After singing by the con gregation "We Shall Meet Beyond the River," MT. Mitchell preached powerful and forcible sermon, abounding in deep thought and eloquence which held the un- divided attention of all present. Of MT. Mitchells singing it is hardly necessary to speak in words of praise, Among the large majority of those who have had the pleasure of listening. to him it has no equal in this country. In fexibility and compass of voice and sweet ness and expression he certainly leads all others, but it was something of surprise to those who knew of his vocal abilities but had never heard him preach to listen to his remarkably eloquent and impressive discourse last evening. It is rare thing to find in gifted singer an equal gift of oratory. MT. Mitchell possesses the combi- nation in most remarkable degree is all present last night were made aware. This evening Rev.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

They Have a Little Breeze Just at
 the End of the MeetIng-Routine
 Business Transacted.
 There were only four members of the board of public works present at last nights meeting, Messrs. Brown and Leigh being absent. MT. States presided
 The matter of filling and grading of Bassett street was referred to Superintend- ent Doyle with power to act. MT. Alex ander Bruce appeared and stated that he had just enough dirt to fill certain hole in the street and would like to sell it to the city.
 An order for concrete walks on the west side of Prospect between Grove and Locke streets was tabled.
 The matter of hardening Chapel street, between Sherman avenue and Norton street, was tabled.
 The matter of strengthening Crescent street was referred to the city engineer and a hearing will be had next Wednesday night.
 After this business had been transacted MT. Atwater asked why the catch basin near the corner of Elm and State streets had been moved up State street, leaving the expense of pipe and head for the city to pay.
 MT. Hill explained that the basin as first agreed upon if built would make dan gerous rut in the street, and as it was case which needed immediate decision, he at once decided to move the basin up the street and thus get over the difficulty This involved the expense on the city of addi-s honal pipe and basin head.
 The railroad company had promised to pay the expense of the basin before agreed upon. The city would now have to pay the expense of the pipe and head. MT. Atwater then said that there should be no bills contracted without the order of the board.
 MT. Atwater went out of the room for second, and when he returned Mir. Hill said: "Mr. Atwater, if it had been any one else besides myself or Mir. Dillon noth- ing would have been said"
 MT. Sullivan said that MT. Hill had no right to say such things to commis- sioner. i
 MT. Hill said he had a right to express his own opinion.
 MT. Atwater said that he was a director of the horse railroad and that he had been accused of many things, among which was the fact that he had let this basin be moved that he might supply the pipe.
 Mr. Hill didn't know that.
 MT. Atwater-T told you about it.
 With word from MT. Todd the conver- sation ended and the board adjourned on motion of MT. Sullivan.
