Stump, was adopted by the family and
she has been acting as housekeper. A
sister of the deceased resides on Hous-
ton street in New York city and other
relatives reside near this city.
Mr.. Sexauer at an early age opened

years ago. Since that time he has not

About five years afterward he return
ed, without having attained any great
wealth, and since that time he has
continued to reside in this city.

of the city council, severing his con-
nection with that body about six years
ago.

When the meeting was called to order
Friday night, Sexauer was absent and
no one had seen him during the even-
ing. The session proceeded without

sent from the meetings of the board

what delayed him.

CIRCUIT COURT
HAS 27 CASES
The Docket Is Not a Large One
This Term.
COURT MEETS ON OCTOBER
And Week viii Clear Up AIT Business
They Have on Band The List
of Cases Up For
Trial.

Circuit court will convene In Stark
county on Tuesday, october I'd, and
continue it's session one week, this being
the short term. Judges John ]. Adams
8. M. Douglass and r. M. Vorhees will
be on the bench to hear the cases. which
have been taken up on error or appeal
from the common pleas court.
The docket is not a large one as II
contains only 27 cases. This Is due
largely to the fact that the rulings In
the lower courts in this county are US
ually SO clearly correct that the USE
lessness Of appeal is apparent. And
when appeal is taken, the judgment OF
the lower courts Is nearly always sus-
tained.
When the mania for appeal strikes
some cases. they never stop until the
supreme court is reached. That is. of
course, not the fact with the cases that
have been assigned for the coming
term. The following are the cases set
for hearing.

his HOME Is
NOT IN MANSFIELD.
Senator Sherman, Permanently
Changes His Residence.
HE WILL LIVE IN WASHINGTON
The Rest of His Days-Transferes His
Beautiful Washington Mansion
to His Daughter, who
Takes Possession.

Hon. John Sherman, his daughter,
Mrs. j. I. McCallum, her two children
and DR.. w. e. Laughridge, arrived In
Washington Thursday afternoon from
Mansfield. Speaking of Mr.. Sherman's
return, the Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, says: ut is
said that Mr.. Sherman will not again
return to his old home at Mansfield, but
will spend the remainder of his days In
this city Mr.. Sherman stood the Jour-
ney from his Ohio home to Washington
remarkably well, considering that his
health is very poor.
Several friends called today and left
their cards. The former secretary of
state no longer receives visitors. Only
his immediate family ere allowed TO
see him. He is able to sit up and can
walk around the house little, but the
slightest exertion causes exhaustion.
His condition can truthfully be term
ed feeble.
Senator Sherman has transferred his
magnificent home on X street to his
adopted daughter, Mrs. J. I. McCallum.
Two deeds were placed on record in the
district court today, one by John Sher-
man and his wife, Cecilia Sherman,
dated November IA last, and the other to
John Sherman, widower, dated July 26
last. The former conveys lot No.
In square No. 24S, to Mary Sherman Nc
Callum for consideration OF $40, and
the latter, lots NO. l0 and IL, In sanc
square, to the same person, the consid-
Grafton being stated to be 500.
"These Instruments cover the title to
one OF the most valuable residence prop
critics In the city. 1t was Senator sher-
mans penchant that his home should
be essentially Buckeye" structure.
To that end all Of the wood and stone
In the mansion was cut and quarried
In Ohio and transported here"
HIS MANSFIELD HOME.
A Mansfield special SAYS:
"The splendid Sherman property on
Park avenue west. is to be divided into
lots and sold. The old Sherman home
will also pass into the hands of strang-
ers.
Mansfield was long the home Of the
venerable statesman, who, as humble
law student, entered on his political
career In this city.
when Mansfield was yet q village,
Sherman purchased 80 acres Of land on
Its western outskirts for 500 an acre.
Eighteen or 20 years ago, he gave q
number Of acres to the city for park
purposes. The balance of the land,
which is now in the best residence part
of Mansfield, Is occupied by the Sher-
man home. Immense orchards and
groves slope away from the house on
four sides.
Every summer Senator Sherman
and wife returned to their Mans
field home from Washington and spent
the summer among the friends and
familiar scenes of their younger days.
Senator Sherman always spoke Of
Mansfield as his home.
