AKRON'S CENSUS OF 1882. THE FIRST SEWER PIPE. JOHN BROWN'S 2D SON. CHICAGO AS IT IS. glad to see the course you are taking in regard to the liquor question, also to see what the people of Ohio are doing for the same.

1 hopd you will succeed in beheading the monster. You will sec that the people of our State, are getting pretty well waked up on that sul-ject. We are striking for Prohibition, and 1 think we will letch it sine. I am anxious to live to see theday that I can vote on the amendment. Yours truly, 1.

He left withou1; a dollar in the house or food to eat; left us without anything, my children and mysel! without one word of explanation, and 1 have not seen him since, nor do I know where he is. Little did the people wh saw mo by bis side looking happy and gay know of the horrible weight at my heart.

I wore my mask effectively, but now it's all over." "15ut he may return, Mrs. "I do not want him to. He left ine in a most heartless manner, and 1 never want tosee him again. Oh, this is too terrible, but I never want to see him again. I've been a true wife to him ever since the day wo were married, and ho cannot deny it.

I'll be a true mother to my child-dren, too. I'll work my lingers bare for them, willingly, but 1 want them myself. I don't want him to have them. They are all I have now to love in n. They, too, never want to see their father again, after last night's work." Miss Maud, the eldest daughter, was seated on the side of the bed, holding her mother's hand, and as the bereaved woman closed the last statement, the reporter turned and asked her: "Is this true.

Miss Maud "Yes sir," she replied. "I never want to see father again; ho has treated us all shamefully," and she broke into tears, weeping hysterically. Then little Meta exclaimed in reply to a question from her mother, "No, I don't want to see papa again." IS IT BLACKMAILING? Roman nose." As we left the room, Dr. Collett remarked to Mr. Brown, "I don't see any reason to doubt the authenticity of these remains, and I believe them to be those of your brother, Watson Brown." The Jnnnuil also contains affidavits from Dr.

Johnson.giving an account of the manner in which he came in possession of the body (above outlined); from Lieut. F. D. Rundell, of Co. E.

27th Indiana Volunteers, and from various prominent citizens of Martinsville, going to substantiate the story. It appears that the citizensof Winchester made a strenuous effort to regain possession of the body, repeatedly" asserting that it was that of one of John Brown's sons. Dr. Johnson, however.in-sisted on carrying it to free soil. John Brown, writes to the Chicago that he is positive that the remains are those of his brother Watson.

The following pointed passage occurred in Capt. McClure's speech iu the Eighteenth Ward, Cleveland, Friday evening: "1 understand that my opponent has come out in favor of the protective tariif. but nevertheless by his vote lie has identified himself with the fr. trade heresy of his party. Now that be has become a convert to Republican doctrine, 1 simply desire to confront him with a record of his party on this question, and ask him what he pr-poses to do as a Democrat.

I want to know whether he proposes to oppose the cardinal doctrine of bis party, or bow to its mandates and support them by his votes in the future as he has in the past. "If there is an Irishman in the house I want to ask him how it is that he can vote for a party which proposes it it can secure power, to open up the markets of this country to English manufacturers and crush out American industry with English cheap labor.v The enemy of his own land he knows the history of its domination too well."

The Beacon has heretofore briefly referred to the i lentifcation, by John Brown, of a skel'ton at as that of old John Brown's second son, Watson Brown.

A Martins ville special to the Indianapolis Journal gives the following interesting particulars: John Brown, went to Martinsville yesterday to investigate the question of the reported skeleton of one of his brothers at that place. Dr. J. J. Johnson, in whose possession the body is, was not at home, and consequently Mr.

Brown remained there awaiting his return. Interviews were had with other parties, however, which satisfied Mr. Brown that the, body was that of his brother Oliver, and not Watson, as hi had at lint supposed. When he asked to see the skeleton it was not immediately forthcoming, the fact transpiring that f. some months p.tst it has been iu the hall of lodge of Knights of Pythias.

For many years Dr. Johns kept it in his olline, and it was in a g.io.l state of preservation, but somewhat rough handling has ruined it, and it presents a decidedly sorry appearance. Dr. Johnson as already given his word that if Mr. Brown is satisfied of the identity of the skele ton lie will give if up cheei iuffv, and so to-mo.

row, it is probable, the remains will be transferred to the custody ot the fani'ly. and be taken for burial to North Elba. X. to lie placed alongside of his father's grave. The marks on the bones show that the bullet had passed through the stomach, and this coincides with the account the family received of hi death.

