The plana for the arcade building to be built on the east side of Broadway near Fifth avenue, are practically ready for submission to contractors for bids on the building. Those familiar with the plans speak very highly of the proposed building and say that It promises to excel anything now under construction. The Gary Construction company expects to have all of the grading on Broadway completed by the end of another week. This is taking a little longer than the original estimate of thirty days, but part of their energies have been directed toward the actual work of paving Itself so that they have in reality made larger progress than was expected. The lading of the tile roof on the hotel building at Broadway and Sixth avenue is about completed. This part of the work has gone forward rapidly.

done. Concrete steps and approaches are being put in and the general details are being rapidly cleaned up for the completion of the entire job.

The Gary Land company has under preparation plant3 for one hundred houses to be erected west of Broadway. The plans will be ready now within a few. days and contractors bids will then be received for their construction. It is the intention that they shall be ready for occupancy by the early winter. The hundred under construction by the F. J. Schmidt Brothers company are rapidly nearing completion, most of them having received their se'eral coats of paint and part of the Interior decorations. The discussions among local business and professional men concerning the information about how the stock of the Gary and Interurban company is held, leaves no uncertainty in their opinion of the purpose of the entire matter. A rumor lias been persistently current here for several days that bonding houses on LaSalle street have been approached with a view of financing the traction lines for the Interurban company but have declined to consider the matter after a superficial investigation revealed the facts. The general public is skeptical about the company allowing the situation to be tied up for three years as promised. There seems to be an impression that the situation will be taken care of In some manner no matter what turn affairs take. TOLLESTON NEWS Miss Matilda Deidle was shopping in Chicago yesterday.

GRIFFITH HAS BID

FEB FOUNDRY Engine in Burning Building Pumps Water to Put Out Flames Around It. (Special to Lake County Times.) Griffith, Ind.. Aug. 10. The B. B. Potter Co's. Foundry and Manufacturing plant caught fire yesterday, Friday, evening, about S o'clock, and destroyed j the foundry and part of the engine room, before the flames were gotten under control. Much of the valuable machinery was removed from the manufacturing part of the plant, but it proved needless, for by the prompt as sistance of the people in the vicinity, the flames were beaten back and held in the foundry. Xo one hos any clew as to the cause of the fire. A heat had just been run off just before closing at 6 o'clock, but Superintendent Helfin scouts the idea of that being the cause. When first seen by Henry Dutton, who gave the alarm, the fire was just beginning to burst through the roof and it was found that the interior was a mass of flames. The loss is variously estimated at from $3,000 to $3,000, but nothing can be definitely determined until it is known how much the cupola and ma chinery was damaged by the heat. The building is a total loss. There is some insurance, but Just how much. Superintendent Helfin did not say. One striking feature in the fight against the flames Is the fact that the engine and pump was set to going and continued to pump away serenely furnishing water to put out the fire even when the flames were all about it. It seemed strange to look into the raging furnace and hear the steady click of the pump as it worked to save itself and the rest of the plant. St. ru ill's Episcopal church, 35 TMmbac havenue. Rev.
