FOURTEEN FATHERS.
Death of the Old Council and Strong New
One in its Stead.

Death of the Old Council and a Strong New
One in its Stead.
"The king is dead, long live the king
is an old expression that is applicable at
this time, as the last meeting of the
City Council marked the demise of the
old and the birth of a new municipal
government. 1t did more, for the pres
ent force of able bodied, and we must
say, good looking Legislators, represent
an increased number of wards, from
four to seven, showing that the city has
grown so fast that the old municipal
lines had to be Techalked and new ad-
ditiOns made for the better and easier
management of the town we live in.
Just before the meeting there was the
usual buzz and anxiety on the faces of
the old members who fully realized that
in a few fleeting moments they would
be, according to Sir Joseph, Officially"
dead, and, although four of them were
to be born again into the new and larger
body, we saw no hilarity expressed on
any of their faces, excepting that of Mr..
Archinal, the retiring councilman who,
heaving a sigh of profound satisfaction,
said he was glad to lay down the burden
of public service, however remunera-
tive (?) and glide back to private life,
where the public do not grOwl and THE
reporters are at rest. Vice President
Sherriek, on whose broad shoulders the
parliamentary labor of conducting the
| funeral services fell, in the absence of
| President Shields, was busily engaged
| in scanning the statutes, to see just how
the thing was to be done; whether to ad-
| iOurn first and then approve the min
utes, or the reverse, and in this study he
had no lack of advisers, some saying
| that the Mayor should call the Council
to order at the usual hour of half past
seven, have the minutes read and then
adjourn, and so on, and the confusion
became worse cOnfOunded until Warner
said he thought that as we had had City
| Councils for so long, whose business IL
was to adjourn once year sine die, he
thought it funny that nobody knew how
it was done. Everybody agreed with
him there. 1t was the highest card out.
Lawyer Alb. Mckinley, who was present,
in pOmpOus and you hear me" tones,
declared how it was to be done, but sue
self. In sheer desperation Vice Presi-
dent Sherrick cut the Gordian knot by
seizing the croquet mallet and at 7:45
p. m.
And Messrs. Archinal, COldren, POyser,
Sherrick and Warner, answered to roll
call, with President Shields and Coun.
Gilman SlentZ absent. The minutes OF
the preceding regular and adjourned
meetings were read by the CLERK, ana
being unusually long and uncommonly
drv. gave the incoming members, who,
we forgot to mention, were sitting with
ont the arena, fOretaste of one of the
staple enjoyments of Council life-the
rest will come in due season. The min
uteswere then approved by the melan-
chOlv five, amid tears, and during an i'm
pressive pause, while the old four wards
could, in Imagination, be seen dissOlv-

A Dell Roy Lumber Dealer Takes "A ShingIe
OF His NeighbOr's House.
M. T. Davy 81 Bro. have been doing a
lumber business in Dell Roy for the past
two years. They dealt with Hubbell,
Brown 81 Co., of Cleveland, who trusted
them to all they wanted, as they were
good pay. Lately finding that Davy q
Bro. owed them $4,000, Mr.. Hubbell went
to Dell Roy and found that Nj. L. had left
and the cash box was III. I. also, and
$4,000 short. DaVy had collected all the
money he could, giving receipts but
making no entries ON the cash book, and
then told his wife he had to go to New
Philadelphia and did so with a horse
and buggy. He telegTaphed that he had
sold the team and would be back shortly.
Next door lived the secret of the whole
business, Mrs. Gasser, handsome and
fascinating. DaYy left on Friday and
she on Saturday, stating that she was
going to KensingtOn, since which time
neither have been seen. An intimacy
had existed between the two for several
months, but nothing more, apparently
than neighbOrly friendship. A slight
clue has been found at thel Forest City
House in Cleveland. Mrs. Gasser leaves
behind three children, the youngest
only year old.

The Salem Republican suggests that
as the State Editorial Association has
become too large body for the trans
action of business, it would be good
idea to organize a "press club" in the
northeastern counties of the State, and
along the line of the Fort Wayne rail
road, for the strict object of business,
each member to pay his own bills, tend
to the work on hand and then quietly
go home again. 1t also suggests that
Canton would be good place to hold a
meeting for organization early in May.
These are our sentiments, gentlemen.
Form club by all means, and by or
ganized action we will all improve fin
ancially and in every other way. Come
right along to Canton, we will assure
you of hearty welcome.

Through mistake of the party furn-

men to the same lady the other week,
and now comes the Repository who tries
to palm off policeman VIM. Lehnis' bran
new baby upon officer John Cummins.
Such an event has not happened in the

not right to try to kick up fuss among
the officers in such a scandalOus way.
We will say right here, that the baby
belongs to Mr.. and Mrs. Lehnis and
