Bro. Babcock Sues Bro. Marshall for SIO,OOO. Last Thursday, Frank E. Babcock, publisher of the Democrat, brought suit in the circuit court against George E. Marshall, publisher of the Rensselaer Republican, for SIO,OOO damages. & The grounds for the suit are publications made in the Republican some time ago against the Democrat man growing out of the publicat ion of the board of health notice, over which the libel suit tried at the last term of the circuit court was the outgrowth. Both these editors have done some pretty foolish things over this matter and the sooner they both drop the fight the better they will be off. The only persons benefitted by these numerous trials are the attorneys, and it is doubtful if they are growing rich from attorney fees. The real sufferers are the tax payers, who have been paying the costs. Better kiss and make up, brother editors.

At the M. E. church next Sunday there will be special Easter services. At the regular morning service there will be a special children’s choir and baptism. In the evening Easter exercises by the Sunday school will take the place of the regular preaching service.

Beginning next Sunday, April 7, the evening services in our churches will commence at 7:30 instead of 7 o’clock, as heretofore. This to continue until October. A. L. Ward, A. G. Work, 0. D. Royse, Pastors.

THE GIFFORD RAILROAD.

The Rensselaer Branch Has Not Been Abandoned, A STATEMENT FROM MR. GIFFORD. Has Not By Any Means Given Up the Project and If the Road is Not Built It Will Not Be His Fault. B. J. Gifford has written tne following letter to the Journal in reference to the publication that he has abandoned the Rensselaer branch of his road, which is self explanatory: Kankakee, 111., April 1,1901. Mr. Leslie Clark, Rensselaer, Ind. My dear sir: I have yours containing a clipping from the Democrat headed Clifford Railroad,” and inquiry touching the truth of the statements therein. Replying thereto, would say there has been no “give up” on my part and such statement is entirely unauthorized. The Democrat has fought this enterprise from the beginning, and this is only a snarl from a fallen foe. I have already spent on the Rensselaer line much more money than the entire election expenses in Marion and Barkley townships. The road may not be built, but if it is not built, it will not be my fault and I shall be the chief loser thereby. The only “scheme” involved appears to be a scheme on the part of the Democrat to arouse, if possible, a hostility to the enterprise sufficeint to drive me from the undertaking. And their lack of confidence in the “promises of this promisor” is a matter of regret, but this promisor hopes to maintain nevertheless a reasonably fair financial standing. That the Rensselaer line has its difficulties is well known, yet it is not considered impracticable in view of

the aid promised. And I most deeply regret my apparent inability to build the road and to please the Democrat at the same time. Yours truly, Benj. J. Gifford.

RESIDENCE BURNED.

The Fire Company Called Out Early Sunday Morning. About one o’clock Sunday morning the fire company was called out by the clanging of the old cracked fire bell to fight a blaze at the residence of George Kissenger on Oak street. The fire started in the wood house where Mr. Kissenger was smoking meat and before the fire company arrived the wood house was almost consumed and the flames had communicated to the residence. Owing to the abominable condition of the streets the fire comany were exhausted before they reached the fire, and besides being late were in no condition to do active work. The residence was badly damaged before the fire was put out, and the house will have to be rebuilt, which will be done immediately. Mr. Kissenger had moved to town but two or three weeks ago. He had no insurance to cover his loss of about a thousand dollars. The goods were all removed and were damaged but little.