Two well-known citizens who were members of Dr. Johnson's regiment, made affidavits substantiating statements made by fhe gen-tliiiutii regarding the manner in the remains came into his possession, and from this evidence and the examination made, Mr. Brown is convinced they are those of. his brother Watson. The few facts that the family have obtained concerning his deatli accord almost exactly with the statements sworn to.

Mr. Brown was much affected when brought into the room where the skeleton was, and for sonmtime could not control his feelings. At lirst he thought the height and general contour of the remains resembled his brother Oliver, but a closer examination convinced him that it was his elder brother Watson. On his arrival iu Indianapolis, Mr. Urown called upon Gov.

Porter who gave him every assurance of the perfect integrity of Dr. Johnson, and as the latter states explicitly that he would, under no circumstances, accept money from the family for the body, it is evident that he has no ulterior motive in telling this story. A few days ago, when the widow ofOssawattomie was in Chicago, Dr. Johnson, learning of her presence there, wrote a communication to the Chic igo Tribune claiming to have in his possession tho body ol Owen Brown, one of the sons, and explaining briefly how he became possessed of it. His story was substantially as follows: He was the surgeon of the Twenty-seventy Indiana Volunteers, and his regiment was in the advance iu the inarch into Virginia.

On arriving at Winchester the Medical College was seized and placed in Dr. Johnson's charge. He found among other things therein contained, a specimen very carefully preserved, and being struck with the rather remarkable physique of the body, sought and obtained" General Bank's permission to embalm and preserve it. He accordingly did so.in a very careful manner, injecting the blood vessels and preparing the uscles so as to render them impervious to decay. The body was sent two months later to Dr.

Johnson's home at Martinsville. Immediately after it had been thus disposed of the officers of the hospital, who had previously employed every argument to induce Dr. Johnson to leave the body with them, told him it was that of one of the two sons of John Brown who were killed at the Ferry. They give him a full history of the case and how they had obtained the body. Several army surgeons offered Johnson large sums fo-r the specimen, but he as steadily refused to part with it until, us he says, he learned of the whereabouts of Mrs.

Brown, and concluded to return to her the body of her son. The Chicago Trlhum did not publish the communication at the request of H. A. Parker, of Chicago, with whom Mrs. Brown was stopping, and who feared the result of the shock to her nervous system which such a tory would produce in her enfeebled condition.

They, however, notified John Brown, who resides at Put-in Pay, of the receipt of the letter, and he immediately placed himself in communication with Dr. Johnson. Mr. John Brown, it appears, made very careful investigation as to the authenticity of the remains before he accepted it as a fact that they were really those of his brother. From a long letter in the Indianapolis Jou rmil the following is taken concerning the investigation made by Dr.

Collett, the State Geologist, probably the highest anatomical authority in the West: About 10 o'clock this morning Prof. Collett and Mr. Brown, accompanied by Drs. Blackstone, Robinson and Johnson, and your reporter, visited Dr. Johnson's residence.

Dr. Collett proceeded to make a minute examination of tho remains. In regard to the teeth he said: "I see that some of the teeth have been broken out, but that has been done since death. Up to the time of his death, I judge, his teeth were perfect, and that he never had one extracted." "That is true," said Mr. Brown.

Mr. Collett then said that from the development of the skull he judged this person to have been strongly developed in the perceptive faculties; that he had many of the sturdy qualities and strongly developed points attributed to old John Brown; that he evidently had much of the high pride and benevolence which makes men martyrs; that the physiognomy indicated that be acted not from conclusions drawn from reasoning from cause to effect, but from impulse and his own sense of what was right and just. The Professor then called attention to the pw-uliarlj-formed nore. "That nose," said he, "is not a Saxon, but a Norman nose, and it is a peculiar feature of the Brown family." Mr. Brown having by this time become fully confirmed in the belief that this is the body of one of his brothers, was very anxious to ascertain Dr.

Uol- lett's opinion as to which it is Watson or Oliver. He him self was convinced that it was that of Watson, and felt that he would feel certain of it should Dr. Col lett agree with him. Accordingly, photographs of tho two brothers, taken shortly before their tragic deaths, were given to the Professor. Without any information as to which Mr.

