senger Depot in the
State Outside of
Indianapolis.
The new Panhandle passenger de
pot will be located east of the old de
pot and the west line of the new de
pot will take away about twenty-fire
or thirty feet of the old depot. The
east line of the new depot will be the
same as the east line of the Jones
hardware store building on tenth
street. The south line of the depot
will be the lot line of the street on
which it faces and will be built at the
sidewalk line with a portecochere or
entrance porch built over the side
walk in the center of the building,
making a covering for those who en
ter the depot from carriages or oth
erwise. The portecochere or porch
will be about twenty-five feet wide;
the depot proper will be forty-eight
feet wide by 142 feet long; the train
shed will be about sixty-five feet
wide by 800 feet long; the space be
tween the train shed and the depot
proper will be about twenty five feet
wide by 142 feet long. This space
will be covered with glass cement,
making it an outside waiting room
and will also be enclosed with an
iron fence with gates entering to the
train shed.
A passenger when entering from
the street under the portecochere or
porch will enter into a large waiting
room which is about forty-four by
forty-six feet square. Directly op
posite this entrance door will be the
entrance to the out-side waiting
room and train shed.On the west side
of the large in-door waiting room
will be the ladies, and gents, private
waiting rooms. These pri
vate waiting rooms have modern
, toilet rooms attached. The ladies
, waiting room will occupy the north
s:c'e aod the gents' the south side of
the building. Between the ladies'
and gents' waiting room is the cor
ridor about six feet wide to the lunch
counter." The room where the hmeb
rrcontiter . is located, and , also the
kitchen, "occupies the extreme west
room of the building. There will be
no dining room attached to this
depot. On the east side of the large
waiting room, (and by the way this
large waiting room occupies the cen
tral part of the building), is fitted
up a telegraph office, ticket office,
baggage and express room and also
a stairway leading up-stairs which is
fitted up for a number of offices for
tfce division superintendent, tele
graph and dispatcher's office, Iran?-j
portatiot., both freight and passen
ger departments, engineer and sur
veyor's departments and several
otner offices.
The exterior architecture of this
building, which is the depot proper,
will be made of brick and terracotta.
The design will be of the colonial
order, using light gray or red brick,
the terra cotta to be made to match
the brick in color. The main entrance
will be about twenty five feet wide
and cover the entire sidewalk. This
co 'ering or portecochere or entrance
, porch is erected on four large round
-1 brick columns. These columns have
granite bases and are surmounted wi th
Urge eo'ouial capitals. These cap
itals are modeled by special and high
class sculptors. Ovtr theae col
umns will be constructed a cornice
to match the main cornice of the
building, which extends along the
front and two sides and intersects
and copes with the main cornice. This
cormce is made from terra cotta and
is very richly ornamented. Above
this cornice and over this porte
coeht re or entrance porch will be a
gable construction made of trra
i otta and brick of a very rich colonial
oesigc. The east aud west end of
the building are practically the same,

The terra cotta ornamentation of
this structure will cost at least $10,
600. It requires at least 9,000 square
feet of slate roof to cover the same.
As to the interior of this structure
the depot proper is n the first floor
and the offices on the second. The
main waiting room, the ladies and
gents' waitiog room and their toilet
DAFNirFP I room connections and the corridors
Kooc,ucliare tobe laid with Mosaic floors,
; highly polished. The express room
and the baggage room are to be
1 laid with one and three-eighth inch
i hard maple floors. - The lunch
J counter room is to be laid with
i extra selected white maple floor. The
! express room and the baggage room
j walls are to be laid on the inside
i with special enameled brick, and the
I only plastering that will be in these
two rooms will be the ceiling. All
t plastering will be what is known as
j the sand finish, and the entire sur
face is to be decorated or frescoed
i with oil colors. The main ceiling
over the main waiting room is to be
paneled off with rich moulded pa ids
and to be . formed with rich orna
mental stucco work.
The entire building is to ba heated
with steam throughout from a heat
ing plant to be placed in the base
ment of the building. The entire
building " is to be lighted with elec
tricity, and a complete system of
wires are placed from a switch board
in the basement so that the company
can furnish their own lieht or buy it
as they chose. The wood work used
in the interior is to be all quartered
oak, and when completed is to repre
sent a high polished surface, such as
is used on furniture, pianos, etc.
