BAD, BUT NO REMEDY.—The Supreme Court at Nisi Prius has granted an injunction restraining St. Andrew's Lutheran Church from proceeding with the work upon the new church building at the southwest corner of Broad and Arch streets. This action by the Court was based upon a covenant in the original title, to the effect that no building other than a private residence should be erected upon the site. Under such circumstances there could be no other decision, but the existence of this covenant is certainly a matter of regret, as the beauty of Broad street will suffer greatly by it. At Broad and Arch streets there is already one attractive edifice, used as a place of worship by a wealthy Baptist congregation, and the Methodist Episcopal Church directly opposite, which is destined to be one of the most magnificent buildings on Broad street, is being pushed forward with as much rapidity as is possible. The erection of still another imposing church at the intersection of the two streets would have rendered this locality one of the most attractive in the city, and tended greatly towards the adornment of Broad street. But this unfortunate covenant looms up and puts an end to the project.
