UNIONTOWN Is
MAKING PROTEST.
The People Want That Electric
Line to Go Through.
HAVE BEEN BANKING ON 1T.
All Their Energies Bave Been Put Forth
TO Get Into Closer Communication
with Csnton-whst
They Say.

Lake, o., Nov. II, 1900.
To the Honorable Board fStark County
Commissioners, Canton, Ohio.
Gentlemen: BY way of voicing the
sentiment of the citizens of Union
town and vicinity, regarding action OF
your board in so summarily turning
down the application of Mr. L. l..
Childs, for franchise for an electric
road between Canton and Akron, via
Uniontown, as well as for your own
benefit, | desire to say to you, that,
since your attitude in the matter has
become known here, 1t has been the
subject of general and serious COM
ment and discussion both by the own
ers of property fronting on the line of
the proposed route and other freehold
ers, and voters, who feel the urgent
necessity of such line being built.
If your ears haven't experienced
burning sensation since Tuesday last
then there is no virtue in the old le.
gend, for the county commissioners
have been and are still being roundly
scored for this action in refusing to
grant the franchise for this long felt
and much sought for convenience.
1t has even been openly charged and
so generally and universally asks for
and insists upon a public convenience
and utility OF this character the
county commissioners have neither
moral nor legal right to impede it's pro-
gress or prevent its early consumma-
ton
The citizens of Uniontown to a man,
and even the women, have been bend
| ing every energy, sparing no time, effort
or expense (and the same thing is true
| of citizens generally along the pro-
posed route) in aiding this project and
bringing 1t UP to point where 1t Is
possible for the commissioners to CO.
| operate with theIt, and they feel that
| their wishes and efforts are deserving
of more favorable confederation at the
| hands of your body than your action Of
last Tuesday indicates.
| Petitions have been prepared and are
being signed by scores urging the board
OF commissioners to reconsider their ac-
ton in this matter and allow this pro-
Ject to be carried out at as early a date
az is consistent with well advised plans
for the public convenience and safety.
| Trusting that these petitions may be
| received and considered by your body
with due regard for the interests of the
names do not appear on the list for
want of time to present the petitions to
| them, l beg to be
| Yours for progress and public im-
provements, j. w. RICHARDS.

date. relatives or friends could minis

DID THEY ELOpE?
Question Raised Probably Be-
cause the Pair Were Mar
ried In Kentucky.

A telegram came to Canton, Wednes-
day night, making inquiry as 10
whether Miss Nellie Smick, of Canton,
had eloped to marry a man named Me-
Bride. of Toledo. Inquiry here failed
to elicit any information concerning
the young lady. Her name is not in
the directory and 1t is evident from
other sources that there was not an
elopement, or If there were, the fact
has escaped the vigilance of Cincinnati
reporters. The Enquirer contains
simply this brief announcement:
Thomas II. Mcbride, q, of Toledo,
Ohio, and Nellie Smick, 26 of Canton,
Ohio, were married in Covington yester-
day by Judge w. II. Il. Wheeler.
