BLINKENSDERFER
INSPECTING ROAD.
Wheeling Officials Come Over to
Inspect Their Property.
TOOK DINNER IN THE CAR
And Then Started For Sherrodsville to See
What Kind of Road They Had
Purchased Going Back
Tonight.

A party of Wheeling g. Lake Erie
officers, including President Blinkens-
derfer, arrived in the city at 1915
Tuesday, on special train over the G.
G. & S. r. r. AS is noted in another
column of this issue, the C. G. g. S.
passed into the control of the Wheel

ner.
Superintendent Kennedy, of the G. c.

WILL RUN AN
AUTOMOBILE.
Unique Method of TranspOrta-
tiOn to Congress Lake.
WILL CARRY SIXTEEN PEOPLE
And VIII Make Regular Trips Between
Canton and a Well Known Summer
Resort-The Plans Not
Perfected.

If there is no hitch in the negotia-
tions now pending, an automobile will
be running between Canton and Con-
gress Lake in the near future. The
present plan is to procure one that will
carry sixteen passengers and make the
trip one way in an hour, but If the
speed requirement increases the cost
very materially, it will be changed. 1t
is believed that the members of the
Congress Lake company, will
aid the enterprise by a
liberal purchase of fifty trip tickets
Additional patronage will come from
North Canton, Middlebranch, Hart
vile and along the route, as it is ex'
pected that many will want to enjoy
the novelty OF ride in the horseless
carriage.
Rates of fare cannot be fixed until
the exact cost of operating is ascer'
tanned, but it is predicted that they
will be much lower than the present
rail road rates.

ATTRACTED THEM.
Wooster Republican,

Among the attractions in Canton, OF
interest to Wooster Methodists who
picnicked in that city Thursday, was
The Miller Company's housefurnishing
store which has been advertised so
persistently and interestingly in the
columns OF The Republican. A large
number visited the store before going
to Meyers Lake for the day. These
people speak in glowing terms of the
mammoth concern, which, If their ex-
preston may be used as criterion,
is far more extensive than they had
anticipated. The Miller Company
gave special after tion to their Woos'
ter visitors, and this is commented up
on most favorably.

I.ev. G. Treiber, the popular and we'll
known priest in charge Of the Catholic
church at Crestline, has been chosen
to take charge Of the new Catholic
church to be erected in this city in a
short time. Rev. Treiber Ia prominent
In church work and the new congrega-
tion is desirous of his assistance, there
fore the appointment followed by the
bishop. The reverend gentleman will
move to this city as soon as he possibly
arrange to do so, and will at once take
charge of the building OF new con-
sregation and other work allied with
the new church.
1t has been established that those
members of St. Johns and St. Pc
ter's churches residing south Of the
Fort Wayne railway; in the south,
southwest and southeast portions OF
the city, also those people residing on
East Seventh, East Eighth and East
Ninth streets, who find it convenient
to attend the new church, are permit
ted to do so, where the distance for
them is shorter than to the present
churches. 1t is also stated on reliable
authority that St. Johns and st. Peters
churches each will contribute $4,000 to
the construction of the new building,
which will be of material assistance to
the building fund. The breaking OF
the ground will take place just as soon
as contracts can be advertised and let,

PRIMARY DATE
IS AUGUST 10.
The Action of the State COnven-
tiOn Changes the Date.
THE STATE CONVENTION DATES
Were Changed to August 28 and 30, as
Announced In an Extra Edition of
the News-Democrat Mon
day Evening.

An extra edition Of the News-Demo-
crat announced Monday evening the
action of the Democratic State COM
mittee in changing the date of the
Democratic State convention to Aug
ust 2S and 20, This was done purely
as an accommodation to the GAINESVILLE
people. They had several affairs in the
following week, and as they desire to
do the thing right, they wanted the
convention held there when it could be
given exclusive attention. So the date
was changed.
This change Of date changes the an
nounced dates of the Democratic prim-
aries in Stark county, to select dele
gates to the state convention and to
name a county ticket. The central
committee rule provides that the pri-
maries be held on the second Saturday
preceding the state convention. This
makes the Democratic primaries on
the 10Th OF August.

FOUR CLERKS
ARE LUCKY
But They Cannot Figure Just
Who the Four Will Be.
AN ALLOWANCE FOR CANTON.
Four of the Office Employees at the Post
Office VIII Receive an Addition
of 800 Each to Their
Salaries.

Clerks in the Canton postoffice are
greatly interested in new order issued
by the postal authorities, but just who
of the number ought to smile is what
is puzzling them. The new order gives
$1OO additional salary to about 180
clerks in Ohio. OF these 16 are in
Cleveland. Four are in the Canton
Office, but the clerks do not know what
four will be pleasantly affected, The or
der is result OF law passed by congress
last year, and not through any special
local efforts. Word of the allowance
for Ohio first came through the post
master at Cleveland. The clerks are
figuring on who the lucky men are.

FIRE IN A COFFIN.
Cigarette Fiend Comes Near Making
Feigned Death the Real
Thing.

pended animation at Fall River, Mass,
came near ending in cremation, the fire
in his coffin being discovered just in
time. Atheno went to sleep on Monday
night and intended to wake up on Sat

Chicago, June 27,-Armour g. 90.
this morning granted the demand of
their striking employees and put into
effect the wage scale of 1893. This
means a general increase of wages of
from 10 to 25 per cent, and will un-
doubtedly prevent the big strike sched-
uled for July lst. 1t is believed that
the other packers will follow Armour's
lead and adopt the '93 ascale. About
800 employees of Swift-Morris & Upton
were out this morning. Two dozen
messenger boys failed to report for
duty at Swift's this morning. The boys
object to working on Sunday and at
night without extra pay. There was
no trouble at the yards up to noon and
the entire force of police that was called
out yesterday has been withdrawn.

Mays, subcontractor working for E. Sax
ton, was charged by Humane Officer
Reiplinger with beating two horses hauling
the wagon over the heads with the loaded
end of a whip. McFadden was fined $50
which was paid.
Mr.. Mays was charged with overlooking
the horses, but showed he had no knowl-
edge of such overlooking, and he was dis
charged.
James A. McWilliams, arrested by HUI

Oh, Mr.. Auditor Castle is all right!
IN. y" says: i note with pleasure the
reply of H" in this evenings Star TO
Auditor Castles astonishing statement that
his clerks by reason of the use of time
clocks are given credit for over time. The
question as to the hours of labor of gov
eminent clerks is settled by statutory
enactment, with which Auditor Castle or
any other official below the rank of cab
met officer has nothing whatever to do.
Consequently there is no legal method by
which clerk may obtain credit" for over
time, and it is a very fortunate thing for
all concerned that such is the case. Reg
uiar hours are necessary for the proper
and uniform administration of the govern
ments affairs. Therefore to give even
taclt credit to a clerk who works over
time is not only Illegal, but manifestly inn
proper. If Auditor Castle has evolved a
plan from out of his inner consciousness,
VIII he please explain his method?
