TUESDAY, JULY 31, 1906. Gary News Fitzgerald Brothers hotel is being put up in record time. The siding is nearly all on and the inside work will soon be begun. The Hungarian restaurant is now adorned with a large sign on either side of the entrance setting forth their business. They have home cooking and sell cigars and soft drinks. It is expected that the furniture for the postoffice will arrive today. This will greatly lighten the labors of the postmaster and his assistant, as they are handicapped owing to the lack of furniture. The paving of Broadway instead of being with brick as was at first re ported, is to be of granitoid. Al though comparatively new, this prep aration has been thoroughly tried in other places and found to be emi nently satisfactory for paving, being much like asphalt in that it is dustpresents a smooth surface, but wears much better than asphalt. Washington street is being cleared preparatory to grading south of Fifth avenue. Adams street is now being graded north of Fifth avenue and Jefferson street is completed to the north and a large amount of work has been done to the south of Fifth avenue. More work will probably be required on Eighth avenue than any other street as it happens that the line of the street runs along a ridge which must be graded down to the level of the other streets. Mrs. Hay has been quite ill for a few days but was somewhat better last evening when Mr. Hay left. She is staying in Whiting for the present but as soon as Mr. Hay can complete the necessary arrangements, she will move here also. Mr. McLain took charge of Mr. Hay's place during George's absence and aside from a feeling of emptiness experienced by the ice cream can, everything was in apple pie order when Mr. Hay reMessrs Knotts and Bomberger of Hammond attended our first board meeting last evening. Mr. Bomberacted as attorney to the board, offering suggestions and advice as to various matters, taking care that all that was done should be in acwith the law governing these things. A. F. Knotts advised the board as to the wishes of the steel company along various lines. After the board meeting Messrs Knotts and Bomberger left by speedfor Millers Station. Last evening marked the beginof our corporate history. The board of trustees met at 8 o'clock at the postoffice building and held their first session. The meeting was more for the formal organization than anyelse. Thomas E. Knotts, trusfrom the second ward was elected to the presidency of the board. Indiscussions concerning variordinances, the securing of the supplies for records and their keepand the wishes of the steel comas to certain matters, occupied the remainder of the time. Before adjourning it was decided that the regular meetings of the board should be on Saturday afternoon of each week, until it is found more convenito hold them at some other time. The work of preparing ordinances, and resolutions and other matters incidental to the first work is being pushed rapidly and these will be gradually made a part of the records of our town.

GAMES FOR TODAY. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Washington at Chicago. Philadelphia at Detroit. New Yok at Cleveland. NATIONAL LEAGUE. Chicago at Philadelphia. St. Louis at New York. Pittsburg at Brooklyn. Cincinnati at Boston. Spuds Give Home Run Ta, Ta. Yesterday's victory in which the Spuds defeated Boston by the score of 5 to 2 enabled Chicago to chalk up a shutout for the series. In the eighth inning a bad accident happento Evers, who was running tosecond after a hot grounder when it bounced up unexpectedly and struck him in the eye. The will-be champions who have now swelled their percentage to nearly .700 will leave for Philadelphia with greater confidence than ever. It was the usual story of errors and runs that won the game and as a parting token of his regard Captain Frank lifted the ball over the left field fence in the ninth and scored a home run. Strange Error Prvents Shutout. Sullivan's three bagger with two men on bases started things for the White Sox and added three scores to the one which had been secured in the first inning and cinched the third game of the series for Chicago. One of the most unusual errors of the season occured when Sullivan, the Chicago catcher tossed the bail back to Pitcher Owen and the ball struck the rubber marking the bounline of the box, thus enabling Patton who was on first to scamper to second and eventually score Washonly talley. Patten going to third on Altizer's out and scoring on Stanley's hit to right. Score, 4 to 1. Denver Man Wants Clabby. Nearly every one who saw Kid Clabby box with Batling Nelson rethat he made a remarkgood showing, but even Clabby himself, had no idea that he had made more than a passing impression on the lightweight champion. The other day Clabby received a letter from Nelson in which Batler said he had interested a pugilistic manin the Hammond man, who would soon write to Clabby, enclosa railroad ticket to Cripple Creek and money to pay all of the other expenses of the trip, if he would agree to go west and start training under this man.

NEWS FOR PRINTERS A young printer named Cava of Italy has invented a method of typeby telegraph, which he thinks will revolutionize the transmitting of messages.

The experiments are said to have been completely successful.
