Letter From Manila.

Elbert w. Owen, of this place,
now with the Washington volun-
teers vt Manila, has written a series
of interesting letters to his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. p. w. Owen. The
letters form a sort of diary Of
events for three or four days previ-
Gus to, and three or four days after,
the first big battle, 10 which Insur-
gents commenced hostilities. The
letters are full of interest, but space
prevents our reproduction this
week of more than one-the letter
written the day following the bat
tie, in which Gilbert was wounded.
1t follows;
MANILA, Feb. Dear Mother:
/ will just write few lines before
| go TO bed.
Long before you get this letter
the papers will have told the awful
tale of that night on which the
Washington boys almost met their
doom. AS | had expected we were
ordered out about 9:30, marched
out about a mile then turned to the
right and moved out into a rice
field, marched about one hundred
yards to the bank of a small creek
and were then told to lie down and
wait orders.
All along on our left for almost
two miles the roar eff guns told us
the fight was on and from the sound
it was no childs play. Situated
as we were in the damp rice field
we were beginning to shake with
cold. Our clothes were wet through
and we began to think we would
have no fighting to do that night
At last it came. About 2 O'Clock il
the morning the insurgents fired
three or four random shots in oul
direction. then all was quiet fol
almost a hour. Then the insur.
gents, hid by the tall grass on tn,
other bank. had crawled to within
about 80 yards of out line, opened
fire with over a thousand guns
Then we started in. We returned
that fire with interest. l had 15(
rounds and before five O'Clock the,
were all gone, then someone cam,
down the line aud gave me 100
rounds more. My gun had got $,
hot that the barrel almost burned
my hand 1t was now day ligh
and we could see what we wer
firing at. Just about seven o'clocl
had only II rounds in my bel
and four in my hand. l turned o.
my side and said to the boy on M
right, "Ted, / have only Is round
left, wonder when they will brin
any more" Just then / got
bullet in the neck. For short tim
l was confused, then the capital

Arrangements had practically
been completed to bury Kay in the
potters field, but Contractor M.
Spellacy, Kay's employer, appeared
at Billow's Office Friday morning and
said he would pay all burial expens-

unfortunate man was placed in it.
just before Contractor Spellacy
started for Akron he learned that
Kay's fellow workmen wero getting
up fund to defray burial expenses.
He stopped the kind hearted men
from doing this, stating that he
would pay all expenses himself.

TWO JURORS
Sitting on the Jennings-Rapid Tran
sit Case Have Died.

A strange, tragic co-incident con-
nected with the sudden death by
heart disease of Juror Fred w.
Boies of Boston township, Tuesday
evening, is that about a year ago
Arthur Chittendon, also of Boston,
and juror, was killed while putting
machinery in a -four mill.
And it is singular that each sat in
the Jennings-Rapid Transit case.
Mr.. Chittenden year ago was on
the jury during the hearing in the
case of Miss Gertie Jennings, per
claims for damages done her by a
collision of cars, and Mr.. Boies was
a member of the jury that a few
weeks ago sat in the case conducted
by Gertie's mother, Mrs. Nora Jen-
nings, against the same company
and for same cause.

Matters Regarding Developments Kept
Very Quiet.

A current rumor is that the HoIniny
mill plant of the American Cereal
company, located on North Howard
ST., near West North ST., has been
sold. In fact, it is known definitely
that contracts of sale were signed
/ Wednesday, but further information
is not available.
Chas. Esselburn, real estate deal
er, is in charge of the negotiations.
A reporter for the DEMOCRAT called
on Mr.. Esselburn, but he positively
refused to discuss any matter con-
cerning the sale. He neither denied
nor confirmed any reports.
1t is learned, however, that three
fourths of the capital invested is con-
trolled by persons outside of this
city. A number of Akron business
men are interested in the enterprise.
Just what the new concern pro-
poses to manufacture is not known.
1t is said the plant will be converted
into a light manufacturing establish
ment, and that a large number of
men will be employed.
Operations will likely begin within
the next few months, as in about
two weeks work of placing machinery
in the plant will begin.
just why so much secrecy pre-
dominates in the matter, is exciting
much speculation. The hominy
mill has not been in operation for a
number of years. The building is
four stories high, 120 feet long and 40
feet wide.
The sale is an assured fact, and the
further assurance is given that o per-
alton will be in the hands of 10 cal
men, despite the greater amount of
capital being furnished by out
siders.

DRAGON
With the Fiery Eyes,
Caused MIR. Fenn's Horse
to Drop Dead
During the Free Street
Fair Parade.
Owner Wants a Hundred
Dollars Damages.
Has Engaged a Lawyer to Take
His Case.

A peculiar echo of the Akron Street
Fair and Carnival was heard today.
1t will be remembered that on Fri
day of the Fair, when the formidable
Chinese dragon was moving leisurely
along South Howard st. in the pa
rade, as sort of protectorate to Col.
Sieber's Celestial legation, horse,
tethered to post at the side of the
street, was frightened to death by the
forbidding appearance of the mon
ster.
The dragon had fierce, flaming,
blinking eyes, ugly horns, cavernous
nostrils that snorted hell fire, and a
red, SOLDERING mouth, of dinosaurian
proportions, that was filled with
shaggy teeth and inspired the be-
holder with awe, and dread of the
wrath to come.
At the first sight of the dragon,
something which it did not meet with
every day in the quiet lanes and
highways of Tallmadge township,
the poor horse tried to stand on its
head, then keeled over and died.
The horse doctor pronounced it case
of heart failure.
Now it is that the owner of the
horse, Mr.. F. F. Fem, of Tallmadge
has engaged Attorney Nation O.
Mather to file claim against the
Street Fair Executive committee fol
500 damages.
The petition will name P. E. Wer-
ner, Henry Perkins, Fred E. Smith
r. II. Wright, 81. B. Manton, 6. w.
Sieber and n. L. Snyder as defend
ants.
1t is coincidence that the dragon
did not long survive the horse, being
consumed next day by fire while
taking an afternoon nap.

AFTER reading the speeches deliv-
erred at the Garfield club banquet
last Monday evening, Judge G. R.
Grant wrote a very interesting re-
view, giving, his impressions of some
iof the speeches for the readers of
.{RHE DEMOCRAT. It will be pub
lished In tomorrow's paper. Judge
Grants article, written in his usually
! thoughtful, incisive and entertaining
lstyle, uncovers SO many examples
of Inconsistency, unwarranted con-
clusions, and dense ignorance, that
some of those who delivered the
lspeeches ought to be ashamed to
acknowledge them. When it is
recalled that one of the speakers, a
minister of the gospel, likened the
democratic party to bed bug-as if
lhe regarded his coarse jest to be the
very essence and refinement of w.t.
the propriety of review such as
will do full justice to the occasion is
more than apparent. THE DEMO-
.CRAT commends Judge Grants arti-
jcle to every citizen, whether Demo-
Icrat or Republican, for a careful
Reading.
