HOUSE CAN'T AGREE
UPON PARCHMENT
CASE AGAINST JUDGE SWAYNE
MAY COLLAPSE.

Articles Insists Upon Having
His Own Way.

Washington, Dec 27.-The special
committee of the house of representa-
tives to which was delegated the
power for the impeachment against
Judge Swayne of the Florida federal
court cannot agree on the articles and

formed the senate that it has impeach-
ed the judge and the senate has noti-
fed the house that it is ready to sit

WAS EXCUSE GIVEN BY WILLIAM

HORSE.

William Crody, arrested Monday for
stealing horse from in front of the
Canton hardware store on Saturday
evening which belonged to Hammond
Lappin, spent another night in the
city prison. When Crody faced Mayor
Smith yesterday morning he said that
he had taken too many drinks and did
not know what he was doing at the
time. The matter was handled ex-
tremely gentle by the mayor, no fine
being imposed upon the young fellow
He however will have to settle for the
costs of the case and pay $50 cash for
the damage done the buggy.
Crody expected to get his freedom
some time yesterday but for some
reason the settlement wasn't made al
the mayors Office as was agreed to be
done by the parents of the boy.

TROLLEY LINE DEAL
CANTON-AKRON SAID TO BE PART
OF A SYSTEM TO CROSS
THE STATE.

Talk of deal whereby an electric
line is to be constructed across the
state from Cleveland to Cincinnati is
again being heard.
1t will be remembered that few
years ago it was expected that the
deal would be consulnmated in a short
time, and that it would then be pos
sible to make the trip from Cleveland
to Cincinnati by trolley. Now the
talk is again being heard, and accord
ing to the plans as outlined, the Can
ton-Akron line and the A., b. & C. line
will be used as part of the proposed
long distance trolley road.
There are also negotiations on, it is
said, that have been under way for
some time with the Appleyard syn,
dicate for all of their property in
the state of Ohio. This matter has
been for year or more under ne
gotiations as part of the plan to con-
meet Cincinnati and Cleveland The
recent failure Of the German bank of
Buffalo. in which Apployard had about
100000 of paper, led to complications
in that direction which have hasten.
ed the negotiations that were on be-
tween the Weidener and Elkins peo-
pie and the Appleyard and there is q
feeling among the parties interested
that the Ohio property will soon fall
to the possession of the Philadelphia
people.
This line to Cleveland over the Ap
pleyard property is to be effected as
now designed by acquiring the lines
from Springfield to Columbus, to
GAINESVILLE, to Coshocton, to New Phil
adelphia to Canton, and thence to
Cleveland.

BRAVE CAPTAIN
kEFuSEs ALL OFFERS OF HELP
M AND STICKS TO HIS
SHIP

New York, Dec. 27-Refusing all
offers to be taken from the steamer
Drumelzier, Captain Nicholson and his
crew ere sticking to the big tramp ship
which went aground off Fire Island on
Sunday, and 1t is the captains evident
Intention to stay with the vessel until
she is pounded TO pieces. The life
saving crews have proffered assistance
but it has been. declined and the four
tugs sent out by the Merritt Chapman
Wrecking company, have broken over
a dozen hawsers in trying to extricate
the steamer from her perilous position.
Owing to the dense fog and the heavy
seas which now surround the steamer
1t is impossible for the life savers to
fire line over to the vessel by which
a breeches buoy could be rugged.
All sight of the Drumelzier is lost
from the shore but men who have
spent their lives on the coast say that
II the present high seas continue the
vessel will go to pieces before morn
ing. They say 1t is wonder she has
lasted so long.
The Drumelzier has been a tramp
steamer of 1880 tons burden and car.
ries a cargo of general merchandise on
her upper decks and steel ingots In
the hold. This steel makes the steam
er's position precarious as it is in
danger of shifting at any moment and
staving in the side. Captain Nichol-
son cleared from Baltimore on De-
cember l6 for New York and on Satur-
day afternoon he left New York fol
Havre and other European ports. He
was held up In the lower bay by the
fog but on Sunday morning lie tried to
work out and it is supposed that he
lost his bearings in the heavy snow.

ACCIDENT CAUSED
BY THE WEATHER
NO LIVES LOST, BUT PEOPLE
WERE IN PANIC.
Denae Fog at New York Responsible
Fer Two Collisions in the
North River.

New York. Dec. 27.--Two collisions
on the North river today were due to
dense fog which has hung over the
city like a pail ever since early
morning. In neither case however,
were any lives lost although small
panics were created in each instance.
The first accident was when the
ferryboat Chicago of the Pennsylvania
line, carrying crowd of commuters
was crashed into by the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroads s
steamer transport Maryland The
= crash occurred outside of the Cortlaudt
street slip but the Chicago made the
landing without assistance. The
Maryland tore away a large part of
the decking over the stern of the Chi
cago and 20 feet of the guard rail.
Calmer ones among the passengers
soothed the panic stricken men and
women and although several women
tainted. no one was hurt.
During the afternoon the ferryboats
Bergen and Musconetcong of the Del
aware, Lackawana G. Western fleet,
collided near the Hoboken slip and
for time there was wild panic on
both vessels. A confusion of fog whis-
ties caused the accident The Bergen
struck the Musconetcong on the star
board side just abaft the paddle box,
sliding down the guard rail to the
stern platform. 1t lifted the big side
wheeler high out of the water. The
shock was severe enough to throw
twenty of the passengers off their
feet, but save for a short lived fright
there was no one injured.
The boats were both considerably
damaged in the upper structures. The
Bergen lost much of her decking and
the Musconetcong had the beams in
the mems cabin badly strained.
In Manhattan the rain and sleet has
greatly impeded traffic and telephone
and telegraph communications with
outside points has been hindered and
In some cases cut off altogether.
