Canal Fulton.

The Easily House at Canal Fulton is a
good place at which to put up. From
what we observed last week while there
many others seem to understand it.
The village contains over one thousand
Inhabitants and the country around is
well populated. Considerable coal is
mined in the vicinity, the canal in the
open season and the two railways, c., T..
V. 81 w. and the Mt. Vernon branch,
transport it. The public schools have
enrolled some three hundred pupils. We
called upon our friend Doctor Archibald
B. Campbell and had pleasant chat. We
also made the acquaintance of Doctor
Dressinger; and did not forget to drop in
upon G. w. Breeze, Esq. The Borrower
Bros. are in the grocery business in the
Easily block; and C. IL. Sullivan deals in
the same line across from the American.
III. +. German & Co. are in the tin and
stove trade. Mr.. Charles Liable is en-
gagged in the shoe business and his store
indicates business. Mr.. John Metzger is
in the grocery business next door to
Liable. John Schrader's meat shop is in
the same row, and John furnishes a
tirst-class article. We met eX-Infirmary
Director William StOYeT, and he is al
ways the solid Democrat and worthy
gentleman. Mr.. StOVer is at present one
of the Trustees of the Children's Home
and the good people of Fulton and
vicinity gave an oyster supper on Fri
day evening for the benefit of the chill
dren at the Home.

Hazel Kirke.

The coming engagement in this city
of the noted New York Madison Square
Theatre Company, is being looked for
ward to with no little interest on the
part of our people generally, and we ara
certain their most sanguine anticipa-
tiOnS will be more than realized in the
production here of that brilliant dra-
matte gem, Hazel Kirke." 1t has been
received with unbOunded enthusiasm
wherever presented, and when we say
that for novelty and thorough enjoy
ment it surpasses any play now before
the public, we but voice the universal
sentiment of those who have witnessed
it: The New York Tribune, speaking of
Hazel Kirke," says: "WithOut doubt
this domestic drama is very fascinating.
In fact is is more. 1t is touching to q
point of tenderness and sympathy which
the morbid effects of the French drama
cannot approach. There is spirit of
hOmely candOr and truth about it that
enlists the most Indifferent. The cOm-
edy and pathetic elements are most han
PLY blended, forming a stage-picture
that is remarkable for its realism" Re
member the date of its production here.
Thursday evening, January 18th. This
company carries its own scenery of new
and elegant designs.

A rIeasant christmas oeeasion.

In response to invitations, twenty-five
or thirty friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Schaefer, assembled at their residence
on North Market street on Sunday even
ing last. Besides the holiday it was the
anniversary of Mr.. Schaefer's birth, and
the rec, MT MARI age Of the h ,st and

appropriate. The company consisted of
members of the press and other friends.

BOLD BURGLARS
Make a Big Haul at the Residence of Mr..
Julius whiting.

Make Big Haul at the Residence of Mr..
julius whiting.
A daring burglary was successfully
performed at the residence of Mr.. julius
Whiting, on North Market street, be-
tween three and four o'clock Wednesday
morning. The burglars, two in number,
gained entrance through a window in a
basement kitchen, and from thence had
access to the hallway and all the rooms
of the house. The bedroom of Mr.. Whit
ing was entered, and through some
slight noise made by the maTauders, he
was awakened. The gas was burning
dim and by it he saw that his clothing
was missing. Suspecting mischief, he
armed himself with his revolver and
started toward the hall door. Just before
reaching it, the door was opened from
without and cooked revolver
stared him in the face. Its owner
covered his face with his dis
engaged hand and ordered Mr.. Whiting
to lay his weapon down, which he did.
The fellow then kept Mr.. Whiting COW
cred with his revolver while his pal
made away from the house with the
clothes. After the latter had gone he
admOnished Mr.. Whiting to remain quiet,
and silently departed. Mr.. Whiting
then fired his revolver out of a window
His son, julius Jr., was awakened by the
ItpOIG duu SOOu JOlueu MS ldUleT. sew
eral more shots were then fired, and pO-
liceman Sell was attracted thither. That
official called several other policemen,
and the northern part of the city was
secured in vain for the culprits. In the
morning the clothes, devoid of their
contents, were found in the yard of Mr..
Augustus Biechele, on Poplar street.
The yaluables missing are a diamond
pin, worth probably $12, watch.
that cost $3.50 and 50 in money,
By the aid of the gas, Mr.. Whiting was
enabled to get glimpse of the fellows,
and on the strength of their appearance
he swOre out aflidavits before Mayor
PierO for the arrest of Jerome Markle
and John Shearer. Markle was arrested
about 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon at
StOut's saloon, in the Elben building,
which saloon he has recently purchased.
He was taken before Mayor PierO and
had Abner Mckinley, Esq, sent for, to
act as his attorney. When the latter
arrived he entered plea of uOt guilty
and hearing was set for next Tuesday
morning. Shearer was arrested about
two hours later, and likewise pleaded
not guilty. They each furnished bond
of $500 and were released. Markle's
mother is his surety and Mr.. A. Rensel-
laer is surety for Shearer.

