Will tlie Stove Foundry Be Bemoveil.

We have it on good authority, .that it is the present intention of the management of the Stove Foundry to move the plant to Indianapolis about May 1st. The reasons assigned are that gas has become so expensive that there is no longer any advantage derived Irom its use and also that practically the whole of the product finds a market west of Indianapolis, necessitating a considerable outlay for freight. There certainly should be some effort made to retain this valuable institution in Greenfield.

The New Republican Apportionment Bill.

By the legislative apportionment bill which has been introduced in the legislature, Hancock county will be thrown^ with Henry county, both for a senatorial and representative district. The two counties have 10,931 votes, which is 89 votes below the senatorial uuit average which is 11,020, and are given a Joint senator.

The legislative unit is 5510, Henry county with 6440 is given a representative and her excess given to Hancock county and the two given a joint representative with the vote 5421. This will insure Republican representation for Hancock county, both in tlie House and Senate.

Dr. 31. M. Attains to Warm His Home by Hot Water.

Mr. Luman Banks, the expert plumber is putting in a Syracuse, N. Y. water heater for Dr M. M. Adams, that is the finest invention yet to heat a house. The heater can be run with the same amount of gas that it takes to run one stove, and eight rooms and two hwlls will be heated by the water system. It is a great saving of gas and labor, heats a house more evenly and keeps sufficient moisture in the air to make a room healthier and more enjoyable in every way. The system costs a snug sum to begin with, §300, but is worth the money. Mr. Manville H. Gant on North State street has his handsome home heated by the same system.

Is Anyone Keeping Dynamite or Giant Powder in Greenfield?

The terrible loss of life at Butte, Montana, where nearly ten people were killed, was caused by a firm having giant powder stored in their warehouse, contrary to ldw, and a lot being in the car yards in freight cars. The Greenfield City Council has astringent ordinance on the subject of storing or bringing dynamite, giant powder or any kind of a nitrogoneous explosive within the city limits. The penalty is a fine of $50 for each and every day the ordinance is violated, and for any amount. The question has been asked, Are any such explosives, even in smiill amounts, stored anywhere in our city? Firemen would uot be disposed to work in a buildiug or even in a blocK where such an explosive was stored. We are not disposed to think any one here is violating the law. Merchants are not allowed to keep in ther stores over 25 pounds of powder at once. 1

Knilroad News.

The trolley electric lines to suburbs a few miles out from Pittsburg have proved such a failure the present winter that the Pennsylvania has put on its old time number of suburban trains to accommodate the travel. It is possible that the numerous electric roads planned to run from Indianapolis to various other Indiana cities may not be the glowing success that is now anticipated.

The time of the Knickerbocker fast train, oyer the Big Four and Vanderbilt lines, will on Sunday be cut down to meet the time of the Pennsylvania and Vaudalia new trains. The time between St. Louis and Indianapolis will be reduced thirty minutes.

The new train over the Vandalia and the Pennsylvania lines between St. Louis and New York is similar to the famous Chicago and New York limited, over the Pittsburg, Fort, Wayne & Chicago. The schedule of the train eastward is as follows: Leave St. Louis at 1 p. m- Indianapolis, 7:15 p. m. Pittsburg, 7 a. m. reach New York at 6:30 p. m. Eastern time, or 5:30 p. m. Indiauapolis time.

OIL IN HAMILTON COUNTY.

Oil Wells Will lie Developed In This County 111 a Year or Two,

As the gas pressure in the Hamilton county field has gone down, oil has come into a number of gas wells in Hamilton county, and recently a well on the farm of a Mr. BrookS near Olio in Fall Creek township which adjo'ns Vernon township this county, was found to send out a flow of oil estimated at twelve or fifteen barrels per day. Territory has been leased in large blocks, and the field will be developed later. It is only a matter of a few years until producing oil wells will dot Hamilton and Hancock counties and the owners of farms made thousands of dollars richer. Oil wells pay land owners better than gas wells many times over. The gas and oil business has put Indiana to the front in the past few years and future prospects look equally bright for continued prosperity and progress in the Indiana gas belt counties, one of which is our own county of Hancock.

VOL XVI. NO. 4 GREENFIELD, INDIANA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1895. ONE DOLLAR PES YEAS

FRENCH PRESIDENT.

Faure Chosen Despite the Loud Protestations.

BUT TWO BALLOTS REQUIRED.

