NO FEES
Unless the Sheriff Delivers His
Prisoner Alive to the Peniten-
tiary Warden.

Since Thomas Edmonds was. sentenced
to imprisonment for life for murder at
Youngstown, the change in him is re-
markable. Prior to the sentence he was
stolid, manifested an utter Indifference
to his fate, refused to speak except to his
counsel, and passed his waking hours
playing with string. Since the sem
tence he talks freely, plays cards with the
other prisoners and s one of the most
cheerful inmates Of the jail. The prison
er is being closely guarded, as under the
laws of the state the sheriff is required to
deliver him alive to the warden of the
penitentiary and secure his certificate be-
fore he can receive his fees. The costs in
the case will reach 50, 800, and as soon as
the cost bills are completed Edmonds will
be taken to the penitentiatry to serve
his life term. Several years ago James
Campbell, a murderer, committed suicide
in jail, and the Mahoning county sheriff
was out Of pocket his fees, and since ther
prisoners have been closely watched.

WEARING FINE CLOTHES
BURGLARS FITTHEMsELvEs OUT
AT HIRsCBBEIMERs.
They Alec Secure sAbout S5oin Money
But Prove 20 Be Bnnssefs " hen
1t Comes to TackiiDg
Hiu SAFE.

Burglars made successful raid on
Hirschheimer' big clothing establish
ment in the public squareSaturday night.
There were evidently two men engaged
In the work, and their plans were we'll
laid. A ladder belonging TO the store
had been left at the top Of the stairway
leading to the offices on the second floor
Of the building directly north of the
Hirschheimer stores. Over the landing
is sky light. The energetic burglars
placed the ladder against the wall and
mounted TO the skylight, which they
easily raised, and reaching the roof they
drew up the ladder and proceeded over
the roof to the next skylight, which they
raised and dropping the ladder slid into
the darkened depths below. They pro-
badly expected to alight In pile of up
to-date golf suits, but they were fooled
The keen house-breakers had dropped in
to stock brokers' office, which was bare
with the exception Of blackboard full
Of figures, ticker which had run out Of
ticks, and stove.
Then the burglars broke open door
leading to an empty room which young
barrister had vacated on account of cold
weather and an absence Of clients and
coal. Seeing no chance for gain here, they
again assembled to the roof and with
their ladder tackled the next skylight to
the south. They wrenched the big sashes
from their hinges, and dropping the lad
der they entered what proved to be the
second floor Of the Hirschheimer store
The rest was easy. They descended tc
the store room and were soon in clover
They pried open the money drawer and
secured about S50 Then they carried
clothing to the second floor where they
fitted the mselves with warm winter suits
not failing also to put on new suits Of
underwear and taking sufficient extra
supply for the winter. A silk lined over
coat for each was removed from the stack
also extra pairs of trousers, and wher
they were equipped like Broadway swells
the busy burglars produced their drill,
and jimmies and assaulted the safe. A
clean cut hole was drilled just below tn,
handles and quantity of powder insert
ed More powder fell to the floor thar
entered the hole. Before the match was
applied the fellows were evidently
scared away. The safe was not locked
and the powder hole did not pierce the
door. 1t was the work of bungling ANA
teurs. The police have been notified.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE STARK COUNTY BOARD
OF VISITORS
To the Charitable and Correctional
Institutions is Submitted 10 the
Judges of Common Pleas Court
and the State Board of Charities.


