PANHANDLE STATION. Complete cription and Exact Desof the Elegant Structure Finest Passenger Depot in the State Outside of Indianapolis. The new Panhandle passenger depot will be located east of the old depot and the west line of the new depot will take away about twenty-fire or thirty feet of the old depot. The east line of the new depot will be the same as the east line of the Jones hardware store building on tenth street. The south line of the depot will be the lot line of the street on which it faces and will be built at the sidewalk line with a portecochere or entrance porch built over the sidewalk in the center of the building, making a covering for those who enter the depot from carriages or oth erwise. The portecochere or porch will be about twenty-five feet wide; the depot proper will be forty-eight feet wide by 142 feet long; the train shed will be about sixty-five feet wide by 800 feet long; the space between the train shed and the depot proper will be about twenty five feet wide by 142 feet long. This space will be covered with glass cement, making it an outside waiting room and will also be enclosed with an iron fence with gates entering to the train shed. A passenger when entering from the street under the portecochere or porch will enter into a large waiting room which is about forty-four by forty-six feet square. Directly opposite this entrance door will be the entrance to the out-side waiting room and train shed.On the west side of the large in-door waiting room will be the ladies, and gents, private waiting rooms. These private waiting rooms have modern , toilet rooms attached. The ladies , waiting room will occupy the north s:c'e aod the gents' the south side of the building. Between the ladies' and gents' waiting room is the cor ridor about six feet wide to the lunch counter." The room where the hmeb rrcontiter . is located, and , also the kitchen, "occupies the extreme west room of the building. There will be no dining room attached to this depot. On the east side of the large waiting room, (and by the way this large waiting room occupies the central part of the building), is fitted up a telegraph office, ticket office, baggage and express room and also a stairway leading up-stairs which is fitted up for a number of offices for tfce division superintendent, tele graph and dispatcher's office, Iran?-j portatiot., both freight and passenger departments, engineer and surveyor's departments and several otner offices. The exterior architecture of this building, which is the depot proper, will be made of brick and terracotta. The design will be of the colonial order, using light gray or red brick, the terra cotta to be made to match the brick in color. The main entrance will be about twenty five feet wide and cover the entire sidewalk. This co 'ering or portecochere or entrance , porch is erected on four large round -1 brick columns. These columns have granite bases and are surmounted wi th Urge eo'ouial capitals. These capitals are modeled by special and high class sculptors. Ovtr theae columns will be constructed a cornice to match the main cornice of the building, which extends along the front and two sides and intersects and copes with the main cornice. This cormce is made from terra cotta and is very richly ornamented. Above this cornice and over this porte coeht re or entrance porch will be a gable construction made of trra i otta and brick of a very rich colonial oesigc.

The express room and the baggage room are to be 1 laid with one and three-eighth inch i hard maple floors. - The lunch J counter room is to be laid with i extra selected white maple floor. The ! express room and the baggage room j walls are to be laid on the inside i with special enameled brick, and the I only plastering that will be in these two rooms will be the ceiling. All t plastering will be what is known as j the sand finish, and the entire surface is to be decorated or frescoed i with oil colors. The main ceiling over the main waiting room is to be paneled off with rich moulded pa ids and to be . formed with rich ornamental stucco work. The entire building is to ba heated with steam throughout from a heating plant to be placed in the basement of the building. The entire building " is to be lighted with electricity, and a complete system of wires are placed from a switch board in the basement so that the company can furnish their own lieht or buy it as they chose. The wood work used in the interior is to be all quartered oak, and when completed is to represent a high polished surface, such as is used on furniture, pianos, etc. The main telegraph office is to be fitted up with all modern improvements and so arranged that the sender of messages and those that are liable to visit this office can enter the room without being disturbed by others. The ticket office, which will be in the southeast corner of the large waiting room, will have a fine ornamented window with the exterior of this ticket office all fitted up with the most modern improvements known for an office of this kind. Taking it as a whole throughout, it will be one of the finest depots outside of Indianapolis in the state of Indiana. After leaving the main waiting room we enter an outside waiting room between the main building and the train shed. This space is covered with glass forming prismatic