GARRETTsvILLE

The Juniors of the High school gave their
annual entertainment at the Opera House last
Wednesday evening before a good sized and
appreciatiVe audience.
The death of W. w. Mccall of Nelson was
surprise to our people. as was the death Of
William Stephens of Hiram.
Our School Board have engaged Fred Hart of
Freedom. a graduate of our High school and
for the past few years teacher at Parkman.
to teach the second Grammar for the ensuing
year. 1t has also employed Principal Taft for
another year at a largely increased salary.
Our assessor proposes to see whether it is q
proper thing for man to vote in. and consider
himself citizen of Garrettsville, have the ben-
eht OF its fire protection and other privileges,
and yet assess his personality in an adjoining
township, and it is to be presumed for no OF her
reason than because the rate is less.
The fruit prospect at this time is first class.
it remains to be seen whether our fruit sur.

the last of May, and the first of June.
Doctor Miller and councilman Mott went
fishing the other day at Brady's lake, the wind
blew SO hard that it is said they both were too
badly frightened to fish much; they did howe
eVerI manage on their way down to the lake, to
capture good sized carp, which was out pros .
pecting in an old farmers meadow.
There seems to be feeling that it is the still
sly fellow that gets the Garrettsyille post Office
this time. If Cleveland will appoint as good
one as we now have. there will be no complaint
The passenger trains have not as yet been
crowded with Garrettsvillians on their way to
the Worlds fair, the men are waiting for tn at
sunny time when they can wear there nankeen
pantaloons.
Cash Crane when out in his garden prospect
ing for potatoe bugs the other day found that
long lost bung hole to the cider barrel which
he SO thoroughly cleansed with pint of gaso-
line some TWO or three years ago; he has now
one head two hoops. and the bung hole. and
hopes in time to find the rest of it; if any Of
the citizens of this or adjoining counties have
in their possession any part of this barrel, they
will confer on him a favor by returning it to

Assignment of Crane Brothers.

Monday afternoon at Ago o'clock deed of
assignment was filed in the Probate Court by
F. E. P. Crane, who constituted the firm of
rettsvllle, for many years the leading business
house of that place. The assignee is Arthur E.
Crane, of Garrettsville, brother, who retired
from the firm several years ago. The liabilities
are estimated at about $4,000, and the proba-
BILE assets have been returned at $4,000. The
figures. however, may vary materially when the
actual inventory is completed.
In addition to the store at Garrettsville, the
brothers were interested in store at Ashtabula
Harbor, and it is to this fact that the assignment
is due.
Some two or three years ago,one Reese John
n,who for many years was a valued and trust
ed clerk for Crane Brothers in Garrettsville went
to the Harbor and opened a dry goods store.
AS the prospects seemed f1attering in that place,
the two Cranes invested about $1,000 in the
new enterprise, with Johnson, to whom the en-
tire management of its affairs was entrusted.
This firm was known the Crane Brothers
Company. The Brothers have known for some
time that considerable Indebtedness was hang
ing over the Harbor store. but had no idea that
the total obligations exceeded So 900. Even
within a few weeks they put another 81, 900 into
the concern, the representations being such as
promised excellent results later on. Their sur
prise can be imagined, on learning that the in
debtedness of the Harbor Store will probably
exceed $4,000. The Garrettsville house was
unembarrassed, and was in the best kind of
finances, credit and trade, as we understand it,
and the failure is due entirely to their unfortu-
nate Harbor investment, and the still more un-
fortunate fact of their not acquainting them
selves with the true state of affairs long months
ago. A. E. Crane, the assignee, has furnished
S25 900 bond, with o. C. Risdon and County
Treasurer ]. H. Evans, of Ravenna, and C. M .
Crane, E. C. Smith and James Norton, of Gar
rettsville, as sureties.
The assignment was great surprise to busi-
ness men and the public generally, and caused
no end of talk in business and financial circles.
They were populariy supposed to be one of the
soundest business houses in Portage County!

OBITUARY ".

