THE REPOSITORY INTERPRETERS.

An Agent Attempts to Control Uniontown
Affairs---A Uniontown Correspondent
Dishes Him Up.
UNIoNTowN, May 12.-[Special. Geo.
Meyer, soliciting agent for the Canton
Repository, has been in this vicinity for
some time trying to work up a feeling
against the liquor trade in this place. He
represents and assumes to have authority
to further the interests of the local option
lists. The community at large feel highly
indignant that the Repository through its
agent should have the presumption to in.
terfere with law-abiding citizens in the
control Of their own affairs. Meyer has
in his possession a paper to which
he is securing signers, with the end in
view of calling special election to have
the liquor trade wiped out. BY his actions
he is loosing his own friends, and making
none for the paper he represents. The
point of the whole matter is that
Moyer's actions are wholly hypocritical.

An Attempt to Assassinate the Heir to
the Russian Throne.
SHANGHAI, May 13.-The following
particulars have been received of the
attack on the czarewitch. The czare-
witch had gone to the picturesque re-
sort called Otau, on Lake Biiiaumi, six
miles from Kioto. There native po-
hceman named Tshaa Sauso attacked
the prince, striking him on the head
with his sword with intent to murder.
Owing to the thickness of the sun-hel-
met worn by the prince, the sword WAS
DETECTED and described cut down the
side of the forehead, not of serious
character. The imperial party hastened
back to Kioto and got surgical assist
ance. The culprit is believed to be in
sane. The Japanese emperor and his
ministers hurried to Kioto to express
their sympathy.
In connection with the report of the
attempt made upon the life Of the Car
ewitch it is remembered that ever since
he started on his Journey around the
world his official suite has been in q state
of constant anxiety lest Just such an at
tempt should be made. 1t was in India
that his attendants considered their mas
ter to run the greatest risks, and while
he was in that country every possible
safeguard was thrown about the person
Of the prince. So solicitous were his
attendants at that time that the Care
witch became practically invisible to the
general public. Even in the case of of
ticial receptions all ceremonies were re-
duced to the narrowest limits compati-
BILE with courtesy, and the imperial
traveller returned to his privacy with all
possible speed.

IN MEMORIAM,

1t would scarcely seem fitting to pass by
the occasion of the death of Mrs. Phoebe
j. Thompson, without brief tribute to
the nobility OF character which was ap.
parent to every one of her wide circle of
friends. Mrs. Thompson was preeminent-
ly person who delighted in friendly afiil-
iations, and whose range of friendship was
wide and ever increasing, and the pleas
ure and satisfaction derived from associa-
ton with her was Of the keenest nature.
She was uniformly kind and cheerful,
never otherwise; always thoughtful for
the comfort, the good and the pleasure of
others; filled with forethought that
Others might derive happiness in liv-
ing. Her advice and her counsel
were ever ready for anyone. As coun-
sellor, she was safe, and her advice was
always reliable and strengthening. Few
people have been SO sought for helpful
suggestions, and fewer still have been OF
such uniform helpfulness. Her nature
and her opportunities in life were such
that she could give the rein to her natur-
al tendencies to social affiliations, and
no one has come within the range of her
wide influence who has failed to find
encouragement from the natural outcrop-
pings OF her kindly spirit. She was
unostentatious, modest and womanly.
She disliked sham and clung to the gen.
uine and the true. She found her strong
est impulses of friendship to 90
out toward those who were frank and
open like herself. Her life was full TO
Overlooking with good deeds and kind
thoughts, free from Bitterness and from
all that debases the mind. Her own
career must, in the nature of human
events, have contained much that could
have embittered her life, but no one ever
heard q complaint, nor did anyone ever
find her respondent or any way other than
cheerful. Here was a life to offer as a
model, and will long be held by friends
remaining as one of singular purity and
strength. The influence of her life for
good will long endure and serve to help 10
higher living many who have felt the
stimulus OF her example.

THE INQUEST.
The Death of Daniel Stanford Was Purely
Accidental.


Coroner John II. Openhimer returned
from West Brookfleld last night, where
he held an inquest over the remains of
Daniel Stanford, who was killed by falling
slate. The coroner went into West
Massillon mine, No. 2, which is one of the
finest In this part of the state. The roof
Is high and IL is hard to SEQ how an acci-
dent could occur considering the care ex.
ercised by the company. The testimony
taken showed clearly that the company
was in no way to blame'for the death Of
Mr.. Stanford. The shaft is 113 feet deep
anu the place where the accident occurred
nearly three-quarters OF mile from the
mouth. The coroner and party rode back
in coal car drawn by a mule. Superin-
tendent Leaby was very accommodating,

and the like.
