LAWRENCE AVE.
CHURCH CLOSED.
Could Not Pay the Mortgage to
the First M. E.
OTHER DEBTS CONTRACTED
And There Was Not Sufficient Field For
the Church to Continue Its Work
In the Saving of
Souls.

The Lawrence avenue Methodist
church has decided to close it's doors
and cease to be an independent factor
in the religious work of Canton. The
congregation has been unable to pay the
debts and make things go and it finally
concluded to give 1t up. Monday morn
ing Miller and Pomerene, representing
w. w. Pumphrey, r. N. Ball, Henry
Aston, Leander l.. Mcclure, Frank
e. Norris, Louis Smith, Charles Arm
strong, Isaac Hershey, and Charles
Tinker, the trustees, filed a petition in
common pleas court asking for permis-
sion to dispose Of the church property.
The petition says that the congregation
decided October to give up the church
and close services. On October 9th the
trustees ratified that action. The
church was built and the lot bought
with money furnished by the First
Methodist church. The petition says
the Lawrence avenue church owes the
First Methodist $500 with interest
from 1893. 1t has never been able to
pay even the interest and therefore asks
permission to deed the whole property
over to the First Methodists in settle
ment of the note and mortgage.

WELTY ADDRESSED
GREAT MEETING.
Given a Splendid Ovation In
the City of Mansfield.
HE DISCUSSED THE ISSUES
And the Democrats are Satisfied That He
"Convincingly Convinced" the
Voters of Richland
County.

Hon. John c. welty, Of Canton, had
a magnificent meeting at Mansfield last
week. The Mansfield Shield says of the
meeting:
The Democratic rally at Memorial op-
era house last evening was one of the
most successful ever held in Richland
county. Long before the speaker of the
evening arrived the house was packed to
suffocation. Every seat was occupied
and the corridor and aisles were filled,
and the beauty Of the whole thing was
that with every one with one accord
pronounced it one of the best meetings
the Democrats have ever held in Mans
field. w. p. Huntington, of the Colum-
bus-P Press Post, sent word at the last
moment that he would be unable to be
present. Judge N. M. Wolfe. as chair
man, opened the meeting with few re-
marks, and introduced s. M. Mcmillan,
of the Shield. who spoke for about ten
minutes. At this point Hon. j. G.
Welt. the speaker of the evening, ar
rived and amid cheers was escorted to
the stage where he was introduced by
Judge Wolfe.
Mr.. Welty spoke for one hour and
ten minutes, and held his audience spell
bound by his arguments and when they
left the hall they were the most con-
vincingly convinced" one could wish to
see. The speaker took up the Demo-
cratic platform adopted at GAINESVILLE
and went through it from beginning to
end demonstrating with apt illustra-
tions each point brought out.
He spoke at length on the money
tquestion, expounding the case Of Will
liam j. Bryan and silver. He rehearsed
in brief the "crime of '73" laying par
in which the soldiers of the civil wal
had been hoodwinked.
He scored the presidents Philippine
policy roundly and said, and rightly
too, that we were doing in the Philip.
pines exactly what we had objected tc
in Spain when the Spanish government
had attempted to hold Cuba. He wa.
very forcible on this point. An allianc,
with England at this time above al
! others would be most offensive in 81
much as they are at present repeating
the acts of Spain in Cuba and follow
ing the lead of the present admins
tration set forth in the Philippines.
He denounced Imperialism and all O.
it's promulgators and exponents. H,
went from this point to a discussion
of the labor problem. He demonstrated
in conclusive manner the course pur
sued by trusts. He showed just how
they managed to advance the price o
an article to at least three-fold and IL
like manner failed to advance the wage
of the laboring men in anything like {
proper ratio. He concluded his mos
admirable speech with a beautiful trib
ute to John r. Mclean and William ]
Bryan and closed amid rousing "thre
cheers" from the enthusiastic audience

CANTON SUED.
Walnut Street Sewer the Basis
Of an Action In
Court.

The city of Canton was sued this af-
ternoon in common pleas court for 81, 900
damages by reason of the floods that
have in years past been prevalent on
North Walnut street. The plaintiff is
Sarah j. Green. She recites in her pc
tition which was filed by Welty and
Albaugh, that the freshets caused
water to run in her cellar. destroyed the
cellar wall until it fell in and wrecked
the house. Last June the board of pub
lie safety condemned the place and she
had to tear 1t down. She says 1t was
worth $1,000 and but for the negligence
of the city in not providing proper sew
ers would be all right She therefore
sues for that amount.

FOOTBALL PLAYERS
BADLY INJURED.
One Has a Broken Ankle, the
Other a Broken Hip.
WILL BE LAID UP SOMETIME.
Result of the Football Game That VIII
Keep Two Good Players on the
Gridiron For Consider
able Time.

Henry Mag and Charles Harding,
the two young men of the Tiger foot
ball team who were injured in the game
with the Imperials at Ma.haffey park
Sunday afternoon, were more severely
injured than was at first supposed.
Mag was taken to the office of DR..
Fraunfelter in buggy and on examina-
ton it was found that the small bone
in the right ankle was broken. The
bone was set and the young man taken
to his home at S25 Spring street. It will
be three or four weeks before he will be
able to use the injured member. Mag
has been exceedingly unfortunate in
his foot ball playing. 1t was only last
February that he sustained a broken
shoulder in an indoor game at Culp's
rink.
HARDINGS INJURIES.
Harding was removed to his home at
826 Gibbs street in an ambulance and
DR.. Fraunfelter called. The physician
found that the hip bone was badly in
jured. The bone was broken close to
the spinal column and the muscles of
the back were also injured. 1t was
thought at first, on examination, that
the injuries might prove permanent but
the physician stated today that in his
opinion Harding would come around all
right but that he would not be able to
be out for several weeks.

