In their effort to cheaper gas, the
Counsilmen have the sympathy of the
public. 1t cannot be otherwise. Money
Is scarce and gas bills plenty. But Mes
srs. Reynolds and Finley say that it can
not be made for less than $3.50, and the
owner makes the city a fair offer 'to sell
the works. If it will not pay the compa-
ny at less than $3.50, it certainly will not
pay the city. The city had better let it
alone, particularly at this time. Besides
those whose bills become burdensome can
quit using it.-Kerosene lamps have late.

houses, and with very satisfactory re-
suits. both IS to light and economy
Rep and Rep.
There are other gas authorities In town
and out of town, who maintain that gas
will pay at lower figure than $3.50.
Our Council have appointed a Committee
of four to investigate the subject of which
Mr.. Morley is Chairman. They made a
partial report last week, and the Commit
lee are unanimous in the opinion that gas,
good gas, can be furnished to Dur citizens
at So a thousand to private consumers,
and at $3.50 to the city, and pay well at
these rates. There are other points con-
nected with this gas question deserving
investigation, and which the Council and
the Committee are disposed to look into
This franchise allowing the manufacture
of gas in Canton, was granted by the city
Council, and it is their duty to see that
the privilege of supplying the citizens
and the town with good gas at fair anc
paying rates, is not abused by the gas
company. Our citizens, generally, com
mend this determination of the Council
and we trust the work will be thoroughly
attended to.

We see by the Columbus papers that
there is hope of getting the murderers of
William Wright, a poor and innocent
journeyman printer found dead on the
morning of December 18th, 1870. in a
passage way leading to the Salesman Of
fee. On the night of his death Wright
visited the rooms of a prostitute in the
theater building, on High street, where he
got into a quarrel with some roughs. and
was pitched headforemost down stairs, and
was subsequently carried in an insensible
condition to the place IN the Statesman
building where he was found dead. At
the unwilling of the Lincoln Statue, Abe
Osterham, Ben Riddle, and a man named
Williams, were arrested as pickpockets.
A saloon-keeper in the old theater build
ing told officer Heyl that he knew some
thing against these fellows that would go
hard with them if known. Heyl, hap
hazard, said, as it about that Wright
murder" Lake assented, but now denies
all knowledge of it, and says he was
drunk. As the Migrants are suspected, he
will be kept until the matter ia thoroughly
investigated.

CONGRESs.

In the House Friday, in the debate on
the Army bill, Mr.. Brooks spoke tren-
chantly against the Presidents using the
military in elections. He felt that no
language could express his indignation at
those who had placed the army of the
United States on election day at the dis
posal Of thieves and robbers. Mr.. Schu-
maker declared that more frauds were
perpetrated in st. Lawrence County, New
York, than in all the wards of New York
City. MI. Jones, of New York, offered
IN amendment to the bill, requiring that
the title of the United States to the ma

stIII Another Murder.

The Cleveland Leader of Monday says:
Saturday evening the vague rumors oi
another, and still another murder which
had been circulated for twenty-four hours
assumed a definite form, and it was an
nounced that a boy had shot his ather in
his house on Chestnut street. The cir
cumstances of the case are as follows
The victim was Phillip Mentally, the
author, his step-ssn John Smith. He had
been married to his present wife fourteen
years, and to use her words in describing
the misery OF her welded life, she was
"heart scalded intirelv, intirely."
1t seems that they had some difficulty
and the boy shot Mentally, although he
says Mentally was a going TO shoot him
but shot himself.
McNally stated IN the presence of sew
eral witnesses that he hadno pistol in his
and that the shot was fired by the
What proves conclusively that
John Smith did shoot his step-father is
that there was no hole IN Ghe coat through
The pistol was said to have been ac-
cidentally fred. At the latest accounts
Mr.. Mentally was still suffering and h
is still in his brain. But little less
than a miracle can save him.

E. L. White, son of Edward White,
South Cherry street of our town, accom-
panied ssme friends on board of the noon
train going west on Wednesday and the
train was moving when he got of. As he
jumped off the moving train he did not
observe that the train goingea east was close
at hand and before he was aware he was
struck upon the thigh and knocked over
falling so that the end Of his index finger
of the left hand to the first joint and the
end of his thumb were run over and badly
crushed. DR.. Slusser amputated the finger,
back of the first joint, and dressed the
thumb. His pantaloons were torn along
the leg but no other damage was done
there. 1t was a very narrow escape of
Mr.. White who is a most worthy young
man.

FoRAG1NG EXPEDITION.
Four Arrests and one Escape.

On the morning of the l4th inst. Mr..
Samuel CRUDE and family, residing at
Wise mill, s miles from Canton, found
their smoke-house had been broken into
the previous night, and despoiled of 8
hams and s shoulders, all the poor family
had. It was soon the talk in the neigh.
borhood, and in due time reached town.
Some one on the road early hat morning
spoke of meeting two sleigas with two
persons in each, whom he recognized as
belonging to town, and not above sus-
picion. A sight was taken around the
suspected premises, and Mr.. CRUDE On
Friday last made affidavit before Esquire
Slanker, who issued a search warrant,
whereupon the premises weresearched and
some of the stolen property found. On
another affidavit a warrant was issued
and William Raifsnider. Franklin Frey
heger. John Hossler, Franklin Hossler.
were arrested for feloniously and bur
glariously d~epredating upon his property.
On being brought before the Court the
defendants did not deny the charge and
they were required to give bail for $500
each. failing to do which they were or
dered committed to jail.
The party were given in charge to con-
stable Dewait about 9 o'clock in the eve
ming, who got their assistants, among
Frank Machamer and Isaac Stripe The
evening was very dark, and at the en-
CINE house, corner of Sth and Poplar,
Frank Hossler let a dirk knife into Isaac
Stripe and broke away, making a pass OF
tive also at Machamer without effect how
ever. They followed the sound of Hoss-
ler's steps for a short distance, but he ran
into an alley and in the darkness made
his escape. The other birds were safely
lodged. Mr.. Stripe made a narrow es-
cape, the knife passing through two coats
vest and shirts, and just cutting the skin
slightly across the stomach. The value
of the property taken is about $4e
burglary makes the case a serious one
for the trangressors. Strange some people
will not learn that honesty is the best
policy
