WRONGS RICHTED. R A.RoGERS FILES ExPARTE PETITION BEFORE
 JUDGE ELLIOTT.
ASSESSED WRONGFULLY.
Chancellor Elliott Has Granted the Petition.@Ias Been
 Assessed Since 1888,

Mr. R. A. Rogers filed in the ehalcery court an exparte petition praying the Court to cancel and annull the present plat in which he has been assessed taxes upon since the survey was made in 1888, by County Surveyor. Jonh J. Martin.
 The petitioner ia his exparte pro. ceeding belore Chancellor Elliott sought an order that would require the clerk of the court to describe said lands on the tax books of said county as the fractional south half of the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter least of raiIroad) in section 8.
 The land about which Rogers complains was pIatted into blocks and lots by County Surveyor Mar tin in 1888, without the advice or consent of the petitioner. Rogers
 Chancellor Elliott, uponE hearing the testimony, caused the following order to be entered of record, 'sThe Court after examining the petit tion and being fully advised as to the order to make, doth order and decree that the sad plat of said land be cancelled, set aside, and held for naught, and that the said lands be placed upon the tax books by the said assessor as above de- scribed, and valued accordingly.
 The description of the land as it will no~be entered since the courts order, is "that he is the owner of all that part of the south half of the northeast quarter of the southeast quarter lying east of the St. Louis Southwest tern Railway in sectlon 8, township 6, south range 9 west con- sisting of about 10 acres.
 This property will now be assess ed by the acre instead of the lot.
 Thus we are again reminded of the old saying that 'everY wrong has it's redress.

Alliance, Aug. 1.-THE numerous pro-

furnish the prevailing topic Of conver-
sation just now and every few days
promoters of one or more lines is in
town.
Last night an informal meeting Of the
city council was held to discuss the
matter of granting permission to the
Alliance, Sebring and Salem people to
cross the viaduct at the foot of Main
street The railway people were repre-
sented by James d. White, a Pitts
burg engineer H. G. Estep, of Pittsburg
who is furnishing part of the capital,
and II. w. Harris, the company's attor-
ney in this city. On account Of the
narrowness and strength of the via
duct and the steepness Of the approach
there is considerable opposition to al
lowing the electric people to cross. 1t
is feared this would destroy the wagon
| lTdlHC anu luuS uSlSdL IlS very pulP
| for which the bridge was constructed,
namely, to lessen the danger of cross
ing the railroad tracks. The Pennsyl-
vania company has $4,000 in the bridge
and they are not anxious to accommo-
date the electric people, who claim they
cannot enter the town by any other
route. A special session of council
will be held Monday night to take final
official action on the matter.

| tween here and Cleveland is kept busy
these days by the Canton Alliance peo-
pie arranging for a big meeting here

they contemplate beginning the work

out anything for publication.

Special to News-Democrat.
Youngstown, Aug 12.-Canton gentle
men who are in possession of the con-
gressional bee will note with interest
that Mahoning county is likely to have
a candidate for congress to succeed
Robert w. Tayler. The present con-
gressman wants to succeed himself but
will hardly have the opportunity. Post
office organs in Canton and other towns
in the district have made mention of
the fact Of Tayler's candidacy and
would doubtless give him any support
he wanted as against even local men
in their own field, but Mahoning is in
earnest. A we'll known Republican
said:
r. F. Writ, Republican candidate for
State Senator in the Mahoning Trum-
bull district, wants to make big show
ing at the coming election and then pose
as the logical candidate for congress.
He has let his friends in on the scheme
and they are pulling for big majority
| for him for senator so as to make his
calling sure for congress. He will be a
candidate at the proper time and will
contest the delegation of Mahoning
county with Congressman ,Tayler. In
addition to Mr.. Writ you can add that
the name of Attorney ]. r. Carey, of
Salem. He is also in the race, so I am
informed, and is shaping things so that
he can control a portion of the Column
biana delegation. Tayler has made a
host of bitter enemies by his postofice
appointments and just now he has a
hot contest on at Salem, where four
teen candidates claim recognition in
the postoffice plum. You see how it is
thirteen Of these will soon have no use
, for Tayler and so it has gone all over
the district. Judge Johnson, of Mahon-
: ing, is also likely to be in the race. Then
am informed Stark county has sew
eral candidates. Among them I have
heard the name Of C. c. Bow, who was
, a warm friend Of the late Judge King
= Fawcett has also been mentioned ant
I hear that Senator Silas ]. Williams
of Alliance, and Senator Conrad, o

taking the place. Tayler will have hi

Cleveland Aug. 11.-There was a Sc
rious alteration between a teamster
and a non-union conductor on a Big
Consolidated car this morning, in which
one of the men was shot and another
nearly scalped. William Little was at
work unloading wagon on Central
avenue and says he called to friend
across the street to come and help him.
The conductor, William T. Caple,
claims he cried "scab." At any rate,
the latter jumped from his car and
and pulling his gun, shot five times at
Little. One shot took effect. Little had
hatchet in his wagon. He picked 1t
up and let the conductor have it with
all his force. 1t took the latter
where Victor wore the wreath and
nearly took the top of his head off. Lit
tie was taken to a hospital and Caple
was arrested. The eye-witnesses de-
clare Little said nothing to the con-
ductor and deny Caple's story that Lit
tie threw the hatchet before he shot.
