Resolutions of Respect.

To the Worshipful Master, Wardens and Brethren of Eden Lodge, No. 477, P. and A. M.

We, the committee appointed to draft suitable resolutions on the death of Brother A. II. Trueblood, beg leave to submit the following:

Brother Albert H. Trueblood was born Nov. 5, 1834, in Elizabeth City, N. C., and departed this life at his residence in Eden, Ind., Jan. 20, 1895. He was a peaceable, quiet citizen, always ready to lend a helping hand to the distressed, honored and respected by all who knew him. He joined the Masonic Fraternity in the year 1861 at Fortville, Iud together with Hiram Barrett and John Mingle, both of whom have gone on before, and was a charter member of Eden Lodge.

Whereas, It has pleased the Divine Architect of the universe in his allwise dispensation of providence to call from his labors below, to refreshments in that great Grand Lodge above where all the worthy of all ages and all climes shall appear in unfading light, before the Grand Master of the universe, our worthy Brother Albert H. Trueblood, therefore be it

Resolved, That in his death the Lodge has lost a devoted and useful member, ready at all times to answer and obey all summons, the community an honored citizen, and his only son, a father in the truest sense of the word, who has been associated with him in business for years past and who will miss him more than all others combined.

Resolved, That the lodge room be draped in mourning for thirty days in token of our sorrow.

Resolved, That thi* Lodge extend its sympathy to the family and friends of our deceased brother and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family, li/f't''"' and one to each county paper for publica-

Circulation Tliis Week, ?,550

HANCOCK county's representative, Mr. Jehu Q. White has the petitions in charge which the temperance people of the county have sent in regard to the Nicholson bill. Mr. White will present the petittous, and we understand that he will vote for llie bill. By so doing he will represent the will of three fourths, at least, of the people of the county, aud that is what he is sent there to do.

DURING the campaign of 1892 the Democrats made desperate efforts to secure control of this government aud promised to Indianapolis to-day.

to abolish the infamous McKinley bill and establish a freer trade, wipe out the 10 per cent tax on State bank circulation and let such banks circulate a State or

ocal currency so that money would be

abundant. Taking these promises to be true, the Republican speakers predicted disaster to the country should the Democrats gain control, and to prove tneir statements they showed what the state of the country was under Buchanan, the las!.' Democrat president before Cleveland wlieu such conditions did prevail. To show the distress of the country then, the speakers only had to read extracts from Buchanan's State jiapers and messages. To show to future voters the dire distress of the country during Cleveland's administration, it would only be necessary to read some of his mournful calamity messages to Congiess or open letters to Congressmen, saying the country has lost confidence in the Democrat party and that financial matters are panicky.

Last night at the regular Masonic meetins the question of anew hall came up and provoked much discussion. A committee was appointed to sell the old buildiag aud grouud and secure a location for anew building. The committee, as appointed, is the Master Charles Downing, Wardens John T. Duncan and S. P. Gordon, Eph Marsh and D. B. Cooper. We understand that Nelson Bradley offers to give the lodge his lot just east of Henry Gates' property on Main street, and some favor that location. Others, however, favor a location near the present one, such as the Wilson corner, the Guymon House block, or the Walker-Boyd Randall lots, corner of Main and State streets. Tt will be thoroughly discussed before the hall is built, however.

Williams-Uruiideii.

Sunday evening, January 27th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bazel Grunden, near Wilkinson, their daughter Lillie was uuited in marriage to Mr. Frank Williams by R«v. Elisha Earles, and witnessed by the relatives and a few intimate friends. Immediately alter the ceremony, all proceded to the diuing room where a delightful repast awaited them.

The groom is one of our most prominent young men and is highly esteemed by all who know him. The bride is one among our best society ladies and will be remembered as one of our graduates of the class of '94. The bride was beautifully arrayed in light serge with silk t.immings, while the groom wore the conventional black. On the following evening, a pretty supper was served and a happy time spent at the home of the groom's mother, Mrs. Mary A. Williams. At a late hour all returned to their different homes, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Williams along life and much happiness. May joy attend them.

Utica enjoys the donbtfnl distinction of being probably the only city in the United States which has a tollgate within its boundaries or anywhere near it, for that matter. The old days of toll roads and toilgates have passed away, and it is well that they have. The company which maintains the Deerfield gate has a legal Btatns that cannot be done away with without the consent of those who own the property. The last legislature passed an nnabling act which makes it possible for the parties interested to do away with the tollgate, and it is something to which the attention of the authorities may properly be directed.— Utica Press.

Jfor over 400 years Nov. 18 was observed in England as a festival. It commemorated the death of Hardicannte and the accession of Edward the Confessor, by which the country was delivered from the yoke of the Danes.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY T, 1895.

