The railroad men Of the world are
watching the trial with interest, as it
means to them decreased cost and
weight OF cars, and vastly increased
carrying capacity. Not piece of wood
is used in the construction of the new
cars, and their lightness and durability
will enable them to stand any amour.
Of hard usage and heavy loading.
The Railway Review, IN detailed
description of the new cars, says tina.
the most radical departure from pres
ent methods Of construction Is in the
| floor and stills. which are practically
one series Of channels, ii Al inches
wide, with eight-inch fanges down
ward, the fianges forming the stills Of
the car and the back Of the web MAX
| ing the floor Of the car.
The channels are secured together by
tie rods passing through the flanges
near the web. Each rod also passes
Through struts Of malleable castings fit
ted between the fianges of each channel
which support the webs of channels
at short intervals. SO that the stiffness
of the plate is not alone depended upon
to sustain the floor.
The car is virtually constructed in
the form Of truss, Of which the floor
itself forms the top or compression
member. This keeps the body square
without braces or gusset plates, thus
making a much lighter construction
possible than where an Independent
hoor is used.
In test made by the Carnegie Steel
company the car easily sustained So

Ing the body alone, which weighs H.
$50 pounds. the load was over ten to

1S 900 pounds was coupled to loco
motive and rapidly shifted back and
orth over four-track crossing which

Without any perceptible vibration of the

The weight Of this car is from two to
Dur thousand pounds less than that of
wooden cars. usually constructed for
nd rated at 10000 pounds capacity
bhich rating is sometimes in excess Of
heir elastic limit. 1t is claimed by the
builders that the cost of maintenance
this car, leaving out Of account the
heels, axles, journal bearings and
puplers will be less than Is per cent

The Japanese Nose

In Japan the nose Is the only feature
which attracts attention. The nose de-
termines the beauty or ugliness Of the
face, according as 1t is big or small
This is probably due to the fact that
differences in noses constitute about
the only distinction between one
Japanese face and another. In Japan
a lady who has huge proboscis Is
always great beauty and u rcigning
belle. -Tacoma Ledger.

Third street A short time after IL was
decided TO place prisoners of the work
house TO do work on the county roads,
the county commissioners and Superin-
tendent Pontius got their heads together
to devise some means Of carrying prison
ers TO and from their place of work.
The wagon about finished is the result
of their conference. In appearance the
vehicle resembles q small-sized ventilated
railway fruit car. 1t is eighteen feet long
and seven and a half feet wide, and the
sides, top and all are made of heavy solid
oak. Seats are arranged along each side
and a removable table the entire length
of the wagon will be used TO serve rations
upon. The outfit will include a gasoline
stove and in a large box between the axles
the tools and provisions will be carried
The colors will be rcd, white and blue

MUST PAY Up.
SUPREME COURT DECIDES THE
SEWER CASE.
Stark Comfy Now Obliged to Pay
Over TO the City a Heavy Sum
Costs will Probably Fall on the
Petitioners.

Ex-City Solicitor Peter ]. Collins, re-
ceived, Wednesday morning, a telegram
from Columbus, announcing that in the
case of Zachariah Schumacher and other
Massillonians against Stark county and
the city Of Canton, the supreme court had
sustained the decision of the circuit court.
This case meets the point whether the
county must pay the city of Canton the
balance Of &c, 500 sc, alleged to be due
on a contract for relieving the court
house of its sewage. The county COM
missioners made contract with William
Dannemiller and William Volkman,
representing the city council, to pay the
SlO,O ss the county's share for con-
structing sewer. One-third of this
amount, SO, 1888. 33, has already been
paid. The suit was brought by Massil-
lon parties to prevent the payment of my
thing further and Judge McCarty decided
against the city. 1t was claimed that
the commissioners had no legal right to
make such a contract, but that the city
had a right to charge the county simply
the same amount per foot front that
other people were assessed. The law pro-
yides that the cost for constructing sewers
may be assessed per front foot, by valua-
zion of property or by benefits. The Mas
sillon people who raised the objection
contended that the system Of paying for
the sewers must be made uniformly, and
that one party could not be charged per
foot front and another party ASSESSED by
benefits. The lower court granted an in
junction. The case then went to circuit
court Judge Jenner and the circuit
court did not concur in the opinion of
the lower court, and held that the con-
tract with the county was an inducement
held out TO the city to proceed with the
sewer, and as such the commissioners had
perfect right to make the contract The
petition of the Massillon people was
Therefore dismissed. Judge Jenner, in
court, said: "If the city council had
said that the sewer was about to re 0uilt
ard that $4,000 would be the county's
share, and an agreement was given by
the commissioners that they would pay
$1,000 that would certainly bo legal.
The facts seem 70 be that after making
the contract with the county, it was
agreed by the eoun Gil TO assess the cost
per foot front on other property.
The case was taken to the supreme
court by the contending parties, and, as
stated, the opinion held by Judge Jenner
was sustained. That makes it final, and
the county of stark must now pay to the
city Of Canton the remaining SO, 666. GO,
which is due, together with interest,
which will run it up to nearly $4,000.
The costs in the case are heavy, and
prominent attorney stated this afternoon
that in his Judgment, the costs would
fall upon the parties who brought the
action originally, Schum aker and others
of Massillon.
1t will be remembered that Solicitor
Collins carried the case through circuit
court and won it there quite hardly.
He also briefed the case for the supreme
court and his game fight and substan-
tial victory accrue to the benefit of the

