AN ORANGE SWINDLE.

Oranges have played CONSPICUOUS
part in the little world in which they
are the chief commodity this year-tha t
is among the dealers, growers, buyers
and consumers-well, hardly the con-
sumers for IN this case their absence has
been their most pnspicious point.
The Florida freeze cost the growers
millions, and the BUYERS also dropped a
few pennies. The dealers who handled
them on commission Of course lost, or
failed to make their usual profit. Then
came the California combine. The
growers of that State hearing of the
Florida freeze, and knowing that the
supply would be limited formed mini
allure trust and agreed O cOnsign no fruit
and to sell only at certain price. The
buyers aud commission men decided if
possible to get along without American
grown fruit and turned their attention
TO Sicily. Thousands of boxes Of fruit
from this country were imported and
California was left in the lurch. This
was of course unfortunate for California
But the troubles did not stop here. The

"REPAIRING THE LOSS"

Under the above head our esteemed
contemporary gives what may be
considered by some an optimistic view
of the situation. Still there is much
truth in what it says. Florida is State
of many resources, and best of all lits
people are energetic, enterprising and
full of pluck. The increase in the
acreage of vegetables and side crops
since the freeze is most encouraging,
and to those who have thought all along
that the one crop plan Of Florida would
be it's destruction and diversification its
salvation the Times Unions statement
that the acreage in vegetables has been
increased by ten thousand acres will be
most gratifying news. The paper says:
The vegetable crop of Florida is twice as large
this year last. The melon crop is ten times as
large. Diversity of products is the lesson the
people have learned from the freeze. The lesson
is worth what it cost. for it will add extra mil
lions to the wealth of the State when Florida is
again in a position to supply the demand Of this
country for oranges.
Prices at present good The destruction
of the orange crop has made them better than
they otherwise would have been. 1t is quite
likely that within month the State will We
made back half of it's losses caused by the de-
struction of this YEARS crop. A larger amount
will probably be made next year. and we will
find that the gain from a greater diversity of
products will be perm anent.

planted in melons in Florida. Over $4,000 could
be proftaby planted. The people of Florida
ought to clear over 81 ,OOO, 600 year on this one
crop before the melons of other states are ready
for the market. After competition sets in their
is no reason why Florida melons should not
hold their own.
Florida is the garden spot OF the whole
country Her people have met disaster unds-
mayed. They can afford it, for they know they
live in a section of infinite resources. Nowhere
else can losses be easily repaired. Misfortune
that would overwhelm other states results only
in temporary inconvenience here.

RAILROAD COMMISSI. N BILL.

The demand for the re-enaction of
the railroad commission bill has
been pretty general throughout Flor
ida. Even those who were not
rabld and unreasonable "anti-corpora-
zionist" demand some protection and
saw the advantage to be derived from
properly framed railroad commission
lava law that would not harrass the
transportation companies more than act
uallv necessary, but which would protect
the people from discrimination, extor-
ton, etc.
Mr.. Healy, the representative from
Volusia county, has introduced in theAs-
sembly bill which is now under con-
slderation, and which may become a
law. 1t provides for three persons lot
less than 25 years old, and neither di-
rectly nor indirectly interested in any
railroad property or security, to be
elected by the people at each general
election. The com missioners are to re-
ceive a salary of 81. 800 year each. The
powers of the commission are described
generally thus:
1.-THE power and authority is hereby vested in
the railroad commission of Florida, and it is
hereby made it's duty to adopt all necessary
| rates, charges and regulations to govern and
regulate railroad freight and passenger tariffs
| the power to correct abuses, and prevent unjust
discrimination and extortion il the rates OF
freight and passenger tariffs the different rail
roads in this State, and to enforce the same by
| having the penalties inflicted as by this act pre-
scribed, through porper courts having iursdic
| tiOn.'
After the commission shall have elias
sified all classes Of freight and fixed rates
for freight and passengers to and from
all points within the State, the subioinec
remedies for violation are prescribed:

