FATAL ACCIDENT.

We are calledupon TO announce most
painful accident with fatal termination
which occurred last Saturday evening
about o'clock, in the yards of the At
lantic & Great Western Railway, result
ing in the death of most estimable
young man-William Il, Baker. de was
engaged in the duty of making up a
freight train preparatory to its leaving,
and while in the act of making a coup
ling, walked with his left hand on the
pin, and his back toward the engine,
which was slowly backing up, his foot
became wedged in the frog Of the track,
and the car striking him in the back, he
was thrown down, the wheels passing
over his right leg, thigh and shoulder,
crushing and mangling these members
in o horrible manner, and lninct-
ing fatal injuries. He was picked
mn and carried to the waiting-room,
in the depot, and medical assistance inn
mediately summoned though hs injuries
were such as to place him beyond
the reach Of human skill, and after lin
Verin0 in the most painful agony until 10
O'clock his spirit fed from its tenement
of mortal clay, and the soul of William
f. Baker was waited into eternity.
He was young man highly connect,
ed. of excellent character, and possessed
the friendship of all who knew him. He
leaves an aged mother and three sisters
to mourn his loss, who received the sym
pathy of the community in their be-
reavement. r.
His remains were inferred on Tuesday

ZINE Art.

The most beautiful and attractive feature in the
Floral hall at the fair Of last week, and the one Of
all others, that caused most comments of admira-
ton from all visitors, was the fine art display from
the model gallery of s. v. Courtney SS and S5 s,
Market street. His pictures without an exception
were fine and some of them showed an excellence
ofstyle and finish, rarely produced even by the
best operators in the large eastern galleries
Courtney is, without doubt, an experienced and
observing photographer, who has evidently made
his profession the sole study Of HIS life, and
succeeded in attaining point Of superiority that
entities him to the name Of an artist and the con
dderahon Of all admirers of art. Call at his
rooms in Matthew's block, Market and sth streets
and dexamine hsspecimen pictures.

STARK COUNTY EAIR-ADDENDA


Our report of the fair last week, closed
with the exhibition and performances of
Thursday. Among the numerous articles
and exhibitors that were found in the
hall, we neglected to mention few de-
served ones:
Levi Stump had on exhibition a large
and varied display of fine fruits, that at
tracted great degree of notice.
Lewis Essig, also deserves mention for
fine array in the same department.
M. Ruhmans show Of clothing was
worthy of examination, and comprised
some fine work and elegant goods.
On Friday the attendance was large and
great interest was manifested by all pres
ent. Some time was consumed in awarl-
ing the premium flags and displaying
stock for the ring. The attraction of the
day, however, was the fremen's parade
and the Hook and Ladder tournament.
In the parade, the Canton department
was well represented by Hose companies,
Fire police, Dunbar hooks and Steamer
company. The carts were all beautifully
decorated, and the steamer glistened like
new miEroS reheoting credtably upon
the care given it by the boys that run
the masheen."
The only visiting companies present,
were the Alliance Hooks and the Cleo
Hooks of Massillon, who, with their neat
uniforms, constituted a noticeable fea-
lture in the procession.
IN The contest for the trumpet was open
ed at O'Clock P. NJ, the Dunbar Hooks
not engaging in the sport.
The Cleo's ran first and at the end OF
40 rods had their man on the top of the
ladder in 40 seconds, The Alliance com
pany then ran, doing the same work in
38 seconds, and winning the prize-both
companies used sporting trucks. The
same two companies then engaged inan.
other contest for the sweepstakes prize
both using the Canton duty truck; this
was also won by the Alliance company

n,IfNoIs-We notice by the Pikecoun-
ty, ILL.,, Democrat of the 18th ult. thatScott
Wike ESQ, of that county is the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress III that, the
Sixteenth district. Mr.. Wike is lawyer
of high standing in that State and very
popular, we learn, as a man, Mr.. Wilkes
grandfather in the early history of this
county was resident of Plain township,
and we are informed was the first Justice
of the Peace in that township. He re-
mained here but few years and then re-
turned to Pennsylvania. Mr.. Scott
Wilkes grandmother was sister Of the
late Adam and Jacob Essig, Of this coun-
ty. Three sisters of the old Essig stock
are yet living-all residing in this coun-
ty, Mrs. Pontius, widow and mother OF
ESQUIRE Pontius, Mrs. Peter Pontius and
Mrs. Henry Miller. It will be seen that
Mr.. Wike is of good Democratic stock,
and we hope he will be triumphantly
elected to the next Congress. Good and
honest stock is somewhat needed in that
quarter.

on Sunday morning, the 18th inst,
child, aged about two years, strayed from
the yard of its parents, and got on the
track of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago railroad. While playing there
the whistle of the western bound day
express was sounded as it rounded the
curve a short distance from where the
child was. The engineer saw the person
of the child on the track, took in at a
glance its exposure to danger, and with
trembling hand sounded the alarm and
whistled down brakes with vim that
startled every person in the neighbor-
hood. His warning came too late, the
train, although held, by atmospheric
brakes, dashed on, the engine striking
the child, lifting it in the air and throw
it some feet from the track. Mr.. Bropst,
who was near at hand and witnessed the
accident, picked up the child, carried II
in his arms to the house, but 1t died in
few moments thereafter It's legs and
arms were broken, and its skull badly
injured = Upper. Sdndtlsky Union. &
