ABOUT
KEYP0RT LAND
Report That Armery Proper
ty Has Been Sold.
s-se4sI TO tho EVENING NBwa.

Keyport, Sept. 7:-Rumors TO the
effect that the Armory property in
First street, on which are the ruins
of the armory destroyed by fire a few
years ago, and which property az
tends through to Front street, on
which side there are two stores, one
occupied by a Chinese laundry and
the other by a cigar store, had been
sold, have been for some days yery
common but as no Information was
forth coming from those interested
no definite news could be obtained.
Several weeks ago in a local news
paper appeared the account of the
entire history Of the building and
property in question and also the
decision given by a judge as to the
proper disposition OF the property,
whose ownership Ia so complicated,
it being in the beginning the prop
erty of the Raritan Guard Associa-
ton and still remains SO, Or to the
descendants Of members of the or
g~antzation. AS stated at the time
the property could be sold and the
proceeds used again In the same line
as originally intended for a public
library. Acting upon this advice a
lot was purchased by a committee of
the old Raritan Guard Association
on the Burrowes property at the cor
ner Of Cross and Broad streets, and
the property was placed on the mar
ket for sale.
Shortly after the fire an attempt
a made to sell the property and D.
E. Mahoney offered $1,000, which
was accepted, but owing to the in
ability to obtain a clear title for the
deed the bargain was cancelled. SO
once again offers were received and
rumors Of a transaction became prev
alent, but nothing developed anthem
tic until the first Of the month, when
the sale signs were removed from
the structure.
While inside information is still
lacking it Is positively stated and
understood that Elias Goldsmith
made the purchase and bought the
property for Henry Vreeland, of
Cliffwood, who owns the building In
which the Woolworth three and nine
cent store and Denkon's restaurant
are situated in on Front street, the
McCabe building on Broad street
and the government ROW property on
Mott street.
What disposition Mr.. Vreeland
will make of his new property has
not been made known. As the lot is
already purchased a beautiful public
building for the borough is now as
sured, providing other unexpected
complications do not arise to tie up
the cash.

record of encouraging work un- der disheartening conditions is to be found in China and the Gospel an interesting publication containing the annual review of the activities of the China Inland Mission. First the plague, then the floods, and finally the revolution-and,d despite all these, signs of progress.
 Some of the mission stations were footed during the revolution, and two adult workers and six children of missionaries were murdered by law less mobs, but, with these exceptions, the stations were unmolested and dur ing the period of disorder frequent proof was given of the esteem and confidence in which many of the mis- sionaries are held by the populace around them.
 It is suggested that the fact that the government seem at present fa- vorahly disposed towards Christians carry with it the needs of a new dan ger, in that the favor of governments has not always been conducive to pure and genuine religion.
 The report for the Province of Honan give several instances of the alertness of Chinese Bible students. Among the questions they put to their teacher were the following:
 Explain the discrepancy between Sam. xxiv. "A and Chron. xxi. "A, 25.
 Did the bodies of the saints which arose at the resurrection of our Lord rise finally, or only for a time as says Lazarus?
 How were men saved before the death of our Lord?
 If Lazarus needed to be freed be- fore he could walk, how did he come out of the tomb
 What is meant by the figures of speech in Canticles?
 It is recorded of one intelligent in- quirer, who possessed copy of "The Worlds One Hundred Most Famous ! Men" published by the Christian Lit. erature Society, that he could no1 understand why Jesus was not includ ed in the list.
