THEY PAEALTZED PAYING.

The Main Street Improvement failed to Pass the Council. The war clouds which hovered over the city building all day Wednensday were dispelled Thursday at the council meeting and the glad moonlight of universal peace on earth and good will toward men was allowed to filter through the unwashed windows in merry triumph and happy abandon. The Main street paving resolution hod been gloriously swiped without the loss of human blood or any of the munitions of war save the paper on which the resolution was written. What did it? Why, fervid, liquid eloquence and nothing else in the wide round world. The citizens interested had been invited to come up and take part in the dincussion but Col. Elston and O. M. Gregg were the only representatives of the interested constituency present and they did not have anything to say.

It was plain when the meeting opened that something was going to happen. The resolution was either going through or it wasn't. When all had lighted their cigars and cocked their feet up on the tables in approved manner the resolution was introduced by Mr. Smith. It provided for the paving of Main street from Walnut street to the crossing of the Monon railroad. It also specified how

thiB

interesting operation

should be performed and by whom it should be paid. There was a solemn silence after the reading and no one seemed disposed to speak for a moment but finally Mr. Tomlinson delivered a stirring oration against the resolution which virtually decided its cruel fate. Mr. Tomlinson's argument was to the effect that the financial condition of the United States of America was too depressed at present to permit of the paving of Main street. The large shipments of gold to Europe and the decline in the price of silver brick did not seem to warrant a large outlay in paving brick. Your uncle William Vanarsdall followed and was as usual the observed of all ob servers and the cynosure of every appreciative eye. Uncle William believed in paving even as he believed in the great principles of the Republican party but he also believed that first of all that well burned paving brick should be laid around the public square that from this as a common center might emanate paved streets galore in the fullness of time and razure of oblivion. Messrs. Mvers and Reynolds were also opposed to the proposed improvement and Mr. Smith, like Casabianca, stood alone upon the burning deck. All had tied save him and the lurid battle flames shone 'round him o'er the dead. The lamented dead, gentle reader, was the declaratory resolution whose palid features were smeared with blood from the wounds made by its whilom friends and begrimed with the gun-powder of the opposition eloquence. It was a scene never to be forgotten and as the speechless spectators gazed there came a burst of thunder wild. It was from Mr. Smith who indulged in some pretty plain speech of the "et tu Brute" character. He stated in effect that he had prepared the resolution with trie assurance that it would be paved and after this breach he was through. He did not propose to fool away any more time in preparing measures whose supposed friends should encompass their defeat. He withdrew the resolution which accordingly was not put to vote and the Council adjourned in anything but a pleasant state of mind and temper.

THE ALPINE VI0TIM.S.

Executive Committee Meets and Considers Lamphere's Plan. The executive committee appointed by the contributors who advanced payments for entertainment at the Aldine hotel during the World's Fair, held a meeting Wednesday to hear reports which might determine the future action of the contributors. The committee is satisfied by its investigation at Chicago that Edwin O Lamphere is legally liable to respond in damages for any failure upon his part to perform the contracts of the Aldine hotel company but there may be persons among the subscribers who prefer to take their chances at the hotel for such amounts as Lamphere is willing to allow.

Mr. Lamphere gave the committee a written interpretation of his circulars to the effect that he would honor written evidence of payment to the hotel company by an allowance of 50 per cent, of amounts of payment upon his raised prices for entertainment, giving an option to contributors to take entertainment on the European instead of the American plan, and to the extent of such credit would not require the payment of any further cash. Several Indianapolis people have tried Mr. Lamphere's hotel but have not been able to settle their claims without the payment of money, except where they could produce Mr. Lamphere's writing to that effect.

It is the opinion of the committee that fair dealing from Mr. Lamphere can be obtained only [by an unreasonable amount of moral force, or by a vigorous use of legal force. It is desired that those of the contributors who prefer to seek their rights by litigation, if necessary, Bhall leave their names and amounts with Mr. Byfield, the secretary, at Paul Krauss' store without any unnecessary delay. An able firm of attorneys in Chicago stands ready to prosecute their claims, but it will be necessary to know the names and amounts before further proceedings.— Indianapolis Sentinel.

