years ago. Her husband, Peter Shor5,
was cooper by trade. and one of Can

When John Clark gave up the hotel

lived there until his death many years

for the accommodation of horses
brought in by guests of the Union ho-
tel. This barn, together with much Of
its contents, was destroyed by fire,
among which were several valuable
horses. The barn was never rebuilt
and mostly small one-story wooden
buildings have occupied that part Of
the lot, until quite recently they were
removed to make room for the fine
three story brick building which is to
be erected. This new building Will
cover the whole lot.
In the early days Of Canton, and
while the old annual mastering of
troops took place, this old hotel was
one of the principal centers for them
to get together from all parts of the
county. / think at that time, next to
the Dewalt tavern on the public square,

steamer City Of Cleveland, of the De-

during heavy fog, east Of Ballards
reef, and stove large hole In her bot
tom amidships. The water rushed in
with great force and the steamer
gradually filed until she rested on
bottom, with, however, her main deck
still above water. The shock was so
slight that none Of the 40 passengers
who were asleep in their berths were
awakened and there was no alarm.
Many of them did not know Of the ac-
cident until they were aroused to get
aboard the steamer Newsboy and pro-

On the outside corner of the pave
ment in front of the hotel for many
years was one of the old-style wooden
pumps, put there by John Clark to be
used for the benefit of the tavern, but
many others quenched their thirst
there. AS this historic old pump had
the appearance of the town pump
many thought 1t was one of the town
pumps, but II was not. The town had
built five pumps for the use of the
public and to be used in case of fire.
These were located as follows: The
court house corner; northeast corner
Market and Ninth street; southeast
corner Market and Fourth streets;
southeast corner Tuscarawas and De-
walt streets: and northwest corner
Tuscarawas and Rex streets. All have
disappeared, but two large stone slabs
in the pavement at the northeast cor
ner of Market and Ninth streets mark
the spot where the last of these public
pumps stood.
