SOME SORE SPOTS.
MahOning County Republicans
Bury the Hatchet But May
Resurrect 1t.

Youngstown Vindicator: Last Satur-
day, the contention in the ranks of the
local Republican party, promised to end
in contesting delegations, and two sets
of delegates, and even two conventions
and two tickets. But all that has been
averted, the five candidates getting to-
gether and patching up their differ
ences, which are said to have arisen on
account of faction headed by James
Thomas and d. F. Anderson.
The candidates met on Sunday in the
law office of Messrs. McVey, Arrel and
Robinson and each making some con-
cessions, an amicable conclusion, so far
as the delegates are concerned, was ar
rived at.
The row and its settlement We're of
little import aside from the fact that
they furnished proof that the Republi-
can leaders, who, when there is threat
or danger of disruption, take firm hold
and whip the warriors and recalcitrants
into line.
In this conflict, however, the settle
ment Is more apparent than real. The
sores that have been inflicted, cannot
healed in a day in even the best ap-
pointed of Republican hospitals. There
is no medicine that can cure certain
chronic political distempers.

BUXER INSURANCE
HAS BEEN LOST.
Supreme Court Decides That
Lower Court Was Wrong.
NOT A UNANIMOUS DECISION.
Two Of the Judges Thought the Lower
Court and Circuit Court Were
Right In Their
Holdings.

An important case from Stark county
was decided by the supreme court at
Columbus Tuesday. The suit was star
ted in common pleas court here by Anna
Buxer against the Union Central Life
Insurance company for the collection of
a policy of $1,000 which had been held
by her husband, b. +. Buxer, on his life.
Some of the payments of the premiums
on the policy had been made by giving
notes and the notes contained forfeit
ure clause. The common pleas court
here held that the insurance company
could not get out Of payment on account
of the notes and the circuit court up
held the common pleas. The case was
tried to Judge Taylor below. Thayer,
Webber & Turner and McCaughey rep
resented the plaintiff and Lynch & Day
and Mr.. Ramsey Of Cincinnati the de-
fense. The defense took the case to the
supreme court and that body on Tues
day handed down a decision reversing
the common pleas and circuit courts and
deciding in favor of the insurance COM
pany. Mrs. Buxer will therefore not get
the insurance on her husbands life.
The decision of the supreme court was
divided. Two of the judges stood with
the lower courts, but three stood for re-
versing the other decisions. The case Is
one of importance in its legal bearings
and it will be reported.

CANTON V0RKHOUSE
The Terror OF Tramps on The
Pennsylvania Railroad.
Gen. Man. Loree Explains How the Canton
And Cleveland warehouses Are Dread.
ed and How They Have Aided In
Freeing the Railroad From
The "Tourists."
New York Journal.)

tNeW 1OrK j OurnaI.D
The blind baggage" route to the west
over the Pennsylvania lines Is no lon
ger open. Free transportation to the
circus by the fast freight Is likewise
closed on the great Keystone system,
and tramps and thieves who make their
homes on the rail have been compelled
to travel on other lines or to change
their mode of living. The efficiency of
the railroad police force maintained by
the Pennsylvania company is RESPONSE
BILE for the encouraging condition Of
affairs on its road.
A railroad policeman's beat generally
is irregular. His post includes the
freight yards and station of an i'm
portant terminal or a large town, and
he performs the double duty of keeping
the trains clear of persons who steal
rides on the freight and baggage cars
and of preventing thieves from robbing
the stations and cars that may be idle
on siding. Arrests are promptly made
and evil-doers soon learned to dread L.
F. Loree's officers. Tramps took other
routes, and pedestrians who used the
railroad tracks for a public highway re-
turned to their place. From its inception
Mr.. Loree's plan was success. In q
paper read before a meeting of the asso-
citation of Railway Claim agents, Mr..
Loree made an exposition of the ethics
of railroad trespassers that has been
| widely quoted. He says:
There are four classes of people who
steal rides on freight trains. First, there
is the man who has ample means to
pay, but who wants to spend his money
in a way he can see a greater return
| for; so we told the police to always get
the man with the watch chain think
ing that If we could make it unfashion-
able for the well-to-do citizen to steal
rides we might work our way down
to the tramps. The second class are
| the boys who have girls in the next
town, and the young fellows who want
| to go OF the circus in the country town,
and neighborhood people on errands of
all sorts; they ride back and forth night
and day. The third class are what the
| trap calls gray cats and the brake
| man calls stake men, the fellow whose
| habits are such that when necessity
drives him to work stays at work only
| long enough to get money to supply
himself with drink and tobacco. There
are about $4,000 Of these constantly on
| the move. and they are without the
| respect even Of the tramp. The genuine
hobo the fourth member. is an adept
| as trespasser. He rides on the brake
| rods and on the trucks of the passenger
| and freight cars, or beats the blind bag
| gage, or rides in the cattle car. and
generally he never walks when there is
freight train to be had. The average
Jail has no terrors for him, 1t is simply
a dry and quiet place where he can
put in two or three days of idleness and
rest up. Some of the warehouses; are,
however, held in terror. Any tramp will
go south of the Ohio river to escape
being sent to those in Canton or Cleve-
land"

