A Double Accident.

Saturday morning the north-bound
passenger train on the Valley Railway
struck and killed a valuable horse be-
longing to Frenchman living short
distance this side of North Industry.
For some reason the carcass of the
dead animal was not removed, and Sat
urday evening, as man named John
Young was driving home from Canton
to North Industry in buggy, his horse
shied at the remains Of the dead animal,
became frightened and started off on a
runaway.
Mr.. Young was thrown out of the
buggy and sustained several severe
bruises. The buggy was smashed to
nieces and the harness completely
ruined, Mr.. Young was in the city
Yesterday consulting an attorney to see
what legal action could be taken in the

The Only Party of Morals.

The action Of the Republican Sena-
tors in our State legislature last week,
in refusing to eliminate from the Dow
law the Sunday opening feature of said
law, should be condemned by all good
citizens no difference what party they
belong to. But Republicans who are
Christians and still stick to such a
party, must be made of very elastic
material. If the Democrats had enact
ed such law we should not hear the
end fit, but because the G. o. p. have
passed a partisan law providing that
ordinances may be enacted legaliZing
saloons to be opened out on Sunday is
,wallOwed down by church members
tnd even ministers right here in Can
ton. All honor to the Democrats who
yoted to clear their skirts on this ques-
LIOn last Saturday. ButBhame on our
own Senator Snyder and other Repub-
leans, who would sacrifice conscience
aud do dirty work to hold the liquor
gOtein Cincinnati. The day of retriOu-
ton is not far off, for any party that
will practice double dealing, making
sreat professions of being "the only
.,arty of morals and temperance" and
men do meaner things than even tht
Democratic party dared to do to catch
he liquor vote. An open enemy We
aspect, but a secret foe we despise.

Richville Rakinps,

There is a dancing hall where the
young folks occasionally trip it on the
light fantastic toe.
Austin Camp was elected Assessor
by good majority and will do the work
in a proper manner and according to
law.
R. Letter continues to turn out sad
dies and harness to his customers, as he
has done for quite number of years.
His work too is all right.

was reelected again on the End inst,
over Reuben G. Foltz, by 4 majority.
The electioneering was vigorous.

convenience in a community to have
meat shop convenient and kept in

shop is fitted up with all conveniences
including ice apartment ands all. No
doubt Mr.. Young will faithfully at
tend to his business and will do well.

That "Mass'' Convention.

The Republicans of Stark county ev-
identity are afflicted with an attack of
"innocuous desuetude," the effects,
probably, of the Waterloo they suffered
at the hands of the gallant Democracy
at the recent elections. AT the muchly
advertised "mass" convention in this
city last Saturday, there were present
by actual count only nine persons.
These nine persons, however, drafted
resolutions similar to the "three tailors
of Tooley street" and the convention
was voted an enthusiastic gathering of
the multitudes. Who would have
thought it? How are the mighty tum-
bled down. 'Scatl

He Saves the Lives OF a Train Load of
Passengers.
William Langenbach, a travelling
salesman of this city, told the DEMO
Graf man of the narrow escape train
load of passengers had on the Cleve-
land & Marietta railroad last Friday
uight. 81 got on the train at Canal
Dover and intended to ride to Valley
Junction on the Valley railroad. Our
train was considerably behind time and
the engineer was bent on making it up
before he reached Valley Junction in
Drder to meet the train. We were going
llong at the rate of 90 miles an hour,
After we had left Canal Dover and
we're out several miles the engineer
saw tramp on the track swinging his
rms frantically, endeavOring to flag
he train. This made the engineer
angry, and with an oath he chOked the
throttle, thinking it was some passen-
who wanted to board the train.
he tramp said he did not want to ride,
but that about fifty tons of stone had
fallen across the track just a few feet
lhead of the locomotive The engineer
went forward and found a pile of stone
rs high as his locomotive, If the train
had not been stopped where it was the
whole train would have been plunged
over an embankment twenty feet to
the creek below. A handsome sum of
money was made up among the pass
engers and given to the man who had
saved their lives. The train men took
him in charge and will endeavor to get
him position ON the road"

