mission Yesterday afternoon the ex-
ecutive committee reported having
referred the matter of a historic
tablet in Eden Park wall to j. New
lin Gawthrop. The committee also
reported varions park work pro-
crossing rapidly and favorably.
An interesting feature of the OK
ecutive committees report was that

piled that the rules of the park for
babe its use for such purposes by

there is some hitch over the mat

Attention was called to the need
of improving the upper portion of

ed that the work would cost $4,000
but it was considered that the work
was necessary. some of the mem
bers were Of the opinion that tho
work could be done much cheaper
because it would not be necessaryto
lay deep foundations. Engineer
Lelsen thought it would safer to
make the stone road at least six
inches deep. 1t reported that there
was considera use of the road at

used more in the future. The mat
ter was referred to the executive
committee with power to act and

PORT PENN
CHURCH.

| A writer to the West Chester Loca
News says:
The Presbyterian Church at Port
Penn. Delaware, to which the Rev.
B. f. Davis was called some months
since, was ministered two years ago
by the Rev. George Foot, father.in.
law Of the Rev. VIM. T. Moore, who
was for more than twenty years pas
tor OF the First Presby terrain Church
West Chester. Mr. Foot was In.
stalled pastor Of this church and
Drawers Church, Odessa, November
Is. 1888. He remained here nine years
and in April 1s4s. accepted call
to Northumberland, Pa. He az
forwards filed charges at New
ark, Delaware, East withstand, Pa;
GLASGOW, Delawa and at Cbristi-
ana. He died at Odessa In May 1867.
The house next door tn the church
was the home of Mr.. Foot. and Is at
present occupied by Miss Mary Stew
art, who shows the study chair OF
Mr.. Foot la the room formerly oc.
cupied by him as study. Here the
Rev. WIN. E. Moore was student
with Mr.. Foot by whom he and other
young men we're prepared for college
or theological seminary. Back Of the
church upon another street stands
the former home Of the parents Of the
Rev. VIM. +. Moore.
The chandelier In the church at
Port Penn, which once graced the
First Presbyterian Church, West Ches.
ter, as was noted by the News some
time since. was brought here no
doubt through the interest Of Mr..
Moore in both congregations.
Port Penn is quiet. pleasant town
of some three bundled inhabitants,
and gets its name from the fact that
William Penn Is said to have stopped
here for a supply of water on his way
up the river TO what Is new Philadel.
phia. The steamer Columbia brings
to a park u half mile below the town
from seventeen hundred to three |
thousand visitors from Philadelphia,
who come for days outing. There
is good bathing for a short distance
at this point. The head of the Del.
aware Bay is a few miles below town;
Fort Delaware IS at Delaware City, !
four miles above, and Quarantine is
upon Reedy Island, just opposite
Port Penn.
The present church at Port Penn
was built in 1884 and rebuilt in
1856. 1t is we'll appointed brick
structure. and the congrcg alton a
progressive and Jealous people.
The present parsonage IS a home.
like. old fashioned house, two doors
from the church. Moderated by
pant and paper, and presided over
by Mrs. DAVIS, it is a centre OF hos
pitality for the congregation. The
yard and garden arc we'll supplied
with fruit aud vegetables at the
present season. and supply the
pastors table moot beautifully.
-Four or FIVE varieties Of grapes hang
IN Vulnerable clusters from arbors
which shade much Of The yard.
Altogether Port Penn seems a
garden spot aud is a most desirable
place in which to spend few days
or a longer time.

TELEPHONE
COMBINATION.

From Philadelphia comes the news
that with the acquisition Of the Un-
tied Telegraph and Telephone Com.
pany the Keystone Telephone Com.
pany secures an outlet as far west as
Harrisburg and throughout Dauphin
and Cumberland Counties, and the
lines Of the Cumberland Valley Tcle-
phone Company and the Dauphin
County Telephone Company. It is
understood that the Delmarvla
Telephone Company. Of Wilmington,
Del, and at least nine other indepen.
dent telephone companies, including
Anthracite Telephone Company. oI
Hazelton, will DO taken over within .
few weeks, thus forming the necleus
for q comprehensive long.distance
system which will be pushed to com.
p!etIon as fast as the construction can
be done.
The mild weather Of last winter
enabled the construction gangs on
the lines of the Western Union to
accomplish a great deal out Of the
season, and unless the coming winter
proves unusually severe the several
independent line scan be connected up
and put In direct communication
with Philadelphia at comparatively
early date.
The extensions of tbs Keystone
system in this city are being pushed
with all possible speed and scores Of
new subscribers are being connected
every day. The lines in West Phil
adelphia will soon b. in operation as
will those tapping the northeast. The
five-ccnt call has proved immensely
popular and the paw station system
will be extended to every public place
In the CITY where an instrument can
be conveniently installed. 1t is pro.
posed to thus connect every store in
town with the thousands d house.
