MANY sLEIaHING PARTIES.
Several Of Them Have Very Rard Luck
Last Night.


Last Night.
No night for years has been so cold as
last night, nor has any been 80 prolific of
sleighing parties. Early in the evening
bobs were seen scurrying about town
gathering up recruits on every street and
few sleds we're not in use. There were
some who had royal times while others
who had not such good luck are busy to-
day bandaging up frozen ears, etc. One
of the parties who had the hardest time of
it was an aggregation of about two dozen
OF Canton young people who started for
Massillon. They wished to reach there in
a hurry and so offered the driver an extra
fee il he would hustle the horses. He did
so and they pulled the tongue out of the
sled when the crowd were out about two
miles from Canton. The sport for that
night was at an end and all hands were
compelled to pile out and walk home.
The young ladies of the party were nearly
frozen to death before reaching town.
Another squad of about twenty-five
went to Canal Fulton. They lost the way
going over and nearly froze. Six of the
party suffered so they returned on the
cars. The balance wished they had for
they we're too cold for utterance when
they reached Canton about 8 o'clock this
morning.
A pleasant crowd of thirteen Massil-
lonians came over and were entertained
at the residence of Miss Rosa Feicht, cor
ner High and Eighth streets. Adelightful
social time was topped off with an oyster
supper and everybody expressed them
selves as well pleased with the event.
Those comprising the sled load were Miss
es Flo Volkmor, Klttie Flynn, Alice G
Boener, Maggie M. Kressler, Loll Lomady
aud Messrs j. Whitman, Geo. Early,
Louis Pile, Joseph Bauhart, William
Bauhart, Vane Roger and Ed Clemens.
A Canton party of twenty-five went to
Massillon and had charming time al
the home of the Misses Leighley on Pros
pect street. They returned home about
3 o'clock and have been thawing out ever
since.

QUAY's PACKED JURY

Believe Him to be a Man Honor and In
tsGrity---No Democrat Allowed on tho
Jury.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 20.-[Special. AFTER
twenty minutes out the jury in the libel
suit brought by Matt Quay against the
Beaver Democrat for libel, brought in a
verdict of guilty. The penalty is fine or
imprisonment or both. The libel was for
publishing plate matter, headed "Quay,
Too, Was Ia It." in connection with the
deficiency in the Keystone Bank of Phil
adelphia and not on prior charges, to
which no attention has been paid. In
summing up the defense, Mr.. Daugherty
referred to the rejection of the Democratic
jurors and claimed the jury was packed.
The publication was near the close of a
heated campaign, and insisted, whether
true or false, the papers had a right to
publish them as q matter of public inter
est, If not malicious. Near the close he
said, referring to the fact that every Dem
ocrat was challenged Of the jury. "lfany
man should say that jury was ever be-
fore,selected as this one has been, he would
be branded as liar.n
"Then say it," retorted Mr.. Buchanan
for the prosecution.
~ do say it,"
"Then he 10 liar" exclaimed Attor'
neys Buchanan and Martin in chorus.
The Judge here interfered and restored
order.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 2O-Colonel Picott
Nelson, who claimed to be the tallest
man on earth, died here. He had
been i'll for three weeks with typhoid
fever, His body measures feet
inches in length In life he claimed s
feet inch tall and to weigh 3S7 pounds.
1t was alleged at his late home that
after death his frame relaxed and be-
came four inches longer than it had
been. Nelson was n colored man and
was born in 1861. Both his parents
were rather smaller than the average.
The boy did not begin to develop un-
usual height until he was about 12 years
old. Thereafter the boy seemed to grow
by jumps and when 90 years of age
was as tall as at the time of his death.
He was broad, too. and with his arms
Outstretched he is said to have vertic-
ally measured feet from the tips of his
fingers of his right hand to those of his
left. Nelson's remains will be taken to
Essex county, Va, for burial. A part
of the front of the house will have to
be torn out to remove the body, as the
doors and windows are too small to
permit of the removal of the coffin.

