UNIFORM DIVORCE.

The revival OF the subject Of uni.
form marriage and divorce laws in
the several states, which seems TO be
consistent with the opening of the
new century, has much Of Importance
in it. The discussion is covering a
wide range. For instance the Pitts.
burg Post says:
The feeling appears to be growing
that the constitution should be
amended so as to give congress the
power TO deal with divorce and mar
riage Its advocates say it would lead
TO the enactment Of a uniform law Of
marriage and divorces law that
would be the same in every state in
the union, and that would put an end
to the many loose and conflicting state
statutes which have given rise to so
many soandalous abuses and wide
spread complaints. Curiously enough,
while the constitutional convention
dealt with yariousImatters Of less i'm
portance, such as patents, copyrights,
naturalization, counter.
feiting, and so ON, the institution on
which home and society are founded
was left TO the discretion of the sew.

a constitutional amendment in the

CRYSTAL PARK ADDITION
The Booming Place In Canton
Trump Estate Closing Out
the Lots Rapidly.

Squire II. NJ. Hossler, who has the
sale of lots of Crystal Park as admin
istrator of the estate of John ]. Trump,
deceased. reports the sale Of lots as
somewhat phenomenal. 1t will be only
a short time. IL the rush continues,
until all of the lots are sold and the
affairs of the estate closed up.
When the prices were put on these
lots there was no talk of rolling mill
or street car line by the property. Now
that other factories are to locate in that
neighborhood it is certain that prices
of real estate will jump. Squire Hoss
Ter will. however, make no advance in
price. He Is the agent of the court and
is going to sell the land. The specu
lative part is not for the estate. Thus
a rare chance Is offered spectators
which is being taken advantage Of.
A big boom for north east Canton is
coming. Mark the prediction.

Boa riding Of Soldiers
During Akron Riot.
SUM IS $3,|93.62
Agreement Reached by Which
City Of Akron Assumes
5000 Of the Ex-
pense.

Akron Beacon Journal: The bill Of
SO, 1882 for boading the soldiers during
the Akron riot is to be paid. The state
is to pay 81 day for feeding the sol.
diers and the city is to pay the balance
of the bill The state is to pay $2,292.G0
and the city 5000.
Col. G. Il. Adams, assistant adjutant
general, arrived in the city Friday af.
ternoon and he at once had confer
ence with two of the commissioners
At that time he made a proposition Ia
allow 92 cents day per soldier and no
more. Another conference, however,
was held with the entire board Satur-
day morning and Col. Adams raised the
amount to 81 per day. The commits
sioners at. once made an entry in their
journal to the effect that the city is to
assume and agrees to pay 5000 of the
board bill and the balance to be paid
by the state.
Mayor Young was seen during the
forenoon by a Beacon Journal reporter.
He was not aware that another con-
ference had been held during the morn
ing and that the commissioners hal
assumed $900-of the bill.
The mayer then reviewed the history
y
| of the entire matter.
HOW 1T CAME ABOUT.
"On the morning of the riot said
he. Governor Nash telegraphed me
that the Fourth regiment would arrive
| in Akron between & and : O'Clock in
the morning and that should make ar
rangements for the soldiers breakfast.
/ saw Mr.. Wilson, of the Buchtel hotel,
and the only reference made relative
to rates was that the rates would be rea.
sonable. This Mr. Wilson told me would
be the case. The soldiers arrived and
the arrangements continued until Fri
! day without any reference to rates.
| On Friday Colonel Adams said that the
board being received by the soldier3
was beyond the ordinary. He also said
that the state only allowed 40 cents
a day for feeding the soldiers. He
further mentioned that there was ar
emergency fund and that the emergen-
cy board often looked after claims not
allowed by the state. | told him that
il there should be any question as to
excess that the city would probably bear
its portion of the bin
SENT COLORED COOKS BACK.
Mayor Young said that the regiments
cooks were not brought to Akron, be
cause they We're colored men. He said
that Colonel Potter told him that he
had the cooks sent back 10 Colurl-
bus from Mt. Vernon, as il was feared
that their presence in Akron might
cause more trouble.
The bill allowed by the state and city
is at the rate of $1.3S per day.

