The Snyder-Albright Case Will
Not Come Up
On Account of the Absence of
Il. NJ. Merrill,
AN IMPORTANT WITNESS WHOM IT is
ALLEGED
Has Seen Clandestine Meetings
Between Banker Albright
AND MRS. SNYDER THE WIFE OF THE
PLAINTIFF.

The Confession of Albright Still in the
Hands of Attorney Baldwin--The Pro-
oeedings of Today.
The trial OF the famous Snyder Albright
case was commenced this morning at
10 80 o'clock in Court Room No. 2, before
Judge Taylor. The case is exciting great
Interest on account of the large amount
involved and the sensational features
promised.
As is we'll known +. Edward Snyder
commenced suit asking to recover $4,000
on promisory note alleged to have been
given by Peter G. Albright at ten days
sight, All of the parties in the case reside
in Massillon, but are well.known in Can
ton, Mr.. Snyder is timer while Mr..
Albright is a prominent banker. The
petition fled in common pleas court was
very brief, simply asking for judgment OIL
the promisory note in the sum named.
The case has been set for trial number
of times, but each time has been post
poned for different reasons.
II is expected there will be many sensa-
tional developments during the trial. 1t
is openly charged here that it will be

THE following from reliable ex-
change shows how the triplets, protec-
ton, Trusts and Public Robbery are
jogging along together and all getting
rich:
"The sugar trust has now taken the
full advantage given it by the Mckinley
bill, having bought off the opposition
of Claus Spreckles. by cutting the
price of sugar, which none but re6ners
use, and by raising the price of refined
sugar, which everyone uses, the trust
will net about S25OOOOO0 to S30OO0OO0
more than it has been making. The
sugar trust will give up plenty of
money for the Republican corruption
fund this year."

present and had long consultation with
Attorney Baldwin.
Many experts will be called during the
trial to identify the signature of Banker
Albright. Those who have seen II, say
they are positive the note was signed by
Albright. The plaintiff has two experts
from Chicago in attendance, who will
testify in the case. There is great inter.
est In tine trial and at the opening of court
this afternoon the room will be crowded.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Court opened this afternoon at :3O
o'clock. Judge Taylor stated that he un'
derstood the plaintiff was preparing a
written motion for continuance and
nothing could be done until IL was pre-.
sented. Judge Day spoke up and said he
should oppose anything Of that kind.
Nothing was done a, 3 O'clock as Attor.
ney Baldwin did not nppear with his mo
ton for a continuance. At this hour Judge
Taylor became tired OF waiting and in
structed the sheriff to call Mr.. Baldwin.
The attorney soon put in an appearance
and submitted his motion to Judge Day
who commenced an examination of same.
REASON FOR A CONTINUANCE.
1t is learned the reason a continuance
is asked for is on account of the absence
of E. NJ. Merrill of Massillon, whom it is
alleged, left when he heard he
was to be subpoenaed and that
he is very important witness.
It is claimed in the affidavit
that Merrill watched Mrs. Snyder on
many occasions and saw her go to Al
bright's house. After she entered, the
door would be closed by Albright, the
curtains pulled down and the house dark
ened. When she came out Albright would
come to the door and look up and down
to see il anyone was watching her. Witness
had also seen Albright go TO Mrs, Snyder's
home on many occasions.
1t is learned that George E. Baldwin
still has the alleged confession of Mr..
Albright in which he admits he was inti-
mate With Mrs. Snyder and gave the note
on account of this alleged intimacy,
Attorney Baldwin urged the court to
pass the case until Merrill could be found.
He said they had used all diligence to get
the witness and did not suppose he would
leave Massillon. The witness went away
without telling his family where he in.
tended to 20.
Judge Day opposed the passing of the
case.
Judge Taylor in deciding said he thought
the plaintiff had used due diligence in try
ing to get the witness. He was of the
opinion that witness should be punished
for not appearing and said the case would
have to be tried IL it remained on the
docket.
As the NEWS DEMOCRAT went to press
Judge Taylor granted postponement of
the trial until Monday next at o'clock.

on account of the relations existing be-

THE enormous increase of local in
debtedness created by the present legis-
lature is creating much alarm through
out the state. The Cincinnati Times
Star, one of the leading Republican
organs of Ohio, in labored editorial
:-."Ohio since the previous census
has contracted heavier debt of this
kind than any other state in the union.
In 1880 the aggregate municipal debt in
Ohio was S3S,6OG,6OG. The total for
1890 is S52 ,SSS 263, an increase of S14,-
PSI ,651, or over thirty-seven per cent
This is plunging into debt ruinously, a
regular rake's progress. If it is not
arrested the end will be speedy and
disastrous"

to either Cleveland or Hill at this time,

Subj lMEST ANCIENT POEM.
The Book Of yob Towers Like a Loft
Mountain Peak.

The Book Of yob Towers Like Lofty
Mountain Peak.
The sublimest poem of antiquity Is
inpersonal, yet written in the Hebrew
tongue, writes E. G. Stedman in the
Century. The book of Job, the life
drama of the man of Uz, towers with
no peak near it; its authorship lost, but
its fable associated in mind with the
post Noachian age, the time when God
eiiscOursed with men and the stars hung
low in the empyrean. 1t is both epic
and dramatic, yet embodies the whole
wisdom of the. patriarchal race. Who
composed it.? Who carved the sphinx,
or set the angles of the pyramids2 The
shadow of his name was taken, lest he
should fall by pride, like Eblis. The
Narrative prelude to Job has the direct
epic simpliclty-a Cyclopean porch
20 the temple, but within
are heaven, the angels, the plumed lord
OF evil, before the throne Of judicial
God. The personages Of the dialogue
beyond are firmly distinguished. Eli
phaz, Bildad, Jophar, Elihu-to whom