To the Honorable Joseph p Byers, Seore-
tary Of the Board of State Charities,
Columbus, and
To the Honorable Judges Of the Court Of
Common Pleas, of Stark County, Ohio:
The Board of Visitors to the charitable
and correctional institutions Of Stark
County, Ohio, submit the following re-
port for the year ending November l.,
1897:
The committee has made the usual num-
Der of visits to the institutions of the
county during the past year. 1t has
found the condition of the Fairmount
Children's home to be most commendable.
The cottages are scrupulously neat and
orderly, the inmates in good health. In
one cottage there are nineteen boys, and
the cleanliness Of their house spoke well
for their training. A few cases of scarlet
fever developed this fall in children,
brought from the New Lisbon inflrmary
but in the hospital building they were so
isolated from the other children that the
infection don't spread. The health of the
Home generally is remarkably good. The
visiting committee wishes to call the at
tention of the trustees to the inadequate
supply of water for flushing sewer pipes,
as also for fire protection, and recon-
mend that the deficiency be supplied
The committee believes the Inflrmary to
be in as good condition as the dilapidated
buildings permit. The building for the
insane and the hospital are in perfect or
der, although the former is much crowd
ed The committee found the Infirmary
building lacking in water supply, es-
pecially for use in the hospital, and in
view of the Importance of this matter
made a special report to the Judges Of
Common Pleas Court, urging the Com
missioners to immediate action. As q
result the committee can now report the
deficiency remedied by the building of a
tank.
The Workhouse is in good condition.
The necessity for separate room for
women in the County Jail still exists.
The committee begs leave to call atten-
ton to this need as a very important one
from a moral point of view.
The committee sent a report to the con-
ference held in Toledo, and elected del
egate to represent them in that body.

night three masked men broke into the
house and pried open the door to Har-
tong's bed room. The old man heard
and saw the men and made an effort to
rise and resist them, but blow from
and he was an easy victim for the mid
night rascals. In strong leather belt
which he wore about his person he had
q 800 bill, new, 525 crisp 81 bills OF
the latest issue and about s175 in So
and $40 bills. This the robbers took,
leaving their victim lying In pool of
blood on the floor of his rooiii.

and found the old man as described
They assisted him in every way possible
He talked incoherently at times and
again was perfectly plain in his descrip

lived alone for some time, prepared his
own meals, and was somewhat Of re
cluse. There is no clue to the robbers
The Canton police were notified.

FORGED NOTE.
Malvern Man is in Trouble at AL
lance and Enters Plea of
Guilty.

Oliver X. Aldrich of Malvern was ar
rested Thursday by Constable Hogue
at Alliance on a warrant charging him
with uttering forged note for the sum
of S21.75 on the Sandy Valley Bank Of
Malvern. The note was given in part
payment of debt to A. S. g. A. A.
Armstrong Of Malvern and purported to
be signed by Charles Leyda of the same
place and indorsed by o. r. Aldridge.
1t seems that Armstrong Bros. had
sold Aldridge stock of goods for a store
in Malvern, the conditions of the sale
being that the goods were not to be re-
moved from the place until full payment
had been made for them. Aldridge,
however, sold the goods to the U. S. Auc-
tion Syndicate store of Alliance and was
preparing to leave for Cincinnati, when
his plans were discovered. Before JUS
tice Trail he confessed his guilt and was
confined in the city prison pending fur
ther Investigation. 1t is possible the
matter may be settled.

tai. Here he patiently watches and waits
for some slgn--sone change for better or
for worse.
Miss Mabel Mckinley, whose piquant
and vivacious personality was always
source of great pleasure to Mother Nc
Kinley, was recognized by the enfeebled
sufferer, who held her hand and gave other
indications that she knew her.
All members of the group which has
been constantly at her bedside feel mex
pressibly relieved and all realize certain
sense of fulfilled desire since Mrs. Nc
Kinley recognized each one yesterday. 1t
was short time before the noon hour
when she,raised her shrunken arms, and
those near thought they noticed gleam
of intelligence in her eyes. Mr.. Charles
r. Miller standing at the foot of the bed,
saw this return Of the almost extinguish-
ed spark and hastened to the side of his
stricken relative. He leaned over to kiss
her cold brow and then he felt himself
held for moment in her embrace OF re-
cognition. She held him for moment,
all the while making inarticulate soun DIS
in her effort to speak, then she released
| him. Her son, Abner Mckinley was
greeted in like manner and every member
of that faithful group was recognized,
perhaps for the last time, by the Presi-
dents noble mother. 1t was indeed a ray
Of sunshine let in upon their darkened
hearts.
FAST TRIP HOME.
