WOMAN'S DEFENSE
OF Mrs. George, Who, She Thinks,
Should Be Given an Opportunity
To Reform Her Ways.

Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge"
Poor Mrs, George If she wishes to gain
the commendation of some people, it appears
she will have to go back to her former life
in place Of turning from the error of her ways.
What hard world this is for woman When
Mason Long came upon the lecture platform,
and Sam Jones entered the pulpit, the public
turned out en- masse to hear and applaud, aud
encourage them, but when poor misguided
woman, who wishes to reform, presumes to
address them they hoot at the idea of such as
she coming before the public in the guise of a
teacher. If Mason Long, the reformed gam.
bier, was fit to warn his fellow creatures of the
snares and pitfalls of life, why is not Mrs
George also ftp
Those people from whom one would expect
| charitable feelings are generally the most bit
ter again stlthe down-fallen. Christ said "Go,
and sin no more" but these people would seem
to say (by their actions) go back to your evil
life do not presume to be respectable, do not
even go TO church, such places are not for
you, yet the Bible tells us that Christ came
not into the world TO bring the righteous, but
sinners to repentance"
1t has been the earnest hope of all true.
minded men and women in this city and i
think may say in this country, that Mrs.
George would henceforth lead pure and
| blameless life. She has suffered much, her pun-
| ishment has been great and now, when her
heart is softened by her many troubles, and by
the sympathy, which has been so freely ex.
tended to her now, when her mind and heart
| turns toward better, and Dobler life, why
should we hound her down with sarcastic re.
minders of what has been2
| ITO err, is human, to forgive divine"

CONSIDERING IT.
Judge Taylor Interviewed at Carroll
tOn-says He Has Not Decided on
the Supreme Judgeship.

Special to the News-Democrat.
Carrollton, May 5-Judge 7, H. Taylor was
interviewed here today by a representative of
the News-Democrat. 1t was explained to him
that the claim was made that a judge in this
subdivision of the judicial district was under
suspicion in Hanna Headquarters, and that
an impression had been sent abroad that he
had written letter to Mckinley that he
would not recede from his friendly position
toward Senator Forake-. 1t was also related
to the judge that further information from
Columbus was that he was the Judge suspect.
ed. Judge Taylor said
II have never heard anything of such let.
ter. II is all news to me. do not know why
anyone should start such a report"
"Have you decided whether you will be a
candidate for the Republican nomination for
judge of the supreme court2" was asked.
II have been considering the matter and am
still considering it, but / have not fully de.
cided what / will do about it," responded
Judge Taylor.

CHARGES DISPROVEN.
Superintendent and Mrs, South
worth Are Reelected.
NO GROUND FOR COMPLAINT.
Mostly Insinuations That Had Their Birth
in a Grievance of Some Parties in the
Neighborhood- Boards Action
Meets with Favor.

The county commissioners have returned
from Alliance where they W re called to meet
in joint session with the commissioners ef Co
lumbiana county and the trustees Of Fair
mount Children's Home. The purpose of the
joint meeting was to investigate charges. OF
rather complaints, made against Superinten'
dent NJ, NJ. SouthwOrth of the Home, who, 1T is
alleged, was extravagant and mismanaged the
affairs of the institution.
A petition praying for the removal of Su.
perintendent Southworth was presented to the
trustees Of the Home,
On February 30, at a meeting Of the trus-
tees, witnesses were examined and the COM
plants were thoroughly investigated with the
view of proving the alleged shortcomings and
incompetency of the superintendent. The re
suit of the investigation was that Mr.. and Mrs
Southworth were employed for the year be-
ginning May 1, 1899. ALI details of the con.
duct of the Home were thoroughly gone
into. The petition against Mr.. South.
worth was disposed of in the following
paragraph of the resolutions unanimously
adopted and presented to the commissioners
in joint session.
"We do not feel that the insinuations with
which the petition is embellished are entitled
to any further mention of the spirit animating
the authors of the document. Finally with
an earnest desire that the Home may continue
in the future as in the past, the pride of our
counties and a model for similar institutions
everywhere and believing that the sentiment
of the taxpayers and citizens generally will
endorse our action we beg leave to announce 10
you that we have employed Mr.. and Mrs.
Southworth as superintendent and matron for
the ensuing year. E. Teeters

Special to the News-Democrat
Salineville, May S.-Investigation by inter-
ested citizens shows that the strange move.
ments of the earth, which were noticed Satur.
day, places many buildings in great danger o
collapse. The people believed that an earth
quake had visited the town, and they rushed
in terror from their beds Saturday morning.
The phenomenon was due to the undermining
of the foundation of portion of the town. by
an old coal bank. The bank which caused
the trouble was the old Farmer bank, which
has been operated by the Brown Brothers.

too close to the school house. An injunction

ing the upper end of the mine, claiming the
injunction did not cover that portion. The
people complained, and the council notified
the operators to cease work. They paid no
attention to the notification. 1t is now said
that the present situation is due to the contin-
ued use OF the mine,
The cavein occurred along Church street.
The ground suddenly commenced to crack in
many places, aud large number of fissures
six and eight inches wide appeared. By drop
ping cord, with a weight attached, into these
openings it was discovered that the depth of
several of them was almost forty feet.
On Church street watermains are broken
and other underground pipes interfered with.
The assures are dangerously near the school
house, the Presbyterian church and the United
Presbyterian church. One crack is within 10
feet of the school house. G. M. Wares dwell
ling house sank two feet and is perceptibly
lop. sided. The plastering in the house broke
and much damage was caused to the interior
decorations and to the personal effects of the
occupants. The Finnegan, Quail and Mccoy
homes are also badly damaged. Buildings for
block on either side of Church street are per-
ceptibly affected by the sinking of the ground.
Citizens are greatly worried and believe that
other evidences of insecure foundations will
soon be apparent. The portion affected is in
the centre of the residence district.