And the Widow of the Late Jacob
Miller.
Tho Ceremony Performed in Wash
ingtOn at High Noon.
An Effort Made to Keep the Affair
Quiet.
Mr.. Chance Will Mske Washington His
Future Home.-News That will Be Read
With Great Interest.

Word is received in Canton today that
Norman Chance of the firm Of Chance q
Rose and Mrs. Jacob Miller formerly OF
Canton, were married at high noon today
in Washington, ID. c.
The announcement will be received
with great surprise in certain quarters
here while many will say, ~ told you So"
Rumors OF the approaching marriage have
been afloat for many months, but nothing
definite could be learned. Quite frequent
ly Mr.. Chance made trips to Washington
and this gave the gossips food for reflec-
tion.
On Monday last Mr.. Chance left Canton
and IL was stated that he would return
Wednesday morning. He did not appear
and yesterday the information was receiv-
ed by the eNEws.DEMoCRAT that at noon
today he would wed the widow Of the late
Mr.. Jacob Miller.
A NEws-DEMocRAT reporter was dis.
patched to ascertain the facts in the case.
A call was made at the store and the in.
formation given that Me- Chance was in
Cleveland, and would return to-day. A
reporter then visited the residence OF Mr..
Peter Chance, father of the would.be-
bridegroom, in North Cleveland avenue.
A sister of Mr.. Norman Chance was
seen and stated that the NEws.DEMoCRAT
had no authority TO make such an an
nouncement. While positive that the in.
formation received was correct, the
NEws.DEMoCRAT out of respect for the
parties interested, declined to publish the
fact, in the face of their denial.
To-day the positive Information is re-
ceived that they we're married at high
noon in Washington. Mr.. Wade
Chance, brother of the groom, was in
attendance. The wedding was very
quiet one, and it is extremely difficult to
obtain any particulars regarding the
affair.
Mr.. Chance will still retain his interest
in the firm of Chance & Rose, but will re-
side in Washington. The bride and groom
will ltake trip of two weeks duration and
then return to Washington.
The bride was formerly Miss Alice New
ton, a school teacher in the Union School.
She married the late Jacob Miller, and
shortly after his death went to Washing
ton to reside. Mrs. Miller. or rather Mrs.
Norman Chance, is very wealthy. 1t is
impossible to state exactly what her
wealth amounts to, but some place it as
high as S1,OOO,OOO.
Miss Alice Newton was married to Mr..
Jacob Miller some nine years ago. Mr..
Miller died August %, 1885, Before her
marriage Miss Newton lived with an aunt
Mrs. Charles Strohn. 1t is stated that be.
fore her marriage to Mr.. Miller, Miss New.
ton and &r. Norman Chance were we'll
acquainted and very good friends.

The House Votes Down a ELL to Save
OO,OOO-PubIic Buildings Bills.
WAsHNGTON, Jan. 2O.-The senate,
with an average attendance of not more
than twenty-five members during the
greater part of the day, discussed the
La Abra claim till adjournment. Dur
ing the morning hour public building
bills which went through the senate
last year but failed to pass the house
were passed by the senate, appropriating
$SO0OO Among these were the bills
appropriating 100000 each for public
buildings at Mansfield and GAINESVILLE, o.
In the house the bill to regulate the
public printing came up rs unfinished
business, and after being attacked by
Messrs. O'Neill, Chipman, Bankhead
and others, and defended by Mr.. Rich
ardson, it was laid on the table by a
vote of 1876 to 102, thus killing the meas
ure in this congress. Mr. Richardson
said a rough estimate fixed upon as
800, 0O0 or $780, as the amount that
would be saved by the bill. Mr..
Springer then moved to adjourn, but
his mo ton was defeated only to be car
ried when made by Mr. McCreary, of
Kentucky, five minutes later. Mr..
Springer's failure to leave the house the
way he wanted it TO go excited much
meTriment.
