A SANITARIUM.

Would Not A Health Kesort Witli An Abundance of Xlie Famous Blue Lick Water Be a Faying Investment For Greenfield

Capitalists.

Saturday at a depth of 1,580 feet the drillers in the Boyd oil well a mile north of Greenfield, struck a strong vein of the famous Blue Lick water which rose to the depth of 800 or 900 feet in the well. Samples of it brought to this city and examined by parties who have been to Martinsville pronounce it superior to that for famed and excellent water. It is blue in color, tastes salty and has a sulphuretted hydrogen smell. The Martinsville mineral wells have proved a big bonanza for that city and there is no reason why Greenfield could not be benefitted to a greater extent, as this city is nearer Indianapolis and the rich northern and central parts of the state. The lay of the land is such that by building a dam or embankment across Brandywine and the adjacent bottom land, a very large artificial lake could be made which would add to the attractiveness of our city as a resort. The Bine lick water can be pumped and piped to any and all parts of our city and furnished with all its health giving properties to those strangers within our gates seeking renewed strength and vigor. With the two new modern and up to date hotels which will be built here soon, there will be ample accommodation for a large number of guests. Greenfield is on the I'apid advance, so let the ball be kept rolling. Among the things to be done to benefit the city is the erection of the two new hotels now in contemplation, arrangements made to secure the benefits of the Bine Lick water and the location and beautifying of a handsome park near the city.

Another Man Talking Nice,About Gr« jnlioM. Joel Pusey, of Greenfield, was transacting business here loday. Mr. Pusey was a former resident of this place, and while he still thinks a great deal of Shelbyville, he declares Greenfield is one of the best towns in the State and getting better every day.—Shelbyville Republican.

Mr. Pusey rode to Shelbyyill yesterday on his wheel.

The third annual reunion of the Fort family will be held August 10th, 1895, on the fair grounds at Knightstown, Ind. All relatives requested to be present.

Now is a splendid time to have your fall and winter suits cleaned up, repaired and pressed, or your summer clothes dyed and pressed for fall wear. Prices reasonable results highly satisfactory. George Justus, dyer and repairer—Gooding Block, over McColes. 21Gt7

Eld. R. W. Thompson and W. M. Coffield left today for Liberty, near which place the White Water Baptist Association will be held for a few days. They will also attend the meetiDg of the division of the "White Water Association which meets near Connersville.

Philander H. Boyd, of the Citizens' Bank, has contracted with C. M. Kirkpatrick and J. M. Wheeler for a wall along the east side of his lots. on East Main street adjacent to the branch. It will be 132 feet long, 9 feet high, 2% feet at the base and 18 inches at the top. It is to be built in the best and most substantial manner. We do not know just what Mr. Boyd intends building there, but understand it is something substantial.

OLD COUNTERFEITERS

B!g Gang Making and Shoving the Qu&er in This State.

TWO ARRESTS AT HAMMOND.

The Authorities on the Scent of Their Plant. Five Thousand Bad Coins Turned Out in a Mouth—Bituminous Miners Benefited.

An Unfortunate Family—Other Indiana State News. HAMMOND, Ind., Aug. 6.—"Pete" Hoffman, one of the most skillful counterfeiters and shovers of the "queer" in northern Indiana, was arrested yesterday by Sheriff Hayes and taken to the county jail at Crown Point.

Chief of Police Malloy soon afterward arrested Jim Louden, another member of the gang, lodging him in the city jail. Louden is said to be a notorious man, and is wanted in Ohio for horsestealing and arson. He has been in this city for nearly two years, and was always well supplied with money.

Hoffman is the man who spirited Chrissie Heath away from home about a month ago, leaving a letter behind saying that she had committed suicide.

The authorities are of tlie opinion that they will find the plant. If so a score of arrests will be made. The product the mint, which is said to be located near this city, are 50-cent and $1 coins. They are well made, and are passed even at the banks. They bear the date of 1S92. It is estimated that 5,000 have been put into circulation within the last 30 days.

COAL MINERS BENEFITTED.

The Victory Won in Pennsylvania lux tends Into Indiana.

BRAZIL, Ind., Aug. 6.—The victory won by the bituminous miners in Pennsylvania is a great benefit to the block coal miners of this district, as the contract between the coal operators and miners stipulates that in case a raise in wages is secured by the miners in Pennsylvania or Ohio, the block miners would be advanced to 70 cents per ton.

Notwithstanding that the block miners and the bituminous miners are separately organized, acting independently of each other, the victory won by the bituminous men will advance the wages of the block coal men 10 cents in this district.

A meeting of bituminous operators has been called for at Terre Haute, at which time it is believed that the operators will agree to post notices that but 51 cents will be paid until Oct. 1, after which time the rate will be 60 cents.

HAND OF FATE.:

It Seems to Have Fallen Very Heavily on This Family. MANCHESTER, Ind., Aug. G.—A terrible accident happened to Doshea Hamlin, living one mile east of town. Her clothing caught fire, and before the flames could be extinguished she was so badly burned that she died in a few hours.

