KILLED AT MASSILLoN.
An Early Morning Train on the Ft.

Particulars

An Early Morning Train on the Ft.
Wayne Does the Deadly work--.The
Particulars.
At an early hour this morning the badly
mutllated remains Of an unknown man
we're found in Msssllon, along the Ft.
Wayne road near the Main street crossing.
Coroner Openhimer was notified and
shortly after o'clock this morning left
for the scene of the accident.
Before he arrived the remains had been
taken to the Ft Wayne freight house by
Constable Shepley. The body was viewed
| by the coroner and found to be In very
| bad shape. The skull was fractured, the
| right arm broken, the left arm severed,
the left leg severed at the knee and the
right leg at the foot.
The deceased was a we'll built, man ap-
parently about 35 years of age. He had
| dark brown hair, light brown eyes and a
dark brown mustache. He was dressed
in black and on bis person was found Sc 80
in money, a small old fashioned revolver,
G. L & W. switch key and several other
keys used by railroad men, There was
| nothing by which he could be identified.
Several railroad men viewed the remains
but none of them knew him.
1t was thought he might possibly be a
railroad man and Louis Wagner saloon
keeper along the @. L, & w. tracks was
OF the opinion the man had been in his
place last night with rolling mill man
named Charles Jones. 1t was afterwards
learned from Jones that he was not the
same man. The body was taken to the
morgue where it awaits Identification.
A boy who calls the men for an early G.
L. & w. train discovered the body about4
o'clock this morning. The remains were
near the bridge and it is supposed he was
struck by west bound train. One leg was
found fully fifty feet east and 1t is thought
this was carried back by an east bound
train. 1t Is possible that the man was
killed by the west bound limited express
which passes Massillon shortly after mid.
night.
The might operator at the q. L. & W.
depot identifies the dead man as the per
son who called at the telegraph Office last
night about II o'clock and asked the way
to the Ft. Wayne depot. He does not
know the man and is positive he never
saw him before.
Coroner Openhimer will hold an inquest
Thursday afternoon.
THE IDENTIFICATION.
Since the above was written it has been
discovered that the man is James II.
Harper of Unrichsville, Tuscarawas
county. In one of his pockets was found
card of Identification giving his name
and residence. He has wife and family
at that place. Mrs. Harper has been no.

Peter Miller, q rather well-to-do farmer
and cheese maker who resides about three
miles east OF Louisville has gotten him
self into a bad difficulty. Peter is a
bachelor of some forty odd summers, and
a couple of years ago he began to feel the
force OF that portion OF the scriptural
philosophy which believes that IL is not
good for man TO be alone.
Accordingly he began 10 survey the
field with an eye single TO the purpose of
matrimony and ere long his attention was
directed TO one Barbara A. Lichty, q
window living near Paris, and long since
past the sentimental stage OF life, After
due weighing OF the arguments pro and
con Peter concluded that she was meant
for him so he popped the question and
was accepted some time In September Of
1890. All went along merrily now. Peter
called frequently at the Lichiy home and

began to wonder whether after oil, single
blessedness were not preferable. Indeed
when the time set for the marriage had
come he bad made up his mind that
he did not want'to get married and when
the widow importuned him to have the
knot tied he absolutely backed out.
Now Mrs. Lichty was sorely grieved.
Her heart strings we're torn and her soul
racked with contention and emotion, but
what could she do. Peter persisted in
his refusal to keep his promise aud make

away.
The posse returned with Bonafield,
and at a signal agreed upon Floyd was
surrounded and was ordered by the
sheriff to surrender and to hand out his
pistol. The officer told Floyd that he
had plenty of armed men and resistance
was useless. This was about l1:30

A RECEIVING VAULT.

Tho Periodical Agitation of the Subj sct
Beginning Again.
"Mr. Reporter" said we'll known citi-
zen this morning, "how about receiving
vault at the cemetery? 1t seems to me
Canton's city of the dead ought to have bad
one OF these constructed long ago.n The
question Of receiving vault for Westlawn
was agitated some ten years ago. At that
time Cleveland architect drew up the
plans and submitted them to the Cemetery
Association for inspection, but they were
not accepted. The plan was to build a
chapel with the vault underneath. Akron,s
sepulcbral city contains one of these
chapels with vault built below. The
general impression at that time was, that
contagion might result IL the collected
gases within the coffin should explode 1t
and the obnoxious smell permeate the
building above. The universally settled
plan 10, that the vault should be built sep
arate from the chapel. A scribe interviewed
various of our doctors and other men who
might know something about the matter
and they all thought Canton should have
a aproperly constructed vault at all hazards.
The cost would be from $500 to $500.

show the effects of their restlessness and
dissatisfaction in falling off of condi-
ton. The experienced shepherd, there
fore, provides for this necessity by di-
viding the pasture by means of portable
fences, or removing the flock to another
field, where in few days they begin to
show a desire to return to the former
pasture. Hurdling sheep is most large

area restricted. Henry Stewart de-

plan. He says:

A DIVIDED FIELD.

the north side of fields for the purpose
Of getting a supply of these poles, and
by planting closely it will be only few
years before the poles will be large
enough for use. The shelter thus af-
forded by the groves is also most val
vable to any sheep farm as well as for
any other, and the cost is a mere tride.
When soiling is practiced, only small
lots are required, and such crops as
rape, oats and peas, white mustard, tur-
nips, clover-and in the souSh, COW peas,
scarlet clover-or fodder corn anywhere,
may be grown for the flock. But for
the sake of the health of the flock these
small lots must be frequently changed,
and plowed and sown with any one Of
these crops for pasture, as long as it
may last. By such a method of feeding,
a flock may be made an accessory to
any kind Of farming, especially on n
dairy farm, whore the sheep will follow
the cows and gladly pick up what they
have left. For the rearing of early
lambs, this method Of soiling the ewes
will be found great economy, and all
the more as this pursuit is necessarily
carried on in localities where land is of
high value.
