixies, con-
Quoted by the Evangelists Whittle and
Bliss, was very largely attended last
evening. The seats were all occupied,
and even standing room was in demand.
Mr.. Whittle's sermon, from the words
"Come unto me all ye that labor and are
heavy laden, and will give you rest"
was reverently and thoughtiully listened
to by the immense audience. Mr.. Bliss
sang q number of his beautiful songs,
| and produced a marked impression on
| the audience.
MR.. J. G.. RELY, who fought so hard
| to get the contract tor furnishing and
Keeping in order the gasoline lamps OF
the city, now that he has received it
| doesn't want to furnish the necessary
| 1000 bonds. He thinks the value he
puts into the possession of the city by
| furnishing the lamps is sufficient guar
| anty of good faith, and it would be op-
pressiye to require him to furnish SO
heavy bond.N
AT the meeting of the Park Commits
sioners yesterday afternoon, the Engi-
| neer of the Parks reported that the plans
| for East Court street abutting on Eden
Park involved cut oftwenty feet, which
would cut away the Shelter-house road
in the park. He thought that the line of
Court street might be SO changed as to
avoid this difficulty. Messrs. Dawson,
Gather, Stoms and Laws were appoint
ed committee to meet the Board of I'M
proyements tomorrow afternoon at half
past 3 O'Clock and confer on the matter.
AT the meeting of the Board of Park
Commissioners, President Pendleton re-
ported the history of the parks during
The year. He stated that the limited
amount of money levied for the use Of
the Board was by no means adequate to.
carry out the plan of improvements for
the year which had been submitted by
the Superintendent. He further stated
that it was their duty to invest that
which is placed in their hands to the
best advantage. The greatest possible
care has been taken in the selection of
the trees, most OF them coming from
nurseries.
THE ball at Greenwood and Mozart
Halls was a complete success and will
net the handsome sum of about 81, 800 for
the family of the late Captain Farrell,
which, with the amount already raised
in their behalf, will swell the sum to
nearly $1,000. Too much credit can not
be given the officers and members of the |
police force Tor their prompt action and
unbounded generosity which touches the
heart of every true lover of humanity, |
and will prove lasting source Of graft
tude and substantial comfort to the fam
lily of the lamented and noble officer, |
Captain Farrell. The ball was well and |
handsomely conducted, and the large |
number who attended were in every in
stance highly gratified with the manage
ment and result of the affair. Colonel
Snelbaker, Mayor Johnston and large |
numbers Of other city officials were pres
ent.
