# Remington Notes. #■ About 8 p. m. last Friday the alarm of fire was given here, and it was soon discovered that the fire was in the residence of Mr. Samuel Bowman west of the Christian church on Range line street. Meeting was in progress in the church, but it was only a few minutes before the church audience was at the scene of the fire. The tire company with their engine were soon on the ground, but through neglect in keeping the machine in working order, it was comparatively useless. It was dry, the valves rotted out and before anything could be done with it the fire was beyond control. An immense crowd of people soon gathered at the scene of the conflagration. Mr. Bowman and family having gone from home, and being in attendance at the church and May school which was in session at the M. E. church, the doors were locked. They were at once broken down and the greater part of the furniture and household goods were carried out, but considerably damaged by careless handling. The house, which was a good one, was totally destroyed. Mr. Bowman carried insurance on both his house and contents. The insurance on his house was *BOO, which will not fully cover his loss, however. It is thought that the tire originated from a lamp that was left burning in one of the rooms, which tvas partly turned down when the family went to church. The lamp either exploded or was placed too near some curtains which became ignited. Mr. Bowman will probably rebuild at'once on the same site as he has a beautiful location for a family residence. The inconvenience in the meantime is very great and certainly quite annoying.
A Mr. Williams of Illinois and Miss Jednie Hawn were married last Wednesday morning at 8 o’clock at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Philip Hawn, Rev. Mr. Mikel, the M. E. pastor, performing the marriage ceremony. The bride is a successful school teacher of many years’ experience, and the groom a polished gentleman and scholar, engaged in business in Illinois. There were many invited guests, friends and associates of the bride, present at the wedding who presented the bride with many beautiful, useful and costly presents. The newly wedded pair left Remington on the 9:39 a. m. train for Peoria, 111., amid showers of rice, and carrying with them the good will and best wishes of their friends for future happiness and prosperity. The North-western High School Athletic association meet was held at our faiy grounds on Friday, May 8; and the sports were participated in by the Monticello, Fowler, Goodland and Remington high schools. The school exhibits were placed in the ladies’ hall and were highly creditable to all the schools. Monticello carried off the palm in all the departments except the third grade which fell to Remington, taught by Miss Deischell. In justice to both the other schools competing it is but right to inform our readers that the Goodland and Remington schools exhibited the work of each and every pupil, while Monticello had on exhibition the best w T orks of their most apt pupils. The athletic events resulted as follows: Ist—* 100 yard foot race, dash, Good■land, (McCurry,) Ist, Monticello 2nd, Fowler 3d; 2nd, —throwing 16 lb. shots Remington, (Milner) Ist, Goodland 2nd; running single jump, Monticello Ist.

Every one present enjoyed the entertainment hugely, and about dusk the meeting broke up and all returned to town where they witnessed the bicycle parade, by lamplight, which was beautiful in the extreme. Mrs. Graham, who has been so long sick, is gradually growing worse, and it how seems only a question of a few days when she will be released from the pains and troubles of her dreadful disease. ••
Young Mr. Henry Brook, four miles south of town, who lias been dangerously ill for several days, is at present reported to be improving nicely. Martin McNett of Rensselaer, formerly of Remington, has, through the agency of Ira W. Yeoman, pension attorney, been granted a pension of *l2 a month from March, 1893. This will give him about 8225 on the first payment which will be made at once, and he will draw regularly *l2 per month in the future. We are pleased at Bro. MciNett’s good fortune as lie is entirely worthy.
Our well men have now bored to a depth of over 250 feet. They have found , some water but not yet enough for our system of water works. Postmaster Honan of Rensselaer, was perambulating the streets of Remington one /lay last week. The weather still continues fine and very warm. A trip to the country reminds one of his conception and readings of Pardise. The scenery is simply enchanting. If you wish to see the finest shaded town in Indiana just now come over to Remington and we guarantee that you will see it. During the fire last Friday night some enterprising fellow citizens kicked out a window light in the rear of J. F. Ellis’ saloon, and then opened the door, tapped the till and received about 83.50 as a rewai’d for his enterprise, besides, perhaps, tapping his beer kegs and sampling other beverages. Nothing further than the money was missed. Mr. Ellis and his bar tender were both a't the fire. No clew. Commencement exercises passed off quietly and the graduates acquitted themselves creditably.
