Greenfield Has Flenty of Gas.

We are very glad indeed to say that Greenfield has an abundance of gas during this cold weather. A day or two ago the Greenfield Gas Company had a couple of wells frozen up, but notwithstanding that their patrons did not suffer a shortage and the lines were opened as soon as possible. The Citizens' Co., of course, has a super-abundance, and its patrons are delighted with their service. News comes from almost every other city in the state that uses gas of a shortage, but we rejoice in an abundance. Noblesville closed her schools yesterday because some of the pipe lines were frozen up.

Prof. Brenneke'g Sew Dancing Club.

The new dancing class which has been organized for Prof. D. B.

Any one who has eyer taken lessons of Mr. Brenneke always understand long before ha is through the term just who has charge of and complete direction of the club.

token of their esteem. The presentation speech was made by Capt. Lee O. Harris, one of the oldest and best known teachers in the county. Mr. Thompson was taken completely by surprise, but responded in a neat and happy speech to the teachers. The occasion will be long remembered by those present.

This morning at 3 o'clock Henry Hunt's home, in Blue River township, was burned, with most of its contents. He was up at midnight and lighted afire in the kitchen to keep milk and other things from freezing. About 3 a. m., hearing a cracking noise, he arose and opened the kitchen door, only to meet a wall of fire. He and his wife succeeded in getting their children out with about a suit apiece, except the little ones, who were carried out without getting their clothes. A sewing machine and bedding for two beds was saved and the rest of the things went up in flames. Mr. H. succeeded in saving his smoke house, which contained considerable meat. The fire was quite a loss, as he carried no insurance and only owns personal property. Some money was raised here in the city and in the country for the family today. Every family in the county should carry insurance.

Tlie Funny Man On Matrimony.

The "funny" man who asked, "Where is the state of matrimony?" received this explanatory answer: "'It is in the United States. It is bounded by hugging and kissing on one side and babies on the other. Its products are population, broomsticks and staying out of nights. It was discovered by Adam and Eve while trying to find a north-west passage out of Paradise. The climate is rather sultry until you pass the tropics of housekeeping, when squally weather sets in with sufficient power to keep all hands as cool as cucumbers. For the roads leading to this interesting State, consult the first pair of blue or black eyes (as preferred) you run against."

Quick Work.

Marshall Scott, in arresting, searching and taking Don Carr, who stole $8.50 from Mrs. Pearl McMahon, to jail Friday morning, made a good record.

Saturday morning the grand jury returned an indictment against Carr and Monday morning he was sentenced by Judge Offutt to a year in the penitentiary disfranchised for one year and fined $1.00. Sheriff Pauley will take him to Jeffersonville Friday. Carr is a young man who claimed Chicago as his home and worked around the hotel as a general nym of all work and finally cook.

A very pretty and puzzliug trick for boys is that of setting fire to a snow heap. Make a hillock of snow and in to the apex of a little cone at its top press some pieces of gum camphor. When all is arranged, light a match and touch the bit of gum. It will at once take fire and burn with a brilliant and beautiful flame.

COUNCIL CHIPS.

A Lively Session, But the New City Hall Not Mentioned.

The Street and Alley committee reported that they had been in correspondence with some engineers in regard to plans and specifications for a sewerage system. C. G. Goss, a civil engineer and a member of the firm of Philips & Goss, of Indianapolis, was present and addressed the council some on the subject of sewerage. The committee was granted further time to make additional investigations. The committee reported that a sewer should be put in on Spring street, but had as yet no plan to propose, so was given further time.

Electric Light Committee Morford, Banker and Beecher report against granting the petition to put an electric light at north end of Wood street.

An ordinance was introduced and passed to protect everything belonging to the fire department, and also to prevent any one obstructing firemen in going to afire or in working at the same. The penalty for violating this ordinance is a fine of not less that $5.00 nor more than $25.00.

Attorney W. W. Cook appeared before the Council and asked that an ordinance be granted to the Springer Telephone Co. of Hancock county to erect and maintain a first-class telephone system in our city, and not charge to exceed $20 per year for a telephone for a business house and $15 for a dwelling. 1 he Springer Telephone Co. had secured contracts for 53 telephones, and the name3 were real by Mr. Cook as follows:

Attorney E. W. Felt, representing Lee C. Thayer, W. C. Dudding, himself and other gentlemen, whom, he said, desired to organize and put in an electric light and telephone system, presented a petition and asked that the Council appoint a committee to investigate the subject and agree upon an ordinance. Speeches were made by Eph Marsh, Chas. Downing and Councilmen Moulden, Morford Vaughn and Eagan. The ordinance and the petition were both referred to ordinance committee with instructions to report at next meeting. Messrs. Marsh and Moulden claimed that the petition was not put in good faith, but simply to knock the present and proposed Springer telephone exchange and then introduce something else later. As a rule, however, it pays best, to make haste slowly and go about all important city business deliberately and carefully,

The petition was granted to disannex from the city of Greenfield the land lying south of the railroad and the line of Broadway extended south to the Palestine pike upon the petitioners paying all costs.

SCHOOL HOUSE BONDS TO BE PAID OFF. The City Treasurer Was ordered to pay six school house bonds of $500 each.

A petition was presented from citizens of North Bradley street asking that the water mains be extended on that street. At present the city cannot extend the mains, but will give all citizens the privilege of having mains put in and crediting the cost of same on water rent. A petition to the same effect was presented from a number of citizens from the northwest part of the city, and all referred to the water works committee. The Council desires to put in mains as fast as they can.