The annual meeting of the Stock holders of the Crawfordsville Coffin Company will be held at the office of the Company on Tuesday evening, July 3d, 1893, at 7 p. m., fcr the election of seven directors, and such other business as may properly come before it. By order of the Board of Directors.

REUNION MAR MACE.

A Reunion of Uo. B, lOthReajt., at Comrade Gilbert Gray's, Three Miles East of Mace.

The reunion which took place at Mr. Gray's on June 25th. 1893, was the most successful affair of the kind that has taken place in Moutgomery county in every respect, fine weather, number of persons, excellent dinner, good music and fine entertainment by Gilbert and family. When we say family we mean his good wife, daughters, son, son-in-law, and all the girls in this country who want to be his daughters-in-law. The dfiy was delightful and about 8 o'clock a. m. Gilbert stationed himself in front of his beautiful home, tastefully decorated with flags and flowers, to receive his comrades, friends and neighbors, who began to file through the gate and halt in and about the house until 113 bad collected, and 91 ate dinner. There were nineteen members of Co. B, 10th Ind., present. They wore M. D. Manson, William Stonebreaker, Elihu Nicholson, Joseph Stubbins, M. W. Hunt, M. Y. Wert, Harvey Custer, John H. Pogue, John Evans, Louis Hance, Samuel Bratton, Charles Bratton, Abe Switzer, John F. Peterson, Joe McDaniel, William R. Harris, John H. Scott and Gilbert Gray. Members of other regiments present were John W. Perry, 120th Ind. A. Plunkett, 72d Ind. Thomas Phelps, 8th Ky. William Chambers, 5th Ind. Cav. William McYey, 14th Ky. John W. Lockridge, 135th Ind. R. K. Bruce, Co. Q, 201st, Ind. and Wm. H. Stewart, Co. Q, 201st, Ind. with nearly all of their wives and some of their children. His neighbors and friendd were there to assist him in any way they could. James Patterson and wife did excellent work. The dinner was of the best the land could afford. Gilbert had fifteen gallons of grape wine in the morning which he had

put'

away for sickness, but we think he was minus six gallons whea the sun went down. Gilbert is an expert in making w.ine, at least Gen. M. D. Manson says he is. There were three boxes of cigars opened and all consumed. The party drank a barrel of lemonade. Mrs. Gen. M. D. Manson sent a candy treat to the entire congregation. There were two beautifully engraved gold headed canes presented, one to Gilbert Gray and one to John Evans. It is the custom of the .company to give a cane to every member when he gives a dinner, but John Evans lives in Iowa, and it was his first time to meet with the boys, and they concluded to surprise him. They gained their point. Mr. Manson presented Mr. Gray's cane, and Mr. Plunkett presented Mr. Evans with his. Each made appropriate remarks, and Wm. Stonebraker was master of ceremonies. The music was excellent, beginning with that grand old song "John Brown," "Tenting Tonight," "Marching Through Georgia," and many other old war songs. Myrtle Hunt, Minnie Gray and Mrs. Cora Myers occupied the stools at the piano and organ. The Misses Peterson and Louie Pogue rendered excellent vocal music. It was a gala day for all who were there and will be long remembered by every one. The next dinner and reunion will be at Harvey Custer's, near Darlington, the 8th of Oct., 1893, it being the anniversary of the battle of Perrysville, Kv., at which time Mr. Custer will receive a good caning.

