STREET MM. The Improvements on North Ninth Street N. Eighth Street Work. The applications for work on the street gang for the fall cleaning of the streets are not comiDg in as lively as has been usual at this time of the year, indicating that the scarcity of men in other towns around us has caught us also. Nearly all the cities ia this section are shorti men. Wabash having to abandon work for that reason. The street commissioner here, however, says that he will have all the men he needs by the time set to start, Oct. 7. He will be in his office each day, from 2 to 3 in the afternoon, to receive applications. The work will take sixty days if the weather is good, and longer if it is cot good. North tinth street has just been completed and is now in splendid shape, good for ten years. North eighth street is in very bad shape, but the street commissioner says nothing can be done lor it this fall. If it gets much worse it will be impassab e. He says there were orders on fTe for him to fix this street at the time he came into office, but they were countermanded, and thus the matter lies. There is a difference among the property owners. Some wanted the street curbed and some did not; and the street can not be fixed without curbing and as the remonstrators are strong that keeps things at a stand still. The expense of repairing north ninth street was $174. 15, being $43 52 to each square, which is quite reasonable for the good which has been accomplished. The Big Orchestra. The Richmond Orchestra meets for the first time, this season on Monday evening next at the home of the president, Mrs. Henry Gencett. The orchestra has been cut down somewhat, and will number forty instruments instead of fifty as was at first intended. The rules for attending rehearsals will be strictly enforced this winter. ! The chorus will be of fifty voices. They will have their first meeting on Thursday evening next at Odd Fellows hall. This wiil be their night of meeting until the Elks move and then Tuesday evening will bs taken. One of the additions toihe orchestra this winter will be Oliss Jessie Holmes of Eaton, a violinist. This indicates that the orchestra and its advantages are becoming known outside. Miss Holmes is .a pupil of Schliewen. ; St. Andrew's Statuary. At St. Andrew's the congregation are about putting in the processional emblems for the Way of the Cross and are considering some very fine designs from various makers for that purpose. There are fourteen stations. 1 Some very handsome designs have been submitted and are being shown at the church. The one which seems to meet with most favor and will likely be adopted is a set of statues. They are carved ia some material like plaster and colored and are about half life size and when put up in place will add greatly to the appearance of the interior of the church. . They will be the finest in the state of Indiana.

There is a discrepancy somewhere ii the number of horses burned in the Logan fire which is bothering the fire chief some. Logan's statement was that there were twenty-seven horses burned and of these eieht were his own. Tom Mertz asserts that he took away the carcases of twentv-seyen horses. At the same time there were several that did not die right away, and three are net dead even yet. Two of the Logan horses are getting along all right and will probably be pretty decent horses after all. The Dill horse died. DEATHS AND FUNERALS.

Fetta, the well known market gardner, was in his wagon in front of the Luring grocery on the west side of the Doran bridge this forenoon. A street car came along a id the horse attached to the .wagon began plunging about. The wagon was cramped around just as the car was passing and Mr. Fetta was thrown out of the wagon right in front of the car which caught him and but for the guard in front near the ground would have killed him. He was dragged twenty feet before the car could be brought to a complete stop. He was picked up and taken to the hospital and Dr. Weist called. He was badly cut aod bruised. His right ear was cut almost o5, there were two deep gashes on the forehead,the nose broken and the upper lip split clear up to the nose and a deep gash cut under the left eye. Most of the euts were such that they were sewed up. His shoulder was bruised, one knee hurt, and a finger nearly cut off his left hand. Though so seriously hurt, his life is not considered as in danger by his physician.

They Left For the North This Morning They Seem to Mean It. There was a mistake made last Light, in no one b-ing at the Arlingon to meet the officials of the rew raction line. They came, and not a olitary citizen of this city was there to meet them. There was some cause for this with their committee. Nery litt'e notice was given of their coming, and they had appointed a meeting once before and did not come. The party included nearly all the main owners of the road: Peter Schwab, president; H. P. Lane, viceoresident; Elias Folk, secretary and treasurer; Wm. Kline, chief engineer, W. H. Puis of Ohio, and S. B. Woodard of Dayton, directors. Wm. Crawford, foreman of the Southern Traction company, and W. C. Sheppard of Cincinnati, attorney for the company, were with them. They were prepared to do business. Mr. Schwab, who is one of the main capitalists behind the proiect, said he was here to build the line, and that it would be built. They will have the material on the ground and a good deal of the grading done early in the winter. This morning the party started out at 7o'clock, drivingover the line. They could not tell when they would be back, but they have a meeting at Portland this evening, and probably at Winchester tomorrow. At Spring Grove this morning they met a cumber of citizens of that corporation, including J. F. Miller, and looked over the approaches to the city. There will be a big cut necessary there, and they have made several propositions to the people with regard to it, but nothing has been agreed uoon as yet. Mr. Schwa) concluded, after looking at the bridge, that it was too narrow for their purposes, and that the company would Duild a new one beside the old one.
