MURDER AT TIE COAL NIEEs.-One Of
the saddest chapters in crimes dark cata-
logues was enacted last Sabbath, at the
little hamlet on the farm of Cyrus Young,
Esq, known as Youngstown. 1t seems
Watkins Williams, well known in this
city az q miner, was drunk and quarrel
some and set upon a man by the name Of
Daley, recently from Pennsylvania, for a
fight. Daley made some resistance, when
n young man by the name Of Thomas Nor
gan, interfsrsd for the purpose of preserv-
ing peace ifpossible, when Williams drew
a pistol and fired two shots at Morgan,
both of which took effect and have prov
ed fatal. Morgan died at seven O'Clock
last night. Williams not being satisfied
with his work of death, fired another shot
at Daley which took effect in the shoulder
and inflicted a severe wound. While en-
gagged in gathering mp the above facts we
enqlired the q and We're tersely an
sWered, "Whisky," and were told it hap
pened in a saloon of which there are nine
between Main street and the west end of
Youngstown, q distance of three and a
half miles. Comment is necessary.
The Curious are invited to this city

Everybody and his wife and children

are crowded with horses, mares, asses,
mules, bulls, bears, sows, COWS, cocks,
rams, ewes, calves and hens, all to be en-
tered for prizes. We know a couple of
twin children that would get q prize If
they could be entered for this purpose,
they live in Massillon.

DIED.

CRoSS-Upon September 18th, of Dysentsry.
Mrs. Susan Gross, aged 20 years, G months and
day.
The deceased was born in Westmoreland esun-
~, Pa, March II, 1873. In the fall Of 1886 she
came to Canton, but alter her marriage-which
occurred January sth, 1S57-she took up her resi-
dence in Massillon. There she lived, for the
most part, until 1851, when the family moved
again to Canton: More than half, therefore of
her long life, has been spent in Stark county. The
numerous and lasting friends, which she made
during the "a years when her home was in Mas
sillon, equally with those in our own city, will 81
deeply panied, when they learn of her sudden
decesss. Her scquaintances will be reminded,
that the aged ones who settled in our midst,in
the earlier times,ar rapidly leaving US. Through
all her long life she made her home the object of
her constant solicitude. Her home was the altar
upon which she laid her daily Offering. But the
voice, which, for so long a period was the joy Of
loving hearts, is hAhed. The chair in which It
was her wont to sit, is vacant. The seat at the
family table Is uhoccuPied. The aged and loved
wife and mother, hos gone to her reward and rest
gone to inhabit one of the mansions aboye-to
add to the happiness of the upper and heavenly
home. Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord, from hencefortb, yea saith the spirit, that
thAy may rest from their IaboTs, aad their works
do follow them.

From MassilIon.

Mr.. EDITOR The time for the election
of county officers for the next two years is
not far distant. In a material and fnan-
cial point of view, the Office of Treasurer
is of the utmost importance. The Demo-
cratic party of Stark county deserves to
be complimented upon the nomination of
so worthy q candidate as Mr. GEORGE
FESSLER, of Canton, who is known to be
one of the most honorable and honest men
in the county. Besides being well quail
fed for the position, he has also many
other meritorious points ofcharacter. He
speaks the German language as huently
as the English, and any one having bust
ness to transact with him can speak the
language that best suits him, and many
errors and mistakes will thus be avoided.
Taxpayers, Democrats, as well as Repnb-
licans, remember that your hard earned
money is to be entrusted to the care of ons
man. Be careful that You do not lose it
An unworthy or dangerous man should
not be entrusted with SO responsible a
trust as the county treasury. We have
no doubt but that Mr.. Fessler will be
elected as he deserves to be, for his hon.
esty, and uprightness; his habits and
manners; in fact, his large popularity
among rich and poor, high and low, Re-
publlcans and Democrats. ought to insure
his success.
But to make his election a triumph, a
croWnlng success, We would ask each one
to remember Mr. FEssLER, and those who
are not personally acquainted with him to
become so at once, and if they find it to
be true what we state, to vote for him and
labor otherwise for his election. II.

MAYORS CoURT.-Cemplaint having
been made, writs were issued by his Hon
or, Mayor Shields, and the Police on Sat-
urday evening last bounced down upon q
couple Of houses of i'll fame that have been
tolerated too long in our city. The follow
ing was the result v.
Daniel Nolan, fined and paid $50 and
costs. Hettie Nolan, fined and paid $50
and costs. Henry Good, fined and paid
$50 and costs. Mary Good, fined and paid
$50 and costs. Kitty Watson, fined and
paid $50 and costs. Lille Warner, fined
and paid $50 and costs. Ida May, fined
and paid $40 and costs. Annie Stier, fined
and paid $50 and costs. i James, o VS.
itor. fined and paid $40 and costs
All of the above parties were arrested
and disposed of on Saturday evening last.
For some time past no little complaint has
been made by different citizens Of the bold
and high handed name in which the
keepers and inmates of the above houses
OF Ill fame have been carrying on, but not
until the above named period was any
found possessed of sufficient moral courage
to come forward and file an affidavit. Up
on complaint being properly made, Mayor
Shields issned aWarraut for the arrestlnf
the parties, who, upon being arralgned,
were fined as above and given to under
stand that a continuance of their trade
would not only subject them to double
their present fine and costs, but to impris-
onment in the county jail for a period of
months. We might here add that it was
cause for regret that the City ordinance
under which the arrests were made wo'd'nt
admit of confinement in jail for the first
%offense. 1t is not often that our Mayor is
called upon to hold Court until l o'clock
at night, especially on a Sabbath morning
But in this instance, well may it be said
better the day, better the deed, etc.

