The New Savings Bank Bill.

A DAILY DEMOCRAT reporter called
upon Judge Raft at the Central Savings
Bank to get his opinion regarding the
new savings bank bill, which was
printed in this journal yesterday.
Mr.. Raft said that the bill would only
affect banks in which unclaimed de-
posits remained, the object of the bill
being the disposal of the deposits,
Once in a while one heard of money
lying unclaimed in savings bank, but
not often. The bill is good one.
In New York State savings banks
are allowed, under the State laws, to
use unclaimed deposits in erecting
bank buildings. In New York savings
banks are operated upon a different
plan from those in Ohio, inasmuch as
the banks are mutual. That is,
they are not governed by stockholders,
depositors being the stockholders, and
all profits from the banking business
are divided among the depositors. The
bill will not affect any Canton banks,
unless some time in the future an un-
claimed deposit should accrue in them.

ENERGETIC YOUNG MEN.
The Work of the Association and the
Convention Moving Forward.

The Work of the Association and the
Convention Moving Forward.
The members of the Y. NJ. G. A. held
their regular monthly meeting in their
rooms last night. Robert A. Miller
presided over the meeting, and excel
lent music was furnished by the Asso-
ciation Orchestra. Brief reports of the
work of the Association for the month
of January, were made by the different
committees. State Secretary Gordon
then made an address on the subject of
the lot purchase; he reviewed the work
of the Association on the lot question,
stating that the last time he was in
Canton, they were just talking up the
project, and now on his return he found
that they had raised all but $158 of the
necessary $4,000 to secure their lot.
He thought the amount could be made
up by this evening, and those present
agreed with him, and in few minutes
new subscriptions and additions to old
ones swelled the amount to 5000.
This action makes all subscriptions
binding and the lot is now assured.
The committee will go on soliciting
funds as large amount will be neces-
sary before they can build. The
amount thus far donated has all come
from the young men of Canton.
The secretaries of the different Y. M.
G. Associations will meet at $50 o'clock
this evening for their annual confer
ence in the Association rooms and con
tinue in session through tomorrow.
The first session of the convention
meets at 80 o'clock Thursday evening
in the First NJ. +. Church. An address
of welcome on behalf of Canton will be
delivered by Rev. E. p. Herbruck, and
DR.. Pomeroy, of Cleveland, will re-
spond. Several fine male quartettes
will be in attendance and some excel
lent music furnished. The public is
cordially invited to attend all the exer-
cises during the convention.

DESTRUCTION BY FIRE.
osnaburg Visited by a Large Con-
6agration.
The sprankle Mill Totally DESTROYED
Loss $4,000; Insurance 90, 900
mo Prospect of the Mill
Being Rebuilt.

Last night about IL o'clock the peo,
pie of the little village of Osnabure
were aroused from their slumbers byan
alarm of fire. The large frame grist
mill with boiler house attached, known
as the "Sprankle Mill" was on fire and
in few minutes was burned to the
ground. The dre is supposed to have
originated in the boiler house, as this is
the first place from which any tire was
seen. In less than half an hour after
the fire was first discovered the whole
building was in blaze. The "bucket
brigade" through hard work managed
to save the wagon shed and barn. Both
Of these were on fire atdifferent times.
Even the hay in the barn had caught
and was making considerable headway,
but was finally extinguished.
The wind, which at first
was against them, suddenly changed
its course, or the surrounding buildings
would have been destroyed. The mill
was run by steam, and while the fire
was raging the people present were
afraid the boiler would explode, but the
pipes melted off and gave the steam a
chance to escape.
The total loss is estimated at Sl2OO0
There was an insurance of $1,000 upon
the stock, but no insurance upon the
building and machinery. The mill was
owned by Mr.. John Sprankle and ope-
rated by Messrs. Hawk & Breckbin.
There is no prospect of the mill being
rebuilt, and this will result in great
loss to the town. 1t was always knowa
as a good mill stand, but the loss is 50
large that it will hardly justify the
owner in rebuilding it.
Mr.. Sprankle is one of the Jurors at
the present term of court and has been
in Canton for some time past, serving
in that capacity. He knew nothing Of
his loss until he was informed by one
of his neighbors who came to town this
morning to tell him.

position at Columbus, by the State and
the original northwest territory, that
will be only second to the great centen-
nial of 1876, at Philadelphia. The Board
of managers are very solicitous that
each County in the State should do its
duty in bringing this about, and the
plan recommended is to form County
Centennial Societies in each County.
They are sending out lecturers to
awaken the people to the importance
of it. A. A. Graham, of Co
lumbus, the Assistant Secretary
delivered several lectures at MassillOn
during the Farmers Institute held
there, after which a constitution for
the organization of a society in Stark
county was signed by some seventy
persons. Notice was given that an OF
ganizatiOn would be effected last
Wednesday, upon the adjournment of
the Horticultural Society in Grange
Hall, Canton.
A temporary organization was effect
ed by electing Squire Pontius chairman
and j. F. Niesz secretary. After con-
siderable discussion it was voted to de-
fer going into permanent organization,
and that the secretary notify the direc
tors of the Agricultural Society to give
due notice, and work up an interest in
their respective townships, inviting all
to meet in City Hall, Canton, Wednes-
day, February 15, at p. m. for the pur-
pose of organizing and formulating
some plan, that will cause Stark county
to be well represented at
oHIo's GREAT CENTENNIAL.
All manufacturers, merchants, busi.

