INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATED

SPITE OF

All Morning Sports Were Spoiled, but Races, Ball Game and Fireworks Were Held.

After over a month of preparation and the expenditure of several hundred dollars for a Fourth of Jul celebration in- Plymouth, Jupiter Pluvius handed us a lemon, and it rafined. From early in the morning until supper time it rained. Without cessation, constantly, damply, anid chillingly, the clouds covered this vicinity, and it continued to rain.' All at rhe morning sports mere impossible, the street races, (peakiin:g. parade, music and all, were suspended. Fof a whil'e the Bremenu Argos and Plymouth bands, stood -a the rain, and tried to play some cheerful a'irs, but nix for old Pluvius, still it rained. J Then the mtuicianLS felt the oncoming' influenza, and whEIe et wjrofimied to tain they sought shelter, some rhc tall and1 uncut, and others the band room. In the afternoon the races and iball game were executed is per schedule: .The race track was heavy, and tfhe time much slöwer tha. dry weather would1 have permitted, but seme very good races were pulfled off, nevertheless. In a rain, that varied fron a mist, to a rather brisk sprinkling the Clippers and the Hammond Colts played Iball. The game was good, the errors being f;w considering the wet "diamond. The locals won the game by the svore of four to three. The game was" interesting and ckse throughout. In the WRECK VICTIMS GET $100,000 SOUTH SHORE INTERURBAN CO. SEEKS TO SETTLE WRECK CLAIMS. Money Is Raised by Stock Holders of Road at South Bend May be Change of Management. Payment: of. alL- claims for damages arising out of the recent South Shcre suburban wreck in iwhkh a dozen lost their lives ,is assured without litigation by the raising of a fund of $100,000 yesterday by nineteen stockholders of the road at South Berxl. At the same time came rumors to the effect that there will be a change in the management of the road, looking towards, more care in the operation cf its affairs. The action o the stockholders was taken to .save money in extensive litigation. They realize that the road which is practically a South Bend concern, working under an Ohio charter, has nothing to pay claims and is virtually insolvent. They therefore 'have contributed the sum named and all claims will be paid at once. Foivr compromises have already been made, calling for an expenditure of over $20,000. One of the largest sum to be paid will go to .Mrs. II. A. Hut-son, and three children, of Niles, iMich. Their husband and father was killed in. the wreck a-ud the sum to be paid $6,000 to the widow, and $5,0O0, $.,050 and $3,H9 to the children respectively, are based upon the value of the father's aid to them had he lived. The South fiend stockholders say all will be treated fairly," (but that if such compromises -were refused, the road must go into the hands of a receiver. The capital of the Chicago, South Bend & Lake Shore Road is $f),Mo,0(M), but i: has all been, spent in -onstT'tction, etc. The line ha been doinfg "a good business, but the receipts have not reached a paying state. The interest on the great mortgage covering the roads property has been overdue for three years This and all other considerations led the South Ben-! stockholdes, to take the tep referred to in order to pave the way to final success and compromi?e without costly litigation. Mrs Pearl Shearer. viMrs. Pearl 'Shearer, one of the oldest residents of this city, died at the home of -her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Harois in west 'Plymouth Wednesday night, aged 75 years.

MADE AN OFFICIAL GRAFT.

Governor Marshall's Probing Shows Conditions in Jeffersonville Reformatory. Indianapolis, June 30. TQie investi gation -started by Governor Marshall into rumors Of irregularities in comnecteon with the management of the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville has disclosed what' some Hoosiers might call a "tolerably fair" official scandal, and the summary dismissal of Assistant Superintendent Barnard has confirmed the rumors and brought out die fact that the investi gation is to be carried further. Throtvgh some means, not known to the puJblic, the governor learned that Barnard was receiving a salary of $100 per month from one of the contractors at the prJsoni cn addition to the salary paid him by the state and that this arrangement had been in effect for six years. It also developed that the wives of Superintendent Whittaker and Assistant Superintendent Barnard had received Christmas presents of diamond rings from one of the contractors . Late in April, after Whittaker had Ibeen -urged by friends to do so he returned the Ting that Mrs. VYh-lttaker had received, but 'Mrs. Barnard has. hers yet. The charge of Barnard being in the pay of the contractor was made by Superintendent Whittaker and it has since developed that Barnard was also a borrower from the contractor to the extent of $1,000. Barnard had the assignment of the convicts to contractors and could select the best and strongest men for work under any contractor he pleased. Thfe would make his co-operation very valuable to a contractor, and it is assumed that it was in this way fhat he earned the $100 per month. Dr. Sharp, who recently, was apKfinted a trtrstee and who has charge of the investigation (for the governor, said that it was inconceivable that such things should go on for six years and no suspicions be aroused It is believed there will be a clean s weep at the institution.

NEW POSTAL CARDS COMING. Postmaster General Hitchcock Orders Chemists to Work Out a New Formula, Witu. the coming of the new year will also come an entirely different vestal card from the ones in use to Jay. Postmaster General Hitchcock has instructed The expert chemists of the department of -agriculture to A-ork out a formula that will produce a 'better paper than can be made under The contract now in force. He says tlhe postal cards iss-ued by th government of this country" are inferior to those used by most sail oaher countries, dt is now thought ihat changes will be made in the general style of printing and arrangement of the type and designs. It is quite likely, -however, that the head A our martyred president, iMcKinley, A'ill be retained cn the stamp. It is possible that the color of the ink and ihe tint "of ttie paper will be. changed. An effort will be ' made, however, .o produce a more duralbS'e card and lie of Ies! weight if it can be accomplished at all. -TSic government at present is issuing 75,000,000 po.tal cards a month. The present conraclt will expire -with the end of 1909 ind in the meantime the postmaster general will give personal attention .o devisng a more substantial and ornate card.
