AN OLD RESIDENT GONE.
Mrs. Margaret Reynolds Dies at Her
Home in This
City,

At the age of seventy mine years, Mrs.
Margaret +. Reynolds died at her home,
No. 97 South Market street, on Tuesday
afternoon. Mrs. Reynolds has been sick
for couple of weeks, and owing to her
advanced age, vitality was easily exhaust
ed. She was born in Pennsylvania, and
her maiden name was Faber. At an
early age she came to Canton, where she
has been resident for the greater part of
her life. She was the wife of John f..
Reynolds, who died few years ago and
two sons are left to mourn her loss,
James and Charles Reynolds. One son,
william F., in whose honor the public
fountain was erected on the square by his
father, died several years ago.
Mrs. Reynolds was Presbyterian In
religion, and woman very highly es-
teemed.
The funeral will be held at 2 O'Clock
Friday afternoon. Interment in West

A BIG FROST
Wednesday at YOungstOwn-NOt Much
of Stir Did Bushnell
Create.

The reception in Youngstown Wednes-
day night TO Gen. Asa S. Bushnell, repub-
lican candidate for governor, was decid-
ed frost. He was met at the depot by
about 500 people and brass band. He
was then driven about the city with
select few and later took dinner at the
Tod house. A general invitation had
been issued to take dinner with the gen.
eral and the landlord doubled his price
for the privilege of eating with the candi-
date. He had twenty-six seats and thirty
one republicans wanted to sit at table
with ''the next governor of Ohio. I"
About 100 people called at the Tod house
during the evening and shook hands with
Gen. Bushnell, and brass band blew
itself hoarse trying to mako show of
enthusiasm. Many say the extreme cool
ness of the affair is due to the presence
of Gen. A. w. Jones, candidate for lieu
tenant governor. The latter appears to
have a great many enemies in that city he
did not know of before. These are the
facts regardless of the blow and bluster
and "big" affair that the republican
papers talk of.

MADE A MILLION.
Senator Brice Gets the Long End Of
a Railroad Deal-RailrOad
Nau,c

And now Calvin Brice has made another
million by little sharp practice in a railroad
deal. When he bought the p. A. & W. road
people wondered what he wanted with it, but
it now developes that he with couple of
others had little scheme in view to line their
own pockets at somebody's else expense.
Brice, with General Thomas and associates
control the Lake Shore & Western. This road
has been making money for the stockholders
but Brice would rather have it make some
for him alone, so he leased the P. A. & w. to
the Lake Shore and issued s., 500, 900 Of bonds
for which the Lake Shore agrees to stand good
thus making them first class securities.
81, 100000 of this is to go to improving the p.
A. & w. road. Thus Brice gets 1880, 900 in
cash besides having 81, ,OOO,OO expended upon
his road and the Lake Shore stockholders
must pay the bill.

VERY NARROW ESCAPE.
An Unknown Man Comes Near Being
Killed By His Own
Carelessness.

An unknown man had a narrow escape
FROM being killed last night on Canton
Ma Iillon car. The man boarded the car
leaving Canton at 7:30 o'clock, just west
of the new fair grounds He had part
ner with him, and they were in the front
car. While the motor was going at a
rapid rate of speed the men decided to go
back to the trailer. One of them let
go with one hand, holding onto the rear
end Of the front car with the other hand.
He was dragged quito distanc, when his
partner managed to rescue him. The
train was stopped, and while the man was
badly bruised, he was not seriously in
jured. He left the car at Reed-U Urban, re-
fusing to give his name 1t was very
narrow escape and the accident was due
entirely to the carelessness of the injured
party. Charles A. Goodman, the efficient
city hall janitor, was in the car at the
time.

Fashionable Sunshades.

Silk, rather than satin, is the fabric
most In vogue, and the handles betray
much originality and not little luxury
in their composition, gold and silver, jew
els, dresden china and finely cut jet being
noticeable. Chiffon plays an important
part in many of them. Sometimes this Is
spotted, striped or embroidered, in others
plain.
Some sunshades have the ribs inside
softly enveloped in chiffon, white, pale
pink, heliotrope, lemon or cafe au lait be-
ing employed in the case Of black models.
Besides this ornamentation, there are also
two frills of the chiffon by way of lining.
The black and white striped silks, in
many varieties of width and design, are
smart and likely to be much seen. They

AN EVENING GOWN.

