the center building will complete
the brick work, which will be ac-
complished in the next two weeks.
The building so far in it's con-
struction fully meets and in fact
exceeds the expectations of the
public generally. 1t is both mas
sive and attractive in design and
will be one of great ornament to
the town.
THE NEW PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH-The stone work on the
new Presbyterian Church is COM
pleted and the carpenters are put
ting up the frame work of the
steeple that surmounts the tower.
Of course it looks very different
from what it will when entirely en-
closed, but there is enough done to
see that it is going to be a thing
of beauty. With its green stone
walls of well defined lines, brick
trimmings for windows and doors,
and generally pleasing architectur-
al design, it is altogether unique,
the most attractive structure in
modern design in the town. AS
soon as the steeple is completed
the roof proper, also of slate, will
be put on. In the mean time the
tin roof of the chapel has been com
pleted by L. c. Mccoy and it is in
the hands of the pl&sterer, James
7. White. It is the design of the
pastor and building committee to
have the chapel completed and
seated for holding the initial ser
vice the first Sunday in October.
During the past week large and
heavy slabs of granite were laid
at the three entrances.

STRAYED BUT NOT STOLEN
On Friday evening last the fam
lily carriage Of William M. Bell
conveyed some members of his
family and lady visitors to Bel
mont Hall to spend the evening.
At ten o'clock the coachman of the
place geared up the team and af-
ter waiting awhile hitched it to a
post. When the party came out
nearly an hour later, To- the team
was gone, and they had to foot it
into town. The next morning Mr.
Bell instituted diligent search. 1t
was tracked a mile or two down
the road and the trail lost. AS
seven or eight hours had passed
and no intelligence Of it, the ra-
tional conclusion was that it had
been stolen. The fact was tele-
graphed to all points of egress
from the Peninsula. Near noon the
team was found at the residence of
George t. Thompson near the Big
Oak where it had been since about
IL o'clock the night before. Mr..
Thompson said two men who were
on their way to Dover in a buggy
drove up to his house and called
him up, saying they had found the
team between Belmont and the
mill pond, the horse in a walk and
thinking it had slipped away from
some one just behind. had carried
it thus far without finding an own
er and thus sought place to leave
it. The whip, robe, and wrappinae
were all intact, showing that the
turnout was astray and not stolen.