Brown had decided upon, after a few minutes' careful scrutiny of both photograph and skeleton, he pronounced the remains to be those of Watson Brown. Professi Collett then made careful measurement of the skeleton, from which measurement lie concluded that Watson Brown, when living, was full feet 1 inches tall. "That was about his height," said Mr. Brown: "I remember, when he used to talk to me, he would look down into my eyes." Returning to the subject of the nose, Mr. Collett remarked, "There is hardly another fam ily in the world which has this peculiar OUR POPULATION, AS TAKEN BY SCHOOL ENUMERATORS, FOOTS UP OVER 20,000.

From Friday's Puily IVac Messrs. Cornelius Johnston, Joseph Mjore, and David Dressier, who were appointed by F. M. Atterholt. Secretary of lire Board of Edue.i-t'on, to take the enumeration of school youth within the city, have completed their task, Mr.

Moore finishing his work last evening. The compilation has not been completed and the oilicial figures "'will not. be ready until to-morrow. The enumerators, in taking the number of school children, also, under Mr. Alter-holf's instruction, took the census of the city, which is given below in comparison with the census taken by the I'nited States in 1880, showing also the gain iu two years: Wards.

This does not include Buchtel College, which would swell the amount about" 200 more. Then there are fully 2,000 persons living just outside the city limits, so that Akron's population, wiih its suburbs, is fully 22,0110. The above ligures are as accurate as possible to obtain, for the enumerators are experienced in the work, and if anything the population may lie a little" more than the ligures show. The enumeration and census were taken for 10 less than were paid the enumerators last year. A BEGGAR WITH $800.

A III! EST OF A DESPICABLE AND MUCII-PUMMELED CIIAlt-ACTEil LAST NIGHT. From Saturday's Daily Teacon. For some time past several parties residing in the northern part of the city have complained that someone lias at different times attempted to enter houses when the ladies were alone, and also that this same rascal has been discovered peeping into various bedroom windows. The officers have been on the alert for this person for some time, but have been unsuccessful iu capturing him until last evening. A short time ago this individual secreted himself in some bushes by the side of the walk leading to a house near Main stree, and when the lady of the domicile was passing along the walk the rascal caught hold ot one ot lier ankles.

She, however, succeeded in freeing herself from his grip and by her loud screams frightened the villain away. On Thursday evening a gentleman residing on North Main street, beard a noise at one of the doors ofhis house and sei.ing bis revolver prepared to shoot the scoundrel who had annoyed he entire neighborhood lor so long a time. This being the state of facts and the officers having been requested to watch the premises, Officer Buiiii and Merchants' Policeman Pike last evening set out to capture the rascal, whoever he might be. The man on whom suspicion in this matter rested was seen on Howard street about o'clock last evening. To test the matter Ollicer Biinn secreted himself near by where this strange man was said to have been committing his depredations, and Ollicer Pike shadowed the fellow on the streets.

The suspect went down Howard street to urnacc and thence to Main, and after tak ing a sly glance about him to see that the coast was clear, was about to enter a yard when Ollicer Bunn stepped up to him and said "Good evening." The stranger wilted completely and dropping his shoulders said "Whew!" While being taken to the city prison he said he could not understand why he was arrested. Before being placed in a cell the customary search for personal effects made and besides a large amount of dry bread crusts, which had been given him on the supposition of his being poor, there was found in his clothing $821.10 in money. This morning in Mayor's Court tho man answered to the inme'of David Gilbert and pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for which offense he was lined 85 and costs. We Told You So. Kent Fu'letlu.

Close Call for Omborn's Mill OriiEit Buildings Endangered. Correspondence ot The Beacon. Hudson, Sept. 14. This morning about a spark from the furnace of E.

A. Osborn Son's Mill found its way into some inflammable material at the left of the furnace and, the engineer being alisent, it gained quite a considerable headway before it was dis-civered. The alarm was given at nee and for a few minutes it seemed as if it would be impossible to save the mill, but hard and quick work won the victory over the 11 imes. As the linn manufacture pails, and there was a large cistern and tank accessible, materials for lighting the fire were very convenient. The lire brigade responded as quickly as possible, but tho lire was under control before the engine arrived.

