The much agitated the stringing of an high- tension w:re tracks of the Pennsylvania railway, between Dublin and Cambridge City, has been settled to the full satisfaction of the companies. The Interurban Co. has agreed to build two "joists" thirty-five feet high on either side of the track from which the wire carrying 16,000 volts will be strung. Under the wire a grating will connect both posts and protect the trains of the Pennsylvania Co. from damage in the event that the wire should break at a point over the Pennsylvania right of way. The "posts" will be built of iron in the style of a light tower.

While the agreement has been ratified by both companies, still Pennsylvania architects are on the ground to see that the Wire is not strung across the tracks until the posts are in position. The work will be done as soon as the posts can be made.

IN SUNNY OCTOBER

When the Trees Dress iu Scarlet and Gold.

Elmer Binford, the gentlemanly attorney, popular social factor and successful business man of our city, is preparing to cast aside the loneliness of single life and take unto him self a wife and companion to cheer the slowly stealing hours during which he must sit about the harthstone with the chosen one of his life.

The fortunate young lady who will be the exclusive goddess who rules over the affections of our amiable young friend is Miss Grace Kane, of Nobles ville, a young lady as beautiful as the houris and as wise as Zobede—a young lady who is known, respected and loved by a large circle of friends of all ages and conditions aud of both sexes, a young lady of whom Noblesville is and ever has been justly proud and to part with whom, a sincere sense of regret is felt.

But such things will ever be. 'Tis the joys the most prized that are fleetest, and that soonest creep out from the heart, as perfumes that are richest and sweetest are the earliest ones to depart. Tints that of all are the rarest, fade as upon them we gaze. And the hours that are brightest and fairest soon are hid in the lost yesterdays.

After October 24 the hours that are hid in the lost yesterdays to Noblesville, will shine forth in sunny splendor and beauty in, Greenfield. The flower that bloomed in celestial beauty beside the murmuring ripples of classic old White river will shed its sweetest fragrance "Up and Down Old Brandywine," and the joys our neighbors on the northwest have so much prized will have flown away to shed their hallowed influence upon the lives and hearts of those in this city, who anxiously await their coming in the person of Mrs. Elmer Binford, to be.

The great loss to Noblesville will be the equal gain to us, for "The old farm gate will open wide, to welcome home the new made bride."

There Will Be Work

Laurel Temple No. 21 of the Rathbone Sisters of this city will meet in regular session next Thursday night. This meeting will be of more than ordinary intetest because of the fact that there will be seven candidates to be taken in whose names are as follows: Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Glascock, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Wickard, Adrian Hall Joe Readle and John Martin, the manager of the Adams Express Company.

Judge Felt and family will begin to move into ms residence on Grant street some time the latter part of this week. Quite extensive improvements are being made on the house and when finished, it will be one of the finest in that localiry.

Luther Stevens of Ell wood was in the city Sunday the guest of friends and relatives.

WILL BE TRIED. mM. mm

Patrolman Christ For Shooting Edward Cory.

ism

ItT] will be remembered that not long since a policeman named Christ shot and killed a man named Cory. It was thought: after a time that Christ would not be prosecuted, bnt the following from the Indianapolis Sunday Star would seem to indicate otherwise.

The Christ case was presented lo the September Grand Jury, and until another imporI tint affair distracted its attention it had been given the jury's consideration. Among the witnesses who testified were seven or eight police officers and officials, and since but two other than Christ were present when the tr.igedy was enacted, the" belief grew that the police and the administration were making a strong effort to aid Christ in^ every possible ay,, hoping that no indictment would be returned. ,5

Q-'ie member of the police force approached Prosecutor Benedict and intimated that if the Grand Jury's action in the Christ case was iu the nature of an indictment it was possible for the police officials to refuse to co-operate with the Prosecutor, thereby curtailing his fees. Prosecutor Benedict's reply was that he would do his duty without regard to any possible action of that nature by the police.

With the filing of the affidavit directly in the Criminal Court Christ will bs arraigned and brought to trial as soon as possible. The Grand jury investigation will be dropped, as the affidavit accomplishes the same end as though an indictment had been returned.

Henry E. Span, who has been .engaged to assist in the prosecution of Christ, accompanied

Alexander Cory to the Crimmi-* inal Court yesterday when the request was made of the Prosecutor that Cory be permitted to make the affidavit.