General S. II. Hurst, Director Gen

SOLD AT LAST.

Andrew Reymann Purchases the Meyers
Lake Property for s55, 200.
The deal between Andrew Reymann,
the Wheeling brewer, and Ed. Meyer,
owner OF Meyers Lake, for the purchase
of that property was brought to a close
today by Mr.. Reymann making the
purchase,
Some difficulty was had regarding the
price asked, Mr.. Meyers wanting $780,
600 and Raymann offering $4,000. The
parties concluded to split the difference
and price of $55,ooo was agreed upon.
Mr.. Rsymann was seen by DEMO
GRAFT reporter at the Ft. Wayne depot
just as he was about to leave for
Wheeling. He said he contemplated
making some needed improvements
in the property, which would
make it an unsurpassed pleasure re,
sort. He seemed highly pleased with
his new acquisition.
The deed has not been signed as yet
but the parties have an agreement be-
tween them. Mr.. Meyer will have pos
session another year.
Mr.. Frank Menegay has a lease on
the hotel for four years yet, so there
will not be very much change in the
place for some time to come.
When asked by DEMOCRAT re-
porter whether he expected to move to
Canton, he replied that he didn't
for he had lived in Wheeling for 95
years and all his interests were there.

Excitement in Louisville.

There is quite an excitement over in
Louisville at present, about the chang
ing the name of the town to Oval City.
The name of the POstoffice was ordered
changed about a week ago, to take
effect on April l. This raised quite a
rumpus and the other side Immediately
got up a remonstrance which is signed
by over 400 citizens, and they have sent
Mr.. G. L. Juliard on to Washington
City with it. The people who oppose
the change are largely in the majority.
The reason given for the change is that
there is another village in Ohio by the
name of Louisville, and that there has
been some trouble in getting the mails.

Abraham G. Fritz has sued the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company for $5,00(
damages. He claims in his petition
that in October, 1886, he was in the EN-
ploy of the company as watchman
and that the company caused ditch
five feet deep to be dug about the place
he was working, and while in the EN-.
ploy of the company he fell into the
ditch, injuring his head and shoulder
so as to disable him for about six
months.
Mrs. Caroline Reynolds, widow of the
late Ezekiel Reynolds, who was killed
on the Fort Wayne Railroad, about
four weeks ago, at the South Market
street crossing, has sued the company
for $1,000. She claims in her petition

negligence of the engineer in not blow
ing the whistle on approaching the
crossing. She is represented by Thayer

o., on Saturday, Saturday the 4th of
February. The President, Jacob Os-
walt, of Maxine, being absent, w. S.
Kline, of Bolivar, this county, was

the very slippery and dangerous condi-
ton of the streets and roads, only a
few bee keepers were present, but not
withstanding this fact, very pleasant
and profitable time was had. A com
mittee, consisting of Henry Beatty, of
Massillon, j. H. Smith and L. J. Wise,
of Canton, was appointed to wait on
the Directors of the Agricultural Soci-

Death of Ida G. Hershberger.
CENTER, o., Feb. 6, 18e

CENTER, o., FEB. b, 1888.
Died, on Sunday, Feb. 8, 1888, of
diphtheria, Ida Gertrude Hershberger,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Eli Hersh-
berger, aged six years, six months and
six days. Her funeral discourse was
preached at Good Hope, by Rev, Sum-
mers, after which a large concourse of
of friends followed the remains to their
last resting place.
IN MEMORY OF IDA G, HERSHBERG Err,
by her teacher and schoolmate, of the
Center School, Osnaburg township:
Little Ida was one whom every
body loved. She was one of those rare
and lovely flowers of growing
here until we are all enchanted with its
loyeliness, and then taken by the hands
of angels and transplanted in Gods
beautiful garden above. Not only is
little Ida missed by her beloved
parents, but teacher, schoolmates and
neighbors will not soon forget the
bright prattling little girl who seemed
to reflect the sunlight of Paradise from
Him who said "of such is the Kingdom
OF Heaven" May the sweet dews of
heavenly grace fall on the hearts of the
afflicted family, although their dear one
is physically dead, although that little
clay tenement is uninhabited, it is a
sweet consolation to know that one so
young and innocent is not according to
Divine promise forever dead to them.
God, who tempers the wind to shorn
lamb, will help and strengthen them to
bear this sore affliction."
Alas y thought Of saddeSt weight
Our minds are passing through
A loving and kind schoolmate
TO life has bid adieu. W II. s.

The report also says that the Hors-
ford's contains the nutritious phos-
pilates, while all the cream tartar pow
ders contain tartrate of potassium and
sodium, and the alum powders contain
hydrate of alumina, sodium sulphate,
and ammonium sulphate.
The idea of introducing the phos-
pilates into the food by means of bak-
ing powder, was conceived by Prof.
HOrsfOrd, formerly Professor of
Chemistry in Harvard University,
several years ago, and if report
be true, he has not only been
remarkably successful in making such
a product, but also in selling it. 1t is
well known that the phosphates consti-
tute practically the only nutritious por
tion of the wheat grain, actual expert
ment having shown that wheat which
had been deprived of its phosphates
would not sustain life. 1t is also well
known that in the process of boiling
our fine wheat -four nearly all of the
phOsphates are lost in the bran, and
that therefore fine wheat flour alone
will not sustain life. Prof. HOrsford's
idea was to restore these lost phos-
pilates in the form of baking powder.
The above report shows that he has not
only done this, but has also produced a
powder that is the strongest one in the
market. .
