The citizens of Canton and surround
ing country well remember George B,
Haas, who for SO many years carried
on the business of making chairs and
furniture in the building which we IL
lustrate today. The building now has
an open front, and stands where it
has stood for about rs years. on the
southwest corner Of Rex and Tus-
carawas streets.
George Buckeye Haas was a native
Of Virginia, and came here when a
young man about sixteen years of age.
His father, Rev. Fred Haas, had five
other sons, Frederick, Benjamin, John,
William and Luther, and daughter,
Margaret. Rev. Haas was a Lutheran
minister and was in charge of the
Lutheran congregation in this city for
some time in it's early history.
In 1S41, George B. Haas married
Miss Elizabeth Ely. She was noble
woman. She came here from Washing
ton, Pa, several years before, and
made the whole trip on horseback
from Washington to Canton. A year or
two after their marriage, George b.
Haas and wife moved in the two-story
frame illustrated, and there lived until
the death Of Mr.. Haas in 1878.
Mrs. Haas remained there for sew
eral years thereafter and then quit
housekeeping and made her home with
her daughter, Mrs. Ada b. Cox, where
she died last January, aged 81 years.
George B. Haas died where he had so
long lived, in 1878, aged 65 years. Mr..
and Mrs. Haas had but two children,
Mrs. Ada B. Cox and Marshall e. Haas,
who enlisted in Company F. Fourth
o. V. /. in 1861, and was in several
important battles. Fredericksburg,
Charlottesville and at Gettsburg, Pa.
At Mortans Ford, Va, he was wound
effect Of which clung to him until his
death In 1876. He was married and
moved to Centralia, III. He left wife
and one daughter and a son. He was
very excellent young man and was
taken In the prime of life.
George b. Haas was natural born
mechanic and took great delight In
handling tools, and therefore learned
the trade of making chairs and cabi-
net work, which he continued SO many
years in the building as illustrated.
To many of the old citizens our picture
will carry them far back in their
recollections of Canton. The ware

in Developing OF Coal Ter
ritory - Manufa turers
interested in Project.
QNrom a STAFF Correspondent.)


Columbus, April 11.-Captain Will
liam Hiltabidle, of Akron, superintend-
ent of the Cleveland and Akron di-
vision of the canal stated while in
Columbus, yesterday, that the action
of the legislature in deciding to re-
tain the canal system of the state will
be followed by the formation of new
boat line companies which will result
in the canals being made not only self
sustaining but also very profitable. He
said that at the present time there
is under consideration a project to
organize a boat line company, with
headquarters at Akron, to ply on that
portion of the canal between Cleve-
land and Trenton, in Tuscarawas coun-
ty. He knows of a number of leading
business men of Akron who are willing
to put money into the proposed ven
ture. Among these are manufacturers
whose plants are located on the banks
of the canal. According to present
plans, the intention is to form a com
pany, construct new and serviceable
boats, and plenty of them, and place
them in operation within the next few
months. The concern may be capital
lied at $4,000 for starter.
The principal object of the pro-
jectors is to open up and find a market
for the vast undeyeloped coal fields
in Tuscarawas county, in which they
are interested and which are said to
be very valuable. The company also
hopes to build up good freight trade
from Cleveland south. The present fa-
cilities for the transportation of freight
on the canal are meagre and with any
adequate supply Of boats, it Is argued,
business would be stimulated and
placed on a paying basis. The present
system has its drawbacks.
Captain Hiitabidle believes the man
ufacturers will show hearty co-opera-
ton to the proposed extension of the
board traffic and will arrange to re-
ceive fuel, supplies, etc, and also ship
out their products over the canal.
Senator Sieber. who drew the bill pro-
vlding for the retention of the canals,
is also of the opinion that its passage
means that new boat lines will be
formed which will so increase the bus
iness as to make these waterways
source of revenue to the state.

Chairs in those early times were not
turned out by machinery as now.
George B. Haas would often load up
a large wagon full of chairs and go
to Waynesburg, Magnolia and other
villages within fifteen miles of Canton,
and dispose of them; while his ware
rooms in Canton were constantly kept
supplied with stock for the home trade.
In later years, George b. Haas en-
gagged in the undertaking business with
the late William Prince. For quite

Crrom a stan correspondent)


Columbus, April 1.-THE leap in the
dark has been taken and Governor
Nash's taxation measures are now
laws The Willis and Cole bills were
jammed down the throats of the mem
bers of the senate, Thursday, while
George b. Cox. of Cincinnati, sat in the
lobby and smiled. Governor Nash has
developed into the most servile Cox
man in the state. He "sneezes when
Cox takes snuff" and does the bidding
OF his master abjectly. There is
vacancy in the probate Office of Hamii-
ton county, by reason of death ana
a promotion, and Cox selected Carl
Nippert, present lieutenant governor,
for the place. The Office there Is worth
$50 900 and is better job than pre-
siding over a senate that will pracu-
cally go out of existence in two or
three weeks. Nippert was willing to
be sele cted and all Cox had to do was
to tell Nash what he wanted and the
appointment will be made. This ele.

governorship.
ECHANGE OF COURTESIES.
In exchange for all these courtesies
Cox withdrew any opposition to the
taxation measures and they went
through like a whirlwind. Even Sen
ator Wilhelm capitulated. He has op'
posed the bills fro mthe outret as not
being fair and equitable and placing
unnecessary hardships upon corpora.
tions that are organized in the inter
est of the commercial business of the
state and the manufacturing of pro-
ducts for the people, but even the Stark
county senator was moved to say that
the best thing to do was to pass the
measures, whether he liked them or
not. The dose had been provided and
the good senator simply concluded to
take it, He said the more he studied
the measures the better he liked them,
but the face he made when he swallow
ed the Cox decoction, gave evidence
that he had not studied them much.
At any rate they passed, and with his
vote. They were then sent over to the
house and were concurred in out of
their order.
The scheme is now a law. What
will harvest be? What it will bring
forth nobody knows. Its projectors
know as little about it as any one
else.
The provisions of the measures have
been printed. Corporations are made
to pay taxes on subscribed and insured
stock. Telegraph companies, express
companies and the like are made to
pay under the excise law. The direct
state tax is abandoned, or at least will
be partially abandoned.
In exchange for this the corporations
gets some compensatory laws. The
liability Of stockholders will no longer
be double. Liability on transferred
stock does not exist after 1S months
have passed since the transfer was
made. Other minor matters are allow
ed and the corporations claim to be
willing to give the thing a trial.
