The Court House about to Fall to Pieces. Last Monday while court was in session, a noise was heard in tie southeast corner, and upon investigation it was found that the building was settling and splitting in that corner. The jury was moved into another corner of the room, but it was found there was no ^immediate danger, and the jury moved

back. The facts are however, there is an old crack which has existed for years, but with this large new one, it is only a question of time until the present buildving will be condemned, and the tax-pay "era of the county called upon to build a new court house.

JOHN CORCORAN, SEC'V.

We notice an article in the Greenfield papers that, without explanation, may perhaps be misleading referring as to the suit of the J. C. McNeil Co., of Akron, Ohio, against the Weston Paper Co. The suit was brought about by the J, C. McNeil Co. not fulfilling their contract in delivering boilers as agreed, causing the Weston Paper Co. considerable loss, and delaying the starting of the mill about two months. The Weston Paper Co. offered settlement in full, provided proper indemnity was allowed by the J. C. McNeil Co., which they refused, and the only course was to allow the courts to decide how much the Weston Paper Co. was damaged

REED GETS TEX YEARS.

.. Found Guilty of ^Manslaughter. Last Friday at noon, after a trial of five days, the case of the State against William Reed, charged with killing Saml. Barker, at Indianapolis last October, and which on account of its previous trial here, is familiar to our readers, was given to the jury. The case had beeu bitterly contested since it had beeu a drawn battle before aud the attorneys each side made a great effort. They were led to this because in the first place each side firmly believed in its case aud secondly because some personal feeling between some of the attorneys had arisen in the case. The jury after being out about five hours brought in their verdict as i'ol lows, "We the jury, fiud the defendent, William Reed guilty of manslaughter and fix his punishment at ten years imprisonment.

At this time a very affecting scene occurred. The boy's mother, who had been with him during both trials, threw lu-r arms around her boy and with sobs and moaniugs showed her mother's love. Many in the room, including some jurymen. were melted to tears. At the request of Mr. Offutt, the jury was polled at this time, but they all affirmed the verdict, E. C. Huntington, of Sugarcreek was foreman. The attorneys for the defense asked for a new trial and that sub ject will be argued March 8th. The costs iu these two cases are quite large. The attorneys for the defense asked a fee of $1,500 and $500 for expenses ol witnesses, etc. The Court allowed a fee of $12U0 in the two trials.

to Build a New

For some time the members of the Christian church have been contemplating building a new house. Kecently a building committee was selected and after looking the city over, decided that the Duddlug-Kinder lot, just north ot J. Ward Walker & Co's. store was the most desirable sight to be obtained. It corners on North and East streets aud is in the heart of the city. Last evening the members of the congregation met at the church and enough money lacking a few dollars was subscribed to buy the lot which costs $1200. The amount will be completed in a few days. The church will then own the lot and their present building and lot free of encumberauce and be ready to raise the money to erect a new, modern, handsome and commodious structure that will answer the needs of the church and be an ornament to Greenfield. The cost of the house has not been determined on yet, but it will probably be from $12000 to $18,000.

Mr. Morgan Chandler is chairman of the building committee and also treasurer of the church and as all concede his excellent financial ability, everything is expected to move rapidly and successfully.

Gone Glimmering.—The Postofflce Moved*

Last Saturday, Postmaster Lewis received a telegram from Eph Marsh, who is still iu Washington, that the order to move the office was firmly fixed and to go on. He went on aud citizens now get their mail at the extreme east end. The big petition sent in by the business men including a large number of influential Democrats, against the removal was inconsiderately thrown is the waste basket for fourth class rubbish. Yet Bynum will want these same men to dance up and vote for him, but when it comes to giviug out favors he has no ear for anybody outside of the riug.The ring machinery is squeaking badly just at present and we say right now that though the managers are oiling vigorously and promising favors right aud left the old ring is bound to get a hot box aud before. 189-1 is over, she will break down.