Had the Osborn Mill been burned down, it would have been impossible to have saved the saw-mill of E. Croy, which is but a few feet distant, and judging from the direction of the wind other buildings would have borne it company. This mill has repeatedly caught lire, but Mr. Osborn says this is the closest call for him yet. The roof of the engine-room is completely charred and burned out.

No insurance is at present on the building, audit was through the carelessness of Abe engineer that the fire gained such a headway before it was discovered. II. G. Appreciates "The Beacon." To the Editor ot Tbk Bracon Rensselaek, Sept. 11.

Oa Wednesday, August 30, I left Grand llapids, on the 1:25 train, on the Detroit Mil waukee Railroad for Grand Haven, 23 miles distant. At the latter place I stopped for the afternoon to see my old friend and college classmate, A.

S. Kedzie, now editor and proprietor of the Grand Haven Herald, and one of the five surviving members of the eight graduates of tho class of W. R. and whom I had not seen for over 30 years.but unfortunately he was absent, however, saw, at the Doctor's residence in Grand Haven. Dr.

C. F. It. Biggs, formerly medical practitioner iu Akron and other points in Summit County for the last 12or 15 years a resident and practitioner in Grand HiVdn. Tl ii latter is the county seat oE Ottawa County and is a nice little town, of ab nit 5,003 inhabitants, cuddled down behind tho lofty hills of white sand that front the Lake at the mouth of Grand River, and is the homo of Senator Ferry, who had just arrived from Washington, and had been welcomed home by a publie ovation.

I saw mills and lumber goods extend continuously up the river for live or six miles from Gr ind Haven, and tho grou id is covered with the most ini-mense qu mtities of sawed lumber, of various kinds, in piles that 1 ever saw. Af. 8:15 th'i same evening 1 took passage in tho fine passenger steamer, Do Pere, for Chicag where I arrived, after a delightful run, on the following morning. At Chicago I remained for the next four days, and look in the principal hotels, business blocks, mammoth depots, and other places of interest. Among the rest I saw the spot on Do where commenced the great fire that destroyed so much of Chicago.

On the site now standi a neat two-story lions with a stone front, erected by and bfl-Kiging to the Chicago Historical Society, and having a marble tablet let into the face of the-lower story which states that "the building was erei ed by the Chicago. Historical Society on the spot where' commenced the great lire of October, 1871." A little to the northeast of this, on the bank of the South Branch ol" the Chicago River, is an immense stone glucose manufactory, covering an entire block, a ml towering up to the lofty height of 13 tall stories. Among the glories of Chicago is the wonderful perfection of its system for fire extinction, the necessity lor which it has learned by costly experience. At the firo alarm boxes keys have recently been dispensed with, so that any passer-by c.in open the door and turn' on an alarm. And not only are the appointments of the lire department, of the latest and most approved description, but the insurance companies have also formed a separate and most perfect organization and equipment for the saving of insured property.

The trained horses of this department are all let loose, the doors thrown open, by electricity as at tho Akron Central Engine House. A long wagon, with seats in it, aud provided with huge rubber spreads, stands ready, having in it also the clothes of the driver and his fellow workers. The driver sleeps on a low trap door, directly over Ins seat in the wagon, and the same electrical touch which releases the horses and opens tho doors also unfastens his trap door and lets him slide down into his seat, where are his clothes. The other men aro fixed equally convenient to bo placed in their part of the wagon. The horses spring to the pole, the doors lly open, the tugs are hitched, and away gallops the wagon, the driver and the men dressing themselves as they go.

Arrived at tho scene of the lire, if tho lire is found to be, say in the roof, and like to be put out without removing the goods, then the rubber covers are, hauled over the goods below to protect them from damage by water as well as by lire; but if the goods are to be consumed, then they are hustled out and removed to a place of safety, the covers hauled over, and a guard set over them. On Sunday, September 3, 1 heard Dr. Thomas, tlio celebrated divine, at Hooley's Theater. The ministers and teachers are just, returning from their Summer's morning the schools again open, with their over 50,000 pupils. The mighty tide of life in Chicago still swells mightier.

