Last Friday morning, January 4th, 1895,
just as the rays of the matin sun we're begin
ming to gild the Winter landscape in mild
efulgence, the spirit of ROLAND H. Marvin
went to its immortal destiny, and gently the
form of the patient sufferer was stilled in
sweet and abiding sleep. Calmly and
beautifully he awaited the summons, and
fearlessly and contentedly passed into the
realms of the Silent Land, sustained by the
consciousness of a life of unsullied aspira-
tions and purity of deed.
ROLAND was the fourth son of Mr.. and
Mrs ]. S. Marvin, and was born in Ravenna,
Ohio, February 26th, 1879. being nearly 10
years old. He passed his entire life in this
village, experiencing the pleasures and rec
reative enjoyment peculiar to healthful
childhood and ambitious boyhood.
He discovered a strong preference for mil
itary pursuits, and had determined upon
some day entering West Point and fitting
himself for the profession of his choice. But
in the Summer of 1898 he sustained aninjury
in his right leg while engaging in sack race
at the Merchants Picnic at Brady Lake,
which, although seemingly of an inconse-
sarcoma, finally necessitating amputation OF
the leg at the hip. The operation was sue
cessfully performed on February 9th, 1894
at the Cleveland Hospital, and he rallied
| from it with remarkable readiness, ,and seem
| ed almost restored to his former vigor, until
last August, when he commenced to fail il
health, and gradually declined until the end
During all the weary weeks and months
of his trying ordeal he preserved an unbro
ken cheerfulness, and was never heard tc
complain or repine over his great afliction
His funeral was held on Sunday at two
O'Clock, from the family home on West OAK
Street, and was very largely attended. A
| touching testimonial of atfectionate regard
was the attendance of about twenty-five o.
his young men friends at the funeral, eacf
wearing Sprig Of evergreen as memoria
| emblem. Rev. Andrew Wilson officiated
| making some excellent remarks, and point
ing out to the young associates of ROLAND
the beauty and profit of his well ordered life
ROLAND was good boy, patient, kind anC
considerate, not only at home, but every
where. 1t is the universal testimony of al
who knew him, that he was frank, open anC
manly in all his ways, of remarkable sun
shiny disposition, and led life unsullieC
by single bad habit.

P1eTCe.
Years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, now chief
consulting physician to the Invaiids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N Y,
recognizing the fact that consumption was
essentially germ disease, and that rem
edy which would drive the germs and their
poisons from the blood would cure consump-
ton, at last found a medicine which cured oS
per cent. of all cases, if taken in the earlier
stages of the disease
The tissues of the lungs being irritated by
the germs and poisons in the blood circu1at-
ing through them, the germs find lodgment
there, and the lungs begin to break down.
Soon the general health begins to fail, and
the person feels languid, weak, faint, drowsy
and confused.
This is the time to take DR.. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery; it drives the germs
and poisons from the blood, and has sooth-
ms ing effect upon the dry cough: In cases of
Golden Medical Discovery" increases the
amount and quality of the blood, thus invig-
ease and builds up wholesome flesh and
strength after wasting diseases, as fevers

Business in Recorders Office for
December, 1894.

The County Commissioners met in January
session Monday. According to the ruling of
State Attorney General Richards, the ap-
pointment of Wesley Hubbard and S. J. Post
to the offices of County Commissioner and
Recorder respectively, made in December,
by the proper officials, to fill vacancies, was
invalid, for the reason that no appointment
could be made until the vacancy actually oc-
CURED, which did not happen until Monday
| of this week. For this reason it became nee
essary to re-appoint them on Monday. The
two officials thereupon fled their bonds and
qualified. J. H. Hart filed official bond as
| Sheriff, which was accepted. Same action
taken with bond fled by II. B. Coe, Infrmary
Director.
After the customary action of allowing bills
and claims, the Commissioners adjourned.
The Commissioners met in special session
yesterday for the purpose of again giving
| audience to representatives of the Ravenna
| and Walsh Babcock street railroad compa-
| nies, but Mr.. Walsh was unable to be present
| The original time of 80 days given the com
| panies to accept the conditions of the fran
| chlse granted them was extended to the first
| Tuesday in February.

The chance of the Cuban insurgents
getting recognition as belligerents from

small. The establishment of de facto
government is a condition precedent
for the accordance of telligerent rights.

many Spaniards and cause as much de-

THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS.

The defeat of the Liberals in the Eng
fish elections was expected, but the first
days polling bring indications not only
OF defeat but of defeat closely approaching
rout. The most prominent Liberal leader,
Sir William Harourt, has been defeated
at Derby, which he carried at the last
election by over thousand. There are
Tory gains all along the line, and not a
single Liberal gain to offset them. In
deed SO overwhelming has been the sue
cess of the Toris so far that they are an
tlclpating majority big enough to get
along without the support of the so-called
Liberal Cnionists, in which event they
are pretty likely to throw the latter over
board. The causes of the Liberal over
throw are not very clear. Gladstone
indifference has cooled the ardor of the
party very much. Harcourt suffered
doubtless from his championship of the
local option measure. In some. of the con-
stituencies so-called labor candidates who
are believed to be nothing but Tories in
disguise, have drawn off many votes
from the Liberals. But probably the
oyershadowing reason for the Liberal de-
feat is the failure of the party to do any
thing in the last Parliament, a failure
for which they were not really much to
blame since they were at the mercy of
the Irish members. but which has hurt
them none the less on that account.
Homerule for Ireland has also grown I'M
popular and though the Liberals are not
mentioning it in the present campaign,
still their connection with it is probably
having bad effect upon them.

works into the story with great effect.
All the main points in the story are his

have an historic basis, with which is in

it life and spirit. The story is free from
