Manager F. L. Hess and players representing the Unity Council Baseball nine and other city teams attended the meeting. Through the medium of J. J. Malloy. they notified the council that the playing of ball Is almost impossible under the existing conditions at Harrison Park, the only available diamond In the city of Hammond. They recommended that it be bedded with clay along the baselines and covered with a coating of black dirt in th'e Interior. This will be done. A Conflicting; Ordinance. An ordinance restricting the railroads from parking engines or cars near a crosijing for over five minutes if the view of approaching trains Is v thereby obstructed was carried over -for - weond reading -when Lairor and Eastwood voted "No." It also has a clause making it unlawful for en

gineers or ' firemen to ring bells 3r blow whistles while stationary. The fine .Is from $10 to $100. The ordinance will repeal another ordinance that is almost identical. The first law has not' been enforced. It provides a fine for railroads and railroaders when bells and whistles are blown except in case of emergency, to avoid an accident. Two rending;' Salt.

It had been advertised that the. parties were to be there and voters from those districts felt grieved. . Another One. Last evening it is said that a number of citizens experienced a similar disappointment but it was hardly the fault of the council for the Intention of the party was not advertised. All this can be avoided, certain councilmen say. If the motion for adjournment is left with the mayor who is in a position to know what is before the body and who of the visitors wishes to be he"d. It is natural that : guests should be timid obout "butting ; In" with out an introduction from he mayor.

Few of the guests at the Brocken-brough-Mott wedding at Lafayette last Soturday evening, when they saw the 'charming bride at the altar and later among her friends, realised that she was suffering under a mental strain not usually incident to such an occasion. As the bride inarched up the aisle to the altar, she noticed the absence of her beautiful diamond circlet from her hand. The ring is valued at 1700. She was immediately convinced that she J must have lost it in some inexplicable I way. A quiet search of the home after j the church ceremony only served to i increase her anguish but her smiling face among her friends did not betray any of this. Her grief was turned to joy however when the ring was restored to her. A negro employed about the church building where the wedding' had taken place the day before found it on the lawn near the church door. Nobody is able to explain how it got there. The newly weds were already speeding toward New York for their European honeymoon Uhen the discovery was made, but a telegraph message overtook them conveying the good news. Funeral Services. Sad funeral services over the remains of James and David Morrow, two Lansing brothers who were drowned In the old clay hole last Monday afternoon, were held at Neidow's chapel this morning, where the Rev. Wild officiated at 10 o'clock. Interment was made in two single graves at Oak Hill cemetery. A Sister and step-brother from Chicago were present, including a large .number, of friends.