At the last census its enifneralion was about 503,030, exclusive of the suburbs, which numbers some (io.iCKlor to more, anil now the population of the city proper is estimated at As it is still extending its trade into the still extending regions beyond the city's growth still continues, and by the close of tins century, and perhaps considerably before, we m.iy look for it to embrace in all 1,000,000 people. Among the novelties of Chicago is a contrivance for propelling street cars without the aid of horses, a dummy, or any visible means of motion. Trains of two, three or four cars coupled together may thus be seen, moving up and down State street, going or stopping at will, the lirst one having a headlight, like that of a locomotive, attached in front. In the middle of the forward ear stands the man who answers to a driver and controls the movements of the train. This he does by moving a lever, which causes a grappling apparatus either to grapple hold or let go an -endless wire cable, which runs in agroove in the middle of the road wav, between the tracks, and is constantly drawn along by a stationary engine.

As this train cannot turn around on a turn-table, the track at each end leaves the street and goes with the cable around two or three blocks and comes down again on a return track rh.se by and parallel to the track on wl. -eh tho train went up. The wire cable keeps up its onward movement without ceasing, but the going and of the trains (of which there are many) is regulated by the grappling aivl braking apparatus in the hands of the (iri ver. When the train is to start, by his lever he grapples hold of the moving cable, but when ho wishes to stop he lets go and sets the brake. In the.

crowded portion of the street the train moves more slowly than beyond, which, 1 belive. is done by having two unjoining one moving slower than the other. J'AMMt EMUUSOX. Simon Wolf's Pbaisk i-ou Fiieshy-teuiaxs. lion.

Simon Wolf, bite United States Consul-General to Egypt, and himself a Hebrew, says of the prospect for missions in Egypt; There may be gloom in all the future ill nations and ages have known it all may again. There is one factor in this Egyptian problem which gives promise of future light. The Board of Missionaries of the United Presbyterian Church of this country aro doing a great and good work doing it quietly, unostentatiously, unselfishly, aud doing it thoroughly and well. They aro educating the Egyptians in the principles of honor and morality. The influence of the principles they are disseminating is vast, benelieial.and widely spreading.

The Egyptian fellaheen are regarding this country with respect and intelligent consideration. The example of our institutions will, in course of time, produce an effect that can not but be good. AKltON.O.. NOT NEWBUBGII, W. THE PLACE WHERE THE FIIfcjT SECTION WAS MADE.

Akron Sewer Pipe Antedates All Others. An extended letter from New Cumberland, W. to the Pittsburgh Tvfruraph, dated September contains the subjoined reference of interest to Akron, since it calls in question the claim made by our city for the credit of turning out the first sewer pipe made west of the Alleghenies, if not in the United States. Says tho Teleymph "Within a range of live miles of this beautiful little village strung along the Ohio river on either side, taking in the villages of Toronto, Elliolsville and McCoy's on the Ohio side, will be found one of the great and rapidly growing industries of the country the manufacture of fire brick, sewer pipe, terra cotta ware, from tho tine veins of fire clay found in the surrounding hills. Here it was at Toronto, then known as Newburg, iu 1852, Mr.

George Carlyle manufactured the first section of sewer pipe made west of the mountains, if not in the United States, at the. old Jefferson Pipe Works, with which he is still connected. Following this came the manufacture of fire brick, which has grown to such immense proportions, then the artistic terra cotta ware, such as lawn ises, chimney linings, Hues and chimney tops, that are replacing the old red crocks to be seen yet on many of your older buildings, until today we find 20 large fire brick yards and seven" large sewer pipe and terra cotta shops in full operation, shipping hundreds of thousands of tons of their productions annually to all parts of the United States, by rail and river. A large number of men and boys are given employment throughout the year in the shop's, yards and mines of these companies, and more will be needed, its nearly all of them are making large additions to their works this year. "The clay and coal mines are found on both sides of the river.

On the Virginia side the clay vein will run from six to eight feet in thickness, and is capped by a vein of coal ranging from 30 to 30 inches which is taken down after the clay is and used for fuel for the boilers burning kilns. The miners are all entered immediately back of the yards, level free. A greater part of the mining is done during the Winter season, vheii the yards are idle, thus giving their men work the year round. The lay is very hard, requiringdrilling and blasting. It is piled in the yards, and after exposure in the air softens and rumbles, making the grinding mu -asier and more rapid than when brought in direct from the mines.

