George Hon, sentenced to the penlten-
tiary for ten years from Adams county
for forging an order for rs cents worth
of tobacco. Hon is one of the noted
prisoners in the penitentlary. His SEN
tence was not so much for his crime
as for his actions after 1t was COM
nittcd
Hon was the first prisoner TO be con-
fined in the new jail in West Union.
The builders of the prison offered u
prize of 800 to any man who would
escape from its cells.
Hon had been confined in the Jail
hut 2i hours when he made lis escape.
After he was rearrested he laid claim
to the award, but the contractors set
up the claim that he had been assisted
by some one on the inside and refused
to pay 1t. Hon talked for long time
of bringing suit, but Mt last dropped
the matter The escape became a po-
litical issue in the county and destroy
ed the careers of several politicians.
After Hons escape the sheriff put
two bloodhounds on his track. Hon
made friends with the dogs. stole them
and sold them to a farmer for IS. At
Manchester he stole the laprobe and
cushion from the buggy of the deputy
sheriff who was after him. He made
his way to Wisconsin. where he was
finally arrested and landed in the PEN
itentiary. AS he has served three
years his friends consider he has been
sufficiently punished and will try to
secure a pardon.

Delaware, o.. June 17.-Ohio Wes-
leyan university is to lose President
j. W. Bashford, who will accept the

Welty Challenged Tho
Jurisdiction.
OF SUPREME COURT
In the Canal Dover Injunction
Case--Wiii Make II q Test
OF the Famous Roy.
er Law.

The case brought by citizens OF
Canal Dover against the Canton-New
Philadelphia Electric railway company
or more properly. against the Canton
Akron company. will be made the basis
of test of the Roger law, which was
passed by the last legislature, and
which it is claimed has robbed the
supreme court of ito S-risdiction in q
large number of cases.
Attorney John G.. Welty filed a
motion challenging the jurisdiction OF
the supreme court in this case. The
court expressed desire to make this
test of the Roger law and all attor-
neys have been invited to appear and
make argument in the action If they
desire to do so.
In case the injunction against the
railway company was ordered dismiss
ed by both the common pleas and cir
cult courts and If the supreme court
has no jurisdiction, as claimed the
company wins the suit.
1t has been claimed ever since the
passage of the Royer law that by leav-
ing out part of the old section many
cases cannot be carried to the supreme
court. The question has been dis
cussed in an informal way and at
torneys generally are OF the opinion
that the amendment has bean a great
blnnder
Mr.. Welty goes to Columbus Wednes-
day evening and will argue the ques-
tion to the supreme court Thursday

Washington. June 17.--It is the in
tention of the Republican members Of
the committee on Cuban relations to
hold a meeting this afternoon for the
purpose of comforting on the question
Of Cuban reciprocity, and whether
there shall be caucus Of Republican
senators will depend upon a decision
of the majority members of that COM
mittee. II they decided finally upon
bill, and ask that caucus be
called to pass upon It, the call will be
issued, and the caucus probably will
be held Wednesday.
There is some feeling against cau-
Gus on the part of the Republican SEN
ators who support the reciprocity
plan. and on account Of this sentl-
ment, there is growing possibility
that no caucus will be held. No one
doubts that the reciprocity advocates
would be in the majority i'm a/Repub-
lican caucus, but the minority would
be sufficiently numerous to show a d.
vision. 1t Is the wish of the leaders
to avoid this exhibition, If possible.
The beet sugar men show no dispo-
sition' to weaken. They have held a
conference and have pledged them
selves to. stand solidly against the
senate bill. They say as result of
that conference that there are no fewer
than nineteen Republican senator's
who will announce in the caucus, II one
Is held, that they will vote against the
bill for a reduction of the tariff There
are GONE who are not willing to vote
for the house bill with the Morris
amendment included. but others say
they will do SO IL pressed to that ex-
tremity. They continue TO strongly
urge the rebate proposition as coui-
promise, and they claim. that their
compact is firmer than ever before.
Several senators who have knowl-
edge of the condition of business in the
senate said today that congress would
adjourn by July 1.

Massillon, June 17.-Strasburg will.
age about fourteen miles south of Mas
sillon, is practically in ruins today aa
a result of confagration which broke
out in a store there at about lO:40
o'clock last night, and burned fiercely
for several hours.
Several of the largest buildings in
the town were burned to the ground
with nothing but a hand engine to
fight the flames, the residents of the
place were practically at the mercy of
the flames. They stood by and watch
ed the work of destruction which con-
tinued until the Massilon fire depart.
ment arrived at about a. m. and be-
gan to throw water.
According to report received from
there this morning, the fire originated
in the rear of the Carver Bros general
store. 1t is thought to have been of
incendiary origin. Before the Blaze
was discovered the store which is a
three-story frame building, zoo feet
long. was enveloped in fiamess In less
than an hour it was a mass of ruins.
Nothing but the books of the company
and their papers were saved.
From the main building the flames
communicated to another smaller
building, which was also burned. The
loss on these buildings is placed at
about $4,000 with about $4,000 insur-
ance. From the smaller building, the
flames spread with rapidity to the res
idence of T. A. Carver, nearby. This
building was also destroyed 1t was
valued at $4,000, with $4,000 insurance.
Steiner Bros saloon, short distance
away, was also burned, entailng loss
of about $4,000, covered by $4,000 in
surance. Rearick's livery stable, val,
ued at 81 500 was also consumed. All
of the horses and carriages were saved.
The barn belonging to Sumtheimar
was reduced to ashes. The value OF
this could not be ascertained, and it Is
not known whether it was insured
The meat market of M.Renner is also
In ruins. The loss is $4,000 with 81 900
insurance.
1t was the most destructive fire that
has ever visited this place.
For miles the sky was brilliantly
lighted for several hours.
Chief Burkle and Fireman Baatz, to-
gether with about a dozen volunteers,
left Massillon about 80 o'clock on a
special train with an engine and hose
cart. They were unable to do much
because of Inability to get water Tho
fire had big start before they ar
rived. Considering the disadvantage
they did most effective work. Com
munication with Strasburg is complete
ly cut off.
A telephone message at 2 o'clock
says there is no doubt that the fire.
was of incendiary origin. Burglary
was presumably the objectof the in
cendiaries. When the fire was in prog
ress, Richardson's bakery was broken
into, the safe cracked, and $94 carried
away. Several residences were broken
into but nothing of value was Sc.

spectators had her pocket picked

All Delinquent Taxes
Under New Law.
1T is NOT Optional
With tho Treasuper--Impo 20 rt mt
Discovery in Connection
With the Roudebush
Statute.
6star Correspondent.)

Columbus, June 17.-An important
discovery has just been made in the
Roudebush law Regulating the collec-
ton of delinquent taxes. Under the
old statute the bringing Of suit for
recovery of the tax was optional with
the county treasurer, but 1t develops
that the new law makes 1t mandatory
for him to take this step. In case he
fails to do so. the auditor of state
may direct the prosecuting attorney. to
bring suit, who shall be allowed tho
usual fees by the county commission
ers A provision of the new law also
repeals the section allowing delin-
quents two years in which to redeem
property anu specifies that the proper
ty may be sold as in foreclosure pro-
ceedings.
This provision has the approval Of
Attorney General Sheets. who says
that under 1t good prices can be se-
cured for property offered for sale.
The clause permitting the redemption
Of property within period of two
years mulitated against sales because
of a fear on the part of the purchaser,
of being dispossessed of property so
acquired. County treasurers are also
empowered to employ inQuisitors for
the collection Of delinquent taxes, tho
compensation for the work not to be
over rs per cent of the amount col
lected.
