Vast Floor Collapse at Oliver Plow Company Building
A four story section of the Oliver Chilled Plow Company building at 310 South Pennsylvania Street collapsed after the fourth floor laden with farming machinery gave way. The resulting dust cloud and bulging walls triggered police ropes and barricades while workers and officials assessed the damage and salvaged salvageable equipment.

State Reform of Jeffersonville Prison Becomes National Example
The 1870s era Jeffersonville Prison, once the worst in the state, was transformed into a modern reformatory for young convicts. By 1895 the facilities were rebuilt with large cells, modern plumbing, ventilation, heating, baths, and a new central focus on reform over punishment. Parole incentives, updated discipline, and a professional, merit-based staff improved efficiency, costing money without increasing debt, highlighting Republican success.
