Level Jeffries plead guilty Monday to an assault and battery on Will Vn vters. It seems that Vawters and Jake Bragg hired a rig Friday night of Jeffries & Son to go to a party at Ab Smiths near Philadelphia, agreeing to return about 11 o'clock. Instead ot doing so they took in the towns of Cumberland, Fairland, Shelbyville and Edinbufg, and returned to the city Sunday morning. When Vawters returned the rig he claimed to have no money, and wanted tn pawn a ring for the amount. Jeffries refused to take the ring, and after a few words on both sides, he proceeded to "pummel" Vawters. Friends interfered and Vawters was rescued. Mr. Jeffries fine and cost was $7, which he paid.

The pall bearers were, Homer Bragg, Lee Barrett, Elmer Thomas, A1 Conklin, Will Hough and Tom New.

As our editor entered the office Monday merning it was with a quick step and beaming contenance. His expansive and benign Bmile was caused by the arrival of a

The Tweuty-seventti Regiment Reunion In Greenfield.

The 27th Indiana Regiment of Volunteer Infantry will hold their annual reunion in Greenfield Monday and Tuesday, September 17th and 18th. The 17th is the anniversary of the second day's battle at Antietam in which the regiment participated. Mr. J. E.

This is the first reunion in years for Greenfield, so iet it be made a memorable occasion in wnich all citizens will take pleasure in doing all they can for the pleasure and comfort of the old "Boys in Blue.' 'It is the intention to have at least 100 members of the regiment present.

The second day will be a day in which all old soldiers are requested to be present. The full program will appear later but remember we are going to have a grand time. Mr. Hart will have tents, old rails, camp-fires and a genuine old army time at headquarters.

In Ml For Stealing Pears. Two young men giving their names as Charles Williams and Arthur Ross, and claiming Indianapolis as their home, are now in our jail accused of stealing pears from George Walker, of Jackson Township. On last Friday they drove to the farm of Mr. Walker, and tilled their wagon with green pears, and intended to dispose of them in Indianapolis. As soon as Mr. Walker discovered his loss, he, in company with James O'Donnell, started in pursuit of the fellows and caught them at Cumberland. Sheriff Smith and Deputy John Herron went after them and brought them to this city Friday night. The men waived preliminary bearing in Mayor Herron's court Saturday, and their bond was fixed at $200 a piece, in default of which they went to jail. These same fellows sold a pair of gold spectacles to Wm. Scott, northeast of this city for $1.50. Thev claimed to have found them. A REPUBLICAN representative interviewed them Tuesday, bat the men did not wish to say anything about their case. One of them claims to have a family in Indianapolis.

THE NATIONAL, GAME—BASE BALL—

As Played by the Greenfield Team With Various Other Clubs. CARTHAGE VS. GREENFIELD.

Nine to two in favor of Carthage is the way the score stood at the close of the game played by the above named clubs last Friday afternoon. The local team was not "in it" from the start. The invincible Gore, the renowned pitcher, did the work, but he had the best support of any pitcher who has twirled the sphere on our grounds. When the Carthage boys went to th° field, they went with the intention of playing ball, and they did. If Williamson and Raffert, the home battery, had had any kind of support, the score would have been entirely different. This battery did good work, Williamson striking out 13 men' while Gore only fanned eight. The Carthage team had the advantage every way. Not only did they play good ball, but Sparks umpire, gave them the advantage in every close decision, some of his decisions were of the rankest kind, and and ho never gave Greenfield the benefit of a doubt. Sparks as an umpire, is a miserable failure except where his club is concerned.

Council Meeting.

The city council met last night with Mayor Herron in the chair and all members present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted after the regular routine of business was attended to, such as allowing claims, hearing petition read, etc., the council gave the contractors, who are making the North Pennsylvania street sidewalk, until August 6th to fill their bond and sign the contract. This is something that should have been attended to before the contractors were allowed to commence work.

Petitions were read, condemning the Guymon House stable and a house on the corner of school and Fourth streets.

The city treasurer made his report on the opening of the alley which runs back of the Guymon House. All benefits have been paid, and damages paid out except two. After other minor matters were attended to, the council adjourned.

.'/-'•/.Water Works Plants Pay. Two years ago Brookville put in a system of water works at a cost not much over $20,000. The second annual report, just published, shows that there are 230 paying consumers, and that the income to the city is $1540, which exceeds the running expenses more than $500 a year—of course not including the cost of extensions. The American of that place, says: "The probability is that within a year the plant will pay both maintenance'and interest, yet the rates for water are cheaper than any other town within our personal knowledge. Our neighboring town ot Harrison pays $50 a year for each fire cl...it, of which we have 46, and they do not cost the town a penny. The water works is a success."—Rushville Republican.

As Greenfield is about twice as large as Brookville, our system should pay even better.

Surprised Tli« ir Friends.

Mr. George Justice, a tailor employed by W. W. McCole, and Miss Fannie, the accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Barr, were married at Indianapolis last Monday. Mr. Justice is one of Greenfield's nicest young men and Miss Barr is well known as a society lady of this city. They will make their home in this city, and the REPUBLICAN wishes them a happy voyage through life.
