Judge George NJ. Grasser, of Newark,
Ohio, on his way to Hot Springs, while
crossing Fourth street at st. Louis, on
Monday evening, was knocked down
and run over by street car, suffering a
compound fracture of the thigh and
other injuries. He died from his in
juries on Wednesday morning. Judge
Grasser formerly lived in Canton, and
his wife was a Little, born and brought
up here. He leaves his wife, one mar
who will deeply feel his loss. He had
but recently finished his second term as
Probate Judge of Licking county. We
deeply sympathize with the bereaved
friends.

A letter has been received from Mr..
B. f. Underwood stating that he would
be here some time early in May, for the
purpose of delivering liberal lecture,
the subject to be announced hereafter.
A number of his admirers have raised a
fund to defray the necessary expenses,
and admission to the lecture will be
free. This is the gentleman so much
talked about in connection with the
Bishop Weaver discussion.

On Monday afternoon while j. B. La
cave, the french gun smith, on East
Tuscarawas street, was showing a four
barrelled revolver to Louis Hahn, who
was in the shop at the time, the weapon
was accidentally discharged and the
bullet struck LacaVe's second finger of
the left hand. He was taken to the
office of Drs. Whiteleather and Brown

ished the job with an amputating knife.

found that some of the membranes of
the brain were lacerated and the brain
exposed. 1t is feared that Inflammation

swindling game on the public. They ad-

mean parquet circle seats at half dollar.
The Company however, seeing the house
promised to be large, held the entire

BILLS THAT FAILED To CONNECT.

The President, in the simplicity of
his heart, opened the first bill, which
proved to be one of j. G. Mishler for Sc
with a written order covering the
amount, and properly certified to by the
Committee on Poor, who had issued it.
Mr.. COldren, who found afterwards that
he knew very little, moved that, as the
bill was plainly all right, that it be al
lowed and paid. Mr.. Warner, another
innocent, seconded the motion and it
was about being put to vote when the
irrepressible Mr.. Wyant jumped to his
feet and said, that he believed all bills
should first be referred to a committee
to examine and see if they were correct,
that he had heard great many COM
plants in the city about the lightning
speed with which bills had been run
through heretofore, and if no regular
committee was appointed, he wanted a
special one, but committee he must
have. So he made motion to that
effect which prevailed, and a Special
Committee on Claims was appointed,
consisting of Messrs. Fawcett, Warner
and COldren. He, unfortunately, was
not appointed to serve.
Then the Mishler bill came up again,
and Mr.. Wyant moved to refer, and re-
ferred it was, and so on down through
the list of advertising, Health Officers
smallpox bill, medicine account, fire
cOmpany's services, a little Accent bill
of James A. Wards, until it came to a
shirt bought by order of the Board of
Health. Up rose Mr.. Wyant, who SOL
emnly moved to refer the shirt, which
was done submissively.
The balance of $451.64 of lumber
furnished by w. r. Henney and John
Zerbe, on balance of contract was re-
luctantly paid, amid glares from the
disaffected member.
The Street Commissioners payroll
for the past month amounting to $245.-
13, was also miraculOusly paid without
demur, after the President had ex-
planned that the men who work on our
streets were not millionaires and need
ed their cash.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Having exhausted the regular order
of business the Chair said: "We now
come to miscellaneous, which includes
almost everything" and it surely did,
by the music that followed.
There was large bunch of bills on
the table which had been accumulating
for some weeks, and it has been the
custom heretofore for the President to
call out the character of the bill, in

/" The Firms Busted"

A novel bankruptcy case is reported
by the National SundGy-S School Teacher.
The Junior partner of the firm, being
more generous than just. went into be.
nevolent operation without asking the
senior member:
A little boy applied to Gen. Clinton
B. Fisk for capital to go into business.
Amount wanted -Seventy-fve cents.
Business-Boot- backing Station-Neal
Fulton Ferry, New York. Profits to be
divided at the end Of six months.
The arrangement was made, and the
firm began business. One Monday morn
ing, however, the 'workin" partner
came into the Generals office wearing 6
very lugubrious countenance.
"Wbat's the matter?'' asked the
General.
"Oh," said the boy, otis all up"
GAN up!" said the General; "what
do you meanr'
ooh" replied the urchin, the firms
busted"
GLOW is that ?" was the inquiry.
"WelI," said the boy, 81 had 81, 81

Society, and / put it all in-couldn't

but it is the first partnership we have
heard of that has been busted in that
way Hence our extreme sympathy.

