properly is. Mathews went to East
Liverpool about the time mentioned
to get shaved. While seated in the
barber shop the potters went to him.
Mathews was frightened. The man
was roughly handled and put on a
street car for Wellsville, accompanied
by a score of men. A great crowd
gathered at Liverpool to witness the
affair. After a short time he was al.
lowed to go unmolested. the potters
having turned their interests in him to
the steel workers.

A NEW RULING
OF Internal Revenue commis-
sioners Requires Bonds
To Be STAN ped.

Probate Judge Aungst has received
a ruling of the internal revenue depart
ment that will affect some legal dOcu-
ments that It was supposed wele free
from war tax July /. A circular letter
sent out by Frank McCord, collector,
states that the commissioners of inter-
nal revenue have recently made q rul-
ing under the amended revenue law
that all bonds of executors and admin
istrators must have revenue stamps
upon them, as must also bonds of guard
ians, receivers and trustees appointed
by the court. Bonds for prosecution, to
stay proceedings In appeal and on writs
of error do not require to be stamped.
It is the duty Of the probate Judge TO
notify all persons who have filed such
bonds as come under this ruling with
out stamps to come in and place the
proper revenue upon them. s..
There is one difficulty that confronts
the officials. Since the modification of
the revenue law July 1, none ! of the
banks carry a supply Of stamps and tho
nearest place they can be secured Is at
Cleveland, so 1t is rather inconvenient
for a person who wants a single stamp
to have to send to the Forest City for 1t.
All deeds are still required to be stamp
ed, though the rate has been reduced
and the same trouble Is experienced In
the recorders office to secure a supply

The local mill workers are almost

for today. They think also that the
settlement will be favorable to the
men. Lorenzo James, In speaking Of
the proposed terms of settlement, said:
"If the company will agree to pay

under such an agreement would be the
signing of the scale for all the mills.

East Liverpool, July 30.--Owing to
the carelessness of the men engaged in
unloading large stone to be used in
the construction of the stone retaining
wall along Pennsylvania avenue on the
hill just above the east end of Thomp-
son pottery, one of the morning pas
senger trains barely escaped being
struck by large stone weighing some
500 pounds. which was thrown over the
embankment. The stone was pom

the wagon got away from the men
and rolled over the hill. 1t gained
considerable speed in It's flight down

main track nearest the hill just few
minutes after the morning train had
passed. The stone bounded In the air

From a STAFF Correspondent.

From STAFF Correspondent.
Columbus, July 30.-.The circulating
library has become a distinctive fea-
ture and valuable adjunct to the Ohio
state library. 1t is an excellent me-
dunn for the distribution of good lit
erature throughout the state and is
steadily growing in popularity and
increasing in scope. The system was
introduced in the fall OF 1896 and since
over 1000 travelling libraries have been
established. 1t is controlled and di.
rected by the Ohio State Library com.
mission. Its object is to furnish good
literature to the public and to strength
en- small Libraries and to create an in.
terest in the establishment of new
ones. A travelling library is collec.
tio of from twenty-five to thirty five
books sent out by the state library to
reading club, an association of citi-
zens, a board of education or a public
library, to be kept three months
with privilege OF removal. Forms are
issued to parties wishing books and the
recipients are required to pay the cost
of transportation. Proper care must
be taken of the books.
Stark, Columbiana and Mahoning
counties have availed themselves of
the opportunities of the travelling II
brary system for several years and
| each year the number of branch librar-
les in each of these counties shows an
increase. OF the three counties Colum-
biana is most numerously represented.
The greater number of the patrons OF
the system are in the smaller towns
and villages, where good books are
not as accessible as in cities. The
communities in the three counties to
which the library system extends are
as follows: Stark-Alliance, Lima
vile. Maxine, Louisville. Justus
Beech City and Massillon. Columbi
ana-Negley. Rogers, Signal, New Wat
erford. East Palestine. Fr.nklin
Square. Leetonia, Lisbon, Gylford and
Kensington.
Mahoning-Beloit, Snodes. Berlin
Centre, Youngstown. Lowellville, y
Jackson and Mineral Ridge. The sys
| TEN has progressed more in Stark, Co
lumbiana and Mahoning counties than
in most counties.
The state printer is now at work on 8
publication which will review the
inception and growth of Ohio librar
les. Sketches will be given of the Ii
braries at Canton, East Liverpool, Sa
| lem, Steubenville. Youngstown. War
ren, Massillon, Garfield and Lisbon
Most of these libraries will be illus
trated by appropriate cuts. Statistics
of libraries in Alliance, East Palestine
Leetona and Wellsville and OF librarie;
smaller places in the southeastern
part of the state will appear. Historic
sketches of 20 prominent libraries o.
the state will be given, and briefer men
tion made of about 200 more of lesser
! Importance. The publication will also
include full resume of the circulating
library system. Its chief purpose Is t
accentuate the pressing need of II
braries In Ohio and show what MAJ
be accomplished through their instru
mentality. The example of Carnegie
as a founder of libraries will be com
mended for emulation to public spirited
men of wealth.