THE sWARTz DITCH CASE
Settled at Last By the County Commits
sioners

sioners.
The Swartz ditch case is at last set.
tied. The Commissioners sat yesterday
with closed doors, celebrating upon
the case. The decision of the Commits
sioners is that the laterals to the ditch
are to be cut off and the main ditch is
to be dug three feet deeper. 1..
This ditch, about which there is so
much controversy, is located in Marl-
boro township. 1t has been pending in
the Courts for the last five years, but
has never yet been disposed of. About
four weeks ago it was to have been
tried before the Commissioners. and
about 80 witnesses were subpenaed on
a side. The Commissioners thought it
advisable to adjourn the case over until
they would see the ditch, and the trial
was continued. The Commissioners
soon afterward went up to Marlboro
township in body to view the ditch.
Yesterday was set for the argument of
the case, and it was argued by J. J.
Grant and Jos. Vaughn, of Marlboro.
The decision is as before stated and
this long and stubbOrnly contested
ditch case is now settled between all
parties.
The Commissioners met today to
change some matters with regard to
| assessments.

Many People on the Street in Spite of the
Rain.
The Canton One Price Clothing com
pany had their grand opening last night
and Notwithstanding the inclement
weather it still exceeded all of their
previous efforts. West Tuscarawas
street was so filed with people that the
street cars could hardly find their way
through the crowd A temporary stand
had been erected in front of the stores
with an electric light placed upon it for
the accommodation of the Grand Army
Band. The band had selected a good
program for the occasion but it
was not carried out on account of the
weather which was so stormy as to blow
the music from the stands. There were
several small hot air balloons sent up
from the roof of the Opera House, but
only one went any great distance. The
wind caused the others to take fire as
soon as they assembled.
The windows and entrance to the
store were neatly bedecked with flowers
which was the handiwork of Mr.. Frank
Snyder. The Canton One Price Cloth
ing company is one of the most enter
prising firms in this city, and no effort
is spared by them to make their stores
attractive in every particular.
The names of those capturing the
prizes can be found in the companys ad.

the Company as Outlined by
Their Notice.

Yesterday the iron moulders EN-
ployed at Elbef &'Co's malleable iron
works, in this city; struck and left the
works in body To-day there are but
four moulders at work.
Elbel & Cos iron works are the only
straight union shops of this character
in the'city, being under the control of
Union No. 50, Iron Moulders of North
America.
A. DEMOCRAT reporter this morning
made tramp over the city to gather
information regarding the strike. The
causes are about as follows;
Mr.. Frank Heeney, chairman OF the
shop committee Of Union No. 81, sac
that the cause of the strike was tht
action of the foreman of the moulderS
shop, Mr.. Bricker. 1t appears thai
for some reason the brass mouldef OF
the shop, union man, was discharge
Saturday evening. This man, Will IN
Foxhall, was good houlder, but was
discharged yesterday morning Fore
man Bricker engaged a non-unlo-
brass mouloer, and the new man was
about to begin work when he was ap
preached by committee from the un.
ion, and informed that he could moi
work there as he was non-union
man. Foreman Bricker communicated
the action of the union men to the
firm, and Elbel 8 Co., Immediately told
Bricker to employ the non-union moul-
der notwithstanding. Thereupon the
union moulders, numbering twenty
seven men, left the shops. The strikers
declare they will not return to work
until the matter is adjusted in accord
ance with the rules of the union.
Elbel & Co. were seen by the report
ers. The gentlemen said they did not
think they we're doing anything in con
tradiction to the unions rules in EN-
ploying this new brass moulder. Th'
company did not know whether their
was union shop or not. They neve
Disseminated between black or white
union or n-union labor. If they hat
work for man they gave him plac
without asking any questions. Sine
the action of the men had been brOugh
before them, the firm had posted tn

Vital Wicks,

"There are three wicks to the lamp of
mans life: brain, blood and breath"
Thus writes an eminent American
author. The most frequent derange-
ments occur in the blood and in the
liver, by which, when in healthy condi-
tion, the blood is purified. Look out
for the terrible chain of diseases that
owe their inception to torpid liver and
consequent impure blood. When the
symptoms of liver and kidney troubles,
consumption dung scrofula), bronchitis
and dropsy make their appearance, the
system is in immediate need of course
of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. Its marvellous effects have been
tested and proven in the cure of tens of
thousands of cases. 1t purifes and en-
riches the blood, restores lost vitality.
and effectually eradicates the seeds of
the worst maladies that afflict mankind.
