ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP M'CABJS.
UNCLE JOHN
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Rob One of Our Old Citizens Last Night—The Parties Said To He Known and Arrests Will
Probably Follow. Murder! Murder! Those were the cries that rent the air in the neighborhood of the depot abour 9 p. m. last night, and they aroused the entire neighborhood, who came running from every direction to ascertain the cause, and they were not long in doing it,
found Uncle John McCabe with
his face badly scratched and the life about scared out of him. Mr McCabe is an old citizen«and property owner, and while he does not, as a rule, carry much money with him, yet had about fifty dollars on his person when he lefs the feed store of Garrett Gilli?pie for home last night. Instead of going home his usual way, down Pennsylvania street to the railroad and then west, he went up Main to Mechanic street and then turned south. After crossing the railroad and near the cooper shop, some one stepped out and grabbed him, and at almost the same instant another stepped up and put his hands over his eyes, when the first man relinquished his hold and began to feel for his pockets, but the old gentleman began to yell murder in tones that could have been heard a mile away, and when the neighbors began to open their doors the thieves took to their heels and ran up Osage street, much to the satisfaction of Uncle John. In the scuffle he received several scratches about the faca, but succeeded in retaining his money.
The parties were seen by several of the neighbors as they ran down the street, who think they recognized them, aod the description given by Uncle John tallies to a dot. In all probabilities arrests will follow, and they should, for there have been several parties held up near this place and the officers have determined to put a stop to it.
CITY COUNCIL.
Very Little Business—Report of the City Board of Health. The Council met in regular session last night in the Council Chamber. Their session was short, as there was nothing of importance transacted outside of the letting of the East Main street sewer. There were three bidders, and the Middletown paving company of Middletown, Ohio was the lowest, and the contract was awarded to said company. Eight inch tile at 47 cents and 10 inch at 49 cents per lineal foot.
After this came a resolution repealing and recinding the action of the Council heretofore taken on the report of the final estimate of the City Civil Engineer on the improvement of East street, Pratt street, Walnut street, Spring street and West North street, and referred each to a committee to meet at the Council Chambsr on the 13th day of January, 1896, to hear grievances and report back to the Council. The public, no doubt, have heard complaint from property holders on the various streets, that they haven't had the opportunity to take under the Barrett law, and this action of the Council will now give them the privilege ot taking under that law if they like. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE CITY
BOARD OF HEALTH.
To the Hon. Mayor and Common Council: Daring the year ending this date there has been reported to this office 76 births, 45 deaths, 45 cases of diphtheria and 75 cases of measles.
Death occurred in 5 cases of typhoid fever, 3 cases of dysentry and 10 cases of diphtheria.
As near as we are able to ascertain by communicating with all of the physicians of the city, there were 40 cases of typhoid fever and 36 cases of dysentry.
The mortality in these two diseases was very small, showing a rather mild form of the disease, while in diphtheria it was very high, excluding doubtful case«, showing a very malignant form of the disease.
Careful inquiry into all the cases of typhoid fever and dysentry elucidates the important fact that not a single case of either disease occurred in families using city water. This demonstrates that our city water is certainly free from contamination arid is absolutely pure. Many of our physicians assert that from their observations they are satisfied that our water is not only pure and wholesome, but contains medical properties, curative in stomach aud bowel troubles, such as indigestion, dyspepsia aud constipation.
If this Council deserves credit for their unselfish donation to the interests of the city of Greenfield, the city water works stands as a monument to your good judgment—a mark of wisdom which each should ,feel justly proud of, for man's efforts can be put to no better or nobler use than that of saving the life, health and property of his fellow men.
At present our city is free from any
U'

contagious or infectious disease and Is in a fairly sanitary condition. The Board hopes by spring, to be able to condemn all premises on whiskey alley and put this thoroughfare in unobjectionable condition!
We also hope to be able to condemn all hog pens within limits of our thickest population.
We would recommend that steps be taken by the council to prohibit any farther contamination of the branch by parties emptying sewerage therein.

The Christmas entertainment to be given by the Sunday school at the Christian church here will be held on Christmas night, Dec. 21.
Ruby, a little daughter of Mr. Jesse Collins, is very sick with scarlet fever. Mr. and Mrs. Heaton, Mr. W 1J Ham and Miss Gertrude Houston, all of Markleville, were guests of the former's daughter, Mrs. Harvey Blakely Sunday last.
