Drs. e. d. and A. c. Brant weri

the injured men at the building, when
they were removed to the Aultman hos

that the injuries Of both Waltz and

there is hope Of their recovery.
No explanation can be given for the
falling of the scaffold. The timbers
were new and did not break. It is
thought that in some way the scaffold
tipped or slipped from the wall.
Just few moments before the scat
folding fell. little colored boy, aged
about six years, was on scaffold with
his father, Herb Groins, and fell a dis
tance of six or eight feet, cutting a
cash several inches long on the right
side of his head. 1t required IL stitches
to close the wound.

Great Crowd at Summit County Meeting,
Discussing State and National Issues.

alone! This, in his own language, is
the sum of the political wisdom and
craftsmanship in which Senator Hanna
has given counsel to the people of this
station and nation for several years, as
II, forsoOth, he thought the national
life OF this great people and the busi-
ness Of 1t would stand still, not move
at his command" said Clarke.
"The business Of the country has re-
fused to stand still at Mr.. Hanna's
command, but on the contrary, has
run riot In speculation such as was
never seen before. and now stands
upon what all men fear is the verge of
collapse, and capital and labor halt in
daily expectation of a panic--a fear in
which the president and secretary of
the treasury by their public speeches,
show that they distinctly share"
Mayor JOhnson's talk was short. In
fact, Clarke touched upon state issues
so thoroughly that the mayors field
was not very extensive. The mayor
announced, waving a telegram in the
air. that the city council of Cleveland
had passed an ordinance for 3-cent
street railway Monday evening. The
mayors speech was along the usual
line. In part as follows:
/ I'VE have In this campaign three
great questions to present to the people
of Ohio, These are the questions Of
home rule, equitable ttxation and the
destroying Of the unhply, II not cor

THAT when the people realize the ex,
istence of this conspiracy they will mo-
only resent it, but by their votes de-
stroy 1t. Such bargains and intrigue,
cannot stand exposure"
i He roasted Senator Hanna to a turn
saying: .
Senator Hanna Is standing for win
dication. He stands for vindication OF
that variety of municipal ownership

poses to pay into the pockets of Mr.
Hanna's friends from sl0.000.000 Il
