A FEARFUL ACCIDENT.
A North Industry Laborer Has
His Leg Severed by Sharp Rocks.

Herbert L. Minnis, aged 80 years, an
employe of the Standard Paving Brick
Company, at North Industry, was prob
ably fatally injured this morning at 10
o'clock, while at work at that place. He,
with the other employees, was engaged in
getting shale from the bank located near
the works, when slide Of the clay start
ed. HIS two friends cried to him to run.
He turned and started down the bank
but a car standing on Valley side track
at the bottom of the hill interferred with
his progress and before he could run
around II the rocks and clay were upon
him, The debris almost covered him
from sight.
A force of men started at once to
free him from his position. When taken
out it was found his left leg had been
completely severed below the knee by the
sharp rocks. The knee was also very
badly mangled. DIR. Walker, of this city
accompanied by DR.. Myers went at once
to the scene of the accident. 1t was
found necessary to amputate the limb
above the knee on account Of it being so
badly mangled. His spine is also injured.
This afternoon he is very low and little
hope Is entertained for his recovery. He
ia a single man and lives at Sandyville.
John Harbert and Jake Schario, who were
working with him, escaped uninjured.

BOLD BURGLARS
Euter the Jewelry Store of X. NJ. Lin
coin and s cure $500 Worth
of Valuables.

One of the boldest burglares ever
known in Canton was committed last
night about o'clock, at the jewelry store
The thieves secured jewelry valued at $500
and made good their escape.
Mr.. Lincoln left the store about quar-
ter of six, going to his home in Marion
street for supper. When he left he locked
the door as usual. A tray of rings was in
the window and about thirty watches in
drawers in the safe. This he neglected
to lock.
When he entered the store less than an
hour afterwards he noticed the rear win
dow open. The tray of rings was miss
ing, and thinking perhaps he had placed
them in the safe he made hasty examin-
alton, and discovered that the drawers
had been taken out and about thirty
watches could not be found.
On examining the rear window it was
learned the thieves had entered
the Splace by the window, break
ing out small piece of glass with a
bar of railroad iron, which enabled them
to get at tie catch and open the window.
Inc Inatter was reporteu 10 tne ponce
and several officers detailed to investigate
and if possible capture the burglars.
Messages were sent to all of the surround
ing cities but no trace could be found of
the men or jewelry.
1t is supposed after doing the job, the
men went TO the crossing and boerded the
west bound passenger train on the p. Ft.
w. & G.. The loss falls heavily on Mr..
Lincoln, as he had small stock which by
hard work he had managed to pay for.
None of the custom work was taken.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Frank N. Bryan Struck by O. G. p. Train
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
As Frank N. Bryan, of Marlboro town
ship, was driving to Alliance to-day he had
very narrow escape from instant death,
or terrible injury.
As he approached the G. & p. railway
crossing at the Clay Shaft he looked in
each direction for train, but neither saw
nor heard one coming. Hence he drove
upon the track with no thought of danger.
Imagine his feelings, then, when just
as his horse was on the track he saw Sec
ond No. 36, consisting of only the engine,
tender and one car, bearing down upon
him from the north at fearful velocity.
He managed to hit his horse sharp cut
with the whip, and none too soon, for as
the animal gave leap forward the engine
caught the hind wheels of Mr.. Bryan's
buggy, and in a second he found himself
rolling on the ground and his vehicle re-
duced to kindling wood, some distance
away, while the horse. unhurt, ran up the
embankment on the left to the fence and
stopped.
Mr.. Bryan at first thought he was not
hurt at all, but later he discovered that his
left leg was badly bruised. He says he is
sure no danger signal was sounded by tho
engineer, but that gentleman, Mr.. Nat
Baldwin, says he blew the whistle and
rang the bell.-[ Alliance Review.

A NEW INFIRMARY.
The Committee Reports That SuiIici-
: ent Money is Expended Each Year.
In Giving Aid to Outside Poor, to Pay the
Interest on $50, ,ooo-.-A New Building
Recommended

The committee appointed by Judge
Pease to examine the report ofthe county
commissioners for the year ending Sep
tember 1, 1890, find that said reports cor
rect and that the auditors books are i'm
good shape.
They also urge the necessity of erecting
an additional infirmary building and that
some action be taken regarding the pur-
chase of county supplies.
The report is signed by John c. Mong,
William II. Snider and John G.. welty,
prosecuting attorney.
The section regarding the Infirmary
reads: Fourth, We find that in the expen-
ditures of the county by reason of main
tanning the poor, large accounts have
been allowed and paid for the support of
paupers and needy, to persons who have
charge Of said poor in other places than
the county inflrmary and that the
amounts thus paid out suggest the neces-
sity of the erection of an additional In
firmary building, sufficient to meet the
growing demands of our county. The ex-
cesses thus expended yearly would be
sufficient to pay the interest on sum of
more than fifty thousand dollars.

Prosecutor welty Compliments d.

