A NEW AIR-SHIP INVENTED.

George w. Starr, of Tennessee, who is now
in this city, has with hun model of All aerial ship Of his
own invention which, he claims. embodies some prnci-
pies fully applied before in aerial navigation
He been studying arships for eight years, and
has lately hit upon idea the simplicity OF which, he
thinks insures success He has been successful in
ventor in other directions The full-sized ar-shp as
designed by Mr. Starr which will cost about $1,000 to
construct will be In the shape OF two cylinders the outer
ends pointed joined together TO form straight
lne with a space between them large enough for q
wind-whee revolvc, its axis being par alel with the
cylinders. Between the cylinders will also be sus-
pended the TO contain the engine that runs the
wheel and the operator and supplies OF and coal

be 1872 feet the diameter of the cylinders IL feet the

The Stark County Temperance worke
Hold n Meeting

Pursuant to a call, the Prohibitionists
OF Stark county assembled at Temper
ance Hall, Canton. Ohio, ON Saturday af-
ternOOn, June II. The Convention was
called to order by S. G. DOrrence, and
upon motion EnOs BrOsius. of Alliance,
Ohio, was chosen Chairman, and NJ. NJ
Herbst, of Canton, Secretary. Mr., Bro
sius, upon taking the chair, addressed
the Convention at some length, and
urged immediate action, and to keep the
ball moving asked that every one give
free expression of their thoughts upon
this sall-impOrtant subject. After thor
ough discussion by all, and all willing
TO act and work, motion was made to
appoint a committee on resolutions. The
committee reported the following resO-
luton, which was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, We believe the liquor traffic
crime to be of such nature that IL can
not be either licensed, taxed, or treated
as Legitimate business without invCly-
ing the Government and people in all
its enOrmitieS and guilt, and that as an
organized potent crime controlling the
GoYernmentand cOrrupting all the fOun-
tains of political power, it cannot be
suppressed in the State of Ohio but by
the agency of political party formed
for that purpose therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That it becomes our duty
TO reOrganlZe under the banner of total
prohibition of the liquor traffic as bey-
erage.
On motion, committee was appoint
ed to agree upon a time and place for
holding convention to place in nOmi
nation a county ticket for the fall cam
paign. Said committee agreed upon

for holding said convention.
There being no further business the

Serious Casualty.

A bad accident happened, Tuesday af-
ternOOn, to Mrs. Charles MOnnOt and
Mrs. Benjamin GOuenat, of this city,
near Louisville. The ladies started from
Canton in a carriage in the morning
and drove to Louisville. After spending
some time there they started for the res
idence of Mrs. POmier, about quar- ter
of mile north of Louisville. They had
almost reached their destination when
the horse was taken with fit of blind
staggeTs and became unmanagable, and
darted forward, hurting the buggy
against a stump. Then dashing across
the road, came in contact with post,
upsetting the buggy and throwing it
over upon the ladies. The animal fell
backward upon the vehicle, and plung-
ing and kicking completely demolished
it. People in the vicinity saw the acci-
dent and fastened to eXtricate them.
They were taken into house and intel
ligence of the accident telegraphed to
their friends here. Mr.. MOLnOt and
Mrs. Gouenat's two sons Immediately
went over, taking with them Dr.. Port
man. Mrs. GOuenat's right arm was
broken and her face terribly disfguTed
by cuts and bruises. Mrs. MOnnOts
shoulder-blade is fractured, and both
ladies are very badly bruised.
Mrs. GOuenat was brought home in a
buggy, and Mrs. MOnnOt was transported
in an ambulance made of a spring wagon
and mattress. At late hour Thursday
morning the ladies were improving.

DEATH ON THE rRAPEzE.
Ora Herbruck Instantly Killed While Per-
forming In a Circus.

