While Passing . Crossing on the Way
a Home For the Evening Meal.
Mrs Maria Mobiles, a residing in East
North street, and mother of Mrs. George
Spangler, met with a serious accident
at 8 o'clock Saturday evening at the
Fourth street crossing of the Cleveland
& Canton road.
AT the hour named Mrs. Mobiles was
crossing the track and failed to notice
south bound Cleveland & Canton pas
senger train almost upon her. The bell
of the engine was ringing and persons
in the vicinity sounded the alarm but
it came too late for the old lady and
she was struck by the engine, throwing
in the air, and her apparently lifeless
body fell upon the COW catcher. Mr..
Henry VOgelgesang, the pop manufac-
turer, ran from his place of business
and caught her before the train had
stopped, otherwise she would have
fallen from her position and been
ground to pieces under the wheels. She
was carried into Mr.. Vogelgesang's
place of business and physicians called.
There was found a fracture on the
right side of the forehead, and the right
knee d~islocated, and she complained of
intense pains internally. She was short
ly removed to her residence. The rail
road company has been relieved of any
censure in the case.
Owing to Mrs. MOBILES advanced age
it was thought that the great and sud.
den shock to her system and the inter
nal injuries received would 500 end
life well spent, but today she was rest
ing much easier and conscious of the
presence of friends and relatives about
her. The internal pains still cause
great sufferings and it is hard tosdeter
mine what the result will be. Engin
eer Ed Pedlar, the old reliable, was il
in the engine, and states that the prope
precautions were taken to warn people
of the approach of the train. He diC
not notice the woman until he saw he
on the pilot of the engine. His trail
was running about six miles an houl
and when the accident occurred h
stopped suddenly, but had to do so wit
great care so as not to throw the We
, mar from the pilot. =,

A RUINED LIFE.
She Loved Not Wisely, But Too
Well.
And sorrowfully Finds That the Man
Whom She Married Through an In
nocent Filtration is a Biga-
miFt--He Leaves Her
Penniless.

A very sensational story was made
known here Sunday. 1t is the same
old story of Irritation and with the
same sad results as frequently follow
such cases. 1t is to the effect that a
dashing stranger, sailing under the en-
phonious title of L. Byron ElsOn,
came to this city and became acquaint-
ed with a Miss Chofin, who resided
with her mother in East Seventh street.
The young lady was about sixteen and
very handsome and it was not long I'M
til E. Byron proposed and was accept
ed, but the suit was not looked upon
with favor by her mother and the we'd
ding that he looked for didn't come.
That is, at that time, but becoming
infatuated with the MANTLE girl agreed
| upon his suggestion to elOpe and they
left soon for C%ovingtOn, KY, and were
married.
They took up their residence in Chi
cago and resided there at the time Mrs.
Choffin died. This was a sad blow to
the bride, as her mother had disinher-
tied her for her actions, and had divid-
ed a small fortune she had between a
son and another daughter, leaving the
wife and mother without support. Ell
son and his wife came back to Canton
to live after the death, but Elson was
not allowed to visit her sisters house,
at which place his wife was stopping.
He secured rooms at SO West Fourth
street and took his meals in North Mar
ket street.
His recent v~illainy was discovered by
the loving wife learning that he had a
wife and two children at Dunkirk. He
had deserted the woman two years af-
ter, going through with a large sum
of money she had, and his counting
of Miss Choffin was undoubtedly for the
purpose of securing a portion of the
small fortune possessed by her mother.
Recently the bigamist visited his first
wife and child at Dunkirk but it was
not for long and he returned to Canton
out toward the close of last week he
suspected that his villainy had been
discovered and after several restless
days he jumped the city, leaving his
wife and child penniless and with a
dreary future before them. 1t is thought
that Elson is in Harrisburg, Pa, and
the case against him may be pushed.

THE NEW POSTAL LAW

And the Changes it Will Necessitate in
Canton-A Boon to the H~ard-worked
Carriers.
Sunday was an eventful day to mail
carriers in this city and throughout the
United States. On that day the new
law regulating the hours of service of
the carriers went into effect. The new
law cuts down the hours of labor of the
mail carrier from three to five hours
each day. The new law applies only to
mail carriers, the eight hour custom
prevailing in other departments, but
coming to these men who have been
working from ten to twelve hours and
with the heat of the summer now upon
them the new law is looked upon as a
blessing.
In the Canton Office there are seven
carriers but this new law will have the
effect of increasing the number. Post
master Archinal says this reduction in
working hours will require at least five
additional carriers. He has made ap-
plicatiOn to the department for addi-
tional carriers needed, but in conse-
quence of the number of applications
which will go in from all over the
country he expects to have to wait some
time before receiving a reply. The new
law will require a complete reconstruc-
ton of the hours of delivering mails
and in the routes. There are a number
of applications in for positions as car
riers but Postmaster Archinal will
probably retain the old force as it is
and pay the men for overtime. The
change in affairs can be fully realized
by taking five hours a day from each of
seven carriers and knowing that this is
being done at all free-delivering ofic'r
throughout the country,

written for the Democrat.
The Republicans at their late hood
lum convention, in which one delega-
ton dispensed almost a car-loado of wine
on Sabbath day, according to the Cleve-
land Leaders report, thought they
were playing sharp at the close to pass
a kind of tame temperance resolution,
amidst the jeers and Misses of the bum
mer part of said notable and disgrace
full assemblage. We can produce a
better temperance resolution passed
two years ago in Chicago at the Ma
tional Brewers convention held there.
The facts are that when the COMMITTEE
on resolutions suggested the idea Of
recognizing the demand of the anti-sa-
loon Republicans, Senator Farwell OBJ.
iected to say a word ON the subject, and
the platform was as mute as an oyster
on the Temperance question. But the
g. o. D. have a lot of followers, church
members, deacons, and preachers who
are easily gulled and viii always bite
at an empty hook, and for such as those
this little piece of deception was prac-
ticed. But a dying man will catch at
straws, and dying parties resort to
throwing dust in peoples eyes.
