Vidual members of the firm at present
are Mrs. NJ. Ruhman, the widow of the
original proprietor, Mr.. N. II. Ernst and
Mr.. G. M. Ruhman, and under their able
and efficient management the business
has increased to mammoth proportions,
the house standing to-day second to none
in Stark county. They occupy three
large rooms for business and storage
purposes, and carry, by all odds, the
heaviest stock of any similar establish
ment in Canton. As an indication of
the amount of business done by this
firm it may be stated that they have re-
ceived so far this fall eighty-seven cases
of goods, the total weight of which was
80, AL pounds. The salesrOOm occupied
is large and cOmmOdiOus one, 22x1OO
feet in dimensions, and Is stocked to re-
pletiOn with a magnificent assortment
OF mems, youths and boys clothing of
every description, together with a full
and complete line of gents furnishing
goods in great variety. Seven polite
and experienced salesmen are employed,
and the facilities enjoyed by this house
for receiving goods direct from all the
great Eastern manufacturers gives them
equal advantages with any kindred es-
tablishment in Ohio, and an inspection
of the full and extensive stock always
carried will convince the most skeptical
house of Ruhman, Ernst q Co. can offer
inducements to buyers not surpassed by
any other in Stark county. The active
members of the firm, MessTs. Ernst and
Ruhman, are men of large and varied
experience in the clothing trade, and
fully understand the wants Of the COM
munity in this particular line, with am
pie facilities for supplying those wants.
J. B. BROTHERS..
Prominent among the leading business
houses of Canton engaged in the impOr-
tant department of hardware may be
mentioned that of j. B. Brothers, who
succeeded the firm of COrrell & Son
about nine years ago. Mr.. Brothers Oc-
cupies a large and rOOmy salesrOOm,
| 150x16 feet in dimensions, where is kept
constantly on hand a large and extern
siVe stock of hardware, which COM
prises a general line Of American and
| imported heavy and shelf hardware,
dlers' materials, foreign and domestic
cutlery, shoe findings, tools of every de-
/ scTiptiOn, nails, ETC., besides a full line
of paints, oils and window glass. In
addition to the salesrOOm, Mr.. Brother 8
also occupies four other large rooms for
\ storage purposes, and employs four
clerks to assist him in the transaction
of his YOluminOus business. Mr.. Broth
eTs has had nine years experience in
this branch of trade, and his yearly bus
/ iness transactions now form a most i'm
pOTtant item in the financial estimates
of CantOn's commercial prosperity and
| Importance.

MAxCHEsrEs- TuE.SEA, Mass, Septen'
Ter l6,-Junias Brutus Booth, the veteran
actor and manager, who has been i'll for
some days. at the Masconomo House, OF
which he is proprietor, is in critical con-
dition to night and so rapidly sinking that
all hopes Of his recovery are abandoned.
Mrs. Agnes Booth is at his bed side. Ed
win Booth, his SOD, was here all day but
left this evening.
The dying man has had long and event
full career-a career in many respects
grand success and in others 3 terrible
tragedy. For over score of years he held
upon the American stage the high place
which has since been won by
his accomplished son. Edwin Booth.
He was acknowledged to be more
than the equal Of Forrest
and Macready and was thought by some
10 be the greatest tragic actor in the world.
As the years passed away habits of disslpa-
ton began 10 grow upon him, and this, II
is said, lead to his separation from his wife.
The fearful death OF John Wilkes Booth,
the SLAYER OF Lincoln, his Youngest and
fsvorite son, was a blow which completely
nrostrsted him, and from which he
never recovered. When he retired from
the stsge some years sgo he became hotel
pronrietor and has followed that calling
ever since. Junius Brutus Booth will be
hest remembered by bis mssterly delinea-
tions of Shakespearean character and 8
marked individuality that set him apart
arr distinguished him from other men.

The Decline or Iowa and OF AIIison-A
Step for Logan.

The Decline Oflowa and OF AllisOn-A
Step for Logan.
WASHINGTON, September 16-When Con-
gress adjourned last spring Iowa Repubh-
cans went home believing that II Mr..
Blaine was not himself a candidate for
President he would throw his influence in
favor of Senator Allison.
Meanwhile Allison has considered him
self in training. He had for some time
studied his course in the Senate, by not
committing himself on dangerous dues-
tions. The mistake Of trotting him out
year or more in advance II was intended to
over Iowa last fall had chilling effect, and
threatened to so benumb Allison before the
race that he could not regain sufficient
activity to enter the struggle at all. Nor is
the danger passed. Iowa as the Republic
can Gibraltar is not -whatHs6e was. Alli-
sseuss proportions are comparatively dimin-
ished.
There is another cause of doubt with the
Republicans. Senator Allison has mounted
the prohibition hobby, which has sent con
fusion into its ranks, and cleared off whole
masses OF voters who had stood firm. AL
lison as a candidate would invite the issue
everywhere. at may be good thing TO
do in Iowa." say Republicans, extending
their gaze over the field, but it may give
US trouble precisely where We would least
wish to see it," The Republican, as such,
is not the Prohibition party yet, they con-
tend. When the time comes for abandon
ing its old ground for that OF prohibition
in the struggle for President, Mr.. Allison
may be good enough candidate. But for
his mistake in mounting the hobby, they
continue, he might be good enough can
didate. The prohibition business changes
the question.
Mr.. Blaine's late observation that the
Republican candidate would be taken from
the West has this significance: II is highly
ente rtsining fer Logan.

THE VARIOUS PRIZE FIGHTERS.
Edwards and Nixey's Coming Bout
-ROx,a Offer.

-Rox's Offer.
NEW YoEK, September l6.-"Billy" Ed
wards, the well-known light weight cham
pion prize fighter, was found by q reporter
Yesterday attending to his duties at the
Hoffman House bar. What about
'Nixeys' challenge to me" said he; "Well,
l have not made up my mind yet to do
anything in the matter. ! think l shall
let il rest for few weeks until see what
Mitchell and Slade mean to do. II turns
out that neither man means real business,
it will hurt tSe interests OF the profession
for some time TO come, and l should not
spar before the public when the public is
down on all sparrers. ! met 'NIxey' in
London in 1872, and put on the gloves with
him. His real name is Nathan Lowell, and
he is a good man IN his way. He is about
thiriy.fiye years old and has been in retire
ment for the last seven or eight years.
Anyhow, if do meet him it will be in
public and with soft gloves.
Richard K. Fox's offer of purse OF 5000
to be fought for with soft gloves in private,
London rules, by Mitchell and Slade was
much discussed yesterday by sporting men:
The general opinion expressed was that II
thetwo men really mean business they will
accept the offer. A veteran fighter said:
There amt bit of difficulty in finding
place for regular fight within fifty miles
of New York IL the men want to meet and
don't shirk. OF course they can't have ten
thousand people present at dollar or two
dollars head, but if they mean fighting,
and not hippodroming, I'd warrant to fix
things in a week and get the fight of easy"
Sherif7s offer to meet Sullivan, Slade,
Mitchell, Ryan or any one else for 81, 900
side, is looked upon as being fair and above
board, and though much is not known Of
his record, Arthur Chambers is thought to
be too knowing to risk his dollars on
weak man.