BARNS DEMOLISHED.
Work of the Storm North of Canton
miraculous Escape of People
Who Were in the Storm.

Commissions John Kreighbaum
reports serious damage in Jackson town
ship, by the storm, Monday. He is re-
sponsible for the statement that there
were hail stones as big as hickory nuts.
Windows were broken in the church at
New Berlin, the roof Of John Franks
barn was torn off, as were other barns
near MiddlebranCh. Mr.. Sylvanus
Schweitzer reports that barn belonging
to Kate Ringer, near Hartivlle was razed
to the ground; Frank Schwartz's stable
was blown down and the end of his house
badly damaged. Barns belonging to
william Boston, Mrs. Michael Miller,
Henry Holbeck and others were more or
less damaged. In the barn of Joseph
Lower were seven head of cattle, four
horses and his boy. Lower was just
about to enter when the gale that de-
molished the barn took him up and rolled
himsaround over his farm. He was not
badly hurt. Only a COW was hurt by the
falling of the barn.
Mr.. Schweitzer's farm adjoining
seemed to be just outside the path of the
cyclone, and was not dam aged. The
residents losses also included valuable
orchards, and the storm was the worst
that has been known in that section for
many years.

SKIPPED OUT.
An Alliance Decorator Taken in by a
Smooth Stranger Who Pur-
loins Valuable Recipes.

]. Radcliff, young English decorator,
of Alliance, is out several good recipes
by being too friendly with a stranger.
Radcliff is decorator. and for tlong
time has been studying to get formula
for glazing brick. After longl expert
menting he found a glazing formula
which increased the worth of brick from
S35 to $40 per 1000, so he says. Last
Thursday there came to town asman who
gave his name as Douglass. He formed
an acquaintance with Radcliff, telling
him he was interested in brick making.
He wanted to see Radcliff's recipes, which
the latter loaned to him, although he told
him he had no other copy. The man
seemed to have plenty Of money. He also
got Radcliff to recommend him at a
boarding house. When the young
Englishman went to the boarding house,
he found the fellow gone with his best
recipes and couple of memorandum
books, and leaving him to pay the board
bill Radcliff says the recipes were worth
500 per week to him. He has been here
experimenting for two years.

IN A SWAMP.
CRAZY MAN WANDERING IN
PLAIN TOWNSHIP.
He Is Found by Martin Halter and is
Taken to the Infirmary-Says He
Lives i'm Akron and Somebody
Wants to Kill Him.

On Wednesday young man about
81 or % years of age, and apparently
well dressed, called at the residence of
Albert Koehn, who lives in Plain town
ship, about two miles northwest Of the
city, and asked for a drink Of water. 1t
was given him and he then asked for per-
mission to rest awhile. He went out
about the barn and laid himself down.
Mrs. Koehn paid no more attention to
him. but went about her work in the
house Pretty soon she heard cries from
him, whereupon she went to the barn.
The man appeared to be raving crazy,
and when he saw her he exclaimed:
Madam, who is this running around
your house? They want to shoot me.
They want to kill me and that would be
murder, and that is something 1 never
committed"
When Mr.. Eoehn came home for dinner
he thought the man was crazy
and suggested to his wife that he be
taken to the inflrmary. The man heard
the suggestion of Mr.. Koehn, and he
demonstrated, saying: Don't take me
to the infirmary. have as good blood
in me as you have, and don { need to go
to the infrmary." He became scared
and ran away from the Koehn farm, and
hid himself in a swamp near By. Here
he was found by Martin Halter. When
found he was crying and seemed very
much worried. He imagines everybody
wants to kill him. Mr.. Halter then
loaded him up and took him to the in
frmary. His name has not yet been as
certained. He says he lives in Akron
and that he knows the street and number,
but he won't go back. The nan is crazy,
beyond question and an investigation is
apt to be made as to his mental condition !
by the probate court.

