TUESDAY, DEC. 24, 1895.

THE REPUBLICAN wishes all its readers a merry Christmas. It is a day for feasting, rejoicing and merry making and may all enjoy it abundantly.

WE present an elegant Christmas page today. There are pictures for the little folks, a -poem by Will Carleton and a story by James L. Ford botji illustrated for all.

No official act of President Cleveland has met with such universal approval as his message to Congress on the Venezuela controversy. It is hinted that he was inspired to write the message by the hope of a third term. Whether such is the case or not, this much is true, it is better to secure political popularity by patriotic acts and declarations than otherwise.

IF the city of Greenfield is in debt, it has improvements to show for the expenditure of its money. Its improvements have been good and they have been made at as little cost as similar improvements in any ot our neighboring cities and in some ca?es at much less. Here is another point that should be kept ever before our citizens, not with standing all the improvements that have been made in the last two years and the machinery and apparatns that has been purchased there has not been a suspicion of a ''job" in any of it. In all the abuse that has been heaped upon our councilmen, no one has dared to attribute to a single councilman a corrupt act. We are not able to say that the council has never made a mistake, for who does not make one occasionally^ but we do say that their motives have been honest and that tney have done in an official way what they thought was best for the city. They may each look upon the advancement of Greenfield during their term. of. office with piide.

The Straight Tip company* which appears at the Opera House Christmas eve, played to a $280 house in.

He lived at Milner's Corner, this county, and leaves a wife and children. The exploeion was caused by tying the steam escape down and raising the steam too high.

Tlie Watterson Lecture.

Hon. Henry Watterson, of Louisville, lectured at the opera house last night to a fine audience. His subject was Abraham Lincoln. It was a great theme and a great lecture. Mr. Watterson ranks as one of the ablest writers and lecturers in America and all were highly delighted with his splendid portrayal of the life and character of America's greatest statesman.

THE PAN-DANDLE CO. SKCUttES THE WRAY LAND.

A Long Pending Deal at Last Brought to a Close—Seven New Switches to Be Built —Addition to the Freight Depot.

For the past few years the Pan-Handle company have been on a dicker for the Wray tract of land just west of the freight depot, containing three acres, but there has always been something in the way. until yesterday, when the compuny paid them $1,500 for the above ground.

It is the intention of the Pan-Handle people to put in a regular freight yard at this place, and according to our informant, they will not only arrange for seven separate tracks, but will build an addition to the freight depot, and employ a regular freight agent, as the business at this point has grown to such an extent that it is impossible for one man to act in the capacity of both a freight and ticket agent.

The Pan-Handle people consider Greenfield the best point between Indianapolis and Richmond, and ara making every possible arrangement to accommodate their patrons, both in the way of passenger and freight accommodations.

A# the O^era House Chrisimas eve/Murray & Lohmants Comedians will appear in the farcial satire, "A Straight Tip," one of the funniest farce comedies before the public. The management ha3 aimed at the Highest pinnacle of amusement, and believe they have succeeded in peaching this end. "A Straight Tip" is certainly a laugh-maker, and Mr. Pur cell and McRobie are indeed funny comedians also may be mentioned Miss Kathlyn Davenport, the the Adair Sisters, Maude Hazlett, and Mazette, the sensational Spanish dancer new songs, dances, specialties, and an even "longer and better stock of what are called local hits. One can say, and.be reasonably safe, that it surpasses any farce comedy seen here for years. Admlssion'35 and 50 cents.

Rev. John Helm, who lives east of the the city, and has charge of the Frankfort circuit, one of the best circuits in the Indiana conference of the M. P. church, is home this week spending a few days with his family and solemnizing a number of marriages. Rev. Heim reports that he has three churches scattered around Frankfort. The churches are all in a healthy condition. At Farmer's Chapel, near Colfax, they are just completing a fine brick house with modern improvements, costing $2,000. At Hopewell they have one of the finest houses in the county out of the city of Frankfort. The circuit furnishes «, good parsonage in Frankfort and pays $500 a year. Rev. Heim wishes to say if liis friends need hiin for funerals or marriages, leave word at the old home with his family.

The Historic Route.

The Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway, the model railroad of the Sou^h in equipment, roadway and service is also the greatest in historical interest, more than fifty famous battlefields and five national cemeteries being located on the various lines of this system. This is the preferred route to Atlanta for the Cotton State and International exposition, open from September 18, to December 31,1895, for which very low excursion rates have been made. Through sleeping car service from St. Louis to Atlanta via Evansville, Nashville and Chattanooga. This is the route of the famous "Dixie Flyer" through sleeping car line which runs the year round between Nashville and Jacksonville, Fla. For further information address R. C. Cowardin, Western Passenger Agent, Railway Exchange Building, St. Louis, Missouri, or

Lake Steamer Launched.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 24.—The steel steamer W. D. Rees, building for the Wilson Transit company, was successfully launched at the yard of the Cleveland Shipbuilding company. The Rees, which is up to date the largest vessel ever launched at a local yard, will be completed and ready for business at the opening of navigation next spring. She is a freighter and will carry ore, grain and coal between Lake Superior and Lake Erie ports. The new boat is 413 feet long over all, 45 feet beam and 28 feet deep.

His First Day of Freedom.

ATLANTA, Dec. 24.—Trone Wilson, an aged negro convict, who was pardoned from the Georgia penitentiary by Governor Atkinson yesterday, is probably the last slave to receive the benefits of President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. Trone was in jail in Liberty county as accessory to a murder when the negroes were set free. He was afterward sent to the penitentiary, where he has remained until yesterday, when he was released and enjoyed the first breath of free air he has ever known.

Lynching Frustrated.

GLASGOW, Ky.,Dec. 24.—A desperate, but futile attempt was made yesterday to lynch Booker Steinbergen charged with killing his cousin Anna Belle Steinbergen, whom he had ruined. The body had planned to attack the jail last night, and the sheriff being unarmed, rushed the prisoner to the depot in a closed carriage. The mob learned of the transfer a few minutes later and stormed the train, but the the engineer out pulled and Steinbergen was landed safely in Bowling Green. s— "The Sleepless Man."

ELWOOD, Ind., Dec. 24.—David Jones, "the sleepless man." as he is called here, has been suffering another attack of sleeplessness the past month or so, and, it is said, has not slept a wink for 30 days. Two years ago he went 93 days and last year he went 131 days without sleep, and apparently did not suffer very much discomfort. He may break his former record this time, as he has gotten pretty well used to doing without sleep. He is 65 years old, and a wealthy farmer.

Jailbird Soon Caught.

PIQUA, O., Dec. 24.—John Curley, a negro being held on the charge of burglary and petit larceny, effected his delivery from jail yesterday morning and escaped. The discovery was made at once and the entire police force detailed on the search. After an hour and a half had been consumed Offieer Paulding found him secreted in a barn a half mile from the jail. Before leaving Curley had closed the jail doer and fastened it with a lock.
