Railroad Deal Still Hangs Fire—Will Probably Be Closed.

The'deal to sell the Gifford railroad t» the Monon has not been closed up and it is today not definite that the Monon will get it, but that is more than likely and Executor George H. Giffofd, who came from Tipton lrisry evening, went to. Chicago on an early train this morning to join Attorney Leopold and Chief Clerk N. G. Halsey there, to arrange the final terms. Mr. Gifford was disposed to give T. S. Roberts an opportunity to buy the road at the higher figure but was also anxious that the deal be closed and it is probable that the Monon will get it, although it may be several days before the deal is finally closed.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1914.

RENSSELAER LOST FIRST TOURNEY GAME

Brookville Defeated Them 22 to 19 and They Are Eliminated From Other Contests. Rensselaer lost its first tournament game at Bloomington Friday afternoon, being defeated by Brookville by the score of 22 to 19. Lack of spirited play is reported to have been the cause of their defeat. This eliminated them from continuation in the contest for the state championship, but most of the boys remained to witness the finish of the tourney. The Brookville team was very heavy but not especially fast and Rensselaer should have won the first game if the team had played up to its ability, but Captain Groom’s injury, suffered here a week ago, doubtless had an important part in the team’s failure to win. The Indianapolis Star speaks of Groom as the “star forward” of the Rensselaer team and says he was a martyr to the team, playing with a broken bone in his foot until removed from the game about ten minutes before the end of the game. Miller took his place. Rensselaer lost the first half 8 to 5 and tied the second half 14 to 14. Eigelsbaeh made 4 field and one foul basket, Groom made 3 field baskets and Healey 2. Babcock and Hanley played the guard positions. Rensselaer went to the fronj; in the second half hut Brookville finished strong and nosed out the victor in the last few minutes of play. Culver, Crawfordsville, Lebanon and Wingate are the real favorites in the tournament. Crawfordsville defeated Lafayette Central in a game Friday night by a score of 24 to 17. Groom will visit his brother, John, at Purdue, over Sunday and Miller will go to DePauw to visit friends. A letter from Bloomington says, “The hospitality is great.”

GARY SETTLEMENT WORE TO GET LOCAL AID

Dr. Curnick Will Deliver Sermon Sunday in Support of Home Missionary Project The Ladies Home Missionary Society of this city will assist in the work of constructing a settlement house in the city of Gary. The Woman’s Home Missionary Society, of Indiana, held its twenty-first annual meeting in Battle Ground last summer, and it was decided then to undertake the project of raising $6,000 for the construction of this settlement house at Gary. The church of that city gave a lot valued at $3,000 for the purpose. Pledges amounting to $525 were made at Battle Ground last year at. the meeting. A settlement house is regadrcd as one of the greatest needs of Gary, America’s ’magic industrial city. It has a population of almost 50,000 people, and forty nationalities are represented there. The' need of organized and systematic watchfulness over these people is essential. Half of the population is foreign. These people, many of them, have 4ome to America with heathen rites and customs, or no religious knowledge whatever. I-f these people are to be a part of America then they must be molded into our methods of living and the evil influences are numerous in Gary. This settlement can help to rescue many and no more appropriate place for the work can be found in all of the United States. It is highly appro r riate that the Home Missionary Society has taken up the burden and the Reiisselaer ladies want this city to respond liberally to the appeal. Dr. Paul C. Curnick will deliver a sermon tomorrow morning on this subject and it is right that all who can turn out and hear his ex T planation of the work. A Home Missionary special freewill offering will be taken. The ladies will ask your aid for this extremely worthy cause and you will be blessed for giving to it.

The opening day of the new Paris Hat Shop, conducted by Mrs. W. H. Beam, proved a very enjoyable affair.
