FlH GROWS SALE

Possibility That The Trotting Association Will Purchase Them.

The Hatter Up Befye the Agrienltval Society This Morning—The Suit Against the Society*

From Saturday's Daily

The board of directors oi the Vigo Agricultural Society held a meeting about noon to-day at the office of Joseph H. Blake. Nearly all the directors were present.

President Sankey informed the board that the society had been sued on several notes, one of $1,600 and the other of $000, by the Rose Dispensary. The records of the society weie examined and it was determined that the former board had no authority for issuing these notes and the society legally were not bound to pay them. But since the notes were given in good faith there was no disposition on the part of the present board to refuse payment and let the old board be xesponsible for the debt.

After considerable discussion on the subject Jos. H. Blake and Wm. E. McLean were authorized to appear in court for the society when the case came up for trial.

The question in regard to the sale of the grounds came before tbe meeting and it was decided that a committee be sent to confer with the trotting association in regard to the matter. Messrs. J. H. Blake, Al. Schaal and W. E. McLean were appointed on this committee. The board seemed very much opposed to the abandonment of the fairs. The sale of the grounds would not be objected to provided the society were allowed to continue holding their annual fairs. The general impression was that the sale of the grounds could not be made without the consent of the society. Should the holding of fairs be interfered with the society would interfere with the sale of the property.

The meeting adjourned to meet at the office of Col. W. E. McLean next Saturday morning at 10 o'clock tor the further consideration of the matter and to hear the reports of the committees.

Before an adjournment was taken it waB decided that a call lie issued for the meeting of the stock holders of the society to be held at the city hall two weeks from to-day. The purpose of the meeting will be to ascertain the opinions ot the stockholders regarding the sale of tbe property.

There seems to be a difference of opinion in regard to the sale of the grounds. Several members, it is understood, are in favor of the society bidding on the grounds. Others seem to think arrangements can be made by which the society may be permitted to hold fairs on the ground. Tbe Trotting Association seems very anxious to purchase the property and oonvert it into a driving park. "What do you think of the sale of the fair grounds asked a GAZETTE writer of a member of the Agricultural society this morning. "Well, I am afraid that the Agricultural society will become a thing ot tbe past. We can not prevent the sale of the grounds and may be prevented tbe priviege of holding fairs on the grounds." "To whom do you think the grounds will be sold "I understand the Trotting Association is after them and I think it will buy them up." ....

PEBRYBVHUE, Ind., March 31.

About 11:15 A: if. to-day, fire was discovered in the building occupied by Hicks & Hendrickson with a large stock ot dry goods. The fixe extended to the following places: Wm. Benefield's store, F. S. and J. F. Smith's store, Smith Bro's., store, Dr. Spottswood's office. The fire department of Danville was telegraphed for and arrived at 1.45. At half past three o'clock the fire was under control. There was a high wind blowing, which added to the difficulty of extinguishing the flames. Most of Hicks & Co's., stock was saved. The fire originated in a garret at their place. tki

SUGA3 CREEK ITEMS.

The Republicans of Sugar Creek town ship were in convention last Saturday, and nominated Newton Green, as their candidate for trustee. It was a regular Casto convention. Casto was here and Casto was there. Casto made a great speecn for reform. (The idea of Casto reforming anything!) Some contention took place as to running Green. They claimed that he held an office whicb holds two years yet, but Casto told them that he had consulted Nick Filbeck and Dave Henry, wbo were in the hall, .and tbey said he eould hold both, and so tbey went ahead and nominated Green over Marion McQuilkin, wbo wanted the nomination. Casto was against McQuilkin and that settled it. The joke of the mat ter is that about one-tbird if the people there went baci in the afternoon and nominated Jim Schee, on tbe National ticket. Tbe Republicans say that Casto is good b'4nd to make nomination's, but he never elected anybody. Mr. Green was elected to serve as assessor for four years, aud the people expect him to stay there for that time and do not want him to electioneer for one office while drawing pay from another. David H. All, tbe Democratic nominee for trustee of Sugar Creek, deserves the active support of everv Democrat in the township. He received the unanimous nomination by a

Mr. J. E Blake Will Fight Ike street Railway £xteniira to the Fair Grouds.

