DEATH OF MRS. UNDERHILL
After Long Life of Usefulness She
Passes Away Thursday
Morning.

AT 10A5 Thursday morning Mrs. j. w.
Underhill died at her home on South Market
street. A week ago she was attacked with a
severe case of la grippe, and being in the
seventy fifth year of her age and of rather
frail constitution she was unable to withstand
the power of the disease and for the past few
days little hope has been entertained for her
recovery.
Wednesday her daughter Mrs. Fogle of
saltwater Mimi, was telegraphed for but be-
fore she could arrive the final dissolution be-
tween body and soul was made manifest.
Mrs, Underhill was one of the old residents
of Stark county. She was born and raised at
Kendall, which is now the northeastern part
of Massillon. Her maiden name was Henri
eta Widgeon, and she leaves brother and
sister, Mr.. Charles Widgeon of Logansport, In.
diana, and Mrs. Galbreath of Los Angeles.
On Nov. 2, 1912, she married Mr. Underhill
who was then a young lawyer in Massil-
lon They lived in that city until 1861, when
Mr.. Underhill was elected probate judge, and
they then came to Canton, and have been res
idents here since.
Three children, Mr.. Arthur Underhill. Mrs.
W. A. Lynch and Mrs Henry Fogle were
born to them, and all are living.
Mrs. Underhill was well and favorably
known by all Of the older residents of this city
and Massilon and much sorrow will be felt at
her decease.
The arrangements for the funeral will not be
made until Mrs, FOgle arrives. She is now on
her way and will be here this afternoon.

HIGHwAYMEN IN ALLIANCE,
They Hold Up the New Preacher for
Middlebranch But Get No
Money.

At Alliance Thursday night hiehwaymen
shot and attempted to hold up and rob Rev. H.
Martens, the new pastor of the church at Mid.
dlebranch. Rev. Martens has been preaching at
Saxonburg, near Butler, Pa, and was on his
way TO his new charge at Middebranch.
He was driving through in buggy and
when he reached State street in Alliance about
O'Clock Thursday evening, two men stopped
him, one seizing the bride of his horse and
the other covering him with revolver and
demanding his money. The horse reared and
threw the one robber aside, at which Rev. Mar
tens cut at him with bis whip and attempted
to escape. The second highwayman opened
fire with his revolver, the first shot
going through Mr.. Martens ulster
and breaking off button above his left breast,
while the next shot cut through two fingers Of
his left hand. The third shot struck him in
the hip, but on account of his heavy clothing
did no more than severely bruise. Two other
shots were fruitless. The robbers escaped.
Mr.. Martens is suffering somewhat from his
wounds. and a party is out hunting for the
desperadoes.

READY FOR BUSINESS.
The Aultman Co.'S Reorganization
Completed and Work Will be
Commenced Soon,

The final meeting for the reorganization of
the Aultman works was held at the office
Wednesday afternoon and the work entirely
completed. The members Of the reorganization
committee present were Theophilus King, vice
president of the National Bank of Redemption,
of Boston, G. L. Clifford, president of the
Wachusetts national bank of Fitchburg, B. +.
Dennison, cashier Of the Market Street nation
al bank of Philadelphia, S. l.. Severence, presi.
dent of the Euclid Avenue national bank of
Cleveland, Charles Steese, president of the First
national bank of Massllon. w. W. Clark, pres
ident of the City national bank of Canton and
johnson Sherrick, president of the First
national bank Of Canton and one of the incor.
porators.
The election of directors resulted in placing
upon the board the following: Messrs. King,
Clifford, Dennison, Severence Steese and
Clark as representatives of the creditors, Hon.
Lewis Miller of Akron, and Hon. w. A. Lynch
and NJ. b. Cox of Canton.
The board elected Hon. w. A. Lynch presi-
dent and treasurer, W. w. Clark vice presi-
dent and chairman of the board, and M. b.
Cox secretary. Mr.. Lynch, Mr.. Clark and
Mr.. Steese were appointed as the executive
committee.
After the election the board spent some time
discussing plans for the closing up of the old
business and beginning anew. 1t was de.
cided to begin the building of threshers and
engines as soon as the necessary preparations
can be made which will take about two weeks.
In the opinion of the board It was thought
some other articles should be made besides
threshers and engines Ibut no decision was
reached on that matter.
In the election and in the later discussion of
plans the greatest possible harmony prevailed
and spirit of confidence was manifest that
augurs well for the business in the future. The
gentlemen at the head of the industry are omi.
nently capable and experienced and they hope
and expect to bring the new organization back
to its former prosperity and to make il even
better for Canton than it ever has been before.

