much Ado ABOUT Noth1nr

eld was all torn up''kwith excitement
last Saturday night, over the capture of a sup
posed {" horse thief" In the early evening Of
that day gentlemanly appearing young man
rode large, but somewhat tired looking horse
up to the hotel and asked for accommodations
for the night. There being no men about the
place, he was allowed to put his horse in the
barn. When the landlord returned he at once
noticed the jaded steed, and concluded" that
the hors had been stolen and "a rode to DEATH =,
Having jumped long jump to reach this COM
clusion. he called in friend after friend to look
at the animal, and with the unerring judgment
of country cow doctor. the value of the ami
NAL was placed at from 60 cents to IS, with al
most certainty that he would be !" dead hoss''
before morning. The rider was questioned.
and told them in a gentlemanly manner that
+" jerry was tired, and needed nothing but q
nights rest. as he was green horse and had
just completed his first two days work this
spring. That the horse belonged to 8 gentle
man in Pittsburgh and was on the road to q
friends. in Ravenna, and produced his letter OF
introduction and instructions. to substantiate
his statements. and positively forbade their
exhibiting their veterinary skill upon the horse
while in his charge. He then retired for the
night. but along about midnight he was aroused
and informed that he was prisoner. AS he
had not claimed the horse was his. a charge Of
horse stealing or of suspicion was likely tc
react. but the horse was tired. SO warrant fol
arrest on a charge Of 81 cruelty" was resorted
to. and a hearing was had which was adjourned
until 8 O'Clock q m, while the prosecuting
witness drove to Ravenna : to.see about it," HS
came. he saw. and he was not particularly anx.
ious to get home in time to appear at the trial.
The prisoner was discharged and mounting the
horse came quietly to Ravenna. Our Deerfelt
friend may know all that is to be known abou
horses. but when he had Geo. Heline arrested
he showed remarkably poor judgment of men
AS; for the horse. we will say to the sympa
thizing people of Deerfeld. that he lives. anC
moves. and is none the worse for having com'
| a two days journey in two days.

Last Wednesday evening, about $3.50. Mrs
Clarence Shook was returning ito her home in
Randolph. after taking her sister to Hiram
College. and as she was nearing the G. & p.
crossing south of town her horse became fright
ened at a train approaching from the rear. and
in moment became unmanageable. The high.
way and railroad run along almost parallel for
some distance at this place. making it particu.
larly bad for people driving nervous horses
The animal broke int furious run, and would
ave plunged headlong into tho train, which
had reached the crossing in the meantime, had
1t not been for the presence of mind of Mrs.
Shook. who turned the animal toward the en-.
trance gate of Mr.. .Skeels' place. within q few
feet of the track. In passing through the gate.
way one of the wheels struck the post with ter
rible force. throwing Mrs. Shook fully twelve
feet. .Sne landed on her face and stomach.
Robert sapp. who was driving some dist ance
behind. witnessed the runway and its awful
termination, and immediately went to her
assistance. She was carried into Mr.. SIX ee Is
house. where she lay in an unconscious state
for upward of four hours. DIR. W. w. White
was summoned and found that the. unfort un ate
lady had sustained conclusion of the brain
After regaining partial consciousness she raj
lied very slowly to an appreciation of what had
happened. but eventually recovered sufficiently
to admit Of her being taken to her home in
Randolph. It is not thought her injuries will
be of permanent character.
just about one hour preceding this terrible
accident Hiram Prindle .and his mother. who
reside in Rootstown, were driving along the
same part OF the same highway. when their
hsrse took fright from the same cause. and ran
away, demolishing oneof the buggy wheels but
fortunately lnjuring neither or the occupants
This crossing is one which people should be
very careful In approaching and passing over
There have been more accidents here than al
any other in the county. and q team being run
into Mr.. Skeels' place to escape train is an
| every day occurrence.

Mrs. James B. Jewell died at her home on
North Prospect street, at 10: 40 a. m. Friday i,
June and, 1893. after lingering illness, of con-
sumption.
During the hist few weeks of her life she failed
very rapidly and resignedly awaited the sum-
mons which she knew must come at an early
day, to call her to the heaven of her faith and
reward. The end came peacefully, the sleep OF
death gently releasing the spirit of the beloved
wife and mother, who, conscious that her life's
work was done, was ready for her Masters
voice.
Adelaide S. Excell daughter of Benjamin and
Maria Ann Excel, was lborn in London. Eng
land. September 80, 1890. When years oi
age she came with her fathers family to Deer
field, O., where she was reared to womanhood, d,
and where. on October 25th, 1880. she was mar
ried to James B. Jewell, who survives her. She
was the mother of seven children, two of whom
died in infancy Of the remaining FIVE, Mrs. O.
S. Philpott, w. F. and Miss Rose Jewell reside
in Ravenna, James B., in Wheeling, and Chas
S., in Meadville.
In early life Mrs. Jewell united with the
Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she con
tinued an earnest, consistent member up to hel
death. She was woman of earnest, quiet dis
position, who never neglected duty or slghted
the work she found to do. Her deeds and vir
tues were essentially domestic, for she belonged
to the noble type sof womanhood who bring tc
the altar the. sweetest, richest offering of thei
sex-a life consecrated to home and family.
Her funeral was held Monday. at p. m.
from the house, the services being conducted by
Rev. H. D. Stauffer. her Pastor, assisted b,
Rev. John Tribby. an old friend and neighbor
Her three sons and grandson, Frank Philpott
tenderly bore the form of the beloved mothe
from the home which had been blessed by he
presence to the funeral car which conveyed it t.
its last resting place in Maple Glove Cemetery

Rev. S. w. Meek spoke to a large congrega-
ton Sunday morning, on the subject OF the
Briggs heresy trial. The Reverend gentleman
first gave an account of the formation of the
Westminster Confession in London, in 1913,
He then acquainted his hearers with the sub
stance of DR.. Briggs famous inaugural address
on tbe occasion of his Induction into the Pro-
fessorship of Biblical Theology in Union Theo-
logical Seminary, New York City. January 2othl
1891. In that addeess DR.. Briggs takes the po-
sition that the Bible is not entirely free from
human error and that the true sources of Divine
authority are, 1st. the Bible; and. the Church
3rd, the Reason.
The speaker said that the views for which DR.,
Briggs has been suspended will probably prevail
in the Church of the near future. The Presby-
| terian General Assembly has done the best thing
it could to advertise these views and cause them
to prevail. Second, that the Presbyterian Church
/ is none the purer or stronger for having sus-
pended DR.. Briggs. Was the Church of Eng
land any the better for pushing the Wesley's out
of its ministry Were our New England
Churches benefited in any way by banishing
Roger Williams or deposing Jonathan Edwards
from his Northampton pulpit Was the
Presbyterian Church benefited by suspending
DR.. Albert Barnes for entertaining views on the
atonement somewhat different from those COM
monty held in the Philadelphia Presbytery7 AL
these and the case of DR.. Briggs, are ful6llments
of Christs saying, 1.-THE fathers stoned the
prophets and the children garnish their sepul-
chers.
The sermon was listened to with profound
attention by the assembled worshippers. and that
it awoke deep responses of accord and fell on
many sympathetic ears was very manifest at the
close of the services. in the warm expressions oi
endorsement heard on every hand.