parted dear one, by may,dng their last

well finished and handsome as human
skill can make them. His large line of

you need snch an article it will pay you
to call npOn Mr.. Haubert and inspect
his work.

Owing to the fact that the Executive
Committee IF the Agricultural Society
at its meeting on the 18th, nominated
one of its ewn members as President,
contrary to all parliamentary rule and
practice, and to the best interests of the
Society, we certainly feel that a new
ticket should be nominated by the mem
bers of the Society. For that purpose
we would favor call of the members to
meet at the Court House on Saturday,
December 31st, at p. III. for the pur-
pose of nominating new ticket. Let
all members turn out.

A dangerous, but successful surgical
operation, was performed Tuesday last.
upon the person of Mrs. George Prince
by DR.. Fraunfelter, assisted by DIR.
Slusser and DR.. r. d. Walker. 1t was a
case of strangulated intestine. and af-
ter every effort had been made to relieve
the suffering woman without success
there was no alternative left but to Law
open the abdominal wall, and return
the protruding bowel. Under the infiu-
ence of chlOrOf0rm, the patient bore the
operation well, and when last heard
from there was encouraging evidence
OF complete recovery. Such operations
are rare, attended with great danger,
and if successful reflect credit upOn the
skill of the surgeon.

The Ronndsmnn,s Rnnte.

People who think night police duty
lazy sort of pleasure, are entertaining
thought, which tramp over the rounds
mans route will quickly dispel. The
night police report to the rOundsman at
6 o'clock p. m, at the Mayors office for
duty, and again when they go off duty
at 8 a. IN. In the interim the rounds
man makes three trips through the var
iOus precincts, what 9 p. m, IL M, and
3 am. The following is his route: Start
ing from the Mayors office, he goes on
the south side of East Tuscarawas street
to Cherry, ON Cherry to Charles, on
Charles to South Market, on South Mar
ket to Cedar, on Cedar to South Poplar,
on Poplar to North, on North to Cherry,
on Cherry to Third, on east Third to No
s Hose House, then back on Third street
to the COnnOttOn Railway tracks, on the
railway track to East Tuscarawas on
East Tuscarawas to the Mayors office
This is by no means a small stroll, and
he who thinks so, should try it. 1t takes
the rOundsman about one hour and
half to make this trip of about four and
a half miles, so that every night he
walks about thirteen and a half miles
The policemen may well sing:
When duty roundsman requires us to CO.

The Pennsylvania Company has issued
an advertisement, announcing Christ
mas excursions between all stations on
its vast system of railways. The hand
bill is embellished with a winter scene,
in the foreground of which appears
conspicuous figure of Santa Claus stand
ing in sleigh attached to a locomotive,
which he is driving, and under which
is this legend: "OId KRIS -Kringle has
adopted modern lOcOmOtiOn, and takes
the Fort Wayne Route" AprOpOs of this
effort to dispel the fOndly cherished but
old fOgy notion that reindeer continue
to surpass in speed the steel track flyers
on the shortest routes A popular
rhyme has been paraphrased as follows:
He was Jolly and merry through all his work.

While at McDOnaldsville the other
day we met our old friend Doctor A.
M. Weidler, who informed us he con-
templated visit to Washington next
month with view of having Congress
take action on his great fever remedy
and thus bring it prominently before
the public. 1t seems Congressman Nc
Kinley presented a petition on the sub
ject two or three years ago and had it
referred to a committee which never
reported upon Doctor Weidler's great
fever remedy. We do not understand
that the Doctor proposes to disclose his
great and valuable secret, but he is ex-
ceedingly anxious to bring it before a
suffering public. We hope to chronicle
the Doctors success and triumph.
