WILL HAVE NEW CHURCH.
The Methodists Have Decided To
Build a New $4,000 Church
This summer-It Has Long
Been Needed

For years the Methodist denomina-
tion of this city has been Handicapped
by having church edihce far too
small for their needs, and they have
been laying their plans for quite a
while to build new church more
adequate to their need. The matter
has been delayed because the future
prospects of the city were such that
they felt that when they did build il
should be a good one such as would
not be again outgrown in few years,
and to do SO meant going into debt
pretty heavy, so naturally they have
hesitated.
But the great revival of this winter
has increased their membership so
largely and has awakened so much in
terest in religious matters that they
feel that now is the time to act and
have set the ball a rolling. They have
the general plan of such building
as they desire, being brick structure,
with stone trimmings, and having a
seating capacity of about 800, 800 in
the main room and 300 in the Sunday
school rooms which can be opened up
in connection wit the main audience
room when occasion may require il.
The present building is to be sold and
and removed, also the parsonage lot
will be used, the long way of the
church building being on Washington
St and new parsonage TO be built
facing Pleasant st. on the south
side of the lots. There will be
corner entrance and tower, cor.
Pleasant and Washington SITS. and the
pulpit will be in the south west cor
ner. 1t is hoped to keep the cost in
side of $4,000 but it is uncertain.
1t will be a great Improvement to
the city and has been greatly needed.
They propose TO push the work and
get it under way as soon a. possible

GRANDPARENTS GOT HER.
IL Year Old Miss Taken From step
Mother at Grattan' at In
stance of Grandparents.

Not many weeks ago Bedding had a
sensational kidnapping Of a five year
old girl by her own mother from the
child's grandparents. Now Grattan
comes to the front with a somewhat
similar case of twelve year old girl,
only the conditions are nearly re-
versed, as a stepmother had her and
the grandparents wanted the child
and had taken legal steps to secure
her. The young Miss is Gertrude
Trent of Detroit, whose father, yes
sci captain, Fred Trent. mysteriously
disappeared shortly before Christmas.
Mrs. Trent then took the girl and
left Detroit keeping her whereabouts
a secret. Representative Bland was
engaged by the grandparents and
finally traced them TO Grattan, going
there Saturday and taking her away.
The Detroit Journal Of Wednesday
evening gave picture of the little
Miss and also gave the following par
ticulars regarding her return to De
troit:
Bright and winsome, with express
sive eyes. Gertrude made a pretty
picture as she opened the door. The
background of the picture was filled
in with the two figures of the old
grandparents who have made such a
determined fight for the possession of
their sons child. They were alert in
a moment when a stranger appeared.
81 am awful glad TO get back to De-
troit," said little Gertrude when she
had ushered her visitor into the par
lor. ''Grattan was tiny place, and
there was no fun there Tdrather be
here in Detroit with my brother Tom
and grandma"
"My stepmother was all right. She
treated me well, but I'd rather be
here" she declared. when my
brother Tom left papa's boat last
summer at Port Huron, because he
had toothache, / wanted to 90 with
him, cause didn't want 10 stay with
my stepmother, but she wouldn't let
me. When we left the boat last Oc-
tober we went up to Evart, and she
sent me to school. ] guess | must
have gone to school three months.
Then we moved to Rockford, another
place, ever so small, and then TO
Grattan. When Mr.. Bland came
didn't know who he was, an of course
was awful scared, cause | didn't
know where he was going to take me-
But I'm sorry now cried. | like to
be in Detroit. There's more fun here
and more girls to play with Then
Toms here and grandma.
Gertrude will be sent to a convent
at the beginning of the term # she is
not kidnapped back again before then.

The new portion will be 202x4S feet,
four stories and an additional story
will be placed upon the part built last
year making that also four stories.
The tower will be raised s feet so as
to correspond to the new one to be
built, the new one will be near Bridge
street. where it cannot be hid and as
it will "have a place for a clock" as
Mr.. Bedding states, it is very likely it
will contain one some day.
This mill when completed will be
404X4S feet, four stories and we believe
it will be one of the largest single fac
tory buildings in the state as well as
one of the largest silk mills in the

Elkton. Nd. Aug. 13.-An interesting
trolley war IS now being waged be
tween the Elkton and Chesapeake City
Trolley Company and the Cecil and
Kent Company for the use of the pub
lie roads in Cecil county. Two years
ago the commissioners granted the
franchise to the Elkton and Chesa-
peake City Company, but it having
failed to build the road within that
time, the Cecil and Kent Company ap-
peared before the commissioners and
asked that it be given the same privi-
lege. AS a guarantee of good faith the
officials said that they would build the
road within eight months and offered
to deposit any amount of money the
commissioners should require.
The matter was held over until yes
terday. when representatives of both
companies appeared before the board.
The promoters of both roads are all
Philadelphians. and the Elkton and
Chesapeake City Company contend that
it's franchise cannot legally be revoked,
and further STATED that 1t would build
the road within a reasonable time. Al
ter considerable debate the board de-
ferred action until next Tuesday.
