Phillips died at the county infirmary,
Sunday evening, aged 10S years. She
was born in New York state, and al
though of the race Of bonds-people,
was reared in a white family Of aboli-
ton principles. She lived in Ravenna
about 35 years. She had been an in
mate of the infrmary for about three
years. and had never been married.
James Moore arrived in Ravenna,
Monday, by which act he terminated
the suspense and anxiety Of his brave
little wife, who had been waiting fpr
him since last Thursday, with her
family of five little children.
1t seems that the family had lost
crippled son, who died from the effects
of an operation. The heavy expense
of nearly $1,000 so reduced their cir
cumstances that he wrote to Ravenna
and secured employment as moulder
for the American Foundry and Ma
chine Co. Not having sufficient money
to pay his own fare after purchasing
tickets for his family, he sent them to
Ravenna, where they landed penniless
and strangers on Thursday afternoon.
1t was arranged that he should follow
them as best he could on freights, and
patiently did the little woman await
his appearance. But Thursday, FRI
day, Saturday and Sunday came and
went and still was she alone with her
little ones, the oldest of whom is ten
years, and the youngest, babe of
four months. During all this time she
lived in the depot, anxiousiy and faith
fully inquiring Of every train crew for
news Of her husband.
1t seems that he made mistake by
getting onto the pilot Of the Mahoning
division engine hauling the Erie New
York limited, which makes no stop be-
tween Warren and Cleveland, instead
Of boarding main line train for Ra-
VIENNA.
Leading Ravenna Republicans are in
favor of endorsing Mayor Riddle in
party caucus, next spring, to com.
plete his term for which he was elect.
ed last spring, only one half of which
will have been served. The election
will be necessitated under the Nash
municipal code and it is deemed mat,
ter Of simple courtesy and justice by
these fair minded leaders that the
young Mayor be continued for the
term to which the people elected him
without any political opposition. 1t il
more than likely that this will be done
Chrysa millennium show in Kent or
Wednesday evening, Nov. 10.
10000 pounds of canned fruits were
precipitated into a jammed up hear
at the Phillips Gaming & Picking
works in Kent, last Saturday night
about 8 o'clock. A large section OF
| flooring gave way under the great
weight which had been threatening the
safety of the timbers all that after
noon.
Had the crash iome before quitting
time, great loss of life must have re
suited, as 15 or 20 girls had been work
ing all day at the exact place of the
catastrophe.
Ravenna is getting ready to take q
vote on local option and it is confident
ly predicted by the temperance people
that the saloon will be voted out OF
town. There is quiet element that I.
not saying much but will vote "agains-
the saloon" at the polls.

.A.eC. Williams, proprietor of the Ra
VIENNA Sad Iron works, is in New Yorl
where he Is said to be having audi
ence with leading sad iron manufac
turers on the subject Of sad iron com
bine. The Williams plant is the kine
Of them all, and little fear is expressed
of any unfavorable results for Raven
ma in the event Of the scheme being
consummated.