The father died very suddenly of paralysis, one, son suicided years ago and tlie eyes of another were blown out at a jollification meeting six weeks ago.

DEATH OF MRS. TALMAGE. QgH

iShe Was the Wife of the Noted Brooklyn Divine. DANVILLE, N. Y., Aug. 6.—Mrs. T. DeWitt Talmage died here Monday morning.

Since the burning of the Brooklyn tabernacle last year Mrs. Talmage has suffered from nervous prostration, and has never fully recovered from the shock sustained then. The fire broke out while the doctor was holding his usual Sunday reception, and a large number of parishioners and visitors were in the church when the fire broke out. They all made good their escape, but Dr. Taimage went back into the burning edifice for something he had left behind. During his absence Mrs. Talmage, who with, other members of the family was outside awaiting his reappearance, became greatly excited and alai'nied for the doctor's safety.

As soon as she was informed that he was all right she broke down completely, her overwrought nerves being unequal for such a strain. Her doctors suggested a European trip to build up her failing healtu. She was accompanied to Europe by the Misses Maud and Daisy Talmage. While in Rom® she became ill with Roman fever and accompanied by one of her physicians she returned home. While staying at the family's summer residence near East Hampton, L. L, she appeared to improve and her friends had hopes fpr her speedy recovery.

This was not to be, however, as she soon had a relapse of the spells of exhaustion and nervous prostration. The sufferer was removed to the Danville sanitarium about a year ago with Mis'? Daisy Talmage as her coustant companion. While Dr. Talmage was absent on a lecturing tour in the west last week he received a telegram summoning him to his wife's bedside. He at once canceled all his engagements and hastened back to find that there was very lit'. ie hope for the patient's recovery, and he remained with her until the end came.

The deceased was the second wife of Dr. Talmage. His first wife was drowned while boating in 1862, leaving a daughter, Miss Jessie, and a son, who has since died. Within two years afterward the doctor married Miss Susie Whittemore of Brooklyn. She became the mother of five children—Rev. Frank De Witt Talmage, Mrs. Dorm, Mrs. Mangan, Miss Maud and Miss Daisy Talmage.

Dr. Tahnage, his three married daughters, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Mangon and Mrs. Dennan, together with ie family physiciaus, J. E. Richardson and Dr. Gregory, were present when she passed away.

The daughters, Misses Maud and Daisy, had been telegraphed for, but were unable to reach her until 9 o'clock. They were accompanied by their broth-er-in-law, Mr. Smith. The funeral services will be at 2 o'clock Thursday, Aug. 8, in Brooklyn.

VICTORY FOR TH£ UNION.

The Xew York Garment milkers' ,tniv« Practically Over. NF.W YORK, Aug. 6.—The garment workers' strike is practically a victory for the union, although Secretary Witkowski, who, oil Sunday night made a formal surrender in the name of tho contractors' association, was not able to deliver all of tiie goods, and a tew employes are still resisting the workers' demands.

Forty agreements were filed yesterday. This makes a total of 400 contractors, representing 12,000 strikers in New York and vicinity who have accepted the terms of tlie workmen. Leader Sclioenfehl of tlie strikers said: "Over 5,000 of our men have returned to work, and there are now only 200 contractors who have not signed our agreement. They are nearly all associ' ation men and they may hold out two or three weeks. In the meantime tho other contractors will be doing all the work.''

According to official reports, 4,000 coatmakers, employed usually by 200 contractors, were still out on a strike in this city. Secretary Witkowski now denies that he did surrender bunday and the strikers speak bitterly against him.

There was a meeting of tho contractors association yesterday afternoon at which several contractors urged a continuance of the strike. Last night the strikers held a massmecting which was jubilant in the tenor of its speeches,

QUIET AT SPRING VALLEY.

The Jfegroes Are All Out of the Place and Not Likely to Keturn. SPRING VALLEY, Ills., Aug. G.—The situation is very quiet iu this city. The negro women were allowed to pack up their goods and depart •from Location. The 100 negroes run out of tnis city ar» all at Seatonville.

The man Role, who was shot and robbed by colored men Saturday night is still alive, but can nor, live long.

The coal company officials begin to feel alarmed, as a dynamite bomb was found near Manager Dalzell's residence yesterday morning. There is no clew as to who dropped it there, but it is generally believed that it has been there ever since Sunday, when the crowd visited Mr. Dalzell to demand of him the discharge of all negroes.

ffiSp After a Gang of liobbers. SOUTH MCALISTER, I. T., Aug. 6.—

The Christian gang robbed another store near Calvin last night. Marshal McAlester has telegraphed the state department of justice to appoint special deputies to hunt the robbers down. Marshal Rutherford of the northern district has a force of deputies on their way to this place to co-operate with Marshal McAlester's men. The officers are determined to either kill or capture the entire gang.
