C. A. eliminated Monday afternoon at
a picnic at Cottage Grove park, Mrs.
Muirhead being the guest of honor,
when an organization, including most
of the forty-fve present. was formed.
Officers were elected as follows:
Miss Jessie Pentland, president; Miss
Esther Wanberg, vice president; Miss
Wanda Wood. secretary; and Miss
Gertrude Mansfield, treasurer. Nothing
further, definite, has been done, except
that a committee consisting of Miss
Esther Wanberg, Mrs. ]. w. Lloyd and
Miss Della Rhoades, has been ap-
pointed TO secure quarters, probably a
suite of two or three rooms.
The purpose of the club will be in
every respect identical with the oo-
ject of the Young Women's Christian
Association. 1t would probably have
been organized as such, had it beer
possible TO secure the state secretary
of that association, who at present is
in a distant state. She will probabl,
be brought here in the fall, and the

Electric Light Wire Causes Restaurant
Blaze, With Small Loss.
While the fire department were re-
spending to false alarm turned in at
the South Third avenue police station,
about 9>o'clock this morning, another
call was rung from No. 1872, smolder-
ing fire having been discovered eating
its way between, the ceiling and second
floor at IL North First avenue, in the
rear Of the Woodbury. block and occu-
pied as a restaurant by Mrs. Della
Baxter.
When the central station crew got
back from the long run south the
flames had eaten their way between
two ofthe joists, the entire width of the
room, but had not burned thru the up
per floor. Had they not been promptly
checked, however, the chances are that
a most disastrous conhagration would
have resulted.
AS the fire was confined to the CELL
ing Of the restaurant and only the CEN
trail portion of that was affected the
damage was nominal, probably not
exceeding 500 to building and restau-
rant fixtures. Some smoke issued thru
the second floor into the hall and office
rooms above and even reached third
floor apartments, causing the Central
ruptly, but no damage resulted from
this source.
The fire is supposed to have caught
from electric wires between the ceiling
and second floor.

from 1880 to u this morning. Rev.
Mr.. Sunday spoke, but had a small
which numbered not more
than fifty men. Unless the attendance

come, and the resurrection of the sim

The Richmond Safety Gate Com
pany, an old and established $4,000
manufacturing corporation of Rich
mond, Ind, is to be moved to this city.
and it's controlling interest is to be
taken over by local capital. Negotia
tions, which have been in progress for
weeks with this end in view, have ad-
vanced so far that the removal of the
factory is now assured. When this
takes place, it will become a branch
industry of the A. Z. Shorthill Com
pany, which will control it, thru its
president, C. r. Speers.
The bringing of the factory here
will probably mean the erection OF a
building to contain it, or the enlarge
ment of the Shorthill plant. 1t will
also mean the bringing from Richmond
of skilled mechanics and the employ
ment of others skilled in in wood and
metal work.
The Richmond Safety Gate Concern
is one of the oldest of Richmonds
manufacturing corporations. One of
its chief products. and the one from
which the name of the company was
taken, is a patented automatic safety
elevator gate which has been used all
over the world, and some of which are
in use in this city. II also manufac-
lures freproof elevator trap doors.
which close automatically and shut ele-
vator shafts when fire breaks out. In
addition. it also makes approved un-
derwriters' standard fireproof door
and shutters and the hardware for the
same.
At the present time the company has
Baltimore, St. Louis and New Or
leans.
Purchase includes Patents.
The purchase of the corporation in
ciudes all the patents on its products
and all the machinery and equipment
of the Richmond factory but the boiler
and engine. The plant will be moved
here bodily.
With it will come Mr.. c. l. Colby
who is heavily Interested in the pur-
chase, and who will be head of the
sales department % the corporation
the name of which will be retained
Mr.. Colby has been with the company
for seventeen years, starting as a black
smith in the factory During recenr
years he has been in the sales depart
ment foreman of the factory, and a.
many of the skilled mechanics as car
be induced to come.
Owned by Aged Manufacturer.
The controlling interest in the cor
poration is owned by George H. Knoll
lenberg, an aged manufacturer ant
merchant of Richmond, who is dis
posing of his manufacturing holding
because of his advanced age.
The negotiations for the sale and re
moyal were made largely thru Mr.. Col

The company has been employin

May Build Factory.
1t is probable that building will b
built for the factory. If so, it will b
erected on a portion of the unoccupie
ground included in the Shorthill sit.
This detail has not yet been deteryn
ined, and If a separate building is nc
built a large addition will be made t
the Shorthill plant to afford the roor
