THE SALE Is MADE.
The Cleveland & Canton Pays Sl55,ooo
For the Waynesburg Road.

The Cleveland Il Canton Pays Sl55, ,UOO
For the Waynesburg Road.
AS conflicting stories about the sale
of the Canton 4 Waynesburg railroad
to the Cleveland 4 Canton have been
circulated in the city,a a DEMOCRAT re-
porter investigated the matter this
morning and ascertained the true state
of affairs in the matter, Mr.. Louis
Schaefer was seen on the subject and
some interesting facts were gained.
He said that he had been acting for
the Cleveland Il Canton company, and
that he conferred with Mr.. Cook on the
matter of buying the Waynesburg road
some four months ago. At a meeting
of the directors of the Cleveland ~ Can
ton road held in Cleveland about four
months ago the matter was spoken of
and President Blood, with others Of
the company went over the line to eX-
anime the road. A proposition to pur-
chase the road was made to Mr. Cook
about two months ago, but this was not
accepted, and the project then rested
for about six weeks until last Thurs
day, when President Blood with MessrS.
Wardwell, Chapman and Bane came
down from Cleveland, and with Mr..
Schaefer, took trip over the line and
consummated the sale, The papers were
then signed and the road passed into
the hands of the Cleveland & Canton
Company. The purchase price was
$l55,OOO, which includes a mortgage
of $4,000. The road will be
put through to Waynesburg as early as
possible, and will be completed some
time in the summer. A new freight
house will be erected on South Cherry
street at the switch on lot 9Ox2OO feet,
which has already been purchased. Mr..
Cook is in Cleveland today, probably to
settle up the whole contract. The en-
tire road, with rolling stock and all
property connected with the road, goes
to the c. & G. by the terms of the sale.

Twenty Thousand Dollars Raised for the
Association Building.

Twenty Thousand Dollars Raised for the
Association Building.
The work of raising the $4,000 to
erect a suitable building for the Young
Mems Christian Association in this
city, goes brayely on. Up to date S2O,-
900 has been pledged for this purpose.
This is exclusive of the $4,000 raised by
the young men for the purpose of pur-
chasing lot upon which to erect an
association building.
This is encouraging in the extreme,
and it is no question but that before
long Canton will be graced with a
handsome temple ofworship, erected by
the local association.
The $4,000 raised by the young men
is worthy of considerable commenda-
ton. This amount was pledged by
young men, every dollar and cent.
Their noble action has stimulated asso-
Citations in other cities to renewed ac-
tivity. Canton is the first city of its
size in Ohio to take steps to erect an
association building. That the project
will be carried out we have no doubt.
Let the enthusiasm Of these young
men communicate itself to the business
men. of the city, and let them give ac-
cording to their ability to a cause
which will be of untold benefit to the
youth of our city.