Hon. John C. Welty has just been re-
iieved from a six years. term as Prosecut-
ing Attorney OF Stark county. Wesee by
the NEws-DEMoCRAT that he prosecuted
273 cases, in which there were verdicts OF
mot guilty" in only ten. And the county
never had to pay single dollar for legal
assistance in the preparation and prose-
cution of these cases. Mr.. Welty has rea-
son to be proud Of such a record, and
Stark county should congratulate herself
on having had so good an official. He is
comparatively young man with an hon
orable ambition, and the future has in
store greater honors for him, just as sure
as that the people admire brains, compe-
tency, and high sense of honor in pub.

Rev. Howard MacQueary to Speak Next
Sunday d veninR.

Sunday d veninR.
Several papers in the country have
stated that Rev. Howard MacQueary has
been offered professorships in several
schools. A NEws-DEMoCRAT reporter
called on Rev. MacQueary this morning
in regard to the matter and learned that It
was a mistake. He has received several
letters from friends of his who are con-
nected with colleges, wishing him success
in the outcome of his trial. He thinks no
conclusion will be reached in the matter
before the end of next month. Rev. Mac.
Queary would not accept any position in a
college as II is his intention to remain in
ministry.
Father Ignatius, an English Monk, who
is visiting i'm New York City, and an ex-
tremely High Church man, last Sunday
preached sermon in that city in which
he denounced Rev. DR.. Hebert Newton, Of
New York City, and Rev. Howard Mac
Queary as dishonest heritics and said they
should be elected from the church for
the views they entertain. On next Sun.
day evening in the Episcopal church, this
city, Rev. MacQueary will preach, the
subject of his sermon being "Judging
Others" 1t will be a reply to the sermon
of Father Ignatius.

DIR. Nicholls' Great Success in Canton.

Many people-some of the very best
are very reluctant to conflde their ills and
physical shortcomings to their family
physicians. They do not like to meet
every day a man who has their secret in
his possession. Such persons allow their
maladies to go on and consume them
rather than ask the family doctor for a
relief which he may or may not know
how TO give. To all such the locating OF
DIR, Nichols in our city is a boon. He is
gentleman and whatever the patient may
say to him is received with the strictest
treating the most critical cases, and with
the high reputation in which ne is held,
our readers are familiar. When II is
added that he never betrayed confidence
placed in him, IL will be seen that no deli
cacy should prevent those suffering from
obscure or complicated diseases from con-
sulting him. The doctor can be COM
suited free of charge at his office, No: IA

A MAssILLoN FAILURE.
A Leading Jeweler Makes an Assignment
Early This Morning.

Sherman S. Hathaway, the leading jew
eler of Massillon, made an assignment
this morning to Frank L. Baldwin. The
papers were filed with Probate Judge
Fawcett shortly after 8 o'clock. The as
signment will be big surprise to the cit
zens of Massillon as Mr.. Hathaway was
considered gilt edge. He pieces his as
sets at $1,000 and the liabilities are not
known. The cause of the failure is a
mystery. The assignment covers the
stock of jewelry and house and lot locat-
ed in Massillon.
The following special was sent out from
Massillon last night: The jewelry store
of S. S. Hathaway was taken possession
of this evening by DR.. c. +. Porter to sat
isfy chattel mortage for $4,000. A Chi
cago firm was also pushing a claim for
$500, which precipitated the failure.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l.-The Democrats
of the Senate have transferred the fight
against the Force bill to the approval of
the journal, and as no business can be
done until the journal is approved, they
are at least temporarily in control.
The House is in an exceedingly ugly
temper, and repetition of the exciting
scenes of yesterday occurred this p. m.
There is bad blood everywhere. The whole
Democratic representation in the Senate
and House stands ready to stop the wheels
of governmental machinery in order to
defeat the iniquitous bill, which is de-
signed to perpetuate the Republican party
in power.
A sensation was caused in the silver
pool investigating committee today by the
discovery that Senator Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, was one of the men who made
money by specializing in silver.

The condition of Herbert L. Minis, so
severely injured in the shale bank at
North Industry yesterday afternoon, is
much better, and looks very favorable to
recovery unless outside complications set
in. The accident was peculiar, in the
way in which the man was injured. When
the clay struck him he was against car,
and the force Of the sliding shale was so
great that it cut the leg entirely through,
excepting little skin, which was stretch
ed like piece of rubber, the mans foot
being two feet from his knee but still con-
nected by the skin. He is resting as easy
as could be expected this afternoon. DR..
A. B. Walker is attending him.

A Hint to Those Who Need Medical
Advice.

We believe that it is as appropriate to
speak of the ability and success of persons
engaged in the practice of medicine and
surgery as of like attributes in reference
to those engaged in other professions of
business; and in contemplation of the vast

duty and a pleasure to point the victims of
disease to those from whom they can be
sure of honest treatment, and whose sue
cess is attested by hundreds of reliable
people in our own midst.

sional services of reliable physician