THREE DISCUSSES
That President Mckinley Assumes In His
Stump Speeches.
(New York Worldly

(New York Worldly
Mr.. McKinley's 46 stump speeches in
defense of his Philippine war show that
his favorite words are Patriotism"
THE Flag" and Providence" AS
there are many and wide variations be-
tween the text of his speeches as
unofficially reported and the text given
.ut by his oratorical press censor, Mr..
Cortelyou, it is impossible to give the
exact figures. An approximation is:
PATRIOTISM NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 1873 times
The Flag NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 176 timse
Providence NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 104 times
If reference to patriotism, the flag and
providence were included the totals
would be swollen to more than 500, 400
and $50 times respectively.
A careful reading of the whole series
of orations discloses two interesting
facts:
l. That in Mr.. McKinley's mind the
three words are synonyms, which he
uses as exigencies of oratory direct to
convey a single idea.
2. That all three are masks Of mod
esty worn by the pronoun of the first
person singular
Disguised as providence" Mr.. Nc
Kinley bought the Philippine war from
Spain. Disguised as the flag" he has
been and is "assimilating" Filipinos,
with the soil Of their native land.
Disguised as patriotism" he is shouting
for the confounding of all traitors who
dare to murmur against his performan-
ces as providence or his deeds as
"the flag"
The country is sincerely to be con-
graduated upon the opportunity for
getting personally acquainted with it's
president which Mr.. Mckinley is now
giving it,

MONGOLIAN PHEASANTS.
The Birds Are Said to Be Multi
plying Along the River.

Many persons have bewailed the sup
posed fact that various small lots of
Monaghan pheasants put out in this
State have not done well. and some
have argued from this that for some
unknown reason they will never become
plentiful
The real fact is, however that where
the few birds turned loose have had
protection they have increased in num-
bers. Some years ago five hens and
one cock were put out on Arcade Creek,
near John Mackey's residence on the
Haggin ranch. Only two of the hens
were in good condition, and the others
probably died.
The next season two broods of young
pheasants were seen in that vicinity,
but latterly no reports have been re-
ceived until quite recently. Now it
is said that several of the birds have
been seen on the ranch, and that there
are quite number on the bottom lands
along the Sacramento River, between
this city and Nicolaus, Suffer County.
1t is also reported that the birds turn
ed out on the Rideout, ranch in SUIT
ter County are increasing.
1t is to be hoped that hunters will
refrain from killing these birds for sew
eral years yet, so that this part of the
State may become well stocked by
them.

4 DAY WITH The AMATEURS.
SOME HIGH OLD BASEBALL AT
OAK PARK.
It Was for Charity, However, and
the Result Was $1l5-Some
Other Games

In the benefit game of ball at Oak
Park yesterday afternoon the Old
Leakers lined up before several hun
dred people and the fun was fast and
furious. The gang representing Jim
& Jim" proved contrary to expectations,
stronger than that representing Jim
& Harry and won by a score of to
Z, the contest lasting for seven fast
rounds =
The heat was whitening and base
hits, TALES and errors only served as
sauce for the crowd. There were many
features of the game, among which
were Merkley's work in the box, Han
mons home run and incidental clever
errors on both sides.
Three umpires were worn out and
such a lot Of funny old fans has not
been seen on a local diamond for moons
and moons. There were laughs anu
smiles for all, and an occasional clever
play recalled to the "old uns' who oiled
the bleachers the days when the Old
Leakers were colts and put up a cham
pionship article of ball. The proceeds
of the game, about $115, will go to Will
lam Sullivan, well-known baseball
player who has been on the sick list.

Ell DoRADo's ORDINANCES.
A Sacramento Visitor Makes Som
Remarks Thereon.


One of the many Sacramentans now
sojourning in the mountains of Ell Do
rado writing to a friend in this city.
says of a discovery he has made there:
'I have discovered that the county
has an ordinance which makes it a
misdemeanor for anyone to buy or sell
any speckled trout taken in any rivers
or streams of the county or to ship
or carry out of the county any trout
caught in the rivers or streams of the
county
II am therefore prohibited from send
ing down to any of my friends any
trout I may catch, unless they are
caught in some of the lakes, and also
from bringing down with me any brook
trout when I come. And this ordi-
nance is direct blow also at the dear
est of the anglers vested rights-that
of buying fish to make a show with
y hen he cannot catch any himself. 1t
is an infringement on the rights of
American citizens.
Seriously speaking, however, the or
dinance is against the interests Of the
county, and a prominent citizen of Ell
Dorado so acknowledges it and says it
would have been more drastic if he had
not been able to secure some modifica-
lions before it's passage. 1t is also
liable to involve in trouble some of
the pleasure seekers who are not aware
of its provisions.
II venture to say that, had the valley
people known of it before laying their
plans, Ell Dorado would have hardly
had a corporal's guard of campers this
season, and will feel it next year."
