IMPROVEMENTS AT

...

GREENFIELD.

OUR REPUTATION GBOWIst ABROAD

Greenfield is Now Getting Kindly Words Fram Every Body.

Indianapolis Journal. In speakicg o! State improvements, Mr. L. H. Gibson, architect, said yessjrday: "Our pride in local improvement is specific. It grows out of good buildings, well-made and clean streets. Our State pride is aDt to be general. It attaches i' self to no particular thing. The cif zens of Indianapolis do not know what is going on aroutd hem. Towns ]ike Muncie, Anderson, Marion and Kokomo speak with aloud voice, but the •-.nailer cities, like Greenfield, Lebanon. IViitrtiEsville and others of this size are not so well known aud appreciated by ur citizens as those of otner localities. TLtj spirit of improvement is a part of the communities. The city the closest to us which is doing the most in this way is Greenfield. That cir.y has a wide-rwake M*yor and a city legislature which is full of the right gpu-it.and backbone. The external evidence of.this is visible even to the casual visitor. One who sees that city frequently is astonished at the irnf.rovemeiats that are being made in its sireei:.- and sidewalks. Even brick and asphalt are now in contemplation. I believe that it is fair to say that Greenfield will spend more money for buildings per capita than any city iu the S^ate. They ajv now constructing a Masonic temp'e building with rough stone front" on two streets, ar, a cost exceeding §30,000, and .stone school buiklmg representing about h,-? same expenditure. Two new church e-, a city building and a large number of commercial and resident structures are being built. Greenfield owns its own water works plants, and the best municipal methods are familiar to a large number of its citizens. It is unfortunate that a larger number o£ our citizens ave not more famiHar with the spir.il of improve nu-lit which dominates a large number of tin-* cities and towns of our State."

We are obliged to Jfr. G'ibsou for his kind words and trust that all our citizens appreciate the reputation that Greenfield lias and is now acquiring, and will do all in their power not only to sustain our present reputation, but to increase it. Ttiis can be done by each man doing his best in his own business and keeping his own property in the best possible contrition.

H. C. Josiyn, wife aud daughter, of Jonesville, Lee county, Va., are here visiting the family of Wm. Milburn, south of the city. Mr. J., a Massachusetts man, went with Burnsides to Virginia during the war, and remaining after the war, married a cousin of Mr. Milburn, and has resided there siuce. Theyare much pleased with our couutrv.

Greenfield will not have so large a delegation of College boys this year as la«t. Edgar Binford left Sunday night for Bloomingtan and will attend the State University again this year. John Wilson will teach in Green Tp. Robt. Martin will read law with his father, and Clare Duncan will also probably read law. Charley Wills will remain out this year and next year go to Purdue University.

I do not have to run a wagon all ovdr Hancock county to get to sell two or three more loaves of bread than other bakers. I take the expense of running a wagon and put it in my bread. Therefore if you want five cents worth of bread come to me and you will get it, the best and largest, ready for inspection any time. Harry Regula—between Thayer and Tollen's meat markets.

The Duncan Family Reunion. Sunday the children and grandchildren of the lat8 Washington Duncan and wife assembled at the old home place, about four miles northwest of Greenfield, aud held a family reunion. The place is now occupied by his son-in-law and daughter, W. W. Piles and wife. Mr. Duncan was one of Hancock county's foremost citizens. He owned over 1,400 acres of land and was a large and successful buyer and shipper of hogs and cattle. Few men had more business push than Washington Duncan. He w? born in Virginia, but come to Rush county when two years old and whci a young man married his wife, Lucinda Sargeant, of Rush county, and came to this county in 1837, settling on the farm now owned by T. E. Bentley in Brandy wine township. Dec. 28, 1855, tbey moved to the farm where the reunion was held yesterday, and lived there until they died. There were present yesterday the eight children, JohnT., George W., David L., Marshall'T. and James M. Duncan, Mrs. Wm. Piles, Mrs. M. H. Smith, Mrs. Elmer E. Gant, with their wives, husbands, children, s.as-in-law, grandchildren and other relatives to the number of 68. A most bountiful and elegant dinner was SQread, which was enjoyed to the utmost. A rail fence was built to make it look as much as possible like the old home place, and then the eight children had their pictures taken. After that the entire group was taken by Cuyler, the photographer. The editor of the REPUBLICAN and family drove in about this time and assisted in disposing of a fine lot of watermelons in proper style. All were loud in their praise of the happy time they had, and next year want to have a reunion which willinclude all the Duucan families in the county. May they livn long and prosper.