OsNABURG.-A travelling electioneer-
ing dead beat, haillng from Canton, who is
FORMULATING the county in the interest
Of some of the radical candidates, visited
Osnaburg one evening last week. As he
had been raised in that locality il was
just there that this distinguished individ'
ual, late of Tennessee, could do the bust
ness. On the evening in question he Wis
tied q saloon and undertook to sweep
things. Present were three or four indus
trieus, civil citizens of French birth, one
Of whom, a blacksmith, of stalwart proper
tons could not be convinced that George
Fessler and Bill Baxter were unworthy Of
his vote. This Hi.hireling Of the Ring got
excited, Che is apt to when he can get
cheap whisky and began ding the
French any how. The blacksmith told
him very quietly he had better take care
for there was a Frenchman quite near him
But Hi didn't give a d-n and didn't
scare, &C." and the Tennessee champion
began to take off his ceat for business
The blacksmith told him this was a peace
able place and he must keep on his coat
which Hi did with French assistance. Be.
coming obstrepsrous and roaring and
demonstrative, Hi found himself of a sud-
den fiat on the floor. Disregarding all ad-
moaition and getting worse and worse it
found necessary to administer q slight
sedative over the eye-just one-that did
settle his hash for thattime. Uli, ali. ola,

Nothing Nav.

The many varieties and Brands of
Roasted Coffee to which the attention Of
consumers is constantly directed,
claim q superiority, mostly arising
from the admixture of some SUBJ
stance foreign to coffee, or by some new
roasting process. There is nothing that
detracts from the purity and flavor of
Roasted Coffee, so much as it being inter-
fered with by means Of steam, gkutinous,
poSty or other substances, applied either
during roasting or afterward. The only
desirable coffee is that which is roasted in
the good old fashioned way of our grand
mothers, adding only improved machinery.
S. Ewart& Co., the leading Grocery House
of Pittsburgh make a speciality Of choice
Roasted Coffee, offered to the consumer in
its native purity. 1t is not polished with
steam, glazed or CREASED to disguise the
quality Of the berry. Its bright rich APP
pearance is the natural result of uniform
roasting, of choice, thoroughly SQUAD Rio
Coffee. Rest assured that one trial will
make this brand for all time to come q
househon word, and will demonstrate its
superiority over all other brands. Many
of our retailers are now making a leader
of it. aDannamilIer &c Sons, Wholesale

81 had a dream which was not all a dream"
Why cannot 4 Democrat dream? And
why cannot he be allowed TO relate his
dream2 So here goes.
l had been reading late the other eve
ning-got engaged in Thurman's great
Speech in which he details that greatest
of sWindles, Credit Mobilior-read it with
care, and also what he says of Salary Grab
and other barefaced corruptions
In the earlier part of the same evening
l had glanced over q we'll known radical
party organ, to see how they met the va
rIous charges. The only discovery Imade
was that they denounce the Democratic
party-held Them as responsible for all
and every evil or at least were equally re-
sponsible with themselves. In this way did
the radical organ Justify, sanction and ap-
prove these acknowledged wrongs and
robberies.
That odious term Bourbon" was fire.
quently applied TO the old party Of Jeffer-
son and jackson; and Allen and Thurman
came in for q goodly share Of it all. 1t
was said Of the royal ourbons Of France,
Spain and Italy that they neither 'learn-
ed anything norforgot anything"
If the American people learn nothing
from the sad experience Of radical rule,
they are Bourbons indeed.
But to my dre2m- 49,
.W--Ind running actively on
these topics I felt asleep. l soon found
myself in strange company, among people
very plainly, nay poorly clad, but with
kindly countenauces. l soon perceived
all eyes were directed to a human figure
who had 4 countenance beaming with ef-
fulgence and the sweetest expression.
Outside Of the group in which l was,
stood q number Of well and richly dressed
people; some came and went in gay car
riages and in gay equipage. l noticed
these generally had q curl on their lips,
or scornfully pointed their finger toward
the individual on whom all eyes were cen
tered.
Becoming accustomed to TIE situation,
/ ventured to ask q man near me, who
that parsonage was.
Why, said he, that is Christ visiting
again this sinful and corrupt world, to
save it and rescue his cause from the
grasp of bad men. He will reiterate those
noble doctrines and enforce them by his
personal power and will. He had COM
menced to talk TO us before you came, but
some of these in their fine carriages and
rich attire. interrupted him and denounc-,
ed him as q false teacher. He was urging
as to do to others as We would that they
do to US, to do not evil that good may
come, and was illustrating, by a parable,
that, when the husbandman wishes to har-
vest wheat, he sows wheat Of a good quail
ity, not tares; no one expects to gather
figs save from a fig tree; and the fig tree
is raised only from the seed Of the fig.
This he was proceeding to say was the
law, when those men raised 4 great clam
or, calling all sorts of names and denounc-
ing HIM as l have said.
My friend ceased talking and when l
looked mp IpeTceived great confusion. and
he, whom my neighbor called. Christ, was
in the hands of officers who were dragging
him away. L made a spring forward to
attempt a rescue, calling all to assist me,
when 1 awoke, and foundit only a dream

Mr.. Amber never informed us on that
point. His name does not appear among
those who have returned the extra pay,

not done so, But he is of age, and can
