with diamonds. and opals, a set of
diamond studded collar buttons. and
a set of diamond studded cuff but
tons. all of which came to the office
in a letter that had been sent

and the owner came to the depart
ment to put in claim for the jewelry.

that this years sale will bring more
revenue than any previous one, not SO
much because of the quantity of the

vertised by the department, to be open

physical ordeal she is to undergo.
The health of both she and her

Trouble at Robinson Plant Is
Not Settled.

Striking moulders at Robinson and
Company machine shops continue
picket duty, which was instituted soon
after the strike was declared in No
vember. The men declare they will
hold out until their demands are re-
cognized, but Robinson and Company
have no intentions of SO doing. it is
understood, and are still maintaining
operation of the factory under their
contract with the N. +. A.
The officials of the company declare
they hold no grievance towards the
strikers and will recognize them in
the open shop policy, which the COM
pany instituted and which was the
cause of the walk out
No disturbance has been caused by
either the strikers or the foundrymen
of the company. Police court charges
against some of the moulders were
appealed to the circuit court by coun-
sci for the defendants and 1t is likely
these charges will be dismissed later
by prosecuting attorney Charles Ladd
for want of testimony to prosecute the
strikers. 1t is said that the prosecut-
ing witnesses in several of the cases
have left the city.

IS YOUNGEST BRIDE
License Is Issued for l5-year
Old Girl.

Mary Elizabeth Griffin, who win be
fifteen years old on June 1. was given
a marriage license on Saturday by
county clerk George Matthews. after
Judge H. c. Fox of the circuit court
and her father, James Griffin had sane
toned her marriage to Leonard ALI
son, aged 20. She is the youngest
bride ever married in the county since
the present marriage license restric-
tons law became effective.
Inasmuch as the girl is not yet six
teen it was impossible even with her
parents consent for the clerk to issue
the license until Judge Fox had been
informed of the circumstances and
could give his consent. The case was
presented to him by an attorney and
others. The marriage license blanks
show that Allison is a resident of the
city and a laborer. The Griffin girl
gave her occupation as housework.

GRANVILLE ALLEN
DIES At CAPITAL
Well Known Indianapolis
Man Was Former Resi-
dent of Wayne Co.

Granville G. Allen. 46, vice presi-
dent of the A. Burdsal company of In
dianapolis. and identified prominently
in business and social affairs of that
city. died at his home, 1888 Broadway,
Indianapolis. Sunday after brief ill
ness with pneumonia. Mr.. Allen was
formerly a Wayne county man and
was very well known in Richmond
and over the county generally, hav-
ing number of relatives besides a
host of friends here.
The announcement of his death
came as shock to local friends and
relatives. Besides being a member OF
the Columbia club in Indianapolis,
Mr.. Allen was Scottish Rite Mason.
a member of the Knights Templar and
Mystic Shrine.
The deceased was born at Upton,
Ind. June g., 1866. He afterwards
moved to Hagerstown, where he was
in business for number of years
with his father. Thomas Allen, who
now lives in Indianapolis. Thomas
Allen was one of the best known
druggists and farmers in Wayne coun-
ty. until he removed to Indianapolis a
few years ago. Twenty-Five years ago
the late Mr.. Allen went to Indianap-
oils and entered into a partnership
with Thomas r. Thornburgh, under
the firm name of Thornburgh and
Allen.
Later Mr.. Allen became identified
with the A. Burdsal company in the
capacity of travelling salesman. He
afterwards became general manager
and then vice-president, which posi-
ton he held at the time of his death.
In September 1890. he was married
to Miss Elizabeth Nicholson who sur.
wives. as do his parents and one sis.
ter. The funeral will be held at two
o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the
home. The Rev. NJ. L. Haines, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, OF
Indianapolis, will conduct the service

GRAND JURY WILL
INSPECT THE JAIL
Probably that Body Will Rec
ommend New Building
for the County.

A new jail building will be built in
Wayne county within the next two
years unless during this period a dis
trict work house is established. The
present structure which is styled a
boarding house for well known fire.
qucnters Of police court has moss
on It's back according to the state
ments Of several county officials.
The expense to be incurred In con-
struction OF new building will be
close to $4,000 1t is estimated. No
suitable structure for anything less
than this sum can be erected 1t is
figured, because the county will want
a most modern institution In every
respect. with compartments for those
who are serving sentence for INSIDE
meanors: for those incarcerated on
felony charges; for juvenile offend.
ers. and for persons placed in the in
stitution temporarily for safe keep
ing.
viii Inspect the Jail.
At meeting of the grand jury in
April IL will make an inspection OF
the jail. What the present structure
lacks is easily apparent to anyone
no matter how badly he may lack In
information on the subject. 1t is said
that about the only qualification the
building has is that it serves to KEEP
the prisoners safely within 1t, although
John Locke escaped through a chin
ncy.
Recommendations for improvements
to the building. and, in some instances
for a new building, have been made
by previous grand juries. and 1t is
probable that the jury OF the April
term of court will make some refer
ence as to the need of new build
ing.
Should the grand jury make re
port that the county is SO badly In
need of new building that one should
be built at once. II is likely the cOun
~ council and commissioners will pro
vide for the establishment OF Il funt
for this purpose.
Within few years, 1t is argued
enough could be set aside SO that the
building could be built without incur
ring "a tax increase.
Whether the site of the present jail
on South Second street Is the proper
place for the new structure when Il
is built is a question which has beer
given considerable consideration by
those interested. Since the count!
owns a half square there it Is gener
ally believed that this would be tht
proper place.
| The present Jail was built over thir
ty years ago. and while the building
is substantial. 1t falls far short of be
ing modern and meeting the wants o
