Pensions

According to figures from the Pen

~ pensioners is gradually decreasing

Tho official estimate is that in 1900
there will bc s5I. l6l, aud five years
later 70I ll3 pensioners. 1t Is es-
tima,cl that the appropriation t'r
pensions in 1905 will be $il 600, 900
less than tho present year. The ap
preparation for this year is SOL
5sI.67o. This would make the ef'
umat appropriation for 1908 about
$4,000, 600. The smount already

A BOGUS ORDER
Attempted on the Wrought Iron
Bridge Co., But the Swindle
Didn't Work,

A rather slick forger is at work in the
vicinity of Canton, and he is badly
wanted by some people. Last Wednesday
the individual called at the office of the
Wrought Iron Bridge company and pre-
sented what purported to be an o-der for
S26. 45, signed by Edwin 9. Fisher, who
is in the employ of the company at Lans'
ing, Mich.
Mr.. Frank NJ. Wyant was suspicious
and refused to cash the order. He took a
copy of it, however, and told the man to
call the first Of the week. when 1t would
be paid il everything was all right The
stranger gave his name as g. A. koehlcr,
and said he was stopping at the Union
hotel. The sChcmer had his left arm In
a sling and the people at the hotel knew
nothing of him, as he was not stopping
there. Word was received later from
Lansing that Mr.. Fisher had never given
any such order and did not know koehler.
1t is thought Koehler has worked the
bogus order scheme on other people, and
developments are expected.

crowds, Wheeling and Findlay are both pay

Outside of Sunday the attendance at the games

been demonstrated before. Playing Sunday

old city league of amateur ball clubs will be
reorganized for this year.

A HOME RUN
Is What the Canton Ball Players Are
Making-The Club Dis
bands.

There will be no more professional base ball
in anton for some time to come. The Canton
club of the Interstate League disbanded last
night and base ball has received another set
back in Canton that will take it some years to
recover from. There are many causes which
led up to this. The Canton team carried IA
men on its pay roll besides its managers. In
the start out OF the league Canton opened at
Steubenyille when that club was at its best
When the new schedule was put out instead OF
sending Canton home, they were sent back
over the same route they had just played.
For "a games Canton played away from home
often not getting more than enough money to
pay their hotel bills. When they came home
the matter was not bettered much. Decora-
ton day they played to a fairly good business
Saturday they played to S27. The manage
ment then resolved TO play Sunday. The law
and order league had promised the manage
ment ample financial support in case they did
not play Sunday, and when the support was
not forthcoming they did not think they were
breaking faith in playing on Sunday. When
the game was decided on the managers knew
they would have to stand an arrest and trial
Yesterday after the game had commenced and
while the first man was at bat officer Barnes Of
the city police force stepped up to the pl'te
and the players were called in and
players, managers and umpire were put und'n
arrest They gave security for their appear
anoe and the game proceeded. In the third
inning another halt was called in the game
This time by manager Davis of the Kenton
club. The Canton club owed Davis S75. H'
demanded his money. w. A. Goble, who hai
charge of the funds told him the fines would
have 10 be paid first and what was left would
go to Kenton. This was not satisfactory ant
the game was stopped. Goble took stree
car for Canton accompanied by officer Barnes
who took him 10 the mayors Office to awai

BARNETT HOUSE ARLAzE.

The fire about noon today which caused SO
much excitement, but which did not turn out
to be large, was in the Barnett house. 1t
started in the attic of the building and spread
from there to the elevator shaft where it was
first seen by the elevator boy, who reported it.
1t also spread to the sleeping room of the por.
tiers which was occupied at the time by Robert
Stackhouse who was asleep. He awoke al.
most sutIocated by the smoke and with great
difficulty succeeded in reaching the stairway
and getting to the third floor
When the fire department arrived they, in a
short time, had the aerial ladder raised to the
top of the building and soon by means of chem
icals from the engine and from Babcock's had
the fire extingushed.
This is the first chance the department has
had to use the aerial ladder. Some of the in
ner walls of the garret were pretty badly de.
stroyed and some clothing and carpet was
burned.
The cause of the fire is not surely known,
but it is thought to have started from some old
clothes which may have contained fire when
placed in the attic.

A SERIOUS UPSET.
IN THE COUNTY.

