When Governor Roberts went into
Office, he reported to the legislature
that there was in the Treasury the sum
of $479, 935. This was cash left to his
administration by his predecessor in
Office, and was on hand June 1, 1879.
The deficiency in the appropriation
amounted to $293, 900. This was the
money on hand snd the floating IN
debtedness of the state.
Governor Roberts, in his message of
January 80, 1879, said: ''There Is now
in the treasury on hand, of current
revenue, available for the payment of
debts and for carrying on the govern
ment, only about SO, 900. There is
no probability of money coming into

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Leetonia, Ohio, Nov. 1st. 1880.

Leetonia, Ohio Nov 1st, 1880
At special meeting Of the Augsburg Synod,
| Evan. Luth. Church held at Mansfield, o., Oct.
1928 last 1t was unanimously resolved that the
following undivided expression Of our feelings be
sent to the Stark County DEMOCRAT and Canton
Repository FOR publication:
Resolved, That In the death Of Rev. Gottlieb
Zlegler who was born In Wertenberg Germany,
April Goth 1890 emigrated TO this country with his
parents in 1888, and who died at his home near
Paris, Stark county, Ohio, on the 22d OF October
last OF heart disease, we have lost an eXemp pary
member and worthy president Of our Synod and
us only to be loved.
Resolved, Furthermore, that we deeply sympa
thize with his bereaved family and the devoted
flock who has lost good shepherd and guide,
who has ministered to their spiritual wants for
over third Of century.
Although gradually sinking for the last IA years
under the exhausting effects Of diseased and
debilltated frame he was nevertheless earnest and
regular In the discharge Of every duty pertaining
to the vocation wherewith he was called, even so
as to venture almost beyond the bounds Of pru-
dence until about six weeks before his death his
determined spirit had to yield.
Though his light was obscured by temporary
cloud yet was his path In an emphatic sense like
the rising sun, shining more and more unto the
perfect day"
He was at all times the selfsame plain, practical
man. One who did not indulge himself and
consume his time In intellectual luxuries, but
employed his time and talent in pursuits immedi.
ately connected with the immortal destnies Of
man,
HE preached always so as to be understood
not reducing his arguments to the dry bones of
syllogism."
mo one could hear the plain unvarnished
truths" as the fell from his lips, with indiffer.
ence.
That "his death was the funeral Of all his sor.
rows and the resurrection Of all his Joys" he fully
evinced, for the exchange Of worlds he Oontem.
plated with complacency, expressing It a desira.
BILE event, devoutly prayed for It's contamination,
and now we trust has entered that secure haven
where the storm is nOtheard-where the agitation
of the elements is not felt-where no wave Of
trouble ever breaks upon the peaceful shore
where not ripple disturbs the deep serenity
which reflects to the astonlshed eye the beauty,
brightness and majesty of the skies. A. NJ.

Of Alliance completely demollshlng nine freight
cars. VIII sefert. brakeman who was standing
between two cars, vas crushed to death. Con.

with the fifth section was considerably bruised
and had his ankle hurt. The cars Of section FIVE
next to the engine were filled with hogs, Of which
ten were killed. The remainder escaped into the
woods Engine 3Ol was total wreck 1t took
some time before the debris was cleaned away
and trains were delayed several hours, The acci-
dent was caused by dense fog which prevented
the engineer Of section FIVE from seeing that he
was so close upon section four, until it was too
late to stop. The funeral Of Will Setert took
place from his fathers residence in Alliance last
Sunday and was largely attended. Many friends
and relatives mourn his untimely death.

KILLED IN SELF DEFENSE.

In last weeks DEMOCRAT was published an ac-
count Of the quarrel between Mr.. Zephaniah Mil.
Ter and his farm hand, Harry Deaters, near Canal
Fulton, In which the former was knocked down
and fatally injured by the latter In self defense.
Last Saturday morning Miller died from the Of
fects OF the blow Nj, Miller was thrifty far.
mer but was a hard drinker and to the latter can
be attributed his death. Returning home from
Canal Fulton week ago last Saturday, under
the influence of liquor, he became euarrelsome
and abusive. Enraged at some small matter he
attacked Dealers who is about IS years old, with
a long pole and striking at him said I'm kill
you" Deaters, whom Miller had backed up into
a corner, warned Miller off and threatened t.
strike him with a club, which was lying near by
unless he desisted. Incensed all the more Miller
again attacked Deaters bnt before he could strike
him, Deaters seized the club, struck Miller on the
head and felled him insensible to the ground
Every effort to save the unfortunate man was
made without success and he died about 1SO
o'clock last Saturday morning. Deaters who yet
resides with the family, is badly worked up over
the unfortunate affair. He will not be arrested
however as he acted solely on the defensive.

the Arkansas Traveller" Exit" has been on the
American stage for ten years past and continues
unabated to hold It's popularity. Speaking Of Mr.
Chanfrau and Kit" the Philadelphia Ledger
says Kit, the Arkansas Traveller is essentially
an American melodrama, and bears the honor Of
being one OF the originals of the modern school
OF character representations Kit is a life.like
picture of the Western man OF distinct type,
iull OF pluck, ever on the alert for adventure,
fond to a remarkable degree Of the convivial
cup, and made up Of qualities oddly at variance,
all of which have the effect of mixing sentiment
with fun in manner that enchains the interes t
and is very amusing. The play embraces mum

The Traveller" Mr.. Chanfrau has played the
part so often that 1t has grown as familiar as that
popular actor himself 1t is safe to say that Kit
is as great favorite as ever.

DISMISSED FOR POLITICS.

Jacob Race for several years past the faithful janl
tor at heCourt House was summArlly discharged on
Monday for no other reason than voting the Demo
cratic ticket. Common decency, one would suppose
would have induced the Commissioners to have Civ.
en- Mr.. Race week or two's notice so that he might
have looked for another job. His fidelity as anitor
made him deserving OF this When he asked the
reason for this sudden dismissal he was told he lid
not UOte right" We are really surprised at such
treatment from the Republican County Commission
ers toward such an industrious man as Mr.. Race. He
is poor and needs to improve his time for his famiys
sake. Mr. N Llndemuth got the place because he
U0Les right.
Itwould seem that our Republican authorities in
Stark are acting the principle that ITO the victor
belong the spolls"
They ought. however, to act with some regard to
fair dealing and at least give a worthy poor man
fair notice to quit. In the future we trust the Com
mlssloners will so act.