lights, To give the reader an idea of the magnitude of the lighting of this outside waiting room, it takes 1,872 glass, twelve by twelve inches square to light this space. This waiting room occupies a space of 3,51)0 square feet. The floor of this outside waiting room is to be laid with the very best of paving brick and joints filled with asphalt. .Alter leaving this outride ' waiting" room we enter the train shed. The train shed is constructed entirely of iron and glass. Both ends of the train shed are filled in with gal van iz 3d iron and glass. This train shed is so arranged that nine trains can be loaded at the same time without interfearing with one another. Four trains would be facing east and five trains would be facing west. This train shed is yentilattd from the top with seventeen thirty-inch ventilators. There is a sky light constructed ! over this train shed which requires I 4,621 square feet of glass to cover the same. To give the reader an idea of this immense train shec! which is. ! eight hundred feet long will say that '. it takes 675,555 pounds of iron and j i steel to construct the same. The j cov ering of this train shed is made of j galvanized iron, number twenty gauge. It requires 40,000 square feet in addition to the glas as above mentioned. This train shed is to be lighted entirely with an arc light system requiring a great number of arc lights to be used to light the same. - It is so arranged that baggasre and express matter will be taken to and from the trains without interfering with the passengers going and coming from the same. This train shed is constructed entirely of trusses forming one immense arch requiriDg about thirty-eight trusses. There will be no coiumr.s except those necessary at each side, thus making the train shed a clear and wide opening. Trains can run from one end to the other, the same as the depot constructed at Columbus, O. The entire iron work throughout is to be painted with three colors of white paint, thus giving a very licjht and attractive appearance. all surface waters that might fall in the vicinity, thus keeping it dry at ; ail times.

The Suits in the Stidham Cases Settled Out of Court Yesterday. A suit which was of great interest in the north part of the county and was expected to be quite sensational was - settled out of court yesterday, beirg the suit of the administrator in the David Stidham estate against certain heirs. Mr. Stidham died, leaving a wy large estate and a will; but on going to make a -settlement the t rat or failed to find notes and other which other heirs adminiscertain papers claimed should b in existaoce. There were certain children Mary E. White and Sarah E. Tiiouias and the children of John Stidham, deceased, who live in Tennessee, who were dissatisfied. The administrator brought suit at?aio6t Alida Stidham, the widow; Wm. A. Lillian Stidham; and Bart and Evdia Johnson; demanding the production of the aforesaid notes and other personal property, claiming the conversion e mounted to a con' siderable sum. Yesterday the attorneys in the case Kirkman, Johnson, Shiveley and the Studys representing all parses concerned, met and agreed on a compromise. The heirs against . whom the suits were brought waived any interest in the balance of the estate in favor of the other heirs. The amount thus relinquished is about $3,500 which is considered fair as each of the other children had received a farm apiece about eleven years ago. It avoids what would have been a tedious and very expensive law suit. HOOSIER GIRL To Marry Marconi, the Wireless Telegraphy Wizard. Special to the Richmond Palladium : Indianapolis, Ind., Dec 19. Miss Josephine Holman, niece of Benjamin Walcott, an Indianapolis manufacturer, starts for New York today or tomorrow to marry Marconi, the wireless telegraphy inventor. Cut a Christmas Tree. Police court looked a good deal like a kindergarten this morning. Some one telephoned in to headquarters that some kids were cutting down trees in the Glen and the patrol wasron went out, returning with a load of children ranging in size from ten years to so small that some one suggested that a babv wagon should have been sent out for the littlest ones. They had an evergreen tree about as high as the door ot the police court room, which they had cut intending to make a Christmas tree of it. They did it iu broad daylight and did not seem to understand that the? were committing a crima against the peace and dignity of tbe great state of Indiana Tbey were lectured and turced loose with, out the tree, which seemed to be a very hard punishment to the smaller members of the (rang, much harder to bear than the lecture. The next trespassers on the Glen will be fined, as the trees must be protected. Lawrence Case. The trial of Lawrence for assault is set for December 24, but may not be tried then. Lawrence is the fellow who came to the jail with a bullet in his ribs, claiming that he had assaulted a woman and then shot himself but failed to kilL He was then thought to be crazy, but was locked up. Later it developed that he had told the truth, and had assaulted Ida May Watts, a sixteen-year-old girl, living in the Watts settlement, near Doddridge's ChapeL Widup and Study appear for the defense and are ready for trial, but itis not thought it will come up until after the holidays.

