A. R. BAYLESS DEAD.

Stroke of Paralysis Ends the Life of a Known Citizen.

Suddenly Well

Abijah R. Bayless, the well known liveryman, died yesterday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock from the effects of a paralytic stroke. Mr. Bayless had been unable to attend to business for some time 011 account of an affection of the kidneys, but for some weeks had been improving and hopes were entertained of his recovery. About six o'clock yesterday morning he was stricken by paralysis. From this stroke he rallied, but another came at 10 o'clock which caused his death at the hour named aljove.

A. R. Bayless was a native of Fountain county, having been bom at Wallace, December 19, 1856, which would make him almost 13 years old. The early portion of his life was spent in the neighborhood of Alamo, from which place he came to this city about 18 years ago. In 1872 he married Miss Tamar Ward, who with three children, George, Effie and Lee, survive him. He came to Crawfordsville in 1881, and started business in a small way with a moving wagon. He started later 011 the first ten cent hack line ever in the city. The business grew info a large livery establishment, occupying the fine new barn on west Market street. He was in demand always with picnic parties to the Shades and elsewhere, and did a big business. He was always pleasant and won patronage and friends by his courteous treatment of the public. He was an enterprising citizen and will be missed greatly. He was a member of DeBayard Lodge, K. of

P., Sciota Tribe, I. O. R. M., and of the P. O. S. of A. The funeral arrangements Will be announced later.

Will Probated

The will of John Collett has been probated. His estate is estimated to be of a value somewhere between $125,000 and $175,000. He left to Henry Campbell, Stephen Campbell, and Mrs. W. T. May, the sum of $1,000 each. A large portion of the estate was left to the Collett home for orphans located at Clinton, Ind., If this should not be permantly maintained then the bequest goes to the Rose

Polytechnic institute, at Terre Haute.

A FINE SCHOOL

-|s That Of District 33 at New Market.

Upon request of some of the busi-

liess men of New Market a representative of THE REVIEW visited the new school building there recently. We cannot but rejoice at the progress of to-day with all the conveniences, we are constantly called upon to note. We have had the pleasure of visits to numerous new structures throughout the country and have observed the modern construction of our institutions of learning. Among several of the more prominent schools is the building in district No. 33 recently completed in New Market. The new byiildiug is a beauty, situated in the center of a level two acres. It has six commodious rooms, a large basement and is sufficiently heated by two furnaces. A large portion of the basement is covered with saw dust and affords a winter play grouud for the pupils.

Five of the rooms are used for school work and the sixth 011 the second Iloor is a perfect flower garden. Many of the housekeepers of the town are allowed free storage for their plants here in the winter and it is indeed well as they are a source of pure air. During study hours we noted a perfect discipl ue which rellects great credit upon the efficient corps of teachers headed by the principal,Prof. S. H. Watson, who graduated from Wabash in '93, and who has had charge of the New Market schools for several years. Mr. Watson is a preceptor of marked ability, and has had a wealth of experience in his chosen calling, having taught previously in

Ripley township and at Garfield. He now lias an enrollment of 160 scholars representing three townships, and there are pupils residing eight miles distant from the school. With Prof. Watson are associated Miss Mollie Hoover, teacher of the seventh and eighth grades Miss Harriet Harding in the fifth and sixth Miss Etta Follick in the third and fourth, and Miss

Mollie Hall in the first and second grades. These teachers are appreciated by patrons of the school and have been instrumental in its advancement. Mr. J. H. Armantrout, the janitor, busies himself in his care of the building,and we found a most creditable tidy appearance upon an unexpected visit. The New Market schools are par excellence,and worthy the time spent in a visit to them.

THAT BELL FRANCHISE.

it Is Not the Great Bugaboo It Was Supposed to Be.

The general impression isabroad that the action of the council Monday night re-instated the Central Union Telephone Company in all the rights and privileges given it under the old franchise. But this docs not seein to be the case. The original franchise was declared null and void by the action of the council last June. The resolution of last Wednesday night was worded in such a manner that the old franchise was restored. But it seems that by the resolution of Monday night the action of the Council last June was not rescinded, and the Central Union franchise remains null and void still. The only thing done at Monday evening's meeting was to direct the city attorney to withdraw the suits against the Central Union, they paying the costs already accrued and agreeing to hold the city clear from trouble. Their franchise, if the action of the council last June was legal, is as dead as Julius CaesarThe Central Union Telephone Company has no franchise in the city of Crawfordsville, and a new franchise will have to be secured before it can operate its lines. If it attempts to set poles, any citizen of the city has the right to enjoin it, as it will be a trespass. This proposition puts another face on the situation. If the old franchise is dead a new one will have to be granted before the company can operate its system in this city. If the proceedings of the council were illegal last June, then the Central Union will have to bring suit to test the question. Mr. Thompson states that this is the present status of the affair. That the city is out of lawsuits and the Central Union out of a franchise, and the present council will grant no free frars chises to anyone.

The Old— New Orchestra.

Last night the old Music Hall orchestra disbanded after a continuous and peaceful organization of twenty years. It was immediately reorganized and elected the following officers: R. C. Smith, president and manager Sim Eldridge, secretary and treas urer Harry Ramsbrook, director and leader Frank Davis, 1st violin Ivy Carr, trombone Frank Hack, 2nd violin. The new members taken in were Leo Schweitzer, double bass Clarence Brown, viola Scott Galey, trap drummer. A flute player is yet to be added making an orchestra of ten pieces. This organization has passed through many changes, but has held together without a single jar or wrangle for twenty years a longer time than any musical organization tin record. They will have for next season the finest combination of musicians the city has ever had, and SOUK fine music may be expected.

After the Gas Company. The 'Indiana Natural and Illuminating Gas Co., has been sued by J. R. Anthony, of Lebanon, for damages placed at $2,025. He alleges in his complaint extortionate charges and violations of a city ordinance with reference to furnishing sufficient gas, and alleges that the company deprived him of the use of gas,although he had paid for the same. He complains further and says his gas was shut off by the company on Feb. 18, and the family suffered thereby, while fruit and flowers were frozen. Mr. Anthony's suit will be watched with interest. But he could have avoided freezing by burning wood and coal as we had to do at

Crawfordsville. Natural gas is a luxury for which the people can afford to pay, whether they get it or not. It proper to have it, so to kick against the pricks is foolish.

At iluslc Hall.
