ADMITS WEAKNESS.
HANNA KNOWS THAT HIS ENE-
MIES HAVE HIM EUCHERED
But Thinks They Will Not Play Their
Cards Properly Because of Differ
ence of Opinion al to How IL
Shou be Done.

Washington Dec. 1S.--(Special. y
"There are enough unfriendly Republi-
cans in the Legislature to beat me. They
hate me cordially enough to do almost
anything to defeat me but l don't think
they will" That is what Senaotr Han
ma told an acquaintance yesterday in a
burst Of confidence.
Said the man to whom the Senator
spoke: "They can't agree among them
selves what they had better do. II they
could agree, why someone besides
Marcus Alonzo Hanna would be the next
senator from Ohio. The Democrats with
whom they have conferred insist upon
having a silver man, and that is where
they disagree, not only with the Demo-
carts but among themselves.
The senator has been expecting n deal
between the anti Hanna Republicans and
the Democrats ever since the fact became
known that the Foraker Republican
showed sign Of kicking over the traces.
1t is only within the past few days that
he has become satisfied that he will win
through the inability of his enemies to
agree among themselves.
He felt so we'll physically and politi-
cally last night that he went to hear some
grand opera singing. He expects to go
to Ohio on Tuesday. The time between
the adjournment Of congress and his 60
ing will be spent in guessing Incidentally
he and the President will do little
consulting how offices may, be distributed
SO as to do the most good when the tug
of war comes at Columbus. The senator
will probably appear at the state capital
before the fight reaches the crisis
The senator and his friends rather ex-
pect their enemies to agree not to vote
when the ballot for senator Is taken.
They will discover whether their guess
is right as soon as Senator Burkes name
is called when the joint ballot is taken.
If he keeps quiet there will be no Hanna
votes cast. No quorum will then have
voted and another ballot will have to be
taken, and so on until somebody weak
ems. The Hanna men profess to believe
that when the crucial point comes the
antis will lose their nerve and vote for
the senator.

that they can prove that they came to
Akron about midnight form Sterling,
which they reached over the @. l.. & W.
railway. Both seem honest and intelli-
gent and not at all the sort of men who
hold up trains and murder. The police
felt It their duty to take them into Gus
tody, however, as they answer to the de-
scription of the men wanted, as sent out
from Berea The authorities are inn
pressed with the straightforward stories
Of the young men, and they expect them
to establish their innocence without
difficulty.
The boys have sent the following mes
sage to their home in Massillon: III.
Schaffer and left Massillon for Akron
In search Of employment. Left Massillon
at about 9;20 p. m. We arrived at Sterl-
ing at II go p. m. When we reached Ak
ron we met an officer and he directed us
to hotel, We had just registered and
were going to bed when arrested on sus-
picion. We are perfectly innocent and
hope we will be released soon.

FREE SILVER WINS.
Ohio State Grange Resolves in Its
Favor-Slap at Hanna by the
Governor.

Columbus, Dec. 1S.-(Special. In
spite of the efforts of Assistant Secretary
of Agriculture J. H. Bingham, who was
present, and Col. W. W. Miller, state
ofliceholder under Governor Mckinley,
the Ohio State Grange adopted free
silver resolution. 1t not only demands
the free use of both gold and silver as pri-
mary money, but opposes the retirement
of greenbacks.
Governor Bushnell stated yesterday
that after the Inauguration for his second
term he proposed to reappoint as a mem
ber of his staff Colonel A. L. Conger, of
Akron, who attacked Senator Hanna in
the campaign in a number Of open let
ters. AS he has been strongly urged by
Senator Hanna's friends not to do so, the
announcement is interpreted to mean
that he is not courting peace with the
senator.

BORN CONFESSED.

Remain During the
Holidays.

Otto Born, who is now in the work
house, was brought before Mayor Sherer
of Louisville on a charge filed by Allison
Housley. Mr.. Housley's younger brother
had ridden horseback to Osnaburg Satur-
day evening and tied his horse in the
main portion of the town. When he re-
turned he found that the animal was
missing Sunday morning the matter
was reported to Marshal Guittard and
the horse was found in an out-of-the-
way place in Louisville, tied to fence,
where 1t had been standing all night.
Suspicion soon fell on Otto Born, and
when hard pressed he acknowledged
that he had done the deed. When brought
before the mayor ne pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to the workhouse for
twenty days and assessed fine and costs
to the amount of S19.65.

SHOCKING DEATH.
A MOTHER RETURNS TO FIND
HER CHILD IN AGONY.
Every stitch of clothiug g Burned From
Her Body-Oae of the Most Dis
tressiug and Notwithstanding
Cases That Ever OLcurred.

Ruth A. Bell, aged thre ,,lrs and
eight months, daughter of M and Mrs.
John A. Bell, of 1909 Lafdyp tie street,
was burned almost to cri o Friday
afternoon. Shortly after opAck Mrs.
Bell left her home to go across he street
to butcher shop to procure meat for
the evening meal. She left her little girl
in the kitchen, where she was amusing
her little brother John, aged about two
years. Mrs Bell was gone but short
time, and when she returned she was
Mortified to find her little daughter
writhing in agony on the floor, her
clothing completely burned from her lit
tie body, and the flesh -charred and smok-
ing. The wee tot of brother looked on
in dumb amazement, unable to realize
the blood curdling horror of the scene
being enacted before him. The frantic
mother lifted the burned body of her
child and placed it tenderly on a bed.
Then she ran for telephone and sum-
moned DR.. Marchand, who quickly re-
sponded He approached the suffering
child who at his touch threw her head
spasmodically back and cried in feeble
tones, Mamma, John did it; John did
it,"
The physician readily discerned the
small chance of saving the life Of the
child, but he worked valiantly and he
administered soothing anesthetics to ease
the little ones sufferings, for, strangely,
she was conscious for some time after the
frigh tful accident, and death did not re-
lease her from pain until o'clock this
morning, when she was taken mercifully
away from her grief stricken parents.
just how the accident occurred is,
of course, conjecture. 1t Is probable,
however, that the children in the alb.
sence of their mother, were playing about
the kitchen stove, lighting paper and
whirling it through the air. The older
ones dress took fire, with the sad result
chronicled. The bereaved parents have
the sympathy of the entire community.

By a Canton Surgeon.

Robertsville, Dec, 1s.-(Spl, Corr
Mrs. Wilhelmina Schatzman, one of the
oldest residents of Robertsville, had her
sight restored by surgical operation,
after more than two years of total blind
ness. Mrs. Schatzman moved to Roberts
Vile with her father when she was
little girl, and remembers when Stark
county had but few inhabitants. Her
acquaintance in and around Robertsyille
extends over a period of about four score
years. Although nearing her eightieth
birthday, her mind and health are we'll
preserved, and she can narrate occur
rences of early doings with vidacity
and olearness surprising to younger
minds. No one in Robertsville has been
SO much loved as mother Schatzman
Everybody knows her, and when it was
harmed that her sight was giving out
there was not person who did not re-
greet this sad misfortune. OF late, time
passed slowly for the dear old lady Two
years Of total darkness and the helpless
ness which necessarily follows, caused
her to wish for death or the restoration Of
sight. Loved and tenderly cared for by
her children, they Insisted il there was
anything to be done in the way Of re-
moving the cause Of her blindness, she
should have relief. Yesterday most
successful operation was performed on
her left eye and the veil which has OK
cluded the light for more than two years
has been lifted. What glorious day this

lengthy one. While no witness has yet
appeared who was present when the crime
complained Of is ALLEGED to have been COM

whose evidence is of circumstantial
