Watkins and asked him for advice He
told them that the proceeding begun by
Mr.. Phillips, in his opinion, was eminent
ly proper and legal; for he was only
cndcavoring to procure what in Justice
and right he was entitled to under a
verbal agreement made on Nov. l. 1890.
Mrs. Jones and her sons fully agreed that
Mr.. Phillips should have Il deed for lot

but did not desire to he put to any ex-

by Lawyer Watkins that it would not

SIMPSON CHURCH REVIVAL

The simpson Methodist Episcopal
church has been blessed with glor-
ious revival. Nearly 200 have been to
it's altar and professed conversion.
1t was the thought of the church to
conduct two weeks nf service Inder
the evangelistic leadership OF Rev. p.
j. Kahn. II. D.. Of Philadelphia, but
the interest was SO great that 1t was
determined to continue the meetings,
and the result has justified the deter
minntion.
Led by the pastor the good work has
progressed glorioLsly. Last Sunday
morning II was an affecting sight to
see the church crowded with young
and old. seeking admission to the
church on probation. In the service
tomorrow morning others will be re-
ceived and the services Of the day will
be in line with the revival work Of the
past four weeks.

thus closing up the crossing. without
interfering with the present plans. II
was further proposed to erect steps on
either side of the crossing to permit
pedestrians to cross the tracks with
out having to walk on the viaduct at
all.
The plan would literally mean the
construction of a bridge over the rail-
road tracks. in addition to the pro-
posed viaduct. and leave the avenue
open to pedestrians. An impression
prevails among many that the proposed
viaduct will mean the narrowing of the
street. but in reality it will widcu

The structure which tie plans call
for will have room enough for walks
on either side. and a roadway on both
sides of a double track for street cars.
An idea of the plan can be CLEANED
from n study of the bridge crossing the
river at the Jersey Central depot. 1t
will also mean the tearing down Of the
old stove works property. a portion OF
the Watts building. the Kellar and
Porter properties, leaving the present