people of the United States had Guilt
yated their taste to the delicious Florid 4
orange, and when they could not be had
to the California fruit, so they refused
to accept the Sicily fruit as substitute.
This was of course bad for the dealers.
A sharp and INSCRIPTIONS Dago by
the name of Ferdinand FerrilI saw a
chance to bring about more trouble,
which he forwth proceeded to do. His
scheme is explained in the following
United Press Telegram in the daily pa
pers. The telegram says:
Receivers of oranges and lemons have been
made more alert than usual of late by the re-
ceipt at this port of goods that suggest the gold
brick swindle. When frost ruined the Florida
crop dealers turned to Sicily as source of
supply
The Scilians had lost hold on this market by
the growth of the Florida trade and the chance
that the call on that quarter for fruit early in
the s-ason would not be repeated seems to have
impressed Ferdinand Terrell, of Palermo, that
he might as well make clean sweep at once. 1t
is the practice OF receivers to place credits in Or
eign banks in the fruit importing season and to
let shippers draw those credits on the invoices
Shippers usually get ST. box these drafts
any balance being payable after delivery, E. l.
Goodsell of 103 Park Place, placed abroad a
credit of $1,000. The bank thai had it paid to
Terrell $500 on papers showing the shipment of
seven hundred boxes of oranges and lemons
When the goods arrived they were found to con-
sist of single layer of inferior oranges lemons
in each box, the remaining space being filed with
stones, sand and sulphur. Freight duty and
mission amounted to $1.7O per box, This
fruit was not worth the freight and Mr.. Goodsell
abandoned it to the government.
About four thousand boxes of this kind of stuff
have been brought to various receivers in the
city during the past week. The TIA ian CHI amber
OF commerce has taken up the grievance of the
victimized merchants and has asked the govern
ment to take such action as may punish the
swindlers. even if it may not recover the money
ost and which shall prevent repetitions of such
shipments. which can only work serious damage
to Italian trade.

MTMADE THE MOLDS.
Philip sta, Tier Arrested for Completely
in the G. ounterfeiting Scheme
Tai zen to Cleveland.

Deputy United States Marshal Hilands came
down from Ceyela nd Saturday afternoon and
when he returned at 7:30 Monday morning
Philip StRhler of No SO East Eighth street,
went along on ticket purchased by Uncle
Sam. Ever since KaslLner's arrest it has been
intimated that stahler was the party who
made the moulds and acted as general
machinst for the combination. The case was
quietly investigated by Officers Battin and
Welandt and Friday evening they telegraphed
for Hilands to come down. The arrest was
made Sunday evening between eight and nine
o'clock by deputy Marshal Hilands and Ofi'uer
Battin.
At the time of his arrest Stahler said he he'd
made the molds and dies and had put in the
line shafting in the shed and fixed the machine
in running order, He claims he did not know
what he was doing. Kashner claimed to be
making beer pump and he thought he was
working on that. Stahler is an employe of
the Wrought Iron Bridge Company and man
about so years old. He has been making
Kashner's saloon his loafng place for the past
year or two The work he did for Kashner
was all done at night he lost no time at the
bridge shop. He will be given a hearing in
Cleveland
In conversation with Deputy Marshal
Hilands he stated that Michener is not in.
clined to talk any. Kashner does the talking
but persists in blaming Michener and impli-
Gates no ono else
When Michener was informed by Mr. Hi
lands of the find made in his safe Michener
seemed to be as much surprised as if he had
never heard of the matter before He seemed
perfectly astounded that any such outfit had
been found in his Office. 1t is supposed that
he had an arrangement with some parties in
Canton to remove the contents of the safe be-
fore the officers searched it, but when the
Canton parties went to see about removing the
outfit it was of such size that it could not be
gotten out without exciting suspicion and inn
pliCating themselves. This no doubt accounts
for Michener's surprise and the readiness with
which he gave Marshal Haskell the combina- |
ton for the purpose of searching the safe.