MRS. Lucy ]. SEYMOUR, wife of Judge Gid
home Saturday evening, May 9th, 1893, from
Repatriation of the lungs. was born at Ellsworth,
Mahoning county, Ohio. July 12th. 1885, and
was the youngest of five sisters, with a brother
older and one younger than she-the seven be-
ing the children of F. A. and Mary Parker, who
lived in Ellsworth till the Spring of 1857, when
they moved to Newton Falls, where they passed
the remainder of their lives.
In her earlier years Mrs. Seymour was very
good scholar, attending school at the Ellsworth
Academy, which was then a school of excellent
report; and she also went to the Hiram College,
which though then younger than now. ranked
high among the educational institutions of the
country.
She was also an excellent singer. and always
enjoyed music, and took part in its performance
whenever she could.
She commenced teaching school when quite
young, and continued to teach till she was mar
ried. On the 15th of September. 1859. she was
married to Gideon Seymour, and then her own
home life begun.
She spared no effort and lost no opportunity
to make their home cheerful and happy.
She was universally esteemed, and will be
much missed in all those circles where she NOV.
ed, for while her first care was for her family
she left undone none of the duties she thought
she owed to the society where she lived, but ir
the church, in the social circle, and in the neigh
borhood, she was known and loved for hel
bright and cheerful disposition, which was evel
manifest in spite of the poor health which wa
her lot a considerable part of her life.
Her entire married life was spent in Roots
town excepting little more than eight year
which they lived in Ravenna, while Mr.. Sey
mour was in the Probate Office there.
Although she had been afflicted with severa
different diseases during her lifetime, and hac
suffered much from the ills which flesh is hei
to, her death was not anticipated but verl
short time before it came. She supposed sh'
had taken cold, and cough and shortness o
breath were the result, and it was not till afte
her disease had too firm grip to be shaken OF
that its real nature was known.
Hers was the first death in the family of sever
children. and her four sisters were all presen
and assisted in caring for her during her las
hours.
Her funeral was attended from the famil.
home. Wednesday, May 10th. Rev. S.W. Meel

DID BE ATTEMPT TO ROB
A Negro Gang Boss Attacked with
Club.

Thomas Hayes, who is a gang boss on
the steamer line at the Central wharf,
swore out a warrant in Justice McDer-
motifs court yesterday, charging Cuhey
Butler with an attempt to rob him last
Saturday night.
Hayes hires any man whom he wishes
to work in his gang, and three weeks ago,
according to his story, took Butler on.
There was not very much business going
on just then, and consequently the gangs
did not make much money, and Hayes
borrowed 50 from Mr.. Martin Haar, the
grocer, lending it TO Butler, who agreed
to pay him % cents interest The second
week however, business was even worse,
and Butler only worked two days, in
which time he earned S3.35. When Satur-
day came as is the custom, Hayes says
he deducted 81 and twenty-five cents in-
terest, giving Butler Sl.10, all that was
due him. Butler worked all last week
and apparently was perfectly satisfied.
Saturday night, however, he told several
parties that Hayes had got the best of
him in money matters, and that he in
tended to tell him that some money was
still due him aad he wanted it, As Hayes
was on his way to work about 10 80
O'Clock he met Butler, who told him that
he wanted his money. Hayes says he
told the man that there was nothing due
him and that he had bettor 20 on about
his business. He says that Butler then
struck him with a club, knocking him
against the wall of the brewery. He
shouted for an officer and Butler ran
away. Hayes says he is satisfied that
Butler intended to beat him and then
rifle his pockets. Butler has not yet been

Editor Of the Morning News: I have

article you published this morning in
reference to the sanitary condition of the
city as stated by DIR. LeHardy You say
he has been north, east and west, l pre-
sumo meaning HutchinsOn's Island. If
such is the case, he has not been seen by
any of my ioremen, and it is my honest
conviction that my venerable friend
would hardly be able to make the circuit
Of yhs island under the hot sun, let alone
go east and west as stated in your paper
1t Is to be regretted that we had not
the services OF the county engineer,
whose valuable services are 50 highly APP
preciated by the county commissioners
At the same time / think If the doctor
will hold up for a few hours he will find
that the superintendent Of dry culture,
my respected friend, MIR. Carmichael is
able to manage the matter a little better
than he could have done it himself. AS
the one in charge Of the island, ] would
ike to state that have been doing every
thing consistent with the proper disburse-
mOn5 OF public money, 1. g., working all
the hands that could be worked TO adYan-
tage or with anything like oconomy.
Twill be glad to receive visit from my
venera bic friend aud show him how fifty
men are working over thereS and if he
feels like taking shovel and wheelbar-
row viii be glad for him to lead the gang
(prontem). IF the citizens sanitary board
think they can manage the matters any
better anu do the work quicker than it
is now being done would advise them to
contract with the city for the work They
might find something in it.
