Daily, Thursday, May 16. ANOTHER IiONG SESSION*
City Council and tlie Boarl of Health Discuss Whiskey Alley.
The Council meet with all members present last night. After the reading of the extremely long minutes of the previous session the ball opened in earnest.
The plat of J. J. Corrigan & Co, of Indianapolis, for an addition in the South East part of the city near the cemetery was accepted.
The street and alley committee reported that everything was now in readiness to open up Pennsylvania street through the Eiley lot.
The treasurer's report for "April was reported correct and approved. The committee reported in favor of the purchase of five drinking fountains to be placed on the streets, two at $25,00 each and three at $47.80 each. They were bought of Jeff C. Patterson, agent for J. L. Mott & Co., of Chicago. The county commissioners, at their last session, made an appropriation of $150 toward paying for these fountains, as they are lor the free use of all comers, both man and beast.
The ordinance was passed for the improvement of Spring street from Main to Douglas streets with the Staple patent concrete side walk on both sides.
Spring street is also to have a closed sewer from Douglas street to where the open ditch leaves it. The assessmfnts will be made for said sewer and notice given the abutters through the REPUBLICAN of a time fer hearing grievances if there be any.
The Council accepted the final estimate on the cement sidewalk on the east side of Pennsylvania street, which had not been previously accepted, which was that part lying south of Dr. Selman's west gate.
The Mayor was instructed to make deeds to Sarah E. Stewart, Sarah R. Anderson, A. S. Orr, Ella Bohm and Herman Everett for cemetery lots.
The treasurer reported the receipt of $30,000 from Farson, Leach & Co., of Chicago, from the sale of school bonds and that tbe same had been turned over to the school board and he had receipt for same.
The school board reported the purchase of the Seiman and Sivey lots on Pennsylvania street for a high school buildiDg for $4,625. and the same was approved. Banker, Fa?an, Morford and Moulden voted aye while Beecher and Vaughn, the 1st ward councilmen favored a State street location and voted No.
The Council was agreed that the electric signal at the railroad crossing at the depot was a dead failure but they gave the company a little further time to either put in flagmen, suitable draw bars or some other satisfactory way of warning our citizens of danger. Three of the Councilmen)Beecher, Banker and Vaughn voted to at once publish an ordinance making it a penal offense for the railroad company to lurther delay putting flagmen the others councilmen voted no and the Mayor cast his vote that "way. Our people prefer their representatives should protect them and do it at once.
It was ordered that Peters & Dunn repair the sidewalk on State street made by them last fall.
The subject of the Troy Steam Laun
dry turning water into Whiskey alley was thoroughly discussed by the Council, the Board of Health and a number of citizens. Some insisted it was a nuisance, but finally agreed it was not the laundry water, but the filth from some of the abutting lots that caused the nuisance. It is always the best idea to abate the prime source of evil or nuisance. The Council favored fixing the State street gutter so that the water would be carried off. Some proposed that a private eight inch sewer be put in and that may be done. It would be effective.
Claims were allowed amounting to $579.25. Coui.cil adjourned.
Daily, Friday, May 1". Water is being piped to the new Christian church lot.
Ed Keeley has moved into his new house on Fouith street. M. F. Wills, of West Main street, is having his house painted and refitted.

The Sunday School Board of the M. E church meets Saturday night to determine the time and place for holding a Sunday School picnic.

