The Rrandywine Kasin.

This morning we had call from
William N. Field, Of the firm of ]. Rid
die, Son & Co., propristo:s of the manu-
featuring mills at Riddl's Banks. In
reference to the poisonous matter which
foated down on the surface Of The water
Of the Brandywins on Sunday morning
LIE explicitly denies that the poisonous
matter came from their mills and the
reason the letter sent by the water de-
partment was not answered sooner was
because 1t arrived too late to be an
swered in time to be noticed in yestsr-
days papers. Tbs letter was answered
40 soon received and the water depart
ment was promptly informed that
no dye stuffs of any character what
ever had besn let Into the Brandywins
until four O'Clock on Sunday after
noon and even then the matter let out
contained no or poisonous matter.
When they received word of the az
fair, Mr.. Field says the Waterman was
Intercepted strictly, and hs averred
over and over that nothing was lot
out until four O'Clock on Sunday az
ternoon. Mr.. Field says that the firm
with which he is connected and the
present manager of the mills have
been very particular not to do any
thing which would faint the water Of
the Brandywins and cause complaint
on the part of the citizens of Whining
ton. We arc pleased to make this
statement for Mr.. Field, for we were
sure the nauseous matter did not
come from the Riddle mills.

The MethoAIst Prot estant Appoint.
meM6.

Rev. Mr.. Sullivan who was lately ap.
pointed TO the FirstM. p. Church al
Seventh and Walnut Streets, preached
his initial sermon there on Sunday
morning last, taking for his text: "And
Enooh walked with God" The sermon
is said to have been a powerful one,
Astounding in vivid pictures of the
higher life and by his eloquent portray
ais thereof seemed almost to lift his
hearers to the outer gates Of the Celes-
tisl City. Fervent calculations from
his hearers showed that he had won
his way to their hearts, In the even
ing he had crowded house again at
which time he plainly laid down the
premises that religion is not a matter
OF mere pleasure, or emotion, but of
fact and duty. That work and not
mere profession, is the test of a chris.
tian life. The member are greatly
pleased with Mr.. Sullivan and he ia al
SO pleased with them. The people
may therefore look for harmony in their
work. A meeting OF the congregation
was held in the church las, evening
and arrangements made to start g Sun
day School in connection with the
church.