A finer and more extensive stock of Christmas goods has never been owned in this place than at the present time, by W. I. Garriott and D. M. Maroney. Persons who have plenty of money to spand for presents, should give these gentlemen a call.
Miss Clara Priddy, of Spring Valley, was entertained by Miss Lora Lee the first of the week.
W. T. Orr, who is attending school at Terre Haute, is expected home the last of the week to spend hollidays. Also Miss Fanny McCray, of Bloomington, and Mr. Porter Cook from Earlham College.
Our schools close next Friday for one week of vacation. Sunday being the sixty-ninth birthday of Mrs. Elizabeth Trees, a number of friends met at her home, while she and her husband were at church, and prepared an excellent dinner. Mrs. Trees was greatly surprised on her return to find dinner and a host of friends and relatives awaiting to welcome her. Everyone present enjoyed the event hugely and left late in the evening wishing her many more such happy birthdays.
Littell's Living Age for 1896, The announcement of a reduction in the price of this famous eclectic from $8 to $6a year will prove of more than, usual interest to lovers of choice literature. Founded in 1844, it will soon enter its 53rd year of a continuous and successful career seldom equalled.
This standard weekly is the oldest, as it is the best concentration of choice literature printed in this country. Those who desire a thorough conpendium of all that is admirable and noteworthy in the literary world will be spared the trouble of wading through a sea of reviews and magazines published abroad for they will find the essence of all compacted and concentrated here.
To those whose means are limited it must meet with especial favor, for it offers them what could not otherwise be obtained except by a large outlay. Intelligent readers who want to save time and money will find it invaluable.
The prospectus, printed in another column, should be examined by all in selecting their periodicals for the new year. For the amount and quality of the reading furnished, the new price* makes the Living Age the cheapest as well as the best literary weekly in existence. Reduced clubbing rates with other periodicals offer still greater inducements, and to new subscribers remitting now for the year 1896, the interrening lumbers of 1895 will be sent gratis. Littiell& Co., Boston, are the publishers.

Streetcars at a Standstill in Philadelphia.
THE SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Both Sides Determined and No Jm::n'diate Prospects of a Settlement To'i'-e a reTent Serious Rioting, Altliuu^! ii I t-w
Outbreaks Took Place Grave Fears of Trouble in the Near Future. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19.—The second day of the traction strike ended with eveiy wheel yet at a standstill. Excitement was at a pitch all day but the formidable police arrangements prevented any serious outbreaks. The calm was not natural and more violence is expected at any moment. A few ears were run yesterday over branch lines, guarded at all points by armed policemen. In many instances they carried their revolvers drawn. The mobs wore no smaller, but they respected the gleaming steel. Some few attempts to stone cars were made but they had no grave results. Trouble will surely come the moment an effort is made to operate the cars without this heavy guard. This is the universal opinion.
Rumors are plentiful, both as to trouble ahead aud as to speedy settlement of the contest, but, at present both sides appear to be firmer than ever. The strikers declare that they are gaining recruits every hour. It is asserted that a prominent lawyer is making overtures to both sides iookinsr to a settlement by arbitration through a committee to be appointed by a high city official. Nothing confirmatory or contradictory to this can be learned.
A number of arrests were made yesterday on charges of inciting to riot. Nearly all the prisoners were held in bail. Several men were knocked down and injured in minor outbreaks and they are in the hospitals. One, John McCleerney, who was struck on the head by a stone during a riot at the Eighth aud Dauphin street depot, has concussion of the brain. and may die. Michael Brennan, a nonstriker, is in prison without bail awaiting the result of McCIeerney's injuries. He is charged with throwing the stone.
At noon a mailcar was started from the Ridge avenue depot with a new motorman, a now conductor and full complement of clerks. The depot was surrounded by a mob of 2.000 or 3,000 people, but they allowed the car to get about a block av^v. Then led by the wife of the new itormau, an assault was made on the car and the won.au herself dragged lier husband from the platform. The outbreak was only quelled by the arrival of a regular car loaded with policemen. This was attached to the roar of the mailcar and Uncle Sam's vehicle was pushed around the route.
