Quite a severe accident took place at Greenwood, a small station on the east division of the Chicago Atlantic railro'ad, Tuesday morning.

He was taken to his home, corner Byron and Court streets, and the surgeon, just after dinner, while not having made a thorough examination, was of the opinion that amputation would be necessary.

A.

At the conclusion he announced" that the amount must be raised ere he could! dedicate the building, aad at once he went to work. At two o'clock, he had the entire sum. save, about twenty eight dollars, provided far wuenthe audience was dismi and the announcement was given that the dedication' would take place at 4:30.

At that hour, another large audience had congregated, "and after a brief sermon by Rev. Smith, the remainder necessary was speedily raised when the church was dedicated, The day was also the time for the quarterly meeting, and at the conclusion of the dedicatory services, the sacrament of the Lord's supper was observed. The people of that vicinity are justly proud of i their new edifice, and we trust that the church will, prove a great benefit to the town. Eev. Gamble la the pastor.

The Huntington County Teachers Institute opened Monday morning, in the Court House, and will continue in session throughout the week. The attendance was quite eood for opening day, the enrollment being about sixty. The prospects are for a very large attendance and it is believed that much good will be The organization was effected by the selection of the following officers: President; A. D. Mohler; Vice Presi dent, Prof.

J. W.Caldwell; Corresponding Secretary, Miss Laura Freel Enrolling Secretary, Miss Nellie Daniels. Oq Tuesday afternoon. President Jordan, of the State University, delivered a lecture upon "Higher Education," before the institute, to which the public was cordially invited. In the evening, he lectured in the Court House upon, "The Climb of the Matterhorn." No admission was charg ed for any of these lectures.

A new proposition has been made by the gas company to the city of Huntington for street lighting purposes, which same will be found in the council proceedings. It will be noticed that three diff erent proposals in regard to the erection of posts are made. The first is for one hundred and twenty five iron posts at a cost of the second is for wooden posts, at a cost of 8625 in the third the company agrees to erect wooden posts for the city's use, retaining them as their own property. For the gas consumed, it 13 proposed to ask $2,295 per annum with an additional $240 per annum for lighting, extinguishing and keeping in repair. This will make a total sum of $2,535 per year for the matter of light alone, the city owning nothing and reciving nothing but light.

If the iron posts should be desired. $1,375 must be added, and if the wooden $625. It must be borne 'in mind that this $2,533 is a yearly rental, and in the course often years amounts to $25,350 an enormous sum and sufficient for the city to maintain and operate gas works own. maintain a3 haye all along insisted that the cheaper way for the city, whether she lights by gas, electricity, or what not, if she conludes to light, is to secure that light that she can urniah consumers, herself onwlng the plant, and thus derive some income rather than be at a continual outlay, and at the same time she will not be, at the mercy or caprice of any one or any company.

For a long time the effort has been made to extend the mail' route from Majenica to Warren, thu3 making the route from this city to Warren, with a service of three times per week. Lately a petition wa3 circulated at Warren and Majenica, and which had the endorsement of Postmasters Hes eln. Huff and Hilderbrand, and this was sent to the department through Congressman Steele, and the request wa3 promptly granted. The new serr vice will begin the 1st of September. We are plad to make this announcement.

The route was one that should never have been discontinued, and now that it ha3 been reinstated, it will prove a great Wreck on the Wabash. Quite a severe accident occurred on the Wabash rail way morning, and full particulars cannot be A freight train going east, when at Prairie Switch, ran off the track, a vast number of cars leaving the track. The engine passed over in safety, and went on to Ft. Wayne and reported the Two wreck trains from west went to the scene of the wreck and one from the east, and they were bard at work all day clearing away tbedtlris. The passenger trains were compelled to transfer.

The noon train going east and the train I coming west had to be transferred, and up to four clock it had not vet reached this station. The cause of the wreck has not been ascertained, though it was probably caused by the switch. Our School Buildings. By reference to the council proceedings, published in another column, it will be seen that a report from the Board of Trustees of the city schools recommends th it the body take steps looking to the erection of additional buildings at no distant day. It is a fact which cannot be denied that our city is not as well equipped in that line as her necessities demand.

All. know that for years past, the lower grades of the schools have been crowded to overflowing, and much of the time, in order to accommodate all it it has been round necessary to hold only half day sessions of school. As matter now the pupils of the two higher grades will be compelled to take rooms on the third floor of the central building," and all certainly know the effects of climbing up and down these stairways by school girls and children can but be deleterious and injurious, i A This question is one which directly interests every parent in the city of Huntington, and should be met in a square and manly way. Whatever pertains to the welfare of the common schools should not be looked on as of little importance; it is criminal negligence so to do. It is due the children that every precaution be taken that they reach manhood's and womanhood's estate as nearly perfect in both mind and body as it may be possible to attain.

We' may' talk all we please concerning light, waterworks and kindred improvements. They are all grand things and we would like to see them established in this city but greater and far more important than all these is our school interest, and while these questions are being discussed, it should not be lost sight of. The time is almost here, if not already come, when other buildings for school purposes must be located, and while the city authorities are thinking of these matters, let them not ignore this. In oar Bchool work, we must take no steps backward. Tile secretary of tbe National Board of Health has forwarded to Dr.

24th, 1885. The city common council met in regular session, his honor Mayor Day in the chair. The minuter of the last meeting were read and approved. A motion to reconsider the vote by which a resolution for the improvement of Byron street, except so much as referred to sidewalks on said street, was carried. A proposition was submitted from Huntington gas company offering to furnish the city .125 Iron gas posts with lanterns, Chicago pattern, and place them in the positions which the council might designate, all complete, readv to light, for or they will furnish the city with 125 oak gas posts turned and painted imitation of the iron posts now in use with lantern Chicago and place them in desired positions all complete and ready to light for the sum of $625; or, to erect 125 oak gas posts, made as above described, with Chicago lanterns, at own expense and place them in proper positions for the city's use.

provided that said posts, lanterns and fixtures remain' the property of the company. The company further agrees to furnish the 125 posts, with the other ten now in rise, with standard coal gas through five feet burners, to be kept lighted every dark hour in the year, for the sum pf $2,295 per annum. Also agreeing' to light, extinguish and keep in order said lamps for the Bum of $240 annum; and pledging to give bond and security for the fulfillment of contract: The matter was referred to the committee on street The grade for the gutter on La fountaine street was asked by W. G. Foust, that he might boulder 'his gutter, and the civil engineer Instructed to give the grade.

The Board of Trustees of the city schools presented their report of the city schools. The fine, condition of the health of the pupils was spoken of the successf ulness of the school year was complimented. The report showed that new furnaces had been placed in the buildings for the" comfort of the pupils, and closed by speaking of the crowded condition of the lower grades, and the necessity of the construction at ne distant "day of a new; school building. The report of the treasurer was also read, and the "reports were placed on file.

Albert D. Shaw, who was stationed at Manchesr ter. Tbe information now comes by way of the Washington Post that Mr. Shaw, though an efficient was dismissed because he is a protectionist, and, therefore not a fit representative of the country in the opinion of the administration. This infermation will be interesting, if not gratifying, to that not inconsiderable portion of the Democratic party which does not believe in free trade.
