HORRIBLE DROWNING AFFAIR.


On Wednesday afternoon, August 2lBt, Mr.. Hal
derman, at the Halderman mill on the bank Of
Loon Lake, desiring hired girl, young man in
his employ-Joe Nickinson-offered TO 90 that af
ternoon and get one II Mr.. Halderman would
allow his time which he readily consented 10 do.
When Nlcklnson started he said II he hid not sue
oeed in getting girl that afternoon he would not
return until he did. He went immediately TO
Mr.. Hills, about threefourths OF a mile north
east Of Loon Lake and securing the services OF
Miss Katie Hill, and started back a little before
dark, going through the outlet Of Loon Lake into
Old Lake. When near the latter dog commenc.
ed terrific barking, The owner arose from bed
and went out TO ascertain the cause, and heard
woman screaming and man trying to pacify
her, and thinking no more oft went back to bed
This was about nine o'clock. Nothing more was
thought Of the matter Miss Hills folks thinking
that Katie was to work at Halderman's, and Hal
dermans thinking that NiCklnson had not got a
girl, and had gone somewhere else. On Friday
afternoon some boys out fishing discovered the
boat that II was known the unfortunate persons
had used, In 1t was found .Nickinsons coat and
a paper Of tobacco Search was Immediately be.
gun, and they were found on Saturday evening
about twenty-five or thrty-feet from the outlet Of
the lake, where the water was from ten to twelve
feet deep, both laying together There were no
marks Of violence on either Of them. How this
unfortunate affair came about will likely never
be known.
P. S.-Snce writing the above we learn that
Nlckinson and Miss Hill had at one time been en-.
gagged to be married, but owing to the dissolute
character of her suitor Miss Hill had rejected his
suit several times, Still perssting in pressing his
attentions the relation between the two were not
Of the most amicable character. The readers Of
the Post can draw their own conclusions as to
whether the drowning was accidental or not

AN UNFETTERED DEVIL.

Saturday evening shortly afler eight o'clock two
little girls, Carrie Lahm and Pet Bucher, were
walking toward home on North Market street,
when an unknown man stepped to Carries side
and asking some simple question took her by the
hand and slipped a pair of nippers around the
astonished child's wrists. Her companion imme.
diately alarmed the neighborhood with her
screams, being aided by the voice of the unfortu'
nate Carrie as soon as she could control it. The
uproar frightened the scOundrel and he ran down
Mr. Writings driveway. Carrie being released
ran to the German Catholic ChurchyaId and
crouched behind the stones and rubbish until a
couple of ladies passed. whose protection she in
voked, and by whom she was taken to the resi-
dence of Mr. Henry Myers although her home
was less than square away, Pet Bucher had in
the meantime ran home and aroused her family
and a search was Immediately instituted. Mr.
Lahm's family were terribly distressed until Mr.
Myers brought Carrie home. This man was un'
doubtedly stranger, and probably tramp; no
other would have attacked them so near home
but the frightened children can give no satisfac-
tory description of the scOundrel.

THE GOOD WORK IN CANTON.


AS is her want in all good works, Canton has
come forward gloriousy with aid for the suffering
South. No city in the North Of the same popula.
ton has eclipsed her donations we are sure. The
charity Of our city would cover a multitude Of
sins, and we sincerely hope will save null
ttude of lives. The ball was started rolling by
the different Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges of
the city who made contributions last week,
and Sunday the contributions for the bene-
fit of the sufferers made at the Presbyterian
Church amounted to the handsome sum of 800,
and at the Baptist Church s51 was taken in for the
same purpose, A project for concert with the
same noble and charitable end in view was or.
ganized last week. and our amateur talent re-
sponded magniacently, 1t was deemed best to
have the performance at the earliest possible
date and Monday evening was selected A large
and elegant audience was there and one and all
join in pronouncing the entertainment by far the
finest ever given by Cantons home talent. The
proceeds amounted to the gratifying sum of $780,
The money collected at the Presbyterian Church
was sent to the sufferers Through the Cincinnati
Gazette, and that realized from the concert was
sent directly to the president of the Howard Asso.
clation This terrible sCourge is at least teaching
the South that the North is in sympathy with her
and means what is said about "paCiication.'
This Is the sort Of adversely which lshows the bet
ter and most beautiful side of human nature
The good people Of Canton will never regret haV
ing cast their bread upon the water.
