SULLIVAN GETS
ATTORNEYSHIP.
He Lands the Job Canton Men
Were Candidates For.
HANNA HAS NAMED HIM
And That Settles the Whole Business The
Marshalship Will Now Probably
BE offered to a Cleve-
land Man.

The ws-Democrat exclusively an
nounced some weeks ago that the at
torneyship for the northern district of
Of Warren, would get the place, for
value received. There were numerous
applicants for the place, but Sullivan
had some goods to deliver and having
delivered them, got the place. James
j. Grant and Allen Carnes were candi-
dates for the place. Carnes got a job
in Cincinnati in the revenue service.
but up to date Mr.. Grant has not been
provided for. A Washington special
tells of the selection of Sullivan as fol-
lows:
Hon. John j. Sullivan, of Warren,
Trumbull county. member of the Ohio
State Senate. will succeed Samuel D.
the Northern district of Ohio. Senator
Hanna decided today that he VIII rec
ommend him to the president for the
appointment. The senator will make
known his selection to Mr.. Mckinley to-
morrow, and it is expected that Mr..
Sullivan's nomination will be submit
ted to the senate in short time.
The appointment of Senator Sullivan
to the district attorneyship will tend
to simplify the contest for the United
States marshalship of Northern Ohio,
and indicates that Marshal Smalley's
successor will be a Cleveland man..
Cleveland is regarded as entitled to
either the marshalship or district attor-
neyship, and having lost the latter it is
practically certain that the former
place will go to one of her citizens. Thus
far Col, Haskell appears to be far in the
lead in the marshalship race. The con-
test had resolved itself down to Sulli-
van and Hon. l.. c. Laylin, of NorwallI,
for both of whom the senator entertains
a very high regard. The salary of the
district attorney is $4,000 year, and
the appointment is for four years. He
will take his place about January ],
though the present attorneys term ex-
pires December IL.

COMPANY ALREADY ORGANIZED
And Is Ready to Begin Installing Its Plant
just as Soon as Council VIII
Grant Its Permission.

In the city council meeting Monday
night application was made for a fran
chise for new telephone exchange in
Canton. The company is composed of
Canton men. A year or two ago q local
company composed Of Ed. Raft, Charles
r. Miller, c. A. Dougherty, Albert Hoe
fer and w. j. Piero, acting in conJunc-
tion with the Harrison Telephone Co.,
of Columbus, got franchise here. The
times were too hard to begin work
then and the franchise expired. The
same men, however, have kept the mat
ter of another telephone line in mind
and have recently organized under the
laws of West Virginia with a capital
stock of $500,000. Ed. Raft is president,
Charles r. Miller secretary and treas
urer w. j. Piero states that it is pro-
posed to put in an exchange at Canton,
one at Massillon and one at Alliance.
Thus all little towns in the county will
be connected with the United States
Telephone Company lines at Massillon,
thus getting toll lines to Cleveland, Co
lumbus and other points. The new
company will be known as the Canton
Telephone Co. Mr.. Piero said If the
council granted the franchise, work
would be commenced in the spring.

Last of a Family That Has Been
Prominent in Stark
County History.

Joseph Snively the last of the old pi-
oneer family of that name, died at his
country home In the eastern part of

ber of the Dunkards. He was past 70
years of age and has reared family OF
four children, all of whom are married.

Bethlehem township, Abraham Snively,
of Colorado, and Mrs. Rev. John Kah-
ler, from east of Canton. Mr.. Snively

ried Miss Gerber, who became the mo-
ther of his children. She died and later
he took Miss Snyder to the marriage
altar She also preceded him to the
grave The funeral will be held Sunday.

DOING PRETTY WELL
And Commissioners Think
JanitOrs Should Be Sat-
isfied at $50 Per.

Ever since the retirement of Isaac
Neville from the janitorship at the
court house the county commissioners
have been wrestling with the question
of providing for the discharge of the
labor that he was wont to perform.
They have about come to a conclusion
in the matter now. When Neville was
so suddenly removed from the stage of
activity there was demand for
immediate action and the other two
janitors were told to pitch in and do
his work and they would be paid his
wages until some arrangement could
be made to take care of the matter.
Both Mr.. Silverman and Mr.. Alexander
last month therefore drew $40, or 500
more than their regular salaries. The
commissioners now, however, have de-
cided to- settle the matter permanently
and they have about concluded that
Isaac was an unnecessary luxury and
that two men, with the help of Mrs.
Reherd, who does the duSting, are
amply sufficient for all the work there
is at the court house and no successor
to the cOlored man will be selected.
But now the other janitors are coming
in and demanding Isaac's pay. Here is
where the hitch comes. The matter
will probably come up and receive at
tention by the commissioners today At
least some of them are not at all in
favor Of increasing the salaries of the
present force. One, especially, de-
clares that he will oppose the increase
to the last notch. Speaking of the sub.
ject, this commissioner said that they
last month and they could not see that
the janitors were overworked and that
he considered $50 a month as very fair
pay. The commissioners went over to
the city hail. Tuesday, and looked over
that to see how the work of the janitor
there compared with that in the court
house. Mr. Goodman gets $50 month
for the entire city hall and the COM
missioners concluded that there was not
twice as much work at the court house,
and that therefore the two janitors
there We're doing pretty we'll at the $50
mark.
One of the commissioners said that
if the old janitors did not want the
jobs at $50 he was quite sure he knew
where good men could be secured for
the price.

