WESTBROOK.
Rev. VIM. G. Mann Installed at the
Warren Congregational Church.

Portland Pastors Were Present and Took
Part in the Ceremonies-Other Happen
ings of Interest.
Rev. VIM 6. Mann was installed pas
tor of the Warren Congregational church
at Westbrook, Friday. In the afternoon
session of ecclesiastical council OF
Congregational churches of Cumberland
County was held at the church to pass
on the action of the Warren church in
accepting the resignation of their former
pastor, Rev. David Martyr, and to ex-
anime Rev. VIC. Mann, to whom they
had extended a call. In regard to the
first, they ratified the action OF the
church and refused to commend the form
er pastor to the churches
Rev. Mr.. Mann was then given an ex-
animation, and his credentials being
found Satisfactory, the council recommend
ed his installation
At the church in the evening the pas
tor was installed with formal services.
Although the weather was SO unfavor-
able the new shepherd was greeted by a
large number of the flock over which
he is to watch. The services opened
with very excellent selection by the
choir, "The Lord is King. Invocation
was pronounced by Rev. &C Wilson OF
Portland
The minutes of the afternoon council
was read by the scribe, Rev. S. N. Adams.
Passages of the Scriptures were then
read by Rev. G. G. Wilson. Rev. W. H.
Fem was selected to deliver the eve
ming sermon. He selected as his text
these words "What are these among Sc
many" He prefaced his remarks by
citing the trials and difficulties of the
Disciples, ..but brought to mind that these
difficulties were placed in their way by
the Savior to strengthen their faith
and trust in Him. He brought to the
minds of his audience the importance
in their realizing that all difficulties
were overcome when they placed implicit
confidence in Him and unquestionably
did His bidding. He spoke of the full
ness of Christ, and exhorted his audience
not to be..overcome by small difficulties,
but profiting by the mistakes of the De
sciples, not to be of doubling mind, but
having entire faith go forth prepared
to overcome every obstacle.
The charge to the pastor was very i'm
pressiyely given by Rev. d. M. Pratt OF
Wiliston church, Portland. He defined
in a very happy manner the duties de-
volving upon the new pastor and exhort-
ed him to ever have before him the OBJ
ject of his work-the salvation of souls.
In the charge to the people, Rev. E. P.
Wilson exhorted them to know their pas
tor, to love him and live at peace among
themselves.
Rev. S.N. Adams Of the First Congre-
gational church of this city, in some felic-
itious remarks, extended the right hand
of fellowship to Rev. Mr.. Mann. The
service closed with benediction by the
pastor.

II was found, however, that this would
be most expensive work inasmuoh as
the bed Of the creek Is Of solid rock whore
u winds about Marble hill at Kingsbridge,
and the route IS too long and tortuous.
The most direct route and simplest method
were followed.
The engineers profited by the soft mud

hill and then made a straight cut through

threequartors OF a mile to whore the
canal turns and goes through the great
cut IN Marble hill, and thence through Co
the Harlem river and five miles down tho
river to the sound
The first smkoful Of earth taken from
the canal was lifted from the western side
Of Marble hill on Jan. 81. 1855 AT that
tlme tho hill, now covered with preten-
tlous houses and cottages, was dotted with

The cutting through this hill was the
hardest nut the engineers had to crack.
Evening journal., 1895-06-17

Today the work Is complete. A broad
waterway LOCO feet in length joins the
Spuyton Duyvil and tho Harlem river

Tho cut is $50 feet wide at its narrowest
point which Is Ia the middle, and 400

the Hudson and the Harlem is ton feet.

accomplished ono must stand on the new
drawbridge whore the Kingsbridge road
crosses tho canal and look up at the Pre-
cipitate rise Of solid white limestone rooh

From this point is seen the seven acres OF
land on the western side Of tho hill which
is piled high with the stone from the OK.
cayation.
In addition to making tho big cut the
Spuyten Duyvil creek had to be dredaed
for three quarters Of a mile until an aver.
age width of lao feet and an average depth
of ton feet had been obtained. In two
places, in order to avoid too sharp turns
and to shorten the course an entirely new
waterway was cut out OF the marshy
ground.
Duflng bne construction or tho cana
tho excavations in Marble hill were flood
ed four times, the dams which held oui
the water giving way. In tho first three
instances tho water had TO be pumped
out. The last time was in April, 1893
when the dam at the eastern end broke,
and the place was prematurely filed with
water. AT this time however. the work
was almost finished. The little rock that
remained TO be removed was blasted and
dredged OUT
As tho result Of the construction OF the
ship canal It is expected that tho Harlem
river will eventually be lined with docks
and the pressure on the water front at the
lower end Of. the city will be relieved, and
that the great river commerce in building
materials will pass through it The long
voyage around the Hook, as river boatmen
term 1t, will BIO done away with, and yes
sells will pass through The canal between
tho Hudson and the sound.
The Harlem river. hitherto navigable
only for soows and tugs, will prove a val
liable waterway. II is in anticipation OF
this movement it is said, that the Aston
estate has recently spent 81, O00 600 in
building bulkheads where its land borders
on the river.
