TUESDAY, Dec. 20.
The property corner of Aiken avenue
and Howe street, Shadyside, has been pur-
chased by the First Methodist Protestant
Church, as site for their new building.
The ground was sold to the congregation by
Morris & Aisbitt for Messrs. Cooper and
Hamilton for $50, 500. The property is 200
feet square, and there are two frame dwell
ings erected thereon. These buildings will
be razed, and as soon as possible work will
be commenced on the church, which will be
fine structure, the estimated cost being
$4,000 Tire entrance to the church will
lace w Westminster Place.
The congregation instructed the trustees
TO negotiate q mortgage of Sl50,OOO on the
property on Fifth avenue, recently leased to
the Messrs. Kaufman, the money TO be ap-
plled to the purchase of the property and
the erection of two churches, one OF the
churches to be erected in Allegheny, the
congregation having been divided into two
factions: As has been mentioned in this
column before. the Allegheny site has been
selected on Bidwell street, the considera-
ton being S3j, 900.
On account of the very disagreeable
weather, the meeting of the citizens of Al
legheny interested in the new park, which
was held in the Allegheny Mayors office
last night, was rather slimly attended. Not
withstanding this fact the sum of s., 500 was
added to the subscription list towards the
purchase of the Watson property. The fol-
lowing persons contributed: Miss Margaretta
Park, $1,000; Miss Eleanor Park, $1,000; the
Bissell estate $1,000; Strassburger & Joseph,
sou; Stevenson & Cartright, $3.50. The meet
ing vas as successful could be expected
under the circumstances and adjourned to
meet again at the call of the Chairman.
This enterprise will undoubtedly be a sue
cess, as little doubt as to the raising of the
balance of the money is entertained by the
parties interested in the movement An
official of the Pleasant Valley Railway Com
pany has, on behalf OF that corporation,
notified the committee that the company
Will contribute $4,000. But few such contri-
buttons as this are necessary to make up
the amount needed, and they will undoubt-
edly be obtained.
