INVESTIGATION OF THE CAMPBELL, ECK CO. CONTRACT ORDERED. The report of Water Works Trustees was taken up, read and accepted. The Board of Water Works Trustees suggested an investigation of the contract entered into with Campbell, Eck in 1875, for relaying the and filling the ditch on the Lake sec section of Water, Works. On motion of Mr.

Lantz, Messrs. Barlet, Rohrer and City Solicitor Welty were appointed said committee. The following communication was received from H. Cock, City Civil Engineer in 1875 March 25th 1878. To the City Council, Canton, Ohio.

seen the fact advertised in the public press of this city that your honorable body have in contemplation the investigation of a certain matter contained in the late report of the water works trustees, and my name having been conspicuously used in connection with the matter in question, I hereby express my full and hearty concurrence in the contemplated gation. It is not only your privilege but your du ty, to satisfy yourselves as to the correctness of all such matters involving the expenditure of the public money, and I shall take pleasure in meeting with any committee you may choose. aud give all the information in my power, relative to the matter in question. I have in my possession all my original notes and memorandums, and feel assured that I can fully satisfy you on all points in relation to the matter. I will only add that the earliest day you can name for such examination, will be the most satisfactory to me.

Respectfully, H. COCK. petition for the opening of 5th street westward, was referred. Mr. Lantz suggested a shed for city wagon and Street Commissioner's matters, referred.

A gasoline lamp asked for on Washington avenue at Shriver's run was referred. The walks between Young and Mahoning streets, and new building encroaching on Mahoning street were referred. Raports. -Mr. Herbruck from committee on Streets and Alleys, adverse to allowing ground to be taken from Ninth street, -favorable to plank walk on Piedmont street and crossing on 5th, have contracted for 40,000 feet of oak plank-all adopted -favorable to bridge and grading on Spring street, not agreed to.

City Solicitor ordered to draft bill to establish grade on portions of Spring street, 7th street, Mar ket Square, North Walnut and 5th streets. Mr. Monnot from Gas Committee reported in favor of putting gas light on West Tuscarawas; lamp at corner of Seventh and Court streets. Adopted. The following report of Mayor Shimp was then read and adopted: MAYOR'S OFFICE, March 21st, 1878.

To the Honorable Council of the City of Canton. submitting the written report of the Mayor's record for fines, licenses, poundage, and statements of disbursements during the period between April 17, 1877, and March 21, 1878, inclusive as a final statement of my administration as Mayor of the city of Canton for the past year, I beg leave to say, that there remains a few cases which have not as yet been disposed of. That the number of cases embraced in this statement does not include such matters as are disposed of in summary manner (for instance, where persons were arraigned and released or released by paying costs) but is complete enough, in my judgment, to bring the statement within the meaning of the law. I take great pleasure in stating that our citizens ought to be proud of their police force; of the very good order noticed by our citizens and strangers, in our limits, and of the fact that crime has been lessened very noticeably, within the last year. Yours Respectfully, JOHN SHIMP, Mayor.

at his residence in Adel, Iowa, on the 10th Dr. Barack Michener, a well known early citizen of Canton, aged 78 years and 3 months. Dr. Michener came to Stark county in 1817, and taught a school in Perry township. In 1824 he came to Canton, and opened a school in what was then known as the Academy, located on the lot now occupied by the High School.

Many of his pupils are still living in Canton, who cherish a lively and pleasant recollection of his peculiarities. He was regarded a good scholar and a successful teacher. About 1830 he commenced the practice (of medicine in Massillon having studied with Dr. Gardner while yet teaching. When the cholera first made its appearance in this section of the country, residents along the Ohio Canal and the townships west, were terribly scourged.

Dr. M. was more successful than any of the physicians in its treatment; and so unremittingly was he besieged for help, that for weeks he never took off his clothes, but sustained himself like Napoleon by taking occasional snatches of sleep while on duty. He was always a popular physician, and will be held in grateful remembrance. He was considerable of a writer, and was a frequent contributor of the STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT in its early days.

