ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP ITT'CABE.

Probably Follow.

Mr McCabe is an old citizenand prop erty owner, and while he does not, as a rule, carry much money with him, yet had about fifty dollars on his person when he left the teed store of Garrett Gillispie for home last night. Instead of going home his usual way, down Pennsylvania street to the railroad and then west, he went up Main to Mechanic street and then turned south. Afrer crossing the railroad and near the cooper shop, some one stepped out aud grabbed him, and at almost the same instant another stepped up and put his hands over his eves, when the first man relinquished his hold aud began to feel for his pockets, but the old gentleman began to yell murder in tones that could have been heard a mile away, and when the neigh'ois began to open their doors the trieves took to their heels and ran up Osage .street-, much to the satisfaction of Uncle John. In the scuffle he received several scratches about the fac?, but succeeded in retaining his money.

The parties were seen by several of the neighbors as they ran down the street, who think they recognized them, and the description givep by Uncle Johu tallies to a dot. In all probabilities arrests will follow, and they should, for there have been several parties held up near this place and the officers have determined to put a stop to it.

CITY COUNCIL.

Very Little Business—Keport of the City Board of Health.

The Council met in regular session last night in the Council Chamber. Their session was short, as there was nothing of importance transacted outside of the letting of the East Main street sewer. There were three bidders, and the Middletown paving company of Middletowu. Ohio was the lowest, and the contract was awarded to said company. Eight inch tile at 47 cents and 10 inch at 49 cents per lineal foot.

After this came a resolution repealing and recinding the actiou of the Council heretofore taken on the report: of the final estimate of the City Civil Eugineer on the improvement of East street, Pratt street, Walnut street, Spring street and West North street, and referred each to a committee to meet at the Council Chamber on the 13th day of January, 1896, to hear grievances »nl n-i-oic back to the Council. The pub.n: doubt, have heard complaint from property holders on the various street*, that the., haven't had the opportunity to take under the Barrett law, and this action of the Council will now give them the priv ilege of taking under that law if they like. REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE CITY

BOARD OF HEALTH

To the Hon. Mayor aud Common Council: Daring the year ending this date there has been reported to this office 76 births, 45 deaths, 45 cases of diphtheria and 75 cases of measles.

Death occurred in 5 cases of typhoid fever, 3 cases of dysentry and 10 cases ot diphtheria. "As near as we are able to ascertain by communicating with all of the physicians of the city, there were 40 cases of typhoid fever and 36 cases of dysentery during tbe past year.

The mortality in these two diseases was very small, showing a rather mild form of the disease, there being five deaths from typhoid fever and three from dysentery.

Careful inquiry into all the cases of typhoid fever and dysentery elucidates the important fact that not a stigle case oi either disease occurred in families using city water. This demonstrates that our city water is certainly free from contami nation and is absolutely pur/ Many of our physicians assert that run th^ir observations they are sati-fied 'hat our water is not only pure and *h iesoru«', but contains medical properties, uraiive in stomach and bowel troubles, such as indigestion, dyspepsia aud constipation.

If this Council deserves credit for their unselfish donation to the interests of the city of Greenfield, tbe city •i att-r works stanSs as a monument to your good judgment—a »mark of wisdom which &>ch should feel justly pfoud of, for man's efforts can be put to no better or nobler use than that of saving t:ie life, health and property of his fellow men. to condemn all premises on whiskey alley and put (this thoroughfare in unobjectionable condition.

We av hope to be able to condemn

Always Sign Your Name To A CoiimiUB.J caation.

It is such a well known fact that to secure recognition in a newspaper office,,'! communications must be signed by the writer. The name will not be published I unless the writer so desires, but th' editor must know the name, so that re sponsibility may be lodged some where Unsigned communications are becoming too numerous of late, aud in nine casee I out of teu they attack some ones character or actions. If it is a personal matter between the writer and the pw- I .-on attacked, the newspaper and th? gen- ?J ral public care nothing about the controversy. Go to the person and settle your difficulties privately without HIempting to draw others in and be suielded yourself. Unsigned communicatioLs will be consigued to the capacious mouth of the waste basket.. The REPUBLICAN received a communication ou Thursday attacking two rhree of our citizens it was headed Protection, but as no name was signed it wa^ not considered. A.