The main telegraph office is to be
fitted up with all modern improve
ments and so arranged that the sen
der of messages and those that are
liable to visit this office can enter the
room without being disturbed by
others. The ticket office, which will
be in the southeast corner of the
large waiting room, will have a fine
ornamented window with the exterior
of this ticket office all fitted up with
the most modern improvements
known for an office of this kind.
Taking it as a whole throughout, it
will be one of the finest depots out
side of Indianapolis in the state of
Indiana.
After leaving the main waiting
room we enter an outside waiting
room between the main building and
the train shed. This space is covered
with glass forming prismatic lights,
To give the reader an idea of the
magnitude of the lighting of this
outside waiting room, it takes
1,872 glass, twelve by twelve inches
square to light this space. This
waiting room occupies a space of
3,51)0 square feet. The floor of this
outside waiting room is to be laid
with the very best of paving brick
and joints filled with asphalt. .Alter
leaving this outride ' waiting" room
we enter the train shed. The train
shed is constructed entirely of iron
and glass. Both ends of the train
shed are filled in with gal van iz 3d iron
and glass. This train shed is so ar
ranged that nine trains can be load
ed at the same time without inter
fearing with one another. Four
trains would be facing east and five
trains would be facing west. This
train shed is yentilattd from the top
with seventeen thirty-inch ventilat
ors. There is a sky light constructed
! over this train shed which requires I
4,621 square feet of glass to cover the
same. To give the reader an idea of
this immense train shec! which is.
! eight hundred feet long will say that
'. it takes 675,555 pounds of iron and j
i steel to construct the same. The
j cov ering of this train shed is made of
j galvanized iron, number twenty
gauge. It requires 40,000 square feet
in addition to the glas as above
mentioned. This train shed is to be
lighted entirely with an arc light
system requiring a great num
ber of arc lights to be used to
light the same. - It is so ar
ranged that baggasre and express
matter will be taken to and from the
trains without interfering with the
passengers going and coming from
the same. This train shed is con
structed entirely of trusses forming
one immense arch requiriDg about
thirty-eight trusses. There will be
no coiumr.s except those necessary
at each side, thus making the train
shed a clear and wide opening.
Trains can run from one end to the
other, the same as the depot con
structed at Columbus, O.
The entire iron work throughout
is to be painted with three colors of
white paint, thus giving a
very licjht and attractive appearance.

COMPROMISED
The Suits in the Stidham
Cases Settled Out of
Court Yesterday.
A suit which was of great in
terest in the north part of
the county and was expected to
be quite sensational was - set
tled out of court yesterday, beirg
the suit of the administrator in the
David Stidham estate against certain
heirs.
Mr. Stidham died, leaving a wy
large estate and a will; but on going
to make a -settlement the
t rat or failed to find
notes and other
which other heirs
adminis
certain papers
claimed
should b in existaoce. There were
certain children Mary E. White and
Sarah E. Tiiouias and the children
of John Stidham, deceased, who live
in Tennessee, who were dissatisfied.
The administrator brought suit
at?aio6t Alida Stidham, the widow;
Wm. A. Lillian Stidham; and Bart
and Evdia Johnson; demanding the
production of the aforesaid notes and
other personal property, claiming
the conversion e mounted to a con'
siderable sum.
Yesterday the attorneys in
the case Kirkman, Johnson,
Shiveley and the Studys
representing all parses concerned,
met and agreed on a compromise.
The heirs against . whom the suits
were brought waived any interest in
the balance of the estate in favor of
the other heirs. The amount thus
relinquished is about $3,500 which is
considered fair as each of the other
children had received a farm apiece
about eleven years ago. It avoids
what would have been a tedious and
very expensive law suit.

Cut a Christmas Tree.
Police court looked a good deal
like a kindergarten this morning.
Some one telephoned in to headquar
ters that some kids were cutting
down trees in the Glen and the pa
trol wasron went out, returning with
a load of children ranging in size
from ten years to so small that some
one suggested that a babv wagon
should have been sent out for the
littlest ones. They had an ever
green tree about as high as the door
ot the police court room, which they
had cut intending to make a Christ
mas tree of it. They did it iu broad
daylight and did not seem to under
stand that the? were committing a
crima against the peace and dignity
of tbe great state of Indiana Tbey
were lectured and turced loose with,
out the tree, which seemed to be a
very hard punishment to the smaller
members of the (rang, much harder
to bear than the lecture. The next
trespassers on the Glen will be fined,
as the trees must be protected.
Lawrence Case.