ZOE MOCK RnRRFn-

Saturday night window in the rear of Joe
Nock's second hand store on East Fifth street
was broken out and the store robbed. The
thief was evidently tramp. Hs left an old
coat, pair of pants and an old pair of shoes in
the store, and took in exchange two suits of
clothes, pair of new Shoes valise, straw
hat, five revolvers, two watches and a pair of
fine opera glasses. Mr. Mock says he remem-
bers seeing man wearing the discarded
clothes in his store Saturday evening. He de-
scribes him as being heavy man, with dark
complexion and about five feet six or eight in
ches tall. In the pockets of the old coat which
was left were two balls, such as boys use, and
had evidently been stolen from some school
boys game. Word has been sent to Massillon
and Alliance and an effort will be made to To-
cate the thief.

JOHN BALDORF SKIPS.
He Could Not Wait Two Weeks So
He Left the WOrkhOuse
Sunday.

John Baldorf, prisoner of the county work .
house, escaped yesterday. He was a trusty
about the place and little before noon was
let out to water the garden. At dinner time
when the guard went to bring him in no John
could be found. He was sent up from Canton
for assault and battery and had but eighteen
days more TO serve.
In order to get the most work and best re.
suits from the men at the workhouse il has
been necessary to allow some of the more re-
liable ones little freedom and trust
to their honor not to take French
leave. Baldorf had been working about the
place considerable doing jobs that il is neces.
sary to have done but yet not ofa character to
warrant sending guard to oversee. He did
all right until Sunday Then as he gazed out
over the fields and saw the dandeions bloom
ing and listened to the rushing waters in the
nearby Nimshllen, their came within his
breast longing for liberty, and he could not
wait two weeks, so he stood not upon the order
OF his going but went at once.

REV. FIELDS SIXTH Anniversary

Rev. j. n. Field preached his sixth an
niversary sermon yesterday morning as
pastor of the Baptist church of this city.
He took for his text Acts 90 ;26, 27,
Wherefore testify unto you this day
that am free from the blood of all men
for have not Stunned to declare unto
you the whole counsel of God" At the
close of the sermon the pastor gave an
encouraging review of the years work
He then gave the following statistical re-
port for the past six years: Members
added to the church, 504; money raised
for all purposes, $50, 1851. The pastor
has preached 694 sermons, lectured 81
times, made about 4, $50 calls, conducted
80 funerals and solemnized 1856 mar
riages. When the pastorate began the
church had 371 members. Then the
church had no missions; now it has three.
The enrolment of all the schools is over
900. During all these years there has not
been particle of friction, but perfect
harmony, peace and prosperity.
The church was beautifully decorated
with flowers, and the attendance was
large.

Some people have money and use It for
themselves only. The world at large is
none the better for them having IT, Mrs.
George ID. Harter is not one of this class.
She has been fortunate in the possession
of money and she has also been liberal
with it in the bctterment of those about
her. Take for instance Aultman Hospi-
tai. What magnificent monument to
her love of humanity and love for suffer
ing mankind. A hospital is one of the
grandest institutions o city can possess
and when Mrs. Harter gave her time, in
fluence and money to this worthy cause
she engraved on the hearts of the people
of Canton an epitaph more enduring than
any that marble may contain. Mrs
Harter is n woman who makes as little
display of her charities as she does of
other things; display is not part of her
makeup. She is amply able to make
what the world regards as a show, but she
prefers the other course and goes along in
an even way and does great amount of
good to her fellowmen and fellowwomen.
Besides her gift TO Aultman hospital
Mrs. Harter has remem bercd Wittenburg
college in u most substantial and worthy
manner As memorial TO her hus-
band she gave an endowment of S25, 900
to the college, the poceeds of which estab-
lished and maintain the George Harter
Professorship of Practical Theology.
