AFFLICTED FAMILY.
THE HEAVY HAND OF POVERTY
AND SUFFERING
Is Laid Upon a Family Residing In
Allen Street-A Mother Refuses TO
Part with the LifeIess Body of
Her Child.

The line Of poverty and aflliction is
pretty tightly drawn about the family
circle OF Abraham Gutsoher, who resides
with his family as No. 80 Allen street. A
few weeks ago one Of the seven children,
young son, broke his leg and is confined
to the house Within few days follow
ing, diphtheria visited the family and
one Of the Children died while the remain
ing children end the father lay in a row
of three beds side by side In one room.
The condition of affairs was brought to
the notice of Mrs william Goodman, Of
South Market street. who is q member Of
the Sixth Ward committee for the poor
in connection with the Associated Chari-
ties. Investigation proved the family to
be in an awful condition of suffering, and
she brought the matter before Township
Trustee Miller, who arranged to have gro
oeries delivered TO the porch Of the house
so the family would not starve. Applica-
tion was also made for nurse, but the
trustee said he could not furnish one, as
there were no funds with which 80 pay
for the services. Mrs. Goodman made an
effort to secure female nurse, but 1t was
necessary to tell the true condition of
affairs, that the family did not havs
enough clothing, or even clean rags for
use and that things generally were in a
bad sanitary condition, hence no one
would go. Through the efforts of neigh
bors young man named Phillip CLOSER
agreed to go with the promise that he
should receive pay from some source for
his services, and although handicapped
by want of bed clothing and other ar.
ticles in the household, he is doing the
best he can.
Dr. Hart, of South Market street, il
rendering medical assistance and when
the child died last Wednesday, the mother
did not want to part with it. She was in
Guenced to allow the burial without
trouble only when told that its lifeles'
form In bed beside the other sick onet
would endanger their lives all the more
Everything possible is now being done
for the family.

Secretary Herman Loefller, Of the Stark
county workhouse, is recent interview,
said:
THE institution is not selfsustaining,
it is true, but yearly it is gaining ground.
During the pest year the income exceeded
that of last, but the expenditures have
been greater, mainly for the institutions s
improvement. The building has been
equipped with hospital, the cell depart
ment in the upper story has been fur
nished, a stable erected and the grounds
generally improved with flag walks and
curbiug. A grading outfit, including
horses, was also purchased. During the
summer convicts were employed on the
county roads grading and filling, and the
Fulton road leading from jackson town.
ship into Canton has but recently been
COMPLETED. IL is now one of the best
roads In Stark county and the value Of
the Improvement is estimated at $4,000.
Formrly the annual cost of keeping this
highway in repair was from $1,000 to
81 500. A force Of men Is now employed
on the Louisville road and fill is being
made in front of the workhouse. TIE
| first work laid out for early spring is the
grading of the Marshall hill west of Mas
sillon. Quarters for the prisoners have
been fitted up in the old Stoolmiller
brewery, sheds erected for the horses and
all necessary preparations completed, The
grade would have been made this fail but
for the limited number of oonvicts. But
a small force could be employed on the
public highways as large force was
necessary in the quarry, getting out stone
which could be sold to good advantage.
There are at present about fifty inmates
under sentence at the works and the ma
iority are worked in the quarry. Unless a
new quarry is opened in the spring, how
ever, the entire convict force will be EN-.
ployed on county roads"

THE PROBATE OFFICE.
THE BUSINESS DONE THERE
STEADILY INCREASING.
The Little Corner Where Marriage
Licences are Granted Furnishes
Lots of Amusement for the Ge-
niaI Deputy and Others.


For several years past there has been q
general increase In the general business
of the Probate court. The number of
estates administered last year was
greatly in excess of the number the year
previous, and Deputy Aungst states that
from appointments made thus far, this
years administrations will exceed those
of 1895. An increased number Of guar
dians have been appointed, but the most
noticeable increase is in the applications
for marriage licenses. Licenses to marry
are granted at little desk at one corner
of the probate office and this department
furnishes, usually, the amusement for the
office. Men of nearly all nations and
positions in life apply or tine necessary
documents in oil manner Of amusing
ways. Some make known their wants
boldly, while others are strictly conf
Dental ard wish the fact of their applica-
tion suppressed for several weeks. The
bashful young man, however, is the
most am musing individual with whom the
probate officials have to deal. He presents
himself at the office early in most cases
and usually loiters about awaiting a
moment when the office is free from
visitors, when ne will make known his
business. Not infrequently he is inter
rupted by the entrance of some individual
and Immediately becomes as mum as an
oyster, and vainly endeavors to assume
an unconcerned expression. This young
man has been frequently known to hang
about the office for hours and on sevearl
occasions the intended bride has waited
patiently in the corridor. Occasionally
attempts are made by youths, under age,
to secure licenses without being accom-
panied by parent, and all manner OF
claims are made. The officials becom e
accustomed to dealing with these would
be perjurers and usually can pick them
out at a glance Arrests are seldom made,
but refusals and warnings are frequent.
