Tell YOur NA1R n l,Nra.

Every man ought to tell his isneighhors
about the great reductions in clothing at
J. T. Mnllin Il Son, Sixth and Market.
They have made great reductions in
many goods for the express purpose of
selling them, which they are determined
to DO, to make room for laying in stock
for Fall and Winter, which they are
now about to begin to manufacture. As
every one who knows this firm knows
that they ask no fancy prices, hut have
their goods marked in plain figures, and
at the very lowest price for which the
ready cash will buy them. From their
low price their goods have been marked
down to close them out. Call and see
for yourself Low great a bargain can be
had.

The Presbyterian Church.

Snow Hill Maryland, claims to have
been the cradle of the PRESBYTERIAN
Church in America. 1t is claimed
that Rev. Francis Mackenzie founded the
first Presbyterian Church on the conti-
nent at that place in 1853 or 1854. Snow
Hill is one of the Oldest settlements
in Maryland. 1t was laid out by act of
Assembly as early as 1856, torty-three
years before Baltimore was known as
an organized village. Parson Mackenzie
organized five congregations in Somerset
County, and it seems to be well attestel
that Snow Hill is the parent spot of
Presbyterianism in America. The sur
vlvlng congregation, that has an I'M
broken history for two centuries, pro-
poses to celebrate the two hundredth
anniversary by the erection Of Make
ME Memorial Church, and the enter
PRISE is not only eminently commenla-
Bile, but 1t should receive he generous
of Preshvtsrians
throughout the country. TIE New Cas-.
tie Presbytery, at its last session, urged
the General Assembly to recommend
the Mackenzie Memorial Church to the
favor of Presbyterians generally. Judge
Wilson, Congressman Covington and
Mr.. Smith, all of Snow Hill, are a com
mittee to receive contributions.

Yesterday afternoons session of Mn
nlcipal Court opened at 2 o'clock with
l. Judge Cummins on the bench. The
case of the Mayor and Council of Will
mington,. VS.. James A. Conner, charged
with violating city ordinance by OBJ
structing the sidewalk, was taken up
for trial.
Andrew q. Conner sworn, and testi-
fed that James A. Conner has a place
of business on Fourth street, near Mar.
ket that on or about the fifth day Of
June he had number of trunks more
than four feet from the building line:
he also had wheelbarrow standing
there ,all Of which tended to obstruct the
pavement.
Thomas f Weir testified that on or
about the fifth of June Andrew G. Con-
ner came to Squire Vandegrift's office
aud swOre out a warrant for James A.
Conner fer obstructing the sidewalk.
When he went to serve the warrant, he
saw several trunks standing on the
pavement, some of which were near the
curb.
Two witnesses were examined for the
defense, who testified that it was not
customary to keep trunks on the pave
ment; that those seen by the witnesses
had been placed there for the purpose of
being taken away.
After hearing argument by Mr.,
Turner, the Court offered to dismiss the
case on the payment of costs, but Mr..
Conner said he was not satisfied with
that, as he could be compelled to pay u
tine or costs every day. A lengthy ar
gument ensued between Mr.. Conner
anu the Judge, in which the Plaintiff
enueavored to convince the Court that
he had not violated the law, while the
Court was as certain, from the evidence.
that he had.
The Judge then called Andrew G.
Conner, the prosecutor, and questioned
him in reference to the length of time
the trunks We're permitted to stand on
the payment. While he was speaking
Mr.. Turner announced that Mr.. Conner.
the defendant, was willing to acceed to
the proposition of the Court and pay
the costs. The Judge said he wanted
to look further into it now, and con-
tinued his questions to the prosecutor.
When he had finished, he asked Mr..
Conner again if he was willing to pay
the costs, and he replied that he was
willing to do anything, so that he
could get through and 60 home.
Mr.. Turner then called up the case Of
Hickman Laws, the colored boy who
had pleaded guilty at the morning ses-
iion to assault and battery on Sarah

feared against him, and Judge
Jummins asked him, if he was

Entering the sacred walls of the pas

the solemnity of the OCCASION. First

deep, tender tones of the organ, broke
forth the soft, melodious voices with
"Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,

discourse on Pilgrim Prog ess, showing
the difficulty through which all had to
pass on their journey to the land of
promise, and how, when kneeling to

was refreshed by the eternal waters of
grace flowing from Gods throne. Mr..

1915, 900; Allen & BlaisdelI, $3.50, 900 !;
Il. A. Ramsay & Co., $4,000.
As the proposals of Roach & Sons
are regular in form and lowest in
amount it is probable that they will re-
ceive the contracts.
Gorringe, of Philadelphia, and the
Pnsey y Jones Company of this city,
declined to bid.
The Cramps say they do not see how
Roach can build the cruisers for his
bids. Their bid on the Chicago was the
very lowest possible.
The fact that Roach makes his own
steel does not, they state, alter the case
They can buy steel as cheap as he can
make it. Other bidders are grumbling
too. There is a great deal of talk
about an understanding-which Roach
is alleged to have violated-under
which the ships were to be divided
among the contractors, Roach to take
the Chicago, Cramps the Boston, Har-
Ian Il Hollingsworth the Atlanta, and
some st. Louis firm the Dolphin, SO as
to popularize the navy in the Mississippi
