new RULING
OnP Pennsy May be Issued
Requiring Draymen
to Get Annual
RENEWAL ORDERS

II is stated that the Pennsylvania
railroad is about to enact new rul-
ing in the freight department requir-
ing all draymen to have an annual
renewal of orders from all customers
for the procuring and delivering OF
drayage from the freight house. 1t is
said that the issuance of such rul-
ing has been contemplated for some
time, and 1t seems likely that 1t will
be put into effect soon.
Incidentally, such a requirement, II
established in the Canton freight
house, will undoubtedly cause consid-
erable friction between the railroad
company and the local drayman. The
latter declare that such a ruling would
be nuisance, and would mean to them
a considerable loss of time and money.
At the present, when calling for a
consignment, draynen present an or
der from the person to whom the goods
is to be delivered. Many of the larg-
err business houses of the city keep a
number of draymen constantly at their
service, and orders from such firms are
regarded as perpetual. This sort OF a
ruling has been in force at all of the
local freight houses for number OF
years. At the Wheeling & Lake Erie
freight house, ruling to the same
effect was proposed, but on account OF
the objections raised by the draymen,
II was decided not to put 1t into force.
On the Baltimore & Ohio, 1t was stated
no change from the old method is
contemplated.
w. H. Rowe, the local freight agent
Of the Pennsylvania railroad, said yes
terday afternoon: II am uncertain as
10 whether such ruling will be put into
force. | am awaiting word from the
general Offices, from which place such
an order would have to come. If 1t is
ever put into effect, 1t will undoubt-
edIy be made general in all Canton
freight Offices"
The draynsen contend that the an
nual renewal of an order would be q
very unhandy arrangement. Much
time would be consumed, and much
dificulty encountered in going about
each year and having new orders made
out. One draymsn declared that fuI'
two weeks would be consumed by some
OF the larger delivering companies In
this manner.
Many of them are not backward IN
declaring that they will refuse to sub

ing, and tie-np Of freight trafie may

CLOSING ORDINANCE
AGAIN S|DETRACKED
For Week Council Remains Divided on Clos
ing Hour-Gas Question Seems Dead Issue
Appropriation Ordinance Passed.

Saloonists need not worry over the
passage Of the midnight closing ordi-
nance--for at least another week
for the members of~the city council
seem to have SHE'D again and did not
take the measure up Monday night
in the regular session. They did take
II UP, however, in their caucus room,
but finding that It lacked sufficient
votes to make It become law 1t was
again sidetracked. This was for one
more week, as the members desired
to be enlightened further before cast
ing their votes. 1t is understood that
some of the members of the council,
probably four, are in favor of passing
the ordinance Just as 1t is, closing the
saloons at IL, while others want the
time fixed at 1890. Then, there are
others still who do not care very
much to have an ordinance of any sort
believing that the saloonists will reg
ulate this themselves, if they are Civ
en- an opportunity to do so.
Natural gas, which held full sway
in the council few weeks ago, in
stead of being the burning issue as
It was then, seems to be dead issue
meeting of the municipal lawmakers
about it. Some spectators were pres
ent with the expectation that some
thing about the gas question would
materialize at this time, but the ST.
lence that followed was very pro-
nounced.
Probably the most important mat
ter to come up at this time was the
passage of the appropriation ordi-
nance, which was drawn by Solicitor
Blake, after Committeeman Folk, Will
liams and Aungst had spent several
nights in finding out how to properly
distribute the funds. The solicitor
was not present and the ordinance
was read by Clerk Lloyd. A notice
able feature about the ordinance is
that It does not provide for the en-
ployment of a city bacteriologist and
city chemist, as asked for by the
board of health, and 1t does not pro-
vide $1,000 for policing the Auditor
ium. 1t makes provision for the pur.
chase of one additional street fiusher
and sets aside $4,000 or more for the
paying of the street lights of the city.
while only a few years ago about
$2S,000 covered all the lights In q
year. When the clerk finished the
reading of the ordinance Folk moved
that the rules be suspended and the
ordinance be passed, but before this
was done it was discovered that So.
licitor Blake's stenographer had omit
tea portion of the figures. The gen.
eral fund of the board of public SER
vice was omitted entirely. The vote
had to be reconsidered and the cor
rections were made, after which the
ordinance was passed. lt
An abstract of the bond bids, re.
ceived Monday noon, was presented
by Auditor Ashbrook, showing that
Hayden, Miller & Co., of Cleveland
were the best bidders and that 6
premium of $1143 was offered by this
firm. The abstract was referred to
the finance committee and later in the
evening the bonds were awarded to
the Cleveland firm.

