Believed That Work Will Begin Very Soon On Extension of the System. PROPERTY OWNERS GLAD. Amended Contract to Meet Objections of Board of Audit and Finance Now Ready for Its Approval Con tracting Firm Ready. The arrival in the city yesterday of Mr. Wm. McLean, of Philadelphia, president of the contracting firm of Wm. McLean & Co., and the recent signing of the amended contract by ttie Mayor and" City Attorney, are construea to mean tnat in an incom parably short time work will begin on an extension of the water works sys tem into the Fifth ward, plans for which were long ago accepted and the contract awarded. The work was held up until October 1st by the law preventing excavations from being made during the Summer season and since that time the Board of Audit and Finance had not seen proper to approve the contract in its original form, which was declared too verbose and in conflict with the city contract with the Clarendon Water Works Company, which stipulates that the laying of new pipe for any extension shall be under the super vision of the company's engineer in stead of the engineer of the city as was provided in the Fifth ward con tract. The original paper was re- referred to the Aldermen and the ob jections of the. Finance Board elimi nated by the drawing of a condensed contract and the naming of Mr. Jno. H. Sweeney as engineer to supervise the work. It is now believed that the Board of Audit and Finance will see its way clear to let the work go on and the beginning of actual work on the extension will be hailed with pleasure by property owners in Fifth ward, who thus far have enjoyed only meagre protection from fire losses. According to the original plans the pipe laying will begin on Fourth street between Church and Castle, near the middle of the block, and ex tend to Dawson street. From the middle of the block to Castle street a six-inch main is already laid, but it will be replaced by a twelve-inch main, which will extend on to Daw son. On Dawson the new pipe will be laid up to Eighth street and down Eighth to Church and down Church to Fourth, completing the "loop." Eight-inch pipe will be laid on Dawson between Fourth and Seventh streets and six and eight-inch mains on the remainder of the loop. A hydrant will be placed on each block. Messrs. McLean & Co. alreadyJiave much of the material on the ground, and are only waiting for the word "go. " The city was fortunate in con tracting for the work months ago, since which time there has been a heavy advance in all material of the kind to be used. JUNIORS WILL CELEBRATE.

A Singular Coincidence. Business has not been brisk in the office of the Register of Deeds for the past week, but yesterday afternoon a queer coincidence took place, which served to relieve the monotony exist ing with the clever deputy register for several days.

The N. Y. tress clips from the Bethlehem (Pa) Times, Oct 8th, 1901. the following: "Nothing but superlative praise can be said of Mr. Wm. Carl's ability and mastery both in the art of interpreting and in that of composing. He ranks deservedly among the foremost musical artists of this country. His pedaling is marvelous. He beats the pedals as familiarly as ne does the key-board, and makes them lesponsive to the sentiment of the music. It is certainly a delightful experience to hsten to him." The people of Wilmington are for tunate indeed in having an opportuni ty to hear Mr. Carl, and the Organ Fund Society is to be congratulated in securing him for one night The night after his appearance tbe best local talent of the city will furnish tome of their delightful music, making two concerts in one, both for tbe same ticket which will be sold at the aston ishingly low price of 50 cents.

The Meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Yesterday Morning Productive of Tbat Result. Number of Professions and Con- -versions Last Night. Interest grows apace in the series of revival services now in progress at the First Baptist church by Evangelist Greenwood, directed by the pastor, Rev. Dr. Calvin S. Blackwell. All the meetings yesterday were more largely attended and last night the services began to bear fruit in a num ber of public professions' and conver sions. The prayer meeting down town yes terday afternoon between the hours of 13:30 o'clock and 1 o'clock was very hopeful and accomplished well Jhe purpose for which it was de&ieaed, e. catching the attention for a a moment of those passing, "on the wing," so to speak. It was noticeable that an entirely new audience, though not large, was present and a very deep interest manifested. The afternoon meeting at the church at 3:30 o'clock was more largely at tended than before. Mr. Greenwood spoke with much effect upon the gen eral subject: "The Church, the Bride of Christ." The night service was a very pro found one. The subject of a very powerful discourse by Mr. Green wood was "The Vital Touch to the Life of Christ" A large congrega tion beard the sermon, and an "after meeting" in the main auditorium re sulted in five public professions and one restoration. For the after ser vice nearly the whole congregation remained, -'demonstrating the very wide scope of interest The services to day will be at the usual hours, and the invitation is urged upon all people, regardless of denomination, to attend the meet ings. At the instance of Dr. Blackwell, several of the ministers of the city met in the Y. M. C. A. building yes terday morning at 11 o'clock for the purpose of converting the meeting into something of a union type. It was deemed inadvisable to make a union meeting of the services in the strictest interpretation of the word, but a goodly number of pastors were present enjoyed a pleasant confer ence with Mr. Greenwood and prom ised him their personal and since rest co-operation in his efforts for good. Incidentally the committee, which was appointed upon the occasion of the memorial service some time ago, brought up the matter of organizing an Interdenominational Ministerial Association, and so perfect was its harmony with the spirit of the' meet ing that the Union was formed at once by the election of the Rev. Dr. Blackwell as president and the Rev. Dr. A G. Voigt as secretary. Dr. J. M. Wells. Dr. A. G. Voigt and Rev. J. N. Cole were appointed a committee to draw up a constitution and by-laws. The committee will make a report at a meeting to be held at 10 o'clock next Monday morning. Those present at the meeting were Rev. J. M. Wells, Ph. D. ; Rev. A. G. Voigt D. D.; Rev. C. S. Blackwell, D. D. ; Rev. J. N. Cole and Rev. John H. Hall. LIST OF LETTERS. Remaining Uncalled For in the Wilming ton Postofflce Oct. 30th, 1901. WOMEN'S LIST.
