PROBABLE MINISTERIAL CALL
The SIKH Ward Park Pr0blem---Vic-

Side N0tati0ns.

A number of Annapolis street citizens
yesterday afternoon united III chase
after spotted canine which was seen
coursing wildly up and down several
streets in the neighborhoOd in an APP
parently rabid condition. The animal
was cornered and killed, when the
owner turned up in the person OF ward
Molineux (colored), who states that the
dog was valuable animal and not
nearly as mad as its slayers. He pro-
poses to air the matter in the courts.
At recent meeting of the entire
congregation of the Westminster Pres
bvterian church, it was UNANIMOUSLY
voted that call be extended to the
Rev. George F. McAfee, to the passionate
of the congregation. Mr.. McAfee is,
and has been for considerable time,
fina ncial secretary at Manchester col
lege. He is an old soldier, an eloquent
and powerful orator, and man emf
nentlv fitted to adorn the pulpit of the
church. 1t is hoped and confidently eX-
pected that call will be accepted. Since
the resignation of the former pastor OF
the church, Rev. W. d. Roberts, the
pulpit has had no regular occupant,
having been filled by ministers sent by
the presbytery for that purpose. General
satisfaction is expressed in all quarters
at the selection made by the PreSby-
terrain brethren.
The matter of park site for the
West side was brought up yesterday be-
fore the park commissioners and post
poned one week. There are trench
d Gus objections urged against the adOp-
ton of the site known as the "1.ienau"
plat. and strong fight will be made
against the proposed improvement IN
the rear of Mr.. Lienau'S premises. The
citizens Directing to the enclosure were
present in full force at the meeting, and
will be on hane again next Thursday to
Illustrate the scheme.
The preliminaries necessary to the
completion of the LawtOn tenement
block. corner of Clinton and Congress
streets, have been completed, and bids
will be opened in ten days for the cree
ton of the SuperStructure. The fOun-
dationS of the structure, which is ten
ement to cost $4,000. have been COM
pleted some months, and it is antici-
pated that the entire building will be
completed in time for occupation late IN
the fall of the present year.
Daniel s. Mantee, of Chicago. in COM
pany with several other gentlemen
from the Windy City, spent a good por
ton of yesterday in close examination
of West side property. The party eX-
pressed surprise and qualification at the
improvements which have taken place
in the past few years, but added that
the figures placed on real estate
by the present holders were entirely too
high to allow of any speculative move
ment. 1--WE are not here to buy, this
t,,,D 81
however, that the gentlemen accom-
panying me are in search of location
for business enterprise. They think
with me, though, that the property here
is unapproachable at the present price.
Oh, we may make deal yet, there's no
telling"
Some half-doZen cases were disposed
of in the Sixth ward court yesterday
morning. The case of Dunhlee & Brad
ley was dismissed OH motion of the

VS.. t. Beck was continued one week.
Prince & Houlton VS.. Ellen Byrnes was
decided in favor of the plaintiff, with
nominal damages and cost of suit. The
number of spectators present in the
court room exceeded that of any previ-
Gus session.
The Annapolis street commission yes
terQay MADE tour OF the street, ana
ordered descriptions of property and
maps to be secured by the secretary.
The commission will hold a meeting

Residents on Congress street and vi
entity are reveling in the luxury Of an
atmosphere free from dust. Natures
own sprinkler came to the relief of the
sufferers from the non-sprinkling pol
icy being pursued in the West end.
