POPE Plus X GIVES BLESSING
TO ROMANS.
Probably the most dramatic
feature connected with the
assumption of the papal power
by Plus X was the ceremonial
of blessing the people of Rome.
Standing forward in the win.

having fallen back, re deliber.

looked across the great basilica.
Crossing himself, Sarto raised
his hand and in voice palpably
tremulous. he said:
Auditorium nostrum in
nomine Domini."
10 this came in reply from
thousands of voices the cry:
"Qui fecit coelum ct terram?"
In thrilling voice the pope
responded:
sit Nomen Domini Benedic.
tum!"
Then raising himself to his
full height and leaning forward
as much as possible, he intoued:
"Benedicdt vos omnipotens
deus" etc, which scalled forth
such applause that several min
utes elapsed before the pontlff
could retire. He then drew
back and the procession reform

the moment of leaving the win.
dow, he turned to Monsignor
Bisleti, who happened to be be.

Il shall never again feel just |

who made heaven and earth?
May the name of the Master

May the omnipotent God

RIGHT SIDE UP WITH CARR
Big Steam Road Roller viii Be Ii
Commission Again Soon.

The big steam road roller has been
rescued from its helpless condition in
the swamp on the west side of the
river and is now awaiting few
repairs, when it will be put into com
mission again on the roads.
The roller was found much less
damaged than was expected. The
men in charge OF it are greatly pleased
to find 1t can be repaired and ready to
put to work again at very small cost.
Mr.. Sheets is too ingenious to be
bluffed by little difficulties like ten
ton roller upset over an mbankment.
He went to work Monday with Auto
matte jacks, digged down TO solid
foundation in the swamp, and soon
had the heavy machine right side VI
with care.
1t was found that the lever by
which the driver reverses steam had
slipped off the fuIcrum. That was
the reason Mr.. Chapman could not re-
verse the machine, and it ran away
with him and over the bank.

Chestnut Street Property Owners
Making But One Reservation in
Deeds.
Since the City Council ordered work
stopped on Chestnut street until such
time as the AUDITING property
owners should give proper deeds and
titles for the foot-strip to the city,
several satisfactory deeds have been
given, and 1T is probable that work
can go on at an early date. The
only reservation made by the owners
in the deeds, is in regard to the place
ing OF telephone or telegraph poles,
There can not be erected on the street.
The property owners, it has been dis.
covered, have perfect right to mal..
such reservation, for it was condi-
ton of the original grant and
contained ia the Councils order OF

THREE PROPOSITIONS
Now Before Utility Company
for West Side Line.

Situation Thoroughly Discussed al
Meeting Last Night Keener Heirs
Make Offers Mr.. sturgiss Says there
are Good Prospects OF Completing
Line this Fall.
The West Side trolley line prop
osition was thoroughly discussed at
a meeting OF the directors of the
Union Utility company last night.
No definite action was taken, but
there seems to be an excellent pros
pect of building an electric line to
Granville yet this fall.
Engineer Morris is still engaged
in making locations, determining
grades OF curves, and preparing es.
Inmates of cost The company will
not take any definite action in regard
to continuing the work, or selecting
route until these are completed.
The directors consider L. V. Keck s
proposition very liberal one. They
find the grade pretty steep by the
keck route, but it may be selected
wholly, or in part nevertheless.
The keener heirs have made what
the company considers a very fair
proposition for rights of way. This
can be used either in connection
with Mr.. Keck's offer, or with Henry
Snyder's.
Have You any propositions from
the men who "anted $4,000 for 800
feet?" was asked OF Mr.. Sturgiss by
the New DOMINION man this morn
ing.
mo he replied, 1--WE have none
from them, and would not consider
any if they were made. When We
stopped work on the old route, We
abandoned it definitely and finally
We have three opportunities, now
of securing route, and will accep
one of them"
do you think the line will bt
built to Granville this fall?" asked
the reporter.
"We have great hopes that i
will" said Mr.. Sturgiss. The prop
ositions we now have before us ar,
very fair. If few other simila
concessions are made, we can anC
will go right ahead with it. =

A meeting of s. M. Prince, in charge
of the foundation work for the Wal
nut street bridge, Frank Cox, attor-
ney for the M. s. K. railroad company,
and DR.. l.. S. Brock was held this
morning to relocate pier for the new
bridge. The present location was
found to be nearer the M. & X road
than was desirable. A new location
was decided upon.
Mr.. Weaver says he will now have
the stone work complete in a few
days. All the iron for the bridge is
on The ground. Several of the build
ers have been here for some days and
the chief engineer arrived yesterday,
so it is hoped that further delay Ia
the erection of this bridge will not be
necessary.
The abutments have been complete
for some time.

to all, Home Missions and Womans'
Home Missions" was ably discussed
by Rev. S. L. Morgan of Palatine

Union was made by Mrs. Crumley,
the wife OF the Baptist minister at
Grafton She made very interest
ing and helpful talk.
Rev. c. r. Cruikshank, of Glades-
vile conducted the devotional exer-
cises this morning.
The Subject of Foreign Missions
aud Womans' Foreign Missions"
was intelligertly discussed in a
paper by Miss Mabel Reynolds. Her
style of presenting the subject made
it very attractive to her hearers and
aroused increased interest in the
subject of foreign missions A dis
cussion followed the paper.
Rev. G w. Kinsey spoke on"State
Missions" and the Moderator Rev.
H. p. Hardway on "Associational
Mission Work"
Rev. II. Curry, Rev. G. A. Green
and Mrs. @. A. Herring were on the

resented in this Association was
made by the secretary, Mr.. Harry

This report shows that there have
been 81 accessions by baptism to the
Morgantown church, and 90 by
letter. The total membership is
now more than 300. The two ap
pointments of Rev. Cruikshank' s,
Goshen and Ebenezer at Gainesville,

bership. Theitotal number of com
municants at the two appointments
now exceed 500.
