show that considerable damage was done
to tobacco in the west part of the town.
Fred Harding had three acres entirely
ruined by the hailstones, causing loss of
800 or more. What makes the loss spec

was ripe for harvesting. Mr.. Harding had
Just harvested one acre. Mrs. Oliver
Wood lost two acres, and on the Washburn

Tuesday was an ideal day for town meet
ing aud the voters were out in large and
unusual number. We are of the opinion
that so large vote has not been cast for
at least 25 years. The state vote stood $50
Republican and 81 Democrat The chief
interest, however, centred upon the cleo
tion of town representative Upon the
first ballot 81 votes were cast requiring
154 for a choice. Edward Titus had %,
j. II. Kidder 127 and E. H. Porter 1874, or
two less than the required number for a
choice. The second ballot showed total
of 274; necessary for a choice 1873
Edward Titus had six, j. II. Kidder 40
and f. H. Porter, Democrat 1856, and he
was declared elected. Mr.. Porter was a

TERRIBLE CALAMITY
Overtakes a Family, the Mem.
bership Of Which Is Great
Iy Reduced.

Port Clinton, o., Oct. ga quadruple
drowning occurred near Plasterbed, on
Sandusky bay, eight miles east of here,
at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The
drowned are: Douglass Stark, aged
three years; George Stark, aged five
years; Alfred Stark, aged eight; Henry
Stark, aged 13.
The rescued are: William Stark, the
father, and William and John Stark.
Mr.. Stark rented a boat early in the
afternoon and took his family for ride
on the bay. On their returning to
shore the boat became fouled in a fish
pound net. The children became fright
ened and the small craft capsized, re-
sulting in the four deaths by drowning.
The eldest of the four drowned and the
youngest clung to the boat, but 1t
was q round bottom affair, and kept
constantly turning over and over, and
they lost their hold and sank into the
depths.
John clung to his fathers coat and
was picked up by a rescuing party. The
accident occurred but ten rods from
shore, but in very deep water.
Mr.. Stark came here from Toledo three
weeks ago. He then had family of q
wife and ten children. Last week
Harvey. aged four, was buried, and the
previous week Samuel, aged three
months, was stricken with fever and
died. The father, mother, the two boys
and little daughter now alone survive.
Mrs. Stark is Frustrated over the terri
BILE disaster.

of his congregation that he might say
that which was on the side Of right. No
allusion TO the presence of Mr.. Bryan
was made. Gossipers are divided on
DR.. Parkhurst's probable course, many
believing that he will publicly declare
for Mr.. Bryan and others that after
working UP the plblic interest he will
come out fat-footed for Mckinley.
Mr.. Bryan left this city last night at

two days of work in this state.

COUNTY CLAIMED
BY BOTH PARTIES
Estimates Given the News
Democrat at Noon Saturday
BY THE TWO COMMITTEES.
Republicans Claim Plurality of LOO In
City and CouIty, and the Demo.
Gratis Claim About the Same
Figures For Bryan.

With their polls OF city and county
complete, and a good idea of the regis
tration in Canton by the reports that
came in up until noon, both the Demo-
cratic and Republican county commit
tees gave the News Democrat state
ments, Saturday, of what they expected
| to do at the coming election.
Secretary NJ. j. Braucher, of the
Democratic county committee, spoke for
Chairman Manly. He said: "Our esti-
mate is based on our poll of the county,
but in addition we have taken in con-
sideraton the average rates of the
| changes reported from Bryan to Nc
Kinley and from Mckinley to Bryan, in
| the various precincts. We find the
margin all on our side in the changes
| from one party to the other. The num-
Der of voters who cast their ballots for
| Mckinley in 90. but who will vote for
Bryan this year, we find to run from
| two to twenty, to the precinct. Only an
occasional voter is found the other way.
so much for Republicans who come
| over to Bryan. The Palmer vote of '96.
| and the old line Democrats who secret
| ly knitted Bryan four years ago, but who
are with us this year. will do the rest.
| In 1896, Canton city gave Mckinley 672
plurality, and the county, outside OF
Canton, was carried for the Republican
| ticket by only 17S-making a total of $50
plurality for McKinley-in city and
| township.
1--WE estimate on getting an even one
half of new voters-though more than
half the young men are with us on the
trust question. These are our figures:
Bryan will carry Canton city by 500. He
will carry the balance of the county by
| 200, giving us LOO plurality in city and
county"
Chairman u. S. Johnston, of the Re-
publican county committee, was asked
| for an estimate based on the Republican
| poll, together with the probable regis
| tration as shown today. He said:
"McKinley's plurality will exceed 900
in Canton city. In the city and county
Mckinley will receive a better plurality
! than Nash received in 80 when Stark
county complete gave him 1852 to the
good"
In other words, Mr. Johnson expects
the city and the county outside of Can
| ton to give about an equal plurality.
This would be about double the plurality
| Mckinley received in the county COM
plete, four years ago.

SETTLEMENT IN MINING STRIKE
MIR. Bryan Gives Out Statement on the
Result--same Results Could Have

Arbitration.

