Some time ago the use of gasoline
lamps in Ohio was forbidden by the oil
inspectors Of the State. The manufac-
turers of these lamps have obtained an
opinion from the Attorney General of
the State, in which he holds that lamps
invented since the passage of the law in
1894, and which provide for vaporizing
the gasoline and burning the vapor, in
stead of using wicks, do not come under
the ban of the law.

The duelling practise has just led to
an ugly tragedy in German garrison
in Lorraine. A duel was arranged be-
tween two officers, but never took place,
because brother of one went and muir
dered the other officer in cold blood.
The murderer gave himself up and ex-
planned that as his brother, man with
family, would have been killed in the
duel, he, a single man, had elected to die
in his place, even as a murderer.
The Kansas City, Mo-, Real Estate
Exchange favors the Torrens system in
regard to land transfers. The Torrens
system was first adopted in Australia,
and is now in vogue in that country,
Manitoba, and in Massachusetts and
some other States of the United States.
Its advocates claim that it greatly sim
plifes real estate transfers and renders
them less expensive, while at the same
time making titles less dubious.

His Own Line of Work.

Mr.. A. o. Slentz. formerly superin.
tendent of buildings of the Canton
public schools, has accepted position
with the Novelty Iron works, having
charge of the pattern department and
having the job work of the institution
generally, under his supervision. Mr..
Slentz had many offers to go into bus
mess, but chose something in a line
in which he is familiar. He is confin-
ing his attention, for the present, to the
local field but will later be away from
the city portion of the time, at least.
He is considered to be one of the most
valuable and exact men in his line of
work, that is in the city, and will
doubtless bring much business to the
Sherlock plant, by his connection with
it.

VALUABLE POCKETBOOk
Found BY Kaufman and Was
Burned With His Clothes
In the Fire.

Victor Kaufman, may save Isaac
Geisen, Toledo contractor, $1,000.
Geisen lost his pocketbook in front
OF the Forest City house, one day last
week. 1t contained money, checks and
notes aggregating $1,000. Kaufman
found the book, but couldn't discover
Geisen's name in the directory. So he
waited for the owner to advertise,
which the latter did. Kaufman wrote
to Geisen to meet him at the water
works office, Wednesday morning, and
get his property.
When Geisen walked into the office,
Wednesday, he heard that Kaufman
was dead and his property destroyed
by fire. The pocketbook was burned, but
Kaufman may save Geisen loss by
making oath to the contents of the
book, so that duplicate checks may be
issued.

PLEADED NOT GUILTY,
Mrs. Butler Says She Did Not
Use Indecent and Pro-
fame Languaqe.

Constable Grayham went to Wam-
ington yesterday afternoon and placed
Mrs. Rosanne Butler under arrest on a
warrant issued upon complaint filed by
Curtis Crawford Of the same place. The
change preferred against Mrs. Butler
is that of using profane and obscene
language. The constable brought her
to the city and later she was arraigned
before Acting Mayor Sibila. Mrs. But
Ter entered plea Of not guilty to the
charge and gave bond for her appear
ance next Saturday evening at 2
o'clock. Witnesses will be summoned
from Warrington and the trial will
likely possess many interesting fea-
lures. The charge was made as the
result of a neighborhood feud in which
bitter words were interchanged.

MONGOLIAN PHEASANTS.
The Annual Distribution Now
Being Made BY State Game
Warden Reutinaer.

State Game Warden Reutinger is
now attending to the annual distribu.
ton of Mangolian pheasants among
the farmers of the state.
While there are more young birds
at the hatchery this eyar than ever be-
fore, the demand exceeds the supply
and the pheasants are being sent only
to those sections Of the state which
have proven to be adapted for them.
Where the birds have been protected
as on the preserves of the large hunt.
ing clubs, their increase has been phe-
nomenal. Clermont and Pickaway
counties have been let out Of the dis
tribution, as there have been no efforts
made to protect the birds which have
been sent to these counties and they
have been slaughtered by pot hunt
ers. Until there is change in senti-
ment among the farmers of these
counties and measures are taken to
protect the pheasants no more will be
sent to them.

WILL DRAW LOTS.
Mayor Hits Upon a Plan to Give
Officers Vacation Without
Gripping Department.

Mayor Robertson has reconsidered
his decision to allow but one police
man to take his fifteen days vacation
at time and has hit upon plan that
he thinks will give every officer his
vacation and at the same time will
not cripple the efficiency Of the de-
partment. One patrolman will be al
lowed to 60 at time. There are % of
them and their vacations will use up
nearly all of year. The eight house
men will also take their days of rest
one at time, at the same period as
one Of the patrolmen. In this way
there will be but one officer off at time
from each division of the department
and 1t will not be crippled. The patrol
men will draw lots for their times.