GAINED OVER $4,000.
February Bank Clearings Indicate Re-
turning Prosperity and Good
Business for Canton.

The bank clearings for Canton are rapidly
increasing, which fact isa certain evidence of
greater business activity and general prosper
ity. The clearings for February, 1894
amounted TO sl70.9OO This year they
jumped to 1894 10, clear gain of sll5,.
O62 90. Mr.. viii Krumlauf of the First Ma
tional bank, who keeps the records Of the clear
ings, stated today that for the past six months
there has been gradual increase and that the
ratio Of increase is becoming greater every
month. Another evidence Of returning conf.
denoe and prosperity is that the checks are for
larger amounts than during the panic. Dur
ing the time Of the scare just as many checks
were handled as common but they were for
smaller amounts. Business men bought close
ly, but now they are beginning to deal heavier,
and the checks are correspondingly larger.

The sale of The Sun Vapor Light COmpany's
plant recently for $s7 025, brings to mind an
attempt that was made early in the winter to
have the court issue an order to allow the
property to be sold for not less than $50, 900.
At that time there was syndicate formed who
would have given that sum for the plant. The
motion was argued before Judge
McCarty, who refused to make the
order The Judge held that it was poor time
to sell and that the sale should be made after a
thorough advertisement of II had been made
The property was advertised and when it sold
it brought S27025 more than the syndicate
wished to purchase il for early in the winter.
In the meantime the plant was operated under
the able management Of Receiver Wann and
had cleared several thousand dollars. Had IL
not been for the stand taken by Judge McCarty,
who is a firm believer in newspaper advertis-
ing the extra S27, 900 would have been lost.

There are few unbecoming, beplumed and

theatre-goers in this city in spite of the indig-
nant protests made by the general public, but
their number happily is getting less. The big
hat in the theatre now makes the wearer al
most as conspicuous as would be man in his

A DESPERATE MAN.
One Of the Alliance Highwaymen Shot
and Jailed-He Tries to Kill
the Officers.

Marshal Jones and Officer Oglineof Alliance,
brought man to Jail Friday night who was
arrested at Alliance on the charge of highway
robbery in connection with the attempted rob-
berry of Rev. Martins The man refuses to
give any name, and is placed on the Jail regis
ter as John Doe. He is about thirty-five years
old, is five feet nine inches tall and will weigh
about $50 pounds.
About IL o'clock Thursday night Marshal
Jones arrested man in Alliance just as he was
boarding a freight train and started with him
to the baggage room to search him when the
fellow broke away. The marshal shot at him
and missed and the fellow returned the fire
and was soon lost in the darkness. The mar
shal procured the assistance of Officers Kale
and Ogline and rode on freight train to AL
lance Junction about three miles east of Alli-
ance and started to walk back up the track.
When about two miles from town Marshal
Jones was suddenly confronted by his man
and before word could be uttered the fellow
showed A caliber revolver into the marshaPs
face and pulled the trigger. By quick
movement Jones struck up the desperado's
arm and the bullet just grazed the top of
his hat. Before the desperate man could

pulled his gun and fired two bullets into him.
The fellow dropped in his tracks, but nervy to

and attempted to shoot Officer Kale, who was
bending over him trying to pinion his arms
The officers brought their prisoner into the
city on shifting engine, and summoned a
physician who dressed his wounds.
One Of the bullets from Ogline's 3s-caliber
revolver entered his side an inch below the
heart while the other entered his thigh. The
wounds are not necessarily fatal
The only thing found on his person except
the revolver, was about $50 in money. He was
taken to Shaw's boarding house where he was
identified by Rev. Martens. The mayor held a
preliminary examination in the boarding
house. and bound the man over to court in the
amount OF $4,000. The fellow claims he was in
Canton at the time Of the robbery, and that he
had been in Canton all day Thursday. He was
resting easy in the Jail this morning, and Drs.
Brant and Robinson who attended him say he
will recover.

Have you noticed the very dirty condition
of our streets, said prominent citizen to me
the other day. confessed that had, and re-
marked that such a condition was very likely
to produce sickness, and especially the grip. The
grip thrives exceedingly well in dirt, and the
poisonous vapors given off from dirty and filthy
streets gives la grippe firm grip. 1t is big
mistake to think that the cold weather neu-
tralizes the effects of the dirty streets and kills
the posons. Disease is given off from street
filth in winter as well as in hot weather, al
though many people think that cleanliness is
necessary only in summer. This is an old err
ror, although popular one. Our streets right
in the heart of the city are a mass of filth and
should be cleaned.