TREASURY CONDITION

It Forms a Topic For Discussion in Congress.

DIFFERENT VIEWS EXPRESSED.

Eilver Democrats and Populists United. Substitute For the Carlisle Hill Favored by Some—Reed Has His Followers—A

Cabinet Meeting Discusses the Financial Situation—Proceedings of Congress. WASHINGTON, £eb. 6.—The debate on the administration bill to authorize the issue of $500,000,000 gold bonds for the purpose of retiring the legal tenders and treasury notes began in the house yesterday and continued for six hours. It developed widely divergent views at the outset. The silver Democrats and Populists opposed it outright. .Some of the administration Democrats, like Hall of Mississippi, favored a substitute on the lines of the Carlisle bill,while Mr. Reed, the leader of the Republicans, after a speech charging the present trouble to 5tf the deficiency in the revenue, introduced

I a bill authorizing tlie secretary of the treasury to sell 3 per cent coin bonds to keep up the gold reserve and certificates of indebtedness, redeemable at the pleasure of the government, to pay current 3xpenses until tlie revenues shall equal the expenditures. The issue of gold bonds, he said, would discriminate against the coin bond of the past. Mr.

Patterson, a Democrat from Tennessee, on the contrary, favored the issue of gold bonds.

The senate session opened with a very breezy personal altercation between Mr. Mitchell of Oregon and Mr. Harris of Tennessee. The -words "ungentlemauly" and "contemptible" were exchanged and for a time it looked as though the senate chamber might witness a repetition of the billigerent scene in the house last week. But the conflict assumed a somewhat serio-comic aspect and the senate soon relapsed into an uneventful consideration of routine business. The District of Columbia appropriation bill was passed, after having been before the senate more than a week, and discussion of the diplomatic and consular bill was begun.

CABINET SESSION.

The Financial Situation Considered but No Conclusion Beached. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The cabinet was in session yesterday from before 10 o'clock until after 2:45. It is understood that almost flu only subject- of discussion wius the pending bund issue. Several prominent Nov.* York bunkers are here, among them J. Pierpont Morgan, and while ilvey have not seen either the president- or Mr. Carlisle, it is understood that their views on the situation were conveyed to the president.

No authorative statement of lie character of the cabinet discussion can be made, but it is believed that no final action lias been determined upon. It is understood that negotiations with representatives of London bankers are in progress with indications of an eai\y consummation. There is no longer any expectation of a popular loan to be placed in this countiy, as iu that eve.i-t the experience of the last few months would be repeated and the gold reserve again depleted.

The purpose of the administration is, it is understood, to place the entire sue of bonds with London bankers, who would pay for them with London gold and thus av for the present at least, the necessity for paying out gold in exchange for legal tenders. While no definite conclusion has been reached it is believed that the announcement of the sale of the bonds will be made at an early day.

TROLLEY CARS COLLIDE.

but None

Four People Seriously Injured of Thein Fatally. KANSAS CITY, Feb. 6.—Two heavy

trolley cars collided high up in the air on the elevated railway structure in Kansas City, Kan., today. They were going at full speed on the north track, and while the force of the collision was so great that the front platforms were demolished and the westbound car shoved back off its truck, neither car went off its structure.

Forty passengers were on board the two cars. Singularly enough there was no loss of life, and the only serious injury was to the two motormen. The list of the injured are as follows: James Jackman, motorman, left foot smashed, amputation necessary Albert McNamore, motorman, nose broken and face cut L. B. Green, left leg lacerated Patrick McTrevor, cut with glass. Several others were slightly injured.

BOILER EXPLODED.

Carelessness Causes the Death of Four People and One Other Is Dying. LOSANTVILLE, Ind., Feb. 6.—Yester

day afternoon several men were employed husking corn at Jacob Clapper's residence, five miles southwest of this place. They were using a husker run by an old threshing machine engine. Suddenly the boiler exploded, and t) following were killed: Nathan Tayloi, Harvey Taylor, John Welker and Jacob Clapper. Wilson Drake is dying.

Harvey Williams was the only one of the six who escaped, and he is badly bruised. The men were careless and neglected the machinery. Cold water being injected into a dry and hot boiler caused the explosion.

Progress of a Mnrdor Trial. CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—Edmund Jordan,

Annie Mahoney and John Jersey were arraigned today for the murder of Janitor Alfred D. Barnes, whose mutilated body was found in a world's fair packing box last December. Jordan, who had confessed to the killing, will plead self-defense, and he, with Jersey and Annie Mahoney pleaded not guilty yesterday. Jordan was Barnes' assistant at the Hiawatha flat, buildings, and claims he killed his employer during a quarrel. The day was spent iu selecting a jury._
