METHODISTS TO
INACCURATE A
1910 ADVANCE
Program Prepared For The En-
tire Church. Eighty-TwO
Great Rallies To Be Held

The Uniting Conference Of the
Methodist Church, meeting in Kansas
City, May, 1889, initiated a move
ment called The Methodist Advance
by unanimously adopting the follow
ing goals:
1. The Advancement of the spirit
ual life of the Church.
2. Increased support of benevol-
ences.
3. The deepening of the educational
and missionary conviction of the
Church.
4. A comprehensive and forward
looking program in every local church
AS result of this action, the Coun-
ell of Bishops has prepared pro-
gram for the entire Methodist Church
80 great rallies will be held across the
nation, designed to achieve the aims
of the Methodist Advance.
One of these rallies will be held in
Wilmington, Delaware, Monday, JAN
uary 20, in st. Paups Methodist
Church, Tenth and Jackson SITS. Four
bishops will be present and will ad-
dress the various meetings. They are

RESORT BRIDGE
MUST BEGIN BY
FEBRUARY 9TH
Dover, Del, Firm Is Awarded
Contract To Construct
Golfer Dam

Discussions over the location of the
bridge to be built at Ocean City, Md.
have been SO long-drawn out and have
left the matter so undetermined, that
the latest day for acceptance of Fed
eral aid will soon arrive. Work must
be started by February, when a War
Department perfit for the bridge ex-
pires, and it now looks as if start
will be made.
Spear-Jones & Co., Inc, of Dover,
Del, submitted a low bid of $2,79O
for preliminary work on the 100000
Ocean City bridge, the State Roads
Commission has announced.
Preliminary work will consist of
construction of a cofferdam for the
west abutment. The contract is ex-
pected to be awarded shortly.
The bridge will be constructed into
North Division street. Two other al
ternate sites-South Division street
and Worcester street-were rejected
by the roads commission. Commits
sion engineers found the Worcester
street site impractical, and the War
Department refused to grant per-
nit for the South Division street To-
cation.

Total 1888, Alt; 1889, 422.
The summary reveals the follow
ing significant facts that of the per-
sons killed FOG or 40 per cent were
pedestrians, II or IS per cent were
passengers, 10 or per cent were
bicyclists, and 129 or 81 per cent were
the operators themselves. There
were 1853 accidents involving 295
deaths in the Counties, and 125 acct
dents involving 1877 deaths in Balti-
more City. Prince Georges County
had the largest number with 4S, Bal
timore County second with 40, and
st. Mary's County having the least
number with 2.
Most of the fatalities involved
passenger cars with apparently no de-
fects operated by white males sober,
during the hours Of II P. M. to IL
Midnight, residents Of the Counties,
between the ages Of 20 and 20, with
years or more operating experience.
Most of the fatalities occurred during
clear weather, on straight, dry roads
of concrete construction and mainly
on Saturday and Sunday. In large
number of the accidents improper
driving is charged as operating too
fast for conditions. A large number
of pedestrians were killed crossing
not at intersections. Unfortunately
there were 81 Hit and Run cases.
