ANOTHER COSTLY RATE WAR
To Be Precipitated if the Nickel Plate
Refuses TO Restore the Tariff
Fruitless Effort to Bring the Disturbing Road
Into L~ine-The Chicago and Ohio River
Trouble Still Far from Settled.

A meeting or the east bound passenger
committee of the Central Traffic Associa-
ton was held at Chicago yesterday, to con-
slider the situation as affected by the
Nisael-plate's reduction in rates. Although
ihe EIckel-plate cas agreed TO withdraw
the s125 30 rate TO New York. it has made no
promises in regard to its cheap tickets to
Buffalo, and Chairman Mcdonald is still
In correspondence with the PRECEDENT and
general passenger agent Of the road. in the
hope of inducing them TO cancel ell unau-
thorized rates. The claim made by the
NicKel-plste people that the Wabash had
contracted with excursion parties on the
basis OF sl2.50 from Chicago to New
York, is emphatically denied by the Wa
bash representativesin Chicago. W ho offer to
produce affidav its from every man III the
passenger department of the company in
refutation of the charge. Not Q single road
has met the Nickel plate rates thus far,
anu it was agreed ut the meeting that no
action would be taken Immediately. 1t il

four hours, unless a satisfactory answer to
the demand upon the Nickel-plate Is made,

Judge Gresham yesterday took under ad-
visemept the Interstate case,
which has been on hearing before him. at
Chicago, for three days. The attorneys for
both sides will. however, submit addition
al arguments. and q decision will probably
not be rendered for some weeks. Among
other weighty authorizes submitted to-
day was q decision of Justice Field. of the
United states Supreme Court, do
nying the Jurisdiction of q COM
mission appointed by Congress to ex-
anime the accounts and books of the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, which
corporation was indebted to the govern
ment. The ompany refused to permit the
commission TO examine it's books, and Jus

pointed by Congress for such purposes of

ana therefore unconstitutional. He was
not ready to decide that they were. n

History Revised.

In speaking of history of the under
ground railroads of slavery days, work
which is being prepared by Prof Seibert,
of the State University, and the presence
of Prof. Seibert at Mt. Pleasant to OBJ
tain data, the Steubenville Gazette offers
the following bit of revised history. In
his rambles Prof. Seibert has discovered
the truth of claim advanced some time
ago that the anti slavery movement be-
gan in the South and not in New Eng
land, and that many of the strongest
anti-slavery advocates in Ohio during the
early days were persons who left the
South because of slavery. There was a
strong anti-slavery movement in the
South when slavery was profitable in
stitution in New England. Thomas JEFF
ferson, a stakeholder himself, attempted
TO have emancipation ingrafted in the
Declaration of Independence, and this
item appears i'll the original draft, but he
was overpowered by the other members
of the Convention. Benjamin Lundy
published his anti-slavery paper in the
South before he made his appearance in
this region, and to him belongs the con-
version of VIM. Lloyd Garrison, who got
the credit of the work, and through him
New England was made most prominent
in the movement. Long after Lundy
went into New England slaveholding OBJ
tanned here.

THE PRoHIBITIoNIsTs

Meet in Convention on Tuesday and Nom
mate Full County Ticket.
The Prohibition County Convention
met in this place on Tuesday. Forty or
fifty members of the party were in at
tendance, and besides nominating full
county ticket, they listened to speech
by L. b. Logan, of Alliance, the Chair
man of the Prohibition State Executive
Committee. The ticket named is as fol
lows: Auditor, A. 2. White, Smith;
Clerk, E. S. Ely, Warren; Sheriff, j. W.
Darrah, Pease; Recorder, VIM. M. Bro
kaw; Commissioner, Benjamin Wilson;
Infirmary Director, Eugene Watson,
Union; Coroner, s. NJ. Loper. After the
nominations collection, amounting to
1880, was taken up, to bear campaign
expenses. The members of the party
were also asked to volunteer speeches
during the campaign, and one hundred
speeches were volunteered by those pres
ent.
Mr.. Logan was then introduced, and
harangued the crowd for about an hour.
We listened to him for twenty min
utes, and for that length of time he said
nothing in reference to prohibition. He
confined his remarks to National Banks
and the issue of the paper currency in
war times. The former he condemned;
what he thought of the latter we were
not able to gather He attacked and sex
ploded" some of the fallacies of McKin-
ley, but we believe the Mckinley bill has
not yet been repealed. The convention
was harmonious.

GOOD MAN GONE.
Death from Typhoid Fever of James
johnson.
Devotees of Cold Water Meet at the Court
House and Nominate a County
Ticket-Other News.

