Stark County Bee Keepers,

One of the largest and most interest.
ing meetings of the Stark County Bee
Keepers society was held yesterday in
Grange Hall, this city. Visitors were
present from all parts of the county
and many from adjoining counties.
Bee keeping has never had the atten-
ton paid to it that it deserves, but
through the organization of this asso-
citation great interest in the matter is
being awakened, and to further advance
the cause, every bee keeper should be-
come identified with this organization.
The next regular meeting will be held
on the third Tuesday in August.

A. WOMAN wANDERs AWAY.

She Falls Off of the East Tuscarawas
Street Bridge Into the Creek.
Last night about 1890 o'clock as Mr..
w. A. Mckenzie, a clerk in the Boston
store, was walking along East Tuscara-
was street just beyond the creek, he
thought he heard splash in the water
When he came on the bridge
Ne saw a woman lying in the
water below and she was padding
with her hands as if she wanted to get
out. He called to his assistance Viii
liam Metzgar, who was near by, and
They went down into the creek together
to get her out She was taken to the
saloon Of Christian Lauxmann near by
and laid on lounge. She was Ger
man woman and could not speak Eng
lish.
The parties tried to ascertain from
her who she was and where she be.
lOnged but no one could understand
what she said, except that her name
was Hoffman. Officer McCort and an
other policeman had been telephoned
for, but understood that it was at the
West Creek, and they accordingly went
there. They afterwards went to the
East Creek and on their way were met
by Mr.. Mckenzie, who gave them the
facts of the matter.
The woman was the wife of Mrs.
Adam Hoffman, living near the Fair
Ground on Mahoning street. She had
strayed away from home in some way
or other, and when the family missed
her they began to search the city and
make inquiries about her. When Off
Ger McCourt found out where she be-
longed he procured cab from Miller &
HurfoTd,w went down to Mr.. Lauxmanns
place and took the lady home. 1t is
not thought the lady is hurt very much
although she is considerably bruised.

SENATOR GoRMAN, of Maryland, ex-
presses the opinion that tariff reform
measure will be passed before Congress
adjourns, and further that a majority
of the members in the Senate and
House entertain similar opinions. He
says the sugar interests and several
other interests, which were hostile to
the bill as originally drawn, have been
pacified, and the bill is, perhaps, many
votes stronger today than it was two or
three weeks ago. That agrees with the
information generally received from
Washington. The tariff bill will pass
the House, and on the Senate will then
rest the responsibility of action.

The strike of the Union moulders az

still continues. There is nothing new
in the situation. None of the strikers
have applied for work, and from all ap
pearance none will. Evidently they are
prepared to fight it out on this line if il
takes all spring.
The strikers were paid off by the firm
yesterday afternoon, the men applying
for the money due them separately an6
in person, They then took the tools be-
longing to them and left.
MIR. Davis, of the Malleable Works

works. We have had no applications
for work, and no committee from the
strike has approached us. Besides,
we have given them to understand that
we will not confer with them
as a body. If they should ap
ply for work, we would tell them
to see the foreman. The foundry
is there, and they can go to work if they
choose. We will allow things TO take
their own course. We are not crippled
and are not caring one way or the
other"
One of the striking men was seen by
the reporter. He said the men were
determined to make no compromise
detrimental to the principles of the
union. 1--WE made good wages, and for
the most part saved them. We car

FRIDAY, JANUARY 1s, 1883.

WE would be delighted if Senator
Hale's onslaught ON President Cleve'
land could be substantiated. The
average Democrat has been disposed
to blame the Executive for dealing toe
tenderly with the Republicans in Of.
fee, and leaving too many OF them in
place during his administration. He
has been charged with having car
ried out the civil service prin-
ciple too literally, and leaving good
Democrats out in the cold rather than
incur the criticism OF the Mugwumps.
And this is a fact, Notwithstanding
Hale's adroit display OF figures.
Cleveland's predecessor had the
hardiesse to make out a large num-
ber of four years. commissions
to Republican officials on the very
eve Of his going out of the White
House. The Republicans have nc
right TO appeal to the civil service
principle. They never practiced il
themselves when in power, and have
only used it as a club to hold IN
terrorem over their adversaries.
These Hale storms will turn out to be
but small-potato showers, after all
when we come to face them.

So," said Mr.. Lynch, "Senator Hearst
and l went to see General Villas. The
Postmaster General took great in
terest in the matter, and said
the lack of proper postal facilities at
Los Angeles had been a matter of
much anxiety to the department for
more than year past. He stated
that when the present Administration
come into office, the appropriation
had already been made for the cur
rent period. 1t had been made on
the basis of q certain scale for Los
Angeles and he could not change
it. Last year he had it
in mind to give much
larger attention to this section than
formerly, but Congress failed TO pass
the appropriation bill to cover this
case and the Department was left
without increase of funds, and without
more funds no change could be made
in the status OF this or any
other office. General Villas
stated that he and his associates
were powerless to do anything unless
Congress voted the sinews OF war

From General Villas, Mr.. Hearst and

ant Postmaster-Gene General
Stevenson was most patient in hear
ing OF the inadequate service being
rendered our citizens in the matter OF
their mails, but he went over
substantially the same grounds
as General Villas had traversed.
Lastly Senator Hearst accompanied
me to the White House, and we laid
the matter before the President, who
took as grest interest in the matter as
did General Villas or General Steven
son. The result of these conferences
was that all three of these gentlemen
gave me personal assurances that
just as soon as the deficiencies

laid the matter naked III all its present
deformity before the eyes of the De-
partment, and before those OF our
Chief Magistrate. Senator Hearst
heartily endorsed all l said, and
General Villas, General Stevenson,
and Mr.. Cleveland all concurred in
their pledges to me that the matter
would have the earliest and the most
ample remedial measures possible to
apply to the case. 1t will be done.
Let me assure you our junior SEN
ator is power at the National
Capital, and my urgent repre-
senta:ions OF our case reached
ears more than willing to hear, and
the mind of men whose action in this
matter will be sympathetic.

DISPATCHES from up-country dur
ing the late cold spell have been most
careful to keep us informed Of the
fact that the frost had done little OF
no damage to the orange trees OF that
section. Redding is one of the places
whence such comforting assurances
have emanated. The thermometer
fell there to about eighteen or twenty
degrees, if we recall the record
Alright. But it did not injure the or
ange trees in Shasta county. Proba-
bly, not. If one were to write book
on that section, and devote chapter
to its oranges, he would be forced
to plagiarize from the history of Ice
land, where the famous chapter on
snakes is condensed into the one line
There are no snakes in Iceland
As proof sof this we may mention
this indubitable fact: A fruit grower
at Azusa day or two ago received
a letter from "boomer" land agent
in Redding requesting him to ship to
the agent half dozen boxes of the
best oranges in his section--to be sure
to send good ones as he wished. tc
make an exhibit of them in Reddine
as the product of Shasta county.

THERE has only been one fire ir

thousand dollars. That was the fire

Yet we learn that there is an

mission is to find and put forward
pretexts to enable the insurance com.

sheet Of the losses and profits OF the
companies for insurance here for the
past ten years, it would
show that we have paid
in to the underwriters an enormous
excess ever the losses. The rates now

it not time that Los Angeles capital

ANYTHING to save the monopolistic
tariff is Mr.. Blaine's motto. He would
pay all the pensioners Of the Govern.
ment a lump sum instead of the an
nual pension now paid. The only
object is to reduce the surplus, and
thus save the present iniquitous wal
tariff. Why should the year 1888 pay
off all this burthen and thus relieve
the future of all this tax?
