A NEW ENTERPRISE.

Parties are Now In the City Looking To-
wards the Establishing Of Another Man
ufacturing Industry.
Springfield is known. the country over, as
the great manufacturing center. and this
fact is continually bringing parties here
with view Of locating themselves or to in
terest some of our citizens in additional
manufacturing enterprises.
A representative of the GLoBE-REPURIIC
noticed at the Arcade Hotel this morning a
strange-looking device that on examination
proved to be a contrivance which. on hur-
ried examination, seems to be just the thing
to supply n long-felt want The device
is just recently patented and is known as
the Rumble continuous railway crossing. ="
an arrangement by which the rails at points
where two tracks cross each other are made
continuous, and the gap of from two to four
inches avoided. This is accomplished by a
rotary section of rail that is operated by
the target man who is always stationed at
these crossings. The device is simple in con-
struction, and seems to be just the thing to
solve problem that has long troubled rail-
road companies. The question has always
been how can the jar to rolling stock and
locomotives be avoided at these crossings.
Joseph Askins, of Lima, o., is here repS
resenting the matter, and it is likely that a
company will be formed here for its man
ufacture. He is stopping at the Arcade.
and it Is well worth the while of any one
interested in such matters to call in and ex-
anime the ingenious invention. There is
certainly money in it,

Drs. Kay were called in, and after thor
Ough examination, the physicians reported
that Mr.. White was in a very serious con-
dition. and very little hope of complete re-
coveyy could ever be expected. Since
then, however, he has been visibly inl-
proving and 1t was thought that he
might possibly be able to sit up in his chair.
At 10 O'Clock yesterday morning another
change was noticed and the physicians were
summoned. They reported him as worse,
and from that time up to death he was only
conscious as to what was going on around
him.
Lemuel II. White was born in the year
1922, in Urbana, o.. then village Of but a
few houses. He lived there until 1S5s,
when he came to this city. -Four years be
fore leaving there he was married to a
daughter of the late DIR. Gillett- Ever since
living in Springfield he has been connected
with the boot and shoe business. He

An account of John W. Bookwalter's

building is to be extended westward
on High street to the alley, and
fine business rooms put in,

with occupants for possession of the property.
to erect a fine. three story brick business
block, the entire distance from the alley
west of the Teegarden residence, to the
Steele block, some two hundred feet, more

and handsome Improvement in the west end.
and the prosecution of the work will be a
sure sign that Springfield's old time pros

COLLEGE DAY.

Notes and Interesting statistics.
To the EDITOR Of the Globe-Republic:
Thursday of the present week is the Day
of Prayer for colleges. Greater interest is
being taken in this day of prayer than ever
before all over the country. This is largely
due to the movement undertaken few
years ago by the International Executive
Committee of the Young Mems Christian
Association to establish branches in the va
rious colleges of the United States and Can
ala. Such associations have been organ
lied in 157 colleges, and in 53 other institu-
tions. This field Of work is very large and
the results from the work are most encour-
aging. The following is table OF the sew
eral colleges and the other higher institu-
tons of learning in the United States, to-
gether with the number of students, in
round numbers. in them:

Rink Attractions.

This evening Frank Nitchelrs Raven polo
club play the regular '.Mikado' team at the
rink. These teams were carefully selected
with a view Of matching the players as
nearly as possible, and there is not the
slightest doubt but what there will be lots
of fun for the audience.
Saturday evening Reuben Leffel and
Frank Elliott skate a one mile race for IS
a side. These skaters are said to be very
evenly matched, and as SO goes to the
winner, some flying scenes may be ex-
pected.
Friday night the London polo team will
visit our rink and exhibit the qualities as
polo players. This club has been coaxing
and begging Manager Fisher for a date.
and their wish has at last been gratified
Now let them see what show they stand
with the '.inevitables."
One week from next Fridgy the much
talked-Of 500 contest between the Piqua
and Troy polo teams will he played at the
'.Mikado." 1t is doubtless if the rink will
contain the people that will go on that
night. Crowds are coming up from the
two cities to back their respective teams,
and undoubtedly the good people of Spring
field will turn out in large numbers.

There appeared in the probate court at
Xenia yesterday morning, a couple of young
men from this city who gave the names of
Joseph and Philip Warrington, formerly of
the BellbroOk vicinity. They were looking
up the matter of guardianship of themselves
and sister. Anna. 1t seems that man
by the name of Jacob Reeder was appointed
the guardian of these three Warrington chill
dren twenty-seven years ago, when, accord
ing to the record, he received 5000 belong
ing to them and gave bond for twice the
amount. Now the Warrington boys say that
they never knew until recently that they
ever had guardian, when they received
word that Sc, 900 had been left them in New
York, instead Of $500. The boys are now
after that guardian, who resides In Mar
shalltown, Iowa.

father and mother of the boy are here from

There were three indictments against Clark.
TO one of which he pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to three hours in Jail with $40

In Lang's case there was an agree

The Judge found him guilty of Q technical

This morning the court gave its decision
over ruling the motion of J. X. Mourer to
quash the indictments against DIR. Campbell
and Johnny Ross for perjury. This mo-
ton was argued by Mr.. Moarer on Monday
and in the course Of his speech
he suggested a new system
of grand juries. by which the accused
should be arrested before the Indictment
was found. and should be allowed 10 bring
his witnesses before the grand jury. This
system will not go into effect for year or
two yet as courts are proverbially conser-
