With a Flat Iron Welded With
Telling Force by His
Wife.

Monday afternoon Officers Rohn
and Zimmerman arrested Charles Won
derly for disturbing the peace. When
brought into the police station he had
a long cash cut in his cheek, which the
officers stated was done by a flat-iron
in the hands of his wife. Mrs. Won
derly told the officers that her hus-
band has, upon several occasions abused
her. and that he arrived home Monday
noon and began a controversy with her
which concluded by Wonderly again
abusing his wife. The woman alleges
she struck him with the weapon in self
defense.
Mrs. Wonderly appeared before Mayor
Robertson Tuesday morning and filed
an affidavit against her husband charg-
ing him with disturbing the peace.
Wonderly was arraigned before the
mayor and several witnesses testified
against him, and the mayor concluded
that he was guilty of the charge and
he was assessed S. and costs. A friend
came to his assistance and paid his fine
and the costs and he was released.

LEAVE THE STATE.
That Was the Stipulation Made
In the Case of a Man Who
Was in Jail.

Louis Balford, who has been occupy
ing the county Jail for the past two
weeks, was released Tuesday and allow
ed to go. Attorney Earsman came over
from Louisville Tuesday and appeared
before Deputy Probate Judge Aungst, to
whom application was made to release
Balford on his own recognizance to ap-
pear at the December term of court.
This was done. and the prisoner again
breathes free air. Balford was bound
over to probate court from Louisville's
justice court on a charge of threatening
to kill his wife. 1t seems the parties to
the suit have agreed to give the defend
ant his liberty providing he leaves the
state. Balford agreed to go and will at
once start for Oregon. His first stop
will be at Fort Wayne, where his attor-
ney will provide him with means to con-
tinue his journey.

CAN IDENTIFY
DEAD SOLDIER.
Feature of the New Equipment
For Canton Company.
SOME OTHER CONvENIENCEs
In the Paraphernalia That Has Been Re-
ceived by the Canton Company
That Is Captained BY
M. A. Fisher.

The equipment which arrived for the
use of Company c of the local guards
was composed of eleven large boxes and
FIVE bundles, altogether weighing about
1900 pounds, considerably over a ton.
The equipment will be used for the first
time by the soldiery this Tuesday night,
1t will not be permanently issued to
them, however, until each piece, includ-
ing clothing, belts, caps, guns and trim
mings has been stamped with the letters
u. S. also the letter of the company, the
number of the regiment and the num-
ber of the particular member of the
company to whom the equipment was
issued. This latter provision is for the
purpose of Identifying the bodies of
such a soldier who may be killed in bat
tie or who may have received serious
wound which deprives him of the abil
ity of making himself known. The
numbers of the local company will run
from to 62, there being so many men,
bers allowed in accordance with the
equipment sent here. Captain Fisher
stated Tuesday morning that he had
over 100 applications and that those
over 62 in number will have to wait un-
til a member drops out of the ranks
when one of the applicants will be
chosen to fill the position. The work
of marking the equipment will be done
by the quarter master sergeant with a
stencil plate and will require consider
able time. The equipment contains, in
addition to the clothing, ammunition
and other material, an entire cooking
apparatus and utensils, including a
stove. This latter provision Is some
thing which the state has never issued
before to any of the companies An
other addition which has been made on
the part of the state is the providing of
ponchos or small sleeping tents for the
soldiers. Each soldier will carry with
him half of small tent and the sticks
for setting it up. Heretofore the state
has only furnished these upon special
occasions but they will now be regularly
supplied to the companies. The men
are expected to go together when they
arrive in camp and construct tent and
occupy it. New campaign hats will be
furnished the boys instead of the reg
ulation caps as used heretofore.
One of the most gratifying provisions,
to the soldiers at least, is the furnish
ing by the state to each member of the
guards of a suit of clothing. This suit
will be furnished at the end of each
year. Such members of the companies
who still retain their suit in good
state of preservation, so that 1t will
wear them for a second year, will be
allowed the price of one suit or SIG in
stead Of receiving the suit This fea-
ture has never before been established
on the part of the state. The boys had
their measurements taken some time
ago, and there is considerable trouble
connected with securing the same and 1t
was for that purpose that this provision
was made.

WORDY CONFLICT.
First Controversy in Canton
Concerning the Drey-
fuS Case.