A Fifth and Si: tli street car was attacked downtown a crowd of such magnitude that the police were temporarily overwhelmed. A number of the rioters boarded the front platform and rained blow after blow on the motorman, who was only saved from further danger by the arrival of an additional detachment of police.
What threatened to be a serious affray occurred at Twelfth and Market streets yesterday afternoon. An immense crowd was congregated there which the police attempted to disperse. Several men tried to entice the mob to violence and an effort was made to arrest one of these leaders. Instantly the larger portion of the crowd became unruly and made an unorganized charge on the police. The aspect of affairs grew so threatening that several of the mounted officers were compelled to fire several shots into the air. This put a sudden end to the uprising, but it led to many sensational reports of strikers being shot down.
ACCIDENT ON A STEAMER.
Five .Men scalded to Death and i.ve (Miters B:ul!y Injured. NEW YORK, Dec. 1!).—.By the bursting of a steam valve on board the American line steamer St. Paul at Pi or 14, North river, early yesterday morning, five men were scalded to death and five others were so badly scalded that they had to be taken to the hospital.
The St. Paul was to have sailed at 11 o'clock for Southampton, but her departure will be delayed by the accident.
The dead are: James Eawns, second assistant engineer.
William Manning, fourth assistant engineer. Robert Campbell, machinist.
Daniel McCallion, a machinist's helper. Following is the list of injured who were removed to the Hudson street hospital:
Robert Wilson, 35 years old, machinist, native of Scotland scalded in face, neck, arms and legs.
Frank Vesper, third assistant engineer, 29 years old, of Roxbury, Mass., scalded about face and hands.
Andrew Hearn, 45 years old, of Woolson, England, storekeeper, scalded all over body.
Adolph Falker, 28 years old, of this city, cleaner, scalded on hands, legs, arms and neck.
Durham, machinist, scalded on body. The accident is believed to have been due to a flaw in the pipe.
Death of Henry A. D. Ward. MIDDLETOWN, Conn., Dec. 19.—Henry A. D. Ward, a lineal descendant of General Artemus Ward, is dead. He was a graduate of Yale, class of 1842, and of the Harvard law school. He formerly lived in Detroit, where he was engaged in lake navigation, owning many vessels. He returned to Connecticut in 1864, and since then has been engaged in literary work. He was first lieutenant of the Mansfield guard, and of late was weather observer of the United States government. He was 74 years old and unmarried.
Must Serve liis Time.
HARRISBURG, Dec. 19.—The board of pardons after carefully considering the application for a pardon for John Bardsley, ex-city treasurer of Philadelphia, decided last night to refuse the application and Bardsley will therefore have* to serve out his term. Robert Alexander, ex-Attorney General Hensel and Representative John F. Fow made strong pleas for Bardsley's pardon on the ground that he had been sufficiently punished.

CONQUEST Of the NORTHWEST
*^Nos. 2, 3 and 4.
Hon. Wm. K. English, of Indianapolis Is certainly deserving of the highest coran mendation for his action in withdrawing:: from public life several years ago in ordefr to devote himself to the task of writing history of Indiana, the introduction OS which is now appearing In two volume® under the title of "COITOUEST OP THi9 NORTHWEST. He Is a millionaire and it is therefore unreasonable to sup: poae that his work along historical linefc was animated by any spirit of selflshnessp or sordidness. No other man is so well equipped, for the 'task he self-imposed. Ha has been a conspicuous figure in Indiana almost continuously since it was admitted to Statehood. He was secretary of the Constitutional Convention, and hispersonality Is strongly marked in the organic law as well as In much of subse-% quent legislation. His great wealth ha9 afforded him opportunities for devoting his entire att«ntion to literary labor. Hi9 intimacy with public men and State andjr| Federal officials, has given him exception.-^ al facilities for gaining access to documents necessary to insure thoroughness and exactness in the preparation of his history. After several years of ardent devotion and labor, undertaken in a spirie of State nride and for pure love or it, the publication of "THE CONQUEST OF THE NORTHWEST" will cause him to, be kindly remembered as an Indlanian whose motives have been often misconstrued, and whose real worth as a man and citizen has been often Ignored by unreasonable political bias ajid human naj ture's Inherent prejudice against men OS Immense wealth.—Lafayette Courier.
