west of Cleveland. Weston says snow cannot
more than reduce his speed one half mile per
hour He does not give himself the slightest
trouble on that account, but is easily iflltated
ON matters which would be regarded as things
of less importance
He is well pleased with The treatment receiv-
ed from Ohio people, and thinks of making his
future home in Northern Ohio if he leaves his
native State, Rhode Island, where he was born,
in Providence. March 10, 1888. He has been
through this section before, and desired some

with a nervous apprehension of danger-nOt of

ieopardize the final result. When police bring

which fortunately, fell shors. 1t is only under
such circumstances that he persr;Fes freely. A
pig ran between his legs at ConneaHt, almost
landing the boy upon his back. By such sud-

Weston, initiates against his final success

everything, meanwhile keeping up a running
conversation on incidents of his travel. The
boQuets, one of which was presented by Miss
Kate Rice, Daughter of Col. Dan Rice, were
carefully slowed away. He talked much about
Cleveland, and said he would like to hear some
of the Clevelan& ladies play upon a piano,

watched, heart sick and weary, waiting for
the time when he should release his hold and
lend an ear to the mingled threats and pleading
