COST OF The APPROACHES
City Eaaiseer Phillips Figures That
It Will Be $4,000.
TRYING TO PARE DOWN AMOUNT
Twenty Ono thousand DOllsrs Is All the
Available Cash There Is on Hand
for the Approaches TO the
Linden street bridge.

The approximate estimate Of the cost
of constructing the approaches to the
Linden street bridge Is. according to
City Engineer Phillips. about $4,000.
while the amount available for the
work Is less than $2l, 900.
The engineers corps are going over
the plans again In the hope of pairing
down the approximate estimate and
Councilman Nealis. who is taking the
most active interest In the completion
OF the approaches. Is figuring hard to
raise the available money to an amount
that will tally with the estimate. Even
though there is slight discrepancy 1t
will not prevent the work from being
carried on. as the bidders figures will
undoubtedly be much lower than the
engineers estimate, as the latter Is al
ways placed at figure higher than
the cost IL expected to be.
1t Is intended to pave the new thor
Oughfore all the way from Mifiiln ave-
nue to the Swetland street bridge.
Asphalt will be used on the bridge and
stone block on the approaches. The
paving Of the approaches Is, however,
only a possibility. as the property hold
ers along the route have not all signiRed
their Willingness to share the expense.
The RobinsOns readily agreed to pay
their share and the Jersey Central will
undoubtedly contribute, as the road
will be used by them to a great extent.
Contrary to the general impression 1t
Is said that street cars will not be al
lowed to pass over the Linden street

Excursion to Ocean Grove for the Camp
Meeting,

VeotIu&.
Asbury Park and Ocean Grove. recog-
nized as the most famous OF all the great
New Jersey seashore resorts. have mani
fold attractions for all persons that ap-
prec.ate sojourn by the ocean. The
world at large contributes people that are
patrons OF these resorts and among them
are many that are dist.ns suished in the
various walks Of life. The hotel, cottages,
views Of ocean, the breakers, bathing and
style that pervades Asbury Park each re-
curing summer is something startling
and must be seen by personal observation
In order to be appreciated fully. August
Is the month here. The hotels and cot
tages are filed. the fine driveways are gay
with fashionable equipages and the mu-
SIC Of manifold bands and orchestras
throws Its resonant echo over the entire
scene. At night the flicker Of electric
lights seems to be almost in competition
with the stars, for II must be remembered
that Asbury Park is a city Of advancement
and has all the modern Improvements
born OF enterprise. The private life in cot
tages Is i'm strange comparison with the
fashionable round Of hotel gayety that at
tracts wide-awake people to the grand
hotels. Asbury Park with all the hustle
that keeps visitors on the qu-vive, has
no disorder. for the stringent local laws
keep all would-be Offenders within bounds
and nothing but a good time marks the
wane OF summer days. Bathing Is one of
Asbury's greatest attractions. and the cos
tunes seen here In the breakers are as
original as they are costly and varied.

Evangelical church of Peace. or the
South Side. the church organized by
members Of the congregation OF the
Hickory Street Presbyterian church.
who severed their connection with the
latter when Rev. August Lange re-
signed the pastorate.
The troubles and contentious which
led to tine resignation of Pastor Lange
were set forth In detail In The Tribune
OF Aug. I. There were about $50 men,
bers in the congregation of the Htck-
ory street church when Rev. August
Lange was in charge. and about fifty
of these left the church at the time he
did. and told him they wanted him to
be their pastor.
One of the leading spirits of the new
congregation is John Lentes. warm
personal friend of Rev. Mr.. Lange. For
some time prior to the recent dissen-
sion he was church Organist and su-
perintendent of the Sunday school.
When Rev. Mr.. I.ange resigned Mr..
Lentes did likewise and sacrificed the
salary Of $3.50 q year paid him as or
ganlst.
Temporary Meeting Place.
Those who went with Rev. Mr. Lange
secured a temporary meeting place in
st. Pauls Evangelical church on Pros
pect avenue. The congregation of that
church used the edifice in the morning
and in the evening kindly placed II at
the disposal OF Rev. August Lange and
his followers.
The latter have determined to have a
church of their own, and as first step
towards securing one have asked the
court to charter them that they may
have the power to hold property. con-
tract debts and perform the several
acts that are necessary to establish
and maintain a church.
The petition filed with Prothonotary
Pryor yesterday by Attorneys OBrien
& Kelley asking for the Incorporation

MR,uODGsON Is CORRECT.
Editor Of The Tribune.

Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I agree with T. A. Y. Hodgson,
in his opinion in regard to Scranton
parties finding coal in Hamilton town
ship, Monroe county, and that the sup
posed coal find is nothing but the mas
sive slate formation called the MARCEL
lus. The Marcellus has continuous
outcrop through Pike. Monroe, Carbon
and Schuylkill counties, and also out
crops in many other localities through
out the state, and lies thousands of feet
beneath the true coal measures, and
Is overlaid In regular order by forma-
tions called Hamilton, Portage. Che
mung. Catskill, Pocono, Mauch Chunk.
Red Shale and Pottsville conglomerate.
which holds all the true coal formations
in the slate
Much money has been wasted in pros
peoting the Marcellus in the vain hope
of finding coal, also the Utica slate,
which lies much deeper. and which in
New York state Is tine surface rock Of
the Mohawk Valley.
My reading in The Tribune that busl-
ness men of Scranton expected to find
coal near Stroudsburg, and that an ex-
pert thought the prospects looked fav-
Orable. surprised me very much. I was
also surprised to think that compera-
lively SO few people understand the
geological formations Of this state
Much money would often be saved by
parties desiring to prospect for coal
by first consulting with a competent
man that fully understands the many
geological formations Of the state, their
compositions and relations to each
other. Truly, Westbrook Merring.