Alliance, April 15.-The funeral Of
Bascom Taylor was conducted to-day at

EMPEROR
MUST REPLY
Another Demand Of Japs.
On Ching.
KWANG SU'S RETURN
Recently Pointed Out to the
Chinese Prince the Neces-
sity Of the Emperor
Coming Back.

pekin, April 15.--Komours Yutaro.
theJapanese minister, accompanied by
General Yamaguchi, the Japanese
commandey recently called upon
Prince Ching and notified him that
the return Of Emperor Kwang Su to
Pekin was urgently desired. Prince
Ching was informed that the emper.
or's wishes would be respected by
the foreign troops and that every
courtesy would be shown him.
IL was pointed out to the Chinese
plenipotentiary that the cmperor's re-
turn was OF the highest possible i'm
portance as affecting the maintenance
Of the integrity Of the Chinese en-.
pire, and that he should come accom-.
panied by every available soldier, by
at least 10000 men II possible These
troops, 1t was further contended by
the Japanese minister, must be sent
into Manchuria, as the Russians re-.
ported great disturbances there, and
1t was not right that the task of
quelling the trouble should be thrown
upon the shoulders Of one nation.
Finally Prince Ching was assured
that, IL the 10000 Chinese troops
could not suppress the disorders In
Manchuria. other powers would send
an international force to cooperate
with China, which all the powers re.
garded as friendly power.
No reply having been received to
this communication, Ii Hung Ching
was notified to the same effect, and
told that Emperor Kwang Su must
give an immediate answer.
The conduct of the ministers of the
powers over the negotiations with
the Chinese plenipotentiaries causes
much averse comment among the
military authorities. Their dilatory
tactics have prevented what might
have been accomplished about two
months ago. Even now the meet.
ings Of the ministers are postponed
for the most t1ivial causes. For in.
stance, the desire Of one minister to
go on picnic to the Tombs of the
Ming Dynasty prevented the holding
Of meeting for a number of days.
Then M. De Giers and other minis.
ters insisted upon celebrating Easter
and thus a week was consumed, In a
third case an unnecessary visit by
one minister to Tiep Tsin held up the
negotiations for four days. These
are fair illustrations Of what has
been almost continuous from the be
ginning.

SET PROGRAM
To be Carried Out When the
sRepublican Convention
Meets

Columbus, April 15.-The ticket and
platform prepared for the Republicans
of Ohio by General Dick, Governor
Nash and Secretary of State Laylin
at their conference here will be placed
before the Republican state convention
for ratification when it meets in this
city late in June.
TIE conference was productive of but
one change, and that was made at the
earnest solicitation OF General Dick.
Major A. b.. Critchheld, of Shrever
Wayne county, will be placed on the
ticket for clerk of the supreme court
in the place Of Lawson, Emerson, OF
Belmont county.
Mr.. Critchfeld is a major in the
Eighth Ohio, the regiment over which
Dick had command in the Spanish war
and which obtained the title OF the
Presidents own" Mr.. Critchfield
was a captain under Mr.. Dick. In fact,
it has been charged that Critchfield
was the military brains OF the COM
mand.
Be all this as it may, it now devel'
ops that Dick is to reward Critchfield
for his past services, even il he does
come from a strong Democratic county.
The other candidates can take their
portion out in kicking.
Another important matter that was
decided was that the Washington pro-
gram should be carried out to the let
ter and the Republican state conven
ton will be pulled off in June. 1t was
also decided that John r. Malloy should
be secretary of the Republican state
executive committee.

THE SPIRIT0F SAICOT
And Its Frequent Appcaran nee

City Of Mas

Massillon, April 15.-The Coshinski
family and boarders moved Saturday
from 572 North Mill street which has
been the home of the family for many
years and which represents the life
savings Of William Coshinski, a quarry
laborer.
Coshinski declares that ever since
the death of Michael Saigot, who met
death accidentally at the hands of his
brother, John, the spirit of the departed
returns both day and night. The mem
bers of the household have been unable
to sleep, owing to the visitations, and
they are therefore unfit for work.
The ghost. so Coshinski declares
has the form of Michael Saigot as he
was last seen, wearing a complete suit
of overalls and with gaping wound in
his head from which blood issues. 1t
appears several times nightly, between
$3.50 and IL o'clock, and invariably at
noon each day.

Of the form the boarder shouted, and
at the same time shout was heard
| from every room in the house. On Fri
day Mrs. Coshinski heard the door open
in the room in which Saigot was killed
When she attempted to close it she saw
the PROSTATE form of Saigot lying in
the room, which seemed to rise slowly
and as she attempted to close the door
| 1t was snatched from her hand and
slammed shut and quickly opened
again. Friday evening the children
were nearly frightened to death by q
ghost of the goblin kind, a most fright
full looking object with great horns
long arms and twitching fingers. While
the Goshinskis are inclined to believe
anything in the line of ghost stories
they discredit the goblin story of the
children.
Mrs. Coshinski claims that at
o'clock on the Monday morning pre-
yious to the killing of Saigot she saw
the half of mans face appearing
above the coal house. Shortly aftel
the whole face was shown and ther
the head was turned and showed {
