PROVEMENTS At
D. L,G V. STATION

The ID. L. q W. Railroad Company
has taken the initiative III the matter
of street paving. 1t intends 70 SUI
round its station with pavement OF
Belgian blocks and asks that the Bor
ough unite with it and extend the i'm
pToyement.
NJ. H. Doughty, one of the engineers
OF the d. l.. 4 " Railroad, during a
visit to this city Saturday fully OK
planned the proposition to repres-
entative of the News. Beginning with
Pearl street as the thorOughfare lead
ing from Boyer's coal yard south over
the ID. l.. & W tracks is known, the
railroad company intends to pave all
its ground about the station down as
far as the l6-foot alley abuttinR on
Rogers marble yard. Belgian blocks
will be used and the pavement in
every respect will bo first class and an
ornament TO the railroad property, the
cost entailed being at least $4,000.
The railroad company does not sec
how il can make good job of its
pavement unless the Borough consents
To pave the alley next to Rogers stone
yard and small portion of Arch
street The latter is the street which
leads from the station along Blizzard ;
ran up to Church street. About the
only paving asked for here would be
the small amount required to square
uu the work where the l6-fOot alley
IureIsucts.
Tho object of Euginocr Doughty'a
visit was to make proposition TO the
Borough. looking to an extension of
tho uavomcnt as described above. So
anxious Is the railroad company 10
have the Borough unite with it that
II proposes to undertake with its own
Job the laylng Of the alley and the
small space on Arch street, charging
the municipality for the work only,9O
cents pcr square yard, figure merely
sufficient to cover the cost The Street
and Bridge Committee of Council
has the matter under consideration
and will make its report at the next
of Council. Engineer Doughty
stated Saturday that the new pave
mrnt will be begun at the station as
soon as the Borough Council is heard
from

Deep 0ut Completed.

Should the weather prove at ali
favorable, today will practically see
the completion of the sewer as Tar as
the deep cut extends. II has been a
long and trying task in which obstacle
after obstacle. unforeseen when the
work was begun, had TO be surmount
ed. Ground was broken on June Bird,
but 1t is safe to say that during one
third of the time since, the work has
been held up either by rain or by high
water on the river, which flooded the
trench. In addition TO the presence
of the water the constant use of crib
bing was another hindrance and oN-
pcnse which was not rcckoned ON.
There are probably but few towns
in the state having sewers whore such
deep cxcavating was necessary as was
required between the river and Ma
honing creek, where the deepest point
went down about thirty feet That
the work has been so successfully
pushed through speaks we'll for the
executive ability, the ingenuity and
resources OF p. J. Keofer and +. 5.
Miller. who have the work in charge.
Beyond this point the work will
proceed rapidly. Some difficulty may
be experienced in passing through the
arches under Mill. Ferry and Church
streets, but beyond these it is believed
all will be clear sailing

REV. HUTCHISON'S
FIRST SERMON

Rev. J. f. Hutchison, pastor-elect
of Mahonlng Presbyterian church.
/ Sudnay entered upon his duties, preach
ing two fine sermons. large CON
gregation was present morning and
/ evening.
The morning sermon was founded on
| Mark ii :S-"She hath done what she
could " The discourse ran along the
line of service to God, the speaker ap-
plying the thought very nicely to the
new relations of pastor and congrega-
tion assumed in the Mahoning Presby,
Him who judges.
Then we are measured by our pres
ent best, not by the best of yesterday.
This and many other beautiful lessons
were learned by reviewing all the cir
cumstances of Christ's visit to the
home of Martha and Mary. If we are
going to do our best the object Of its
expression should be the highest OBJ
jcCt. Mary did her best not for her
I sui, uot iol uai tila' buI iOI cil40t'
Though we may have done we'll, we
have not done our best until we have
terian church.
This act of Mary, in the text prais-
ed by Jesus, the speaker said, he un-
dorstood as implying that she had
done the very best for Him that she
could. 1t was the highest cOmmenda-
tion that the Savior could bestow, for
if any one knows the real worth of an
act, that one is Jesus. Others might
not see the motive; they might be de-
Ccived, but not so the Master.
The discourse emphasized the fact
that our best is not measured by the
best of others. The Savior did not
measure Martha by Mays ability and
yet Martha's weakness is revealed Just
the same. There is but one infaIlible
standard We can't measure men by
men. We must be measured according
to our ability to measure up to the
Christ standard. Not what we do but
what we truly strive to do will mark
our failure or success in the eyes of
done all we can do for Christ. Not
failure, but low aim is crime " The
highest aim is Christ, whom Mary
served The best for Christ is the best
for others. If you do your best for
Christ be sure that his disciples and
others and yourself will be recipients
of the blessing however, costly the ser
vice.
The best we can do will be CRITICS
ed just As the act of Mary was CRITICS
ed by the disciples and particularly
Judas. But if we are true men and
women unmindful Of criticism, we Will
continue to do our best and with the
help of God plant the standard OF our
best little higher at each successive
service
