The Centennial Depot to be Erected at
Once-The Grain Elevator to be
Rebuilt on Another Site.

An army of laborers armed with picks,
crowbars, shovels and axes, is at work on
the property of the Pennsylvania Railroad
in the vicinity or the Union Depot this
morning, endeavoring to bring order out
of chaos and enable the road to accommO-
date the public. The scene of that locali-
ty is one of activity, and the work of so
many laborers is hourly having precepti-
BILE effect. Just this side of the Union de-
pot, to the right of the Fort Wayne track,
carpenters are erecting a frame ticket
office 14x20 out of very rough material.
But as this is only temporary affair. there
is no necessity for it being very elaborate
The plans for putting up the centennial
depot arrived this morning, and that struct-
ure will occupy the open space between the
depot walls and the ruins of the elevator.
This building is now being torn down and
will be shipped Immediately. Its dimen-
sions are 300x100 feet, and it contains wait
ing rooms. ticket offices, and eight or ten
rooms for the offices of the company, the
latter being on the second floor. At the
site Of the elevator all is quiet At the
annual meeting of the stockholders held
one day last week it was decided not to re-
build, but on Saturday the grain dealers
Of the city held a session, and resolved on
new organization, for the erection Of
an elevator. this one will! not be put up
on the site Of the old one, as the railroad
company has decided objections to the use
of the old grounds for elevator purposes,
The new structure will be 4Ox125 Feet ana
about half as high as the one that was de-
stroved Pittsburgh Telegraph

Tshed correct report OF a game of ball
plaved at Geneva between the club OF that
village and the Watsous Of Ashtabula. In
explaining the matter the Times man says:
..on inquiry, we find many reputable per
sons who were present who pronounce the
statement gross exaggeration, if not
falsehood." This style of language is in
Just the same strain as that used on the
bali grounds that day; it sounds very nice
70 some Of the Geneva people, but it lacks
appreciation here.

As to what was said last week about
the Board of Education, we supposed it
was fully authorized, as the president of
the Board-Dr. E. L. King-infOrmed us
that it was in contemplation to hire pub
lie room which would be accessible to re-
porters or the public. 1t was his opinion
that that should be the case. That Mr..
Southwick mas been accommodating in
showing the proceeding of the Board, is
probably true enough, but the editor who
has volunteered to deny our allegations and
champion the course of the Board, in the
face of the clearly expressed opinion Of Its
very worthy chairman to- the contrary, VIII
do well 20 tell the public if he was ever
present at the sittings of the Board as re-
porter. The ready disposition to play the
the toady so gratuitously, is only anoth- |
er evidence of that inveterate lnde- |
pendence, about which we hear so much |
from the Ns18. A conversation with Mr..
Southwick- Clerk, urged nc claim that
there has been any freedom, of intercourse |
with the meetings of the Board. The use
of the minutes of the Bd. does not cover
ali that the public need. Discussions do |
not go upon the record, and it is in these
sometimes-so it has been found in the
Council, where everything is free-where |
the object and animus becomes Of consid-
cradle interest both to reporter and pub