INTENSE EXCITEMENT.
Scenes Along the River Front Were
neutrality-suspicious. People.

The scenes along the river front ear
ly in the morning we're ones of intense
and fearful excitement. As soon as II
became known that disaster had oc-
CURED far out in the lake throngs Of
anxious people began to gather along
the docks and await with trepidation
accurate news from the scene of the
disaster.
The first tangible evidence of the ex-
tent of the fatalities caused by the aw-
full fire was brought in by the tug
Sprankle, which came into the river
about 4:30 O'Clock. The small boat
was loaded to the very limit with men
rescued from the burning crib. These
were either entirely or partially naked
They had been picked up out of the
lake by Capt. Thorne and the crew Of
the Sprankle. Many of them had burns
Two were seriously hurt, one having
his hands nearly burned off and the
other with dangerously injured back
Two others also were hurt, but the lat
ter refused to go to the hospital.
The rescued men were i'm panic
stricken state of mind. The excite
ment of the disaster and the horror
they had suffered had their after eff
fects. Many of them had been literally
pulled from the Jaws of death, having
been rescued from the waters of Lake
Erie just as they were sinking for the
third time. Their appreciation Of
Capt. Thorne's heroism was pathetic
Tears rose in their eyes as they stood
on the dock after the tug reached the
landing place. Their voices broke as
they mentioned the name of Arthur
Hastings, who had sunk to his death
or spoke of the probable fate of the
poor devils cornered like rats in the
shaft of the tunnel There were twen-
ty-two men on this tug.
The only relief to the blackness of
the tragedy that resulted from the
burning of the crib was the rescue of
the nine men imprisoned in the tunnel
below the lake.
These men had been given up at
once for dead. When a signal up the
shaft told at a. m. that some one was
still alive at the bottom intense eX.
element resulted, but even then the
men working to save the imprisoned
workmen hardly dared to hope for
even partial success.
But when William Currie was haul
ed up the shaft alive, quickly followed
by Tony Kadicheski, a remarkable
scene was enacted amid the ruins of
the burned crib. Men wept, men
shouted for every extravaganza of
joy possible under the stress of great
emotion greeted the rescued. The
crowd forgot the terrible spectacle of
the charred bodies of four less fortu-
nate workmen lying close at hand.
Their only thought was for the living
snatched from the jaws of death.

HEAVY FIGHTING
Is Reported as Having Occurred
Monday on Outskirts of
Pana ma q nd Colon.

News-Democrat Leased Wire Service.
Kingston. Jamaica, Aug. 15.--The
British steamer Darien, from Colon,
reports heavy fighting on Monday on
the outskirts of Panama and Colon,
with the advantage lying on insurgents
side. They were steadily advancing
on two cities. Many on each side had
been wounded.
A number of passengers who were
forced to leave Colon in order to es-
cape danger and conscription were on
the Darien. They say the rebels
chances for victory are better than at
any time since the revolution began.
Both sides are committing atrocities.

Street Railway Men Will
Join q Union.
They WILL AFFILIATE
With MassilIon Street Railway
Men--Have No Grievances,
But Are Ready For Xxx
Emergencies. a&

"A committee of Canton street railway
employees came over to Massillon,
Thursday morning and circulated a
sort of invitation to the Massillon
street car men to affiliate with the un-
ion which is now in process Of forma-
tion at Canton. All the local employees,
with the possible exception of one or
two men, signed the paper, thus de-
claring their willingness to enter the
union. At present the enrolment Of
charter members numbers eighty men,
eighteen of whom are of Massillon.
The Canton members held meeting
Wednesday at which N. p. Maier, the
district organizer of the American
Federation Of Labor, was present. Tenn
porary officers were elected and prelim-
mary arrangements We're made for a
permanent and compact organization.
Mr.. Maier has made a formal applica-
tion for charter which will arrive not
later than next week. At that time a
joint meeting of the Canton and Mas
sillon men will be called and the regu-
lar officers will be duly elected and
properly installed.
The organization will affiliate with
the Amalgamated Association of Street
Railway Employees Of America.
1t is not the intention of the men to
make any demands upon the Canton
Massillon company. 1t is understood
that they are well enough satisfied with
their treatment and have no grievances
at the present time. They are simply
organizing for self protection in the
event Of emergencies.
