Rev. James H. Terry preached to three

thirteen persons were baptized, and

mission to the church. In the afternoon

tended. The clergyman delivered a
strong and earnest sermon on Excuses

The Philadelphia Bridge and Terminal
Company, with the object of building a
bridge over the Delaware, has filed ar
ticles Of incorporation in Camden. The
capital is placed at $125 900 and the in
corporators are ]. Disbrow Baker, Joseph
Murray and F. Stalley Saurman, who
are connected with the Corporation Trust
Company, of Philadelphia. 1t is said
there are plenty of funds behind the
men and that the bridge will surely be
built. The charter sets forth that the
proposed structure will have ample room
for trains. trolley cars, automobiles and
wagons. for all of which toll will be
charged. The bridge will be free to the
general public afoot. The charter also
states that a terminal building will be
erected on each side of the river.
A move not entirely unexpected has
occurred. The Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has put men on the trains en-
tering Camden to ascertain how many
passengers buy tickets for that station
and then cross the ferry to Philadelphia.
Underline present conditions passenger
may buy o ticket to Camden at a lower
rate than he can to Philadelphia, and
there is nothing to prevent free use Of
the ferry to cross the river. The suppo-
sition is that the railroad company pro-
poses to compel passengers to pay ferri-
age, and if such is the case the move
will not be considered as just exactly the
thing in consideration of past perform
ances. Prior to the present time a pas-
senger was compelled to pay the same
price for q ticket to Camden as to Phila-
delphia. If he did not go over the river
the railroad company profited by the
price of the ferry passage. There was
not any kick then or any effort + refund
to the passenger the amount overpaid
and it seems rather stretching the matter
now to insist on the other end OF the
affair.
