AN UNDERCURRENT
Of Feeling With Reference to
the Election Of w. w. Hole
by Attorneys.

Special to the News-Democrat.
Lisbon, May 9.-Though Judge Wells made
a speech yesterday after the bar of Columbi ana
county had voted in favor of hisopponent and
pledged himself to stand by that decision,
there is an undercurent of dissatisfaction. 1t
is claimed by friends of Judge Wells that he
had the popular vote in the county and had
the majority Of the votes of the attorneys
up to short time before the bal.
lot was taken. 1t is said that a
well known Lisbon attorney took an unwar-
ranted part in the proceedings and that he
cast the influence Of himself and friends with
the Hole people at the last moment. The
Lisbon attorneys caused the defeat of Judge
Wells. 1t is claimed that devious ways were
pursued by those who compassed the defeat Of
Judge Wells, and that he will not be able to
control his friends and succeed in getting
tn m to vote for Hole or in any manner sup
port him.

RUNNING AS USUAL,
The Russell Company Whistle Calls It's
Numerous Employees to Work
Tuesday Morning.

Special to the News-D Democrat.
Massllon, May 0.--The whistle on the
Russell shops blew as usual this morning, and
the workmen went to their work in rooms
that had an intense temperature because of the
close proximity Of the molten ruins and the
heat of the walls. Every department, save
the one that was destroyed, is in operation,
and all the men on the payroll are at work.
The rebuilding will begin as soon as the ruins
cool. The company has so many orders ahead
that it cannot ofiord to stop a minute, and the
destruction Of the finished product puts every
department at work night and day to replace
them.
There is difference of opinion as to the loss
and all the members Of the company do not
agree. 1t is argued that the 300 threshers
that were burned are valued at more than
the total that has been given out yet c. NJ.
Russell states that the whole loss is 500, 900,
and it will not go beyond that figure Some
place the loss at quarter Of a million, but as
the plant had ample blanket insurance, there
seems to be no reason why the company
should make a misstatement of the total loss
as it can make no difference IN its standing in
the commercial world. For that reason the
statement OF the officers is taken with more
seriousness. There is $4,000 insurance on
the building and on the whole plant and con-
tents there is an insurance of S450000.
Massillon is in mourning for her heroic dead
today, and homage is also paid to the living
fireman who was buried under a falling wall,
though lucky enough to escape with life.
Foreman Baatz We most seriously hurt but
has a chance for recovery. His left leg was
crushed, his jaw broken and bruises and So.
we're burns covered his body. He was taken
home and Is resting as easy as possible today.
Albert Bamberger was one Of Russell and
Company's employees, and leaves wife and
two infant children. He was but 90 years of
age and popular among the shop men. He
was the fifth member of his family.
Just 20 years ago this month a portion of
Russell and company's machine works were
burned.

But the Distressing Feature is That a
Human Life Was Lost at a Fire in the
Russell Shops, at Massillon.

q small building, but did no further damage.
The plant Of Russell and company is one OF
the largest of the kind in the world, and is
conceded to be the largest in the United States.
It covers number of acres Of ground. and
considering the immensity of the plant the
loss by last nights FIRE is small. The officers
are: j. W. McClymonds, president; J. X,
Russell, vice president @. NJ Russell, secre
tary. President McClymonds is in Europe.
The gentlemen could not give statement of
the loss last night, but placed it at about s75,
900. The members of the company feel that
it was fortunate that only the wareroom was
burned, as they can proceed with their work
in other departments. They declare tn I not
a man shall lose any time, and that those who
worked in the department that was burned
will be o rployed in assisting to rebuild and in
the rush that will be evidenced in other de-
partmeuts. The officers Of the company say
that they will take care Of the family Of the
dead valunteer fireman. who gave up his life
fighting to save their property.

COLLEGES UNITING.
Canal Dover Special Says That
Alliance is Likely to Lose a
Helpful Institution.

Canal Dover, May Git is had on the best of
authority that the consolidation of Mount
Union college at Alliance, o., and scio college,
at New Philadelphia, three miles from here,
has been consummated and that only the
details are to be arranged. This will be done
by joint meeting of the trustees of both
colleges to be held at scio next Thursday.
At different times the consolidation of the
two colleges has been predicted, but it was not
until recently that such move was seriously
contemplated. The advantages to be derived
from consolidation are manifest. Heretofore
each college has encroached on the territory of
the other and there has been a spirited rivalry
between them in securing students. The
result was that tuition, board and other
college expenses were cut down to the bottom
notch,
It is proposed to make a strong and vigorous
institution out Of both. 1t Is believed that the
new college will be located az New Philadel.
phia OF Scio. Mount Union for time hitched
on this point, bu has now agreed to consoi.
date and relocate wherever the Scio trustees
may wish.

Mr.. Edwin NJ. seeley and Miss Lucy Jones,

the couple was well aboard an Inter-Urban

LOSS OF LIFE
The Most Serious Feature of the Fire,
as the Property Loss is Com
paratively Small.

