PROMINENT CLEVELAND AND CANTON
CITIZENS FEAST AT The HURFoRD


best Financial and industrial interests Of
the city of Cleveland we're represented in
Canton Tuesday evening by party OF
about seventy citizens from the former
place. The party arrived here over the
Cleveland, Canton & Southern road about
4:3) o'clock, in the most elegant, comfort
able, convenient and complete train that
ever carried passengers. The journey
was arranged primarily for the purpose of
letting the prominent business men of
Cleveland try the new Krehbiel palace
car, allowing them TO zee its sconveniences
| and comforts and there was not one In
the whole party who did not vote that the
new style Of coaches far surpassed any
thing ever before put upon wheels.
The party wac met at the depot by
committee from the Board OF Trade and
| all hands then repaired to the Hurford
house where grand banquet was prepar-
| ed TO the order of the Krehbel car COM
psny. Nearly ono hundred guests from
| Cleveland and this city sat down to the
tables and when all had toasted TO com
| plete satisfaction upon the coed things
prepared, Mr.. ]. J. Sullivan, a prominent
| banker of Cleveland, arose and made a
brief address explaining why the visitors
we're here. In his capacity as toast masts
er he then called upon Mayor Blake, who
spoke ia bis most elc quent vein, wclcom>
ing the guests TO our city in a most hearty
manner.
Mayor W. G. Rose Of Cleveland, was
then called to his feet and Mt the couclu-
sion Of his address Dr. j. KrehbsI, the in
vsntor of the new car was asked to ex.
plain what bis improvements embraced.
| He did 80 in a clear manner, succeeding
| which Hon. ]. A. Kpshler of Akron, made
a bright and sparkling address of few
| minutes length.
The bauquetters then extended vote
of thanks to tho projectors Of the pleas
ures of the evening and all repaired to the
G. c. & S. depot where they were shown
the train and had it's important features
explained by Mr.. w. N. Brewer the man.
! ager of the expt di ion. Mr.. Brewer and
all Of the gentlemen connected with the
car company, as well as the Cleveland
| guests are wide-uwake, active and ener.
getc bushes men of high standing both
in the industrial and social world and no
| greater compliment could have been paid
| to this city and her people than was paid
when, Of all cities connected by railroad
| with Cleveland, she was selected as the
place TO which q run should be made for
the purpose Of showing the best men of
tho Forest City flue train and having a
| pleasant and profitable time. The new
Krehbiel car Is certainly marvel of inc
| genuity and is the most complete palace
and sleeping coach ever produced. No
short newspaper account could begin to
do il justice. Ia the train here last even
| ing there were three coaches and all we're
| connected in such a manner that no one
not initiated into the secrets OF the man
ncr Of construction could tell where they
came together. The ves;ibule is oue of
the finest things ever seen and the cars in
all their appointments are marvels of
beauty and convenience.
The train here last evening was the first
one every built and the trip here was
feature of business concerning in
the negotiations for a site for
the erection Of shops to carry on the work
of building the cars. The industry prom
ises to be one of the largest in the world
in the course of year or two and several
cities want the shops. st. Paul has made
a coed bid for the works, Chicago wants
them and will, pay we'll to get them, In
dianapolis is also in the race but the COM
pany prefer Cleveland and If suitable
inducements will be offered the new works
will probably be located there.
Dr.. Rreihbiel, the inventor of the cars,
was formerly practicing physician in
| nrf p.In IL
years ago, however, and began the man
uTacture OF machines for making capsules
From this he turned his attention to in
ventions slong the line of palace cars and
the result Ia, after seven years of contin-
uous effort, a car has been produced thai
challenges the admiration of the world
Two years ago he began taking out pat
ents and all of the important features oi
, Improvement are fully covered.
: A NEws.DEMoCRAT reporter had very
pleasant interview with DR.. Krehbiel II
which he explained the principles OF con
struction used in his cars and talked in
very interesting manner. The reporte
T. also talked with several of the prominen
gentlemen from Cleveland who were II
t the party and all seemed to delight will
a Their experience in riding in the new cars
0 The Canton people who saw them al
: were completely captured by the nev
Z plans as embodied in the train shown her
s and as the railroad people all seen
. to look with great favor upon tn
a improved style of the coach, the chance
v for q rich harvest for the company own
i ing the stock are good. Cleveland vii
