'The friendship between the -two was a sort of inheritance on both sides, the families of the contracting parties having known each other even before the principals to this pretty romance met. , Rev. Bradshaw's secret became known to some of the members of hia congregation, when he asked for a leave of absence for a couple of weeks. Somebody suspected, and accused him of being upon matrimony bent, and Rev. Bradshaw admitted the soft. Impeachment. The news then circulated

(Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor, June 16. Comparatively few people in Indiana Harbor, outside some of the members of the Baptist church, realized that when Rev. E. O. Bradshaw took a train for the east after services last Sunday night.
he was going to attend his own wedding. Such was however, the case, and when the clergyman returns June 30, it will be as a benedict. His marriage takes place today in Ironton, Ohio, his bride being Miss Emma Burton, a school teacher in the Ohio town, whom
Gary Eagles have everything in
readiness to open their carnival which
begins on Monday June 20 and lasts
until Saturday night June 25. The Herbert Kline Carnival company will furnish the attractions. ' The site will be on the vacant block of ground on the east side of Broadway and just south of the Victoria hotel. Here the tended city will be and Gary's first carnival will take place on the grounds which are adapted for the purpose. In a day or so electricians will begin to string the 1200 electric lights . which will illuminate the grounds. ' Among the features will be the model city, an oriental show, several circuses, other attractions and a wild west show. A bi-plane airship and a ferris wheel will also be on hand to furnish amuse

He was not an Elk and had he been so ' he couldn't help for the car was not scheduled to go for two minutes. This gave time to the enterprise ing bailiff to take Mr. Schaeffer in tow

rear of the platform yelled back to him: "Ha! Ha! look at poor Schaeffer. Don't weep you can come next year." This morning when the Elks returned they gave glowing accounts of last night's stag party and the good things to eat and how fine the mineral water was. This made Mr. Schaeffer all the madder as he was little off temper on account of his detention as a Juror. Today is any man should say tha
GROW!! POINT MEN , ANXIOUS ABOUT
(Special to The Times.) Crown Point, Ind., June 16. That some concerted action should be taken by Crown Point citizens on Friday evening, at the council meeting at Gary, relative to the securing of the Gary & Southern franchise is apparent, and it has been voiced bv- Crown Point
business man that a committee of representative business men from this place journey to Gary to attend the meeting and present the county seat claims anent a franchise for the Seamen road Something definite should be done in the matter at the meeting Friday evening, and there are many in Crown Point who would rather see the whole proposition knocked in the head right away than to have the negotiations
continue only to meet with failure in the end. What ever action is taken
will not alter the situation relative to the fight to be made by the county seat citizens for interurban connections, and as It has been repeatedly intimated, if Gary does not want and court street car connections with Crown Point, the citizens here will bend and redouble their efforts to establish the same with Hammond and the no-"iwest part of the county. Crovy.i Point should be represented by all means by a committee of interested citizens at the council meeting at Gary booked for Friday night.

East Chicago, June 16. Ed Rose and
Alexander t risco, erstwhile members
or inier iewis ponce aepartment, are ' out of a job. And thereby hangs a tale. . j On Sunday night the two officers j butted into a fight in Olcott avenue just off Chicago avenue. The fight was between Frank Alt and "Tommy" Stirling and the officers waded into the crowd with drawn clubs commanding it to disperse, and preparing to do their duty by the fighters. "Aw, come off! Can't you let 'em alone and let 'em fight it out?" com
plained one sporty bystander who was enjoying the little go and looked upon
the officers as rank outsiders who were merely "breaking something up."
Apparently all that the policemen
needed was a- little encouragement.
They too hadf sporting" blood in their veins and enjoyed a merry bout. It
would be a shame to spoil the little mill, so the officers relented and satisfied their consciences by merely keeping the crowd back, while Stirling and Alt proceeded to "have it out."
This would hae been all hunky dory if Chief of Police Albert Lewis had only kept out of it. He came along in his automobile and he too noticed the crowd which was watching the fight. He also took notice that two
officers in uniforms were the most eager spectators of the fray, and were applauding the loudest, while they occasionally waved their clubs and said "keep back," in stentorian tones. It did not take Chief Lewi3 long to get in the game. He alighted from his machine, arrested the two beligerents, and ordered the sheepish faced officers to report to him next day. They did so and receied their walking papers.

(Special to The Times.) East Chicago, June 16. What has become of the water wagon which should be laying the dust of the business street in East Chicago? What has become of it? Why, It is enjoying a little vacation.
It is over at South Bend getting renovated. It needs paint and a new tire or two and several other things. In the mean time business men of
East Chicago, professional men who occupy offices in the heart of the city, and residents along these thoroughfares, to say nothing of the general publio which is forced to transact business inside the district, are obliged to put up with the hurricanes of dust which possess the streets. When Street Commissioner Harding was asked concerning the delay in bringing forth the water wagon, he
gives surly answers. Being most tenderly and delicately approached over the phone on the subect by a representative of The Times. Mr. Harding declared that he had no time to discuss
the matter, and if anybody wanted to know about that wagon, they would
better spend their own time coming to
his office.
Maledictions are being heaped on Mr.
Harding's head. The people want to know. If the water wagon is at South
Bend, why is this thus? They com
plain that the street commissioner has been In office long enough to have discovered that the wogan needed repairing away last winter. That this time of the year is no good time Ho give the much needed cart a lay-off, and that a stret commissioner who is no more "onto" his job than not to know this should give up his job. Oh, there is no end to the mean things they are saying about Mr. Harding, where he has heretofore been regarded as a reasonably nice little man, his reputation is now being turn to smithereens. That Is to say, his reputation as a nice little street commissioner. Merchants exhibiting goods in their show windows find it exceedingly difficult to keep even a semblance of cleanliness about their exhibits, and
when it comes to displaying anything on the sidewalks. It is little short of
ruinous.
Hut the greatest inconvenience is suffered by persons obliged to traverse
the streets and sidewalks. They-are
