The Evangelical Alliance has branches in
Great Britain, the United States, Canada, New
Brunswick, France, Switzerland, Germany,
Italy, Denmark, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Syria,
Egypt, Africa, Japan and China. The address
issued by the officers of these branches says:
I'VE invite you again to make this beginning Q {
the year holy unto the Lord by united praise,
prayer. supplication and thanksgiving, that SO
"a sanctifying power may pass over the whole
year. We would invite you to avoid all uncer-
tain sound, and to be very definite in four
things that underlie our united prayers:
"First-In recognizing and confessing the
great needs which are increasingly apparent in
single believers, the whole living church and
the world. Let failure in the past be acknowl-
edged, not to be condoned, but to be done
with
"Second-In discerning and applying the sure
provision in Gods word, adapted to supply
those needs to the full. There remaineth very
much of this inheritance to be possessed.
"Third-In apprehending and taking hold of
the covenant OF God, and the conditions and
terms under which its blessings are granted
'Fourth-In expecting and watching for the
exact answers of grace, that such continuous
thanksgiving may arise from our hearts as shall
honor God and make the humble rejoice"

MORE BREWERY ENGAGEMENTS.
Spencer & LiddeII Will Double Their
Capacity and Make Other Changes.

spencer q Lddeu Will DouDIe Their
Capacity and Make Other Changes.
Another brewery in Pittsburg is to be en-
larged and greatly improved. Spencer &
LlddelPs brewery, between Twenty-tourth
and Twenty-ifth Streets, on Smallman
street, are going to make considerable alter
ations.
The firm can only brew about $1,000 bar
rels of beer year. Their orders, however,
are largely over that figure, but they can
not supply the orders. 1t has for some time
past been under the consideration of the
firm to increase their capacity, so that they
can brew enough beer to fill their orders.
There is negotiation going on between
Mr.. Liddell and the owners of some property
lying in the rear on the west side of their
brewery. If the firm obtain this property
they will make large annex. 1t is in
tended to double the brewery capacity, and
increase their storage facilities. They will
build a new malt house and en-
gine house. A new direct freezing
engine will be put in at a cost of
$500 There are now some four miles of
pipes In the brewery, but when the storage
room has been increased it will take at least
another two miles to keep the place cool.

A NUMBER OF ACTS PASSED.

On April q, 1854, supplement was
passed authorizing the company to borrow
money to proceed with the construction of a
bridge. In 1856 an act was passed binding
the bridge to the provisions of the original
act with the exception of the turnpike
clause. and binding them to the other pro-
visions that had been repealed incidentally
with the passage of the other supplements.
On April 81, 1857, an act was passed
locating the south abutment of the
bridge at the foot of Mckee (now South
Tenth street, and repeating that part of the
original act which related to making the
bridge free. A little later the north
abutment of the bridge was located at the
foot of Cross street, the street which leads to
the bridge from Second avenue.
The act of '56, together with several other
acts and supplements relating to this bridge,
wiped out all the provisions of the original
act calculated for the public benefit, or as
Mr.. Monro said, the Legislature repealed
everything in the original act that was in
any way inimical to the bridge company's
interests, and but for the legislative inter-
ference Pittsburg might soon be enjoying
the privilege of free passage over the South
Tenth street bridge.

HUNTING UP HISTORY.

When the balance of the committee with
drew Messrs. Nisbet and Monro continued
their search for information, with the result
that in half an hours time they found their
free bridge, in SO far as it related to the
South Tenth street structure, was beyond
the range OF vision. Mr.. Nisbet was very
much depressed by the result of the search,
for he had fully convinced himself that he
had found solution to the question of one
free bridge at least. He says he will now
devote his research to some other bridge
history.
The history of the Tenth street bridge, as
cleaned by the gentlemen, was as follows:
The original act passed in 1887 authorized
the company to build turnpike road, to
build bridge whenever they purchased the
ground necessary for abutments.
From 1887 to 1858 nothing was
done, but on February % Of that
year in order to prevent the loss of their
franchise by reason of inactivity, they got
a supplementary act passed reviving the
company. Two months afterward another
supplement was passed repeating the Sec
tion relating to the building of turnpike
and changing the name of the company to
the Pittsburg and Birmingham Bridge Con-
pany.

BENEFICEET LEGISLATION SHOWN

When the Committee on Free Bridges as
sembled yesterday afternoon Mr.. Nisbet, of
the sub Committee on Statistics and Inform
alton, intimated that he had big surprise
in store for the committee when it would be
called to order. Mr.. Nisbet kept his word,
but unfortunately he got the greatest sur
prise himself before the session was over.
The meeting was held in the City Attor-
ney's Office, Mr.. S. A. Duncan presiding.
Mr.. .Nisbet at once submitted copy of the
State laws of Pennsylvania for 1S36-37, con-
tanning the act under which the present
Pittsburg and Birmingham Bridge Com
pany (the South Tenth street bridge) was
organized. The act was approved April 8,
1887, and authorized the Birmingham
Bridge and Road Company" to
build a turnpike from the north
end of Denman (now South Twelfth
street, to intersect the Monongahela and
Coal Hill road. 1t further authorized the
company to build bridge over the Monon-
gahela river, but did not specify point at
which the bridge should he built. In con-
nection with the bridge, laws were made by
the act for its construction and maintenance,
and Section 10 provided that as soon after the
expiration of 40 years from date as the cost
of construction had been realized from tolls,
and the stockholders had been reimbursed
from the earnings of the company, and the
stock oil the company paid II per cent on the
Investment in any one year, then the bridge
should be made free and no tolls should he
collected, except such slight amounts as
might be necessary to keep the bridge in
repair
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-01-04
IT PAYS BIG INTEREST.

Mr. Nisbet stated that he had information
from good authority that the bridge in ques-
tion had been paying over IL per cent on its
stock. and he saw no reason why the city
should not proceed at once to declare the
bridge free.
The clerk was instructed to read the act,
which covered many pages, for the benefit
of the committee, but he had not proceeded
far until Mr.. Monro thought he saw where
the act did not apply to the present Tenth
street bridge at all, as the act related to
Denman street (now Twelfth), and it was
unlikely that the company would build a
bridge on Tenth street and their turnpike
on Twelfth.
The City Attorneys library OF State laws
was then referred to for light on the subject
and while Mr.. Monro and Mr.. Nisbet were
busily engaged in looking the matter up,
the committee adjourned until they were
were ready to report, first appointing Mr..
Monro member of the subcommittee on
information to secure his services in the
matter.

In this part of the world we get nothing
of any consequence from an apple-tree till
it is ten or fifteen years old. 1t is three or
four before we get it from the nursery, sell
dom less than five years more before it be-
gins to bear and some five years more have
to be added before we can get anything
like full crop. If we had but about if
teen more it would hardly bc worth the
while to grow fruit trees Thirty years of
such husbandry would require that we
calculated about three years to a full crop
from tho ground, which would be worse
than giving whole year to nothing.
as was once the rule in summer fall
lowing. We rather suspect that where
trees cease to be profitable after thirty
years of age. 1t is from some neglect which
has affected the constitution of the tree.
1t may be that borers have been allowed
to board and lodge in the trunk free of
charge Cor the accommodation; or the soil
has been allowed to become too poor; or
they have been allowed to bear all they
were disposed to do without thinning or
assistance of any kind. In any of which
cases thirty years would undoubtedly do
for them.
If all these things are properly seen to,
and oil the other little matters attended to
that those who cultivate fruit for profit
ought to know about. there is no reason
why an apple tree may not be protita BILE for
fifty years any where.
