LORIMER WINS
The vote was taken as agreed up
on in the Senate as we went to press
last week In the Lorimer case, and

retain his seat by a vote of 46 to
40. This was in keeping with the
general record of the Congress for
white-washing. A general protest has
gone up from all over the country a

The deadlock is still on in New

claims that he will be a candidate as
long as the action of the caucus stands
and accuses the Governor of making
his election impossible. Murphy. the

WARNING GIVEN BY
CITY TO PACKERS
Shipping of Uninspected
Meat into Richmond
Means Prosecution.

Notice has been served on the In
dianapolis and Marion meat packers,
who have been shipping uninspected
meat to this city, to cease the prac-
tice Immediately or be prosecuted.
The notice was served by A. NJ. Gard
ner, city attorney, who, with Inspec-
tor Flock and Health Officer Davis,
has been investigating the matter.
Since the agitation by the local au-
thorities against the shipping of un-
inspected meat to this city no meat
has been shipped into Richmond by
the Indianapolis and Marion packers
who do not have their meat inspected.
DR.. Davis says that he believes there
will be little or no trouble of this
kind in the future, but that if it does
occur again, now that warning has
been given the packers, prosecution
will follow in quick order. He says
that inasmuch as the Federal govern.
ment employs two inspectors in this
city to inspect meat butchered for sale
here. that it is discrimination to al
low some butchers to purchase unin-
spected meat at a lower cost, and
sell it at the same price asked by
other butchers who sell inspected
meat

What probably was the last tax in

the Gaar. Scott and company. as an
independent concern, was the 1910 as
sessment. paid into the county treas
ury Friday. The amount was S10.S7s.-
SO. being the second largest single
amount paid in this fall. The Pennsyl-
vania railroad company is the heaviest
tax pawer. its fall assessment amount
ing to approximately $4,000.
The tax paying season closes Mon
day night at 9 o'clock. During the pres
ent week the business of the office has
been exceptionally heavy, necessitat-
ing the assistance of former county
treasurer B. B. Myrick at the cash
window. Although the taxpayers We're
slower in making payment this Install
| ment than ordinarily. treasurer Al
bertson believes that the total amount
so far paid in will compare favorably
with that collection in corresponding
periods in former years. Heavy depos-
its are made at the end of each days
business with the banking institutions,
only few hundred dollars being car
ried over in the county strong box for
| change for the next days business.

R. & E. |. Company Hopes to
Have Liberty Southern
Terminus of Line.

The shortening Of the proposed line

Traction company, south of this city,
by 1G miles, is one of the possible re-
suits of the inspection tour which Of
ficials Of the indianapolis and Gin
cinnati company have just completed
in several counties lying south and
west of here. Officials of that COM
pany now propose to run their line
from Connersville through Liberty to
Cincinnati, and in that event, the To-
cal company will probably abandon
its plan of running a line to Harrison,
O., in order to connect with Concin.
natl, and have the southern terminus
at Liberty.
The foregoing was given out today
by Charles w. Jordan, secretary of
the Il. & +. l. road. The local COM
pany hopes to induce the rival con-
Germ to lay its tracks through Liberty
to Harrison, as this will save big
expense 10 tHe X. ~ l.. l. company.
The Richmond company has no object
in going past Liberty, other than con-
Meeting with Cincinnati as there would
be too little business to make the in
vestment worth while, and it is anx-
ious to get the connection at Liberty.
The only obstacle in the way of ac-
complishing this purpose is that the
Indianapolis and Cincinnati concern
has four possible routes in mind, and
refuses to state which of the four is
to be the choice. The other three
routes are from Greensburg to Harri-
son: from Greensburg to Brookville ::
and from Connersville to Brookville
The Indianapolis officials have just
finished a trip over all four of the
prospective routes, and Richmond men
are watching with interest to see what
report they make on the proposition.

orary member of the post A memor-
ial was drafted by a committee es.

Isaac Jenkinson was born in Piqua,
Ohio, in 1925 and died at Richmond,

can party in Allen county. In 1863 in
partnership with David w. Jones, he
founded the Ft. Wayne Gazette, now
the Journal-Gazette. Early in the war
of the rebellion he was appointed by
of the state, and as such assisted in
the organizing and recruiting of sew
eral regiments for the Union army

consented to remain in Indiana and at
home to look after the welfare of the
Union. From 1869 to 1874 he served
.as Consul-general at Glasgow, Scot

ed in the cause of education and for

public and his valuable services in
the maintenance of the union of the
states. His example in all walks OF
life was worthy of imitation and we
memory and asked that it be spread
upon the minutes of the post.
