BITTER FBUD
AT MALVERN.
Cause Of the Trouble Pays a
Visit to Canton.
ELECTION OF SUPERINTENDENT
For the Public Schools Is the Bone of Con-
tention and Neighbors and
Former Friends Are
0usrreling.

Prof. c. H. Carlisle, Of Malvern, was
in Canton Wednesday on business.
The professor is the bone Of contention
in one Of the bitterest school fights
ever known in this section. The fight
commenced early in the spring and en-
tered into the nominations and election
Of the members Of the school board
and at the close Of the school year when
an attempt was made to re-elect Mr..
Carlisle, 1t was found that there We're
three for and three against him. The
opposition has been voting for any one
rather than Mr.. Carlisle and the fight
has become SO bitter that 1t has become
a town feud. Neighbor has been turn
ed against enighbor, friend against
friend, 1t has permeated the churches,
and even created dissensions in fam
lilies. The time for the opening Of the
schools is near at hand and the county
commissioners Of Carroll county will
be called upon to settle the dispute
and elect some one to superintend the
schools. Mr.. Carlisle being Demo-
crat he says that politics has entered
into the fight and might influence the
commissioners, who are Republicans.

Chagrin Falls, o., Aug. 22.-Car No.
20, on the Chagrin Falls railroad, was
wrecked at Maple and Solon streets,
about one mile from the square at S:35
this morning. There were about q
dozen people on the car and all were
mere or less hurt, several seriously.
The injured are: Mrs. George Rath-
burn, Mrs. Lee Robbins, John Young,
conductor; Mrs. w. H. Barris, Mrs.

and DR.. II. c. Coffin, Of Cleveland, knee
injured. Miss Letha Short, head and
shoulders badly cut and bruised Mrs.
NJ. G. Meice, side and shoulders
bruised and cut.
1t is said the accident was caused
by the brake rod Of the car breaking.
The car left the track, ran along on the
ground about ten feet and then turned
completely over, stopping at the edge
Of a ten-foot embankment. The pas
sengers on the car were hurled in all
directions and cut by flying glass. The
motorman, A. A. Carlton, stuck to his
post and made desperate efforts to
stop the car when it left the track.
1t was probably due to him that the
car did not go over the embankment
Carlton was uninjured.

Yet This COlOred Child Speaks

William Bender, colorcd man well

tumbledown shanty on Seventh avenue

Minneapolis Journal. Bender's travel

her that there was nothing at all the

THE CANTON ROLLING MILL
Said to Be Ready to Open When the
Wage Scale Is Adjusted.
WERE PAID NO MONEY BONUS.
What the Company Got From th~City Was
q Site Something with Reference to
the Trust and the Closing
of the Local
Concern.

A News-Democrat representative
called on President Charles r. Miller,
of the Canton board Of trade, at his Of
fee in the Central Savings bank build
ing Wednesday morning, and calling
his attention to the action Of the CO.
shocton board Of trade with reference
to the closing of the sheet steel mill
in that city, as detailed elsewhere in
this issue, interrogated him as to the
situation with reference to the Canton
rolling mill, which has been idle for
some time.
Mr.. Miller said: "The Coshocton
contract was a peculiar one. / was
familiar with its conditions at the time
1t was made. The town gave bonus
of 100000 conditionally that the COM
pany receiving it should not sell out
| without refunding the amount Of the
bonus. The American Sheet Steel
company, when it purchased the plant
from the local company of that city,
held back $4,000 of the purchase price
to protect itself in the settlement with
the city.
| mo such contract was made by
| Canton. No money bonus, and nothing
beyond a site was given by Canton,
but loan was made to the rolling
mill company, all Of which, however,
has been repaid"
what we especially wish to know"
said the reporter. "is whether you have
any information, as to when the Can
ton plant will be put in operation, if at
all?"
Yes; I have assurances that 1t will
not only be operated, but enlarged. The
fact is not generally known to our
people, yet 1t is true that Canton's
manufactures alone consume more
sheet steel than this mill can produce.
Our annual consumption Of black sheet
metal is over 5000 tons, to say nothing
of galvanized metal and other pro-
ducts.
"The mill has heretofore employed
about one hundred hands, and the
contemplated enlargement Of the plant
will add two more rolls, and the num-
ber of employees will be increased to
one hundred and fifty.
"The present shutdown is the peri
odical closing due to the adjustment
of the question of the wage scale be-
tween the employers and the Anal
gamated association, which Is the or
ganization among the millworkers. As
soon as this IL settled. am assured
that our mill will be started up.
WORKING ON STREETS.
The late employees Of the rolling
mill. many of them, have been in sore
straits since the closing down of the
mill, and men who had been making
from SO to IS a day have been com.
PEELED to seek work at anything thai
offered. Many of them are at presen,
working on the widening Of the Ma.
varre street railway line for $1.50 @
day, or such matter, while others have
not been able to secure employment
anywhere.
The idleness of this large body ol
men who had been earning goot
wages was not only hardship to then
and their families, but was felt by the
merchants and in all lines of trade.

CHINESE ACTIVE.
London, Aug. 22.-News of more fight
ing along the recent line of march of
the allies is expected at any time. The
reinforcements which left Tien Tsin a
few days ago for Peking are likely to
meet with some resistance at Peit-
sang and other points Of vantage from
which the first column of the allies dis
lodged the Chinese two weeks ago.
According to reports, forces Of Chinese
several thousand strong are active
along the railroad between Tien Tsin
and Peking, and the break in the wire
is certainly due to them. No fear Is
expressed here that the temperance
