SMALL DISCREPANCY
That 1t Is Said Is Considered
Altogether Too insignificant
TO BOTHER MUCH OVER

BY a Republican EX-Clerk at Canal
Fulton and Select CounCilmaniC
Committee of the Same Chaste PO'
litiCaI Affiliations Appointed to In
vestigate-A Troublesome Problem
That Needs mediate Elucidation'
Canal Fulton taxpayers are wonder
ing If that councilmaniC committee that
was appointed to investigate the ex-town
clerk S accounts, is ever going to report.
You see, down in that bailiwick W. A.
Statlcr was a very popular, and some say,
a very efficient custodian of the city S
books, although it must be unobtrusively
remarked that there were those who
shook their heads vigorously and re-
marked II told you so, when it was
currently reported that very small diff
ference of few Insignificant hundred
dollars existed, between the accounts on
the books and the corrupting coin in the
safe.
OF course, the council being republican,
and the clerk being of the same chaste
political affiliations it was merely for
mality, this appointing of republican
committee to investigate, and by way of
emphasis, in demonstrating how readily
provincial towns are to adopt the methods
of more important centers, it may be re-
marked, soJto voice, that there were
many, many of the village sages who
thought this selection was more than
formal.
Any way, there are those who are so
unkind as to express, and by word of
mouth mind you, their profound convic-
tions, that the committee has had suffic-
lent time since the fall Of 93, in which
to reach some conclusions.
The impenetrable silence that has per-
yaded the sacred precincts of the city
fathers cogitation is being sadly broken,
and there are said to be mutterings OF
discomfort that portend an official storm
of great severity unless some definite con
clusions are speedily reached.
The fact that Canal Fultonites are said
to be seen fluttering about in the vicinity
of the grand jury door might not have
any more connection with this case than
that of any republican officials of Massil'
lon who have sadly gone wrong, through
no evil intent of their own, however.
Massillon residents have been discov
cred in equally a suspicious proximity tc
that chamber of horrors to the evil doer
Then again, these matters might have Q

VERY BOLD PLOT.
WOrkhOuSe Prisoners Intended
to Blow Up Supt. POntius.
AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE.

William Shank Arrested For Blowing
Up the workhouse Stone Crusher
With Dynamite-He is Suspected of
Follow.
William Shank, Of New Philadelphia,
is confined at the work house on a charge
of malicious destruction Of property, it
being claimed that he is one of the par.
tie. who blew up the work-house stone
crusher with dynamite on the night Of
September 7.
The arrest was made at New Philadel-
phia, yesterday, by the marshal of that
place, and the prisoner was brought to
the wOrk-house last night. This after
noon he will be given hearing before
Justice Bowers.
Ever since the stone crusher was de-
stroyed, superintendent POntius and the
guards have been at work on the case, en-
deavoring to locate the guilty parties.
They are satisfied that Shank is one Of
the parties, and are now after George
Howard and Charles Leonard, who are
wanted to answer to the same offense.
Shank was arrested with the other par
ties, but was released from the work
house on the Wednesday before the
CRUsRER WAS BLOWN UP.
He was seen in their company on Satur-
day, and admits having been with them
up town He denies his guilt, but in q
very feeble manner.
On the Saturday night the orusher was
destroyed, Shank, in company with two
other men, called at the work house about
$3.50 O'Clock, and meeting Miss Bessie
Pontius on the front steps, told her they
desired to give tobacco to some of the
prisoners. She told them it was against
the rules, and handing her the tobacco,
they took their departure. She recognizes
Shank as one of the men.
Superintendent Pontius has learned
from a detective who was playing tramp,
and travelling east on a Pennsylvania
freight, that three men were talking
about the work house and making many
threats about what they intended to do.
This was the day after the crusher had
been blown up, but the detective didn't
know the job had been done. One of the
men said they had gone to the work house
the previous night, with the intention
OF THROWING A BOMB
at Superintendent Pontius and in addi-
tion to killing him, blow up the entire in
stitution. AS Mr.. Pontius was not at
home, they didn't make the attempt
1t is also thought Shank and his two
companions are the same parties who at
tempted to "hold up Daniel Baylor the
same night the crusher was destroyed,
Mr.. Baylor called at the work-house this
morning and said Shank looked very much
like one of the parties who assaulted him.
1t is known that Shank and his part
ners made threats that they would blow
up the stone orusher and give the boys
rest. Superintendent Pontius is de-
lighted at the capture, and thinks they
have sufficient evidence to convict Shank.
Shank pleaded not guilty in Squire
Bowers court today and being unable to
furnish 5000 bond was sent to the county
Jail tosawait hearing Monday night.

A PUBLIC FUNERAL
Held From Home Where There Was
Diphtheria

And 1t is Said the House and the
Grocery Conducted by the Family
Were Never Quarantined.
There is anxiety in North Canton. A
child of }. r. Bodine, which, up to with
in four days previous to its death, was
suffering with diphtheria, was buried
Wednesday, and a public funeral held.
1t is against the law in cases Of diphtheria
to have public funerals, and the only ex-
planation for this one is that the child
was cured Of that disease and died with
paralysis of the heart. The towship trus-
tees were notified at the time Of the
childs' sickness with diphtheria, but the
attending physician says they failed to
quarantine the house. There are at pres
ent other similar cases and the residents
of the neighborhood think something
should be done. Mr. Bodine conducts a
grocery on the Harrisburg road.

A ROOF GARDEN
Planned For the New Five Story Big
Hotel Building

That is to Cover West Tuscarawas
Street Square-Architect Hammond
Draws the Plans-How it is Pro-
posed to Build 1t.
The News-D Democrats exclusive men,
tiOn with reference to the plan of build
ing a new hotel at the corner of West
Tuscarawas street and Cleveland avenue,
caused much talk among local capitalists.
There is no doubt but that this building
can be secured to Canton.
One of the bridge companies 1t is un-
derstood, has agreed to furnish iron and
take stock, and the same proposition is
made with reference to brick. The plan
for the structure, which was prepared by
Architect George F. Hammond, of Cleve-
land, first called for a seven story block,
but 1t was considered best to make it five
stories and the revised plan has been sub
mitted.
1t provides for offices, billiard room and
bar on ground floor, and the dining room
on second floor at the corner of Cleveland
avenue and Fifth street, also a roof gar
den. 1t is the desire of those interested
to commence work this fall that the hotel
may be completed and ready for business
by June. 1t Is anticipated that Should
Mckinley be the nominee of the next re-
publican convention of the United States,
there will be good business for hotels
in this city.
MAY BE A NEW HURFoRD.
1t is learned on good authority that the
Hurford House will be torn down in the
near future, and an elegant new hotel
erected. 1t Is said the new hotel will be
an elegant affair, and flrst-olass in very
particular.

DAIRY BUTTER THAT PAYS.

Market quotations and notes are liable

in one respect. He observes that the
highest quotations are TOR choice cream
cry grades. from which he concludes nat
urally that the private dairy is wholly
out OF date Yet, Notwithstanding the
general market quotations., 1t is a fact
that the highest prices are received for
private dairy butter and fancy makes,
which never reach the wholesale trade al
all, but are sold directly to consumers
For these gilt-adge brands the price OBJ
tanned if often surprising, says a writer in
