TOPPEB, in Jullv St. Hicliolii.

The finest game of base ball ever witnessed in this city was played last Friday afternoon between the Greenfield and Knightstown teams. The game in the morning was tame compared to the one played in the afternoon. The score of the morning game was 12 to 9 in favor of Knightstown. In this game some of our boys played carelessly, but in the second game both teams knuckled down to business and played a red hot game from start to finish, and the score,.4 to 2 (in favor of Greenfield) is one seldom equalled by league clubs. The attendance was 500. The teams will cross bats again at the Knightstown park next Tuesday.

ysis of the left side from which he never rallied. He i*3 uuuonbcioub most ot tne time until his death. He recoguized his family at times, but was unable to talk much. As he could swallow but little or nothing, no assistance could be rendered him.

On Monday it was s.^tn that he was sinking, aurt at 805 p. m., he quietly passed away with hie wife, his son Horace and oaughur Jessie, and othej relatives by his si»'e. His funeral was held this after-noon at the Christian church, conducted by Rev. B. F. Duiley, pastor of the church and Rev. E. S. Conner, of Noblesville, who had been the pastor for the past three years.

The Masonic iraternity, of which he was an old and honored member, had charge oi the services, both at the church and the grave. There was a large number in attendance. Mr. Barnett left a

a daughter of

the late Lloyd Offutt, of this city, and four children by Lis first wife whose maiden name was «nodgrass. The children are Horace Barnett, of this city, Mrs. Ella SulUvau, Tiptou, Mrs. Charles Cammack, who lives in Arkansas, and Mrs. James G. Thomas, of Fortville. He also leaves a brother, David W.

He was a member of the Han rock county bar, of the Masonic fraternity and the Christian nrch. and had been an elder in the church for the past twen-ty-two year. He was an honest upright man, of excellent ability, whose character and life stood blameless be fere the people. His bereaved wife and family have the sympathy of their numerous friends.

An Old Fashioned Scrap—That Results in A Free For All Fight.

Last Saturday, Ed Custer the butcher, got on a pretty big "jag" and proceeded ta have, a goorl time. In the afternoon he met Jacob Varntr in front of "The Turf" saloon, and wanted to "vvrassel," Jake declined whereupon Ed became abusive and used very ungentlemanly language. Jake took offence at something Ed said and they proceeded to knock it out. Parties interfcrred and separated the men. In the meantime John Dudding, a brother-in-law of Varners, came up. Custer was still in an angry mood, saying he could "clean out" Varuer or any of his d—n kin. Dudding told him to keep still, but Custer couldn't do ilmt, aud the consequences were that Dudding knocked him down and proceeded to give him a genuine thrashing. The men were finally parted, but not before Custer received a black eye and several bruises on the head. Thtir trial was heard Monday morning before Mayor Herron, who fined and costed Dudding $8.35 and Custer $15.

Capt. Snow's House on Fire.

Tuesday morning at ten o'clock Mrs. Henry Snow, while in the yard, discovered the roof ot their house on fire. Mr. Hamilton, their gardener, was at hand, and with a few buckets of water soon extinguished the blaze. The alarm had been given, however, and hundreds of citizens were soon on the spot, but glad to learn that the danger was over. Five minutes later and the honse would have been doomed. The impression is that the Captain's son Thad, in the exuberance of his Fourth of July patriotism,' which began to boil over on the morning of the 3rd, had in some way thrown a fire cracker on the dry shingles, with the above result. A hole about four by five feet was burned in the roof of the porch but the loss is fully covered by insurance in the Phoenix, of Brooklyn, John Corcoran agent. Mr. and Mrs. Snow are grateful to their friends for responding so promptly.

A Clean Paper.

The REPUBLICAN has been congratulated by its readers time and time again on the cleanliness of its pages, for which we are thankful. It has been our aim to make a paper that could go into the home of any family and not cause the blush of shame to appear on the contcnance of any wife or daughter. We give all the news but unlike many county papers, we do not indulge in family troubles, neither do we publish sensational items, If anything appears in the REPUBLICAN, you will find, upon investigation, that we give only facts, and they not highly colored. This is our idea of a family newspaper, and we will try to keep up the "clean" reputation of the paper.

How to Send Money 1y mail.

The postal note, which has been in use for a number of years is now abolished. Hereafter all money remittances through the post office will be by money orders. A new kind of money order is now in use and the purchaser is guaranteed security against loss. The fee is greatly reduced, ranging from three cents on small amounts to thirty cents on a hundred dollars. A money order should always be used when making remittances through the mails.

The Water Works and Seworagw.

The water mains are now all in. The pumping machinery and boilero should also have been set by this time, so that we could have the plant in operation in a few days. Now that our water works plant is about in Greenfield should begin to think of a complete system of sewerage. No little, make shift temporary affair, but a model system that will make Greenfield a health resort. Think about sewerage, we need it.
