TO DO THE WORK OVER AGAIN
Removing tho Lick Run Fill to Extend til
Brick Arch

Removing the Lick Run Fill to Extend the
Brick Arch.
A force of laborers were put to work
yesterday morning removing the earth
fill over the Lick run sewer just above
Shenandoah avenue. This sewer is
covered with double layer of oak
boards from Shenandoah to Fifth ave-
nue.. At tho point which tho former
street crossed the run brick arch was
built 1t was decided, in order to get u
favorable grade to the Randolph street
bridge from Second street. that large
I'LL should be mado over the run. Ac-
cordingly about three hundred cubic
yards CT earth was heaped on the wooden
covering. Finally il dawned on the
authorities. after TIE TIMES had mon
toned the fact, that the boards might
rot in the course of time, and the whole
thing cave in, filling up the stream and
causing an inundation. So it was finally
decided, after the city engineer and the
sewer committee had g item together,
to extend the brick arch further up the
stream. The WORK will begin as soon
as the earth can be removed.

Hoate were represented. 1t is much

church representation was out, there
were over 300 delegates present. It
was the mos enthusiastic meeting that
we have overhead full of fervor from tho

Rod and supplemented it with an add ress
on the life and Christian character of
the late Ii. lS Ellyson. It was said to
be the greatest address ever delivered
before that body. In treating tho sub,
lect tho professor was at home. All his
lie he had made study of the work of
the Baptists in tho State, and could
speak with the greatest luency on the
character of those times of fifty years
ago He had likewise kept abreast, if
notahead of tho times, and was fully
alive to the progress and advancement
OF the church OF to-day.
Norfolk entertained the associc ssion
with great hospitality. More homes had
ocen provided than was needed, and tho
people did all in their power to make
our stay pleasant one. Danville will
get tho association next year Several
other applications were made at the
same time.
"One of tho great features of the re-
ports read was the liberal subscri ptions
made through the dull times. The Bap.
hist ladies of Virginia have raised S. 900

pense of only $50.
''There were twenty-five applications
for pastors in destitute regions of the

OF the game. The quarterback PLAYING
of Mr.. Foard and Mr.. Dennison was
excellent. Messrs Willoughby; Moss,
holland and Pascault did some clever
rushing and the tackling of Mr.. Beck
was excellent Messrs. Carmalt and
Grindrod did good playing for their
respective sides. Though the game
