Barberton Oct. 29.--The grand Re-
publican rally is over and Barberton
has settled down with a huge sigh
of relief and resumed her usual voca-
tions. Like many other gatherings
I of like nature this meeting aroused
many excitable politicians to n state
of open warfare. Several fights were
reported Saturday night, but with one
or two exceptions, they were affairs
of minor importance, and the number
of wounded small.
Fred Croft, who was fred with POI
litical fervor at ten cents per libation
stated his political convictions in no
uncertain manner to any one who
cared to hear. He was elected from
saloons and mixed up in several fights,
so that when the Marshal finally cap,
tured him he was in sadly battered
condition. This morning, before May,
or Mcnamara, Croft was fined s. ana
costs. A man named s. Reinhart, while
engaged In n heated debate regarding
burning political issues, had an ear
chcwed partly Off AS yet no arrests
have been made in this case.
The engine of the Carrnra Paint
company was broken Saturday, neces,
stating the closing of the factory un.
til the damage is repaired. The In,
Jury was done to the steam chest of
the engine and will be all repaired
and in running order by tomorrow
morning.
Mrs. $, Evey, of New Portage, fell
and broke one of the bones of her
ankle Friday night. The injury was

of Low Nigh, no wunder arrest on a
charge of being one of the ring leaders
in the riots of Wednesday, Aug. %.
He has an invalid wife living on
Water st. When it is said that she is
living the whole story is not told. Tho
unfortunate woman Is lowering be-
tween life and death. She Is vic
tim of consumption and her death is
expected at any time.
Saturday evening Mrs. Nigh ex.
pressed the hope that she would be
allowed to see her husband once more
before she passed away. A relative
went to the County Jail and informed
the officials just how matters stood.
The Sheriff was unable to reach either
Prosecutor Wanamaker or Judge Koh-
Ter. After hearing the story he de-
cided to take the law into his own
hands. In company with the Sheriff
and a deputy, Nigh was taken to the
bed side of his dying wife where he
was permitted to spend an hour. The
scene was an affecting one. The prls,
oner evidenced deep affection for his
wife, The invalid seemed to be bene-
fitted by the visit of her husband.

nonpnrs AND KITCHENER.
A Rcnrrnpgcmcnt OF Commanders
IL Expected.

Is Expected.
London. January fl--Even the announce
ment OF the arrival OF Lord Roberts and
Kitchener at Capetown failed to stem the
growing impaticnce OF the country at the
prolonged inactivity in tho main British
camps and tho entire absence of news
giving an adequate insight to the local sit
uation. The public and press being unable
10 form any just judgment of the actual
position Of affairs, stories are rife that in
action is forced on Butler owing to ex-
haustion of reserve ammunition, and even
wild rumors are afoat OF a shell famine at
home But not much Importance need be
attached to these rumors. II Is almost
universally assumed that with the landing
OF Generals Roberts and Kitchener
prompt return will he made to the original
plan OF campaign, namely, great central
advance on Bloemfontein. But the most
impatient enthusiasts admit that Roberts
may be unable to move before the end OF
the month.
The first task Of Lords Roberts and
Kitchener must be, the war critics urge,
TO rearranse the generals Ia charge of the
various British forces so that all may be
brought up 70 an effective fgnting point.
General Hector Mcdonald and General
Tucker arc now on their way from India
TO South Africa The war experts insist
privately, that neither Roberts nor Lord
Kitchener Will take on the failures OF Lord
Methuen or Sir Redvers Butler, but It is
suggested that the two generals from India
will be sent to supersede or aid Methuen
and Butler. while the new commanders
now at Capetown Will make an effort TO
throw all the reinforcements toward Coles
burg or Sterkstroom, and, then reverting
10 the original plan OF campaign, one or
the other OF them will attempt to unite
