-. CONFIRMED. sssaL--
The News-Democrat Was RightlRe
garding the New Line
Between Canton and Massillon--- Mr.
Robert A. Miller Interviewed---A New
Route Proposed.

The NEWS DEMOCRAT was the first paper
to give the news regarding the consolida-
ton of the Canton and Massillon compa-
nies.
The prospects of an electric road be-
tween the points are becoming brighter
every day and IL is altogether probable
that steps will be taken at the meeting of
Business men this evening which will
make the matter certainty and will
cause the company to at once commence
TO build the line.
1t ia proposed by the company to issue
preferred Canton Street Railway Co.
stock in the sum of $4,000, the stock 10
bear7 per cent. interest, payable semi
annually. OF this amount of stock, the
company desire the business men of Can
ton to subscribe for S25,000. Ifthis is done
the work will be proceeded with at once.
In issuing this stock the company will
insert a clause providing that at the end
of three years the company has the privi.
lege Of buying back the stock at par,
with accrued interest. Messrs. Lynch and
Miller, who control the Canton line, will
guarantee that the interest for the first
year will be paid, SO that those buying the
stock will realize on their investment,
They also agree TO buy the stock back on
January 1, 1898, provided that they be no.
titled by October 1, 1892 that those who
purchased the stock desire to SELL
Massillon business men have
already taken lively interest
in the construction of the line and have
taken stock in the Massillon end of road.
If all goes as proposed, the electric cars
will be running to Massillon by July 4.
II is now proposed to abandon the idea
of running the line along the public high
way, but change the route so as TO take in
Sippo Lake. This will increase the dist
ance to short degree, but the Canton
people will not have any more line to
build, as the new road would begin at
Myers lake, where the old one ends.
MIR. Robert A. Miller stated this morning
that this plan would probably be adopted,
as there would then be no unnecessary
expense to keep up the road. IA number
of those who signed the waiver giving the
right of way along the public road" said
Mr.. Miller, "did so under an agreement
that the company should keep up the
whole road. This the company cannotaf-
ford to do. If we run by way of Sippo
lake, we can thus utilize all our tracks the
year around, while underthe present con-
dition, the road TO Myers lake is in use but
little during the year"
Surveyors are now at work establishing
grade on the proposed new route.

| The contest OF 1868 was fought upon q
| seeming aquiesence IN the views
Of Stephens and Morton: The
dear people we're deceived with
catch phrases coined TO deceive and
a new lease of power secured by
false pretenses, and q war cry campaign.
But when the excitement OF the election
had passed and there was no longer any
danger of ''iniuring the Republican partyo
all discussion was stifled and the first act
signed by the newly elected President was
that which had been laid aside for that
season of "calmness with which we should
view all great financial questions"
The next step in the conspiracy was a
logical sequence TO all that had preceded.
Having secured coin payment OF interest
and principal Of all bonds IL was now in
order TO still further increase the value of
the one and to secure the payment OF the
other.
To this end silver was demonetized by q
trick.
In the revision OF the United States
statutes reducing the volume of coin one
half, and decreasing the probability OF
rapid bond payment. Then the volume OF
the paper currency was contracted by n
systematic course of substituting interest
bearing bonds for non-interest
bearing currency, and the first chapter
of financial blunders and crimes
of the Wall street savants ended in a panic,
revellinV in its first wild terror the dis
graceful connection of high public officials
with the worst elements of stock jobbery.
This is the history, in brief, of the demon.
etization of silver. In another article l
will discuss its effects upon the business

Crops--.Other Matters.
ALLIANCE, May 20.-[Special.l .l-Early
this morning as west bound freight train
was nearing Highland, Pa, ON the Ft.
Wayne road, the fireman happening to
glance out of the cab window was
Mortified to see the head and shoulders
of a man lying face upwards by the side OF
the rail. Upon stopping their train and
investigating it was found that the rest OF
the man had been crushed and grounded
into pulp and scattered abong the track
for over mile. From letters in his coat
pocket 1t was learned he was Herbert De-
long of Elks Garden, W. Va. He had been
stealing ride on some freight during the
night and falling asleep was jolted Off.
j. z. Wartz, n representative of the Chi
cago Board of Trade, stopped off here this
morning to inquire into the condition OF
the crops. He Is returning to Chicago from
a trip through Kansas and southern llli-
nois, Indiana and Ohio, He says, "The
prolonged draught has done great damage
to all cereals throughout the territory Wis
tied. The frosts have done no particular
damage except to the grape. Especially
Is this so in southern Ohio where the
prospects Of crop are entirely destroyed"
Mr.. Werst says the maximum average
yield per acre in wheat will be about 10
bushels and had there been rain within
the past month II would have increased
the yield from two to three bushels.

