As the old bridge over the river has
been torn away and a new stone bridge
is being constructed,it has been very in
convenient for persons coming from the
depot and those living on that side OF
town. A temporary foot bridge was
built over the river last Thursday
which does away with all the incon-
venience Of walking to the lower bridge
and crossing the river at that point.

LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.
Will Not Be Given Out Till
the President Reaches
Washington.

The weather was such Sunday that
President Mckinley could enjoy some
comfort and he did not go to church,
but took a long drive with Mrs. Nc
Kinley and Colonel and Mrs. Herrick,
Of Cleveland. The secretaries also took
a rest from the duties that during the
week. called for additional help to be
sent on from Washington. Nothing Of
a very important nature came from
China and the situation there was
practically unchanged, 30 far as the
president had been advised. Some
messages came. but were not given
out. The letter Of acceptanes-h -hasshot
been completed but 1t Is said that It
will be given out at Washington and
that it viii be timed to have its weight
on the elections In Maine and Vermont.

". & L. E. ENGINEER KILLED.

Massillon, Aug. 13.-The derailment of
engine 1879 three miles north Of Terminal
Junction, on the Wheeling & Lake Erie
railroad, at $3.50 last night, resulted in
the death Of the engineman, Michael
McGreevy, and the injury Of the fire.
man, Guy Turner, and of the head
brakeman, e. H. Wulff. U
Engine 1879 was pulling a train of
empty gondolas east and when within
three miles Of Terminal Junction, left
the track. Six cars, all empties, fob
lowed the engine. The engine tipped
over and the three men in the cab were
caught under the debris. Michael Me-
Greevy, the engineman, was badly
crushed and died few moments after
being taken out. The fireman and the
brakeman were more fortunate, and
although painfully hurt it is not
thought that their injuries are serious.
The body of the dead engineer was TAX
en- to his home in Norwalk this morn
ing. The injured men were taken at
once to Wheeling where they received
the necessary attention. Guy Turner,
the injured fireman, is son Of d. II.
Turner, who until short time ago was
resident Of Park street in this city.
He now resides in Steubenville. He Is
unmarried. e. H. Wulff, the brake
man, is also unmarried, and makes his
headquarters in this city. He boards
at Mrs. Kohps boarding house, corner
Of Erie and Charles streets. Michael
McGreevy leaves a wife to mourn his
death. The remains will be inferred in
Norwalk cemetery.
1t is impossible to state the cause of
the wreck. There are o number of con-
ditions that might cause an accident Of
this kind. The officials of the company
cannot say why the engine left the
track. 1t might have been a defect OF
the engine or 1t might have been the
condition OF the track. Whatever II
was 1t was unavoidable. There had been
q train over the track a short time be-
fore and every thing was alright. II
was simply an accident Of kind that
will happen SO long as there are rail-
roads and such an one that cannot bt
foreseen or avoided. There was little
delay in traffic. The passenger trains
last night were transferred. The track
this morning was cleared sufficiently
to allow the passage Of trains.

The Massillon Independent hastens
to inform the News-Democrat as to the
identity of one John NJ. Palmer, who
has lately written an interview with
himself, in which he declares that he
intends to vote for Mckinley. The In
dependent says that Palmer has been a
Democrat and Republican, was moth
ing in 1896 and is for Mckinley this
year. The contortions incident to fol-
lowing the career of Palmer are en-
tirely too much for the hot weather
period and the Independent seems TO
have exhausted itself with the effort.
So far as we can discern. from the
Independents explanation, the fellow
Palmer is too wabbly citizen to land
anywhere else than in the camp Of the
hot -or-cold blowing administration.

CHINESE MAY MAKE A COUP.

The Chinese government is beginning
to wish 1t had sent the ministers out
Of Peking long ago. Safe escort to Tien
Tsin would have been the solution from
the first but 1t is not too late for the
willy Chinese to play the game yet.
Suppose, while the army Of the allies
is marching to Peking the ministers
should suddenly turn UP at Tien Tsin,
or somewhere else that Is safe refuge.
What phase would that put on the
situation? What could the allied powers
do? What excuse would there be for
the army Of relief? And suppose the
allies should not learn Of the safety Of
the ministers till another battle has
been fought. Could the Chinese not
have good claim for indemnity? II
they should prove the ministers are
safe and have not been harmed, what
excuse would the powers have for be-
ing there at all. The Chinese govern
ment could make the claim that the
various countries interested had been
informed that the ministers were
safe but that they would not believe
1t and ought now to take the conse-
quences. 1t would be a peculiar con-
dition IL the ministers should suddenly
be found in safe port. The Chinese
would have much the better Of sub
sequent negotiations.

WHAT IMPERIALISM COSTS.

A Washington special to the New
York World says that during the first
nine days Of August the war depart
ment has expended $5,415,0OO. The gov
ernment's fiscal year begins July 1. The
total war department expenditures
since the beginning Of the fiscal year
have been $24,260, ,124.47. This is an av-
erage expenditure for each day the de-
partment has been opened since July
Of $713,527.19. The August expenditures
by days have been as follows: August
/, $500, 900; 2, s6OO, 1000; 3. 1870 OOO 4, $685.
900; 6, $65O,OOO; 7, $685., 900; s, $3.50, 900;
., s4S5,OOO.
The total war department expense Is
much greater than the expense of any
other branch of the government, even
pensions or the tremendously big "civil
and miscellaneous" item. The cost Of
the war department has been more than
the one-third Of the entire expenditures
of the government this fiscal year. The
total appropriation made for the war
department at the first session Of the
Fifty-sixth congress, which adjourned
June T. last, was $114.22O, ,O95.55. The
campaign in China was not dreamed Of
when these appropriations were made.
There will be an enormous army def
cheney bill at the next session Of con-
gress.

The suggestion that bath house and
a swimming hole be provided for Mimi
silla park is one that is worthy Of at
tention. The people Of the east end Of
the city seem favorable to the plan and
many parks are thus equipped. East
end people have been talking about the
matter for some time and 1t is probable
that arrangements will be made to
carry out their wishes and add to the
attractions at the park.

Dozens of thinking men in Canton,
lifelong Republicans, are going to vote
for Mr.. Bryan this fall. They have
seen enough of Imperialism to decide
that they can better spare Mr. Mckinley
from public life than permit the policy
he has permitted his managers to pur-
sue to go unrebuked. After all, they
figure, Mckinley is only one man.
while millions would be disastrously
affected If his policy is allowed to stand.
They see the blighting influence Of the
trusts and are going to give the ad-
ministration to understand that they
resent it's tendency to benefit the few
at the expense Of the many.
