Creamery Meeting.

y meeting of the citizens of Stark
county to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
establishing II creamery and cheese
factory at Dickinson, was held Feb.
18th. 1888. Meeting called to order
ut two O'Clock, c. II. Klinefelter was
elected to the chair and a. r.. Avery
chosen as secretary.
Upon taking the chair Mr.. Klinefcl.
ter stated that the object of the meet.
ing WAS not to consider the adviseabil.
ity of establishing such an indus.
try. but what is the most practical
way of securing the enterprise.
Remarks We're made by Mcssrs. III.
j. Sutton. F. r. %Shadduck, w. II.
Hoyt, f. Kelley, II. j. Whitley and
several others. many of whom are
practical dairymen, who demonstrated
t the assemblage that it is more
profitable for Il community, situated
as we are. to manufacture dairy pro-
ducts than to raise grain. The milk
of over 400 COWS WAS pledged for the
enterprise. 1t was also shown that
the establishment of a cheese factory
ut South Heart would not interfere
with a like industry at Dickinson, as
the two towns are so far apart Ql1a
miles) that half the distance between
the two points is as far as milk can
be prolitably transported to either
place. The meeting being divided lis
to the most practical lnode of opera
ton Mr.. Geo. Aud moved that the
matter he referred to Il committee of
eleven, practical dairymen, farmers
and business men; which committee
to be appointed by the chair and to
call IL meeting of the citizens and re-
port at an early date. The motion
being carried the chairman appointed
the following gentlemen to serve on
said committee, viz: j. NJ. Taft. South
Heart; +. T. Shadduck, II. j. Sutton,
W. II. Hoyt. T. Cuskelly. F. Riley,
L. +. Messerschmidt. H. j. Whitley.
John Fisher (English,) j. F. Vinton
and a. c. McGillivray of Dickinson.
The question submitted to said COM
mittee is us follows: Shall we estab.
lisl. Il cheese factory OF a creamery or
u combination Of both; what is the
most feasible way of securing the en-
terprise and whether or not it shall
be a joint stock company. or should
some capitalist be induced to place a
plant here.

WANT INDEMNITY.
Claims $25O,O0O Damages for Deten-

PHILADELPHIA, Dec 2S-A dispatch from
Port au Prince to The Ledger says that the
owner of the Haytian Republic, Mr. Moore,
of Boston, has demanned an indemnity Of
S250,000 for the damage done to the ship and
the detention of her crew and passengers, to
which the Haytian government offer some
objections, because of the amount claimed
The question of damages viii be left to arbi-
tration, and will doubtless be satisfactorily
settled. Meanwhile the steamer will be pre-
pared for sea, and upon the arrival of a crew
from New York will sail for that port
Legitime is very uneasy over the situation,
and evidently feels that he is by no means
perfectly secure, even though he has been
elected president by vote of majority of
the constituents or deputies, selected by the
people at the elections held in September and
October. This is evidenced by the fact that
lie Grande Riviere, a Haytian gunboat,
sailed from here yesterday manned by
Haytians, but flying the tri-color of France
at her stern. Her destination is Mole st.
Nicholas, a northern point ON the lines
of the French cable and her ostensible
mission is the recovery of a small French
steam launch, said to be held by the insur-
gents. The real reason for the trip is, upon
the other hand, authentically pronounced to
be the transmission OF a cablegram to th5
French feet now at Martinique, summoning
it here to assist Legitime Legitime has pur-
chased from the Royal Mail line the ship

of the most important coal deals ever made

the purchase of $105, 900 worth of coal lands
in Elizabeth township, Allegheny county,
lying between the Monongahela and Youg-
higheny rivers, tract which is thu key to all
the coal lands lying back Of it. A Philadel-
