announcement of his death has been hour

Gov. Brough left this city for Cleveland
on the morning of the 21stday of June,
since which time he has not been in Co.

suffering exceedingly from boils or car
bunkles. Shortly after his arrival in
Cleveland he was confined to his chamber
and from that time forth he suffered ex-
cruciatingly. Whatever may have beer
thought of Gov. Brough personally or Of
him as politician, it cannot be truly de-
MED that he was man of decided ability
and executive capacity. In these partic

~ We are indebted to friend at New
port fer the particulars of painful acci-
dent, which occurred in Independence
township, in this county, on Thursday
last. Mr.. William Greenbank was en-
gagged in telling timber,ne his residence.
A tree, in falling, caught on another tree
near by, in such manner as to swing the
butt clear off the stump, thus causing the
trunk of the tree to fall back across the
stump from which it was cut. Mr.. Green
bank sndeayored to escape, but was struck
by the falling tree, and so badly injured
as to deprive him of consciousness, and
resulting in death few hours thereafter
He leaves wife and two small children
to mourn his loss. Hewas good neigh

father. He was drafted into the Fedora
service last fall, and had but recently re-
turned from the army.-AariettG Times

nisheS Us . report of affairs st the Home
during the month Just closed. The names
of Is4T soldiers were registered in May, and
many were entertained there whose names,
in the hurry of taking meals and taking
the cars, could not be obtained. The num-
Der who took meals there was 1856. Meals
were served up TO ia soldiers on the cars,
who were too feeble or lame 70 walk in to

given was S8,O2S. The number of soldiers
Who were lodged in this institution was 5s9.
For several weeks there had beenrs lan
ct the Home. No soldiers, save thbse dis
charged, were passing through. No fur
loughs were issued. But now the tide
has set in again, and for several days has
been rising with great ~rapidity. About
four hundred meals are being served up
every day. From last Saturday morning
till Wednesday night of this week there
had been prepared 1904 meals. From this
time on for q number of weeks the Home
will probably be evsrhOwing. The special
patrol guard, consisting of eighty men, UNI

taking their meals at the Home nOW,anG
they, in addition to the daily heavy travel,
make lively times at the institution, all of
whose supplies and capabilities for doing
good are furnished by the Soldiers Aid SOi