HAVE TO CONFESS.
CANDIDATES MAKE RETURNS
OF EXPENDITURES,
A Little Item In F. J. Benskiu's Ac.
count That is Creating Great Deal
of Comment-Upham Holding
His Under Advisement.

Il
His Under Amusement.
At the county clerks office three candi-
dates who ran for office at the recent Re-
publican primary election, have fled
their certificates Of expenditures as re-
quired by the Garfield law, which was
passed April s. The law requires each
candidate to turn in an itemized account
and swear to IL. II he swears falsely to
any single item or fails to include any
item of expenditures, in his itemized
statement, he not only makes his nomin-
alton void, but subjects himself to
heavy fine or imprisonment.
The law requires that accounts be fled
within ten days after the holding of the
primary. The primary was held April Is
and Tuesday is the last day In which to
hand in the account. There were about
., 500 votes cast and the law allows the
expenditure of 500 for 5000 voters and
s1.50 for each hundred beyond that. Any
candidate who has spent more money
than that to get nominated is not really
nominated.
Charles G. Upham put in his bill pf
particulars, but has taken it out again.
OF course it didn't run over the sum
that Is within the law, but Charlie is
lookin g over 1t again to see that it is
all right, so his figures cannot be OBJ
aimed from the files.
Judge Henry A. Wise swears that his
nomination cost him SIS, which he paid
to the Republican committee
Henry Bixler brings in a r statement
that it cost him s14.IO. Among his
items is his small fee to the committee.
K. NJ. Hershey got box of cigars; and
there is another interesting Item as fol-
lows: James Hurst, livery hire and
self, So"
+. j. Benskin's statement gives forth
some interesting information. His as.
sessment cost him $40. He spent a good
deal OF money among the newspapers
for cards and announcements. and had
'sundries" that amounted to 81. An
item in the list is Albert Ellis, s2O
Another that is of great Importance, and
seems to have been joint affair, reads

remem bered that Ramsey and Barber

gates, Norris and Grant Alter

Alliance, O. April 2s.-(Special. )-Ihe
Republican convention of the eighteenth
district held here today, developed into
a love feast. Mckinley was nominated
for the presidency everv fifteen minutes,
and there were wild cheers each time
The convention was called TO order at
II O'Clock, and Judge William r. Day Of
Canton, was made chairman. Judge Day
made a smooth speech, which seemed to
lean somewhat towards Mckinley. James
Froggett and william Hostetter were
made secretaries.
Just after the convention had been or
ganized, Thomas r. Morgan entered the
hall He was wildly .cheered 1t didn't
cost anything. The delegates, nearly
every man ofwhom had knitted him when
he wanted to be nominated for congress,
two years ago, insisted that he make a
speech. Mr.. Morgan made it and reas.
serted his Republicanism.
Judge Young, of Lisbon, placed in
nomination Mckinley for president, and
r. W. Tayler for congress. The nomina-
ton was made unanimous. Mr.. Tayler
was sent for and made speech, telling
how he had saved the country and that
he had to hurry back to Washington to
do it some more. He didn't say how it
happened that he harpooned Mr.. Morgan
two years ago, but he created great ex-
citement by nominating Mckinley for
president
The resolutions adopted are lengthy
and as meaningless as the plank inserted
at the Columbus convention by McKin-
ley. The platform becomes interesting
at its close and nominates Mckinley for
president and endorses Tayler's record in
congress.
Judge King, of Youngstown, made a
speech after the resolutions were report
ed and nominated Mckinley for presi-
dent.
Caleb Wick, of Youngstown, and W. L
Smith of Columbiana, We're named as
delegates to the convention at st. Lonis
with NJ A. Norris, of Youngstown, and
]. J. Grant, of Canton, alternates. They !
were instructed to nominate Mckinley for
president.
wK. Miller, of Canton, was named as a
presidential elector with instructions to |
vote for Mckinley, whether he was NOM
mated or not.
After nominating Mckinley for presi-
dent, the convention adjourned.
