Despite this fact she has taunted
him and endeavored in every possi-
BILE manner to cause him annoyance
and drag him to the gutter, if it
cost her her life," as Mr.. Philion
stated she said.
Mr.. Philion claims to have positive
proof that since 1891, his former
wife, Emma Philion, has been living
with her nephew, William Albrecht,
who has assumed the name of
Achille Philion, and whose residence
is at 203 Throop ST., Brooklyn, n. Y.
A newspaper report that he left

canard. He never had any chill

COMPANY
Has Purchased the
SWinehart Patent.
Vehicle Tire That Will be Manu-
factured In This CITY.

James A. Swinehart, a contractor
residing at 729 East Exchange ST.,
has been granted patent on a rub
ber tire for vehicle wheels. In the
device means are provided whereby
the tires can be securely connected
with the wheel rims, yet can be
readily disconnected therefrom
whenever desired. The invention
consists essentially in the combin-
alton, with the rim of a wheel hav-
ing Out-wardly extending peripheral
hanges at the sides, of a solid or
cushion tire of rubber provided on
the inner side with transverse metal
bars, and with wires extending
around the rim and engaging with
the ends of the bars.
This tire differs from the ordinary
tires now in use on account of its
being made in a cylindrical mould,
out of which it comes, when cured,
in a coil shape, the coil being II
inches in diameter: Consequently,
when it is put on 4-foot wheel, the
outside is compressed, or upset"
making it almost impossible to cut
the tire; and if the tire is cut, the in
cision will almost invariably remain
tightly closed. 1t is also without
the usual wires running lengthwise
through the tires; instead, it is fas-
tened by cross-bars vulcanized into
the rubber, and over the ends of
which, wires passing between the
fiange and the rubber.
Mr.. Swinehart has disposed of the
patent to the Akron Tire Co., which
has been formed to handle the tires.
The members of the company are:
James A. Swinehart, DR.. L. E. Sis
ler, James Christy and Matthew
Buckman. The business Office of
the company will be at the store of
Christy & Son on Howard st. If the
company does not sell the patent it
is the intention of the members to
apply for a charter for the incorpor-
poration of the organization.
At present some of the tires are be-
ing made by the Goodyear Rubber
Co. on Factory ST., East End.

AKRON MACCABEES
Will Visit Youngstown-A Large
Delegation Going.

Anticipating royal time at the
formal opening of Mill Creek Park
Youngstown, Tuesday, May 30, under
the auspices of the Knights of the
Maccabees, the local members of
that historic order are making great
preparations for the excursion over
the Erie road that day. 1t is con-
servatively estimated that at least
800 members of the order have signi-
fled their intentions of going, and a
large number of others will also take
advantage of the excursion, which
will leave here at 7:3O in the morn
ing and return in the evening at $3.50.
A member of the committee on ar
rangements says that the Akron del
egation will be supplied with several
brass bands and will be fully equip
ped to contribute to the lustre of the
occasion.
While Mill Creek park has been
open for quite while, it's opening to
the people has never been formally
celebrated. AT the opening May 30,
the program will consist chiefly of
athletic sports, yet will be interspers-
ed with features conducive to the
pleasure of all who may attend.

ADDITIONS
To be Made to the Erie Railroad
Freight House.

w. P. Kimble of Gallon, road mas
ter of the Erie railroad, spent Thurs
day in this city. While nothing
definite could be learned from the
local officials of the road, it is cur
rently rumored that the object of
his visit was to view the freight depot
and prepare estimates for enlarging
the building, and making general
improvements in the facilities for
handling freight.
Among the improvements con-
templated will be the extending of
the buildings length about 15O feet
and the width 20 feet. If the COM
pany decides to make the improve
ment, work will be commenced
shortly.

RELEASED
From All Past or Future
Obligations.
AchiIIe PhiIion Gives His Side of the
Controversial Denial.

Mr.. Achille Philion vigorously de-
MES the articles published about
him in reference to his recent trOu-
BILE with his former wife in New
York city. Although he was arrest
ed on two different occasions he was
never placed behind prison bars.
Mr.. PhiliOn says he commenced
divorce proceedings against his
former wife in 1880. In Colorado on
August 26, 1898, he was granted di-
vorce. Just previous to being grant
ed a divorce he had neglected to pay
her alimony at the rate of S. a week,
at the request of his lawyer. After
the divorce had been granted she
wanted to release him entirely from
further obligations whatsoever, if
he would pay her $1,000. He refused
