or jump into the lake and take chances
Of being able to swim five miles to
shore. Some of the foreigners en-
ployed in the tunnel cannot swim, SO
they would be practically at the mercy
of whatever element they chose to
accept as a means of death.
Not boat had been provided for
the workmen at crib No. 8. and no
other lfe-saving apparatus except
life-preservers, which many OF the men
would not know how to use in case
OF accident.
AS an indication of the isolation Of
tie crib and the fact that there Is
no means of gaining the shore, is the
fact that, though the accident occur
red at 5 o'clock last night, no word
come to the city till passing tug
was signaled this morning. and it
went to the crib and took of the
bodies.
Mayor Johnson lays the blame for
the condition Of affairs OH Director

full of water and repairs will be long
and difficult to make.

A ROMANCE.
II Surrounds the Marriage Of .
Young Lady Who Once
Lived In Canton.

A pretty romance surrounds the mar
riage of former Canton girl. The
following story is printed in the Cleve-
land Press:
When Frank G.. Vetter, postal
clerk, was taken to st. Johns hos
pital. year and half ago, he was
heart whole. When he became con-
valescent, he wandered out into the
hall, one day, and--lost his heart.
Carefully wrapped up in a great in
valid's chair was mere slip of a
girl, and Vetter thought she had the
sweetest face he ever saw. He did
some trifiing thing for her comfort,
and got bright smile in return.
Then. he wished he was the nurse or
the doctor so that he might wait on
her all the time. He managed pretty
well as it was, and his charming fellow
patient was soon his promised bride.
Miss Theresa A. Burwell was the
pretty girls name. She lived at 319
Prospect street. but came from Canton.
They decided to get married, finally,
but 1t was to be a secret So, on
May 20, Rev. Father O'Reilly at St.
Johns parish house. made Miss Bur-
well Mrs. Vetter. They returned to
their respective homes and smiled at
the way they were fooling their friends.

!. Cleveland, Aug. 21.-Despite the
fact that dozen or moro lives have
been lost recently in the waterworks
tunnel and cribs here. and that Off
cial Investigations have been going on,
with view to fixing the blame and
avoiding recurrence, another hor,
ror occurred during Tuesday night.
The latest horror is at crib No. 8,
of the new tunnel, which leads five
miles out into the lake from a point
near Wilson avenue.
The negligence of the authorities
and the contractors has maze the in
habtants very angry, and whei, the
report was given out Wednesday morn
ing that five more men had lost their
lives. there were deep mutterings.
The accident that caused the deaths
occurred about 8 o'clock Tuesday
night, but because of the fact that
there was no way to get away from tho
crib to the shore, it was not known in
the city till this morning.
Thirty men were engaged in the
tunnel, having gone to work to iur-
ther its construction toward the shore.
At about s o'clock an explosion of gas
occurred. The steel shaft that was
used to keep the water out, burst by
the force Of the explosion and let the
water in. or the thirty men at work
twenty-five got out safely, but fivc 9th.
ers, who were farther in. were drowned
like rats.
Had the explosion set fire to tho
crib, as in the case a few days since
when several men lost their lives, and
William Curry and Victor Kaufman
had such narrow escapes, there would
have been a repetition of that condi-
tion, for little or nothing has becn
done to give the workmen opportunity
to escape in case of fire. They must
either-remain and burn with the crib

Stark county fair comes on apace.
1t Is less than two weeks until opening
day. Farmers who have worked tho
summer through without rest or recre-
alton, are looking forward to several
days Of pleasure with friends and rel
atives at the fair. Families that are
separated by distance are looking for
ward to reunions when all get together
at this exhibition. Old nelghbors and
friends will meet for the first time for
year. perh.ps. In addition to all
these anticipated pleasures, there are
the special attractions that are sure
to please everyone, old ane young.
The pross cannot praise Slayton's
Tennesseeans too highly. This troupe
of colored singers will be one of the
finest
SPECIAL FEATURES
ever secured for the fair. The New
North, published at Rhlnelander, Wis,
says OF them,
~ "A highly enjoyable entertainment

tons Tennessee. ans. This company 10

TRAINED ANIMALS.
Dubec's trained animals. which will
give exhibitions daily and nightly in
front Of the grandstand, are another
attraction that has been secured for
the entertainment Of patrons of the
fair. No society in Ohio Is making a
creator effort to please the public.
Dubec's animals are nicely trained and
perform tricks that are marvellous.
They show almost human intelligence
and excite wonderment from all who
see them. That they arc first class is
shown by the engagements that they
are filling, being at the most fashion
able watering places during the sum-
NOR. 1t was fortunate that tho fair
management secured them. as their
timo is generally fully taken up with
engagements.
The reduction of the grandstand
charges from 25 to Is cents will prove
a popular move with the public. This
will enable all to get into the grand
stand without so large an outlay ,f
money. From that point all tho special
features can be seen to advantage.
Everyone should arrange to attend
the fair The races will be fast and
hotly contested, 1t is expected. Every
exhibit will be largo and attractive
witch the possible exception of horti-
culture. Other displays will more than
counterbalance any falling off in this
department. Don't>f fail to attend the
fair. Not ono day only, but every day.

THE PEOPLES RIGHTS.

To the Editor of the Register
Some facts which would seem to
appeal to common sense and reason,
as to the grant to private corpora
tons of right to invade the field of
public utilities: The City of Wheel
ing is the people. The people elect TO
Council men to represent their inter
ests. The interests of the people are
in the direction of good government,
fairly, and imparttaliy administered.
Fair and impartial government means
honest and square legislation, with a
view always to better the condition OF
the municipal family and not to foster
and perDetrate the interests of few
people. People who apply to munich
pal bodies for grants to use the pro-
perty Of the people have in view the
requirement of valuable concessions,
without cost, but which are readily cap
italized for vast sums which go into
the pockets of the promoters. The val
ue of grants for the use of the people 8
property should be- and is by right
vested in the people themselves. A
corporation could not through its board
of directors sell or give away the pro-
perty OF the corporation without the
consent of it's stockholders. Why, then
can municipality. through its board
(the CounciD grant special privileges
without the consent of its stockholders
(the people,. If the City of Wheeling
had no facilities in the field of street
car conveniences, she might pay bon
us to secure it, provide she should not
only exact her just return from propos-
81 new lines, but as well look at the
future requirement of existing lines,

pired. Additional grants now would

citizens by removing for further term