WAR AGAINST MORMONS.

An Indiana Neighborhood Aroused Over Secret Meetings of Latter Day Saints, HOLTOX, Ind., Sept. 10.—The Mormons are again causing trouble in the neighborhood of Pleasant Ridge schoolhouse. Tliey have organized themselves iuto a determined body and are balding sccret meetings. Some five yllar.s ago this same band raised a disturbance near NfcW Marion, this state, but were suppressed by the citizens.

They have remained quiet since then, however, until one week ago, when they were noticed in a schoolhouse by a farajev. Not knowing anything in. regard to their meeting, lie crept up to a window unobserved aud watched them. He reported this to the people of the surrounding country, and a meeting was called Wednesday afternoon. The organization is growing among the Mormons, and they are very reticent, refusing to answer any questions and retraining close to their respective ponies until after nightfall. The neighborhood is aroused and trouble is expected.

It appears the trouble originated over church alia: rs, and that the Mormons are determined to stand by their doctrine regardless of their neighbors, who vow that they shall not hold any secret meetings, and must not meet as a body in that section of the country. The I^ormons area very strong body, numbering several hundred. It was reported by good authority that they have regular officers, and a set of rules which each member must obey.

MORA CLAIM PAID.

Enil of a National Dispute of Tv.*enty-Six Years' Standing. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—An international dispute of 26 years' standing was ended at noon Saturday when Senor De Lome, the Spanish minister, delivered to Mr. Adee, acting secretary of state, a draft to the equivalent of $1,449,000 drawn on the Spanish financial agent in London in settlement of the Mora claim. The claim is for damage done to Mora's property in Cuba during one of the numerous revolutions there. Lawyers' fees have swallowed up the greater part of the amount, but the claimant, it is said, will get $600,000 for himself.

Having settled the international feature of the case, the state department is now likely to encounter some difficulty at home in disbursing the money. Much litigation is threatened, as was evidenced by the taking out of an injunction by one of the assignees last Friday to restrain the state department from paying over all of the money to the claimant, Mora.

During the years of the pendency of this great claim Mora has been obliged Co make assignments of part of it, the larger items being on accoant of legal expenses.

To insure a proper distribution, the department will give official notice by the usual channels, so that proper claims may be presented, and as this will necessarily consume some time, there will be no haste in closi ug up the claim.

ASHES FELL FROM. THE SKY.

Shower of Charred Remnants of Pine Leaves That Fell at Clifton, O. -SPRINGFIELD, O., Sept. 1G.—Residents of Clifton report a phenomenal shower Of ashes which fell from the sky in the morning between 8 ami 9 o'clock. The ashes fell as thick as snowflakes, and, to add to the interesting nature of the phenomenon, among the ashes were the remnants of leaves entirely burned, but yet of sufficient consistency to hold together.

As these had evidently been pine leaves, there remains little doubt in the minds of those wrhoobserved the strange sight that the shower of ashes had been oarried from the Wisconsin pinery ftres, which have been raging for some time past.

The phenomenal fall of ashes aud partially burned leaves in Clifton aud Vicinity is the talk of the neighborhood. Nearly every one in the locality is reading up to itlnd accounts of similar occurrences. Many of the residents have gathered some of the remnants of the queer shower and will preserve them.

Of course, they are highly treasured. •Vuother reason to lead the people to believe that the shower came from Wisconsin somewhere is that the wind was from that direction, it is likely that accounts of the phenomenon will find their way into the scientific periodicals. History is replete with instances whe»e ashes have, during a volcanic erugtiop, been carried hundreds of miles.

CHINA ACTS DEFIAST

Missionary Murderers to Go Unpunished.

THE COMMISSION WORK STOPPED.

Without the Presence of a Foreign Fleet ... of War Vessels No Punishment For tho Massacre Is Probable—tho Vegetarions

Preparing For Another Massacre of

Christians.