Inan article in the Chicago Tribune. announcing his death, it says: "He was a good citizen, respected for his intellectual parts and for his uprightness and benevolence. He stood among the first of his profession as a physician, and second to none in in the community." L. S. TRUMBULL COUNTY- -Has sued ex-Auditor Geo, B.

Kennedy and sureties of that county for the recovery of $1,563.28 with interest from Nov. 11th, 1877, on the first cause of action; and also $1,000 being fraudulent charges for pretended official services under the school law; and on the third cause of action for the recovery of $1,520.00, being money got from the county on a fraudulent order drawn in favor of M. L. Kennedy, father of the defendant, on the pretense said order was for of. ficial services as Auditor, There are four other causes of action, making 7 in all, and the frauds sum up $5,731.28.

Of course defendant was a Republican official, none other being possible in that stronghold. THE Last Tuesday night was the first real thunder storm of the season. It appeared as though there was a regular old-fashioned "log rolling" going on somewhere. But that was only a reminder for us to examine our lightning rods and if they need repairing to get them fixed, or old ones replaced by calling on H. Wernet this city, and leave your order for the "Star Galvanized Rod." They are prepared to erect lightning rods at "rock bottom prices.

Common sense and experience say no! DOOLEY'S YEAST POWDER, which has been well known for twenty years as an absolutely pure, wholesome, and in every respect, reliable artiole, is within the reach of all those who practise true economy in this respect. The city council of Akron has been enjoined from attempting to carry out the provisions of the ordinance reducing the price of gas. This prevents further action until the May term of court, and the gas company has gained several months' time in which to collect bills at the old price, Gas will be the chief, and in fact the only issue at the coming election.

CANTON CITY WATER WORKS. Full Report of the Trustees from January 1, 1876, to March 1, 1878. To the Honorable City Council: -The undersigned respectfully submit the accompanying report of the receipts and expenditures of the Canton City Water Works from January 1, 1876, to March 1, 1878. Our ordinary running expenses you will observe are less per year than they have been for some years back. But owing to the very imperfect manner in which the greater portion of the works were originally constructed, it becomes absolutely necessary to expend the entire revenue of the works, together with the appropriations made at different times by your Honorable body, to keep the Canton City Water Works up to the standard promised by the founders.

Among the many instances where it has become necessary to use money for purposes other than those coming under the head of ordinary running expenses, we give you the following for the purpose of disposing of a very filthy stream of water that ever since the construction of the Water Works has emptied into our water supply, we were obliged to construct a brick sewer, 232 feet in length, through under the race. Said sewer is well built with good, substantial stone walls at each end and large enough to carry off all the objectionable filthy water that has heretofore polluted our water supplies; it was attended with considerable pense, but we think it worth all it cost. The "blow off" situated in the race embankmnet at the lowest point, for the purpose of drawing off the race when necessary, and originally construeted in such a flimsy manner, that we were unable to use it, has been torn out and replaced by a good well-built arrangement that is useful and safe. After filling the gap made in the race embankment by the washout last Spring, we had the entire bed of the race thoroughly cleaned, strengthened the race embankment at all weak points, placed new head gates at the dam and new substantial shut-off gates near the wheel-house-repaired foundation wall to wheel-house, inlet pipe screen, wheel slips, The floor upon which rests the rotary pumps and machinery becoming so rotten as to be dangerous, was removed and a new hard-wood floor, supported by strong wrought iron beams put in, making the floor perfectly safe and lasting. To avoid trespassing upon land adjoining the water work's property the drive leading from the main road to the wheel house has been changed somewhat, and at some considerable expense.

A new waste wier has been constructed in the race embankment near the wheel house, of solid masonry, useful to relieve the race in times of high water: it is at the point where it is under the eye of the engineer, at the wheel house, and is everlasting. For the purpose of obtaining a passage way for the waste water to the tail race below, we were obliged to purchase about one third of an acre of land at corner lot price. Eight hundred and fifty feet of 6 inch iron pipe has been laid and one hydrant been set on North Plumb street extention. In consequence of the grading and paving of Market and Tuscarawas streets, we were obliged to re-lay considerable pipe and reset hydrants and stop boxes; the small stop boxes throughout the city constructed of wood have decayed and been replaced with new ones. In the past two years we have had considerable trouble with one of the rotary pumps, the last break down compelling us to purchase almost an entire new pump.