James Johnson died at his home or
High Ridge on Thursday last from
! typhoid fever. Mr.. johnson had been il
about three weeks, but from the start
owing to his advanced age, II years, the
chances were considered to be against
him. He was one of the substantial
farmers of The county, and no man
merited or received greater respect than
he. He was a member of the United
Presbyterian church at High Ridge, and
his death causes vacancy in the church
and community which can not easily be
filled. He was married to Nancy Cor
don, December 80, 1850 There were born
to them six children-William, Gordon,
Martha, wife of James Wise, John, Ross
and Elmer, deceased. James johnson
was man of sterling character-meek,
humble and unObtrusive in his walk, he
was most loved by those who best knew
him; there was kindliness of spirit
which characterized him and which was
manifest in favors, willingly bestowed
upon those about him. He scOrned that
which was evil, but rejoiced in the pro-
gress of the right, ever contributing OF
his influence and means to the advance
ment of the good In the Church he was
ever ready to do his full share. A worthy
citizen, Cody man, whose life was an
"epistle read and known of man" he has
laid down his work, but his influence
abides. No more fitting epitaph could
be written beneath his name, than the
words of inspiration Blessed ara the
dead which die in the Lord"
The funeral took place on Friday, serv
icces being conducted by Rev Thompson
Interment at High Ridge.
There are a number of other cases of
fever in Mr.. Johnson's family. A son is
seriously ill in the house in which Mr..
johnson died, while another son and his
sons wife, who live short distanc
away, are also ill. There are also
number of other cases in the neighbor-
hood, but so far it has been impossible to
discover any local cause for the prevail
ence of the disease.

WHY GO TO HOPEDALE
Normal CollegeP-A Number of Reasons
For Attending this Popular School


For Attending this Popular School
Because it has reputation second to
no College in Eastern Ohio. 1t is a per.
fectly healthy locatiOn-nO malaria. IL
is quiet town, with no cars nor other
means of excitement to distract the
minds of the student from study
Parents may feel assured that their
children are safe. No other College in
this part of the State requires so mucb
work to complete the scientific or class
ical course. "A diploma means some
thing. Improvements will be completed
this fall making the practical business
department the best equipped i'm Eastern
Ohio. HOpedale College is the only one
in this part of the State that has work
ing telegraph line, with an experienced
operator for teacher.
The Music Department is unsurpassed.
Instruction is given in vocal and instru-
mental music, including piano, organ,
violin, and orchestra music. Mrs. Sarah
Jordan Pickett, of Indiana, is Principal
of this department. She has had eight
years experience in College work, in these
subjects.
The Art Department is in charge of an
experienced instructor of known ability.
Among the subjects taught are free hand
drawing, crayon drawing, pastel painting,
painting in water eolors, painting in oil,
and clay modelling. Students will be
graduated in Music and Art on COM
pletion of the course
Elocution, German, French, telegraphv,
stenography, commercial branches, use
of the type writer, and free hand drawing
are included under one tuition, and are
free for six weeks from September 9th.
Extra tuition is required in most of these
subjects by other colleges, thus about
doubling the tuition.
Expenses are less than at any other
institution in Ohio giving equal advant-
ages. Unfurnished rooms, 25c; furnished
rooms, soc; cook hire, 25c. Board in club
at exact cost. Tuition one dollar per
week, no contingent fee, no library fee,
no ianitor fee, absolutely no extra
charges.
No students are employed as teachers.
Only the most experienced instructors
are engaged, some of whom have spent
several years in a training school for
teachers, that they might not only have
the knowledge, but the power to impart
to others.
Hopedale College has the only Gymna-
SUM in Eastern Ohio. Hopedale College
has valuable museum to which will be
added, this fall, valuable collection of
minerals, a collection of casts of prehis-
toric implements, and collection of sea
invertebrates. The College has no debt,
therefore can and does give a education
at exact cost or less. Glasses are not al
lowed to be too large, a sufficient number
of instructors are employed.
Many States are represented, and it is
expected from the number enrolled, that
the attendance will be more than one
hundred over last year. To convince
students of the above: facts, free tuition
is given to all for the first six weeks of
the fall term--tuition will be charged for
music and art only.
Upon notification, free transportation
will be given from the railway station,
for the first ten days in September.

The Asylum.

A petition was circulated in this coun-
ty last week and received many sigma
lures, asking the committee on location
of the new insane asylum to locate the
institution at Steubenville. Since the
committee has chosen to shut Belmont
county entirely out from the contest for
a site, it is but natural that the citizens
of Belmont should prefer to have our
sister county of Jefferson win the prize
Aside from our good feeling for Steuben-
vile, the location of the institution at
that place would be much easier of ac-
cess for us than any other point contem-
plated. Alliance and MassillOn are the
chief competitors of Steubenville, yet
neither can afford as healthful site as
the latter

of immense proportions, in which every
true loyal Republican should feel proud
to participate. There will be beyond
question, from 10000 to to 25,OOO people
present, and they will come from all sec
tions of the State, while there was never
before such brilliant and matchlesS ar
ay of talent gathered together at one
time as will address the assemblage.