Peter L. Pierson, about the only anti
Dreyfusard to be found in Canton, and
Mr.. Pierson is so very much enthused
over the verdict at Rennes that for the
past few days the halls Of the court
house have rung with his eloquence in
support of the action of the military tri-
bunal which has sent the unfortunate
Jewish captain to prison for ten years.
Mr.. Pierson stated his views in Auditor
Reeds Office Monday, but that official
aside from sending back few retorts,
proceeded with his office work.
Tuesday morning Mr.. Pierson again
appeared in the court house corridors
loaded with anti-Dreyfus argument and
proceeded to assert his opinions on the
case. Charles Silverman, one Of the
court house janitors, turned upon Pier
son. Campbell, the elevator man acted
as referee in the match, although he Is
staunch Dreyfusard, but after the
first round he Joined Silverman. Blows
were almost exchanged, and Pierson
made himself heard in the corridors and
officials came hurriedly out of their Of
fees to learn the cause Of the reverber-
ations. Silverman and Campbell con-
tended that Pierson had referred to the
Hebrews as "dirty Jews" Pierson said
he only called Dreyfus dirty Jew"
The wordy conflict would have reached
the punching stage had not cooler heads
persuaded the combatants that the trial
was all over and no good could come OF
the dispute under any circumstances.

SOWING WHEAT
When His Relatives Called to
Remind Him He Was Sew
enty Years Old.

About so of the near relatives of
Jesse Hershberger met at his home
near Louisville to remind him that he
had arrived at the 10th mile post of his
life. They found him in the field sowing
wheat and to say that he was surprised
is putting it mild. They persuaded him
to unhitch and about the time he arriv-
ed at the house the women, who are
ever thoughtful about satisfying the
inner man, had the table prepared for
dinner After dinner was over they all
listened to short literary program.
Charles Dewalt, in a neat speech in
behalf of the family, presented Mr..
Hershberger with a beautiful family
Bible. Mr.. Joshua Hershberger was
born in Osnaburg township in 1929. He
afterwards moved to Plain township,
where, by his industry and energy he
accumulated a fortune. Afterwards he
bought farm south of Louisville,
where he now resides surrounded by his
family and friends. Mr.. Hershberger
is well preserved for his age and says
that he can scarcely realize that he is
70 years old and to repeat his own
words: II feel as good as did when I
was forty" After singing few old
and familiar hymns, the photographer
arrived and took the picture Of the
family and friends, then all departed for
their several homes.

DO STREET
FAIRS PAY?
That Is the Problem MassillOn
Merchants Discuss.
SOME SAY THEY ARE HELPFUL
And Others Insist That They Are an Ex-
pensive Luxury--OpiniOns Expressed
BY Some of the
Leaders.

Massillon busines men are discussing
the proposition: Does a street fair
pay?" The Independent has interview
ed number of the merchants who had
exhibits on the street and their opinions
as to street fairs as an advertising me-
dunn differ as their experiences have
been different.
One merchant says: "This street fair
was good thing, and we favor another.
Through our exhibit we sold goods to
Youngstown people. Our expenses, in
Guiding booth space and labor, was
$125."
Another merchant says: Through our
exhibit here we made sales to people in
Chicago, Newport News Cleveland, To-
ledo, Uhrichsville, Strasburg, Canton
and Massillon. Everybody was given an
opportunity to examine our wares here.
We have been benefited by this fair, but
we cannot now speak about next year.
Expense, $35.
Another says IT don't think shall go
to the trouble again. I did some busi-
ness, but hardly enough to justify the
outlay of time and money. Expense,
$780,"
Here is an adverse opinion that shows
do not want another fair in the next ten
years. Our business was not as good as
usual while this fair was in progress.
Expense, $780,"
Nearly all the merchants declare that
If another fair is held next year it
should be free fair. All seem to favor
that plan If any at all.
Th projectors of the recent fair feel
we'll satisfied with the results. They
gave their time and energy to the sue
cess of the undertaking and that 1t was
we'll managed will be attested by every
one who visited the fair. Just how
much was cleared is not definitely
known. A few of the established facts
are that the gate receipts for the week
were S3,467.40, and that those of the
German village were 1851. Mr.. Shepley
does not know exactly what the expense
will amount to. He Is of the opinion
however that the association will clear
between $1,000 and $1,000. In the Ger
man village, during the week, 1880 gal
Ions of beer, 625 pounds of weinerwurst
and three barrels of sauerkraut were
sold.