JOHN BROWN
WENT FREE.
Jury Instructed to Find a Ver-
dict of"NOt Guilty.
WAS CHARGED WITH FORGERY
But There Were Debts and other Com
plications That Madel Johns
Guilt Very Doubtful
To Soma

The prosecution of John Brown, upon
the charge of forgery fell fiat Tuesday
afternoon, and he went home in the
evening a free man. After the state had
shown that the names on the bond in
question were forged Brown took his
turn and proceeded to introduce evil
dence to show that he did not do 1t.
His claim was that he owed one Ben
ton Brown about $40 and that Benton
came to him and wanted him to pay 1t.
He says that he told him that he could
not do 1t then but that he was trying
to get to be guardian for his children
and If he got that he would get some
money then and would pay the bill
He also said that he told Benton that
he was having q hard time trying to
find someone to go on the bond Ben
ton told him If he would promise to pay
the account he would see that the bond
was fixed. John did so and in few
days Benton came around with the
bond signed alright.
When the children came of age they
wanted the money but John did not
have it on hand just then and so the
bondsmen were visited. This was the
first they knew their names were on
the bond and Brown claimed that this
was the first he knew that the names
were forged.
The defense made such a strong case
that the court and even the prosecution
saw there was nothing in the charge
and neither side made any argument.
Judge McCarty gave the jury a verdict
which read, mot guilty" and told them
to appoint one of their number fore
man and have him sign it. He told
them they could do the work right in
the jury box If they liked or could
go to their room, just as they liked.
| The jury went out, fixed the verdict up
| for the defendant and brought it into
| court Brown was thereupon discharg-
ed from further custody.

ESSIG ASKS
FOR RELEASE.
Wants to Be Relieved From All
of His Debts.
ONE is A JUDGMENT
That Was Obtained In Common Pleas Court
BY Young Woman In q Case
Where Breach of Promise
Was Alleged.

In the United States court at Cleve-
land Wednesday, William J.. Essig, of
Stark county, filed a petition in bank
ruptcy. He declared his debts to be
$4,267.21. Essig is a man who, a few
years ago, figured quite extensively in
the Stark county courts and 1t was here
that the bulk of his debts became con-
tracted. Making him bankrupt would
free him from a judgment of $4,000 Sc
cured against him for alleged breach of
promise.
The girl in the case was Mary McCof-
mack, comely maiden about 20 years
old who lives between Richville and
Bolivar. Essig at the time of the trou-
BILE was about 26 years old. He lived
with his father, William Essig, on a farm
near Richville.
j. j. Grant represented the young Ia
dy in the courts The first proceeding
against Essig was upon charge of pa
ternity preferred by the girl. He was
convicted and Mr.. Grant states that a
judgment of about $500 was rendered
against him. He paid up. Then Mr..
Grant brought suit for the young lady
for damages, claiming seduction and
breach of promise. The case was fought
through the court and the girl got a
judgment for $4,000. Attorney Grant
says Essig never paid cent of it and
he supposes the bankruptcy move is
made now to get out of the whole mat
ter. 1t is said he simply owes more than
he can pay and wants to start over.
The girl with her child is still living
with her father and Essig is also at his
old home near Richville.
Attorney G. C. Bow, who represented
Essig in the various actions against him
is out of the city, and could not be seen
with reference to any assets that Essig
may have.

1f A MAUDRU CLAIM.
The old case of Ohio VS. Maudru ct al,
which has been bobbing up in court for
the past several years at each new term,
finally came to trial Thursday after
noon in Judge McCarty's room. The lit
igation involves $500, with interest and
penalties. The plaintiff alleges that
during Treasurer Maudru,s term $500
were collected under a special tax on
telegraph and express companies in the
county. There was some litigation on
the law and the tax was not. placed on
the duplicate at the time for that rea-
son. When the settlement was made
with the Maudru estate these items of
tax were overlooked. Later they were
discovered and suit brought to collect.
Prosecutor Pomerene represents the
county and John G.. Welty the Maudru
estate Just before trial Mr.. Welty ask
ed the court to be allowed to amend the
answer to state that no such sums of
money were collected by Mr. Maudru,
and If they were, that he had already
settled for them. The court would not
allow the amendment. The jury was
empaneled and sworn and the case
commenced.
