position of experimenting the general
affairs of the routes. The two great
lines Of stages were the daily route
from Pittsburg, via New Lisbon, Can
ton, Massillon, Wooster, etc, and
the tri-weekly route from Steubenville
via Carrollton and Waynesburg to Can
ton. Both these lines had four-horse
coaches as shown. The late John Peters
was a driver on this line from Canton
to Waynesburg for many years.
George Cribbs was one of the original
proprietors of stage lines. He owned
and lived in the twostory brick on the
northwest corner of Fifth street and
Cleveland avenue, where Dr. Phillips
now resides, but the house has been
greatly changed in its general appear
ance and arrangement. We had num-
erous hack routes to other points in the
county, but those described were the
only four-horse coach routes.
My first trip east to buy goods was in
the spring of 1S45, and on my way back
we reached Pittsburg via the Pennsyl-
vania canal packet. While we travel
ed slowly we enjoyed it. On that occa-
sion we had on board Prof. Mitchell,
the great astronomer of Cincinnati, and
every night he would entertain the pas
sengers by taking them on deck and CIV
ing them a free and instructive lecture
on astronomy. The nights were very
bright and clear.
We landed at Pittsburg on the 10th of
April 1S45, and found the city in flames.
More than half the best portion of the
city, as it had been, being destroyed,
including the st. Charles hotel, Mer-
chants hotel, the Monongahela
house, and the large covered
bridge that spanned the Monongahela
river from that point to South Pitts
burg. 1t was the largest fire up to that
time known to have occurred in the
United States.
The roads for travelling from Pitts
burg west were in bad condition and /:
took us over "a hours to get to Can
ton, and all the way along the route, we
conveyed the news of the great fire in
Pittsburg. We had no teegraphs in the
west at that time, and the stage coach
or messenger on horseback was the
most rapid means of communication.
Just about that time the telegraphs
were first being introduced from Wash
ington to Baltimore, and many people
in those days thought it so unlikely that
messages could be sent by wire, and
therefore often spoke unfavorably to
their ever coming into general use.
With what we now see and know
about telegraphs, the younger people
express astonishment at what has been
accomplished in the last sixty years.

VERDICT A BURLESQUE.
Judge Taylor so Decides In The
Case Against Levi Hart
ranft.

Before going home Friday evening,
Judge Taylor called In the attorneys in
the case OF Philip Arnold against Levi
Hartranft and handed down his decis-
ion on the motion for new trial. This
case was tried several months ago. Ar
mold claimed he had lost about 81 200
in Hartranfts gambling room and he
sued to recover the amount. The jury
brought in a verdict for the plaintiff
for 81 with two cents interest and $50
exemplary damages.
A motion for new trial was argued
and the court has been considering the
matter for some time. Friday after
noon he set aside the verdict and gran
ted new trial. He also took occasion
to roast the jury. He said the verdict
was q burlesque and there was no JUS
tice IN 1t. He could not see how the
jury had figured out that the loss was
just $l.O2. He declared that If the ver-
dict had been for the defendant or had
been for the plaintiff for sum that had
some reason in 1t he would not have in
terfered.
The judge also decided the motion for
a new trial in the case of Hunker VS.
the Kenneberg Roofing Co. In this pro-
ceeding the motion for new trial was
overruled.

The name Of Eagle hotel and Eagle
Block" have been familiar terms to our
citizens for fully the past eighty years.
This all arises from the fact that George
Dewalt, who opened his hotel in the
town when there were but few inhabit-
ants, and built the three story brick
house as shown in our illustration,
which stood on the southwest corner of
Market and Tuscarawas streets, and
called it the Eagle hotel' from the first,
and retained that name through all the
changes of proprietors. The Eagle ho-
tel in Canton was considered one of the
finest houses in northern Ohio at that
time.
Our illustration only shows the main
building and the two-story part facing
on Tuscarawas street, which contained
the dining room and kitchen. West of
this was the wash house and woodhouse,
and beyond those the barn, all built of
brick. The barn stood on the corner OF
Tuscarawas and Court streets, with the
gable facing on Tuscarawas street, with
a large double barn door in the center
arched. This picture as shown is quite
correct and CLEANED from very imper-
feet photographs, but by the assistance
of Mr.. Charles II. Lind, who made the
first pencil sketch, we are enabled TO
produce so good a picture.
George Dewalt was brother of the
late Daniel Dewalt and was also the
grandfather of Mrs. William Mckinley
He kept the hotel referred to about 25
years, and then sold to VIM. Hawk
who came here from Pennsylvania. He
kept it until he died. and his sons Sam
uel, Reuben and William continued for
some time after their fathers death.
After that George Reynolds, brother of
the late John F. Reynolds, kept it for
several years. After Mr.. Reynolds went
into the hotel bushes in Akron, the
Eagle block passed into other hands
and was converted into business rooms.
Mrs. George Reynolds is still living in
Akron, making her home with her son
Thomas.
DIR. Robert II. Mccall had his drug
store in the corner room of the old Eagle
block for some years and until his death
about 80 years ago. The next room
south was occpied by John r. Bucher
and later by Geeting & Bucher as a dry
goods store, and the farthest room south
was occupied by various parties for va
rlous kinds of business.
Since the erection of the present four
story brick, the First National bank
has occupied the corner room. The rest
of the building is for business pur-
poses and offices. No hotel was ever
kept in the present building, but the
name of Eagle Block" has always
clung to It,.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-04-17

At the time George Dewalt retired
from the hotel business, he built the
two-story brick residence at the north
west corner of Ninth and Market streets,
now occupied by M. C. Barber and fam
lily. The house was generally remodeled
and considerably enlarged later by Jas.
A. SaXton, the son-in-law of MIR. De-
walt. John Dewalt, the son of George
Dewalt, is still living in Freeport, Ill.
He formerly was in the dry godds bust
ness in Canton in company with Daniel
Rohrer, whose wife was Henrietta
Bockius, sister of the late i. V. Bockus.
Mrs. George Dewalt was a most excel
lent woman, very active member of
the Presbyterian church until her death.
Her maiden name was Christina Har-
ter. sister of the late Isaac Harter.
The Dewalt family had been engaged
in the hotel business before coming to
Canton. They came here from Aarons-
burg, Center Co., Pa, the same village
that my fathers people came from.
They were related by marriage. A few
years ago l was in Aaronsburg, and was
shown the two-story stone house where
Philip Dewalt kept tavern before he
came to Ohio, and suppose it is yet
standing there. 1t was occupied and
looked very substantial and good enough
to last another century.
Philip Dewalt, the father of George
the proprietor of the Eagle hotel, built
the two-story brick building at the north
east corner of Cleveland avenue and
Tuscarawas street, and kept tavern
there for awhile. That building has
since been known by many as the Whit
ing building, and of late years as the
Brant building. When Mr.. Dewalt first
built that house the columns of the
porch We're round and much larger than
those now standing there, and the porch
from the second story was also up, so
that it was in those days two-story
porch. Since the present columns have
been put up the upper porch has
been omitted.
During the time that George Dewalt
and William Hawk kept the Eagle hotel,
the stage office" was kept there, the
following cut representing the stage
coaches of those days:
