DROVE INTO A DITCH
And Was Injured, His Horse
Ruined and Wagon DemoI-
ished--John Skeels a
Party.

Canton's woes continue to multiply.
1t is not enough that she has a couple
of damage suits on hand and is tied UP
hand and foot by injunctions, but
George Kopp, who drove into an open
ditch on North Cherry street. wants
damages for the injury done him and
his horse and wagon as a result Of the
accident.
Wednesday a petition was filed in
common pleas court by Kopp's attor-
neys, in which it is alleged that on
July 25, 1900, a ditch was left open
on North Cherry street at the third
alley north of North street, by John
Skeels. who was contractor working
for the city Of Canton. The ditch had
been dug about five feet deep for the
purpose of laying a sewer.
1t is stated that the city had knowl-
edge, or could have secured knowledge
of the dangerous condition in which
the ditch was left, had reasonable dill
gence been observed. There were NO
signal lights except one small lantern
placed at the east extremity of the
ditch, which was insufficient as a warn
ing, it is claimed.
On the date mentioned, in the night
time, Kopp was driving along the
street and drove into the ditch with a
horse and wagon. He alleges that the
horse was rendered absolutely worth
less, the wagon and harness were
broken and his right arm and back
were bruised and confused. He was In
bed two weeks as a result of the acci-
dent and has since suffered consider
able pain.
His personal injuries are placed at
$1,000 and the doctor bill, horse and
wagon run the total up to 81, 1893 fol-
which sum he ask judgment. Contrac-
tor Skeels is also made a party de-
fendant to the suit.
Attorneys w. j. Piero and Charles c.
Upham represent the plaintiff.

Struck on the Head BY
a Lever.
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
Skull Fractured and Collar
Bone lnjured-- Another
Accident at Stark
Rolling Mill.

While attempting to start his engine
at the Stark rolling mills at $3.50
o'clock Monday evening, Joe Schneider
was stru.k on the head by the lever
of his machine and seriously injured
The accident was a peculiar one, and
when Schneider fell to the floor with
ont groan, his fellow workmen, only
few of whom were about, did not re-
alize that he was badly hurt.
When the accident occurred Schneid.
er was in the act of reversing the en-
gine. The reversing lever slipped out
of his grasp and few back, striking
him on the right side of the head
and inficting the injuries from which
he is now suffering.
Schneider was picked up and carried
to the offices Of the concern, where
it was found that his skull was frac-
tured and his collarbone injured.
Later he was removed to the Aultman
hospital.
Schneider rested easily during the
night and Tuesday morning was pro-
nounced out of danger, although his
injuries will confine him to his bed for
some weeks. The proprietors of the
Stark mills called early at the Schneid-
er home, at 1921 Marion street, to ask
after the condition of the sufferer.
and his place at the works will be held
omen until after his recovery

:. DOUBT AND HESITATION
Regarding Future Course Of Pricc1
Again Reflected In Stock Mar
ket, Wednesday.

New York, Oct. 10.-7'he ssmo
doubt and hesitation regarding the
future course of prices was rejected
in Wednesdays stock market as In
Tuesdays. Speculation was listlcss
and apathetic and the sentiment of
the small traders whose operations
made up the market underwent many
variations. The annual reISvt of
Brooklyn Transit, which was pub.
lished after the closing of the market
Tuesday night, was interpreted un-
favorably in all the current comment,
especially in the disclosure that the
treasury bonds had been sold during
the year. Yet the stock promptly ad-
yanced and resisted an attempt on the
part of the professional traders to de-
press the price. The stock advanced
at one time 2R, showing the most con-
hpicuous strength in the market. Tho
attempt to advance Atchison on tho
increase In the Atchison dividend
rate. proved abortive, the extreme rise
ever Tuesday night reaching less
than point and the net gain only
"a. The doubt over the predicted ad-
vance was due to the fact of the
shortage in the corn crop. Some CT
the other southwestern railroads were
offered down sharply, as though to
emphasize this view. The estimate
of the years wheat crop by an agri-
cultural periodical placing 1t at a
record figure and at 100, 900, 900 BUSH
els for Kansas alone, was an oppor-
tune Offset to this contention. The
election of an additional Standard Oil
representative to the Union Pacific
Eoard of directors was verification
OF another bull prediction. But the
bull party hesitated to take up the
speculation for an advance, owing to
tho danger that money flurries may
still intervene before the interior
movement Of currency terminates.
Sugar and Amalgamated Copper,
which continued active, drifted rather
uncertainty, but with rather firm
undertone. Norfolk and Western was
bid up nearly points at one time on
the assumption that recent accumula-
ton OF the stock has been for ac-
count Of Pennsylvania railroad inter-
ests. The market closed irregular.
