The rural telephone service is said to

TURNED HANNA
TO THE WALL.
He Had Been Billed to Appear
But Failed to Arrive.
sTEERED HIM FROM THE TOWN
Republicans of Massillon Tipped the Com
mittee That he Would Better
be Kept From That
Locality.

Special to News-Democrat.
Massillon, Oct. 17.-Marcus Aurelius
Hanna will not address a Massillon
audience this fall and the reason goes
forth from Republican sources that
Mr.. Hanna is not wanted. 1t has been
said that it would be impossible for the
Cleveland throne supporter to appear be-
fore Massillon audience, but local Re-
publicans say that this is all bosh and
gave as a reason for Mr.. Hanna's with
drawal from the meeting already an
nounced for this town, that it was the
result of conference of local lights,
who, upon due deliberation, decided
that Hannas appearance in Massillon
would do more harm than good. The
CO.. ference. 1t is 'aid. was held in a
down town office one evening last
week. Hanna's Autographs, and big
bills announcing the meeting were in
the store windows about town at the
time, but the next morning the face of
the boss was turned toward the wall
and the hangers" went into the wood
box. Massillon may not have Repub-
lican jubilee during the campaign. The
war horses are becoming reminiscent
and it would require little jolting of
their gray matter to go back to meet
ings of two years, ago when sc people
turned out to hear a golden tongued
orator and but four of the so vice
presidents of the meeting had the cour-
age to face the footlights. It comes
from an authoritative source that the
laboring people of Massillon are sick of
Hanna and Hannaism and it was with
a view of keeping him in the back
ground as much as possible that the
central committee was quietly tipped
to- steer the rotund form of Dom
Hanna into other fields than those in
which are engaged honest toilers who
despise the aristocratic hypocracy Of the
dictator.

Massillon, Oct 17.--Rev. A. G.. Berky,
one of the well known ministers of this
city, died at his home No. 80 South Hen
ry street Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock,
after lingering illness from compli-
cation of diseases. Physicians have ex-
erted their skill for months but their
efforts were unvailing anu death came
to relieve the sufferer at the hour nam
ed. The news of the minister's death
spread rapidly and caused great grief in
the hearts Of all who had known him
and had learned his sterling Christian
character.
Rev. Berky was born in Berks county,
Pa. Nov. 6, 1856. He received common
school education in the schools Of Le-
high county and when 20 years of age
he entered Perkomer seminary at
Pennsburg. After finishing his studies
there he went to Heidelburg college at
Tiffin and graduated from that school
with honors in 1888. In the same year
he was installed as minister of the gos-
pei in the Reformed church of Waynes-
burg, Stark county. Here he resided for
two years and in that time, in 1889, he
was welded to Miss Georgia Guinea,
who has since been his constant help

occupied the pulpit in the Reformed
church for four years. In the spring of
1894 he and his estimable wife removed
to Massillon where Rev. Berky took
charge Of the Reformed churcI just be-
yond the city limits. About two years
ago the faithful minister was attacked
by grippe and ever since he has been a
sufferer and many times was unable to

MT COSTS SO MILLIONS.


An Enormous Sum Spent In Rebuilding
and RO-equlpping tho II. q o. Il, II.
The recevership of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, which has Just como
to o close, was remarkable In many
ways. Messrs. Cowen and Murray did
not follow precedent, but went ahead
and placed the property in hrst-class
shape, instead of attempting to main
tain 1t in the condition that they found
1t. OF course the receivers were up
held by a majority OF the security hold
ers and the court, but the Baltimore
and Ohio receivership marked an epoch
In such affairs that will be historical.
The vast sums expended were put out
in SO and 81, when trade was at low
ebb and money scarce. During their
administration the receivers purchased
1880 box cars, 6,75l wooden gondola
cars, 6,000 pressed steel cars, $40 mis-
cellaneous freight cars, postal express
and dining car equipment, at a total
cost of 100000. The PIG locomotives
cost nearly two and one-half millions.
The steel rail purchased amounted to
123,010 tons, costing $2142152, and
there were bought over 100000 cross
ties, costing Sl,20O,OO0, and 100000
cubic yards of ballast amounting to
$525, OOO The new steel bridges aggre-
gate in value $750,000, and fully as
much more was spent in improving the
several terminals erecting new build
ings, reducing grades and changing the
alignment. The maintenance of way
payrolls, or the amount paid directly
to men employed in making improve
ments on the tracks, etc, in three
years was nearly twelve millions of
dollars. The total amounts to about
$35, 100000, Of which about $l5,000,000
were secured by the issuance Of receiv-
els' certificates and the balance
through car trusts, earnings from the
property and from the reorganization
managers. Most Of the purchases OF
equipment and rail were made when
material was low In price and manu-
featuring concerns were In great need
OF orders to keep their plants in op-
Grafton. Steel rails are worth now from
SO to SO ton more than when the re-
ceivers made their purchases and To-
comotives have advanced from $1,000
to 100000 in price. The equipment
alone, IL purchased today, would cost
$5,OOO,OOO more and the other improve
meats 81 100000 more. President Cow
en- is authority for the statement that
the new company intends spending
$10,000,000 more in improvements in
tho next year or two.
