1t is reported that Judge Taylor
purposes TO resign his seat on the
Common Pleas bench in time to admit
of the nomination of his successor for
the place and for his election at the
coming election. There is much in
terest felt, especially among the MEM
bers of the bar, as to who shall wear
the judicial robes. Big Asa Jones
seems to be working hard to make his
calling and election sure, but there are
others who think the place desirable

lawyers would not decline the nomi-
nation. But Asa holds big hand. 3

Sad Suicid e,

DIR. Charles w. Trask, a well known
and much respected citizen Of Mantua
Station, died at his residence in that
village, at about ten O'Clock on Mon
day morning, from the effect of five
grains of morphine, which he obtain
ed the evening previous, and admin
istered with his own hands. The Doc
tor had been SO much out of health for
about two months past as to he unable
to attend to any kind of business. His
disease was of the kidneys, affecting
the nei vous system, depriving him of
eep, and doubtless causing mental
arrangement. On Friday last he paid
us brief visit, and from his conversa-
tion and appearance, we were led to
hope that he was in fair way to a
speedy recovery, and we were aston
ished when we learned on Monday of
his sad fate. He evidently intended
suicide. ss he left a number of letters
to friends, and also left in his Office six
last requests, signed his name thereto,
and gave directions for the disposal Of
his remsins after death, and relating
to other matters. Among them was
the following: 'a'
"3d Request II wish the funeral to
be held at my own house, with no ser
vices other than the making of few
remarks by some person who knew me
best, and the singing of a cheerful song
by friends. Against the absurdity of
the custom of employing man who
perhaps knows as little of the deceased
rs he does Of the Patagonians, to preach
general sermon abOunding with the
dry platitudes of his own narrow creed,
i wish To enter my, solemn protest"
In pursuance with the above, and
the remarks the Doctor had made at
other times to his wife and friends, they
chose w. B. Thomas, ESQ.,, to make
the address, in place of u sermon. The
Doctor and Mr.. Thom,s were boys to-
gether on Hiram Hill. A well desei We
ed tribute was paid to the memory of
the Doctor. '
A large number of people attended
the funeral, who were all greatly mOv-
ell by the loss of so good man.
He was a gentleman of fine literary
attaipments, highly entertaining and
instructive in conversation, skilled in
his profession, and a model man for
strict truth and answering integrity.
He was extremely sensitive to criti-
cism, for he always aimed to be right.
He was born in Garrettsville, Sept.
9Th, 1886, and leaves u widow, and two
sons-five and eighteen years old, re-
mourn their great loss,
which will also be deeply felt by his
large circle of friends and acquain-
tances. .abu 3leut fn3i4slGir1

We could fill columns of commenda-

Coombs' rendition of the character Of

Miss Coombs impersonation of Ju-

magnetic force and dramatic power as
it was last evening, to one OF the finest
and largest audiences of the season.

day. Thirty~four counties out of
fifty two show net republican gains
over the previous figures of thirty
five votes. There is considerable
difference between the vote for diff

result so close it is quite possible a
divided ticket may prove to be elect.

is beaten beyond question.
Official returns from all the coun-

trict, except Eulare, Mariposa and
Inyon, which are full, but not official
give Pacheco, republican, 153 major

material changes, and his election il

enough have been received to deter
mine that the HancocS electors

electe' Al assemblymen, giving then

NEW YORK.

WASHINGTON, Nov. GA special to
the Star from New York says the
democrats are seriously at work,
obtaining evidence of fraud on the
nart of republicans, with view to
having the vote of New York count
ed for Hancock. The pressure to
omen the contest for the vote of the
state comes principally from the
southern states, and mainly from
Kentucky and Richmond, Va.
irving and Tammany hall and the
s+ota democratic committees have
been diigent at work, and
claim to have made discoveries which
astound those engaged in the inves-
+;oation. The national democratic
Committee has not yet taken hold of
the matter, but it's executive COM
mittee meets Friday. At that meet
ing the reports from three other
committees, now working the subject
ND, will promise to furnish affidavits
to prove frauds involving over
twenty thousand votes. These COM
mittees will request the national
committee to insist upon the appoint
ment of a congressional committee
of investigation into the New York
election, and make it the very first
business of both houses at the ap-
preaching session.
The republicans have done moth
ing, believing up to this time, as
Gen. Hancock is utterly opposed to
any scheme of the kind, and says so
nothing would come of the talk. Blu
now they propose to be ready to de
mand that the same class of inves-
tigation shall proceed under thel
auspices in certain southern state
and here, also, to prove democrati
frauds.
Three or four democratic Sena
tors have already been heard from
Senator Davis, of West Virginia
says be will not be party to it, bu
will oppose any attempt to open tn
affair, and others say they will no
think of giving it countenance. 1
nervous feeling prevails here an
nothing but some public declaratio,
from enough democratic congress
men to settle the matter now Wi
avert the unsteadiness in bushes
that is threatening to happen and t