trimmed with yellow guipure and edged
with tiny little frills Of brussels lace The
belt and buttons Of this are Of steel, and
the waistcoat is of a peculiar shade of gray.
In the key Of blue also are set many Of
the French fashions-not the hideous
shade called pervenche, which is quite
gone out, but the intense sapphire Of deep
seas and southern skies. Many of the hats
are solely composed of this color-straw,
butterfly bow Of ribbon and garland OF
rnflowers-though some have choux Of
ecru lace introduced as q welcome relief,
the boat shape with its straight brim aud
unoompromising rotundity, being almost
universal. The redder tones of heliotrUpe
and purple are the only colors which dis
pute the empire of blue, and for material
crepon and alpaca reign supreme the lat
ter In gray and black. White lace wells
and white gloves are the finishing touches
to nine costumes out of ten.
A ball gown that is gem in its way is
a pink satin, thinly veilod with three or
four skirts of tulle, untrimmed. The bodice
is formed with bouillonnes and the sleeves
with putting over putting. AS the season
advances the size Of the evening sleeves
diminish in Paris, and the mode is being
accepted here. Indeed there is a fear that
in the revulsion from the enormous ones
now general we may run into a contrary
extreme.
Fashions are extravagant. Many of the
best dresses worn by women most a la
mode have cGpes made of the same mate
rial and trimmed with much guipure
lace Every 6-ess to have its own mantle
suggests opportunities for money spend
ing.
A white alpaca, for example, is made
| with q full Roman satin blouse, as soft as
beaten cream, the box plait covered with
white lace. The great novelty, however,
Is the cape. divided perpendicularly into
three, the back and fronts falling in box
plait from tho center collar and fastening
under the arm on to an oval button, so
that all the ugly hunched up appearance
of the ordinary cape is done away with.
| A grass lawn gown of string color Is made
with double cape edged with lace, plated
| in 'front.'
Pique, striped in colors and plain, makes
the most charming blouses and is used to
| pipe other m.s,erials.
White satin revers play an important
part in gowns and a white satin waistcoat
gives distinction to one Of the newest coat
and skirt costumes in very light gray al
paca Could any one with an open bodice
made to show vest resist the last new
style-namely, white satin with a plait
down the center supplemented by chiffon,
displaying three turquoise studs and a
rundown collar of the same satin?
The charming evening dress shown in
the cut is of dap cream surah, the bodice
veiled with chiffon and ornamented with

Strange to say, q man was the cause of
all the trouble In the early part of the
evening some strange men were seen PROV

ladies attended the Junior Assembly
dance at the pavilion, and as they were
returning home, some one suggested that
the house be looked over. Three of the
girls Miss Fasst, Miss Hartzell and Miss
Slusser, the latter carrying a lamp, start
ed to make tour of Investigation. They
were looking for man, and very unfor-
tunately found one, or thought they did,
the same thing. While looking around
the three young ladies glanced into room,
and under bed thought they saw the
form of a man. There was scream and
then faint. Miss Slusser, who had the
lamp, succeeded in placing it on the floor,
and then fell into dead faint.

excitement, and help was soon at hand

Another Wife Goes Home to Pa After
Trying Welded
Life

John Uth is minus wife. The couple
have been living at 246 South Plum
street, but have not been getting along
very we'll. John had very little work,
and his wife had to sew to keep the
wheels of the domestic machinery in mo-

were going last week, and on Saturday
she packed up her effects, took her little
boy and went back to her home on West
Fourth street. John is still holding the

at his disposal as soon as he secures note

Young Bailey is still in jail, while his
mother has about recovered from her in

WHERE THE BLAME BELONGS.
The Deficit Is Legacy Left by Repub-
lican Extravaganza.

fcan Extravaganza.
When Tanner said "God help the sur
plus, he fastened by confession on the
Republican party all the blsme for the
deficit which Secretary Carlisle finds at
the close of the fiscal year.
Treasury embarrassments caused by
the mortgages of the Reed congress pre-
destined the panic Of 1898 and the def
icit of 1895.
It was an embarrassed treasury which
engendered the distrusts of the govern
ment's ability to continue redemption
of currency notes. 1t was Mckinley
tariff which hampered trade and pre-
vented normal increase of customs
revenues Long before Harrison vacated
the White House every financier in
America perceived that trouble was i'm
pending and that the government must
issue bonds of default in its payments.
Harrison's secretary Of the treasury had
the bonds ready and only by sharp prac-
tice was able to drag along until the
4th Of March, 1898.
Republican extravaganza made def
icit and panic which, by reducing
trade and revenue receipts, prevented
the immediate success Of Democratic
efforts to administer the government
economically and honestly,
A Democratic tariff is encouraging
trade. The government S receipts are in
creasing. Wages are rising. Mines and
factories are busy. The farmer is get
ting better prices. The merchant is sell
ing more goods. Exports are more ac-
tive. American securities are attracting
purchasers. A Republican administra-
tion left financial confusion and uni
versal gloom. The Democratic admins
| tration will leave confidence in the good
faith Of the government, balance in
the treasury, prosperous condition OF
business and a hopeful people.
If the policy of the Harrison admin
istration and the Fifty-frst congress
had continued to this date, it would
have increased the national debt by
hundreds of millions, if it could indeed
have avoided the disgrace of suspen-
sion of specie payments.
We are dealing with Republican def
icit Under Democratic management
we shall wipe it out and recuperate
from its effects. as we overcame the Re-
publican panic and restored the activity
