Rev. E. J. Scott Succeeding at Kendallviile. Rev. E. J. Scott, who has been preach

Two years ago the circuit had 230 members on the roll. Since then thirty-six of these have either died or beer rl'snii.^ed. During tbe two years putt there have been 212 received inio Tin mi ersV p. Two new churches have he* built-, one a frame, the other a brick, ^oth of modern style. Another church has Veen remodeled and enlarged at quite nn expense. The parsonage in the country bus been exchanged for a parsonage in the city, well located, and a good barn has been built on the same. About $8,000 have been raised, which leaves but little indebtedness remaining unprovided for. Two years ago we had four churches and parsonage valued at $5,000, now we have five with a valuation of $10,000. Then 1 we had 170 Sunday-schools now we have five denominational schools with 422 scholars, besides two other schools under gi the superintendency of and management wof members of our church. Two years ||§ag0 we had three Endeavor societies: now we have seven, with a membership of 192 two of these are inactive at present for want of a superintendent. Other important advancements have been made and altogether the outleok for tbe future is very hopeful. The church desires Mr.
Scott's return this year.

Saturday's Daily. THE COUNCILS
SPECIAL MEETING.
Tlie Sewer Ordinance Adopted, and Cement Sidewalks Ordered on South State Street—A Hot Old Time.
Last night the Council met in special session to consider the t-eWer question, and a few other important matters. All members were present.
The sewer question was taken up, and as the Council had gone over the matter thoroughly before band, no speeches were made, but the business put through promptly. A resolution was passed amending tbe plans, specifications and profile as pt pared by tbe engineers, Philips and Goss. The grade was lowered in a number of places so that cellars' might be drained.
The main outlet was changed so as to let it riitff tbe railroad *ltt» the
•'kit, t*. '-C
'otts ditch instead of through the fill, -his will save about $200. In another column we publish a legal notice which .rives the course of the sewer from where it begins up through the "Main Fall" ind the various branches so far as ordered constructed. Read it for full information as to where tbe sewer goes. A resoution was passed declaring the necessity for the construction of the sewer describing the course and the outlet and providing for raising the cost of said construction. It took an hour to read the ordinance through twice as was necessary before it could be passed. The sever is to be made under the Barrett law which gives ten years in which to pay for it, bonds being issued bearing six per cent interest payable semi-annually. The property of the entire city which will be drained by the sewer is assessable to pay for the same.
The question of putting sidewalks on South State street came up and there was where the hot old time came in. All the councilmen made speeches, and Judge D. S. Gooding spoke in an earnest and forcible manner. He was very much opposed to the Council's idea of improvement, and especially so on South State street. After he had fully covered the territory, Mayor Duncan rapped for order, and continued rapping, butthe Judge continued speaking until the Mayor finally instructed the City Marshal to secure order, and the Judge took his seat. A remonstrance was presented signed by a majority of the property owners, but a majority of the Council deemed it expedient that the improvement be made this fall, and it was so ordered. Messrs. Banker and Vaughn favored a cement walk and Moulden and Eagan a brick, but'as many of the propeity owners, if they had to put in a walk, preferred cement, it was so ordered, and there will be a 6 foot cement walk on each side of South State street, from South street to the end of the street at the creamery. Messrs. Beecher and Morford voted against the improvement, prefering to wait until next year.
When the Air Lift Pump question came up the Council instructed City Attorney E. J. Binford to write to the agent of the company, J. N. Chester, at Indianapolis, that the company bad failed to come up the contract, and that the city would not take the pumps.
Bills amounting to $6 were allowed. Mayor Dnncan, in the course of the evening, delivered a lecture to that part of the press which frequently had in ar tides not founded on facts. It prejudiced and induced people to make up their miuds from false premises. He was eminently coriect. Papers as well as men should always tell the truth and do no guess work.
Council adjourned.
