GRAND LARCENY.-0n Wednesday
last the guests at the National Hotel
discovered the loss of sundry articles
of wearing apparel, and at the same
time the proprietor of the house learn
ed that two of his regular boarders had
absconded without making a settle
ment Of their accounts. Without
waiting for legal process, two men
started in pursuit of the fugitives early
in the evening, and overhauled them
at the Leavittsburg depot, waiting for
the train. They were still in posses
sion of the greater part of their plum
der, one or two articles having been
pawned at that place to secure a hotel
bill. The parties, whose names are
given as James Whipple and James
nennison, were returned to Niles,
arrested for grand larceny, examined
before Justice Noble, and upon a plea
of guilty were required to give bail in
the sum of $50 each, in default of
which they were sent up to the Coun-
ty nuisance to await trial. DennisOn
claims to belong in Youngstown.
Whipple's parents are said to reside in
New Jersey.
AETER THE COUNTERFEITERS.-A
brace of detectives visited Niles the
past week, endeavoring to hunt up a
case against somebody, but thus far
have met with indifferent success.
One of our prominent business men,
upon whom suspicion rested most
strongly, accompanied the officers to
Cleveland, at their request, but it ap-
pears that when the evidence against
him was reported to the District At
tOrney, that official did not consider
it sufficient to warrant an arrest and
examination, and he was released
without bail, on his promise, to appear
for further examination on the 9th of
October.
GRANT CLUB.-E. B. Taylor, Esq,
of Warren, addressed the Grant and
Colfax Club on Saturday evening, at
the Town Hall. Stirring campaign
songs by the Weathersfield and Miles
Glee Clubs gave variety to the enter
tainment. Nh. Taylor drew a crowded
house, as he always does in Miles, and
treated his audience to a sound, logi-
cal argument upon the living issues
before the people. A few such meet
as we had Saturday evening, in
every township throughout the State,
would have a telling effect at the polls
on election day.
