MAYORS COURT.

Several seances during the past week. The first
caller, attended by Il guard, was Charles France
for petit larceny, Charles called 1t guilty, and
heard the Mayor gently breathe forth something
about ten dollars and ten days
John Fisher is vag. special and suspicious
case Ihe philosophical him ana he spotted the 20.
ice at the same time, and showed his heels. The
officers drew an extra breath and sailed in, and
after chase from Cherry street along the rail-
road to AultmaAs shop John gave up and was
scooped. They found on Johns person file,
screw driver and candle, and the Mayor gave him
$40 and committed him.
Drunk! "Drunk' means good deal TO a man
who Is led forth from the lookup on cold morn
ing with purple nose, watery eyes sore head
and hair pulling in thirty.three hundred dIrec-
tions, especially when he is not afforded chance
to take down an eye.opener This was the case
with Thomas COnnors, on last Monday, and his
honor thought Tom had damaged his constitution
to the amount of So, but as he hadn't that amount
about him. he was committed.
Drunk, two times VIM. Ray got that way too.
He does not take that kind of whisky that causes
man to lie down and dream sweetly of pink bull
dogs and lemon coored elephants, but on the con
trary, he became decidedly wakefu and imag-
ined himself to be steam saw mill, and tried to
act as near like a saw mill as was possible, But
the police came buzzing round and took William
where he had an opportunity of displaying five
dollar bill.
Vagrancy. George NJ, Peck he said was his
name, and by occupation he was a watchman :;
laid round the streets, you know, and watched for
men to drop pocket books and diamonds and gold
lockets, so he could go and pick them up. But
trade got dull and the officers thought George had
no visible means Of support, except two big feet
and a pair of handy legs, so they pulled him. Ten
dollars and three days.

BILLS ALLOWED.

THE JAIL,-New Lisbon is troubled about the
unsafe condition of her Jail, having confined
therein man sentenced to be hanged for MUIR
der But New Lisbon and Columbiana county
didn't pay thirty or forty thousand dollars for a
prison, as stark county recently did, ana yet we
have as much cause for complaint here as they
have, Notwithstanding the lame and false asser-
tons made in the Repository The fact is the Rep.
knows nothing about what 1t says, and has never
gone to authentic sources for Its news concerning
the escape of prisoners. It's antiquated and played
out scribbers saw good chance to malign and
abuse as good Sheriff as Stark county ever has
had, Just because he laid their 500 pet in the
shade, and they Jump at the chance as hungry
dog bounces bone without knowing what they
say So far as that false and base assertion about
the prisoners going hungryis concerned, we know
ii to be maliciousy untrue the prisoners are as
well fed in the Canton jail as in any prison in the
State though if they were to be fed on food fit for
a royal prince and furnished bills of fare printed
on gold, there would occasionally be found a
sorehead among them who as constitutional
grumbler is bound to complain about something,
We have found this to be the experience of sew
eral exsheriffs, and the present sheriff of an ad
joining county, and consider our sources of infor
nation authentic, and not made up from COM
mon street reports. The Canton Jail is not GER
tain place of safe confinement and never was, as
any men who know anything about such work
can readily see for themselves. 1t savOrs strongly
of shOddy workmanship and material, and the
weak places are now being made safer by Can
ton firm who know where the thing was imper-
feet and unsound.

A PERSISTENT COLLECToR.-Some tims since a
certain travelling man came to Canton and put up
at one of the hotels. He was rather stylish and
lived well, plying his business on the streets
every day. One day certain collector, who
isn't noted for his modesty, received letter from
man in Southern Ohio enclosing bill of about
fifty dollars with instructions to collect from this
travelling gentleman. The bill was an old one,
and its collection had been tried and urged at
different times during period Of several years.
The man, in writing to the collector, told that he
number Of different collectors, but to no purpose,
and that the debtor had made assertions that ten
or twelve constables had tried to collect that bill
but he beat all Of them, and would beat this one
too But in the letter to this one there was a lit
tie proposition that beat the travelling man. Said
proposition was from the creditor, he agreeing to
pay the collector fifty cents for each and every
time he would dun the debtor, and with this little
proposition and the bill to back him, he sailed out
onto the street, and whenever he beheld his vic
tim talking business to any one on the streets, no
matter when, where or who the parties were, he
would step up and ca TN his fifty cents. He did so
several times, and finally, one nice day when the
streets were thronged, the collecting iend, like
Nemesis, started out on the war path, and during
the course Of that day, he dunned the travelling
man at different places on the street, Just twenty
two times and finally the latter grew so furiousy
tired of the game, that he acknowledged himself
beaten, and paid the whole amount, including in
terest and treat for the boss collector.

certain guest at one of the Canton hotels laid
down in the Office the other evening and fell
asleep He is a man whose imagination is al
ways a source of trouble to him, and withal
mild and timid man. As he lay there in silent
slumber, young man belonging to the hotel
went out and called an undertaken and together
they went to the Office, and the man of cottins
pulled out tape line and began taking the
sleepers measure. While this was going on he
awoke, and seeing an undertaken stretching
tape line up and down, across and around his
body, he let his wild imagnations loose, and his
mind was wrought up to a painful pitch when
told he had been lying in trance, and they
thought him dead man. The jOkers insisted on
his lying peaceful and still, and allowing the
measure to be taken, ashe couldn't live long any
how, and finally he jumped up and said if they
didn't shut up ABOUT cofins he'd leave the house
and community forever. And they shut up.
