CROWN POINT NEWS Held Special Meeting, The local lodge K. of P's. held a special meeting last Tuesday evening at their rooms In the Allman block. About forty members of the Hebron lodge attended In a body, to hear Grand Chancellor Gass, of the Grand Ladge of Indiana, address the meeting. Mr. Gass spoke for over an hour and entertained the assembly with his logic and humor. Addresses were delivered by Judge "W. C. McMahan and Rev. Dunlavy of the Methodist Episcopal church, after which Caterer Bartholomae spread a feas for the members and visiting brethren. The object of the meeting was primarily to arouse and awaken Interest In the work of that lodge, to Increase its membership, and give it its former record of being one of the most flourishing lodges in the country, and It is the conviction of many of the members that much good will result as .a renewed interest in the lodge is necessary to make it the means to the end of what Pythianlsm stand for.

A petition is being circulated by Fred Slgmund and other property owners living between Bank's ' corner and. the public square on Court street, to connect that strip of road with the free gravel road south and the brick pavement north, under the free gravel road law. It Is said the brick pavement on. the square is the stumbling block to the project and it is doubted if the road can be built. v Jake Steeb, town clerk, Is as busy as " a hornet these days Issuing permits to property owners to connect with the 'sewer mains. It is nothing, for him ; to issue twenty-four or more permite during the day, and anyone who has inspected the red tape and complicated process which has to be transacted before the sewer permit la permitted to be tapped, will agree that the office is quate for the services rendered.. In the first place anyone that taps the sewer that is doing the actual work himself has to give bond for a thousand dollars. Three different seta of papers have to be made out by the j clerk as to number of lots, description of property, depth of sewer, etc., one a permit to the property holder, and the other returned properly signed by inspector to be made record of, and "filed by the clerk. Thus anyone wanting to tap the sewer will have to brace up to the clerk's desk and go through enough formalities to get an audience with the king himself. But then it's got to be "did." There is a petition being circulated among the property owners of South Couth street, asking that, after the free gravel road is put in on said street, there should then be vitrified brick pavement laid, and the cost of this improvement assessed against the property owners on the thoroughfare. The petition is said to be meeting with popular approval with the residents of that "classic thoroughfare," and If the petition goes through, "Ruffle-shirt Hill" will again come into prominence as setting a precedent in the matter of good streets. The merchants of Crown Point, with tho exception of the drug stores and soft drink emporiums, have decided to close their places of business at 6 O'clock every "Wednesday evening beginning with this week and to continue through the summer and take this opportunity to notify their country trade of the fact. Some discussion has been raised to whether the closing of the stores one night a week will hurt the business man's trade among the farming community, but it is thought very little harm will be done, as the farmer as a rule Is a rather considerate person, and will take the matter In the right light and grant his town brother one evening's respite from business and come to town the evening before or after the proposed closing night. George Strabel and family arrived yesterday from Washington, Pa., and they will make their future home here, Mr. Strable opening a meat market and grocery In the remodeled -Grlesel building formerly occupied by the Reitman store. Mr. Straubel has not a very high opinion of the Pennsylvania laws as they are holding his market fixtures there by his landlord's attachment for the balance of a two years' lease, after he supposed he had sold to another party and left everything In a most satisfactory condation. Dick Biefield, the Wells-Fargo expressman, has been fighting with his old enemy, rheumatism, for the last weelc, and has been confined to the house, being a great sufferer most of - the time. - Henry Joern, an employe of the express company, is helping Mr. Biefield out during his Illness. A crowd of the younger married set had a dance in Griesel's hall , last evening. There were "sounds of revelry by night," heard by those who possed the place, but were not fortunate enough to be Inside and those present report a most enjoyable time. Miss Hannah Black went to Hammond this afternoon to attend a. dinner party at. the home of Mrs. Dicken son, given in . honor of the approaching marriage of Miss Carrie B.

ANNUAL ELECTION

OCGURSJTESTERDAY East Chicago Company Gathers For Annual Business Session. HNEHT IN NATIONAL LIFE Robert E. Tod, of New York, Is Again Elected President of Corporation. Indiana Harbor, May 14. (Special.) This city was distinguished yesterday by the presence of some of the most successful business men of the country. These men who have made history In the commercial and industrial life of the nation were there to attend the annual meeting of the stockhold ers of the East Chicago company, which Is the mainspring in the region of i which it is a part. There was no change made in the officers of the company with the ex ception of the active vice president and general manager. Charles W. Hotch kiss resignation was accepted and George W. Ross was elected to succeed him. Mr. Ross was formerly known as manager of the company. Officers Are Elected. The officers stand as follows: President Robert E. Tod, New York. Vice President (active) George "W. Ross, Indiana Harbor. Vice President Potter Palmer, jr.. Chicago. Secretary and Treasurer C. A. Westberg, Chicago. Directors Robert E. Tod, Adrian C. Honore, J. A. Chapman, Honore Palmer, Arthur Young. Matters affecting the future of In diana Harbor in many ways were dis cussed. The big sewer system came in for Its share and In addition to this it was decided to build a large open, drain a mile and a half in length, twenty feet wide at the top and six feet at the bottom, to carry oft the surface wa ter that abounds, from the city limits eastward. The exact location of this. however, is not absolutely decided upon although some plans have been drawn streets, the size of the ditch, etc. showing the topography of certain streets, the size of the ditch, etc Want New District. All of this is with a clew to building up a residence district In Indiana Harbor which will take care not only of the people desiring homes in this cityi but the overflow from Gary which adjoins Indiana Harbor. This means a vast amount of paving and the laying of cement sidewalks and considerable building of homes on the part of the East Chicago company in the territory It Is proposed to develop. Bis Outlay Promised. The aggregate outlay before all Is accomplished will reach up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, but nothing will be undertaken in this line, of course, until the sewer and drain ditch are constructed. What it will mean to Indiana Harbor when these great improvements are undej way it is impossible for the most sanguine to over-estimate. The Calumet region is lacking in residence districts, which accounts for the high rents in the cities of this territory when the mills and other Industries are in operation. The residence district it is proposed to develop is bounded by One Hundred and Forty-first street, Chicago avenue and the Indiana Harbor railroad on tho north, south and west, room being left on the east for further expansion.

TWO C0HS ARRIVE Gary Street Car Line in Operation by June -First. Gary will have a two-car street car line in operation by next Monday. Two of the coaches arrived from Danville yesterday afternoon and have not yet been moved from the flat cars on tho Pennsylvania sidetrack. . From all descriptions the cars arei fine ones. They are forty-three feet long and are said to be modern in . every respect. It is likely that they will be taken out for a trial tomorrow and will begin their regular runs next Monday. It is understood that for the present two cars will be all that will be placed in operation and -will probably be all that will be needed. However, the fact that these two cars are running will be the fulfillment of the company's promise to begin operations by June 1 and half a loaf will be considered by the public to be better than no loaf at alL . The line on Fifth avenue will not be; built for the present for the reason that there would probably not be much, traffic there for some time. Commercial.
