Officers Martin and Ilanlon of the Ihmmond force visited here on Fridaymorning. Reverend Stewart conducted services yesterday at the Falkenau library on Washington and sixth avenues. Mr. McLain, civil engineer, is building a bungaloo on Euclid avenue, on the site formerly occupied by his tents. Plana were drawn by a competent archtect, and it will undoubtedly be one of th$ best on the avenue. The political speeches on Friday evening were attended by about 150 of the voters here. The inclement weather put a damper on the meeting. Boone and Bomberger were the announced spellbinders. Shortridge, Maack and Cox were called upon to tell why they were visiting here. .Mr. and Mrs. McGrath and daughter, Norma, visited here Saturday morning. Mr. McGrath is intending to purchase property here, and may eventually become a citizen here. Mrs. McGrath seemed particularly pleased with the possibilities, but thought she would rather wait a little while before coming. Mr. Gleason visited his brothers-in-law here Friday afternoon again before leaving for his home in North Dakota, lie had visited the springs property at Porter the day before, and was very enthusiastic over It, declaring it to be the finest bit of natural conditions crowded together into; so smali a place that he had ever seen. M. A. Caldwell took the 2:07 train to Chicago Saturday afternoon attending the early session of the board. Mr. Caldwell is storekeeper for the Steel company, and during the time of getting his work started and arranged he la working almost night and day, the proposition being so large and so entirely foreign to any other work of its kind in similar plants. The Town Board inspected the steel cells on Saturday afternoon, increased the salary of the street commissioner, and decided upon the salaries to be allowed the deputy marshals who are to be appointed. At least two are to be put on in a short time. Another step was taken in the work of improving Broadway south of the Wabash. The salary list was approved, and Mr. Caldwell left to take his train after the adjournment. On- of the structural Iron men was quite badly injured on the north side last week. He was workfng with several others hoisting up the steel trusses. One of them fell a short distance, mashing three of his fingers on his right hand and made a slight scalp wound. He was brought over to the Hotel Fits and Dr. Walsh dressed the wounds. The doctor feared that it might be necessary to amputate one of the fingers, it having been crushed so badly. It has been officially announced by the Michigan Central Railroad company that they will stop two of their trains at Broadway, beginning with Nov. 1. They are the morning train from Chicago, arriving here at s.ii, and the evening train into Chicago, arriving here at 4:55. To this number will be added others as rapidly as they can arrange their schedules end the traffic demands it. This gives us a total of about twenty passenger trains daily now over the B. & Q.. the Lake Shore and the Michigan Central. Jacob Groth. the barber and restaurant man, has purchased property south of the Wabash and is erecting a building there. The Indications are that South Gary will enjoy a more rapid growth than will the part that lies north of the Wabash. At least six buildings are now under process of construction, three of them being nearly ready for occupancy. Others who have purchased there signify their intention of erecting buildings yet this fall. The brick masons put in the chimneys on the school buildings and jail building yesterday. Temporary chimneys had been used until they could got here to do the work. This completes the school buildings, and school will be held in both of them beginning today. The lower grades, from the first to the fourth, inclusive, will occupy the south building, while the larger ones will remain in the first building. Several new families with three and four children in each family have recently moved in, and it is feared that before the winter and spring are over the present quarters will be found inadequate. The school board took care of an unusually large amount of work at their regular session Friday evening. Several new applications had been filed by men from different parts of the state seeking the superintendency of our schools. These were discussed, and action was taken in the matter. There Is no doubt but that within three years or possibly less, the school proposition here will be larger than that of any other city in northern Indiana, even than that of Greater Hammond, should she eventually be persuaded to help along Indiana Harbor. Whiting and Fast Chicago by assuming some of their burdens. C. J. Cooper, one of our pioneers and a classmate of Robert J. Briggs. the deputy prosecutor, and Miss Rehder of Valparaiso, were married yesterday morning in Chicago.

Mrs. Cooper will remain at her former home In Valparaiso until arrangements are made by her husband for suitable quarters here, which will rrobably be about the first of the year. Mr. Cooper is a graduate of the law school at Valparaiso, having come there from his former home in Florida. His people now reside in Cuba, where his father is interested in a newspaper. The romance had its inception at Valparaiso, where Mr. Cooper met his bride while attending school.
