THE DEATH OF HUNTINGTON.

The death Of Coils p. Huntington re-
moves from the busy scenes OF the active
life OF America one OF the most remark
able products OF our peculiar social and
Political conditions and, indeed, one Of
the most remarkable men OF the day.
We are quick TO accord genius and
greatness to a man who has won dis
tinction in war or in affairs o; state, or
tu the fields OF literature and science,
But are not the elements Of character
and the force Of intellect that achieve
the great successes in the business world.
though different In kind, as worthy Of adj
mlration aud enduring fame as the quail
ties that the world is oftener In the habit
Of assoclating with the idea OF great
ness?
Huntington was one OF the most prom
nent factors in the material development
OF the Great West. He VAS one OF the
most active and efficient agents in unfold
ing the iucalcnlable wealth, the varied
and llmiHess resources, and In shaping
the industrial and commercial future Of
that great region OF this country which
lies between the Mississippi aud Pacific.
He was one OF the little band Of far
seeing men whose enterprise added prec-
tically new continent to the Union, and
blazed tine pathway for development. for
great business activities, for political
progress and National power through
wastes and solitudes that are now in the
full bloom Of civilization.

TAKEN WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Had Been Successful at Games In Court
Street, Then Slept.
TENDERLOIN WAS VISITED
story Related to the Police by william,
steese, . Lisbon Man Unable to
Provide Omcers with
Clew to the "t
THAT.

William Steese, a hotel keeper re-
siding at Lisbon, called at the police
station Saturday morning and reported
to the police that he had been relieved
of over 500 in cash and some valuable
papers. He could not furnish the Of
fcers with description of any person
. whom he believed guilty of going
ythrough his pockets, for he alleges that
he was unaware that the money was
gone until he wanted to make some
expenditure and reached into his
pocket for his pocketbook.
Steese came to this city Wednesday,
presumably to attend the races. He
visited place in Court street, where
he says he played some game in which
he was successful in winning a large
sum of money. After cashing his
checks he stepped out Of the place and
visited some places in the tenderloin
district, and then returned to Court
street to play some more. He thought
he had the money in his pocket, but
upon searching for 1t, he was unable
to find 1t, and then he first knew that
1t was missing. He did not desire to
report the incident to the police, believ-
Ing that 1t was lost, but he is now
certain that 1t was removed from his
pockets by some stealthy thief.
Buck" LOTUS, of Alliance, was with
Steese, and he alleges he saw Steese
sleeping upon a. stairway in a Court
street building, during the night. It
is therefore possible that the money
was taken at that time by unknown
persons. Mr.. Steese stated to the
mayor that he was more desirous OF
securing a return of the papers which
were taken, than to have the money re-
turned. The sergeant Of police and Of
Acers were given the details Of the story
by Steese and they will make a
thorough investigation.
Steese left for his home in Lisbon
this afternoon at 1:35 over the Fort
gVayne and up to the time he left had
not recovered his hundred.

PENNSYLVANIA BRANCHES
Had a Smashup and Trains Were
Delayed For Several
Hours.

A wholesale smashup occurred Sat-
urday near the big ravine at Bedford
on the Cleveland & Pittsburg railroad.
Between Hudson and Cleveland the
same track is used by trains on both the
G. & p. and the Cleveland, Akron &
Columbus branch, both operated by the
Pennsylvania company. The first fea-
ture of the accident was a rear end
collision of two c. A. &c G. freights.
This threw a number of cars off the
track.
In a few minutes the c. A. G. c. pas
senger train came along and struck the
cars already piled up. The passenger
had reduced its speed so that the mo-
mentum was not great, but 1t derailed
several more cars. About this time the
c. C p. freight crashed iAto the heap
and gave finishing touch to the acci-
dent. Cars were demolished and con-
tents strewn in all directions. The
track was badly damaged. The Cleve-
land wreck train was called.
Had this smashup taken place upon
the bridge across the ravine terrible
catastrophe could hardly have beea
averted. Fortunately no one was killed
or even seriously injured in this triple
collision. All the south bound c. & P.
trains were from an hour to two or
more hours late on account of the
wreck.

The manufacturing establishments

Business houses on Mahoning street

last afternoon mail from the west.
During the recent visit of Postmaster
General Smith to the Canton postoffice
he expressed himself as much pleased
with the success Of the institution OF
free rural delivery. These carriers,
beginning with the present month, re-
ceive $500 instead of $4O0 per year. The
Canton office was among the first to
establish rural free delivery routes.
Adam N. Ulnan, who has served for
the past year as rural free delivery car
rier, has been reinstated by the post
office department as senior substitute
city carrier.
The postmaster has nominated War
rem N. Lutz for appointment as rural
FIRE delivery carrier.
