BOTH LEGS TAKEN OFF.
A Horrible Accident Near the VAL
ley Depot This Morning.
Thomas W. Job, Night Engineer at the
Water Works, Run Over by an
Extra on the Valley Road
He Lives Few Hours.

About twenty-five minutes after
seven o'clock this morning an accident
occurred near the Valley depot, which
resulted in the fearful mangling of
Thomas W. Job, the night engineer at
the water works pumping station.
Mr.. Job finished his work at seven
o'clock, and was walking down the
Valley railroad track to his home at the
corner Of Eighth street and the Valley
railway. He had proceeded about
forty yards south of the Valley
depot, when south-bound extra
freight on the Valley overlook
him, and ran over the lower part of his
body, almost completely severing both
legs near the knee joint.
The injured man was at once picked
up by the Mortified spectators, and car
ried to his home, and Drs Phillips and
Walker summoned by telephone. They
arrived almost Immediately and rend.
cred medical assistance 1t will be ne
cessary to amputate the unfortunate
mans legs, as they are hopelessly
crushed.
Mr.. Job, it was said to a DEMOCRAT
reporter, is almost totally deaf. He has
been in the habit of walking down the
track to his home, as he attempted to
do this morning. 1t is thought that he
did not hear the extra, although the
engineer blew the whistle loudly and
continuously. The engineer then re-
versed the engine, but too late to stop
it, although the train stopped almost
over the man.
The engine and tender and four or
five cars passed over the mans legs.
crushing the bones and mangling the
flesh in horrible manner.
Mr. Job is forty-seven years of age,
and has wife and one child living
together with an adopted child. His
chances for recovery are small indeed
butit is hoped that he may pull through.
To his afflicted family, and to the poor
sufferer himself, the sympathy of the
entire neighborhood goes out.
No blame can be attached to the
railroad company as the engineer of
the extra did everything in his power to
avert the accident.
LATER:rMr. Job died this forenoon,
living but two hours and fifteen min
utes after the accident.

MRS. 1oRDoNNn HEARD FROM.
She Files an Answer and Cross Petition
to the Plaintiffs Petition,

She Files an Answer and Cross Petition
to the Plaintiffs Petition.
The DEMOCRAT of yesterday stated
that Louis Leon LOrdonne, living on
South Cherry street, had filed a petition
to be divorced from his wife, and al
legged the causes to be habitual drunk
enness, adultery and extreme cruelty.
AS soon as Duputy Sheriff, Altekruse,
had served summons and copy of
the petition on her, she hastens up to
Lawyer Upham's office and files an an
swer and cross petition to the plaintiffs
petition. She denies having committed
adultery with persons unknown to
plaintiff, and denies the plaintiffs allie
cation that she had been habitual
drunkard for the last 6 years. She ad-
mits that she struck him with spit
toon, but says that Sc did it to defend
herself; that at the time the plaintiff
had knocked her to the floor and had
repeatedly struck her.
The defendant by way of cross peti.
ton says that she has always been a
faithful wife, but that the plaintiff has
been an habitual drunkard for the past
five years. The defendant also says
that the plaintiff has been guilty of ex-
treme cruelty toward the defendant in
this; That in March 1886, the plaintiff
struck the defendant many times,
knocking her to the floor and bruising
her face and body, without provocation

A MANDAMUs CASE.
Township Treasurer Barry Has Writ
Issued Against Auditor Manly.

Township Treasurer Barry Has a Writ
Issued Against Auditor Manly.
A petition for mandamus has been
filed in the Court of Common Pleas by
James d. Barry, Treasurer of Canton
township, against P. L. Manly, Audi
tor of Stark county The plaintiff says
that he is the duly elected and qualified
Treasurer of Canton township, and as
such is entitled to receive, hold and
disburse the school funds belonging to
said township, and as such Treasurer
he is entitled to receive from the Treas
urer of Stark county the school FUND
accruing from the taxes levied upon
the territory lying within the limits Of
said Canton township school district.
The plaintiff further says that the said
Canton township school district con-
sists of all the territory in said Canton
township, except that which, by mutual
agreement of the Township and City
Boards of Education have heretofore
been embraced, within the limits Of
the Canton city union school dis
trict, and that recently the mu-
nicipal corporation Of Canton has
extended its limits in such wise as to
include territory belonging to and un-
der the control of the Canton township
school board and that the township
board have never consented or agreed
to relinquish the same and it is still a
part of the said Canton township
school district, and from the levy i'm
posed upon such territory, taxes have
been paid into the county treasury to
the amount of $112.78 which belongs
to the Township Board. But the de-
fendant who is duly elected and quail
fed Auditor of Stark county and whose
duty it is under the law to issue an Or
der in favor of this plaintiff upon the
Treasurer of Stark county for
the payment of said funds
to this plaintiff, refuses to issue said
order, and by reason of such refusal the
plaintiff is unable to obtain the afore-
said sum of $112.78.
The plaintiff prays that he may have
a writ of mandamus commanding said
defendant to issue him an order upon
the Treasurer of Stark county, direct
ing said Treasurer to pay him said sum
of $112.78, and for such otEer relief as
in equity he may be entitled to.

Another Separation,

August Smith, of Massillon, asks to
be divorced from his wife Laura, and
has filed the necessary papers in the
Common Pleas Court. The plaintiff
says he was married to the defendant
IN Massillon, November II, 1887, and
has always conducted himself toward
her as kind and faithful husband.
The petitioner further alleges that the
defendant has disregarded her duties as
wife, and has, since January, 1888,
been guilty of gross neglect of duty to-
ward her husband, wherefore the plain
tiff asks to be divorced and have such
other relief as is proper.