Y. P. 0. U. Convention.

The Young People's Christian Union of the U. B. church held.Uheir annual con vention at Mt. Zion church last week. Twenty-five delegates were present besides a number of ministers. The convention occupied two full days and was very interesting and instructive throughout. The discussion of the different subjects on the programme showed intelligent and careful preparation. Rev. T. J. Landis, D.D. Ph. D., of Dayton, Ohio, president of the General Y. P. C. U., was present and added much to the interest cf the convention by his excellent addresses. The Union was organized four years ago, in the interest of the young people, and in that time has made a remarkable growth. It is denominational in character and its motto is "For the Glory of God and the Salvation of Men." The society is composed of a general union conference and district branch unions, and local unions. The officers of the Upper Wabash Conference Branch Union aro: President, Rev. M. Zuck, of Stone Bluff, Ind. vice-president, O.

ON A GHAXD SCALE.

CHICAGO, June 29.—Fourth of July is to be the greatest day of the fair, as splendid arrangements for the celebration of the day with befitting' dignity have already been made. At a meeting held Wednesday afternoon in the office of the committee on ceremonies the American exhibitors' committee, members of the committee on ceremonies, Mr. Millet, director of decoration, and others it was decided to designate the day "Liberty Bell Day." The programme as arranged to be given in the grand plaza in front of Administration building at 11 a. m. will be as follows:

The Ceremonies.

A chorus of 2,000 voices will be located at the four corners of the lagoon before the Administration building. Promptly at 11 o'clock in the morning, the chorus leading, the populace will sing ''Old Hundred" and the cannon will boom a thunderous amen at the close of each sentence. Then Rev. Dr. John Ilenry Barrows will deliver the opening prayer, which •will be followed by addresses by Vice President Stevenson and Mayor Carter H. Harrison. At the conclusion of Mr. Harrison's speech the choir will burst into "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," and then Miss Morris, of San Diego, Cal., will read the liberty bell poem. Following this will come the presentation of the new liberty bell and its dedication to the cause of universal liberty and peace by the chairman of the Columbian Liberty Bell association. Hampton L. Carson, of Philadelphia, will deliver an oration on "The Old Liberty Bell and the New." It will be so timed that at exactly 12 o'clock he will give the signal and the band and chorus will begin the "Star Spangled Banner."

Historic Flags to Be Unfurled. At the first verse the original star-spang-led banner, the Paul Jones flag, will be hoisted by Mrs. It. P. Stafford, the owner of the priceless relic, a descendant of Lieut. Stafford of the Bon Hoinme Richard, and Miss Mary Desha, representing the Daughters of the American Revolution. The people will join in the refrain, and all foreign flags will be dipped in honor. At the second verse the original flag of human freedom will be hoisted to its place by Mrs. Mary Frost-Orrasby, of Rhode Island, representing the Universal Peace union, and Mrs. Nettie Bringhurst, daughter of Gen. "Sam" Houston, the hero of Texas independence. At the third verse the great flag of human freedom will be floated from the Administration building by Mrs Donald Mc Lean, of New York, and Mrs. Loulie Gordon, of Georgia.

Will Chime for Liberty.

Then Mrs. Madge Morris-Wagner, of San Diego, Cal., will ring the Columbian liberty bell for the first time. The guns in the harbor will salute and all the bells in the city and throughout the whole land will peal in a mighty chime for liberty and peace forever.

More A (Ureases.

President Thomas W. Palmer will then deliver an address, after which Mrs. Frank Stewart Osborne, the Illinois member of the Columbian Liberty Bell association, will read the poem "The Liberty Bell," written by Harris Hawthorne McGee, of Tennessee. James S. Norton, from one of the original posters of 1770, will read the "Declaration of Independence." John W. Woodside, national commissioner from Pennsylvania, will deliver an address. Senator John P. Doolittle will deliver the closing oration, and the exercises will end by all singing "America" and the Doxology. After the ceremonies sehool children will cover the old and the new liberty bell with flowers. President Higinbotham will act as presiding officer.

Fireworks at Night,

Patriotic music will be given by bands placed in different parts of the grounds, and a special concert by trombones ana cornets will be given on the waters of the lagoon at 7 o'clock. In the evening the greatest display of fireworks ever attempted in this country will be given.

Heavy Damages Awariled.

For the father's share in the matter the son's wife sued for $50,000 damages.

Indorse Woman Suffrage.