The Socialists* monarchists and Revisionists Object, but All to No Purpose—Wal-deck-Rousseau Withdraws After the

First Ballot in Favor of Faure—Tumult Follows the Flection. VERSAILLES, Jan. 13. M. Felix

Faure, minister of marine in the present cabinet, was elected on the second ballot yesterday afternoon to be president of the French republic. Fauro polled 430 votes to 361 votes polled by his nearest opponent, Brisson, president of the chamber of deputies. The Socialists protested violently when tlie result of the ballot was made known. They demanded a dissolution and cried, "Down with the president!" but to no purpose. Some of the monarchists and revisionist members protested and shouted, "Vive la roi I"

Challomel-Lacour called the senators and members of the ckamberjof deputies to order at about 1 p. m., and the proceedings proper opened at ]:!0 p. m., When Challemel-Lacour rer.d the articles of the constitution which apply to the case.

Great Excitement.

There was a scene of considerable excitement, deputies from all parties of the halls springing to their feet and demanding to be heard.

When the first bursts of excitement had subsided, Lacour ordered that the first ballot be taken as promptly as possible. The balloting then proceeded amid considerable excitement in the galleries..

While the voting was in progress the friends of Faure were actively canvassing for votes, and with apparent success, until a rumor was started that he was a Protestant. This for a time had a bad effect upon his candidacy but a deputation instantly approached Faure and questioned him. Faure, who was greatly excited, said, iu reply to a question on the subject: "No I am a Catholic." This reassured his supporters, and they went to work with increased Vigor in the effort to secure additional votes for their candidate.

The official declaration of the result of the first ballot, after revision of the list, was as follows: Brisson, 388 Faure, 244 Waldeck-Rousseau, 184 Cavaignac, 6 Meline, 4 Dupuy, 4 Admiral, 1 Gervais, I Marshal Canrobert, 1 Loubet, 1 Rochefort, 1 Bourgeois, 1 Blank, 1—Total, 788.

After depositing their first ballots the deputies assembled in the gallerie de bustes, which was very crowded.

From the conversation of the deputies in the gallerie de bustes, it was gathered that if Brisson was not elected the Socialists would at once recommence their struggle against the government.

Waldeck-Rousseau Withdraws. Shortly before the senators and deputies reassembled for the second ballot, it •v^as announced that Waldeck-liousseau had retired in favor of Faure and the friends of the latter were tforrespondingly elated and felt confident of his election.

The casting of the second ballot began at 4:40 p. m. and proceeded with less turbulence. At 7:15 p. m. Lacour ascended the presidential tribune, and when the hubbub .had subsided, he announced that tlie result of the ballot was: Faure, 430 Brisson, 301.

Members of the Right immediately burst into cheers and the Socialists rose and shouted: "Down with rogues! down with the thieves! away with them, send them to Mazas prison!" The members of the Right replied with cries of "Down with the commune!" Coutant, Socialist, retorted with: "Down with reaction."

Ail Indescribable Tumult

followed, but finally Lacour was able to make himself heard and he declared that M. Felix Faure was elected president of the French republic. Thereupon the extrome Left and the Socialists again rose and they set forth a tremendous shout of "Vive Brisson!" "Vive Brisson!"

Thus shouting upon the part of the adherents of the president of the chamber of deputies lasted for a couple of minutes. Nevertheless, Lacour pursued the usual parliamentary course, and had the minutes read while the Socialists continued their protests against the election of Faure.

But as the other members of the national assembly had departed the Socialists concluded to do the same, and the sail* du congress was soon empty.

After all the formalities of announcing the result of the second ballot had been concluded, the president of the assembly and the cabinet ministers repaired to the room of Challemel-Lacour where Premier Dupuy formally read the minutes of the meeting. Faure and Challemel-Lacour then made short speeches.

At 8:30 p. m. a four-liorse landau, escorted^by a guard of liorse artillery, drove up to the entrance of the palace and the newly elected president entered the vehicle. Then, escorted by a detachment of dragoons and mounted gendarmes, he started for Paris.

The square in front of the palace was packed with people who had been waiting there since noon, and there were loud cheers of "Vive la republique" as the carnage drove away.

Who Faure Is.

M. Francois Felix Faure, member of the chamber of deputies for Seine-Inferieure, who was elected president of the republic of France to succeed M. Casimir-Perier, was born in Paris Jan. 30, 1841. He was under secretary of state for the colonies in the ministries of Gambetta, Ferry, Brisson and Tirard, and was one of the vice presidents of the chamber of deputies preceding the present one. He has been a Republican deputy for about 14 years, and has served on several of the most import* ant committees of the chamber. M. Faure has made a legislative specialty of business questions, particularly those concern* ing the French merchant marine aud foreign commerce. He served in the FrancoPrussian war as chief of a battalion of the Garde Mobile, and was made a chavelier of the Legion of Honor on May 81. 1871.