Mormon Faces.

The Salt Lake Tribune. published in
the Mormon country, says: There are
three distinct types of faces, denoting
stubbornness, ignorance and supersti-
ton. The stubborn face first strikes
the observer. A forehead ike-the end
OF hilbert, crooked nose and a pro-
trudlng lip. Such faces belong to men
who will take the minority side of any
question and stick to it clean to the
grave. Every town has some odd,
cranky character who is willing to bet
two dollars and half that the world is
hat; who denies that water will seek its
level, and if on jury always stands out
against the other eleven. If he ever has
to leave his native town, he will fetch
up In Salt Lake in the Mormon Church
to dead certainty. He embraces the
faith, content to know that 5000 out OF
III, 900 look upon it as the grandest sham
IN the century The superstitious class
have faces of another type entirely.
There is strength in the stubborn face,
but none in the superstitious. Their
under lip retreats; their chins are hardly
dlscernlble, and, sitting with diiated
eyes and open mouth, they drink In the
flood of bosh and drivel from the
preachers, absolutely believing that the
meaningless language is the divine in
SEPARATION of God. Then comes the vast
array of ignorant faces-whole rows Of
men who look like chimpanzees from
the jungles of Central Africa men with
little diminutive noses, big months,
cunning, twinkling eyes and protruding
teeth. The fringe Of neck whis4ers
about the lower part of the face complete
the general resemblance to the baboon,
which is never lost when viewed from
any direction, front, side or oblique.
These faces only belong to the con-
gregation, the tithe-prayers. The 1.-THE
eaters, who sit up and do the talking,
are of different order. Their faces are
stamped with sleek, plausible cunning,
and they maintain their gravity and de-
corum with good show of naturalness
as they face the poor devils whom they
have robbed and duped for half a
century. Cannon is fine type of the
sleek-taced apostle of fraud and robbery.
To the congregation below he seems the
perfect impersonation Of piety and
purity. The cut of his jib, the perfect
brush of his hair and the mild and gentle
look of his eye all indicate the man
whose sleek exterior is but mask tC
cover his real characteristics. The
wretches to whom his hypocritical ser
mons are directed drink in his platitudes
like water.

PETROLEUM,

Prof. Peckham, in writing of Pc
troleum, says that, "Though we obtain
oils resembling petroleum by the de-
structive distillation of GOALS, shales and
even animal substances, its occurrence
is not confined to localities contiguous
to large deposits Of these substances.
On the contrary, springs of it issue in
different parts of the world from all the
stratifed rocks, and from the volcanic
and metamorphic formations" In
Northwestern Pennsylvania or in New
York the wells are entirely cut of the
coal field, and, says the same authority,
we cannot well imagine any connection
between the oil and coal beds. In Ohio
and West Virginia it is found in the coal
measures, and in some instances the
wells are sunk through these into the
sandstones and states before they pro-
duce oil. Petroleum is often seen float
volcanoes. Another statement given by
Prof. Chandler, on the authority of
Prof: j. s. Newberry, is that the theory
which attributed petroleum to a process
of a distillation from coal, etc., is I'M
tenable, as there is no evidence of heat
to be found in the oil-bearing stratum.
The origin of petroleum is attributed,
the same authority states, to the de-
composition of vegetable and animal re-
mains, diffused in a finely divided condi-
ton, in fine mold or clay. Says Prof.
Peckham SIT may be assumed that
petroleum is the normal or primary pro-
duct of the decomposition of marine
animal or vegetable organisms, chiefly
the former, and that nearly all other
varieties of bitumen are products of a
subsequent decomposition of petroleum,
differing both in kind and degree"

Chow TO keep the boys at home, is
conundrum that is agitating the
parents of the land. It depends on the
kind of boy. Some boys could be
kept at home by establishing beer

to stay there, and make it point to
have him obey you. Begin early and
