THE OFFICERS INSTALLED.
Annual Meeting of the metropolitan
Chapter, Epworth League.

Chapter, EpwOrth League.
The regular annual meeting of the Met
ropolitan Chapter of the Epworth League
was held at the Metropolitan NJ. E. Church
last night at o'clock for the purpose of
installing the ctficers elected at the last
meeting. The church was filled when the
members were called to order by the retir-
ing president, S. c. Ford. Mr.. Ford in a
short speech reviewed the work of the
society during the two years he had been
its president, and called attention TO the
work CT the various committees during the
past year, the reports Of which were read.
The mercy and help committee, of which
Miss Bertha Gray was chairman, probably
offered the most interesting report for the
consideration CT the society. This COM
mittee has charge of the work in the jail,
workhouse, and hospitals, all of which in
stitutions were visited once week during
the year. The report showed that many
new members were gained for the society
in this manner and that others of the in
mates had been persuaded 10 lead better
lives. The ceremonies attendant upon the
installation of the officers were then gone
through with by the general officers of the
! District chapters. The new officers are:
President, e. S. LaFetra; First Vice Presi-
dent, w. e. Wright; Second Vice Presi-
dent, Miss Bertha Gray; Third Vice Presi-
dent, Mrs. F. NJ. Bristol; Fourth Vice
President, Charles Forrest; Secretary,
Miss Fannie Rosemann, and Treasurer,
/ George Colison. The installation exercises
were conducted by District Secretary
Harry Belt.
Following the installation came the ad-
! dress to the new officers by the Rev.
/ Frank Bristol, d. D., the pastor of Metro
! politan M. e. Church. DR.. Bristol gave a
/ comprehensive review of the work of the
society. and paid a high compliment to the
/ retiring president. He then turned to the
/ new officers and spoke to them of the op-
| pertunities that would come to them and
! the manner of treating strangers in tbs
/ church. Admiral Dewey waited thirty
! five years for his opportunity the minis
1 ter said, land when it came he was or
/ hand to seize it. 1t is not the lack oi
/ opportunity that hurts the man, but the
fact that he does not grasp it when Il
comes his way" He then spoke Of the
manner in which strangers in the church
/ should be received and gave it as his opin-
/ ion that the sympathy expressed in a warn
! handshake did more to make the strangers
! feel at home than all the fine speeche:
that could be addressed to them. At the
! conclusion, OF Dr. Bristol's address an ex-
/ ceIlent musical programme was given anC
! refreshments were served.

PIncinr the Order.

''In November and December, every effort
was made to place the order for the super
structure in England but it was found
impossible for British firms to supply so
big an undertaking in the time allowed.
This matter is one of considerable regret
to ma personally. / think it demonstrates
that the relations between labor and capt.
tai in our country are not such as to give
sufficient confidence 10 capitalists TO in
duce them TO run the risk of establishing
great up-to-date workshops with the plant
necessary to enable Great Britain TO main
tain her proud position as the first con-
structing nation Of the world. Well, gen.
tlemen. where Englishmen have failed
am delighted to find our cousins across thu
Atlantic have stepped in. The opening
OF this bridge today is due TO their energy
and ability and the power they possess in
50 marked a degree of turning out works
OF this magnitude in less time than can be
done BY anyone else. l congratulate the
American foremen and workmen on the ex-
/ ceIlent success which has crowned their
efforts in the erection of this bridge in
the heart Of Africa, far from their homes,
/ during the hottest months of the year,
and depending solely upon the labor of
men speaking foreign tongue. They have
/ shown by their work the real grit they are
made Of / should also like to mention
the excellent work OF Messrs. Thomas &
Co, by whom the piers have been built.
and while offering both firms our best
thanks, / think, gentlemen, you must fully
realize how impossible it would have been
for me TO carry out this railway construc-
/ tion in anything like the time or at any
thing like the ccst, had it not been for
the indefatigable zeal of the young officers
of my own corps who have been respon-
/ sible for this great work, as well as for
the untiring efforts of the Egyptian Off
GERS on-commissioned officers, and men
who have been employed on it."

Damage by storms.

Another great difficulty has been the
constant washouts, which, l am sorry to
see. have done so much damage In 1896
we had seventeen miles completely wash
ed away in one day. and no sooner was the
damage repaired than a further washout
carried away another ten miles of line
This year regret TO learn that, though our
line TO the Atbara is now so we'll bridged
as TO prevent any serious breakdown, ON
the unbridged 30 miles to the south so
much damage has been done by storms that
our work has been delayed from one and
half to two months. In a country where
such violent tempests are prevalent at this
time Of the year. it is impossible to avoid
these ccntretemps, which l am glad to see
are being faced and overcome with the
splendid spirit always shown by our officers
and men.
"As regards this magnificent bridge,
gentlemen, ! think we may fairly claim
that It is a record achievement. Il was
only well into last october that the credits
were authorized for the extension of the
lire To Khartoum. The sites OF the bridge
had then to be determined, the 0orings,
! soundings, and sections Of the river had TO
be completed, and eight solid double piers

I down to the rock below the river bed TO

/ this did not catch US mapping. Owing to
f the energy displayed, the piers were COM
/ pleted more than twenty y-iye days earlier
than was thought possible. When the flood

CHARGED WITH BURGLARY.
Serious Charge Against Three Ogden
Men


Fred A. Davis. W. E. Williams and
T. Samuelson are in Jail charged with
breaking open the store of Wheelwright
Bros. on Jan. and taking about s75
worth of merchandise.
With regard to Davis and Williams,
the proof is believed to be clear, and
most of the stolen property was found
in their possession. AS to the other
man, the proof is not so good but he
has been associated intimately with
the other two, and there is other
strong circumstantia1 evidence against
him. Samuelson was the last man ar
rested, the arrest being made yester-
day, and his premises searched. Sam
uelson was in trouble once before in
connection with the hold up of the Sen
ate saloon, and got out of it by turning
states evidence. Davis and Williams
have been in town since Sept. l, and the
police have had them under surveil-
lance. About Oct. Is they went to
Spokane, but came back broke and
went to work for Jeff Slade the hack
man. On the night that the robbery
occurred Samuelson and Williams were
seen together and Davis, who was
driving hack nights, went off with the
vehicle for an hour and half, without
satisfactorily accounting for his alb
Sence. by PERMISSION or Mr.. SHADE the
officers searched the barn and a room
occupied by the men. In the barn they
found most of the razors and revOlvers
wrapped in an old burlap, but in the
room was found two revolvers hidden
away, together with a supply of cart
ridges. A wicked slungshot was taken
from Davis at his arrest.
Davis and Williams will be arraigned
in police court this morning. The job
is considered a very clever piece of
work.