Special to the News-Democrat.
Massillon, May 9.-The fire which visited
this city Monday night was not the largest in
point of property loss that has occurred in
Massillon, that feature being comparatively
small, but it was the first fire for many years
that caused the death of anyone. 1t was hot,
quick blaze, and was soon over.
Massillon people were greatly concerned
when they learned the location of the fire. The
Russell shops employ between 700 and 800
men and the destruction of the plant would be
n serious blow to the business interests of the
: city. So every man, woman and child turned
out and the fremen were given every assist
ance that could with safety be given.
The fire started in the paint shop. Just how,
is not learned. 1t quickly spread to the whole
structure but as it was supposed to be fire.
proof, the fremen thought they could save it.
They were doing well in that direction when
an accident occurred that cast pail over the
surroundings and has cast gloom over the
entire city. Two Firemen, Albert
Bamberger and Christ Baatz, were
working at tramway between
the burning paint room and the machine shop
There was a covering over this structure, and
the men stood there throwing water onto the
blaze and doing all in their power to keep it
from spreading. They could not see that the
wall of the paint shop which lowered above
their position, was topping and they worked
away, obliviOus of their danger, till the wall
came down with a crash and ushered Bam-
berger into eternity and injured Baatz so
seriously that his recovery will be tedious.
But for this accident 1t is believed the fire
would have been confined to the paint
shop. As soon as it was learned that
two of their comrades were buried beneath
the immense pile Of brick the fremcn who
had been doing yeoman service in stopping the
spread of the flames, quit fighting the fire and
began to dig for their comrades. Bamberger
was dead when taken out half an hour later,
and Baatz was so badly hurt that his life was
despaired Of w | O the fremen were engaged
at this work the blaze gained great headway
and when they returned 10 their task il was

FIGHT OVER A CHICKEN,

Maggie Jordan, the East Greenville young
woman who was indicted by the grand jury
for alleged shooting with intent to kill and
who tainted dead away at the court house,
Monday afternoon, as exclusively detailed in
the News-Democrat, was locked up in the
county Jail last evening at o'clock. Miss
Jordan is prepossessing young woman who
insists that she did not shoot at May Harmon,
the complainant in the case but only shot in
in the air to frighten her. Miss Jordon came
to Canton with her attorney and bondsman
yesterday, but the bondsman failed to qualify
and the unhappy girl tainted and then passed
the remainder of the day in weeping. A young
man, who seemed very much interested in the
prisoner who occupied one of Clerk
Casselman's offices, arrived in the
afternoon. He was at Miss Jo1.

burst into tears. 1t was sorrowful pair and
Deputy Clerk Bliss bit his lip and chewed
away the few remaining hairs of his once
luxurant mustache in an endeavOr to check
the salty flow which threatened to pour forth
and flood his mayoralty bosom.
At O'Clock, bondsmen failing to come tc
the young woman's assistance, she was
escorted to the county Jail and placed in
the cell recently occupied by Mrs. Anna E.
George. There were more tears but furt lel
than that demonstration of grief Miss Jordan
seemed resigned to her position. The trouble
which led to her arrest is said to have beer
caused by chickens which were allowed to rur

LIMITED APPARATUS.
MassillOn Has Not an Extensive Fire
Department, but 1t Does
Good Work.

Special to the News-Democrat.
Massillon, May 9.-The Massillon fire de-
partment is composed of one hose reel and
engine, which is controlled by five regular
fremen. At different sections of the city are
located three hose reels, which sre attend
by minute men, of whom there are twenty.
They also have three thousand feet of hose.
The water is furnished from a big standpipe
in the northeastern section of the city and
from which good pressure is received.
Great credit is due to the Massillon fire de
partment for the manner Of handling the
affair.

FRIGHTFUL INJURIES.
Sustained by Being Run Over by
a Loaded Wagon.
DEATH MAY SOON RESULT
Though Physicians Have Hope That His
Life VIII be Spared Louis BourGoin
Was EndeavorIng TO Find
Work When Hurt.

Louis Bourquin, an unmarried msn, resid
ing with his mother at AZ wherry court, met
with frightful accident Tuesday morning at
7:30 o'clock which may terminate fatally.
Bourquin has been out of work for some time
and meeting an acquaintance, who was driving
along West Tenth street, near Cleveland ave.
nue., he approached him and asked
him If he knew where he could get
work. The driver Of the wagon
which belonged to Harry Corl, the contractor,
and was loaded with paving blocks, entered
into conversation with Bourquin and con-
tinuod on his way. Finally the driver asked
Bourquin to jump on the wagon and he made
an attempt to do SO but slipped and fell in
front of the wagon. The front wheel passed
over his chest but he managed to escape the
rear wheel. Bystanders rushed TO his assis-
tance, carried him to the side
walk and summoned DR.. FraHnfelter who
was soon on the scene. The injured
man was taken to his home in DR.. Fraunfel-
ter's carriage and an examination showed that
he was terribly injured. The ribs on the left
side were crushed in; the collar bone was
brok en- the left leg was broken and besides
internal injuries the man suffered greatly from
the shock. DIR. Faunfelter desired to remove
him to the hospital but he objected saying he
wanted his mother to nurse him. Eye wit
nesses differ in their opinions as to whether or
not the wagon wheel passed entirely over the
PROSTATE man. DIR. Fraunfelter stated this
afternoon that his patient may live but 1t will
require months to effect restoration to health.

The following dispatch from Columbus
makes interesting reading for the politically
inclined;
A big fight is to be made for the delegation
to the Republican tate convention from Stark
county. The home county of the President is
to be invaded by the bold Kurtz lmen. The
fight in Stark is to be led by State Labor Com

cation and Jones himself is bound to get there,
at all hazards. He says his home township

be able to easily select his delegates from them

delegates from IL Q townships should have the
right to say VINO shall represent them in the
