James Flynn Killed
While at Work
UNDER MOVING CRANE
Body Ma ngled and Face Black.
ened and Burned by Eiec"
tricity--Support Of q
Widowed Mother.

James Flynn, a workman at the
Stark Rolling mill was caught and
crushed, to death Monday morning,
He was working on the shed at the
side of the main part Of the shop. rivet.
ing collars on the roof. Wells, a fel,
low workman, asked him to get board
for him. Flynn stepped inside the
shop upon the track Of the crane.
THE CRANE WAS MOVING
at the time, though Flynn did not look
in that direction. Before the engine
man could stop the crane, the great
heavy piece of machinery had rolled
over the body of his fellow workman.
The lifeless body dropped 80 feet to the
brick pavement below.
Workmen ran to the assistance, but
life was quite extinct. A physician
was called. The lower part of Flynn's
body was mangled horribly and one
arm was almost torn or. The left
side was cut open and the face was
BLACKENED AND BURNED
with electricity. 1t is probable that
had not the man been killed by the
force of the blow death would have
resulted from the electrical shock.
The body was taken in an ambulance
to Arnold and McCrea's morgue, and
the mother notified Of the death of her
son. She was nearly prostra.sl with
grief. Flynn was the only son and his
mother is a widow depending chiefly
upon the earnings of her son for sup.
port. He made his home with her at
1915 South Cherry street. Flynn was
a young man Of scarcsly more than
twenty years. He had been in the
employ of the Berger company for the
past three years. Flynn had num-
ber of more distant relatives living in
Canton.

PLANT BURNED
Fire Brick Paving Works
Destroyed.
THE LOSS $4,000
Fire Supposed to Have Been
Caused by Spontaneous
Combustion--Canton
Men Interested.

The Canton Malvern Fire Brick Paw
ing company's plant was totally de-
stroyed by fire Saturday night. Spon-
taneous combustion is supposed to
have caused the blaze, which was first
discovered about II o'clock. The
flames mounted rapidly to the roof and
soon enveloped the entire structure,
making blaze that could be seen for
miles, and hundreds were attracted 10
the scene of the conflagration.
The total loss is estimated at $22,-
900. The dry floor was filled with
green brick to its utmost and these are
total loss. The plant was partially
covered by insurance. About 80 men
will be thrown out of work.
Mr.. John S. Melbourne, of Canton,
who is one Of the chief stockholders
in the concern, has gone to Malvern
1t is not yet known whether 1t will be
rebuild or exactly what per cent. Of the
loss was covered by policy.

One of the best souvenirs Of the Pam
American Exposition is the ,Pan-American
Coffee Spoon gotten out by the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern Ry. 1t makes q
handsome souvenir, and at the same time Is
very serviceable, for 1t is a firstsclass spoon
in every respect, being fully equal to Rogers,
and will last for years. We can bestow no
higher praise than to say that the quality Is
in keeping with the well known reputation
of the Lake Shore for reliability and
excellence.
The very manner Of disposing Of the
spoons Is good illustration of this. Instead
OF following plan of giving out cheap
souvenir, the Lake Shore has a spoon of the
best quality, which they furnish at 20 cents
each--a very low price considering that
quality spoons of the same grade at the
Exposition sell at from 80 to rs cents.
These souvenirs will be sent postpaid TO
any address on receipt of 20 cents in coin,
which should be sent direct TO the factory
addressing, The Oneida Community, Linn
tied, Niagara Falls, N. Y. In ordering be
particular to give your name and full. ad-
dress plainly.

from its Vienna correspondent:
In reply to telegram l addressed

any hand In the abduction of Miss
Stone. He adds: The committee de-
sires the support of the civilized world

fore, would not commit such a folly.
The Turks did the deed, and Turkey
must be responsible

minister. Indignantly denies the sug-

TAXATION QUESTION
Being Made the Para m cunt
Issue in This Campaign
BY the Democrats.
From a Staff Correspondent.

From Staff Correspondent.
Columbus, Oct. S.-The style of
campaign adopted by the leading par
ocrats are insisting that state issues
are involved more than anything else
and that there is no national issue
before the people OF the state this fall.
The taxation question is being made
the paramount one by the Democrats.
They claim that the question whether
the man with a moderate income and
a small home or small business shall
assume about 80 per cent of the tax
alton, while the other fellows get off
with 20 per cent, and sometimes less,
is one that the people of Ohio ought to
think about. 1t is claimed the railoads
do not pay their share and that If they
did enough would be paid each year
to relieve every county in the state
from a direct state tax, with good
margin left to pay off Indebtedness.
The Republicans are not meeting this
argument at all, and are apparent
ly making no effort to meet 1t, rather
protecting the railroads and other
concerns holding public grants, as
against the smaller taxpayers. This
protection is done through state off,
cials who are asking to be endorsed
at the polls this fall. Instead of meet
ing the issues as set forth in the plat
forms of the two parties, the Republi-
can committee is depending almost
solely Oh the assassination of Pres
ident Mckinley to aid them to keep
the party together. 1t is a tombstone
campaign so far as the Republican
committee is concerned.

BuLGARIANS INDIGNANT,
Believe Macedonian Committee En-.
aineered kidnapping Of Miss Stone.

Dineereo Niundping OF MISS otones
Phillipolis, Bulgaria, Oct. 9.--Public
interest in the fate of Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the kidnapped American mis-
tionary, intensifies here. There is
widespread condemnation of the gov.
ernment for allowing such freedom to
the Macedonian committee as to en-
able it to engineer the outrage. Miss
Stone resided here before she went
to Salonica, and she Is well known
throughout the country. The patri-
otic Bulgarians are incensed, as they
recognize that Miss Stone and her
colleagues of the American missions
IN Bulgaria and Macedonia have been
their best friends throughout the trou-
bles.
There is no lack of indications that
Prince Ferdinand Is imperiling his
own position by permitting such IL
cense to the committee as to enable
1t to blackmail prominent people in
supporting the Macedonian cause.
Consul General Dickinson, when
here on his way from Constantinople,
thought it probable that if the bri.
gands understood from headquarters
that the ransom would not be paid
they would release Miss Stone, as the
Macedonian cause would not be
helped by the murder Of the woman.
The brigands have extended the
time OF payment Of the ransom for
one month.
There is now no doubt that Miss
Stone was abducted under orders
from the Macedonian committee.

WORDS OF PRAISE
From Western Reserve Univer-

High words Of praise are extended
to the Canton high school by Prof.
Charles F. Thwing, president of Adel-
bert college, of Cleveland. In a re-
cent communication to Superintendent
j. NJ. Sarver, in which is noted the ad
mission upon certificate to the college
of Miss Grayce Daniels and Miss En-
ma Mumaw, both members of the
class of 1901, DR.. Thwing dwells at
length on the adaptability Of course
of study as ratified by the local board
of education. Canton has one of the
few high schools in Ohio which pos
sess the right Of admission by certi-
ficate to the larger colleges. The
Western Reserve university, the uni
versity of Cincinnati, the Ohio State
university, the University Of Chicago
Oberlin, Cornell and many others pass
Canton high school pupils with great
est confidence. This is remarkable
when the fact is considered that many
of the high school pupils here come
from the country districts, in which

tive. President Thwing's letter fol

tion of your schools. have examined
the course of study with great care.
think your course is admirable in
laying emphasis on important studies.
l have an idea that the course of
study in most high schools is injured
by the Introduction Of too many sub
jects. Many subjects mean brief study
of each. Discipline is produced by the
prolonged and thorough as possible
study of each subject. The Canton
high school is the first in Ohio to in
