-Ws hsve seldom known 81 general ana
heartfelt disappointment and regret As
shows itself over the huxtering Of some Of
tn. township delegation at jefferson. and
the defeat thereby Of Capt. Stiles as can
di5ate for sheriff. The feeling is so strong
that it has already shown itself in insubOr-
dination and numerous requests from indi-
vidnals and townships that Stiles allow
himself to be brought before the people as
an independent candidate, and We under
stand that the movement and feeling is
extending.
The Senior, having been of tripod
duty, in attendance upon the County and
Congressional Conventions, the two first
days Of the week. and being obliged to take
another to get back into the traces again,
It is due that the reader should be sPPrised
of the fact that for any improvement IN
the makeup Of the Telegraph, he is inoeot-
cd to the Junior, who cheerfully and gen
erously took the labOring oar with tne
laudabIe ambition to demonstrate to the
world that something's could be done as
well as Others.
AT As o'clock last Wednesday morn
AN attempt at burglary was made in the
bonse of Patrick Caul, who is a laborer on
the l. s. &M. S. Ry. and lives near the
depot in tins place. Atthat hour Bridget
Furlong who lives with Caul was aroused
from her slumbers by the hoise made by the
burglar, and she screamed "bloody mur-
der" to the top of her voice; this frighten.
ed the fellow and he left in double quick
time without securing any property. Mr..
Caul the day before had been paid one
months wages which fact the burglar was
probably aware Of.
Last week Tuesday S1OO bill was
s1olen from Mr.. A. P. Swartzout, keeper
of the Ocean restaurant at the Harbor.
The money was locked up in a trunk and
the key was laid under q pillow, IN one Of
the rooms and during a short absence Of
the family the money was taken. Suspi-
cions pointed to certain person whs will
undoubtedly be arrested and convicted.
LATER.-A young man named Chapman,
son-in-law of Mr.. Swartzout. while under
the influence of liquor, deposited at the
Ashtabula National Bank last Wednesday
afternOon the 800 bill, taking only 25
cents Of it. Mr. Swartzout was notified of
it and procuring an attachment secured the
money. Chapman has not, we believe,
been arrested.
The people of Warren are Whole-souled
and generous, and their hospitality is new
er hid under bushel. In attendance at
the Congressional Convention on Tuesday
last we had an opportunity to witness and
enjoy something Of these qualities. Mr..
Harmon Austin, is one of Warren's most
active and worthy citizens, and to him es-
pecially are we indebted for kindly atten-
tions which made our visit mueh,the more
pleasant. We regretted, however, that We
were unable to visit that place Of interest
the fsgstOne quarry Of Mr.. Austin, with
which he is tagging Warren and the sur
rounding region. Bro. Ritezel of the
Chronicle, of course. was not lacking in
attentions to the press, of whom there
were representatives Of the Leader
Smalley of the Herald, N. r Times,
Campbell of the Youngstown Register,
Howells of the Sentinel, Converse of the
Geauga Republican, and ScOheld of the
Painesville Telegraph. Warren is beau
tiful and busy town and blessed with wealth
and growth snd prosperity.