On the Ohio side, some of the companies have sunk shafts to another vein of clay, and as the pipe factories are run all the season through, the clay mines are also worked steadily, some of them working both the upper and shaft vein. "As the iron business made such rapid strides after the war, the demand for tire brick gradually increased, leading a number of" individual operators to embark in their manufacture. "When the panic of '73 cane-there were upwards of 20 linns engaged in the business hereabouts, till striving to get the best they could out of the then overcrowded market, which 1 to such cutting in prices that then! was no money in it to any person. After a few years of this kind of losing business a proposition was made that, all unite their interests and protect the trade, which resulted in the organiza-t ton of the West Virginia Fire Brick Co. with B.

J. Smith, President, and Charles A. Freeman, Secretary. The tssociation is composed of 14 different firms. "The 'shipments of the association luring the past year, we learn, will foot tip 15,000,000 of brick and about 20,000 tons of ground fire clay.

At present trade is rather dull and prices drooping, owing to the prolonged strike in the iron mills. Still all the yards aro running steady to get out their full quota for the year." WHAT MR. FRANK ADAMS SAYS. As will be seen by the above, 1852 is fie earliest date claimed for the man-it "acture of sewer pipe at Newburgh, W. Va.

Still believing that Akron was ie pioneer, at least west of the Alleghenies, in the manufacture ot sewer pipe, The Beacon put the question to Mr. Frank Adams and got in reply the following interesting statement substantiating our conjecture, Mr. D. K. Hill's recollection also coinciding with this: ln 1850 Hill, Merrill Co.

(D. E. Hill; E. 11. Merrill, Hezekiah Camp and C.

J. Merrill constituting the firm; got out a machine to make what they term ed water pipe, to carry water from springs to houses and birns. They made 1-inch l'j-inch, 2J-inch and 4-inch octagon- suaped Some of it was used for sewage, purposes for private houses. In 1851 they got up a screw thread upon which they expected to make sewer pipe up to 12 inches in diameter but as there was no demand whatever for it, none was burnt from that press tid after the formation of the new company of Merrill, rowers Co. in 1855 of which Mr.

Frank Adams was a member. Ed. Beacon. "Iu the Spring of 1856 the city of Chi cago asked for 12-inch sewer pipe for city sewers. They then put the press in shape and went to making and burning sewer pipe the first sewer pipe, as I believe, made west of New ork city.

Washington Smith, i 'ii vew iotiv city, went, to J'mgiaiul and got a miserable old press and made a little pipe about that time, but we were really the first to make it in the United States." Has Melville Deserted His Wife? Philadelphia, Sept. 17. Since En gineer George W. Melville's return trom his perilous voyage to lie Arc tic seas, there has been some comment on the fact that he did not at once rush to the arms ot his family the moment he reached the shores (if his native country. He waited to be feasted at New York and tarried a dav and night in Philadelphia, although his wife and children were waiting in their home, but six miles away.

Mrs. Melville has also been criticized for not leavintr Sharon Hill to meet her husband. Then, too, the reception at Sharon Hill had its peculiarities, as those who witnessed it are well aware now. After all the fine words that have been written about the emotional meeting of husband and wife, after such a long and cruel separation, the announcement comes that Engineer Melville lias deserted his family. A reporter of the 1'rtss visited Mrs.

Melville and found her in bed sick, with her daughters by her side. Covering her face with her hands, the ladv said, her voice low and tremulous: "ies, my husband has left me; gone, I know not where, never to return gone without one word of explanation as to why he deserted me." "Do I understand you to sav. Mrs. Melville, that your husband has deliberately deserted you 'its, sir. lie left this house last night, lie refused to remain here and cursed me before he went." I Here followed at the reporter's re quest a long account of their brief meeting and his one brief visit home, concluding: "Just think of the disgrace; my chil- OBITUARY.

Tin: Late Mrs. "Mauoaret B. Thomas. Mrs. Margaret B.

She. was born in Wales, March .1 1, IS21. and emigrated to this country in a sailing vessel tit the age of 13, settling with her father's family at Palmyra, Portage County, on the farm where her brother, Enoch Morgan, now resides. She married Thomas B.

She was a Christian from early childhood to the time of her death. When the children lost their father they thought it was hard, and then to lose their mother so soon is more than they can stand. They only knew liie love that their parents had for them by the many acts of kindness received. There were seven children born to them, the youngest now past the age of maturity, and 12 grand children.

She bore her last illness, can cer of the jaw bone, witli fortitude, al though her sufferings weve great at times. Thus passes from the living one that was universally loved by all that cau.e in contact with her. The body will be taken from the vault at Glendale to-morrow at (5 a. m. and conveyed to Palmyra, Portage County, tor hunal.