The trial of Lawrence for assault
is set for December 24, but may not
be tried then. Lawrence is the fel
low who came to the jail with a
bullet in his ribs, claiming that he
had assaulted a woman and then
shot himself but failed to kilL He
was then thought to be crazy, but
was locked up. Later it developed
that he had told the truth, and had
assaulted Ida May Watts, a sixteen-year-old
girl, living in the Watts
settlement, near Doddridge's ChapeL
Widup and Study appear for the de
fense and are ready for trial, but itis
not thought it will come up until af
ter the holidays.

HONORED
By the Odd Fellows' Lodges
of Richmond Last
Evening.
Odd Fellows' hall was well Cl'.ed
last evenintr, the occasion bt-ingr a
testimonial to Thomas li. Jesup
who bas pojv held tLe highest iffieeof
the order in this stale atd i to rep
resent the state at the mxi meeting
of the Sovereign Grand lodge of the
order.
The exercises opened with the
Bridal Rose overture by the orches
tra, then Roseoe E. Kirkman was
I introduced by the chairman, Mr.
I Muhl, and in a few well chosen words
t welcomed the assemblage. All, he
said, were welcomed by the lodge,
to the ceremonies and festivities, but
that was not all; they were welcomed
to the companionship of this preat
order, which was the synomym of
manhood and character, an order to
I which wealth alone was not a safe
j passport, but which welcomed the
ragged coat n ?t shielded a true
heart; that stood as a safeguard to
the widow and orphan and the needy,
and inculcated at all times lessons of
patriotism.
John Taggert followed in a neat
solo, and Harry E. Penny, district
deputy grand master, oelivered an
address on the Future of Odd Fel
lowship. Odd Fellowship was to last
through the centuries because it
stood for all that was good and noble,
sentiments which must be the aim of
good men for all time. The order had
ever kept abreast with the spirit of
the age and would so continue. It
was a mighty monument resting on
earth but piercing the skies, founded
on virtue, friendship and truth,
clothing the naked and
feeding the hunery, thus ful
filling that which Christ
had declared to be the greatest of all
law, "Thous shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself." The coming century
will be as favorable to the growth of
the order as had been the one just
closing. New problems would meet
our children, but they will meet tbeiu
as we have met problems. TLe order
would in the future as in the past
outride the storms of the years while
t remained true to its teachings and
obligations.
C. C. Binkley, past grand master,
was the next speaker. He was pleased
to see so many present. He was
glad that he was an Odd Fellow and
be bad no doubt that was the senti
ment of most of the audience.- From
rMmmized as the greatest of all be-
nevoleut institutions of the world. ,
r? - - r-i -- - -
He looked forward to the time and '
believed it would come in his own
day when the wives of mem-,
bers would be welcomed in
the lodges. A short description
of the branches of the order was giv-,
en, leading up to the honors of the
grand and supreme lodges. The
person who has been elevated to
these latter bodies is most highly
honored. Wayne county bas fur
nished four grand masters Gov.
Oliver P. Morto, Gen. Sol Mere
dith, himself and one other, who had
just been placed on the list as past
grand master of tbe state and
representative to the Sovereign
Grand lodge, Thomas R, Jesup.
Mr. Jessup was a member of Wood
ward lodge and he was requested by
that lodge to present to Brother
Jessup a worthy testimonial of their
1 esteem.
Speaker then presented Mr.
Jessup with a magnifi ent collar and
! regalia bearing the emblem of his
; rank.
Mr. Jessup was visibly affected as
. well as surprised and while be was
collecting himself Mr. Gus Egge
! meyer sangfla solo, ''Friends",
j Mr. Jessup tten took the floor. He
j had no words to express his feelings,
j It was under Mr. Buckley's occu
pancy of tbe chair that he came into
the order, and from District Deputy
i Penny that he had learned the teach
; ings of the order. He should never
; forget tbe lesssons he had thus
. earned. It was tbe crowning glory
; of his life to know that the order in
i the great state of Indiana bad re-
posed sufficient confidence in himself -
j to send him as representative to the
Sovereign Grand Modge of the
strongest order in the world. Words
! were inadequate to express tbe grat
: ificatioa he felt at the remembrance
: given him by his home lodges. He
1 trusted that no act of his in official,
: civil or business life would cast any
'stain upon the lodge who bad thus
f honored him.
The insignia presented was a very
. handsome piece of work a collar of
I purple velvet bearing in gold the in
signia of tne rand of tne wearer.
The meeting closed with an oration
by Bro. Ward, in verse, beautifully
recited, and a social, with games and
dancing.