NEW'YORK, Sept. 16.—A World cable from Foo-Chow, China, says: The Chinese refuse to execute a single murderer implicated in the massacre of missionaries unless they are assured that with the execution of the men accused all other demands shall cease.

The work of the British and American joint commission is therefore stopped.

Without the presence of a foreign fleet no punishment for the massacre is probable.

The Vegetarians are relying on official sympathy to begin again seizing and torturing Christians.

,Only Life For Life.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 16.—The Chine officials at Ku-Clieng are proving obstinate over the results in the inquiries of the outrages upon missionaries, and are unwilling to sentence the guilty. They offer one life for eacii European who was killed, and no more.

STORM A*T CHICAGO."

Probably Two Persons Drowneil While Others Had Narrow Escapes. CHICAGO, Sept.. 16.—With little or no warning a terrific wind and rainstorm struck this city at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon and for more than an hour numerous small crafts that had been caught some distance in the lake were in danger of capsizing. The yacht "Jag," with a party on board, was caught off Hyde Park, and as darkness settled over the lake soon afterward, it was reported that she had been lost with all on board. At a late hour, however, the yacht ran in at South Chicago, having run before the wind to that point under bare poles.

Shortly before 7 o'clock the Evaston lifesavihg station crew were notified that two men in a small boat which appeared to be unmanageable had been sighted off the Evaston shore. The crew manned the surf boat and went out, but when they arrived at the point wrhere the boat had been last seen, it had disappeared. It is the belief of the lifesavers that the two occupants of the boat lost their lives, as it was said that no small boat, and especially one in an unmanageable condition, could* live in the sea that was running.

Rain came down in torrents for more than an hour, and the storm was accompanied by a brilliant electrical display. Four or five houses were struck by lightning, but no fatilities were reported. At South Chicago one woman was rendered unconscious, but was retored after a short time.

WALLER'S CAUSE NOT LOST.

State Department at Washington Discredits Parisian News. WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.—-State department officials know nothing of the information respecting the Waller case, professed to have been obtained by the Siecle of Paris, and can not understand the basis for the claim that Waller's cause ''has been erretritevably lost."

They attach no importance to the alleged news. The record and proceedings of the courtmartial are not due in France until about the end of the month, according to statements made by the French ministry for foreign affairs to Ambassador Eustis, and if it be true that they are in Paris it is said that the French ministry will find some embarrassment in explaining its statement given out that they would not be for more than a week yet, the steamer supposed to be bearing them having reached Aden, on the Red sea, Sept. 12.

Adjudged Insane.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 16.—Mrs. Elizabeth Williams, who bufechered her two children at the Park hotel last April, was adjudged insane Saturday and will be placed in the Columbus state hospital. The certificate upon which the finding was made was signed by Superintendent A. B. Richardson of the Columbus state hospital, Superintendent H. A. Tobev of the Toledo state hospital and Dr. Orpheus Everts of College Hill sanitarium, Cincinnati.

Stabbed to the Heart.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 16.—Harri-• son Ware, colored, killed his stepfather, Albert Williamson, at the Lapr^cie place, five miles from town, about *12 o'clock Friday night, after which he came to town and surrendered himself to the authorities. Williamson was severely beating his wife, who was Ware's invalid mother. Ware came up and drove a knife blade into Williamson's heart.

Powder Works Explode.

NEW YORK. Sept. 16.—An explosion occurred Saturrh'y at the Atlas smokeless powder work.3 at Bay Chester, seriously injuring Frank Widner, 25 years old Mary. Searing, 14 years old Mason E. Leonard. The Searing girl can.not live. The explosion was caused by overheated machinery.

Ke.cruitg For Cuba.

HAVANA, Sept. 16.—The steamer Colon has arrived here, having on board the Roy battalion, consisting of 57 officers and a thousand men commanded by General Madan. The reception accorded them was enthusiastic as has been that of all troops arriving from Spain.. -r'

Quarreled About a Uog.

SPRINGFIELD, O., Sept. 16.—Gilbert Johnson, colored, shot Richard Walter through the heart yesterday at Clifton killing him instantly. They quarreled over a dog. Johnson was shot in the stomach, but not seriously injured.
