On a Spree.

Last week, Wednesday, a man named
John Ely, of Orwell, Ashtabula county, IN
der the influence of a juice cunningly ex-
tracted from corn, and Familiarity known as
whisky, walked into the cellar of Z. A.
Smiths drug store, where one of the clerks
by the name of Shelton, an acquaintance of
his, was at work, and being in e jovial mood
he tore the coat from Skeletons back, and
playfully drew a half gallon of molasses, and
took If and the measure and hurriedly left
the premises. The police having been mott
fed, instituted a search for the fellow and
found him in his wagon about entering Mar
ket alley from Market street. An attempt
was made to arrest him there, but the man
from Orwell couldn't see it, and whipped
his horses into a run; down Market alley
they gallOped and out on to Main street, the
policeman vigorously pursuing, and yelling
''stop thief at the top of his voice; but the
man from Orwell wouldn't and couldn't be
stopped that way. Discovering this the po-
liceman "went for" a livery stable, procured
a horse and buggy and reinforcements and
started again in pursuit. In the mean time
the man from Orwell ran his horses up Main
street as far as Camps mill, and there con-
cluded to come down town again, turning
his team he came back as he went, and at the
corner OF the square met the policeman who
was determined en- his arrest. Disregard
ing the command TO halt, he drove out High
street at a good steady run. The policeman
with the 'livery rig" not to be bafied in
that way, applied the ';gad" to his "nag''
and got him into a run. It was an even
race out High street, side by side they gal
Hoped down the Bazetta road till near Red
run bridge, where the man from Orwell gave
his horses an extra touch With the lash and
went over the bridge first, creating & gan
which the policeman and his nag were un-
able to close. Bound to arrest the man from
Orwell, the policeman followed him into the
about seven miles. But it was "no

and the policeman was compelled to aban-
don the chase and return to town. Having
secured, however, the molasses pot, which

JOHNSTON.

April 9TH 1900.
EDITOR CHRONICLE Although the mud
blockade was in full force on Monday, a
goodly number of our townsmen turned out
to attend election, there being about one
hundred votes cast. The following persons
were elected 10 the various offices.
Trustees. H. d. HOlcOmb, David Hart and
Col. Geo. W. Dickinson; Treasurer, Theron
L. Finney; Clerk, R. A. Bartlett; Assessor,
Lucius Bartlett; Constables, John Beebe,
John Law; Justice of Peace, Jas. S. Weir;
Supervisors, L. Mowrey, ]. D. Bradley, j.

net Curtis, Thomas Milligan, T.. A. Bradley,
70. D. Viets, j. NJ. Smith, Charles Fenton,
A. Sutton, Jas. Boyd.
As this is a strong Union town, it was
thought best to give both parties a part of
the offices, so the Unionlsts took the Trus-
tees, Clerk, Constables, Assessor and Justice
and gave the Democrats about half of the
Supervisors offices. WlNDWARD.

Tia schools of Trumbum COuE-

ty.
The School Commissioners repor! for the
year ending August Slst, 1865, is just pub
lished. The following are s few of the Sta
tistics of Trumbull
No. of youth enrolled, 1889; sc per
cent of whom entered school only 50 per
cent in daily attendance. No. of common
schools, 209; central or high schools, q;
rate of local school tax, in special districts,
g 1900 mills; in townships, l 51-100 mills
The receipts for the year, S47, $500. The
amount paid teachers is S29, 7O7,56 G. No. Of
different teacters employed during the year,
39e; &c males, 3lS females. The average
wages of males, $500 per month; of fe-
males, $780, per month. Teachers aboard
ed around in 172 districts. The average
No. of weeks school was in session, 26 28-100.
There are in the county, 211 school houses,
worth $50, 140. The county examiners Of
teachers, examined 514 applicants, which is
IS more than any other County Board in
the State, examined. 434 of these appli-
cants received certificates, and $50 were re-
jected. The report of the schools in War
rem compares very fayorably with the best
class of Union Schools in the State; so per
cent. Of the No. belonging were in daily at
tendance. There is one point in particular,
in which Trumbull County is a few years in
the rear of the times, that is in continuing
the system of ''boarding around" Almost
every consideration Of this subject must
teach the people that it is a bad practice and
should at noe be abandoned. What our
schools of the State need most, is a class of
well trained teachers. It would be thought
madness for persons TO enter upon any other
profession, without first having s special
course of study, to fit them for its duties.-
Why should not teachers have this also?
If the State would expend a few thousand
dollars a year for training schools for teach
ers, she would in a fey years realize more
than double the profits from her schools

