THE LAKES OF
KILLARNEY
Go Under the Hammer to the
Highest Bidder.
FINEST PORTION OF SCENERY

Contains $4,000 Acres Queen Victoria
Talked of Establishing a Royal
Residence There.
Special to News-Democrat.

Special to News-Democrat.
Dublin, Nov. 21.-While the sale Of
much of the Muckross estate began yes
terday, Muckross Abby and the Lakes
Of Killarney today went under the
hammer to the highest bidder. Muck
ross house, or, as It is sometimes called,
Muckross Abbey, is built on the shore
Of Muckross Lake. The demesne gates
are close to the village Of Muckross.
The mountains, glens and forests sur
rounding the demesne of Muckross
Abbey are celebrated for their red
deer and the hall of the mansion is
decorated with gigantic antlers taken
from stays shot in the vicinity. 1t was
reported in 1897 that Queen Victoria
proposed to purchase the mansion and
estate and establish a permanent royal
residence there. When 1t was announc-
ed last June that the beautiful lakes Of
Killarney were for sale Irish American
citizens in Greater New York grew en-
thusiastic over a plan to purchase the
property by popular subscription and
maintain it as a national park. Moth
ing ever came of 1T. In the sale is in
cluded Muckross house and the de-
mesne, which entirely surrounds the
middle lake of Killarney, and to a
large extent bounds the upper and
lower lakes, with it's deer forests, game
preserves, fisheries, lakes, mountains
and islands. The property contains,
exclusive of water about 14,5OO acres.
Thus the finest portion of the scenery
of Killarney will be sold. The land
embraces Tork waterfall, the Devils
Punchbowl, O'Sullivans Cascade,
Dinish Island, Brickeen Island, Tork
Mountain, Tonnes Mountain. the old
wire bridge and the Meeting of the
Waters.

WILL BE A COSTLY
OPERATION.
What the Decennial Appraise-
ment Will Cost Stark County.
ALL LANDS TO BE REPLATTED.
The Many Additions Made to Stark County
cities and Towns Will Render This
Expensive. other Details
to BE Considered.

The making of the decennial appraise-
ment of the real estate of Stark county,
will entail an expense upon the county
amounting to thousands Of dollars.
The expense must be paid out of the
general county fund, as no special levy
was made to meet 1t.
All the appraisers have filed their
bonds with Auditor Reed and he has
forwarded them their certificates Of
election.
Auditor Reed said to News Demo-
crat reporter Monday afternoon that
he did not know how much the ap-
praisement would cost the county. He
said he could only have an idea of it
from what the appraisers cost each
year. Estimates of persons who claim
to be in a position to know, however,
say it will cost not less than $4,000, if
it does not run several thousand dollars
higher. There are 25 appraisers in the
county who will begin their duties on
the first Monday Of March. They draw
81 per day and are expected to complete
their work inside of 60 days. This alone
calls for an expenditure of $4,000.
The entire county will have to be re-
plated and an entire new grand dupli-
cate for the next ten years made out.
The county will be re-platted twice.
Once before the appraisement and once
after 1t.
Aside from the big plats kept in the
recorders office there are plats in the
books in the auditors Office showing
every foot Of land in the county and
to whom it belonged ten years ago.
These plats will all have to be gone over
and drawn Off for the use Of the ap-
praisers. Every subdivision Of a lot
or a farm made during the past ten
years will have to be marked and the
given Of the person now owning it.
Since the last appraisement there has
been a number of additions laid out
to all the towns in the county, and 1t
will take some work to plat them all.
In Canton, there is Kensington Place,
the new Shorb e. Shanafelt addition,
the Raft lots and perhaps q dozen
others. Numerous additions have also
been laid out to Massillon, Alliance,
and the smaller towns Of the county.
To make these plats, special skilled
clerks will have to be employed, and
1t is estimated that this will cost sew
eral thousand dollars. There are also
numerous incidentals in the way of sta
tionary, clerk hire, ETC., which will all
go to run the cost up. 1t Is estimated
that Hamilton, Cuyahoga and Franklin
counties will spend close to 100000 on
the appraisement.
The last appraisement will in no way
affect the regular appraisement Of per-
sonal property which is made every
spring by assessors elected at the spring
election

DIDN'T KNOW.
Represen tative Elect Pollock,
Can't Tell Whether He Will
Support Snyder or Not.

Representative-elec Robert Pollock,
of North Lawrence, was in the city
Monday afternoon. To q News-Demo-
crat reporter, he said he was unable to
understand how the report got out
about his taking his political actions
from John p. Jones, the state labor
commissioner.
"Will you support Hon. Jacob Snyder,
of this city, for speaker of the house?
was asked.
"Well now, can't say as to that" he
replied, II have not given the matter
any attention. All know Of Mr.. Sny-
der's being candidate is what saw in
the newspapers. 1 have never talked
with him on the subject"
what is your attitude in regard to
the new municipal code bill, which is to
be introduced this winter, and which
will effect the three Stark county cit
les. Will you support it?"
well now I really can't say. 1 don't
know anything about the bill. Have
not even read it's provisions. Mr.. Sny-
der knows more about the bill than I
do. will have to consult him about it.
am not prepared to say whether will
support the measure or not"

WILL ACCEPT
THE HOUNDS.
Council Lends Its Approval to
the Purchase of the Dogs.
TO BE KEPT AT PATROL HOUSE.
The Mayor Thinks They Will Fill a "Long
Felt Want" and Everyone Seems
Pleased Marshal to Pur-
chase Dogs.

