THE FAIR CLOSED.
The Attendance Friday Was
Not Very Large.
SOME GOOD RACES.

The Favorites Win In Straight Heats
Monroe Girl Takes the Stark
County Special Pace-Exhibitors Re-
move Their Products and the Fair
Ends.
The Stark county fair of 1895 is now mat.
ter Of history. The closing session Friday was
rather poorly attended, country people espic-
tally being conspicuously absent. The good
races upon the program brought a fair attend
ance from town but 1t was not what 1t should
have been to insure that financial success de-
sired by the fair directors.
The air was cold and this had the effect of
somewhat freezing the enthusiasm of the
people present.
The scenes of Thursday when the rustic
youths and their sweethearts came in for their
annual jubilee were entirely missing on Fri.
day and very little out of the ordinary oc.
Cured to awaken interest
The chief attraction of the day aside from
the races appeared to be the booth where a
colored mans head served as a target for
ancient hen fruit in the hands of spectators
As the colored man got SO a day for sticking
his head through the hole in the canvas and
he seldom got hit, he thought it was good
job. Judging from results Stark county has
some very wild throwers. About half OF those
who attempted to hurl the eggs missed the
whole canvas, which was about fifteen feet
square and the eggs would fly over into the
crowd and as a rule settle upon the back of
some unofIending citizen.
1t has not been good year for the men who
bought privileges and they were unusually
persuasive in their remarks which were calcu
lated to bring purchasers. Very little was
sold on the grounds Friday, however.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
A MassillOn Miss Has Her Cloth

IGNITED BY A SPARK.

In a Flash She Is Mass of Roaring
Flames and Her Flesh is Burned to a

Miss Lulu Skunk, aged 10, was fata' y
burned at Massillon Monday night. She was
engagedin filling a lamp with coal oil. Her
clothing became saturated and caught fire
from stove. In an instant she was envel-
oped in flames, and rushing into the yard, fell
Her entire body was burned to crisp and
in many places the flesh and skin hung loose
from the bones. She was conscious but in
terrible agony. Six weeks ago she fell upon q
stove badly burning her face, and has just re
covered.
The victim of the horrible casualty died al
midnight from her injuries.

NEW LAW FIRM.
John c. Welty and Judge j. w.
Albaugh Form Law Part
nership.

John G. Welty and Judge j. W. AL
baugh have formed law partnership,
and will have their offices at the familiar
one of Mr. Welty in South Market street.
The partnership will make one of the
strongest law firms in Canton. Mr.
Welty is so well known TO the people Of
Canton that he needs no introduction,
while in former years Judge Albaugh
was equally well known. He was on the
circuit bench and filed the position in a
manner that reflected great credit upon
himself and the democratic parry, and the
bench. Judge Albaugh is an able lawyer
and safe counselor

VERY LITTLE INTEREST
Taken By Republicans in the Circuit
Judgeship-Col Kibler
Nominated

The republicans of this judicial district met
at GAINESVILLE Thursday to nominate a candi
date to oppose Judge Thayer of this city for
the chair on the circuit bench. Very little
interest was taken in the matter as the re-
publiCans recognize that Judge Thayer will be
the next judge. Two counties sent no dele
gates and only two out of the fifteen counties
in the district were represented by full dele
cations, Joseph Devin of Mt. Vernon, Col
c. II. Kibler of Newark, Frank Taggart of
Wooster, and T, NJ. Helea, Of UhrChsville
were the only candidates Upon the third
ballot Kibler was nominated.
The republicans themselves in this part of
the state are very poorly satisfied with this ar
rangement and many of the republican at
tOrneys will vote for Judge Thayer In the
event of Kiber's election, which is hardly
possible, Muskingum, Licking and COshoctOn,
the three southern counties of the district
would have all of the judges This would
make it very unhandy for lawyers in the
northern part of the district.

counts of the affidavit, and two for &C
quittal. The next ballot the vote was L

during the entire night. Charles Bowen
was the juror who thought the other
eleven men were wrong. This morning
a compromise was effected 1t being
agreed that verdict of guilty should be
returned on the first two counts, and a
verdict of not guilty on the third count
This was accordingly done, and after re-
oeiving the verdict, Mayor Rice dis
charged the jury. The first count charged
Sullivan with keeping a disorderly house,
and the second with keeping n place
where disorderly characters congregated.
The third count, on which he was found
not guilty, charged him with keeping
the bar-room open on Sunday. Mayor

THE MINERS GO OUT.
The 1000 Abused LabOrers in

LAY DOWN THEIR PICKS.

Refusal to Grant an Increase as the
Wage Workers Their Demand-A
Movement of Great Moment.
Massillon, o., October TRUE to
their determination, every miner en-
ployed in the mines near Massillon came
out on strike this morning.
Nothing positive has been heard from
Clinton, but the miners and operators are
generally of the opinion that these men
are out also. 1t Is thought that the strike
will be short, indeed, as the miners are
in no condition to remain idle for any
length Of time, and will probably settle
within a few days.
The men demand go cents, and an in
creased scale, while the operators offer
but SO cents and the old scale. This
affects 1000 men directly.