Jordan Township.
Farmers have planted a great deal of corn most of which'is up. Oats are looking well. Hanging May baskets is the greatest pleasure of the young people at the present time. James Anderson of Remington was in this vicinity a few days ago. James Hyatt of this vicinity made a business trip to Barkley township last week. The singing entertainment at Mr. Wortley's was largely at tended and all report a good time. Elliot Burr had a run away last week but no damage was done. Mr. Powell and his partner, the great hunters pf Foresman, were in this vicinity a short time ago. B. T. and D.
Henry Aldrich
Died at his home in Renssel aer, Ind., Wednesday, May 13th 1895. aged seventy-five years six months and eleven days. The funeral will be held at Trinity M. E. Church, Friday, May 15th, at 10 o'clock a. m., Rev. R. D. Utter conducting the religious services. Interment in Weston cemetery.
Municipality Organized.
The last session of the town board met at the city hall Monday evening and after the form-ality-of approving the ereden tials of the new officials the new officals took charge of the newly organized city, J. M. Wasson, who presided, at this last meet ing made a few remarks nicely modulated to the occasion and gracefully asked Mayor McCov to take the chair. The many present were somewhat disappointed in not hearing an inaugural address by the executive of the City of Rensselaer. On drawing lots', as the law prescribes, the long and short terms for the councilmen were determined. Messrs. Alter Spitler and Right being the unfortunates who drew the four year terms. The SSOOO bond of Thomas McGowan, marshal, bears the names of Wallace Robinson, Geo. E. Marshall. M. F. ChilcoteRobert Randle and M. L. Spitler. The council is to meet the second and fourth Monday nights in each month. J. W. Childers was hired at s‘2o to act as night watch. A docket and statutes were ordered purchased for the mayor's use as police magistrate. There was considerable unfinished business. The new marshal's attention was called to a healthy patch of Canada thistles within the municipality and he was directed to look after their harvest at once. It was stated that there was S7OOO in the hands of the treasurer last month. The treasurer’s bond was fixed at S2O, 000, the statute requiring that it shall be at leust twice the amount taxes to be collected as shown by the tax duplicate. Mr. Starr was not present and his bond will not be acted upon until the next meeting. The mayor's bond was fixed at s.'looo. the lowest allowable under the statute, and as he had anticipated the action of the board and provided one, it was placed on tile and will be submitted to the comity clerk for his approval. The sureties on this bond are Tlie clerk's bond sos SSOO was accepted as presented the securities being J. F. Irwin and J. F. Warren* A goodly number of citizens attended the meeting to witness the installation of the new offleiuls, probably fifty seats being occupied. Without disparagement to any member of the council, the prediction is ventqjed that Alderman Spitler will make his personality felt, during his whole term of office. He is well up in parliamentary pract ice, has a clear understanding of tinlaw. and a tine sense of the fitness of things generally. A conspicuous feature of the first ses sion of the city council was the evident lack of preparation made by the several members. Few seemed to have a very comprehensive understanding of the work to be done and the way to go about it. Sessions of the city council should be conducted with such decorum and correct parliamentary usage as to give the proceedings the dignity pertaining to so august a body of law makers. If effort is made to always have the deliberations carried on with precision and order, the meeting will prove a valuable object lessons to all who attend. The next meeting will decide on the acceptance of Mr. Bostwick's proposition to be made city engineer, He proposed to work for the city at the rate of $3.00 per day for actual time employed, and to make no charge for lefes than a fourth of a day. Mr. Bostwick has an equipment of instrument costing SSOO or more and is a competent man. The suggestion that the members of the council and mayor serve without compensation was received with favor, but as the law allows a month in which to fix salaries, no discussion of the sub ject was made. The fire department will be instructed to recommend a chief and two assistants, who are to be appointed by the council, and who will be clothed with police powers. One of the first things the council should do is to adopt Roberts rules of order. An t.rdiance should be passed at once to prevent fast bicycle riding on the streets, and require that wheels be provided with lamps after dark. Fast driving of horses should also be prohibited.
