Spencer.

Last week we called at Spencer. The
village has first class railway accoma-
dations, fine school and church buildings
with good business houses and fine res
licences.
S. W. Clark is the proprietor of the Ex-
change bank, which by the way appears
to be well patronized. The Hotel De
Payne is largely patrOnized by
the commercial travellers, which is
a pointer that they are served with good
meals and clean beds.
The town supports two hardware
stores, one general store, mllliner shop,
notion store, grain warehouse, feed and
exchange mill, and every branch of
trade necessary for the accommodation Of
the people. The village is situated in
rich farming district, and is favored
with beautiful scenery in the distance to
the east. Such an enterprising people
should take measures to incorporate as a
hamlet or village in order that internal
improvements might be ordered. The
condition Of the sidewalks is not very in
viting and at the same time little dan
gerous for stranger to attempt to walk
over. The interests of the town are very
closely allied with Wellington, hence,
they take great deal of interest in our
welfare, The Enterprise appears to be
the official organ of the village, as it is
largely taken there and the list is sill
growing. The people are very courteous
and use every means to make it pleasant
to visitors, which will serve as an ad-
vertisement to call people there, and in
time make it one of the first towns on
the Western Reserve.

PLEAD GUILTY..
Jerry Sullivan, the Postoffice Burglar, Sen
fenced to Two and One-half Years,

Jerry Sullivan, the Postoffice Burglar, Sen
fenced to Two and One-half Years.
Wednesday afternoon last was the
date set for the trial Of Jerry Sullivan,
the man captured in barn near Nor
walk by the police of that city and taken
to Cleveland and charged with rob-
blng the postof1ice on the night
Of March IS at this place. The office
here was broken into, the safe blown
open and money and stamps taken to the
value Of $1,700.
A few days later package contai ming
postage stamps was found secreted in
barn near NOrwalk. They were taken to
the city, and the police decided to detail
special policemen to guard the premises
and see If the thief would return and
claim his property. Two nights later
man entered the barn and was captured
and taken to Jail at Norwalk.
Postmaster Arner went over and identi-
fed the stamps as his private mark was
on them. The prisoner claimed that he
was just entering the barn to find a place
In which to sleep, and that he
knew nothing about the stamps, but it
seems his story was not given much
credit, and he was turned over to the
United States authorities, charged with
robbing the pOstoffice at Wellington.
up to the time the trial was
called, it was supposed that the prisoner
was going to make fight to regain his
liberty, but he weakened and instructed
his attorney to enter a plea of guilty.
and threw himself on the mercy of the
court. Judge Kicks then sentenced
Sullivan to thirty months in the peni-
tentiary.
In looking over the photographs in the
rogues' gallery at the police station it
was ascertained that Sullivan had been
sentenced to serve term OF three years.
in the penitentiary from Cuyahoga
county, four years ago for robbery.
The postage stamps carried away by
the burglars have been returned to Post
master Arner. They we're held by the
United States marshal until after the
trial of Sullivan.
The police in Cleveland arrested
man in a dive, who gave his name as
William Mel ler, Of indianapolis, and
turned him over to the United States
authorities who placed a charge against
him for robbery. The officials think
that they have sufficient evidence against
him that he was with Jerry Sullivan in
rObbing the post Office at this place.
Suspicion first pointed to him as h, ap-
peared to be greatly interested in Sulli-
vans welfare while he was confined in
Jail.
L. G. Stemple, of the American house,
was requested to come to Cleveland,
Thursday, and among six men he identi-
fled Meiler as being a man registering a
few days previous to the robbery. He had
over 500 on his person and portion of
it concealed in his boot. Meiler will
now have an opportunity to show where
he was on the night of the robbery, at
the least.

A Blaze.

Tuesday forenoon the boys on the school
ground observed heavy cloud Of smoke
rising from the second floor of the north
east corner room in the residence of Jno.
Roser. The fire department was quickly
on hand. On account Of the flames hay
ing reached the gravel roof that had been
covered over with a slate roof, it was
with some difficulty that they could be
got at, but the siding was quickly re-
moved and water from the hosepipe had
a telling effect and soon extinguished the
flames. The origin of the fire is still
unknown as there had been no fire in that
part Of the house for several weeks past.
The loss by fire and damage by water
will reach $500 to $500.
Mr.. and Mrs. ROser desire to extend
thanks to the firemen and all who as
sisted in saving their home.