The many friends of Ora Herbruck
were shocked by the sad intelligence re-
celVed last Friday morning that he had
become victim of a fearful accident.
Ora was the oldest son of Augustus Her
6ruek, the merchant, and had been tra-
Yelling for the last two months as a
trapeZe performer with billiards cir
Gus, he and his partner, Louis ThOma,
OF this city, going under the name of
the Thoma brothers. Last Thursday
night the show exhibited at CazenOvia,
New York, and just as the two perform
ers were at the most critical point in
their maneuyres, hanging head down.
WaIu, a rope, sustaining the top canvas
OF the tent, gave way, precipitating them
TO the ground, a distance of 30 feet,
Young Herbruck was instantly killed.
having broken his neck. ThOma lies in
a critical condition in a hospital in
syracuse, Yet shows some signs of i'm
prOyement. Since the tragedy Mr.. Her
bruck's father has received number of
letters of coincidence from the shOwmen.
among them also one from Mr.. Hilliard
himself. All speak in highest terms of
Ora as an artist and a man. He was a
favOrlte with the company and was re-
garded as perfect gentleman.
His funeral took place on Sunday af-
ternOOn at the German Reformed church.
A large audience gathered to show a
last token of respect for the dead. His
remains were buried in the city ceme-
terry. May the sod rest lightly upon his
bosom.

Is Baptism a Saving Ordinance ?

When Miss Emma Frank, the good and
lamented daughter of Mr.. Karl Frank,
was resting on the cold bed of death in
the parloT which she had often made
ring with sweet tones of music, and
when the bereayed parents were weeping
over the sOulless remains of deeply
beloved child, a christian lady, en-
tered the room, and, after looking at the
corpse, said, with an austere look and
icy tone of voice, Il would not wish to
bury an unbaptized child" Before the
astOnished father could rouse himself
from the stupOr into which his sorrow
had plunged him the Christian lady"
had departed. No matter in what light
we look at this compassionate" utter
ance, we must severely condemn it.
Without regard to the religious cOnsid-
Grafton, it was certainly rude and un-
ladylike to thus press an uncalled for
opinion upon parents bending Over, the
coffin of a beloved daughter, whose
patience during a long sick spell, and
spOtless character has been the comment
of the whole community.
From the religious standpoint, how
ever, the conduct of the christian lady"
appears even more cOndemnable. 1t
certainly does not breathe the spirit of
the Founder who, when he saw the peo-
pie ready to stone an offender, said: HE
VINO Is gulleleSS nlmSelt may throw The
first stOne." 1t rather savOrs after the
sanctimoniOus manners Of the Pharisee
who prays at the street corners, lifts his
hands and says: "Oh Lord, thank Thee
that 1 am not like one of these publi-
cans" Verify, if Jesus would now ap-
pear amongst us, he would not recOg-
nize many that use his name in vain
AS to the chances of peace hereafter, we
would rather take those of the good and
amiable unbaptized dead than those of
this stern christian lady,"

1t is surprising how many different
articles of medicine and food in COM
merce are adulterated, and instead of
diminishing they. appear to be on the
increase. Authorizations which are en-
tirely practical seem to arise from two
causes-frst, the avariciOus desire of
inOrdinate pecuniaTy gain, and second
lly, to sell cheaply to the customer, who
goods he is purchasing. Somers, the
druggist, examines carefully all drugs
as they come into the store, and sells
only such as he guarantees pure and
unadulterated.

E. w. Hayes, mOlder from Mansfield,
was badly beaten and robbed by tramps,
at the East Creek railroad bridge, on
Tuesday. He had gone down to swim,
and was attacked by these pests with a
coupling pin and a revolver. Hayes
pulled the pistol out of the grasp of one
fellow and fired, and thinks he shot him
through the hand, as the tramp cried
out that he was shot. There were four
teen in the gang, and they had several
kegs of beer. Hayes had over sixty dol
lars with him, but concealed the most
of it in his bosom, and after being over
powered they went through his pockets,
securing four dollars and knife. He
was badly cut about the head, but is
able to be about again. There were no
arrests made.