return bonds of $2,5OO were given for MT. Hill by William Henry Harrison Hewitt, of this city, the well known real estate dealer and former democrat ic candidate for mayor. MT. Hill was thereupon released and returned to this city.
 How it came about that MT. Hill was arrested is thus told in a Bridgeport paper:
 MT Hill was present as a witness in the cases, in the superior court in Bridgeport, of Lawrence F. Carey and Michael Cannon, who were charged with embedding $2,000 from John Grif- fen. Griffens consumptive son was in- sured in the Manhattan company of which MT. Hill Is state manager.
 Some three months before Griffen's death he was insured for s2,50O. On his death his father, who was the beneh- ciary on the certificate, but who did not pay the premiums, was egiven $500 Carey and Cannon, agents of the insur- ance company in Bridgeport, paid the premiums. It was while hearing the cases of embezzlement against them that the Manhattan Insurance overseer decided, after conference with the state attorney, to have issued bench warrants charging Hill, Carey and Cannon with conspiracy.
 Carey and Cannon were tried in the city court three weeks ago on the charge of defrauding one John Griffen out of S2,000. It is alleged that they in- duced Griffen to insure the life of his consumptive son for $2,5OO, and that when the son died, three months later, Griffen received only $500.
 Griffen was unable to read or write, and it is said that Carey carried on all negotiations for him. When the check was made out it was endorsed to Carey and Griffen received only $500. What became of the other $2000 is what the court wants to find out.
 Yesterday afternoon Attorney Henry G. Newton, of New Haven, came to this city to consult with E. c. Hill. The ac- cused was in the custody of Sheriff Doolan and was permitted to consult with his attorney in the sheriff's office. State Attorney Fessenden remained at the court house the better part of the day preparing the states case. Hill shows great nervousness since his in- carceration.
 MT. Hill said last evening that he knew nothing of either Carey or Gan non personally, and that Cannon never was an agent for the company. Carey had been an agent for the company, but his license as agent was cancelled last December by the insurance commission CT and by the Manhattan company. Three months after Griffen's son was insured he died of acute tuberculosis. MT. Hill, proceeding, said that he there upon investigated the case for the com pany and the. sum of $2,5OO was paid.

AN EP1SCOPALIAN COMMEMORA-
 rrION

New Haven has kept good many centennials during the past twenty-five years, but bi-centennialS are not so common. although not unknown either in the past or in the immediate future. The Episcopal church celebrates during | the present week the bi-centenary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, the first missionary society in the Church of England, which was founded for the purpose of ministering to the spiritual needs of Episcopalians in the American colonies.

This was most inspiring service, the music being led by the regular Trinity choir

After the celebration of holy communion the morning will be devoted to the stories of the beginnings of those parishes which were founded before the Revoiu- tion, inclpdng Trinity church of this city This will be followed by service of thanksgiving at o'clock, when the bishop will again make an address. During the day there will be an exhibi- ton of interesting church relics of old en time.

 William L. Barker, piano dealer on Chapel street, who has gone into bank ruptcy is involved in dispute that has arisen between creditors of Barker and Jacob Doll, the manufacturer of pianos of New York city.

They were out on leases, and these were claimed by the creditors. Doll claims them all as his property He says that they were temporarily in possession of Barker and did not form any part of the bankrupts estate. To decide who will have possession of the musical instruments a suit of inter- pleaded has been brought by Frank |. Booth, one of the creditors, against Doll the makers of the pianos, and Attorney F.. s. Thomas, who Is trustee of the Barker estate. The value of the in struments Is about $2,500. The case will be. determined in the superior court.
