THE FAIR IS OVER-

IT CAME OUT ALLI RIGHT FINANCIALLY, PAYING PKEMIDMS IN FULL AND LEAVING A SMALL

MARGIN.

When it was learned that the majority of Indiana Fairs were not making a success it was feared that the Greenfield Fair might not pay out, but it did. Thursday and Friday were both big day?. The receipts at the gate amounted to about $8,200, which, together with the other receipts, swells the amount beyond the expense line. While not making as much as in former years, the association did very well.

The racing yesterday was first-class, as the contests were close and all drove to win, there being a hot contest in the home stretch every time. The race summaries are as follows: 2.30 pace. Easter Ill l'riuce Alert 1 4 6 5 Lizzie

The time here was better tham at any other county fair in the state yesterday. The Greenfield horses came out all right. Easter, who took the 2:30 pace, belonged to Henry Fry, and Greenfield Girl, the winner of the 2:30 trot, belonging to Sheriff W. H. Pauley and Auditor Lawrence Boring.

The mule race, for which H. B. Thayer, the enterprising proprietor of the Spot Cash Store, put up $52.50 in premiums, was the most laughable and entertaining event of the whole fair. There was fully $500 worth of fun. It w£s lkughable and interesting because no one could tell who would win. When a leading mule took a spell of bucking his name was Dennis*, and about all the mules bucked. The winners were as follows: Fannie, Roy Trees, first,, Winchester Gun, $25 Charley, Yes Kirk, second, No. 8. Cook Stove, §15 Black Jack, W. A.

SYRACUSE, Ind., Aug. 31.—Miss Nettie Vannecta, aged 20, of Lima, O., and Bert Sargent of Tiffin, O., aged 19, were drowned in Wawasee lake, at Black Stump Point, while bathing yesterday afternoon.

In her fright she grasped him and both went down.

Mysterious Shooting.

BLUFFTON, Ind., Aug. 31.—Joseph Harrington, a well known resident of Elkhart, -was mysteriously shot and killed, and Mable Moore received a flesh wound in the Indiana House yesterday morning. The woman was the mistress of the house and claims that burglars did the shooting after stealing $500 in money and jewelry valued at the same amount. Harrington and the woman had been quarreling during the night, and owing to this fact the latter was arrested on the charge of murder.

New Wimlowglass Combine.

ANDERSON, Ind., Aug. 81.—The new Indiana windowglass combine, the enlargement of the old, embracing

com

panies to the entire 31, was effected at Muncie and officers elected. J. O. Sayre of Marion, president T. H. Johnson of Dunkirk, vice president Stephen Wood bridge of Redkey, secretary B. Smith of Hartford City, treasurer Matler of Marion, Rankin of Gas City, Smith of Suinwiittville and Vandeventer of Anderson, executive committee.

Decree of Foreclosure.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 31.—A decree of foreclosure was entered in the circuit court of the United States yesterday by Judge Woods, in the consolidated case of Trenor Luther Park and the Farmers' Loan and Trust company against the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad company. The plaintiffs show that there is due and unpaid about $8,800*000 in interest, besides other debts. The road is to be sold at auction at Ramapo, N. Y.

Fatal Stabbing Affray.

NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Aug. 31.—A report readied this city late last night of a fatal stabbing affray at Cicero, a small town six miles north ot here. The details are meager, but it is kuown that at a picnic of 300 glassblowers a free-for-all fight occurred and more than a dozen men were stabbed. Some of them it is feared, fatally one of the injured was stabbed 15 times.

Unconstitutional laiv.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 31.—The supreme court yesterday afternoon declared the law passed by the last legislature changing utlie

time of electing county

superintendents to be unconstitutional. Had the law not been knocked out 75 Republican superintendents would have been eieoteu today instead of the Democrats who now hold office for two years.

Oil Flowing Down the Kiver.

WABASH, Ind., Aug. 31.—The creeks in the northeastern part of Grant county are dried up, and parties from that locality state that much of the waste oil from numerous wells in that part of the field has found its way to the creek beds and is flowing through them.

Young Girl Crippled For Life.

ELWOOD, Ind., Aug. 31.—During a storm Lillie Douglass attempted to close a glass door and shoved her arm through the glass, cutting it frightfully, severing the radial artery and nerve cord and the two principal tendons of the wrist, which will cripple her for life.

NO CAUSE FOR ACT,ON.

The State Department Not Advised of the American Imprisoned in Germany.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—The state department is entirely without information as to the lejjorted arrest in Germany of H. M. Romberg of Decatur, Ind. Acting Secretary Adee said yesterday that the proceedings in a case like Romberg's usually consume from three to six weeks. It is not doubted that Consul Henry Robertson, at Hamburg, would act promptly for the protection of the rights of any American citizen.

It is questionable whether, if the facts are as represented from Indiana, the case is one in which the United States government can interfere to any greater extent than to make inquiry to assure itself that the proceedings against Mr. Romberg has been within the lines of cur treaty with Germany. This treaty explicitly provides that natives of Germany shall be absolved from crimes committed in that country by becoming naturalized Americans.

Jioy liurglura.

PORTSMOUTH, O., Aug. 31.—For some time petty thievery has been going on in this city, the police being unable to locate the offenders until Thursday night, when the gang was discovered. It proved to be a set of boys who are as skilled as any professional. They usually made entrance through cellar gratings, cutting their way to the plunder. Considerable stolen property was recovered.

Senatorial Convention.

GREENVILLE,

O., Aug. 31.—The Re

publican senatorial Amveution, composed of the counties of Darke, Miami and Shelby, met in this city yesterday and renominated Senator MoPherson Brown by acclamation. Messers. C. B. Calderwood of Darke, C. B. Jamison of Miami and E. Wilber of Shelbywere appointed the committee to conduct the campaigu.
