THE PARK CITY.
IN DIRE DISTRESS.

Canvassers are at work in this city
visiting houses and places of business, in
order to find out how many of the citi-
zens are in favor of electric cars. 1t
would not seem possible that the can
vassers could find one person in the city
who would not favor any kind of system,
in place of the present one. The public
have lived on in hopes for years. They
are now getting ready to die in dispair.
Still with new and live men at the helm
there is now chance of Improvement. 1t
cannot come to quickly. A good joke is
told at the expense of the present bob
tails. A gentleman visiting New York
was asked if he knew the city of Bridge
port. He replied, sob, yes, that is
where they have those horse cars. Wait
a moment, believe have one in my va

streets on Saturday morning, which
shows that it lasted nearly, if not quite,
all night.

has for some time been engaged in bus
mess. Dea Warner united with the South
church in May 1877, and since that time

many capacities. He was a faithful
teacher and efficient assistant supern-
tendent in the Sabbath school. He was
the originator of the Christian Endeavor
society of our church, and to his untiring
efforts as president for three years the
society owes much of its present prosper
ity. He was one of the leaders in the
formation of the Bridgeport Christian
Endeavor union and served as its pres
ident for two years. When the church
voted to augment its board of deacons,
by the election of two additional mem
bers, to serve for term of years. he was
chosen by practically unanimous vote
to serve in that capacity, He was deacon
for five years, retiring then under the rule
which renders the incumbent ineligible
