ANOTHER line,
With New Promoters, Proposed to be
Built TO MassiIIon,

Citizens generally are pleased with
the prospect of a short car line con-
Meeting Massillon, NewP Philadelphia
and Akron, says the Canton News
Democrat. News comes from Canal
Dover that Davis King, former
superintendent Cf the Tuscarawas
street railway of that town, and W.
A. Carver, also of Canal Dover, are
promoters of the line which is eX-
pected to be built to Massillon. A
large proportion of the right of way,
it is said, has been secured. A Ca
nal Fulton business man stated to
News-Democrat reporter Tuesday
morning that w. A. Carver was also
interested in line extending from
Akron to Massillon, via Barberton,
Doylestown and Canal Fulton, and
that considerable right of way had
been secured.
With Cleveland, Akron and Mas
sillon connected there is no doubt
that Canton will be placed on the
list. Alliance could then be made a
part of the system if the proposed
Canton-Alliance line is built and the
promoters it is said will push for
ward to the Ohio river, by way of
Urichsville and Cadiz to Wheeling.
Philadelphia capitalists, it is said,
are interested, but others say the
whole system has strong Everett
flavor.

BELLEFoNTAINE, O., Nov. 24.-Near
West Liberty boy named John Whit.
man. who lives north of the town, was
on his way home in a lonely part of the
town when three strange negro men
stopped him and demanded that he tell

recent mob.
Ike boy, of course, could tell nothing,
and, after choking him and frightening g
him almost to death, the strange men
let him go and disappeared.
When the story was told in town a
posse of men went in search of the ne
groes. They found one strange man,
but let him go when he satisfied them
that he knew nothing whatever of the
matter.
The threats of vengeance which
reached the townspeople from colored
people south of West Liberty caused
the mayor to place mounted guards ON
all roads leading into the town, and
close watch was kept all night. Every.
body had gun end watchfires
were kept burning. 1t was said the
vigilance will not be relaxed for u
while.