WANTS A PARDON.
Robert Ubernesser Would Like
to Be a Free Man.
SERVING A LIFE SENTENCE.
The Application Recalls a Tragedy That
Attracted a Great Deal of Attention
About Seven Years Ago Brief
Story of the Crime.

An application for the pardon of Robert
Obernesser, who was sent to the penitentiary
for life from this county in the September term
of court, 1899, is being made through the
proper channels,
The application recalls the crime committed
on the night of October 13, 1892, when Scott
Smith, well known express driver, was shot
down and killed by the man who now
makes application for pardon. On the night
named Robert Obernesser, alias George
Preston, became involved in a quarrel with
Scott Smith and John Ellis, who will be re-
membered as "Three-Fingered Jack" one of
the bright lights Of the Tenderoin. The men
met in Fred Greub's saloon, then located at 70
Saxton street. Jennie and Jessie Keefer, two
members of the demi.monde, Joined the party,
and drinking and carousing continued until
past midnight. One of the men proposed a
game of cards, and bOastingly said he could
beat the best players in the house. The
chahenge was accepted, and the three
men commenced the game. As the
game progressed the boaster played a losing
hand and he became abusive. Obernesser, a
young stranger in the city, made retOrt to a
particularly hot sally and Els, it is said said
that he would do up the stranger. 0bernesser
warned him with the remark:
Don't attempt that as you will find me the
toughest kid you ever saw"
In a moment tho fight was on. Four shots
were fired by ObeInesser. Smith fell first with
his abdomen perforated. He died few days
later Ellis lay in the hospital for weeks but
finally recovered and left the city.
Obennesser now applies for a pardon after
serving six and one half years of a life sem
tence. The claim is made that it was a
drunken row, and what was done was done in
the heat of passion.

Grand Jury Directs Some Heavy
Ones at Sheriff Zaiser.
JAIL's FILTHY CONDITION
Touched Upon by Representative
Body of Taxpayers.
THE REPORT Is VERY MILD
When the Discussion Had in the Grand
Jury Room Is Taken Into Consider
alton - Recommendation of
Last Grand Jury Evil
IDENTIFY Not Needed,

Last Grand Jury Evil
IDENTIFY Not Needed.
Sheriff John ]. Zaiser has again occurred 10
his bumps. The grand jury has reported. and
has not failed to mention the conduct Of the
Jail. At the January term 1t was cecommend-
ed that more light and ventilation be provided
and that distractions, such as dirt, be removed
from the windows. 1t was also recon nended
that the cells be cleaned, the walls brushed
of and painted and better conditions be made
1t was set forth in that report that the sheriff
should see to it that the bed clothes are
cleaned, as they were found to be in filthy
condition, and particular mention was made of
the Blankets which seemed to the grand Jurors
to have been kept at a great distance from
soap and water. A want Of proper airing of
bed clothing was also said to be not 'ceable
That report was signed by james G. Corns, of
Massilon, as foreman.
The grand jury that reported last evening
had evidently seen the report of the former
grand jury, and had noted that nothing had
been done to make conditions better, save that
several prisoners, few days after the report
had been made public, felt the need of ventila-
ton to the extent of kicking hole out to the
south and escaping into fresh air. After stat.
ing that visit had been paid 20 the Jail the
grand jury adds
We endorse the recommendations made to
this court by the grand jury sitting at the
January. term in 1899. We further recommend
that more attention be given to cleanliness,
that the floor be more frequently scrubbed, the
windows washed and the whole jail be cleaned
ISAAC M. TAGGART. Foreman.
As the grand jury affirmed the report of the
one preceding it, it is. evident that it found
that the same conditions regarding filthy
blankets and Ill kept cells prevail now that
prevailed then, and that no attention had been
paid to former recommendations. The sweep
ing suggestion as to cleanliness makes il pa
tent that the grand jury believed that the fail
was generally in filthy condition.
1t is said that the recommendations were
very mild considering the exact situation.
Leaks from the grand jury room are to the
effect that the discussion lasted some time and
was not at all complimentary TO the executive
ability of Sheriff Zaiser. One grand iuryman
was heard to remark that the place was not fit
for human being to live in. 1t is said to have
been suggested also that the sheriff is very
loose in his method of treating prisoners and
the escapes that have been made from the in
stitution came in for share of attention.

STRICTLY BUSINESS,
Though Mr.. Whiting May Have Been
Trying to Place the Stark
County Delegation.

Columbus, O., May 5.-Julius Whiting, of
Canton, former member of the Board of Peni-
tentiary Managers under the Mckinley ad-
ministration, was in the city yesterday. Mr..
Whiting stated that his visit was purely one Of
business.
1t is believed here, however, that Mr..
Whiting is looking over the ground politically
in refe ence to the best place in which to en-.
trench the Stark county delegation in the
coming contest. He was in close consultation
most of the time with Mr. Miller, of the State
Agricultural Department.
