Tarring Has Unpleasant
RecoIIections
OF Visit of Canton Industrial Carnival
Company to Akron.

Robert Tarring, who conducts a
hotel at lis North Howard St., does
not have pleasant recollections in
reference to Col. Gaskill's stay in
the city during the week of the Elks'
street fair.
Col. Gaskill was manager of the
midway. Tarring says that Gaskill
contracted with him to board II per-
SONS at 81 a head per week, for the
week beginning July Is.
That week Mr.. Tarring entered
suit in Justice Thomas court against
Gaskill for s25 damages for breach of
contract. The charge was made
against The Canton Carnival COM
pany. In that it did not read 1.-The
Canton Industrial Carnival COM
pany," Mr.. Tarring could not attach
anything.
He has decided to let the matter
drop, and everything in the midway
goes merrily on somewhere.

LARGEST
Shipment In the Erie
Railroads History.
Record Breaking Business During the
Last Six Weeks.

A local official of the Erie road
said Friday to a reporter for the
DEMOCRAT, that the freight busi-
ness transacted at this place during
the past six weeks was larger than
any similar peroid of time within
the local history of the road. The
freight receipts for the past six
weeks amount to $4,000.
This amount might have been
more had it been possible to secure
all the cars needed during the past
three weeks, when business has been
exceptionally good.
The principal bulk of the traffic
loaded at this place is composed Of
grain and and grain products, lum-
ber, machinery and general mer-
chandise.
The Erie has recently had LOCO 3d.
foot box cars built by the Michigan
Car company at Detroit. These cars
are now being distributed along the
line. Many of them will be loaded
on the Cincinnati division, of which
Akron is part, for eastern points.

TWO DIED OF FEVER.
ice Officials Believe the Epidemic
Is Under Control.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Official re.
ports to the marine hospital service
from the Soldiers home, at Hampton,
showed that the yellow fever situation
there continued favorable. Surgeon
White reported to DIR. Wyman that
there was nothing suspicious in the
town Of Hampton.
There were no new cases and two
deaths at the home, according to the
report of DR.. Vickery, the surgeon of
the institution, sent to the surgeon gen.
eral. DIR. Vickery expressed the opinion
that the immune help on their way
there should be sufficient, as the epi-
demic seems to be checked. The cor
don around the home and the imme-
diately adjoining village of Phoebus,
Surgeon White says, is as tight as he
ever saw it at any place.
Surgeon General Wyman, in speak
ing of the situation, inferentially ut
tered a word of caution against too
sanguine views on the checking of the
epidemic at this time which might re-
suit in a relaxation of tine precautions
which should be maintained against
the spread of the fever.

Refused to Visit Chicago For Fear the
Governor General Would BE
InsuIted.

returned from Ottawa to Washing.
ton, where he went at the
instance of the committee of citi,
zens of Chicago, in charge of the

next October, by President Mckinley,
to arrange for the formal invitation and
expected acceptance of an invitation
from Ch1cago's citizens to the governor
general and cabinet of Canada to par
ticipate in those festivities.
He admitted that his official reception
was slightly chilly, Sir Wilfrid Laurier
very candidly telling him that under
the present conditions it would be i'm
possible Tor him to accept or even to
consider any social invitation to this
side OF the border.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick said that Sir Wilfrid
intimated that i'll the present state of
public feeling i'll the United States, as
indicated i'll the press, it would not be
entirely safe for the governor general and
himself TO visit Chicago, as he feared
that they might i'll a great gathering of
such character as the Chicago cere-
mony be subjected to some unpleasant
ness or indlgnity by thOughtless persons.
Sir Wilfrid expressed himself as strongly
in favor of arbitrating the Alaskan
boundary dispute.
He said he would advise the governor
general not TO accept the invitation.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick secured Sir Wilfrid' s
promise, however, to reconsider the
matter.

TIRED OF HIS THRONE.
Gear Nicholas Reported to Have Decided
to Abdicate-Delcasse to Try to
D;ssuade Him.

LONDON, Aug. On. de Blowitz, the
Paris correspondent of The Times, gave
an extraordinary explanation of the
present mission of NJ. Delcasse, the
French foreign minister, to Russia. He
asserted that it was decided upon quite
suddenly for treason which admitted
of 10 delay" and then gives the story,
which he says he has from ''a source to
which / am bound to attach import
ance." This is the explanation:
Emperor Nicholas is disappointed
and tired of the throne. The absence
of an heir excites his superstitious feel
ings and he connects himself with a
Russian legend, according to which an
heirless czar is to be succeeded by Gar
Michael, predestined to occupy Con-
stantinople.
"The death of the czarewitch and the
culture of the conference at The Hague
led him to decide to abdicate on the oc-
casion of his coming visit to Darmstadt
On this becoming known in Paris, NJ.
Delcasse was sent in hot haste to dis
suade him from carrying out this in
tention."

THE TREATY IN PERIL.

Fierce Opposition to Franco-American
Agreement In France.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Recent infor-
nation received here is to the effect
that the Franco-American treaty is in
rather precarious condition owing to the
opposition developed among the French
agricultural elements.
While the indications are that the
French government will be able to Sc
cure majorities if an issue is made on
the treaty, the unexpected violence of
the opposition gives cause for much So
hcitude among those instrumental in
bringing about the arrangement.