Messrs. Camp, Cook to whom WAS aWarded the Lake section pipe some two years ago, after several unsuccessful attempts and no small amount of hard work, have succeeded in getting the pipe in pretty good condition, but still not in condition to accept. Experience has demonstrated the fact that Myer's Lake cannot be depended upon for but a small portion of the water needed to supply the city, but being a natural reservoir is worth considerable as a reserve to be used in any emergency such as break of machinery or dam. Thus far we have had no trouble with the iron pipe that has been laid, while it is shown that the cement lined pipe has burst 66 times in two years, costing an average of 810 each break, to say nothing of annoyance to consumers by depriving them of water while repairing, and furthermore an adequate fire pressure cannot be sustained without bursting the mains. There is at present about five miles of cement lined pipe (4 and 6 inch) in use and in view of the fact that iron pipe is as cheap as it can reasonably be expected to become we feel justified in saying that iron pipe should take the place of the worthless pipe we now depend upon.

The first cost of providing reliable and efficient means for controlling and extinguishing fires should be esteemed a secondary consideration, seeing that the existence of such means will, in almost every case, more than repay the original cost. The right way, perhaps, to reconcile the cost of providing adequate fire protection, would be to look at the damage done by a terrible fire in a case where means had not been provided for extinguishing it, and then feel that had means beeu provided all that loss might have been prevented. We also respectfully call your attention to the capacity of our pumping machinery now In use The pumps are run by steam and water power and of late the steam pump has been doing the principal part of the work and of the opinion must continue to be the main dependence; we get along very well in ordinary times, but in case of fire are compelled to use every pump we have and that too up to its full capacity; and machinery running at a very high speed, you are aware, is very liable to break down and leave us in a poor condition to battle with a fire of any consequence. We respectfully recommend that our pumping capacity be increased to at least double the present capacity, aud have gone to considerable ble and some expense to enlighten ourselves on the subject of pumps for water works, that we night be better judges should you deem it sary to purchase new pumps. A copy of the report of our investigating mittee we herewith submit to your consideration The following is a Statement of Receipts and Expenditures.

To the many friends of the several churches of Waynesburgh, who visited the M. E. Parsonage on the 21st inst.

and gave us a social and tial entertainment, we hereby express our thanks for the gifts, and our appreciation of the ship shown, F. J. and C. SWANEY. Excursion rates to Ellis, Kansas, and return from Canton have been reduced to twent dollars and ninety-five cents, To Grand Island, Nebraska and return, $41,90, To Ida, Iowa, and return, $33.20, FREEBURG.

What grand weather we had a days back, quite inviting to the "little bird with bosom red," but the western snow storm suddenly lowered the mercury to freezing, garden making stopped, and the country frogs refused to sing their songs of melody, Joseph Maudru is going to build a brick house the coming summer; we look for a nice one, as Jo. is enterprising, a man of good taste, and has the means. Joseph Yoder is erecting a barn, which will be just about right, as that is his style. Henry Potter has sold one of his farms to David Wymer, and made sale of most of his loose property, so as to retire from labor, that he may recruit failing health; that is right, brother Potter, good health is more to be desired than gold or silver. We are always glad to have as good citizene as Mr.

Wymer settle in our township. Death is in our midst, Emanuel Davis being 8 victim, having died after a short illness. Mrs. Eli Powell sleeps the sleep that knows no waking, after suffering near four weeks, and was interred in the Salem Church yard. She had been at her brother's near Harrisburg, a Mr.

Frederick, taking care of her daughter, who had the pox, Soon after her return home she sickened and died. The family have the sympathies of the entire community in this hour of their bereavement. Such is life. Washington township presents some rather teresting features geographically, Fogle's Run rises east of the centre, and flows south through the beautiful valley in the eastern part of Paris township, and empties into the Sandy at Oneida, in Carroll county. Black Stream rises west of the centre, and flows south through the valley in the western part of Paris township, through Osnaburg township, and empties into the Sandy at Waynesburg.

