entered the bedrooms of the two women,
taking a diamond ring off the finger of
Mrs SOuerS and a revolver from the
room of Miss Beatty.
Before the prisoners were arraigned
this morning Brown and Miss Beatty
were admitted into private room and
allowed to engage in private conVer-
sation. Brown showed the young wo-
man a letter which caused her to weep.
The two were then separated and the
accused men were asked to plead to the
charge placed against them. Murry
pleaded not guilty. Brown was bound
over to await the action of the grand
jury and Murry's hearing was postpon-
ed until Thursday. Before Brown w Is
taken to Jail he told his story to a
Leader reporter. He stated that he had
been for a long time a suitor for the
hand of Miss Beatty's sister, and that
he was well acquainted with the entire
family, having visited there frequently.
A couple of weeks ago his mother died,
and he came into possession of few
hundred dollars. This he spent freely
in the Cleveland resorts, and became
acquainted with Murry Murry, he
claims, induced him to commit the rob-
berry, and they came to Akron together
last Wednesday night They went to
the house where Mrs Souers and Miss
Beatty formerly lived, but found that
they had moved. Learning where they
had taken up their new residence, they
made their way thither and obtained
entrance to the house by means Of a
ladder placed at an upstairs window.
Brown refused to tell the contents of
the letter which he showed to Miss
Beatty. That young woman also re-
fused to be interviewed.

Two Bad Fires.

East Liverpool Crisis: The ]. W.
Young Manufacturing Co., located in
the old A. S. Wallace & Co. building on
Broadway, met with serious loss from
fire at an early hour Monday morning.
The entire contents of the second floor
Of the building consisting of baby car
riages in various stages Of completion,
and material, was either destroyed by
fire, or so badly damaged by water as
to be almost worthless. The stock was
insured for $1,000 which it is thought
will cover the loss.
The residence of Mrs. Maggie Bur-
lingame, situated in the hollow east of
Calcutta road, was entirely destroyed
by fire Monday morning. The loss on
the house and contents will reach about
$1,000, only partly covered by insur-
ance.

PECULIAR PROCEEDINGS
In Portage Will Not Occur in
Stark--Grand Jury to In
vestigate Alliance Case.

The Alliance Leader says Constable
P. H. Howell on Saturday night arrested
Charles Vaughn, one Of the alleged New
Of his brother-in-law, AL Hammond,
west of Alliance, and brought him to
this city where he was confined in the
lookup to await transportation to Can
ton, where he will have to appear be-
fore the grand jury TO answer to the
charge Of stealing a buggy from Sam
uel Keller some months ago.
Vaughn was just released from the
Portage Jail last week, after several
weeks incarceration with his brother
John on a similar charge IN that county.
BY very unusual arrangement with
the county officials he won his freedom.
1t is claimed that the officials promised
to release Charlie if John would plead
guilty. John agreed TO this and Char
lie was allowed to walk out of Jail q free
man. The authority for this peculiar
transaction is unknown, certain it is
that there are few precedents to war
rant it.
Constable Howell got a tip on
Vaughn's whereabouts after his re-
lease, and as he was wanted in this
county for several thetts, he drove to
the home of the brothef-in-law where he
found his man. Constable Howell said
he would probably take him to Canton
Monday evening. It is safe to gamble
that he will not nave the snap with the
Stark county Off 2iais that he bad with
the Portage county officials.

city and of o her cities who will come
here, will celebrate the laying of the
cornerstone Of the new Catholic church
in the south end. Invitations have
been extended to all the Communicates
of the sixth district to come to this city
to participate in the affair and take part
in the parade. The knights of st.
John are receiving letters from Col.
Winum of the sixth district of the
Knights of st. John, stating that the

instructions were received Tuesday
morning about o'clock by Captain NJ.
A, Fisher through the long distance
telephone from Colonel DICK that the
Eighth regiment would not go to New
York to participate in the Dewey ceie-
bration. This order is conclusive and
the boys of Company Of this city are
bitterly disappointed that they are not
allowed to go to New York. At the
regular drill meeting Monday night the
boys had evidently received some en-
couragement from a telegram received
from Colonel Dick asking If the boys
would consent to pay 81 in addition to
the SO allowed by the state for their
transportation and find their own sub
sistence. The communication was read
to the boys and they practically decided
that they would pay the money Grips
and other bundles were quickly made
up by some of them so that when the
final orders came they would have about
everything in readiness to hastily re-
spond to the call. Up to the time of
receiving the information from Colonel
Dick Tuesday morning the boys We're
in a happy mood over their supposed TO
be coming trip but when they were in
formed that they were not to go a
damper was put upon their otherwise
jovial spirits and there were many eX-
pressions of disappointment. This is
not the first time the Eighth regiment
has been disappointed in this manner.
Once before they were to go to New
York, when word to the contrary was
received A Washington trip was also
turned out the same way, and a pro-
posed trip to Chattanooga had just IS
discouraging a result. The company
in this city had been working hard and

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS.
Police Think They Have a Pair
Who Are Wanted Else
where,

William Smith and Harry Bake were
the names given the mayor by two
men arraigned Tuesday morning on the
charge of drunkenness. Both men act
ed suspiciously and evaded answers to
the questions of the marshal and police
officials. Smith pleaded guilty to the
charge and was fined S. and costs and
sentenced to the workhouse for twenty
days. Baker carried in his pockets a
screw driver, a fiat bladed table knife
and a bulldog revolver, which he could
not account for to the satisfaction OF
the mayor. He was returned to the
city prison until further investigation
can be made as to his identity. He
told the mayor he came from New Ber-
lin, and to the marshal he related that
he came from the west. Both men are
rough looking fellows.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-09-29

had attained excellent practice at drill
ing and had perfected themselves IN
the tactics and in the manual.
From the information received Tues
day by Captain Fisher it is understood
that only four companies out OF the
regiment really consented to pay the
additional 81, and as there are ten COM
panies to hear from, this was not even
half of them and their action doomed
the trip for the soldiery. The railroad
companies refused to cut down to less
than one cent a mile, and this caused
much Of the trouble.
"The boys will be terribly disap-
pointed at the receiving of this news
They were sure that they would be II.
lowed to go to New York and many Ut
them had their clothes and their sup
plies already made up Monday night IN
anticipation of the event. When the
word was received that they would each
be required to pay 81 in addition to the
state allowance they were all willing
to do so but 1t seems some of the other
companies refused to do this, thinking
perhaps that the state ought to see
them through. This isn't the first time
we were disappointed in going away
It will put damper on the work or the
boys at drill meetings, am afraid after
this. They had been nicely drilled and
coming in just now with this informa"
ton will hurt the company I think
l do not know but what there is flaw
somewhere behind it all. The state al
lowed us SO for the encampment money,
but as we did not have the annual en-
campment we were to receive it through
transportation to New York"
At the meeting of the various officials
,n1n ~ Akron q
day they were given some hope that the
regiment would make the proposed trip
and the soldiery in this city were hap ~
when so informed. Three drill meet
ings each week have been held recently
in order to thoroughly master the tao
tics, and the boys put in considerable
time at the armory.

The matter was referred to the board of