OFFICIAL REPORT
OF the Condition of Joseph
Kieffer Received in
This City.

Mr.. Homer II. Hill, of 1148 Henry
avenue, wired the resident surgeon Of
the Presbyterian hospital, Philadel-
phia, Monday evening to get an off,
cial report of Joseph Keiffer's condi-
tion. The reply came this morning as
follows:
Joseph Keiffer is suffering from Sc
we're confusion of the right cheek, eye
and lip. He also has slightly lacerated

ed on the charge of being suspicious
person, and Urban, who is 20 years old,
is held on the charges of carrying con-
cealed weapons and assault and battery.
He had a loaded revolver in his pocket
when he was arrested. The arrests
were made by Patrolman O'Hara and
Gilbride, at the corner of Lake and Kent
streets, last night about 10 o'clock. The
police state that Urban is a paroled
prisoner of the Ohio Reformatory. ana
the police have been looking for him for
some time.
On July 16 some torn wearing appa-
rel was found on Wood street in a pool
of blood. At the time it was thought
that a murder had been committed.
Later it was found that Frank Lock-
wood had been assaulted. The police
believe that one of these men had some
connection with the assault. Urban is
wanted in Canton, it is stated, for
engaging in trouble there on September
5. He eluded the police of that place
after hard chase.

STRIP OF LAND
Was Negotiated For But Has
Never Passed Into the
Hands of the City.

An old time matter was revived in
the city council Monday night by a
communication received by Jacob
Eicher, requesting the council to take
action In the matter of securing strip
of land which lays along Mulberry
street adjoining Mr.. Eicher's property.
The communication stated that the
property had been negotiated for
August IA, 1871, but the proper transfer
was never made and the money con-
sideration never had been turned over
to the owner. The matter was referred
to committee who will investigate the
negotiation and make a report to the
council later on. The property is To-
Gated near the intersection of Null
berry and South Cherry street.

SETTLED WITH CREDITORS.
Prominent Business Man Turns His
Affairs Over For Their Benefit.
HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY ILL
And Could Not Give His Business Affairs
the Attention That They Demanded
One of the Prominent Men of
Canton In Financial
Trouble.

At 9 o'clock this morning trustees took
charge of the stock Of boots and shoes
of John D. Frank, located in the big
wholesale and retail salesrooms on the
public square. Mr.. Frank, owing to ILL
ness, has not been able to give his bus
mess affairs personal attention and
found recently that he was carrying
heavier burdens than he could bear.
Creditors desired claims liquidated and
Mr.. Frank desired to liquidate, but ar
rangements could not be made at once
and Mr.. Frank decided to turn over his
affairs to trustees, in the interests of
his creditors 1t is expected in this
manner that all accounts will be paid,
though that depends upon the success
attending the sale of the stock and the
price secured for the same. Mr.. Frank
is one of Cantons best known citizens.
He came here from Akron and has been
a leading business man since that time.
He formerly had stores in Akron, Mas
sillon, Wellsville and other cities, but
these were closed out some time ago
by Mr.. Frank. Stark county people
generally will regret the financial diff
culties which have overtaken Mr.
Frank. The store will be closed for a
day or two and when again opened the
goods will be closed out by the trustees
Mr.. Frank his not made an assign
ment nor has he undertaken proceed
ings in bankruptcy. He has simply
turned over his stock for the benefit of
his creditors, believing the interests Of
all parties concerned will best be sub
served in that manner. Attorney A. NJ
McCarty has represented both the cred
itors and Mr. Frank in this transaction,
and it was largely through his efforts
that the amicable plan adopted was
brought about. To a News-Democrat
man this morning Mr.. McCarty said:
THE stock of John d. Frank has been
turned over for the creditors and by
their consent, to F. Herbruck and A. c.
Mcdowell, Of Canton, and Fred E.
Smith, of Akron. The entire stock will
be closed out at once at retail at trus-
tees sale. Mr.. Frank has been in i'll
health for about three years and at
times his condition was such that his
life was despaired Of. At the time he
was taken sick his business affairs were
in good condition, and when he returned
to business, on his partial recovery, he
finds, on a complete inventory of his
stock, that it aggregates little over
$4,000, and that his Indebtedness is sub
stantially equal to the value of all of his
assets"
