A CANTON SENSATION.
The Widow of Millionaire @. Aultman Un-
der the are of a Guardian
o.<>ioi TsLngra~a IN .hS Rs0iss>r


der the are of Guardian
Special TsIs0rGDs 10 the Rs0tster.
CANTON, o., January IA sensation
has been caused here by the appoint
ment of a guardian for Mrs. Aultman,
widow of c. Aultman, the millionaire
agricul ural implement manufacturer,
who died here about q year ago leaving
most Of his money TO his wife.
The most sensational features are the
allegations made by relatives of Mr..
Aultman that his widow is OF unsound
mind and not capable Of managing her
own affairs. and the consequent demand
that guardian be appointed to take
care Of her and her interests.
Mrs. Aultman in turn asserts that she
is emlnently able 10 take care OF her
estate and that the whole thing is q
scheme on the part of her late husbands
relatives to get control OF her money
that they may turn IL to their own nses.
The affair duplicates some OF the
wealthiest aud most prominent people
in this city, and may be the cause for
an investigation that will lay bare the
skeletons in several family closets.
At tie instance of those who seek to
place restrictions about Mrs. Aultman,
she was to-day brought before the
Probate Court. and after being exam
ined, the Probate Judge issued an or
der that the guardian take charge OF
her business affairs. Mrs. Aultman
claims that the Court has been unduly
Influenced, and that her rights have
heen abridged without due process of
law, and without cause. 4

Form an Organization.
CHICAGO, January 7-Since the great
base ball meeting at Indianapolis, q few
weeks ago, which resulted in the forma-
ton of a twelve club league and the alb
sorption of the old associations, there has
been much curiosity to know what would
become of number Of good ball towns
which were ''sold out" by the consolida-
ton.
1t was considered probable that new
League would be formed TO take up the
secondary clubs, and the idea was very at
tractive to host of would-oe organizers.
Accordingly John w. Speas, Captain Of
the Kansas City club, sent out call to
eight of the principal Western cluos out OF
the big league, asking their presence at a
meeting in Chicago, to organize an eight
club circuit.
This meeting was held at the Welland
Hotel to day, and resulted in the formation
of the Central League" TO be composed
of Kansas CITY, Omaha, Minneapolis, St
Paul, Milwaukee, indianapolis, Columbus
and Toledo, subject to certain cootingen-
cies a meeting for the perfection of the
organization will be held soon, probably

1t was said that the Speakers physi-

he could not hold a pen to sign his
name. A Southern Senator was also
quoted as saying that he did not believe
Mr.. Crisp would ever get out Of bed

caused great alarm at the Capitol and
greatly distressed the Speakers friends.
Fortunately they seem TO have been
