news came that instead of driving back
the elders would come by train. The
police and county officials made no ef-
fort to keep the Information secret.
1t, therefore, spread like wildfire, and
at o'clock, standing under a broiling
sun, there were 1000 or 5000 people at
the Erie depot. Just before the train
arrived, Mr.. Seward made the mob a
speech. He spoke lightly at first, and
finding the crowd in a mood to listen,
he then urged them to stand back off
the platform.
was cleared as the train hove in sight.
Again there was a rush but the police
seemed better organized, and for the
most part the crowd was kept back.
Again Mr.. Seward entered the car and
urged the elders to go on to Chicago.
Reluctantly they agreed to do so, but
they would not promise not to return
next Sunday.
"The Lord has ordered us to Mans
field" said Elder Piper, "and we must
do his bidding"
"well, the Lord isn't here today" an
swered Mr.. Seward, grimly, as he again
glanced out of the car window sugges-
lively.
The town Is quiet tonight. Tomorrow
morning the special grand jury Will be
gin its work. Mr.. Seward has been APP
pointed special, counsel for the city to
assist in the prosecution Of the instigat-
ors Of the riots" He declares he Will
spare no one.
1t is more than likely the grand jury
will also bring in an indictment against

Steel Co., notified all the 300 employees
of the mill Saturday that after that time
their services would not be required.
They were advised to secure Other po-

The wholesale dismissal is attributa-

failure of the company to arrive at a
satisfactory arrangement with tue

to the officials, Is liable to continue in

prevailing uncertainty, to seek employ.

PROMINENT SPEAKERS.
They Will Be Numerous In the
Democratic Campaign
In Ohio.

Columbus, Aug. 6.-Vice Chairman
Cromley, Of the Democratic state COM
mittee, in company with Treasurer w.
H. williams, spent some time looking
for suitable quarters for the committee
last week but nothing will be decided
upon until after 1t is known whether
a branch Of the national headquarters
will be established in Columbus.
Representative w. c. Gear, Of Wyan-
dot county, who will be in charge of the
speakers bureau, has already sent out
letters to the following Democrats Of
national prominence, asking them to
take part in the Ohio campaign:
Bryan and Stevenson, the candidates
for president and vice president; ex-
Governor Atgeld, Of Illinois; Mayor
Carter Harrison, Of Chicago; ex-Gov-
ernor Stone and Webster p. Davis, Of
Missouri: ex-senator Blackburn and
Governor Beckham. of Kentucky; Con-
gressnan Joe Bailey and Ex-Governor
Hogg, of Texas; George Fred Williams,
Of Massachusetts,; ex-senator Hill,
Carl Shurz and congressman Sulzer
and Cummings, Of New York.
Among the Ohioans who will be ex-
pected to take a prominent part on the
stump are Col. James Kilbourne, John
C. Welty, w. s. Thomas, Gen. I. r..
Sherwood, Hon. James A. Rice, Hon.
Horce L. Chapman, Congressman
Lentz and Norton, and others Of equal
prominence.
1t Is expected now that Vice Chair
man Cromley will call a meeting of the
state committee, to be held in this city
on Thursday, when headquarters will
be secured, and the other preliminaries
for the campaign arranged. All efforts
to communicate with Senator Long.
who was chosen as chairman Of the
state committee, and who is now tour
ing European countries, have proved
futile. His present whereabouts Is un-
known, and the cable which was sent
to him at Paris, informing him Of his
selection as chairman, failed to reach
him. IT was not Senator Longs inten-
ton to return before the latter part Of
September. and the campaign will have
so far progressed then that 1t Is alto
gether probable that Vice Chairman
Cromley, under the circumstances, will
conduct the campaign to the close.
The candidates on the ticket would
in all probability complain about the
swapping Of horses in the midst of the
campaign, and for that reason 1t is now
believed that Vice Chairman Crmoley
will continue in the saddle until the
close Of the polls, even though Senator
Long should return as early as Septem-
Der 20, the date on which his law part
ner announces that he is expected to
reach his home. Mr.. Cromley, how
ever, Is a man Of wide experience in
Ohio political affairs, so that with the
party practically united on the issues
Of the campaign, he can appeal to all
elements to give the ticket hearty sup
port, without giving offense to anyone

Making New Schedule.

Superintendent VanDusen is hard at
work on the new schedule for the Cleve-
land division of the Wheeling & Lake
Erie. The date for it's going into effect
has not yet been determined, but
probably not for several weeks. Mr..
VanDusen and several clerks will have
it completed by Tuesday and it will be
sent to the general manager, at Cleve-
land for inspection. 1t is understood
the changes will not be much at vari-
ance with the present one, but will
lengthen the time of the through trains
between Cleveland and Wheeling and
will change time of other trains a few
minutes in order to make better con-
nection at junction points.

MORE TROUSERS TAKEN.
PantalOOns PurlOined at the
End of a Pole and
Money Secured.

The pantaloon purloiners who took
trousers from Beloit citizens some
nights ago, have left their footprints In
North Benton. When Mr.. and Mrs.
John Graber of that place awoke from
their peaceful slumbers Friday morning
they found that an unwelcome visit
or had called during the night Mr..
Graber's trousers had been removed
and along with them went IS in cash.
The thieves had evidently reached
through the open window with a long
pole and picked up the pantaloons. A
vest containing a gold watch was just
out of their reach.

Alliance Review: George Heitsman,
the well known Alliance horseman,
dropped some money on the Warren ra-
ces Friday, but he did not lose it on a
bet. Mr.. Heitsman was down In front
of the grandstand gazing at the finish
Of the 2:15 pace, which was very excit-
ing. The crowd about him was so
thick he could hardly breathe. Sudden
ly he felt peculiar sensation In the
vicinity of his hip pocket. He at once
realized that his purse had stuck to
some pickpocket's fingers. Before Mr..
Heitsman could seize the guilty party
he got away. So did $15 which had
been neatly folded inside the receptacle.

