AND GREENFIELD WILL HAVE THE FINEST SCHOOL. BUILDING IN EASTERN INDIANA.
Wednesday the Greenfield School Board, Messrs. E. P. Thayer, Jr., D. B. Cooper, and E E. Slower, received bids as follows on the new city High School build ing. The first figures are for the brick werk, the second for brick with stone trimmings and the third for a complete stone building. We give all the bids as follows:
O. S. Pulse & Co., Greensburg, $20,718 525,810 Thomas Drury, Connersville, $'8,582 $31,582 $36,582.
Douglas Bros, Fowler. $35,000 $33,000: Geake & Henry, Ft. Wayne, $21,000 $26,000 $29,320.
Thomas P. Kelly, Anderson, $32,150 $29,650 $34,550. O. W. Brundage, Kalamazoo, $22,280 $30,143 $35,133.

Heinzman Bros., Noblesville, $21,975 $26,771 $35,114. Last night the Board contracted with Geake & Henry, of Ft. Wayne, for an all stone building and as they added several hundred dollars in extras to the specifications, they agreed to a slight advance in the contract price and closed at $29,400, which is indeed quite reasonable. Wabash has a school building which is ten feet smaller each way that costs them $37,000, but building is cheaper tli!s year. Tha building grounds and furnishings will cost the city $35,000. lc will be a building that will aid to the beauty and reputation of our city as progressive and prosperous. Such a tui'ding will make Greenfield more desirable as a p'ace of residence and add to the value of the property of the city. The Board decided for stone. We commend their judgment, and citizens both in the present and future will ve *cause to congratulate themselves on having a school board with the proper degree of public and progressive spirit.
A NEW HOTEL
To Complete the Big Four List—Will be Luvutea on the Present Site ot the Guymon House.
We are reliably informed that negotiations have been quietly made for a magnificant hotel to be erected where the Guymon House now stands. George H. Cooper and tf. S. Bragg, who arc largely interested in the enterprise, have arranged to accompany an architect to iuspect the new hotul at Hartford City, which traveling men say is the best arranged hotel in the State. Those who have seen the plans say that the hotel will be in keeping with the buildings now being erected in this city, and will conip'ete the "big four" list, the other thiee being the Christian church, Masonic Temple and the High School building The hotel will be t! ree stories and busemenc. On the ground floor in addition to the office, dining room, kitchen and rooms for traveling silsmen, there will be a largo room suitable for any kind of business and rooms arranged especially for a dreg store and barber shop. The second floor will have four parlors, three private dining rooms and suites, consisting of lew ptiou rouni, bed room and bath arranged for families who maj wish lc spend all or part of the year at a hot'd. The third floor will be mostly single rooms. The plans call for furnace heat, elevator, electric lights and call bells, baths, hot and cold water, and everything usually found in a well arranged hotel. Such a hotel as this, with the busines rooms properly rented, will be a paying investment and we are glad to see it go. Mr. Bragg is popular with the traveling public and at his suggestion the present building will be temporarily moved to the rear lot on North street and business carried on there until the new building is completed. It is the intention then to clear off the north lot and make it into a park and flower garden for the use .of the guests of the hotel. Greenfield* is certainly to be ejongratulated on the prospect of at 6hce having a first- lass hotel, something that all traveling men eay we need worse than any thing else.

The Blueriver Resort Written Up by a Law Abiding Citizen.
¶ EDITOR REPUBLICAN—Blueriver township contains no city or town, yet to the shame of the township and law, it must be said that after all our boasted civilization and high sense of morality, and in defiance of civil law and all laws of decency, there does exist and flourish within its borders and near the winding stream of Blueriver, one of the most disgraceful resorts to be found upon Hoosier soil. With new recruits fresh from the prison cells of Shelbyville this house of prostitution now contains six regularly installed prostitutes. With open doors and bold front this iniquitous brothel denies admittance and entertainment to neither the gray haired sire nor the beardless youth. Our public highways are paraded for twenty-four hours in the day by an army ot drunken scoundrels, who spare none with their insults, neither, virtuous ladies nor the little lassies of our neighborhood. And we regret to say that the fair city of, Greenfield, the towns of Carthage, Morristown and Charlottesville furnish their quotos [quotas] to these drunken mobs. The citizens of this vicinity have long since reached the limit where "forbearance ceases to be a virtue." We would especially call the attention of the officers of the law whose duty it is to suppress these vices to the existing state of affairs at this place. This is a most propitious opportunity for our new and worthy deputy prosecuting attorney to win laurels and fame and the lasting regards of respectful citizens of this vicinity and the county at large by giving these criminals—these worse than brutes—an early and vigorous prosecution. If not speedily stamped out the coroner will certainly have duty to perform at this place, for murder has been narrowly averted upon more occasions than one. Unless the law is speedily enforced and these lawless characters brought to justice, the citizens will surerise up in their might and mete out such punishment as seems suitable for such iniquity. A CITIZEN. (The Eagle's Nest, an evil resort in

