Arthur Fisher and wife returned from Hamburg, Germany, last Saturday evening. They had been there during the past seven months, Mr. Fisher being engiged in selling horses for the firm of Fisher A Frysinger. Arthur reports an excellent trip home and says that both himself and wife are in better health than they ever were. They however prefer life in Adams county and will not return to Germany, for a while at least. Fred Martin, a hustling young man of this city, has secured a lease upon the Steele park, just across the river, and will immediately proceed to make it a pleasure resort of some prominence. The grand opening will take place July 4th, at which time all sorts of pleasures will be in store for those who attend. The day’s program consists of boat races, sack races, music and in fact everything which goes to make up a first-class celebration, closing in the evening with a grand sham battle between American and Spanish forces upon the lake. Boat riding will be a feature of the day's pleasure and in fact they will be too numerous to mention. Go and see and enjoy them for yourself. It has been known for some time that the Catholic church of this city were going to buy a handsome new organ. The following from the Fort Wayne Journal tells of the contract being closed: H. A. Engmann, the organ builder, of 133 East Jefferson street, returned yesterday afternoon from Decatur, Ind., where he closed a contract for building a new organ for St. Mary’s Catholic church of that city. The contract price is understood to be 83,000 and the time limit is December 1. Fort Wayne has a reputation for organ building better known abroad than at home. The Packard reed organ is known the world over, and the Engmann system of hand made pipe organs is conceded to be of the highest class. The members of the city council held two meetings during the past week, one last Friday evening and one Monday evening. At the former nothing of importance was done save the acceptance of City Engineer Knoff’s bond. At the later Peterson and Kinzel, two of the linemen for the electric plant, were given a hearing for their grievances. It seems that Peterson has been doing most of the work and receiving the smallest pay. He has been working for 830 per month and putting in thirty days anil threatened to quit if things were not changed immediately. Kinzel s contract does not expire until in September and it seems his salary could neither be decreased nor his work increased. After due deliberation it was decided to allow Peterson 535 per month and reduce his time of labor from th-’rty to twenty-six days in the month.

Andrew McConnehey and Ed Gross who were arrested here several days ago, by United States Marshal Rose and taken to Ft. Wayne had a hearing last Saturday and pleaded guilty to the charge of forgery. Sunday’s Ft. Wayne Journal said: McConehey and Gross, the two Decatur lads who were arrested upon a charge of forging a postal order, were arraigned in the United States court yesterday. Both pleaded guilty and were bound over to the United States court at Indianapolis. Their bond was fixed at 8500 apiece and in default of bail they went to jail. Studies in Elocution. Prof. Wm. E. Adams of the Fort Wayne college of expression, has concluded to take a limited number of students at Decatur.

Lew Singleton returned Monday morning from Germany where he had been for several weeks disposing of a load of horses for Fisher & Frysinger. Lew is as jolly as ever and we presume that the trip must have agreed with him. The condition of Mrs. R. D. Patterson is very critical and her death is expected at any time. Since her return from Chicago she has been rapidly sinking. The family, including Mesdames Jennie Todd and Hattie Morrison have been at her bedside constantly since Sunday. Wisconsin farm lands.