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.
Miss Mabel Mckinley and DR..
Hermanus Baer to Wed at
Somerset, Pa.

The engagement of Miss Mabel Nc
Kinley and DR.. Hermanus Baer has
been formally announced at Somerset,
Pa, the summer home of Abner Nc
Kinley. The wedding will take place
early in September and will occur at
Somerset. At first 1t was announced
that the wedding would take place at
the white house, but these plans have
been abandoned. Miss Mckinley Is
very well known in Canton where she
has visited many times. She has a
finely cultivated soprano voice which
has frequently been heard In the
churches Of this city and also at nu-
merous musicals that have been given
in her honor. President and Mrs. Nc
Kinley will go to Somerset to attend
the wedding.
For many years, Somerset, little
town in the Allegheny mountains, has
been the summer home of the McKin-
leys. The president also spends a week
or. two there every year. 1t was at
Somerset that Miss Mckinley met DIR.
Baer, who was born and has spent the
greater part of his life there. He re-
Gently graduated from the Philadel-
phia Medical college and has decided
to begin the practice Of medicine at
Somerset.

new LEAGUE
May be Formed of Ohio and
Pennsylvania Cities With
Canton In 1t.

Talk has been going on in Youngs-
town of the formation of a new league
composed of Youngstown, Akron, New
Castle, Sharon, Greenville, Erie Canton
and Painesville. A league composed Of
these towns, it is believed, would be
more than self-sustaining. An attempt
was made this afternoon to see Man
ager Drumm, of the Canton base all
club, but he had gone to Massillon.
A reporter saw prominent base
ball fan who said that several Canton
parties wished Jimmie Cooper, of the
local team, to represent Canton in a
meeting to be held in Youngstown
shortly. Mr.. Cooper could not be seen
as he also was in Massillon.

MIDNIGHT BLAZE
Threatened a Millinery Store
1t Was Quickly
Subdued.

Massillon, Aug. 6.-Saturday night,
at 11:40 o'clock, Martin Schulz, clerk
In Humbergers store came out Of the
north door Of the store on his way
home and noticed smoke issuing from
the Bast millinery store next door. He
reported the matter to w. B. Humberg-
er and the latter telephoned the CEN
trail engine house. The firemen re-
sponded quickly and found the build
ing filled with smoke. The front door
of the millinery store was forced but it
was found that the fire was in the base :.
ment. This was entered from the rear,
and after some trouble the fire was
located. A pile Of rubbish and pieces Of
boards in corner of small room used
as store room had caught fire in some
way. This was soon extinguished.
The fire was opportunely discovered,
as the floor beams under the first floor
were already charred and would soon
have ignited. The smoke penetrated 10
the roof Of the building and had gotten
through the walls into the Humberger
store, damaging the stock there. The
millinery stock was badly damaged by
smoke.
The damage from fire, however, was
very slight. The loss from smoke and
water Is fully covered by insurance.
CYCLERS HEARD FROM.
Messrs Tomlinson and Hunt, the BIZ
cycle tourists, have arrived at Needles,
California, and from their letter to a
friend in this city one would infer that
the boys are pretty full Of needles. They
say that the thermometer registers 113
degrees in the shade and tell a few of
their troubles, as follows:
"A bicyclist in these diggin's must be
able to stand 1876 degrees in the sun
and then adapt himself to other dis
tressing conditions. First, it is hard
work pumping a machine. Then one
must mingle with the Indians and jolly
fat squaws and female Mexican greas-
ers for handouts. Water Is scarce,
warm and full of alkall. Tourists must
expect t6 freeze on the mountains and
burn up in the valleys; must get sc-
customed to from three to five changes
of weather In one day, varying in de-
grees from 40 to 140; must not mind Il
binding sand storm in the morning
with a rain or hail storm in the even
Ing; must pay little attention to mil
lions of insects, but a whole lot of at
tention TO thousands Of snakes, and
must not be afraid to sleep out In the
woods 40 miles from a habitation."
These are just a few Of the annoy
ances besetting the plucky riders who
left Massillon on their bikes last May.

therefrom gold material valued at
about $50. It is the belief of DR.. March
that the party had key to the room,
as no evidence Is visible Of the door

good shape. Complaints have also
been received from other dentists
whose places have been recently visited
and gold carried away. The police are

MAJORITY WANTS
SAME PASTOR.
Vote Taken By Louisville
Church Sunday Morning.
NOT A HEAVY MAJORITY
And some Doubt Is Expressed II the Pas
tor Will Accept the Election--Cause
by Division of the
Congregation.

Special to News-Democrat
Louisville, o., Aug. 6.-The Reformed
church people in Louisville and Osna-
burg have divided and formed two sep
arate congregations. The church had
a large membership which necessitared
this action. Rev. DR.. J. J. Leberman
has been the pastor but the division
of the congregation makes 1t imper-
ative that there be two pastors. On
Sunday, the Reformed church at Lou
isville held an election as to whether
1t was desirable to keep Rev. Leberman
there. innlalAl
There were 239 votes cast of which
Rev. Leberman received 1876 as against
103 who desired a change in pastorate.
Rev. Leberman has been with the con-
gregation for 27 years and is one of
the best known ministers In the county.
Whether he will accept his election of
Sunday, considering that 1t was by a
majority of only SO votes, is considered
by some of the members of the congre-
cation to be quite doubtful, and it may
be that he will be called to Osnaburg
instead. There is no i'll feeling in the
church and both congregations are ex-
pected to get along very successfully.