LAUDEDSAFE IS CUBA
Two More Expeditions From the United States.
DIFFICULTIES IN GETTING THERE.
One of Them Left Key West, Florida, Early in Jnne—They Almost Perished on an Obscure Florida Key—A Serious Blow to General Campos Latest Dispatches
From Havana. TAMPA,
Fla., July 31.—The long-de
layed Rntoff expedition, which left Key West early in June, has landed safely in Cuba. Up to the 17th inst. the party was detained on an obscure Florida key, owing to improper instructions given a steamer which was to convey them to Cuba. The provisions they had afforded subsistar.ee for a few days, after which they obtained food from adjacent keys.
A secret messenger service WJIS established with Cuban headquarters at New York via Tampa and arrangements made for rescuing the expedition. The hardships while 011 this island, exposed to the elements, were great, and 23 of the 200 found it unendurable and deserted, making their way to Key West and Tampa, where they were put under the oath of secrecy.
Henry Brooks was identified with the movement at the beginning, but was prevailed upon by his family to leave Cuba. After going to Paris he returned to New York, then came to Tampa disguised as a common soldier. He, with several others, left here in a small schooner, joining the expedition 011 the key shortly before the rescue steamer arrived. After embarking from the key, instead of sailing direct for the northern shore of Las Yegas, they steamed westward, rounding Cape San Antonio, keeping Cuba far beneath the horizon until off the south coast of Santo Espirita, when they made direct for a coast, landing near Les Lunas de Zaza Saturday night.
Colonel Figuredo says that not only will the district of Santa Clara at large rise in arms, but also the province of Matanzas, next to Havana, because both Rotoff and Sanchez have a large following in these provinces. Besides this the large quantities of arms and ammunition taken was what the people there were waiting for. He calculates that in a few days they will have 6,000 men with them. The landing of this expedition is considered as serious a blow to Campos as his defeat at' Valenzuela.
That the expedition remained 40 days on this key, escaping the vigilance of the United States patrol, is due to their excellent organization. The Cuban leaders were constantly afraid the expedition would be detected in its perilous position. The steamer bearing Campos from Valenzuela to Cienfuegos must have sighted the filibustering steamer.
FROM CUBAN HEADQUARTERS. Official Account of tlie Landing of the Expeditions.
NEW YORK, July 31.—From advices received at Cuban headquarters Tomas Estrada Palma and Conguale de Quesada, brother of General de Quesada, have prepared the following statement:
The Cuban revolutionary party has received letters from Cuba announcing the safe landing of the commands of Major General Carlos Rotoff, Brigadier General Jose Maria Rodriguez, chief of staff of General Gomez, and Brigadier General Serafino Sanchez. "The expedition started from Two Keys, in the Bahama islands, and was taken in small boats to several sailing crafts, which conveyed the whole party. Ammunition and arms were in some crafts and the men in others, thus avoiding any danger from captures. "The expedition of Rotoff and Sanchez consisted of 275 men, almost all veterans of the last war. They carried about 300 Winchesters and Remington rifles, besides a number of machetes and revolvers. One boat carried more than 500 pounds of dynamite, two small caniion and 500,000 rounds of ammunition. "The second expedition, under Rodriquez, consisted of 75 picked men, all veterans and mostly officers. It carried about 150 repeating rifles, the same numer of machetes and revolvers and 200,000 rounds of ammunition. The two expeditions landed simultaneously on Thursday last on the southern coast of the province of Santa Clara."
FROM HAVANA BY WIRE.
Dispatches That Have Passed the Government's Censorship. HAVANA,
July SI.—Antonio Reguera
Acea, a wealthy planter of Cienfuegos, Arturo Primellas and Gustavo Gavalld, a journalist, who were arrested a few days ago on board the steamer Humberto Rodrigues, as sympathizers with the insurrection, were yesterday taken to the penitentiary at Ceuta, where they will suffer imprisonment.
The inhabitants of Sabana, the town which was recently burned by insurgents, were obliged to leave the place amid flames and showers of bullets. Some fonnd shelter in the village of Duruja, some went to Ynmuri on the •team launches and others fled to the woods.
The Norwegian steamer Monnger has arrived at Baracoa, bringing many families of refugees from Sabana who have saved nothing but the clothes they wore. The losses by fire are considerable. The town was the center of a wealthy district and contained 20 stores.
A company of soldiers formed an ambuscade atLas Vueltas, near Remedios, and surprised a band of insurgents which had been engaged in cutting telegraph lines. At the first fire two of the insurgents were killed, the remainder escaped.
A detachment of the regiment commanded by Colonel Zamora and a troop of cavalry sent in pursuit of the insurgent band commanded by Zayas overtook the latter near Nuecesvillas and engaged them in battle. After a brisk fight the insurgents dispersed, leaving on the field eight killed. They also abandoned their provisions. Country people assert that in their flight the insurgents carried away many of their wounded comrades. The coming of night prevented the artillery from pursuing the fugitives further.