He Files a Deed From the State ditor for all That Portion of the National Bead Between Fat* nam County and the

State Line-

The History of an Interesting Case-

Last Thursday mandamus proceedings were instituted before Judge Howe, of Indianapolis, by tbe Western Plank Road Company against the auditor of State to compel him to execute a deed for that portion of the old National road lying between the west boundary of Putnam county and the state line, as per terms of sale made by the state in October, 1852, to Gilbert and Wilson, who afterward transferred the property to the plaintiffs. Tbe case was heard and the auditor was ordered to make the deed. Friday the deed was filed in tbe Recorder's office in this city by Mr. Jos. H. Blake., J,

A GAZETTE ambassador fouhu Mr. Blake in his office and made inquiries regarding the proceedings. He said: "You know tbe National road was surveyed and opened from Baltimore, Md., to St. Louis, Mo. The road passed through Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. In 1848 that.portion of the road 1} ing in Indiana was surrendered up to tbe state by an act of Congress. Four years later the state legislature decreed that tbe road should be sold and tbe auditor was given instructions accordingly. Ralph Wilson and Curtis Gilbert purchased the part between Putnam county and tbe state line. The Western Plank Road Company under a special charter by an act of the legislature of January 14, 1860, had been incorporated and Messrs. Gilbert and Wilson signed their purchase over to this corporation There were 250 shares of this company and 1 own 225. The proceeding at Indianapolis was for the purpose of obtaining this deed from the auditor." "Mr. Blake, 1 understand you intend to try and prevent the street railway company from putting down tracks along this road." "Well. I had a conversation. with one of the board of directors of tbe street railway company and asked if it was tbe intention to run the cars at regular intervals. I received a negative reply. The cars were to be run during fair week and horse raoes. Now I don't propose to let 'the street railway company build any such road on that street that shall do no one any good except the railway company." "What do you think of your prospects for preventing the building of the road?" "I think I have a

right to say by my

deed whether there shall be any other than ordiuary travel upon that road or not. I think I can prevent the street railway company from putting down tracks."

Pieking up the morningpappr be read: "The Western plank road has been defunct for lot these many years" be added "well, weill see about that."

Continuing, Mr. Blake said: "Even if they extend the railway to the cemetery the cars will not run regularly and when my wife wants to come to town she will have to wait until there is a funeral and then she couldn't got back out home until there was another one. We shall see about this proposed railway."

Mr. H. Hulman, of the street railway company, was seen by a GAZETTE reporter and asked his opinion regarding the extension of the track. He said tbe county commissioners had not given them the right of way. He did not think that tbe deed held by Mr. Blake could possibly prevent tbe putting down of the track. He said Mr. Blake had a scheme to place a track it Poplar street and then run it north to the National road. The putting down ol the track on the National road by the street railway company would defeat all Mr. Blake's plans.

A publication is made agaihsf retiring Trustee Louis Finkbiner because he has rendered a bill for services which includes Sunday. An attempt bas been made to create the impression that this is extortion. This is wholly and entirely a mistake. Tbe Township Trustee is tbe,harde6t worked official in the county and receives tbe least pay. He not only works on Sundays in relieving tbe poor, for which he does and should charge, but he works at night also for which he does not charge. It is also true that Jlr. F's predecessors have rendered bills as be bas rendered them. He will carry with him to privite life the respect of all citizens of Harrison Township whom be has served faithfully and well. He has made a careful, methodical and reliable Trustee, just the sort of a trustee that Lon Foster will make, whom the people of Harrison township will chose a week from next Monday.

Special to the GAZBTTB. Tbe incorporation fever has subsided for awhile. The rain of yesterday will likely cause a rise. Dr. Slues was in Centerville last week. We heard he was expecting to locate there yet.

We

oan not vouch for tbe truth of the assertion. Mrs. Leavitt, widow of Reuben H. Leavitt, was able to be moved last Sunday. Dr. Rhssell, whose wife is a Sister to Mr. Leavitt, furnished her a room in his house until she gets able to move into her own property. She has been confiaed to her bed for almost eight months, and it was the general opinion that she could m»t stand to be moved. She had to give possession where she lived. Mr. Leavitt having sold his farm before he died. 8he stood the trip remarkably well and seems to be improving some since. Mathaw 8. Rector moved Monday to his fine farm that be purchased from R. H. Leavitt. Martin Church, one of the pioneers of this township, but for several years past a resident of Hutsonville, Illinois, was in our town last week. There is but five or six persons here who were residents here when he lived here. Politics are raging. The caldron is boiling. Men's blood is hot. Shaving costs five cents only, tbe other five is allowed for cigars. The dark horse champs his bits and paws eager for the fray only awaiting the order of bis master to make the fatal plunge.

WHAT NKXT.

Yes, what will be the next lie put in circulation against the Democratic candidate for trustee. We are anxiously awaiting to hear. So far every one has been nailed to tbe cross of corruption, from whence it sprang, and will so continue until the end. We learn there is some more at tbe factory ready for distribution on election day. Be careful boys that there is not a premature explosion. A. A. Gordon,'the Democratic candidate for trustee, was born and raised In Riley township. He is a straightforward business man, well known and qualified to fill any position, and a man whoso whole interest is in Riley townsbip, and a man who will fill the office of trustee without any partiality to any particular branch. The roads, tbe bridges, tbe schools and all the interests of the township will receive their proper attention. Mr. Gordon has been a school teacher, and is well qualified that in respect—We have never known the begging of an office, a successful electioneering scheme.
