THE LOWEST BIDDER.
Mr.. J. W. Clary, the contractor OF this
city, has been awarded the work
of improving the Bainbridge-St Bap-
fist Church. His bid. being one OF six
and the lowest, was $500. All bids Of
civ hot Mr. C11rv'S figure
and $4,000. Judging from the cost, the
improvements will tie extensive. The
church, which is probably one of the
Oldest In the city, will have an entire
new front. and the interior will be SO
changed that one seeing it now viii hard-
ly recognize it when completed. Capt
M. j. Dimmock, of Richmond, is the ar
chtect of the work.
CARS OF NEW LINE.
Work on the tracks of the Passenger
and Power Company, on Seventh Street,
is progressing very rapidly now, one side
being laid with heavy T rails and the
! other under way. The old rails were
rot desirable for the large cars of the
Petersburg road, which will in short
time come down this track, to Seventh
and Perry. The house on this corner has
| been leased by the new company and
| will be used, as a place for passengers,
and possibly an office for the officials.
The cars Of this line will come to Rich
mond within a year, and 1t Is thought
| that the company, prefers to enter at
Fourteenth and Main Streets.