RACE RIOT IN ALABAMA.
Kt Has Resulted In the Death of Two iHy Sheriff's and a Number of Negroes. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 31.—The mining town of Brookside, 15 miles west of here, is in a state of panic over a race riot which occurred yesterday, resulting in the death of two deputy sheriffs and a number of negroes. The fight, which lusted for over an hour, was between an organized band of white miners, headed by Deputy Sheriffs A. T. Wood and Joel Baxter, who were trying to arrest Jim Biggers, a negro, and a crowd of the latter's friends. "*I| Over 150 shots were tired.
Mine Boss Calverhouse of the Sloss Iron and Steel compauy discharged Biggers for a violation of the mine rules. Biggers remained about the place making threats. He refused to leave the company's premises and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest for trespas^ug. Deputy Sheriff Wood and Special $ :puty John Baxter went to arrest Biggers. As they approached Biggers fired upon them with a Winchester rifle. A bullet passed through Wood's head and another through his heart, killing him instantly. Baxter was mortally wounded, but was able to get back to the camp and give the alarm.
The white miner0 at once organized and went to arrest Biggers. The latter in tlie meantime had called in a namber of his negro friends and when the two parties meta pitched battle resulted, the negroes fleeing to the woods.
It is now said that half a dozen or 1-1 ore negroes were siiot down, several i| whom were killed outright and the «U! of not be leurned. The names of the killed and wounded negroes could not be had.

The town of Brookside is in a state of great excitement, every man in town being armed. Shooting was kept up at intervals for two hours or more.
Late last mglit word reached here from the telegraph operator at Brookside, who is located in his office, that an attack by the negroes is feared.
When the first news of the fight reached here yesterday evening Sheriff Morrow aud Chief of Police McDonald Bummonel all the available officers, and a carload of them started at 11 o'clock for the scene of the riot. It is believed that the arrival of this force of officers will restore quiet, and that no further demonstration will be made by the negroes.
DEFIED THE INJUNCTION.
Actors and Managers Mixed Up in til* Darant Murder Trial. SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.—Judge Murphy's courtroom looked as if the Durant trial was in progress yesterday, but it was not. Instead, the actors and managers of the Alcasar theater held the boards in an endeavor to show why they should not be punished for ceo* tempt for playing "The Crime of Century" in defiance of an order of the court,
The case of Mr. W. R. Daily, the manager of the company, was first called. His attorneys endeavored to show that the play had no reference to the Durant case, but Judge Murphy said it made no difference if they play "Hamlet." the play self cut but little figure, It was the violation of the injunction of the court instead of taking legal means to have tlie injunction set aside that constituted the contempt. The case was not finished, and was postponed until Saturday.
In the meantime Daily will rest in jail unless he can procure bonds. Monday night, when the play was stopped, Daily announced on the stage that the performance would go on as usual, but Judge Murphy made the actors promise that they would make no further attempt to produce the play and they were allowed to go.

A Michigan Town in Danger of Destrne— tion Unless the Winds Change. GLADSTONE, Mich., July 31.—The swaps to the west and northwest of the city below the bluff and in the Goodman additien as well as the marsh lands on both sides of the Soo railway, are burning furiously. The buildings oil the Hammer property, owned by W. D. Washburn Jr., of Minneapolis, were destroyed yesterday afternoon. The timber now on fire is of little value.
The Soo railway has all its available men and apparatus ready in case the1 shops would oatch fire, and in the city every precaution is being taken to prevent the fire getting into the business and residence portions. The wind still remains in the north and is blowing gale, and the smoke in the streets is almost blinding. The fire department has been on duty for fhe past 24 hours wetting down places where fire would be liable to catch from flying embers.
Heavy fires are reported between Sault Ste Marie and Trout lake, but little west of that point.
Unless the wind changes soon it will be almost a. miracle if fires do not start in the city, as everything is dry ae tinder.-
