bill is practically prepared, but its pro
visions will not be given out until af
ter the legislature convenes and the

read and his code introduced.

CAME OUT ALIVE
Ten Year Old Boy Passed
Through Rolls Of q Stone
Crushar.

Thomas Mclaughlin, aged 10 years,
living on Paine avenue, at Birming-
ham, went through stone crusher
yesterday afternoon and is alive to
tell his experience.
The boy was playing around the
large machine belonging to Contractor
Mcmahon. The little fellow fell on the
bucket carrier, dropped into the bin,
went through the chute, out again
and then into a wagon.
He sustained severe bruises all over
his body, several teeth were knocked
injuries are feared. He was picked
up unconscious and taken to the Office
Of DR.. Minton; who dressed his in
juries.
While the lad did not go through
the crusher proper, he travelled
through the bin, where the larger
stones are crushed before going
through the rolls that prepare the
stone for the pavement. The space
through which his body went varies
from eight to ten inches in width,
and how he escaped death is a mys-
terry to those who understand the
workings of the crusber.
The lad rested easy last night and
this morning had regained conscious
ness
Those working on the crusher were
Mortified when the body came out on
the carrier. They expected to see it
crushed to pulp.

Mrs. George Edward Cook, a former
Canton woman well known in society
circles, died in a hospital in New York
city at 1890 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. Mrs. Cook underwent surgical
operation Thursday afternoon, the ma
ture of which was not stated in the
messages received by Canton rela-

gram was received saying that she
had withstood the ordeal very well.
This was followed by another some
hours later to the effect that her heart
action was weak. This was followed
by a third message Saturday morn

covered from her trouble. and her
death is ascribed to some other
cause.

Mrs. Orin e. Peters. The family NOV
ed to Ciscinnati a number of years
ago, where the father of the deceased
became president of the Peters Cart
ridge company. Here she met George

Mr.. and Mrs. Cook lived in Canton
almost continuously after their mar
riage until a year ago last January,
when they moved to New York city,
where Mr.. Cook became the eastern
representative of the Peters Cartridge
company. During their residence in
Canton, Mr.. and Mrs. Cook were pop
ular in the best social circles and their
pleasant home on North Market street
was the scene OF many happy society
events.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peters, of Cincinnati,
the parents of the deceased, are now
on their way to New York. The fun
eral arrangements and place of inter-
ment will not be decided upon until
they arrive there. Mrs. w. Z. Kep.
linger, of 816 North Market street, is a
sister Of Mrs. Cook, and is pearly

MGRAW'S PROPOSALS

Coughlin and DeIehanty Refuse Mugg-

! report from New York this morn rs
stated that -.Muggsyr McGraw had
signed Third Baseman Coughlin, Of the
Washington team for the New York
Giants and that Coughlm would join
that tea1 IN about two weeks. Manager
Lotus. when asked about this report by
Times reporter. declared that there
was nothing IN It.
It Is said that NcGraw stated in aH
interview IN Chicago yesterday that
while in Washington he did q little
business. but refused 10 say what 1t
was. McGraw was IN Washington on
Saturday and it Is known that he ap-
preached several of the Washington
players. among them Couehlia-
CoughHn listened to his proposals, and
then laughed at them. He al once com
municatcdrto Manager Lotus the over,
lures McGraw had made. and assured
The Washington manager that he had no
intention whatever OF leaving the Sena-
Tors. stating he would stick to the con
tract made with the local club a short
time ago NCGrSw also made a proposal

plished while he was in this city was 10

Were jcsts. Nearly all the members Of
the team are incensed at McCiraw's at
tempt 70 corral American League play
ers- for, they say. If he succeeded ia his
efforts It would so a long ways toward
disruptins the organization and thereby
react in the end on the players them
selves
The present fight between The big
leagues Is the best thing that can hap
pen for the baupIsyeTs. as everyone
knows, and If NcGraw had his way there
would be bat one leading baseball ass0-
citation in the country. and salaries
would naturally again be cut TO the
lowest possible figure
So Ear as doing business with any
members Of the Washington team it
can be safely asserted that McGraw' s
efforts At would 20 long way toward
and his statement made ia Chicago was
probably only q piece Of buneombe to
help his fame along
