BACK TO THE WORKS.
BatdOrf Found in Bed With a Canton
Girl at Kendal--BOth Sent

A clue to the whereabouts of John Batdorf,
the man who escaped from the workhouse
week ago last Sunday, was found by the work
house officials yesterday afternoon They were
informed that man of his description was at
+. X. Fetter's, a farmer living in Jackson
township near the Summit county line. Supt,
Pontius, Guards Card and Riger Immediately
started for the place. When they arrived
there Mr.. Fetter told them that man giving
his name as John Brown had come there last
Tuesday. He said Brown represented himself
to be married man from Canton, out of work
and in needy circumstances, so he gave him
employment. On Saturday Brown sent for his
wife and she Joined him. The couple he said
did not act as man and wife-they were too
spoony. On Sunday he said that he read in
the STARK County Democrat" that man by
the name of John Batdorf had escaped from
the county workhOuse and he Immediately
fixed his suspicious upon Brown. On Monday
morning he sent word to Supt. Pontlus with a
man coming to Canton, that he was sure that
was the escaped prisoner. On the same morn
ing his wife chased the. couple away on ac-
count of their disgusting actions. So at about
1 o'clock when the workhouse officials arrived
there John and his sweetheart were gone.
They had started down the road towards Mas
sillon. The officials started on their trail,
which was one not hard to follow, for they
had walked along the road linked arms and of
course everybody noticed them. They were
traced to Millport and from there into Massil-
lon. The Massillon police were inn
mediately notified and they along with
the workhouse guards started out to
search the town. At about 8 O'Clock
Guard Rigler and Policeman Mcclure found
them in John Whitmer's place in Kendall,
where they were in bed. They were soon
pulled out and taken before Mayor Schott,
where they were charged with fornication.
Each was sentenced to the workhOuse for ten
days and to pay fine of $50 and the costs.
The woman gave her name as Mary Rohrer,
but her name is Minnie c. Reinhart and her
residence is in North Cherry street of this city,
After being sentenced they were brought ovel
and placed in the workhouse. Much credit is
due Mr.. Fetter and Mayor Schott and the
police of Massillon for the interest they took
in the case and the work they did.

CONDITION oF CROPS.

In the light of the recent killing fost the
report of the Ohio State Agricultural
Society and Weather and Crop Service is
interesting. The report for northern Ohio
for the week ending Monday, May 13 is
as follows:
The week was unusually warm until
Saturday. when it became much cooler.
Heavy showers in most of the counties
on first two days of the week, and occa-
sonal showers since that time have greatly
improved the crop conditions, and vegeta-
tion of all kinds has made rapid progress,
but in several counties the rain was light
and more is needed owing to the previous
dry conditions. Wheat shows much
improved condition, and Is generally do
ing well. Grasses and meadows are now
growing rapidly, but are still somewhat
backward. Glover is making much inn
provement, but is being badly eaten by
worms in some counties. The greater
part of the corn is planted and some is
coming up, cut worms are at work.
Early potatoes are up, some large enough
to cultivate; bugs are at work in some
counties. The fruit bloom was very
heavy, and nearly all kinds promise a
good crop. Worms are working on fruit
trees and currants, and the trees are be-
ing sprayed to prevent injury. Stock is
nearly all out on pasture.

COXEY'S POLITICAL BEE.
Is Buzzing Very Loudly-He Wants
to be Governor and Then
President,

It was recently reported that Gen. J. S.
Coxey, of CommOnweal fame, had had q
new picture made of himself. Coxey
wants to be the populist candidate for gov
ernor Of Ohio. Coxey wants the cam
paign run on his nOn-interest bearing
bond scheme. The populist state convcn-
ton last year endorsed it by a resolution
and while there are some objections, it
has the general approval Of the populist
following here.
Mr.. CoXey's browning ambition is TO be
the populist nominee for president in
1896, and he thinks that If he makes u
stirring campaign for the populists in
Ohio this year the presidential nominal
ton which he seeks will be pressed upon
him so earnestly by the populists of the
nation that he will not be able to resist it.
His eccentric lieutenant, Carl Browne, Is
devising some unique feature for Mr..
Coxey's campaign in Ohio.
In order to ascertain how this idea of
Coxey for the peoples party candidate for
governor of Ohio would strike the populits
of Canton, a News reporter interviewed
several of the leading workers this morn
ing as follows:
H. w. Kerch-"I believe that the pOpu-
lists would support Mr.. Coxey almost
unanimously if he wanted the nomina-
tiOn."
Allen COoE-"I believe that Coxey
would make an excellent governor if
elected. l see no reason why the pOpulists
should not nominate him, and many
reasons why he should be nominated. BY
this do not mean that other candidates
should be excluded from the contest. j..
S. Coxey has done more to bring the
financial question to the front and make
it the dominant issue Of the campaign of
1896 than any man living or dead. l can
say without any hesitancy that he can
serve the people of Ohio in at least as
creditable way as Mckinley, Foraker OF
| Campbell -

STATE O. E. CONVENTION.

The city union of Christian Endeavor is
making every effort to secure the state conven-
tion of the Y. p. s. G. f, for Canton in 1896
Sometime ago a committee was appointed on
preliminary arrangements and they are hard
at work preparing plans for making strong
invitation, 1t has heretofore been n difficult
matter TO secure the conventions on account of
the fact that the larger cities sought so eagerly
for them; but it is now believed that with an
urgent and impressive invitation at the con-
vention which will be held at Springfield,
June 25.2s, that Canton will be successful in
getting ii in 1896. The influence and support
of the public will be secured and strong efforts
made.
The Canton Union consists of nine senior
societies with a collective membership of over
five hundred, and five junior societies with a
membership of over two hundred. The con-
vention. if secured will bring to the city from
seventeen hundred to two thousand visitors
and continue through three days. 1t is there
fore evident that il will result not only in great
spiritual good but also in temporal advantages
to the city.
Hence the committee in charge has decided
to circulate petitions among the business and
professional men seeking their influence to-
ward getting the convention. 1t is hoped that
the committee will receive hearty response
that their efforts may be made success,

YOUNG PATToN's EsoAPADE.

Harry Patton several daya ago disposed OF
his pony and carriage to Liveryman L. l.,
Herring, of Massillon, for S65. The outfit was
valued at $3.50 and was not the property OF
young Patton. Patton has not been seen
since selling the animal and his family is
greatly alarmed over his disappearance. 1t is
not known exactly where the youth is located
but his relatives generally suppose that he is
somewhere in Pittsburg, as he has many
friends there and recently expressed desire
to visit that city. Lawyer Il. N. Taylor was
in Massillon yesterday investigating the mat
ter. He will endeavor to replevin the prop,
erty as Harry Patton is but is years of age.

A scHooLBoY DISAPPEARS.

Homer, the 1Gyear old son Of John Filler, of
Alliance, is missing, 1t is reported that the
boy went to one of the banks where he had
about $50 in savings, and drawing the money
out left the town. Homer has a good home
and no trouble occurred that would provoke
him to take this step. Rumor has it that he
had three absent marks on his school report
card which he could not explain, and fearing
that his father would be seriously displeased,
concluded to leave home.
