Rost, Marshall Company The Unit
ed Salvage Company, of Chica-
go Have Been Called in to
Their Assistance.

1t was said in yesterdays s Palla-
dunn that it was likely that all need
of secrecy in regard to the difficulties
OF a certain prominent Main street
firm of merchants in securing leases
on the building which they occupy
would be past by today and that the
names would be given. 1t is indeed
a pleasure to say, at this point, that
the forecast was a true one and that
the leases have been closed to the sat
isfaction of both landlord and ten
ants. The old corner of ninth and
Main streets, which has been made
such popular one by Rost, Marshall
company and which everybody who
is really anybody knows as the loca-
ton of the Big Store, and where any
one at all familiar with Richmond
could find his way blindfolded, is to
undergo complete repair. Spacious
show windows will take the place of
the wall facing east. and the interior

the very latest designs. In fact, it

building have been made. Rost, Mar

clothing and shoes for men. women

Now, in advance of these vast i'm
provements, and to close out the
goods so that there shall be room for
them to be made, these gentlemen
have engaged a prominent Chicago
salvage company to conduct mon
ster sale, beginning Saturday, March
9Th. The United Salvage company,
of Chicago, has been engaged on ac-
count of their well-known reputation
for moving the goods. They will sell
them very cheap, to be sure, but when
they take charge, it is like Mr. Rost
says: "The goods will be sold at
what they are worth to the buyers
who attend this forced sale, regard
less of how much more they have
cost Rost. Marshall company"

usual sale II viii be useless to in

The Columbus, Greensburg & Rich

has been here since yesterday, and
left with the. Richmond party for
Cambridge City at IL O'Clock this
morning.
A goodly number took advantage

CONDUCTOR'WBSSBL
and MOTORMAN
ARRESTED IN CAMBRIDGE CITY
FOR VIOLATING AN
ORDINANCE
ON THE TOWN COUNCIL
In Regard to Stopping of Cars on
All Crossings in the Town
The Case Appealed.
ON THE TOWN COUNCIL
Especial to Palladium.)

Cambridge City, Ind, Feb. 90
The ordinance passed by the town
council, requiring the interurban
cars to stop at all street crossings,
became effective last Monday, but
the company refused to comply with
the ordinance.
On Monday, as Frank Lanich came
from Dublin on the ear, he attempted
to have the car stop at the corner
of Main and Foot street, but Con-
ductor Vessel informed him that the
car did not stop at that crossing, so
he was taken down to the interurban
restaurant corner, the usual stopping
place Mr. Lanich then filed a COM
plant before Dan Petro, town clerk,
who ordered the arrest of Mr.. Vessel
and Owen Forester, motormen, which
was done by Marshal Ulerich. The
men were released on bond furnished
by the interurban company, and the
trial was set for yesterday afternoon.
The case was called for trial, but
the interurban company appealed it
to the circuit court, and the trial has
been set for March 9.
The public in general regrets the
arrest of the gentlemen very much,
as Mr. Vessel is one of the most ac-
commodating conductors on the road.

RICHMOND BOYS
Have Narrow Escape in a Chicago
Fire.

Mr.. Walter Fulghum, with fifteen
of his fraternity fellows, who are
attending the Chicago University,
had narrow escape from fire last
week.
The fraternity house caught fire
during the night, and they were
aroused in time to get out with only
their night clothes on. Mr. Fulghum
grabbed an overcoat and a pair of
slippers and ran two blocks through
the snow to turn in the alarm. The
fire was soon under control, and the
boys came out with but little loss.
They had to stand out in the cold
and snow for some time, clad only in
their pyjamas. Other houses in the
neighborhood were finally thrown
open and the shivering crowd given
shelter.

some COMPLAINT
From Merchants Regarding Interur
ban Cars.

Merchants along Main street be-
tween the squares on the corners Of
which the interurban cars do not stop
have registered a complaint. The
Iinterurban cars Of the Richmond
Street and Interurban company do
not stop at all crossings coming in
to this city. The first stop is at first
street, the next at fifth, sixth and
eighth, skipping third, fourth and
seventh streets.
Passengers coming in on these cars
are usually taken to eighth and Main
streets. while they may want to trans
act business between sixth and
seventh, or between seventh and
eighth streets.
1t looks to an outsider as if stop
ping at these few corners mentioned
would only take up a few more min
utes of time, while it would be a
great convenience to a number of
people.
1t is presumed the street car people
will see the Importance of this move
and remedy the seeming error.

tracks of the company would be laid
above the wagon and pedestrian part
of the structure and would in no way
interfere with the other part of the
structure.
The proposition of the company is
certainly a most liberal one and
should be considered in the light of
the future. Bridges are not being
built for today, but must be built for
the future, and. with the increase in
electric and steam roads, good bridges
must be erected.

life, has made wonderful progress, SO
much so that it is receiving favor

over the country, and in England
and Switzerland.
The coming Of this line into Rich
mond is one of the best things that
could happen to Richmond. It will
bring us In touch with one of the
best farming regions of the state.
and open up to US a country with
which we have had little business
heretofore.