John Loehr and Homer Carr, drove over to Indianapolis to-day to see the ball game between Indianapolis and Toledo. In yesterday's game Indianapolis shut Toledo out, the score being 6 to 0.
We will soon go to the picnic— We'll be dining in the air— While the slow but get "get there" wood tick Will be dining in our hair. The frost of last night did more damage to growing vegetables than any of the re cent cold weatker. We hear numerous complaints this morning about "my tomatoes and cabbage look sick this morning."
J. G. Churchman, of Bismarck, Dakota, was here to-day visiting his old friend, Geo. A. Carr. Mr. Churchman formerly lived at Indianapolis and was an express messenger on the I. & V. railroad. He holds a similar position in Dakota.
Wednesday about 10 o'clock while Wm. Brooks and wife who live two miles north of McCordsville were at Fortville their elegant home was destroyed by Are together with its contents. As only the children were at home nothing was saved. Thev had $1,200 insurance in the Continental but the loss amounted to $2,500.
O. O. Souders, Tom H. New and Lee S. Barrett attended the May Musical Festival at Indianapolis last night. It was "Wagner night." There was a magnificent audience and supurb music. Manager Arens was presented with a fine marble bust of Wagner. The May Festival has been a grand success, both mu sically and financially.
A man whose face showed great anguish walked into the post-office the other day and as he deposited a letter, remarked that his wife'didn't like it because he sometimes carried her letters two or three days before mailing them. The other remarked, "Yes, and I have known women to get mad because their husbands don't deliver their mail the first time they come home after getting it."
This is the last day of f-chool for our city schools. The scholars are now free until September and the teachers will be after they have examined and reported
«n the examination papers which will be next Tuesday. A very successful school year is completed. So far as we known all the teachers have given satisfaction. The teachers for next year have not all been employed yet. Prof. Wilson has been elected and will have charge of the schools next year. There will be some changes in the teaching force however. We will announce all the Dames as soon as they ere hired.
The school board is meeting with Prof. S. Wilsonjand Mayor Duncan consid ering plans for the new high school building. There are six architects here with plans and each firm is given an opportunity to present its plans and ideas. JThose competing are J. H. Felt, this city Finan & Hollingsworth, Elwood Louis H. Gibson. Indianapolis W. S. Kaufman, Richmond Labell & French, Marion: and Wing & Mahurin, Ft. Wayne. The board will very carefully consider all the drawings and plaus and then no doubt will make a wise choice and get the best. The REPUBLICAN is willing to back their judgment.
The heavy frost of last night, which was general over the country, did so much damage to growing fruit that the bottle works of this city, wi! I not start. Mr. J. Karrman, of the Holweg—Reese Co., of Indianapolis, was here to-diy fixing up the business of the concern. The blowers, about 30, were paid expense money and discharged. It has cost the company about $500 to get ready for work h'jre, which will be a dead loss to tbe firm. We are sorry this factory will not run this summer, as it promised employment to a large number of hands.
UNION OF LITERARY CL.UBS.
Connersvilie Chosen For the Annual Meeting of 189G.
Special to the Indianapolis News. HUNTINGTON, In I., May 16.—The closing session of the Indiana Union of Literary Clubs began this morning with a good attendance, although a number of visitors left the city on the early trains. The feature of the morning session was a paper on "Napoleon" by Prof. Edward Baillot, of Bloomington It was an able an interesting part of tbe morning work, and it was followed by an animated discussion, in which members of various clubs participated.
An honr was given to a piano recital under tbe auspices of the Matinee Musicale of this city. The uext annual convention will be held at Connersvilie.
The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. O. W. Conuer, of Wabash vice-president, Prof. R. I. Hamilton, of Huntington secretary, Mrs. I. H. Fairler, of Spencer chairman of program committee, Mrs. Virgiuia C. Meredith, of Cambridge City program committee, T. E. Ellison, of Ft. Wajne Professor Bailott, of Bloomington Mrs. George Moses, of Huntington, and W. W. Woolen, of Indianapolis.
"Oidu't Do a Thing to Us." The game of base ball played between Greenfield and Anderson Thursday on the latter's grounds, demonstrates that Greenfield, so far as base ball is concerned, had better "get off the earth." The score stood 32 to 5 in Anderson's favor. It seems to us that it is time some of our "ball cranks" realized the fact that Greenfield is not possessed with a club that can play a little bit. We were in the ball business last year, but the players were mostly from outside cities. We had a fairly good team then, but financially it was a dead failure. Thursday's game shows that our boys might play "scrub" or "tippy-up," but when it comes to base ball, they are not "in it." While only four of Greenfield's team played Thursday, yet she will have to stand the ridicule of the Anderson people and papers. The rest of the team were picked up at Pendleton and McCordsville.
Henri Watterson to Lecture at Knightstown's School Commencement. Agreeable to a custom which is rapidly gaining public favor the school board at Knightstown will have a lecture instead of speeches by the graduates at their commencement exercises. Next Friday evening, May 24th, at the eighteenth annual commencement, Hon. Henri Watterson, Editor of the Louisville Courier Journal, will deliver his great lecture on Abraham Lincoln. This is spoken of 8S the grandest lecture presented to the American public in many years. The admission lee is 25 and 35 cents. There will no doubt be a number from Greenfield who will attend
Why, Indeed?
Many of the visitors last week go zed in astonishment at our charming court house and made many amusing com ments, the majority, however, when they reached the public square simply glanced around and said, "Why in tbe world don't you peop'e build a new court house."—Rushville Jnc'&sonian.

The Democrat of yesterday howled considerable over the article in the REPUBLICAN calling attention to the fact that this county needs a new court house. Possibly Johnny is afraid he would^have to be a little more moderate in his charges against the county for printing.
The following taken from a note book found this week and headed "My Fishing Outfit," is eelf explanatory: "Two rods, four flasks of whiskey, casting lines, one bottle brandy, hooks, some bottled beer, a box of worms, three different kinds of wines, a box of flies, cigars, two reels and gear, one basket grub, a landing net, some gin."
A merchant makes a grave mistake when he advertises just to catch the trade of a newspaper publisher. He ought to have a higher appreciation of the value of advertising than that. The publisher is "small potatoes and few in a hill" when it comes to trading. He is very limited in his buying capacity, and when it comes to dividing his patronage with one hundred advertisers he can't spend over $100 a year with each one.
Supt. Geo. S. Wilson, of the city schools, is at Anderson to-day as one of the board tj examine the applicants who desired a West Point or Annapolis Cadetship. The other members of the baard are Prof. Hufferd, of Indianapolis and Dr. Horace Jones, of Anderson. Dr. Jones is a graduate of Annapolis and was in the Navy for a number of years. John Scott, of this city, is one of the competitors, and we should indeed be glad to see him secure a place. We know of no others from this county.
The Hancock county fair will be a winner this year. It has alwajs been good but better attractions than ever are to be on the 95 program.

Remember to tell your friends at a distance what a fine fair we will have, invite them to come and see you then and also view the magnificent improvements Greenfield is making. President Charles Downing and Secn tary Elbert Tyner are both giving their best efforts for the success of the fair and let every body assist them.