MOVE PLANT HERE
FROM CARROLLT0N;
EMPLOY 100 HANDS

Carrollton, o., Jan. AT a meeting
of the directors of the Ferguson Man
ufacturing company held at Canton on
Thursday 1t was decided to move the
plant from Carrollton to that city as
soon as suitable location could be Sc
cured. The company came to Carroll
ton about year ago and was giver
a bonus Of $4,000 and stock to the
amount of $4,000 was taken by Car
rollton citizens as security for the
loan of that amount of money. The
company has prospered and wishing tt
enlarge the business could not secure
the needed capital in Carrollton. Sev
eral of the largest stockholders are
citizens of Canton and the needed cap
ital has been secured in that city
The company has increased the capital
stock to $4,000. The products of the
company are along the novelty toy line
among which their toy engine and au'
tomobiles are the best productions
The plant employed about twenty peo'
pie which will be increased to 100 af'
ter the enlargement of the plant.

Bouquets were profusely distributed
It last nights meeting of the board
If education. In fact, ]. H. Lehman,
the reelected president of the board,
was almost swamped with the shower
of compliments, hurled at him from
every angle. Mr.. Lehman, it seemed,
had to bear the brunt of the deluge
of rosy ones to which none of the
members of the board were stinted in
contributing. The meeting despite
the flow of wit which permeated the
chamber, resulted in the transaction
of a fair amount of business, after
which occurred the annual election of
the president and the appointment of
the standing committees for the COM
ing year.
After disposing of number of rou-
tine matters, the board voted for ad-
journment, and President Lehman va
Gated the chair, temporarily. John
Niederhauser was Immediately ap-
pointed president pro tenn, and calling
the meeting to order, Mr.. Lehman was
formally reelected. Mr.. Niederhau-
ser gracefully presented the re-elect-
ed president with the gavel, and Mr..
Lehman took the chair for the fifth
successive year.
It was then that the compliments
flowed. Dr. March was the first to
take a whack. 1t was noticed that
President Lehman had his head bound
up with white bandage, indicating
that he had been in some way injured
DR.. March remarked upon this, say.
ing: Our president has so improved
during the past year, that he now sits
before us with a halo about his head.
am wondering if by the end of the
year, he will have begun to develop
wings, and acquire a harp and Tyre
He concluded by saying other nice
| things about the commendable man
ner in which Mr. Lehman had handled
| the gavel during the year.
| Not to be outdcne, Mr.. Wise arose
and exhibiting appreciable thoughtful
ness for the press, he said: 81 wish
to inform you reporters, that the in
juries which Mr. Lehman has sustain
ed, were not received during the eau

He made this statement, he said
merely to prevent any wrong impres
sion going out through the press.
The rest of the members, individ
ually thanked the president for his
services during the year, and then the
board, collectively, rendered him {
vote of thanks. Mr.. Lehman then ex
planned that the wound had been caus

painful, was not serious one.

SEARCHING FOR AN
ITALIAN SW|NOLER

Salem, O., Jan. 1.-Two Italian
fruit dealers of Cincinnati, giving their
names as August Durando and Mike
Bodino, were in this city this even
ing looking for an Italian swindler,
who, they say, got away with fat
sum of their money.
The two Italians conduct a fruit
stand in the suburb of Cincinnati at
which stand they claim an Italian
named Dominica Costelli came a few
days ago and protesting to be friends
of the Italians families in Messina,
sought aid for the earthquake-stric
people, whom he said he had received
word from since the quake The fruit
vendors received the good news with
gratitude and opened wide their pock-
etbooks.
Later in the day Costelli was report
ed to have worked the same scheme
on other Italians in Cincinnati and
becoming suspicious, Bodino and Du-
rando set out to find their alleged
friend. They learned that he had left
for Columbus and Immediately started
In pursuit. They traced him ON to
Canton, arriving there this morning.
After searching the city all day they
learned through a brother of Bodino
who resides in Canton, that Costello
had attempted to work the FRIEND
scheme there but falling had gone on
to Salem.
The men arrived here on the Z
o'clock car in state of excitement and
swearing vengeance on their alleged
friend. They showed a determination
to find him If 1t is at all possible, but
as nothing has been heard of him here
they think they have been shifted onto
the wrong trail.
