NEW CASES.
nsterminah TO stop It.

Some days ago the DEMOCRAT made
mention that Mayor Blake had determ-
ined upon a reform in the matter of
red signals, and had issued orders to the
police to arrest all persons who failed to
put red lights at a conspicuous place
where any obstructions or pits or bitches
were located, in order to warn passers-
by of any danger which they might be
in. The publication had a salLtory
effect, people fastening to obey the
orders of the Mayor. In one or two
instances however, they have been dis
regarded, and this morning complaint
was filed against DR.. S. A. Conklin,
charging him with neglecting to com
ply with the order to place red light
at the corner of Ninth and Plum streets
where some property belonging to him
is undergoing repairs. A warrant for
his arrest was placed in the hands OF an
officer, who served it upon him,
Those persons who are neglecting to
obey these orders will do well to COM
ply with them at once, and thereby save
trouble and money.

THE GRAND JURY
End Their Labors This Morning
and Visit the Jail.
Only Nine Persons Indicted for Violating
Ohio's Laws--Fhe Bunko Man One
OF the Number-Their Report
ofthe County Jail.

The Grand Jury having finished their
labors this morning, filed into Court
Room No. at II o'clock and reported.
Judge Pease asked them whether they
had finished all the business that was
before them, and he was told by Fore
man Zininger that they had. The
judge then stated that they had been
very expeditions in disposing of the
business before them and they could
now consider themselves discharged,
The amount of business that was
transacted at this term of court by the
Grand Jury is very small as compared
with the last term. There are Cnly nine
persons indicted while at the last term
there were over 30. There were several
more cases before them but they fell
through for want of sufficient evidence.
AT 8 o'clock this morning the Grand
Jury visited the county Jail as they are
required by law to do and afterward
they returned to the Grand Jury room
where they had one case yet to pass
upon. Following is the report of the
Grand Jury of their visit to the county
jail:
10 the Honorable Judges of the
Common Pleas Courts of Stark county,
Ohio-In obedience to your instruc-
tions, we, the Grand Jury for the May
term of 1888, in said county, beg leave
to report that we have visited the
county jail and made an examination
into the condition of said Jail, the man
agement thereof and the treatment of
prisoners therein confined, and find
said Jail kept in good condition, and the
rules heretofore prescribed by said
court properly observed and kept and
the treatment of the prisoners in all
respects proper.

For Parts Unknown.
A gentleman named Kline, who
keeps a livery stable at Bolivar, Tusca-
rawas county, came to this city this
morning and notified Marshal Fletcher
that two women had stolen horse ana
buggy from him, and left for parts un-
known. Mr.. Kline gave the following
account to DEMOCRAT reporter:
Yesterday morning two women,
neatly dressed and claiming to be can
vassing the neighborhood for various
articles, applied at the livery stable ana
asked for the hire of horse and buggy,
saving that they wished to go to Zoar.
Mr. Kline accommodated them, ana
they promised to return at night rms
thew failed to do and Mr.. Kllne's sus-
picions were aroused. Inquiry at AoaI
revealed the fact that the couple had
not been seen at that place, but inVestl-
cation showed that they had MADE
tracks to Canton. Mr.. Kline came mere
and found that they had put up the
horse at Haymaker's last night tol
lodging. They returned to Haymaker
ahont Q o'clock, and secured the rig
saving that they wished to ride around
the city. They were accompanied by
man. Since then no trace has beer
found of them. They have proOaOl'
left this section.
Marshal Fletcher notified the authorl
ties of Alliance, Akron, Massillon anc
other towns to be on the lookout for th'
trio. The rig is valued by MI kline d

Against Railroad Piracy.

A petition to Congress is being circu
lated among the foremost business
men of the city, and receiving many
signatures. The petition prays that in
view of the recent disclosures of gross
violations of the provisions of the Inter
State Commerce Law, that senators and
representatives in Congress use their
best endeavors to pass needful and
necessary amendments to the Inter
State Commerce act as will remedy the
deficiencies in the law, and which will
thoroughly protect the people from any
more railroad piracy.
The petition is the same which is
circulating throughout the United
States, and has in view the most rigid
enforcement of the Interstate law.
