A VALUABLE INvENTIoN.-Thomas D. McCor.
mick OF Massillon, was granted patent on the
twenty fifth Of last month for an improvement in
corn harvesters, and the machine itself may be
seen on the Mccormick farm, between Canton
and MassillOn. Farmers should see this inven.
tion for themselves and it is altogether probable
that In time for next seasons harvest a sufficient
number of these effective implements will be
manufactured to supply, at least in part, the de-
mand that will surely be made for them. The
advantages of the invention are manifold, and
practical farmers cannot fail to note them at
sight. II can be attached to any harvester or
moving machine, and by combination of parts
the corn can be moved as grass carried on reel
to hinged platform evenly and nicely and
thrown whenever desired by the driver. We have
seen the machine, and though not protesting to
have much of an ability to see far into me-
chanical combinations we could not help seeing
that this machine works perfectly and is destined
to prove one of the most important labor saving
implements on any farm. Wehaye been recently
informed W. B. Blake of this city, experienced
In valuable patents and B. F. Umbenhour Of
Massillon, have purchased an interest in the
patent.

Observation-Disclosures riot case was tried on
Friday last before Judge Kirkpatrick. The de.
fendant was young man named David Day, re-
siding at Freedom, Pa who was indicted on two
charges entering building with intent to COM
nit felony, and larceny in stealing railroad
tickets from the office of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, Union Depot, on Sunday, July
22nd. Day was arrested with lot of tickets in
his possession, and from admissions made by him,
his conviction was brought about. The testimony
developed the interesting manner in which the
case was worked up. The jury retired and after
delirerating for about an hour, returned YER
dict of guilty, but recommended the prisoner Ia
the mercy of the conrt. Judge Kirkpatrick then
| sent for the prisoner and sentenced him to foul
years in the penitentiRry and fine of $500, the
full extent In sentencing, the Judge said he did
not see why recommendation for mercy had
been made by the jury The prisoner was re-
manded to jail and later in the day was taken to
the penitenuary.
L. D. Clark, who was tried on Thursday for the
larceny OF gun from Downs store, was found
guilty, the jury having returned such verdict
upon the opening OF court yesterday, Judge
Kirkpatrick called him up for sentence, told him
| that he regarded him as leader Of the gang OF
rioters and that he didn't believe word Of the
defense. He then sentenced him to pay fine OF
$500 and to undergo term Of three years i'm.
priaonment In the penltentiary, which was as Sc.
| we're sentence as could be imposed.

Secretary Canton Gas Light Company
SHREWD RASCALITY.

twill be remembered that last fall this section
of the State, and especially Canton and vicinity
had remarkable sequence Of successful safe
burglaries, which for a long time batiied the
efforts oft police, but were finally checked. 1t
would now seem that early preparations are be.
ing made to open another campaign of safe rob-
bing on grand, bold ahd renewed scale, such as
requires all the ingenuity OF the most notorious
and coolest headed cracksmen in the country.
This will be understood by all when the fact is
known that during the night Of Tuesday or morn
ing of yesterday, the Office Of the Diebold Safe &
Lock Company Of this city was burglariously en-
tered and a desk therein forcibly opened, from
which were abstracted the recorded combinations
of all the safes sold by this company, or at least
all such records it contained. This, without
doubt, is one of the shrewdest acts of crime ever
committed in Ohio, though not SO enormous as
many. Nothing else was taken or tampered with
but the combinations, and that in itself Is sufi'
ciently indicative.

constable of this city, INDUCED in an unexpected
ablution last Friday evening. Mr., Wagner is the
member who has charge of the Knights of Py-
thias hall in Hanes block, and Friday evening
while attending to his duties about the building,
he had occasion to enter the cellar There is an
old well opening into this cellar, and by some
means some of the planks used to cover it were
removed, and while wandering about in the
darkness, Wagner suddenly dropped kerchuck
into the hole and found himself up to the chin in
chilly water. Fortunately the arrangement of
the walls were such as he was enabled to get out
easily, but the suit OF clothes he wore weren't in
the most agreeable condition.

father when the latter urged him to fly, that he

asserts that he saw, on South Poplar street. about
one o'clock last Tuesday morning, a procession
of twelve men wrapped from head to foot in
white cloth of some kind and wearing high
peaked caps, evidently of paper. They were led
by one who carried drawn sword, evidently of
tin, and four of them who followed after, carried
ON their shoulders box like coffin. They were
marching northwsrd. Others in the neighbor-
hood heard tramp of feet about the same time,
but did not arise TO see the cause.
