P. T. Longachre Had Talk With The Commercial Club Directors.

P. T. Longachre, of Elkhart, one of the officers and promoters of the match factory, was in Rensselaer Tuesday night and met a number of the directors of the Commercial club and talked with them about the factory status, informing them of practically the same conditions set out in The Republican some two weeks ago. He wished to have the Commercial Club understand their position and to assure them that the' present inactivity is only a delay and not an abandonment. Mr. Longachre said that he would be pleased to have the Commercial Clift) appoint a committee to come to Elkhart and see that the machines for the match making are being constructed. He said that they would hardly be able to get them installed and the factory running by March Ist, as had been expected, but that a month later they hope ready to sart He said that the stock that had been -sold to parties who failed to complete their agreement was the cause of the’ delay but that this would soon be sold and then the completion of the factory would be accomplished. Mr. Longachre was assured that the Commercial Club members were not in the least uneasy and that they would do all they could to help the factory get started. A week ago last Sunday Mr. Longachre’s father suffered a ‘ stroke of paralysis and his condition remains critical. This has caused his son to spend much of his time there and accounts for his delayed visit here.

The Jasper County Democrat announces that it" has concluded a deal for the purchase of the 3-story brick business room on Washington street, the lower floor of which was recently, occupied by Weast’s pool room. Some needed repairs preparatory to installing the machinery of the Democrat office will be made. The room will be partitioned off from the front and two front rooms made, one for the Democrat’s business office and the other for rent. The second floor will be maintained as a flat and- the third floor for a storage room. The publishers of - The Republican, negotiated fbr the purchase of this building about a year and a half ago, but the peculiar condition in which the ownership stood and still stands, caused us to withdraw from the idea of purchase. The building Is 25 feet in width, but occupies only 20 feet of its own ground. The east five feet of the ground belongs to the Monnett heirs arid the lease expires in 1915. The east flve feet of the building belongs to Whrren Robinson and James H. Chapman. To offset this the owner of the building which The Democrat states it has arranged to buy, also owns five feet of ground and five feet of the east end of the Nowels hotel building which occupies that ground. As the building would have to be extensively repaired before it could be occupied by a printing" office, there was grave uncertainty about the wisdom of its purchase. Mr. Babcock may, however, be able to adjust the matter, providing Robinson and Chapman purchase the five feet of leased ground and trade it and the east end of the building under discussion for the east five feet of ground and building of the hotel.