Official action was taken at the meet
ing of the city council Monday night
toward accepting the blood-hounds
which will be Purchased for the city by
popular subscription. Messrs. j. t..
Summer and Aaron Rohn report that
they have about 5000 subscribed on their
petitions, the amount necessary for "a
pair of finely trained blood-hounds, and
as soon as the marshal, who has un-
dertaken to learn where such animals
can be purchased, receives information
relative to the prices of such dogs, they
will be at once purchased. The resolu-
tion adopted Monday night was sub
mitted by Member Gravis and was sub
stantially that the dogs when purchas-
ed be kept in the patrol house in the
charge of the superintendent The
resolution was unanimously adopted
There have been many expressions of
approval on the part of the citizens as
to securing the blood-hounds for use
by the police department. Invariably
the statement has been that
there will be more captures
made of criminals with the
dogs than has been the case heretofore,
simply because the officers were not
enough In number to entirely cover the
various parts of the city. However,
this will be specifically improved upon
when the dogs are received and placed
In use. The officers generally are ap-
preciating the assistance they will
have in the trailing after criminals
with the dogs, and express themselves
as well pleased. The mayor stated
that he believed that this was a long
felt want and that he was glad to
subscribe his mite to the purchase of
the animals, inasmuch as they would
render good to his department in break
ing up the alleged gangs of burglars
and highway robbers who have been in
Testing this city.

TRANSFERRED TO CANTON,
Conference Being Held Between
the Officials and
Employees.

Practically nothing was accomplish
ed at the conference yesterday at t'Cleve-
land between the mployes and officials
or the Wheeling & Lake Erie on the
suggestion of a readjustment affecting
wages. The officials were not fully pre-
pared to present their case and the con-
ference was postponed until today and
transferred to the Canton offices.
AT l o'clock this afternoon Superin-
tendent Van Duyzen, Superintendent
MerWin and the committee of the men
went into session. Supt. Van Duyzen
stated just before that it was very un-
likely the matter would reach a con-
clusion today and that, in the present
state OF the case, it was impossible to
state what the outcome would be. Sew
eral of the men declined to state the real
nature of the case they would present,
but said that what had so far been done
was very satisfactory to the men.

: - 7 THE TRUST.
Canton Glass Company Sells Out
tOCOmbine.
THE LOCAL STOCKHOLDERS
Have Gone Out of the Business rhe Trust
Promoters Made Cash Offer for
the PIant--Canton Pro-
perty Sold.

The Canton Glass Co., Is now in the
trust. All of the property and the
stock has been transferred and the old
Canton stockholders are out of the glass
business. The property in Canton
with the rest was sold. De1ts have
just been filed in the county recorders
Office for the old factory site ON Marion
street. There are two deeds in the
case. One transfers the factory site
and adjoining house which was used for
an Office from the Canton Glass Co, to
II. c. Fry. The price is S11.335. The
second deed filed at the same time
transfers the property from III. G. Fry
to the National Glass Co., for 81 1886.
The National Glass Co, is the name
of the trust. II. Z. Fry was simply the
go-between who bought up the proper ty
for the trust.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Fry made the
Canton Glass Co., a spot cash offer for
the entire works. The offer was big, as a
stockholders meeting was held at Can
ton at which 1t was decided to sell. Last
week Mr.. Fry plankod down the cash
and the shop and property was all
turned over to him at once and he inl-
mediately turned 1t over to the Ma
tional Glass Co.
Mr.. Henry Hartnr, former president
of the Canton Glass Co. stated to n
News Democrat reporter that he
had understood the whole matter was
closed up last week and that the shop
and all propertywas turned over TO Mr..
Fry.
He said: 1T know nothing about
what Mr.. Fry has done with the works.
We received our offer from him and
hear the money has been paid and the
stock all turned over 1t happened, i
believe, one day last week. We are
out Of the business altogether now."

NEW HOTEL
FOR CANTON.
A Pittsburg Man Is Here Pro
noting the Project.
A NEW MODERN UP-TO-DATE
Fire Proof Structure Is Under, Considera-
tion-Ihe Hurford House Site
May bo P.rchassd-R Repre-
sents Eastern Capital.

~. Palmer O'Neil, Pittsburg" is a
name on the Barnett House register
readily recognized by anyone of the
fraternity Of base ball cranks of a few
years back as being that Of the ex-
Pittsburg magnate whose name has
seen the light of day in print as often
as any in the base ball world.
Mr.. O'Neil has departed from his old
vocation and, in his new capacity, his
visit is Of especial Importance to Can
ton, his attention now being directed
to secure a mammoth and thoroughly
modern new hotel for this city. Mr..
O'Neil came to the city Saturday and
the object of his visit leaked out yes
terday.
Seen in reference to his project last
night, he declared his inability to state
anything definite, except that he was
here for the object mentioned. He
comes representing eastern capital, to
thoroughly look over the ground, and
Is enthusiastic over Canton and the op-
portunities 1t represents. Referring to
the location he said that the Hurford
House site was the one naturally first
In mind, the entire block to be included
and thoroughly modern, fireproof
structure to cover 1t. The project Is not
a new one he says, and as far back as
last May had gone so far as securing
capital, but fell through because of in
ability to procure suitable site.
Mr.. O'Neil will remain probably a
week investigating the situation
thoroughly.