Old Plain Goes Wet by 1se Majority

Yesterday there was a special elec-
tion held in Plain township to decide
the question of local option. The day
was fair and large vote was polled
The vets exerted themselves by far the
most, for they were at the Infirmary
before sunrise with seven teams to
maui the paupers up to vote wet. Supt
Pontius was seen this morning by u
DEMOCRAT reporter, and he said that
the statement in last nights Reposi-
tory that he hauled the paupers up to
vote wet, was not true, and that he took
no part in the matter whatever, except
his individual vote. The vets had
come there with their teams to haul
them up, and he had no right to pre-
vent them from voting. The township
has just lately been divided into two
election precincts, viz: New Berlin and
Center school house. There were 583
votes polled, about so less than the full
vote, In New Berlin the vote was wet
10, dry 115; majority for wet So. At
Center, wet 191, dry 1O7; majority for
Z yet "a. Total majority in township
-or wet 139.

A Married Man Arrested for Seducing a
Girl l3 Years of Age.
Charles Brown, of Waynesburg, was
arrested last night at 1890 at the Ft.
Wayne depot by officer Yant, of this
city, and Marshal Yarger, of Waynes-
burg. 1t is alleged that Brown seduced
a Miss Wilson, a young girl but 10
years old, Yesterday she gave birth to IA
child. The physicians say that the
foetus was not fully formed and con-
tinement took place before it was ex-
pected When it appeared to Brown
that the child was to be confined, he
gave her some medicine and the
child is now said to be in
dying condition. After perpe-
trating the horrible act he concluded to
light out, and came to Canton with the
expectation of taking train for parts
unknown. Marshal Yarger and the
Constable of Sandy township were
notified of the matter and Immediately
came to Canton after him. He was
found at the Ft. Wayne depot, arrested
and taken down to Waynesburg.
Brown lives7in Waynesburg and has a

Malvern

A visit to Malvern the other day was
one of interest, for we found the village
greatly interested in the manufacture
of paving and fire brick. One concern
we visited with our old friend, Ex-Sen-
ator A. R. Haines, on whose land is
found the clay and coal all together,
and who is one of the company. They
have good steam power to grind the
clay and press the brick, and are now
turning out ten thousand or more per
day. May they meet with success.
Another concern is near the depot, and
is also in active operation. Frank
Sullivan, Ross Rue and others are the
men there. A Steubenville company
is about establishing a third plant of
the SAME kind. Paving brick are likely
to be plenty in course of time; but the
demand may keep ahead. These plants
will give employment and promote
business. Dry goods dealers, groceries,
etc, will profit thereby, and induce 9TH
er establishments to locate there. The
old wOOllen mill building is not used
and could be had cheap for some indus
try. The LewtOn House is a good
place to stop. Mr.. Lewis, the Cleveland
P. NJ, has the p. o. in the Newton
store, a very suitable place, and Miss
Lewis, the daughter, is very proper
and competent assistant. Mr.. Charles
Double, a Canton boy formerly, contin-
ues the jewelry business. The three
physicians of the place are Doctors
Mofit, Spratt and Ross. They are gen.
tlemen with whom it is a pleasure to
meet. AT Malvern the valley of the
Sandy is wide, and rich and beautiful
farms are all around.

titiOn in the Common Pleas Court, and
asks to be divorced from his wife, Ma
ria Ann Lordonne. He alleges in his
petition that he was married to the de-
fendant in March, 1873, and that she
has been an habitual drunkard for the
last six years past. The plaintiff fur
ther says that the defendant has com
mitted adultery with several persons
whose names are unknown to him, and
he also alleges that tie defendant has
been guilty of extreme cruelty toward
him in this, that in the spring of 1886
she struck him in the face with a spit
toOn and on or about the 10th day of
May, 1888, she threatened to kill him,
assaulted him with large butcher
knife and cut him in the right hand,
and that she is also of quarrelsome

BUSINESS EDUCATION.
Why 1t IL Needed on the Farm as Much a.
In the Store.

Why 1t Ii Needed on the Farm as Much as
In the Store.
The man who thinks practical busi-
ness education is not needed on a farm
does not have very exalted idea of
farming as a business. for it is becom
ing more apparent every day that the
richest and most productive fertilizer
put on farm is brains. 1t is becom-
ing just as apparent. too. that farming
is legitimate business and not a mere
means of eking out livelihood: 1t
takes better head now to run a farm
successfully than it did fifty years ago.
1t is one thing to raise crop and it is
another thing to convert it into the
most money. Industry. brains. and
good judgment will secure the former.
and a good business education will sug-
gest methods and system which will
lead to the latter. 1t is just as impor-
tant for the farmer to know with mathe.
matical exaotness the sources of loss
and gain as it is for the merchant.
The annual waste on farms which may
be attributed to n lack OF business
methods, would, we have no doubt,
pay the cost Of business education
for every farmers son in the land.
We claim. and think we can readily
prove. that no farm system is complete
without a good set Of books to keep a
record Of what it has cost and earned,
and We claim. too. that farm of eighty
acres with good business methods to
control its management. will produce
moro than one hundred and sixty acres
ON the slip-shod plan. A farmer is q
better farmer when he can keep books