A bad runaway accident happened north Of
town on the New Berlin road yesterday after.
noon. Chas. w. Ream the North Market
street grocer with his wife and child were out
taking buggy ride The harness appeared to
be loosely adjusted and at small incline near
the infrmary the buggy rubbed on the horses
legs. This frightened it considerably and
started it running away. 1t its endeavors to
get away from the buggy it ran into a picket
fence three times. The third time the buggy
went into ditch at the side of the road and
overturned. Mr.. Ream was thrown out to one
side, and his little girl was thrown on top of
him. Mrs. Ream fell under the buggy. She
was unable to walk and was assisted to the
home of Mr.. Cook near by, An examination
showed that her right arm was badly bruised
and her hip hurt considerably. A coach was
summoned from town and she was conveyed
TO her home where she will be confined to her
bed for some time. Mr.. Ream and the child
were unhurt The horse was caught just as he
attempted to jump the fence.

A SWEET YOUNG LIFE HUsHED.

Eliza Ruth Lynch, youngest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. VIM. A. Lynch died shortly after 10
o'clock Monday evening at the parents home
on South Market street. Her death was par
ticularly sad one. She was the youngest of
four daughters and child of most sweet dis
position and beauty Of character, The nine
years of her young life she had woven herself
into the friendship and love of not only her
immediate relatives but also of a large
circle of outside acquaintances. About
seven weeks ago she was taken with
the influenza and complications arose that
were too great for her young vitality For
some time she has been suffering with inham-
matory rheumatism and heart disease, and for
the past week has been growing gradually
weaker. DIR. Fraunfelter has been a faithful
attendant and prominent specialists from Mas
sillon and Cleveland were called in consulta
tion, but all efforts to save her life were of nc
avail, and Monday evening the cloud of sorrow
that had been lowering over the home settled
into the lives of her stricken relatives
Two of her sisters have been attending schoo
in Canada, but they are on their way HON,
and will be here Wednesday.
The funeral will occur or Thursday.

GETTING GOOD AND READY
Are the Presbyterians Who Intend to
Leave the Old Church-An-
other Meeting,

Another meeting of Rev. Mr., Ferguson's
friends was held at his residence last evening.
The attendance was not so large as on pre-.
vious occasions, the warm weather keeping
many away.
At the meeting held a week ago Friday
night it was thought by all present that every
thing would be IN readiness to step out tomor-
row. 1t was the intention to present paper
TO the session asking for their letters, and wor-
ship in the old church Sunday for the last
time. At the meeting last night it was con.
cludcd however that they were rushing mat
tiers too rapidly and that possibly there
might have been some clause in Presbyterian
laws overlooked which would prevent the
organization under Presbyterian rules. The
question of expense was also discussed, and it
was concluded that the best moves was to wait
another week.
The members say they are not waiting be-
cause they have not enough members to form
new organization, but they think by not
rushing matters, the cause will be helped.

A $4,000 BLAZE.
Two Business Blocks in the Heart of
Alliance Destroyed This
Morning,

Alliance was visited by a. disastrous fire
shortly before o'clock this morning. Two
business blocks were entirely gutted by the
flames and six business establishments de-
stroyed. The loss is estimated at $50, 600, only
partially covered by insurance.
The fire department was slow in responding
and the work of the fire chief, William Aungst
is severely criticised in Alliance. Many grave
charges are made against the official, it being
claimed that he was not in condition to fight
the flames and was abusive to his men.
The buildings destroyed were known as the
Coffee aud Bates blocks, both being frame
structures. The fire started in the tailor shop
of George DANCES, and the origin is unknown,
as there was no fire in the shop. The loss on
the tailoring establishment is estimated at
$1,000, insurance 81 900.
The flames spread with great rapidity and
soon communicated to the furniture store of
D. B, Cassaday who carried a stock valued at
$4,000. His insurance was only S2,7OO, and
the loss is placed at s6,20O
Dutton & Bessenat's plumbing shop was to-
tally gutted the loss being $4,000.
John Seifert's butcher shop was damaged
81 900, insurance $500. j. G. Pointer, the
barber, lost $3.50. fully covered by insur-
anCe.
The Coffee block was owned by DIR. c. p.
Coffee and was insured for $4,000. f. G. Bates
and Mrs. Stockwell owned the Bates block.
Their loss is estimated at $500, insurance
1000.
The jewelry store of D. W. Smith is COM
plete wreck, his loss being total, with no in
surance.
The burned blocks were located ON Main
street near the square Only three lines of
hose were in use, one of them bursting.
