Judge Ong,s Troubles.

= Judge 0ng, OF the common pleas bench
in Cuyahoga county has had consider
able trouble wittfthe Warwick Electric
Light Pant, located in this place. A
few weeks ago he found P. B. Warwick,
ex-electrician Of the company, guilty of
contempt of court, and sentenced him to
serve time in Jail and pay fine. The
case was carried to the district court and
reversed. When Warwick was to be
tried the court appointed an attorney to
defend the dignity of the state, and the
attorney presented his bill to the county
con. missioners for allowance, which
was rejected, and the circuit
court has now affirmed the opin-
ion OF the board. Judge Ong has exper-
fenced an unusual amount Of trouble In
protecting Receiver Hart in ordering a
sale made OF the plant. So it occasional
ly happens that even common pleas
judge has yexations in attempting to ad-
minister what he considers Justice.

OF Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Saunders, aged
nineteen. The life Of the deceased was
mostly lived in Wellington. Here she
graduated from our schools; was member
of the First Congregational Church;
Young Peoples Religious and Beneyo-

lady will recall her to Wellington
people as one of unusually sweet temper,
cheerful, constant and hopeful ways, and
loved by all who knew her.
"She hath gone In the sprlng-time of life.
Ere her sky had been dnmed by a cloud;
While her heart with the raptures of love was
yet rife,
And the hopes of her youth we're unbowed.
There is weeping on earth for the lost,
There Is b0wing In grief TO the ground;
But rejoicing and praise with the sancti6ed
host,
For spirit in paradise found.
Tho brightness has passed from the earth.
Yet a star Is newborn In the sky.
AND soul hath gene home to the land Of its
birth,
Where are pleasures and fullness Of Joy:
And new harp is strung and new song is
To the breezes that pass DER the gardens Of

On December 10, 1896, aged eleven
months, Helen Lucille, only child Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Byron Storrow.
The above death is peculiarly grievous,

to an age Of budded brightness and
beauty, tendrils Of affection and pride
had taken deep root in the hearts of fond

Of unusual promise and its parental care

Of usefulness and repaying love. Much
sympathy is felt for the stricken parents.

MUST PASTOR HOWARD cor
The Reverend Gentleman Prefers to Preserve
Discfeet Siicnce for a Few DAYS

Discreet Silence for . Few Days
The following dispatch was published
in Saturday mornings issue, dated from
Saratoga, N. Y, where the Presbyte-
rian general assembly is at present in
session.:
''At the afternoon session the judi
ciary committee reported on the Los
Angeles case, in which the presbytery
of Los Angeles suspended Rev. Burt
Estes Howard. The synod reversed the
presbytery, and the judicial commit
tee recommended the reversal of the
synod"
If such report can be interpreted as
exactly accurate, it must mean that the
present pastor of the First Presbyterian
church will have to esign. The rev.
erend gentleman was approached yes
terday by Herald reporter at his house
on the corner of Twenty-ninth and
Orchard avenue. Mr.. Howard feels that
he is not at present in a position to
make any statement at all on the sub
ject. From private kilograms he has
received, together with the information
conveyed in the above dispatch, he is
in state of doubt as to what the actual
decision of the general assembly has
really been. The pastor regards the
Associated Press telegram as ambigu-
Gus, and the private dispatches he has
received leave him in uncertainty. I'm
til he receives the definite and authentic
ruling Of the assembly, Mr.. Howard pre-
fers to maintain discreet silence.