The Nimishillen rises in the western part and flows west. Beech Creek rises north of the centre, and flows a northerly course and empties into the Mahoning River, with that into the Ohio, going almost around the township in which it rises. Thus we have four nice streams rising near the central part of the township, flowing in oppo site directions, and all getting into the Ohio River. This township was represented at the county fair last fall in the hog line, by George P. Lozer, who had the boss Chester White in the county, carrying off the first premium; he is certainly a splendid animal, and just such stock as every farmer should have.

Mr. Lozer, by his energy, has improved the breed of service in this section, completely routing the black species so generally kept some years back. Come and see Mr. monster hog, and others of smaller size, then you will get out ot the notion of raising Sharp shooters. BARKER.

MAYOR's Saturday the case of John Boerner charged with burglariously entering the house of Josiah Bolender on the night of the 14th was taken up, R. S. Shields, for prosecution, and T. C. Myer and W.

J. Piero for defence. The following is a portion of the testimony: The first witness for the prosecution was Josiah Bolender. Reside in 4th ward. A little after eleven o'clock in the eyening of the 14th of March my wife waked me and said she heard a noise about the house.

Thought I heard a whistle and looked out of the up stairs window but saw no one staid up 5 or 10 minutes. About 10 minutes after 12 heard noise as though some one was opening window; wife and I both got up and taking lamp and hatchet went into front room, nothing there, went down stairs and wife threw open door to parlor and said, "My God, there's a man with a revolver in his hand didn't know the man; jumped on him aud struck him on the head with flat of hatchet telling him to lay still and put up revolver. Man struggled, but finally threw him down and he said "My God, don't kill me." Said he was Boerner's son and had taken morphine to have 8 tooth drawn. Policeman came; told him to be careful he had a revolver policeman said, "I know that, he's been swinging it around up On cross examination said did not miss any. thing, no damage was done except breaking of window where defendant climbed in.

Mrs. Bolender's testimony was substantially the same. Officer Eddeman said helped to make arrest, defendant's revolver contained four empty and three loaded chambers. On defence Dr. Douds testified to having tracted a tooth for defendant on the evening of the 14th.

Dr. Brant said defendant was brought to his of. fice by policeman about 1 o'clock badly cut up. Menias Bolender said he saw Boerner at his brother's house on the night of the 14th Boerner told him he had been at Lippert's that some one had coaxed him along and put him through the window. Florin Rose -Was returning from a dance on the night of the 14th, heard noise and saw light at Bolender's, went over, saw defendant there who told me "didn't know how he came there," said something about chloroform.

Miss Lippert said -Defendant had been at their house about nine o'clock, acted very strange, smelt some drug, staid five or ten minutes and went away. Court then adjourned until Monday afternoon, when after the case was argued his honor the Mayor held defendant in the sum of $500 to appear before the Common Pleas Court, which was promptly furnished.

MR. BAILEY'S LECTURES ON CHINA AND THE interesting and valuable. He lectured four evenings, Thursday in the English Lutheran Church, Friday in the First M. E. and Saturday and Sunday in the Presbyterian, On the last evening the audience room was full and well packed, the English Lutheran having no service and attending to hear Mr.

Bailey. We attended every evening and enjoyed them much. Mr. Bailey was born in England, but was taken to China when seven years old, and being well cated is quite familiar with the history, customs, habits, religion, laws, of that most curious and remarkable people. The lecturer's frequent witty or humorous hits as he proceeded are refreshing and telling.

We learn Mr. Bailey may return in two or three weeks and deliver two or three lectures on other topics connected with China and the Chinese. He exhibits a large variety of Chinese articles of workmanship, including two or three of their gods. The arithmetical machine is ahead of anything of the kind we have ever witnessed and easily understood, and Mr. Bailey is very expert in performing operations on it.

Should Mr. Bailey return to Canton we shall announce his lectures in good time in the DEMOCRAT, and we advise all that can to hear him. ......700 10 FROM APPRECIATIVE FRIENDS. Editor Democrat: Enclosed please find $1.00 for the DEMOCRAT for six months. NEIL McLEAN, March 25, 1878.
