DURING THE YEARS. HE HA8 BEEN A LANDLORD HE HAS WITNESSED THE VARIOUS TRANSPORTATION CHANGE8. .: ' i i '-.r.-ri -fv , . ... y . . Cambridge City, Ind. July 12. ElIdridge Gerry Vinton, a: pioneer resi

dent, observed his eighty-fifth birth-1 day, Sunday. , Mr. . Vinton- is. -perhaps the oldest hotel keeper-in the State of Indiana.- He- started -westward from Boston in year; 1844,' In company with forty other young men. The journey from Boston to Pittsburg was made by stage. ..There they' took transportation by boat to Cincinnati. They desired to settle in Indiana, and upon making Inquiry as to the best .route, were told to take - passage from that city to Laurel, over the old Whitewater Canal. As the canal was to be continued to CambridgetCUtXtthey decided to make this place their objective point. They accordingly came overland from Laurel to this place In wagons. When they reached Cambridge City, Mr. Vinton's companions sought employment on farms, but he secured a place in the old White Hall Tavern, then owned by Gen. Solomon ' Meredith. He remained In this place for two or three years, and finally became proprietor. Has Seen Many Changes. He also conducted what was known as the Great Western Hotel, but is best known as the owner of the Vinton House. Mr. Vinton has viewed from his door, the evolution of transportation, from the stage coach, the old canal boat (which plied just west of the hotel), the prairie schooner, to the steam train and the electric car, which passes just north of his hostelry on the old National Road, and the automobile. Mr. Vinton says that he is leading a retired life, with his two faithful daughters to cafe for him. Last year he assured the people that lie was to "live forever." This year he sends the message, "sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, a live corpse Is better than a dead one, any day." -,r- ' -.4 , , Baseball Results ' NATIONAL LEAGUE.

ELEVATED TRACKS PLAN OfCOMPAMY Decided Improvement Tn the Arrangement of Line at . Cambridge City. WILL REDUCE THE GRADE IT IS ALSO PROBABLE THAT THERE WILL BE CONSIDERABLE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CAMBRIDGE DEPOT. From what is regarded as a reliable source, it has been learned that the Pennsylvania railroad company will make, a mammoth change and improvement in the line at Cambridge City and also on the grade between that place and Dublin. Elevated tracks The tracks will also be considerably and the grade cut down as much as possible. The cost of the improvement la estimated at close to a million dollars. ' The construction of elevated tracks through the town will necessitate the change in the connections and other important matters. It has also been stated that the company will rearrange and Improve the depot. With the tracks all overhead, there will be practically little danger of accident, which is an important matter as that city annually gives a citizen or two as a victim to tho railroad. The tracks wll also bo considerably wider than at the present time by reason of the double tracking of the road. The grade between Cambridge City and Dublin is probably the steepest on the Indianapolis division and has been tho cause of much expense to the company. All heavy trains require a double header to pull them to the top of It. The grade will be reduced by excavations and by elevating the tracks at Cambridge City .

SUSTAINS DEMURRER In the circuit court this morning. Judge Fox sustained the demurrer to the plea in abatement in the case of Dorothy Primrose and Carolyn Lemley vs. James Brown. The suit was for partition.

IT IS ALLEGED THE TROUBLE STARTED IN A DISPUTE OVER SAW MILL TWENTY-FIVE WITNESSES ATTEND.

Martin B. Bartlett, a minister of Economy, was one of tie defendants in the case of the state vs. Martin B. and Charles Bartlett, which was placed on trial in the Wayne circuit court today. The Bartletts are charged with assault and battery on Frank Reece. The case is being heard be fore Judge Fox. About twenty-five witnesses have been summoned. The state is represented by Prosecutor Ladd and Ray Shiveley. The defendants are represented by. John F. Robbins. Self defense is claimed by the Bartletts. ' What Charge Is. It is represented by the state that Reece had a contract with Martin Bartlett to remove a portable sawmill to a woods on the latter' b farm and cut up some timber. It is charged that later he was notified his contract was void and he would have to move. Reece did not vacate the premises with as much speed as the Bartletts' desired, so they went to the woods where the Bawmill was located and rebuked him. It is charged that without provocation Charles Bartlett, seized a piece of timber and struck Resce with it. knocking him down. Bartlett is alleged to have continued to maltreat his victim. There were spectators and when they attempted to interfere, it is claimed by the state, the elder Bartlett forgetting his divine calling, grabbed an ax and holding it in a menacing manner threatened to intercept any atempted interruption. The state charges that under the law the senior Bartlett became a principal in the affair by his act. Owing to the number of witnesses to examine and the details which are being entered into, it is not probable the case will be concluded this afternoon. It is not expected to require all day tomorrow.

CANARY BIRDS AID THE HUMAN VOICES Cincinnati Baptist Church Had An Innovation at Services Sunday. WERE 35 BIRD SINGERS WERE BROUGHT TO THE CHURCH AT THE REQUEST OF THE PASTOR AND THE HARMONY WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL. Cincinnati, O., July 12. The presence of thirty-five canary birds as a part of the choir and participating in the Sabbath morning musical program constituted a unique innovation in the regular religious services at Lincoln Park . Institutional Baptist church yesterday -- The idea of calling" the birds into commission as a part of the choir was original with the pastor, the Rev. George R. Robbins and the use of the canaries along with the choir voices and the great church organ, it was declared by members of the congrega tion, added greatly to the choir ser vice. The sermon was based upon the text, "Who are these that come flying through the air like doves?" Began to Chirp. The regular song service preceeded the discourse by the Rev. Mr. Robbins. Members of the congregation had been charged in advance to bring with them as many canaries as were available. The birds began their chirping with the first strains from the choir and ceased when the music did. The keeping of musical time was noticeable, especially in the observance of the slight intermission between voices of the song. Dr. Robbins and many members of the congregation did not hesitate to assert that the feature of the canaries added much to the service. During the praying and preaching the songsters conducted themselves with remarkable decorum, but when the organ was played and the choirmaster waved his baton the most beautiful music ever sung in the church came forth. This wes kept up for three periods of ten minutes each. The pastor said h$ wanted his hearers to take a lesson for plain and honest living from the birds, and his bringing them there was for the pur pose of showing his congregation that the beauty of nature ought always to be appreciated.

Newspaper Team Cets Number Challenges For Battle Royals

Plenty of sport seems in promise for the newspaper men of the city, if they accept all the challenges being sent to them. A number of amateur teams have asked for dates, but this class of players will not be accommodated. The newspaper men will select their own opponents and choose such men as lawyers, police, city and county officials. Men who have seen professional service on the diamond and are never expected to hit the ball or catch a fly (unless on paper). The lawyers havinsr lost heart in the proposea con test, their managers have been removed and Linus Meredith, county sheriff, substituted. Meredith says he can select a team from the lawyers and court house officials who can defeat anything that looks like a bal team that was ever turned out of a newspaper office. He points to the fame of such men as Charley Ladd. Will Bond. Paul Cornstock and himself as being something SMALLPOX IS GONE Last Case of the Disease Was Dismissed by Authorities Today.