HONORED

By the Odd Fellows' Lodges of Richmond Last Evening. Odd Fellows' hall was well Cl'.ed last evenintr, the occasion bt-ingr a testimonial to Thomas li. Jesup who bas pojv held tLe highest iffieeof the order in this stale atd i to represent the state at the mxi meeting of the Sovereign Grand lodge of the order. The exercises opened with the Bridal Rose overture by the orchestra, then Roseoe E. Kirkman was I introduced by the chairman, Mr. I Muhl, and in a few well chosen words t welcomed the assemblage. All, he said, were welcomed by the lodge, to the ceremonies and festivities, but that was not all; they were welcomed to the companionship of this preat order, which was the synomym of manhood and character, an order to I which wealth alone was not a safe j passport, but which welcomed the ragged coat n ?t shielded a true heart; that stood as a safeguard to the widow and orphan and the needy, and inculcated at all times lessons of patriotism. John Taggert followed in a neat solo, and Harry E. Penny, district deputy grand master, oelivered an address on the Future of Odd Fellowship. Odd Fellowship was to last through the centuries because it stood for all that was good and noble, sentiments which must be the aim of good men for all time. The order had ever kept abreast with the spirit of the age and would so continue. It was a mighty monument resting on earth but piercing the skies, founded on virtue, friendship and truth, clothing the naked and feeding the hunery, thus fulfilling that which Christ had declared to be the greatest of all law, "Thous shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." The coming century will be as favorable to the growth of the order as had been the one just closing. New problems would meet our children, but they will meet tbeiu as we have met problems. TLe order would in the future as in the past outride the storms of the years while t remained true to its teachings and obligations. C. C. Binkley, past grand master, was the next speaker. He was pleased to see so many present. He was glad that he was an Odd Fellow and be bad no doubt that was the senti ment of most of the audience.- From rMmmized as the greatest of all benevoleut institutions of the world. , r? - - r-i -- - - He looked forward to the time and ' believed it would come in his own day when the wives of mem-, bers would be welcomed in the lodges. A short description of the branches of the order was giv-, en, leading up to the honors of the grand and supreme lodges. The person who has been elevated to these latter bodies is most highly honored. Wayne county bas furnished four grand masters Gov. Oliver P. Morto, Gen. Sol Meredith, himself and one other, who hadjust been placed on the list as past grand master of tbe state and representative to the Sovereign Grand lodge, Thomas R, Jesup. Mr. Jessup was a member of Woodward lodge and he was requested by that lodge to present to Brother Jessup a worthy testimonial of their 1 esteem. Speaker then presented Mr. Jessup with a magnifi ent collar and ! regalia bearing the emblem of his ; rank. Mr. Jessup was visibly affected as . well as surprised and while be was collecting himself Mr. Gus Egge- ! meyer sangfla solo, ''Friends", j Mr. Jessup tten took the floor. He j had no words to express his feelings, j It was under Mr. Buckley's occupancy of tbe chair that he came into the order, and from District Deputy i Penny that he had learned the teach- ; ings of the order. He should never ; forget tbe lesssons he had thus . earned. It was tbe crowning glory ; of his life to know that the order in i the great state of Indiana bad reposed sufficient confidence in himself - j to send him as representative to the Sovereign Grand Modge of the strongest order in the world. Words ! were inadequate to express tbe grat- : ificatioa he felt at the remembrance : given him by his home lodges. He 1 trusted that no act of his in official, : civil or business life would cast any 'stain upon the lodge who bad thus f honored him. The insignia presented was a very . handsome piece of work a collar of I purple velvet bearing in gold the in signia of tne rand of tne wearer. The meeting closed with an oration by Bro. Ward, in verse, beautifully recited, and a social, with games and dancing. House Wrecked by Gas, Marion, Ind., Dec. 19.
