HOWARD AYENUE CHURCH BELL
Will be Rung on Easter Day-Interesting
Program.

The Howard avenue Methodist Epis-
copal church Is to have a new bell, the
result of the efforts of society COM
posed of the little girls of the congrega-
tion. These young people range in age
from five to fourteen years, and under
the direction of Mrs. Rhodella Sperry
of 154 Hallock avenue, the president,
have in a little more than two years
earned the amount of the cost Of the
bell and something like $50 in excess,
which has been devoted to other de-
partments of church work.
The new bell, which has arrived and
is at the dock of the Starin Transporta-
ton company, will be swung between
this and Easter Sunday, when the dedi-
catory exercises will be held. The bell
weighs about $50 pounds, was cast by
the McShane company of Baltimore,
and when placed in the belfry will cost
about 5000
The exercises on Easter Sunday will
consist of an address by Rev. Mr. Ford,
former pastor of the church. This will
be followed by music, after which the
bell will be formally presented to the
church by the Rev. Mr.. Kastendeick,
who will also give sketch of how the
purchase of the bell was accomplished.
The acceptance will be by Mr.. Hultz, a
trustee of the church. These will be
interspersed with recitations and songs
by members of the society. At the
close of the exercises the bell will be
rung by Serena Sperry, the five-year-
old grandson of the founder and presi-
dent of the society.
This little band Of workers which has
accomplished this purchase was organ
lied on January 10, 1895, and had at it's
first meeting sixty-five cents in the
treasury. The members have made
patchwork, bed quilts, embroidered
work, etc, etc. At times the children
have borrowed from the treasury sums
of money for the purpose of investing,
and rarely has the result been disas-
trous They would often make two or
three dollars from the investment of
ten cents. One member realized four
dollars from the sale of the bluelng
made by investing ten cents.

IOWd,S PRELIMfNARP TRfP.
Develops 1915 Knots an Hour-Trial to
be Made To-morrow.

Boston, April 5-The battleship Iowa
was given a preliminary run to-day
over the Cape Ann course, where she
will have her final trial spin on We'd
nesday. The trial. as far as it went
was thoroughly successful, and Edwin
S. Cramp, who is here to represent the
builders, learned enough about the ca
pabilities of the vessel to feel pretty
sure that she will succeed in winning
at least a good portion of the handsome
bonus offered for every quarter knot
made on the test trip over the contract
rate Of speed of sixteen knots.
The Iowa was sent over the first half
of the course after she had done some
"jockeylng" to warm up her engines.
She accomplished the thirty-three miles
in the remarkably good time of one
seconds, or at the rate of 17.16 knots an
hour. The conditions under which this
was accomplished were not the most
favorable, for while the sea was as
smooth as could be wished, the wind
was directly aft-about the worst direc-
tion it could blow from to insure good
draught.
Every one felt that the run back
| would be done in even better time, as
the wind would be much more favora-
BILE. Unfortunately, however, after the
first leg Of the return journey had been
covered at a rafting pace, the vessel
ran into a dense fog-bank and speed
had to be reduced and any further trial
abandoned.
So thick was the fog that the great
whistle had to be sounded at intervals
of a few minutes, and slowly and care
fully the great ship came UP the har-
bor The only members of the naval
board who accompanied the vessel yes
terday were Naval Constructor ]. H.
Linnard, Lieutenant Horace M. Witzell,
Lieutenant Lucian Flynn and Past AS
sistant Engineer J. M Pickrell.
The vessel was in charge of the
Cramps shipping master, Captain r.
w. Sargent, who never left the bridge
| during the run. He was assisted by
the Boston pilots, L. Chambers and T.
| Cooper.
| The officers working the vessel were
| Engineers Nj. p. Towne, John Paterson
and N D. Johnson, J. w. Atlee, assist
ant naval architect, and J. H. Mullin,
in charge Of the hull engineering.
| Edwin S. Cramp and his brother,
| Francis L., We're on board with small
party of guests, including Admiral
Jorge Montt and Captain Luis Gomez
of the Chilian navy, Lieutenant Com
mander Selfridge of the Puritan, Gen
eral Grosvenor of the Ohio, Hon. II. w

adelphia. DR.. J. w. White of Pennsyl-
vania university and DR.. Brooks Of
Harvard came over on the vessel from
| New York, but went ashore when she
| reached Boston.

PANAMA RAILROAD COMPANY.
Annual Meeting in New York-C. M. Com
stock n New Director.


stock New Director.
New York, April Sat the annual
meeting of the Panama Railroad COM
pany to-day the old directors were re-
elected and a new director was added
to the board in the person of C. M.
Comstock. A resolution was adopted
authorizing the issue of $4,000,0o0 Az
per cent. bonds to run twenty years.
The company's sterling loans Of $5,000,-
900 made In 1857 fall due October next,
and $2000,000 of the new issue has been
sold, the proceeds to be used in retiring
the old bonds. OF the original issue
about 81 400, 900 has been retired by a
voluntary sinking fund, the new issue
will retire $2O0O,000, and the company
will have enough cash by October to
take care of the balance.
The earnings last year were equal to
Z per cent. and will be used in retiring
old bonds. There is no floating debt,
and in October the entire funded debt
will consist of the s2,000,000 of new
bonds just sold. President Simmons in
his report said that the result of fifteen
December 16, 1895, with the Pacific Mail
Steamship company entirely supports
the estimate made of It's value to the
company.
A large pier and other improvements
will be constructed in the bay of Pam
anna for the transfer Of sea-going YES
sells. The cost will be about 81 100000,
but the consequent saving will much
exceed the cost. After retiring the $5,-
0O0,O loan in October, with the cash
on hand and the S2,O00,000 new bonds
Just sold, there will remain in the treas
ury a surplus of 100000.