WARREN MANUFACTURES.
HI. c. BeIden's Carriage Man.

Last week we were shown through the ex-
~tensive carriage mandatory of H. c. Bel
den, situated a few rods east of Main street,
south of the Canal. Mr.. Belden commence
ed the business here in 1S41, and from small
beginnings has built it up to its present large
proportions. The buildings are large and
cOmmodious, and in every way suited for the
purpose for which they were designed. The
blacksmith shop is two hundred feet long,
and twenty feet wide, and two stories high.
The wood shop Immediately opposite is one
hundred and forty feet long, twenty-five feet
wide, and two stories high; attached to it is
the engine house. South of these buildings
are the capacious ware housees each one hum
dred feet long, twenty-five feet wide, and
two stories high. In these are stored every
variety and kind of vehicle, from the light,
fancy buggy to the lumber wagon. The
second story of the first of these buildings is
used as a paint and varnish room. Here it
was we saw some of the most elegant and ex
quisite designs for ornamental paintings, and

story of the other building is used as a store
room for materials. In this we found the
largest and best stock of wheels for buggies
and wagons to be found in TrumbuIl coun-
ty. In this room we were shown a patent
rail for the top buggies, a late in
v%ention, and one that will come rapidly in
TO general use. The woods used mostly in
this mandatory are oak, hickory and pop
These are obtained here in Trumbull
The common spokes and hubs are
procured in Warren; the best quality from
manufactured at the shop. The market for
the work produced at this establishment is in
Trumbull and adjoining counties. There is
a steady demand for all the buggies they can
make, and they now have orders for work
amounting to between three and four thou
sand dollars. They manufacture a superior
article of peddler's wagon, and are now con-
,tructing one of the most complete affairs of
he kind we ever saw. They also make du-
ing the year q large number of wheelbar-
lows. They do an extensive business in the
way of repairing; their facilities for doing
kind of work being u~nequalled in this
part of the country.
Mr.. Belden employs between twenty and
hirty men. His business is conducted on
he cash system, his men receiving their
every Saturday. He's well known in
his community as being an energetic bust

The ChOIera.-SanItary Regu-
Authorization of the Town
Authorities.

Mr.. EDITOR I'm view of the probable
visitation of cholera to our country the
coming season, and in such an event,
Warren heing situated as it is upon a reg
ular t~horoughfare, we could hardly ex-
pect to escape its ravages; it is therefore
deemed very important that our town
should at once be thoroughly renovated
and cleansed, and in order to carry out
the ordinance in relation to nuis-
ances, the Council at a recent meeting
passed the following resolution:
Resolved, That the board of health
heretofore appointed, are hereby author
lied and directed to fully police and ex-
anime all houses and premises attached,
in the village of Warren, and to advise
and direct the owners or occupiers thereof
as to theFemoval of all nuisances there
from, and in case of neglect or refusal to
do the same, to notify and require the
Marshal to cause the necessary work to
be done promptly and efficiently"
And have instructedt the Marshal and
Street Commissioner to see that the law
in that respect be strictly and rigidIy en-
forced, and believing that the citizens,
generally, will see the importance of it, l
trust it will only be necessary to call their
attention to the matter to have them do
their duty in that respect.
In order that they may more fully I'm.
derstsnd what is required of them, /
have thought best TO republish an alb
stract of the ordinances relating to the re-
moval of nuisances.
