FATALLY HURT
Mans Skull Crushed by
a Car.

Angelo Antinucci, an Italian who
was formerly employed In the Imperial
Brick yards, south of this
city, was seriously injured
Monday morning in the yards. Anti
nucci was watching gang Of fellow
workmen who were loading clay i'm a
car and hauling it to the brick ma
cline. One Of the cars was coming
down a grade and Antinucci was in
front Of 1t. Evidently he did not hear
the car approaching and was wedged
in between it and a post when the
bumper of the car struck him above the
eye, crushing the top of his skull, in
Hicting wound from which portions
of the brain oozed. Drs. F. P. Cal
houn and II. M. Schuffell were called
and Shilling's ambulance conveyed him
to the Aultman hospital where it was
found that his injuries were such that
no hope for his recovery is entertained.

WORK NIGHT AND DAY
Horses and Employees
About Tagged Out.

The busiest people in Canton at this
Christmas time, or rather the days
preceding Christmas, are the employees
of the various express companies. The
men at the heads OF the companies are
working overtime, and the clerks and
delivery men are simply on the go from
carly morning till late at night and
In some instances all night long, taking
care Of the incoming ana outgoing
packages, which contain gifts from
friend to friend or from one relative
to another. The rush began several
weeks ago with the special or rush or
ders of the business men who could not
afford to wait for the slow-moving
freights.
In Canton everything that has a
specific address upon 1t is delivered tina,
comes through the express companies,
and with the hundreds and thousands
of small packages that are coming,
some conception of the amount OF work
necessary to deliver them can be oh
tained. The horses that are used have
long since become weary and the COM
panies have called upon some outside
help to assist during the rush.
The Christmas presents that are
coming and going range in size from
articles as large as a piano dowr ia
the dainty jcwelry boxes thar are en-
trusted to the care of the company for
the reason that many persons think
the method of sending is even safer
than the mails. At every rush season
there are always packages that are
misdirected or The directions so incom-
plcte that they never get beyond the
express Office. Sometimes the parties
arc notified BY the sender and they
come to the Office making Inquiries,
thus revealing the destination OF the
articles. But in many instances It is
necessary. to send back to the offlce
from which thesarticles are sent In or
der to find out what the directions
mean or correct the error.
In addition to the orders sent by the
toy and dry goods stores, the candy and
fruit dealers are large buyers Of special
stocks and this class of goods nearly
all comes through by express. II is
money for the company, but hard work
for the employees, and they will all be
Glad when the rush Is over and norm al
conditions are reached again.

HIS EVENING CALLS.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 21--Accord-
ing to information of rather positive
character, President ROosevelt's visit
to Secretary Hay today was more than
an ordinary sick call or a simple graf
iication OF a desire for peripatetic ex-
ercisc 1t seems that the president has
been secretly paying regular visits to
Secretary Hay. generally In the even
ing. and that he has met there num-
ber Of his closest political advisors, wLo
have conferred with him for hours at a
time. Today he met Senator Lodge
and former Attorney General Wayne
MacVeagh at the Hay home, and the
impression prevails that Of all the i'm
portant subjects discussed, that of PAN
anna and isthmian affairs generally was
the most important.
The president, and those closest to
him are known to be in possession OF
information that has not yet boon Civ
en- to the public and official circles arc
disturbed as to what may be in the

Origin Of Postal Frauds.

There are reasons for thinking that,
in the last analysis, the responsibility
for the postoffice department frauds
and graftings should be laid on the
shoulders Of congressman and polite
ians connected with the government.
Nor is either political party free from
blame. Members Of congress of both
parties have packed the departments
with their savorites and the barracies
that they could not otherwise detach
from themselves. Savanna News.