A. Colored Man Who Is Undoubtedly
Fake Makes Some Great Claims.
severely.


What certainly may be classed as re-
markable piece OF humanity has been in
the city for several days. The man is
known as DR.. William King, getting his
title of doctor from the fact that he has
certain kind Of root which he claims will
cure any and all diseases.
The man is, il his statements are true,
generously supplied with interior organs.
He claims to have two Hearts, two extra
sets of ribs and numerous other extra in
testines. He has been giving exhibitions
before a number OF Canton doctors and
some of the feats performed by the man
are wonderful. He claims to be able, at
his own will, to drop one set OF ribs down
to the lower part of his abdomen. He
performed feat where it seems as though
this was done. By placing the hand on
that part OF the body, what appears to be
ribs may be felt. He also drops both of
his hearts, which are located on the right
and left side of his breast, down into the
lower regions of the stomach tbeing easy
to feel the beats in that region. Hei able
to stop the pulsations in the wrist it being
| impossible TO feel any heart beats. The
heart can be felt beating on both sides of
| the breast.
He carries large X inch iron walking
stick, which he takes in his right hand and
with it strikes his left arm with such force
| as to bendt he rod. The man when stripped
presents wonderful appearance, the
muscles standing out on his body in large
knots, all of them being as hard as IRON
| Although not appearing to be over 40 years
1 of age he claims to be 81, saying he was
born in the year 1898 at New Bedford Mass
BY trade he is cobbler and worked at II
up to twenty years ago, when he started
out giving exhibitions of his so called
double anatomy. He is a negro, his par
ents being natives Of East India.
Several doctors before whom he gave
exhibitions were called upon, and they al
claim that his performances are nothing
but display of wonderful muscular dc
va,opment. The double set of ribs II
explained by the hardening of the abdom
inal walls. Tho pulsation felt on the
right side a. all transmlted by muscular
| pow.r from the ltfE side. The stopping
of the heart beats Ia the wrists is caused
by the lig IN ;ening OF TIE mucts on the ar.
teries. Noue of the docturS talked Will
take any stock in the mans statements a
. to his double set of organs. King is tryini
to make arrangements to secure q room
; | here in which to give a few exhibitions
He is regarded as fake by people In posi-
, ton to know the facts.

A four.year-old daughter OF Jonl Rus
sell, of No. l4i East Tuscarawas street,
met with an accident this noon thatcam
near resulting in death, and but for the
prompt medical service rendered the
child would have been dead.
The family were cleaning house, and
most OF the household effects had been
placed in the rear yard. Among the
articles placed outside were two bottles
containing some kind of medicine
or poison. These were placed on table
within easy reach of the child. The little
one was playing in the yard when her eyes
fell on the bottles. She went at once to
the table and picked up the walls and be-
fore anyone noticed her she had drank
the entire contents.
The little ones screams soon brought
the family to where she was. The child
soon became very sleepy and the parents
becoming frightened brought her to the
office of DR.. March. By this time the
child was sound asleep, but after work
ing with her for long time the physician
succeeded in restoring her. For long
time after regaining consciousness the
little one was deathly sick, vomiting sew
eral times. She is now out of danger. i
was impossible to learn what the bottle:
contained as they were destroyed by the
| women, but it is quite certain that one o.
them contained caustic poison as The

One of the finest audiences that ever
gathered in the Grand was there last even
ing to enjoy the grand music of Gilmore's
famous band, the most popular aggrega-
ton OF musical celebrities in the United
States. The entertainment was a two
hours delight, without lull or weakness
in the entire programme. Those who were
there would not enjoy review of the
numbers, and those who were not there
certainly could gather no adequate idea of
the inspiration of the occasion, from any
attempt to portray it in printers ink. The
programme, as printed was somewhat
varied from. The added numbers were
in most instances the best. The saxo-
phone solo byE. A.. LIE Febre, was among
| the best. Mr.. LIE Febre is recognized as the
best artist on the saxophone in the worli.
The saxophone is the invention of tue
French musician, Nj. Sax, and its tones
are very soft, melodious and sweet. The
! saxophone is wind instrument of brass,
blown through by reed, thus partaking
| of the musical qualities OF a brass instru-
| ment and clarinet. 1t is a very difficult
l instrument to operate. Another instru-
| ment rarely seen In musical combinations,
| and which excited great deal of curiosity
| among our musical enthusiasts, was the
| contra bass bassoon. 1t looks like town
pump, only instead of giving us water
| spout, the wind which escapes from the
| nozzle resolves itself into musical sound
that seems like cross between the harp
that Eolus built and the lowest gutteral OF
| a Durham bull believing in a deep cellar
l OF course everybody went wild over
Campanini, and when in response to a
| protracted encore he came back smiling
and gave us, "Good Bye Sweetheart" the
highest enthusiasm of the evening was
reached. Miss Maud Powell, who is only
21, is probably the finest violinist of hei
years in the United States. Miss Kline
soprano, was substituted for Nine. Louise
Natal, and she certainly exceeded expec
tations. In response to an encore sh!,
sang"The Song That Reached My Heart

round doll face, lovely arms and bust
and beautiful eyes and teeth, but we hav'

her to stand-still.
The national anthem Columbia, by tn
full band was the grandest number of tn
evening. The programme would b
strengthened by more instrumental solos

a Horse Creates Considerable Excitement
This Morning.
The family of G. A. Daugherty, No. 1913
South Cleveland avenue, thought that a
cyclone had struck the house this morning
at about o'clock. There was percepti-
BILE shock and noise like the falling of
articles of household furni-
ture, which thoroughly aroused the in
mates. Investigation proved that run
away horse had occasioned the disturb
ance and for a short time had made things
lively about the premises.
The horse is the property of Merriman
Bros, slate roofers, and became fright
ened while near the FIT. Wayne railroad.
The horse tore loose from the wagon, and
started up Cleveland avenue, dragging the
heavy shafts behind. Crazed with fright,
tho animal dashed into Mr.. Daughterty's
yard, and attempted to run between the
house and paling fence, the space be-
tween the house and the fence being only
three feet. The heavy shafts struck the
house, tearing through the weather boards.
The shafts were broken to splinters, but
not before the shutters had been torn off
the windows, and the fence badly dam
aged. The horse continued its flight to
the back yard, where il was caught. The
animal was not badly injured but limped
perceptibly.