News Democrat Leased Wire Service. ]
New York, Oct. 27.-Mr. Bryan finish
ed his tour of New Jersey last night, and
came here from Newark.
Mr.. Bryan expressed qualification over
the New Jersey meeting saying it far
surpassed all expectations in numbers
and enthusiasm.
New Jersey Democratic leaders have
confidence in Bryan's success.
Mr.. Bryan today gave out a state
ment concerning the settlement of the
coal strike in Pennsylvania. He said
he was glad the miners had won. but
that just system of arbitration would
have secured all the advantages they
have gained, and probably still greater
advantage, without the loss they have
suffered, and would have saved the
public its loss.

MORE TALK OF
AN AIR LINE.
This Time 1t Is to Extend South
to Canal Dover.
TO AVOID THE MASSILLON HILL
On the Ft. Wayne MassiIlon Paper Has a
Straight Tip About What the
Pennsylvania Is About
to Do.

The Massillon Independent has dis
covered that the Pennsylvania is ut
present preparing TO resurrect the old
project for low grade route from Canal
Dover north, cutting the Fort Wayne
road some distance west of Wooster,
and thereby avoiding the grades at
Buck hill and on west Of Massillon.
The story has been sprung on the pub
lie at various times in the past four
years. At the time the Cleveland, Ter
minal and Valley was extended south
from Canton, there was considerable
talk in local railroad circles about the
fact that the Valley would cross a Penn
sylvania survey some distance south Of
the city. This is the story the Indepen-
dent tells, Saturday:
1.-The talk in local railroad circles at
present is about the recent purchase of
the Camp railway by the Pennsylvania
company. The impression prevails that
1t is the intention of the company to ex-
tend the line, which has been completed
from Applecreek to West Lebanon, on
to Canal Dover there connecting with
the New Philadelphia branch of the
Cleveland & Pittsburg railway, which
is one of the Pennsylvania family. By
so doing the Massillon and Wooster
grades, which are the bane of all the
employees of this division and which
generally retard the progress of traius,
will be cut out entirely, and the route
will be shortened by several miles. The
line will doubtless be built through the
Killbuck bottom and the Tuscarawas
valley, where little grading will be nee
essary. The Camp road will be connect
ed with the Pittsburg, FIT. Wayne &
Chicago line at Millbrook, near Woos-
ter, 1t is thought The piece of track
between Canton and Millbrook Is reput-
ed to be the worst on the p, F. w. & c.,
the grade being rise of about So feet TO
the mile.
1T is known that the engineering
corps of the Pennsylvania company has
gone over the route above suggested
and that stakes have been placed. II
Is believed that If this line is construct
ed the road now passing through Mas
sillon will be used for passenger traffic
exclusively. The freight service will have
the exclusive use of the new line. OF
course all shipping of freight into Mas
sillon can be done with the same facility
as now, but the traffic of the line pass
ing through the city will amount to
little outside of the passenger trains.
Probably the only freight on this road
Will be the regular local to carry freight
to and from the towns which, like Mas
sillon, will no longer be on the main
freight line"

LOCAL ITALIANS
ARE WRATHY.
Insult Offered by Senator PETER
Stirs Them Up.
TORE M'KINLEY'S PICTURE.
Ashland italian, who Has Relatives In
Canton, Will Have Nothing Further
to DO with the
rarty.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, Friday, had
q special from Ashland Ohio, which
read as follows:
At meeting here, addressed by Sena-
tor PETER Thursday. the Italians of
Ashland were enraged at a statement
made that all of the Italians in the
country ought to be hanged. Steve
Marsino, leading candy dealer. pulled
down his Mckinley lithograph and
burned It.
The special was shown to members
of the firm of Marsino Bros, well
known Canton merchants, who stated
that 1t was their brother who was re-
ferred to, but they declared that he was
such a hot Republican that they did
rot believe that he had torn down Nc
Kinley's picture.
1t was arranged that they aihould tel
ephone over to Ashland to find out. 1t
was a warm response that one of the
brothers got when he reached his
brother at Ashland. The brother eX-
planned that Senator PETER had made
speech there in which he had said
that every Italian who came to this
country ought to be hanged. He said
that the statement was made without
qualification at a Mckinley meeting.
The Italian was so mad that he at once
tore McKinley's picture down and will
not have anything further to do with
Republican politicians.
1t was this same PETER that the Re
publican clubs of Canton, headed by a
band, went to Massillon Friday night
10 honor, and to whose sentiments they
show by their actions that they sab
scribe.
When they marched down past the
Marsino establishments they did not get
much applause. a member of the firm
said that if that was the way the wind
blowed it was time the Italian voters of
the country knew about it and acted
accordingly.
There was much Indignation among
local Italians because of the incident
and further because local people took
the pains to hire a band and go over
to Massiilon to do homage to the same
fellow who had so grossly insulted the
Italians in Ashland.

Charges of COwardice.

Washington, Oct 29.-Minister Conger
has preferred charges of cowardice
against Captain Newt It. Hall, u. S. NJ,
second in command of the maril force
at Peking during the siege. The de-
tails are closely guarded, the regua-
tions of the war and navy department
strictly forbidding publicity at this
stage, 1t is gathered, however, that
Mr.. Conger questioned Captain Halls
courage. because of the latters decli-
nation to carry out certain military
operations suggested by the minister.
The charges of the ordinary course
passed into the hands Of General Chat
fee, the commander-in-chie of the
forces in China, who examined them,
made an inquiry on his own account
and then concluded that the whole mat
ter rested on the difference of judgment
between the minister and the captain
and sent the papers to Washington,
with recommendation that no ftirther
proceedings be had, q finding vihdicat-
ing the captain.
