Building Operations After a Month of Quiet Resumed With New Vigor are springing up every day. Architect Erickson Busy.

TOLLESTON

Plans for Residences and Flats Are the Order of the Day. Although the building situation, according to the opinion of the local architects, has been dull during the past month, yet the present status indicates that there will be a general revival in Gary from now on. As every day passes Gary is becoming more and more the city of homes. A trip through the residential section of the city and south end will show that new residences l:i

a $300.00 pmno for $50.00 They are going to move to another city and they don't want to carry so much furniture with them. They have a standard make piano which cost $300.00 a year ago. Willing to sacrifice it for $50.00 spot cash, if bought this week. Are you able to snap up a bargain like this when you see it? Its a shame to have to let such a money saving opportunity escape you when you want so hard to take advantage of it. You could easily pay the $30.00 in installments of $3.00 or $10.00 a month perhaps, but the other fellow wants the full amount. Why not get the full amount from us, turn it over to the man who wants to sell, and then pay us at the rate of five or ten dollars a month? Isn't this the sensible thing to do? Opportunities such as we have mentioned are happening right along, but those who are unable to profit by them on account of not having the ready cash, do not always think of coming to people like us to help them out. And to such persons we want this advertisement to serve as a reminder. We advance money privately on furniture, pianos, horses, wagons, etc., and the property remains in your possession. You can get the money within a few hours time, sometimes within an hour. Compare our rates with others. You will find our payments easier, the cost lowest, and our service the best. Ask about the larga rebate if the account Is paid before it Is. due. We give you a statement of your account showing all details.

The building will be a two-story brick structure absolutely fireproof, and will be used for storage purpost-s.

GROWS OUT OF TRAIN WRECK SDMfEABS AGO Disastrous Rear-End Collision at LaPeer, Mich., Resulted in Death of Twenty-Seven People and Injury of Hundred Others Valuable Trained and Wild Animals Killed. A damage suit for $125,000, the biggest ever brought in northern Indiana, was filed yesterday afternoon in the Porter circuit court by Attorneys Fetterrer and Hall of tJary, in which the Wallacf- Show company seeks to recover from the Grand Trunk Railway company that amount for ttie destruction of his cars and anmials in a wreck which occurred on this road July 7, 1303. This rear-end collision, near the town of LaPeer, Mich., was one of the most disastrous In current history. Twenty-seven persons were killed and a hundred seriously wounded, many .of the circus, cars were demolished, and dozens of elephants, camels, lions and other valuable trained arid wild animals were killed outright. In addition to Attorneys Fetterer and Hall of Gary, the firm of Mclntyre and Mulligan of Chicago are interested in the case. This firm orginally brought suit in the United States federal court at Indianapolis and after it had been pending for several years was finally thrown out because that court did not have jurisdiction. The local firm was then engaged and a new complaint, which was filed yesterday, was drawn up in Gary. Hcnr-K.iul Colllniun. Although the accident happened in

Michigan, it was possible to file the case in any county In any state through which that road traversed. The voluminous complaint contains eightyfour closely typewritten pages, of which there are six paragraphs of complaint. The case was filed in the name of the circus, Benjamin B. Wallace. The complaint states that the wreck occurred on July 7, 1903. The train, composed of passenger cars, stock cars and flat cars to the number of thirtysix, running In two sections from Trowbridge to LaPeer, and that at the City of Durand the first section of the train stopped at the depot in tho middle of the night. Flagmen were sent back to stop the second section of the train to place torpedoes ore the track. The breaks on the engine of the second sec

tion, being defective, however, the train was unable to stop and crashed Into the rear of the first section. The engineer had previously reversed and jumped, saving his own life. The lives of . many others, however, were snuffed out and many were badly bruised and injured. The scene was one of the most terrible ever witnessed. Wild animals, whose cages had been broken open, escaped and ran about the city. Others terribly injured moaned and howled and this, together with the cries of the humans, made the horror undescribable. One of the fJrentent Shows Today. The actual damage to animals, tents, wagons, equipment and cars was estimated at $100,000. The other $25,000 asked for was for the loss in advertising and billing towns which they were unable to appear In by reason of the accident, and for the profits which they lost in not giving the exhibitions. The "Great Wallace Show," as it Is called, after the wreck purchased the Hagenback circus and proceeded on their trip through the country. Today they have one of the biggest shows in the country and have been all over the world since the accident. They are now in the vicinity of Denver and moving towards Chicago. The name of the circus is familiar to millions of people throughout the civilized world. RADBOURNE'S FATHER DEAD Bloomington, 111., Aug. 4.

FROM PAGE THREE. NELSON SCORES A KNOCKOUT Philadelphia, Aug. 4. Battling Nelson, champion lightweight pugilist, is as tickled today as the tramp that slept in the Astor bed. The fighter scored what he calls a "clean cut victory" over an exclusive hotel here last night. "I ran over here last night to do a little publishing business," said Nelson, "and Incidentally, I put one over on a swell hotel. You remember some time ago, when I came over here and registered 'B. Nelson, Hegewisch, 111.?" I got the 'polite office' at the desk towit: " 'Sorry, but we're all full. In the course of an hour's time we may fix you up.' I returned in about an hour and Inquired for a room and was told the same thing that they handed me earlier in the evening. "Last night I put one over them by wiring a friend of mine to secure a room for me in advance, which he did, and paid for. When I came over I got the key and went to my room and dictated to the hotel stenographer. I was not discovered for an hour, as there was quite a crowd downstairs when I came in. It happened that all the bellhops were busy. I was therefore overlooked.
