venir certificates was the chief thing
considered.

worked out. 1t was agreed, however.
that those who made the larger sub

of a souvenir given to the one giving
only a small sum to the fund. The

1t is thought that the defendanta
will try and bring, the matter to q
speedy hearing in the courts, as the
company Is anxious to go ahead and
complete the work Of grading the hills
before winter sets in.
At the time set for the letting Of the
contract, number of bids were re-
ceived and had not the injunction been
allowed 1t Is altogether likely that the
greater part of the work would have
been done by this time. -
The number of petitions sent into
the commissioners. az set forth In thu
answer, shows that the people Of that
vicinity are very anxious to have the
county bear the expense Of half the
grading. "a they claim that they, ,ars

In the reports sent out that the water
facilities of the city are crippled by the

beside the one which broke Is in good
condition, and should it give way there
is still another one on McKennon hill
which holds nearly 100000 gallons
In addition to that the pumping station
which was not damaged in the least in

contrary, can furnish water by the d.

the endangered houses, who rushed to

OF the torrent and, though caught by

Attorneys Taylor and Stewart, Sat
urday afternoon fled answer in the
case of Ohio against the county COM
missi0hers. in which temporary In
junction had been granted restraining
them from entering into contract for
the grading of Uniontown hills on the
Canton and Akron road, over which the
Canton-Akron street railway is being
built. They had advertised for bids and
were ready to let the contract. the in
tention being to take the money for
the work out of the special road levy

stopping proceedings until the case
was heard on its merits.
The commissioners then secured the
services of Taylor & Stewart as their
counsel, since the prosecuting attorney
was on the other side, and that law
firm prepared the answer which has
been filed. The contention IS that the
commissioners acted upon the peti-
tions OF the resident taxpayers in that
vicinity and were wholly within the
law in all that they did. The answer
sets forth the following:
On the. 29th day of July, William

consented to the assessment of so per

The action OF the commissioners was
at the request and upon the strength
of these petitions and upon the belief
that said improvements were neces-

To the Republicans of Ohio:-
The Republican State Executive
Committee has received with profound
grief the sad news of the death of
President Mckinley, foully assassinat-
ed at Buffalo one week ago. It's
members share with their countrymen
and with the family of this noble man
whose spirit has departed, the weight
of crushing woe.
This is time when thoughts and
expressions of partisanship should be
stilled. The Committee, therefore,
deems it fitting that in season of uni
versal sorrow all political activity be
suspended. Not contention, but
tears, should mark this hour.
For this reason it has been decid-
ed 10 cancel the date of the Republi-
can campaign opening meeting, which
was to have been held at Delaware,
on the 21st of Sept. For the present
all other formal demonstrations Incl
dent to the conduct of political can
vass will be abandoned.