Somerdale, o., April II.
Our schools closed very successful
term last night with an entertainment
and lecture by Attorney John W. Burris
of Canton, Ohio. His lecture was
heartily received by the large audience
which crowded the hall to overfiowing
and continuously cheered his frequent
sallies Of exquisite wit and humor. The
lecture was elevating and instructive
as well as entertaining, and all who
heard 1t went away filled with encour-
agefent to fight lifes stern battles with
renewed vigor. So interested and en-
thusiastic had the people become that
they reluctantly left the hall after con-
graduating the speaker for his efforts
and giving him O pressing invitation
to return ut some future date.

RECEIVER NAMED.
Wife Recently Got a Divorce
And Now Wants the Ali
mOny to be Paid.

Attorney Sterling came before Judge
McCarty Wednesday morning asking
for the appointment of receiver for
Samuel Oyster of Alliance. In the
petition which makes Winfield Pickens
a party defendant, the plaintiff, Alice
Oyster, who recently got divorce from
Samuel, ,recites that she also got a judg-
ment for $500 alimony. This judgment
has not been paid and there is no
personal property to get at to get salts
faction. Oyster, however has some
lots in Alliance and one dwelling house.
Pickens claims to have a mortgage on
the property and the court was asked to
compel him to set up his claim. The
court was also asked to appoint a re-
ceiver to take the property, collect the
rents and apply it on the liquidation of
debts. Enos II. Brosius was appointed
receiver by the Judge.
PROBATE COURT CASE.
Probate Judge Aungst was busy all
forenoon hearing the case of George w.
Miller, as administrator of Rachel Mil
Ter, of Alliance, against Edward and
Clara Schultz. George w. Miller Is the
widower of Rachel Miller and the de-
PENDANTS are his daughters and son-in-
law. When his wife died she left some
personal property in the shape of house,
hold goods in the possession of the de-
PENDANTS. They were occupying house
belonging tothe deceased. Now they re-
fuse to give up the goods to the admins
traitor and even refuse to let him come
into the house. They claim that the
deceased gave them the property before

not so. Attorney Roach represents the
plaintiff and Mr.. Rogers the defense.
The case was adjourned till Saturday to
allow the lawyers to submit briefs.
DIVORCE WANTED.
Attorney J. A. Rice Wednesday filed q
petition on behalf of William Calling
against his wife, Mary r. Calling, in
which he asks for a divorce. The hus-
band sets up the claim that the wife
has abandoned him and therefore he
feels that he is entitled to be rid Of her
altogether.
WANTS THE MONEY.
Charles c. Upham has filed a petition
on his own behalf against H. L. SPELL
man to collect$167.S3. He recites that
some two or three years ago William F.
Cook obtained a judgment against
Adolph Becker in justice court for $13S.
The case was appealed to common pleas
and Spellman went on Becker's bond.
Later Judgment was rendered in COM
mon pleas caurt for s142.96 in favor of
the plaintiff. Now 1t has grown by the
interest to $167.S3. The plaintiff Cook
has transferred the account to Upham
and he seeks to hold Spellman as bonds
man and compel him to pay the amount.
This is the same claim that Spellman
last week filed motion in court to have
the judgment vacated on the ground
that 1t was obtained without due notice
and after settlement Of the issues had
been made out of caurt.

Owing to the scarcity of stock
the furnace was forced to ''bank'

ore can be secured from the lake
region. Last evening Supt. A.
Brady, who is in Philadelphia,
