A crowd composed of about two huns
dred men, women and children, assembled
on the shore of New York Bay, at the
foot of Chapel avenue. Greenwich yester-
day afternoon. to witness the baptism of
p number of converts TO the faith OF the
members Of the Mount Zion Church, or
Faith Curists.
Yesterday was the occasion of the hf-
teenth anniversary of the Mount Zion
Church. As early as eleven O'Clock MEM
bers began to arrive at the Sanctuary,
located on a beautiful site overlooking
the bay.
The services in the morning were con-
Quoted by Brother Hancock and Sister
Jackson. The member assembled in the
little chapel. where devotional exercises
were held for several hours. Baptfsms
were to have been conducted by Brother
Hancock early in the afternoon. but the
tide was too low al that time. The con-
verts were forced to wait until about
haIf-past five, when the water had each
ed a sufficient height.
The candidates for immersion were clad
in loose fitting garments Of black cloth.
There were -four women and two men.
Brother Hancock led the first one into
the rough water, while the members sang
hymns at the top eff their voices. Sister

the members when converts were lowered
into the briny deep. The crowd marched
back to the chapel when the services were
concluded
An amusing incident was the presence
Of a camera "fend,'' who wished to snap
a few pictures of Brother Hancock IN
the act of lowering a convert into the
water. The dimensions were postponed
until after the fellow with the camera
was induced to depart.
In the fall the annual camp meeting

PACIFIC AVENUE BRIDGE
Contractor Is Anxious to Finish
1t So He Will Have an
Additional Force.

Work on the new bridge at Pacific
avenue is being hurried along in earnest.
The arrival of the new engine has per-
mitted the renewal Of work. Contractor
Trieste is anxious to complete the con-
struction of this much delayed structure
and therefore an additional force Of men
will be put to work.
Three layers of red stone have been put
in place for the ten foot abutment wall
on the south sid of the canal. This wall
win be completed before the one on the
opposite shore is begun. The concrete
foundation for the second wall has been
built, however, and there will be 40 delay
from that quarter.
None of the iron work, which was
promised two months ago, has material
lied as yet. If this is not shipped within
ten days the work will be again delayed.
1t is thought that six weeks will see the
t~horoughfare open to traffic. Pacific

NO FOADS FOR REPAIRS
Counsellor Griffin Advises
the FreehoIders in the
River Road Matter.

Counsellor John Griffin officially notified
the F~reehoiders yesterday afternoon that
they had no funds at the present time
which they can legally apply tol making
the much needed repairs to the river road
IN Kearny, The road is in such a de-
plorable condition that some of the manu-
featuring firms have threatened to remove
their plants elsewhere unless something
Is done to make 1t a passable thorough
fare. The following is Mr.. GriHn,s con-
cluslon after looking up the law
July 81, 1899.
To the Honorable the Director ana Mem
bers of the Board Of Chosen Freeholders
of the County OF Hudson
Gentlemen-I have examined into the
ability of your Board, at the present time,
to repair the River Road in the Town
of Kearny.
You have no funds In hand now which
can be used for the purpose, and unless
you can raise money by issuing bonds,
you are without the power to make the
repairs.
I have examined the avs which
M. Forrest, the attorney of the
Town Of Kearny, submitted to me, as
we'll as other laws, and nave come to the
conclusion that 1t is doubtful If your
Board has power to issue bonds for the
purpose. But setting aside this question,
under the method Of procedure laid down
by the law of 1889 Claws OF 1889. page So.
using ordinary expedition, the road could
not be commenced before the winter set
in, thus throwing the construction of the
road over unit mex spring.
My Judgment is that the more COM
modious plan would be to let the matter
rest until the Legislature meets, and then,
if you still desire to improve this road,
frame a proper and suitable bill for the
purpose, and ask the Legislature to
pass it.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN GRIFFIN.
The matter was referred to the Legisla-
tive Committee, with instructions to try
and LAY IN enabling act passed next
winter.

Dupes Druggists.

The police of this city and of Brooklyn
are looking for a slick individual who
represents himself as an agent of the
League of American Wheelmen, but who
is really a swindler. He was first heard
of in this city a few days g when he

to enlist their aid in the service of wheel
men
His plan was to establish an L. A. ".
stand in the drug store where wheelmen
would be enabled to get certain reduc-
tions on all purchases. The druggist was
to pay " dollars for the stand privf-
lege. and a sign bearing the words Il.

The swindler, for such he was found to
be. succeeded in dipping more than one
druggist. This same Individual IS wanted
in Brooklyn, where he carried on MS
swindling game most extensively.
