MAKES ANOTHER RECORD.
Ocean Liner That Carried Can
tOnians Abroad Is a
Hummer.

The Hamburg American line steamer
"Deutschlan," which has carried
several Cantonians across the pond this
summer, among them William Volk-
mann and son, has made another
record. The Chicago Times-Herald
says:
The big new steamship Deutschland,
Hamburg American line, received today
swiftest ocean greyhound plying the
Atlantic today. The ship holds the
records, both going and coming across
the big pond.
Emil Boas, American agent of the
American line, received today
a cablegram from Captain Alberts, in
command of the Deutschland, announc-
ing her arrival at Plymouth at 7:40
o'clock Thursday morning. The
steamer cleared Sandy Hook lightship
at 11:S4 a. m. July IS, making the time
of the passage from here to Plymouth
five days, fifteen hours and six minutes.
The Deutschland developed $3.50
horse power, made an average speed of
22.S5 and covered a distance of 3,0S5
knots. The steamers daily runs were
536, 5S4, 515, $50, 535 and 435 knots Her
biggest days run was made on July IS,
her second day out, when 536 miles were
logged.
Prior to the Deutschland's achieve
ment on her maiden eastward run the
Plymouth record that way had been
held by the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
made by the latter on her first trip in
October, 1897. The passage time was
five days, fifteen hours and ten min
utes. The distance was 1852 knots, at
an average speed Of 21.91, and the best
days run was 519 knots. While on her
present trip eastward the Deutschland
beat the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse by
only four minutes, she covered a dis
tance of 123 knots more.
On her maiden trip westward to this
port recently the Deutschland broke the
best previous records.
Naturally the Hamburg-Americar
line officials in Germany and here are
highly elated over the magnificent per.
formance of the latest addition to theil
big fleet of steamers, noted for reduc.
ing time and distance between the
principal ports Of Europe and New
York.

RETURNING TO The FAITH.
(Pittsburg Post.)

1t is not surprising that the Demo-
Gratis who wandered off to strange gods
in 1896, after four years experience Of
McKinleyism in home and foreign
affairs, should return to the true faith,
whether in acceptance of it in it's en-
tirety or as "a choice of evils" matters
not. One thing seems to be certain, as
we read the reports from all parts Of
the country, precious few of the gold
Democrats now prefer Mckinley to
Bryan. The National committee Of the
gold standard Democracy, that met in
indianapolis on Wednesday, emphasiz-
ed this fact by refusing to sanction the
nomination of third ticket. They pre-
fer that their compatriots shall vote,
without independent nominations on
the silver issue of four years ago, on
what they now consider the paramount
questions to be determined in Novem-
ber by the American people. On one
side will be Imperialism, based on
monarchial notions, and on the other
side anti-imperialism, based on the
Declaration Of Independence and the
constitution of the United States.

DOOR WAS LOCKED.

When workingmen in the employ of
the water works superintendent arrived
at the stone house at Meyers lake, FRI
day morning, to begin work, they dis
coverd that the lock which they had
placed on the door. the night before had
been removed, and q new one put in
place. Naturally the men were unable to
obtain admittance for the purpose Of
securin gtheir tools. They telephoned
to the water works office and were in
structed to break open the lock, If nee
essary, to open the door. The work.
ingmn did not venture to do this, and
finally Ray Piero, in the employ Of the
department went to the lake and he
secured a hammer and the lock was
broken open. The stone house Is owned
by the water works department and the
Superintendent states that no outside
parties had any right to interfere with
the lock on the door.

REPLEvINED TWO HORSES.
He Had Secured Them by Paying an
Old Bill For His Son.
MISSING FROM THE FIELD.
Father Says the Son Came to the Farm
and Took Team Away and Then
Met Those who went After
Them with Re-
vOlver.

