OUR Cry CoUNC1L.-our Democratic friends
in the city council declare they did not intend to
insult the Democracy Of Canton in electing three
Republicans as Trustees Of the Hartford bequest
This may be, but there stands the fact, and our
friends Of the city council ought to realize it.
It seems the council voted for Trustee one at
a time, and the generous Democratic members
run the Republicans ahead and elected them and
beat the Democrats such capable men 100, as
Leopold Biechele and Joseph Schott! We
can perceive no valid excuse for such result
Men who take upon themselves such a responsi-
bility are supposed to be competent to discharge
its duties with due regard TO the interests Of the
city and not wholly ignore and insult their
friends who placed them there.

SORROWFUL ACCIDENT.

At the close Of the morning recess on Friday,
a serious accident occurred to Clara Haines, the
little daughter Of R. G. Haines Of East Fourth St
As she was about to enter the east door the key
stone weighing perhaps $50 pounds, and several
bricks came tumbllng about her. She was
knocked down and severely bruised in various
places but especially on her head and feet. She
was Immediately carried home and physicians
called, who found 1t necessary to amputate one
other toes. 1t is miracle that the little girl was
not killed outright which would have undoubt.
edly been the case had the key stone struck her.
The building was erected in 1878, and the brick
work was done by Peter Wolf, 1t is supposed
that the slamming Of the heavy door has loosened
the masonry about them, but key stone is not
supposed to be merely ornamental.

But fall to examine the mind within
To make it calm and sweet
We gaze In the mirror often
To see that all is true
All properly adjusted
For ours and neighbors' viewl
How seldom poor humanity
Keep off from Vanity Fair
To smooth and balance the mind within
And perfect action there
