NO DECISION REACHED
In the Matter of Rebuilding Crav-
fOrdsviIIe Wire Nail Mill.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, Nov. 25.-The
directors of the wire and nail company,
whose plant burned Saturday night, met
this morning and c~anvassed the situation,
but have not reached a conclusion as to
what will be done concerning rebuilding.
The general idea seems to be in favor Of
rebuilding. The machinery is being care
fully examined, and it is thought it can be
repaired for less than half it's original cost,
and this machinery will be protected at
once from the weather. The insurance
amounted to $4,000, $4,000 in Chicago COM
panies, $500 in the Indianapolis Fire, 5000
in Niagara, 5000 in the Fire Association
and $1,000 in the Lancashire.
A great hardship will be upon the hands
employed in the mill, being thus put out of
work at this time of the year. The ma
chine shop will be replaced at once. but If
the plant is rebuilt it will be several weeks
before it can be in running order.

RIDICULED BY IRVING.
Sir Henry Says English Actors Are
Not "-Coarsened" in America.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.-Sir Henry
Irving tonight when asked his opinion of
a recent article of the St. James Gazette,
Of London, to the effect that American
audiences have a "coarsening" effect upon
English actors, said the statement was
ridiculous. The parochial priggishness,'
said the English actor. (which solemnly
pronounces an adverse opinion upon a great
public, to me is colossal. amazing. ! have
been associated for nearly fifty years with
great actors and among the greatest L
should number Charlotte Cushman, Edwin
Booth and Joseph Jefferson. Where were
these actors trained? In America, and by
a spontaneous and inspiring public-and no
public car be more alert to the d~elicacies,
subtleties and refinement of the actors
art"
Continuing, Sir Henry said the opinion
expressed by the writer is unique. ut is
certainly not shared by any other English
critic to my knowledge" he said.

NO RECORDS BROKEN.
Only Fair Time Made in the Oakley
AUTOMOBILE Races.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 25.-There was a
large and enthusiastic attendance at the
Oakley race track this afternoon to wit
ness the automobile races given under the
auspices of the Cincinnati Automobile Club.
There were three races decided and the
time in each was fairly good considering
the condition of the track and a cold raw
wind, which retarded the machines. The
feature of the day was the effort Of Henri
Fournier, the French chauffeur, to break
the record for a circular track. He was
originally carded to race fifteen miles, but
while on the track early in the afternoon
his machine went wrong and when he came
out TO race against the records it was
growing dark so rapidly the judges de-
cided that he should only go eight miles.
Fournier failed to break any record. claim
ing that his machine could not do itself
justice owing to temporary repairs made
on it. He made the eight miles in 9:16 %.
Outside of NJ. Fournier the participants
were local automobile enthusiasts.

WABASH, Ind, Nov. 25.-There is a seri-
Gus deficiency in the local supply of corn,
and stock owners are bidding lively for
the cereal. Farmers and stockmen say
that not enough corn was produced in the
county last season to supply the home
needs, and it may be necessary, even with
the high prices prevailing elsewhere, to
ship in corn. Sixty cents is being paid now
by local buyers, and the warehousemen are
clear out of the market, as they cannot
make competitive bids. Holders are part
ing with their grain sparingly, and it is
predicted hat unless there is an advance
in the price of wheat the values of wheat
and corn may soon cross each other. Oats
are practically unobtainable, and 40 cents
a bushel is offered without attracting
sellers.