There is trouble in the house of
Carnes. John Carnes, the wealthy far
mer on the North Industry road, pro-
prietor Of the Gold Medal farm, and
Upton M. Carnes, NJ. D., fancier Of high
stepping horses, journalist in horse lit
erature, amateur actor and now far
mer living near Reedurban, are at outs
and there Is ruction between father 4
and son.
Some time ago mild hammered young
man named Joseph Connor came into
Justice Bowmans office and sued DIR. U.
M. Carnes for about $50 which he claim
ed due him for services rendered to the
latter. One Of Carnes' beautiful bow
necked equines was attached and
brought to a Canton livery stable dur
ing the tendency of the suit. The horse
began to eat up a good bill Of hay and
oats and still Carnes did not pay the
bill. In this situation, John Carnes,
father of the DOCTOR came to the res
cue and an agreement was entered into
by which he was to pay the Connor bill,
the livery bill and the court costs and
was to get the horse for his compensa-
tion.
| 1t cost him over 500 to settle up but
he got the horse and took it to his Gold
Medal farm. That was the end Of the
first chapter in the family drama.
The second chapter was opened up
this week. Thursday John Carnes came
into Justice Bowman's office and de-
clared that he could stand 1t no longer.
He said he had helped ''Uppy" time and
again but that now he was through
and that he was going to have justice.
He said that the horse which he got in
the former transaction had been peace
fully staying at his place ever since
but that few months ago while they
were all away, without giving any notice
to anyone, "Uppy" had gone down and
taken this animal and another and
taken them to his farm near Reedur-
ban. Thursday morning when it was
found what had become of the horses
John Carnes sent his other son, Junius.
and the hired man over to the Doctors
to get the horses. The father declared
to the justice that the boys met with
a hot reception. He said Doc met them
, at the gate with a revolver in his hand
and told them to keep out and said they
could not get the horses. This was too
much for the old gentleman and he de-
clared he wanted justice now.
Accordingly he swore out a writ of
; replevin for the horses and Friday
morning Constable Woolf and Constable
Henry took the papers and started for
la
3 the Gold Medal farm first and were to
get carriage there and go to the doc
tors place and get the animals.
. The father says that he Is through
helping his son now and that this last
act is the one that has broken the back
Of his patience.

THE PRESIDENTIAL MARGIN.
(Chicago Chronicle.)


Every Democrat who voted for Bryan
four years ago will vote for him this
year.
Thousands Of Democrats who did
not vote or who did not vote for Bryan
four years ago will vote for him this
year.
The money question on which they
failed to vote for Bryan four years ago
is a dead issue this year.
Thousands Of Republicans who voted
for Mckinley four years ago will vote
for Bryan this year.
They know that Mckinley wanted the
Philadelphia convention to vote for free
coinage of silver "by international
agreement" so that Mckinley and Bry-
an differ only In detail about the coin
age of silver.
They know that Mckinley wants COL
onies and subject class to despoil un-
der our free flag.
They know that Bryan wants to ex-
pand American trade In harmony with
the constitution Of the United States
and that we will get all the possible
commercial benefits of expansion under
| Bryan without the danger and infamy
of Imperialism under Mckinley.
Election statistics Of four years age
show that It required only different
distribution of the votes cast for Bryar
to elect him.
| The increased vote cast for him thil
year will be along the lines Of favorable
redistribution.
The presidential margin this year Il
therefore closer than four years ago.
Democracy united and alert. de
voted to living issues exclusively. cal
elect the president this year.

dinary occupation and use of such

said line 611S.44 from the initial point,

Under these rights the city operated
for some years until the water in the
lake at one time got very low and then
Joseph Meyer, who at that time owned
the lake brought injunction proceed
ings against the city to stop 1t from
drawing water from the lake below the
low water line. This was brought be-
fore Judge Myer in common pleas court
and he granted temporary injunction
and then afterward made it perpetual.
The city took the case to circuit court
and that court reversed the common
pleas court, abolished the injunction
and decreed that the city had absolute
right to draw all the water 1t wanted
| from the lake.

MOLINEUX'S WRITING.
More Experts Testify Against The
Prisoner.

New York, January s.-There was bu .
little weiehty testimony produced In to-
days prooesdings IN the trial Of Rol.nd
b. Aolineux for the murder Of Mrs.
Katherine j. Adams and the develop
msnts brought the hope thas the proseou-
tion would get through with lie case by
the end Of the present week. The most
important Witnesses today were Morris
Herman, . member Of the firm In
Newark for which Molineux was superin-
tsndent and Edwin B. Hay OF Washing
ton. ID. O.. who gave testimony as .
handwriting expert.
Mr. Herman said that the firm Of
Morris Herrms g. Co. went into the
dry colsr business In 1896 with Mclineux
as superintendent and IL was upon the
latter's knowledge OF dry oolors and
chemical receipts that the firm started
the work. Moiineux was not the only one

Of ohsmistry, bRt Mr.. Hermann said
that neither be himself nor any other
member Of the firm knew anything Of
chemistry. He said that Molineux had
apartments at the factory for long time
and made experiments In them. Mr.. Hay
was called to the stand ard almost the
entire time which remained was "a ken
up BY his sxsminstion. He gave II as his
opinion that the letters signed "Barnet"
and "Cornish" and the admitted hand
writings were written BY the same per-
son. Alfred h. Graham paying teller of
the bank Of North Amerloa said there
was absolutely no doubt In his mind that