P. 1), Horton, a pioneer preacher of the Methoditt denomination, and a man noted for his eminent piety and graces of mind. Mr. Horton came to Ravenna nearly 30 years ago, as a student in the 1 i office of Hon. Ezra B.

Taylor, his cousin, our present Congressional representative, and upon being admitted to the bar entered into patncrsliip with him, the relation continuing since. In 1857, while yet a-very young man, he was elected county prosecutor, winch olhee he tilled acceptably lor two years, He was a member of the last Constitutional Convention, and in 1S7!) he was again elected 1 rosecuting Attorney tor this county. Iu 1881 he was re-elect ed to the same position. Mi: Horton was a man of great intellectual ability, conscientious and was held in the highest esteem by the entire bar. lie had a clear, logical mind that ren dered his opinions masterly, and his counsel was sought by his legal associ ates with as much assiduity as by cli ents.

He was several times Mayor.ar.d in minor as larger duties, he was faithful in every trust. December. 25, 18iH, he married anny iniev, who with their four daughters and one son, survive the best of -husbands, the most affectionate and devoted of parents. l-or many years lie was an invalid, addicted with chronic asthma, and finally the development of Blight's disease hastened the termination of a useful life. His patience under physical alllic- tion was notable, and his career a pat tern and example ni inestimable worth For a number of years he had been a member of the Congregational Church, and active in its interests, and for ail things conducive to the good of the community.

Death of Sherman Blocker, an Old Resident. From Mo uUy's Daily Benocn. The death of Sherman Blocker, at his residence, iNo. Mo Wooster ave nue, at 2 o'clock this morninsr. thoutrh not altogether unexpected, will sadden the hearts of his many acquaintances 111 this city and elsewhere.

The tie ceased was born in AVadsworth, Medina County, December 15, 1819, in the com mon and academic schools ot which village he acquired a most excellent Lngiish education, also being able to lluently speak' and read the German language. Mr. Blocker was thoroughly acquainted with both ancient and modern history, and his mem ory ot events and public aftairs and public men was truly mavkable. In his 23d year, April 3, 1812, he was married to Miss Sarah E. Adams, a native of Trumbull Coun ty then living with her parents at Ediubtirg 111 Portage Counts, who with lour 01 the nine children horn to them three sons and one daughter still survive him.

among the official positions which he has acceptibly filled may be mentioned that of Engrossing uierk or the state senate in 1840 and Enrolling Clerk of the House of Representative in the sessions of 18(0 and lMil. 1 or lb consecutive years he also ably filled the otlice of Justice of the 1 eace 01 his native town. lew. in deed, of his decisions being reversed bv the higher courts. By appointment of the (Jity Council Mr.

BIocKer olhciated as Mayor pro tern, of Akron in the absence of Mavor Lane during the month of August, 1881, very acceptably in deed. Mr. Blocker removed with his family to Akron May 13, 18iil. aud during his 10 years resilience in this city has, by strict integrity, pry-einiueutsociabilitv and kind-heartedness, greatly endeared himself to all who have had the pleasure of forming his acquaintance. Though a well-read lawyer, and a member of the Bar, Mr.

Blocker has never actively engaged in the practice of law, but has quietly made himself useful to his neighbors in the way of advice and iie execution of such legal papers as were from time to time placed in his hands. Politically Mr. Blocker was originally a Whig, but by reason of his deep sense of justice and hatred of oppression, his feelings were early enlisted in behalf of the anti-Slavery cause, and on the dissolution of the' Whig party he naturally allied himself with the Republican ratty, of which he has ever since been an active and consistent member. In his religions opinions Mr. Blocker was what might properly be called a liberal-minded Christian gentlemen.

Though for many years he was a member of the Disciple Church, he was not ajstickler for any of the Creeds or dogmas of that or any other church organization, his motto being "do right and leave the consequences with God." Truly a good man has fallen, and in his death not his bereaved wife and children alone, but his entire circle of acquaintances are sincere mourners. Funeral at Wads worth on Wednesday tit 1 p. with brief services at family residence 115 Wooster Avenue, at 'J o'clock A. M. Cleveland, Medina and Wooster papers please copy.

It will be observed that indebtedness given above is for special improvements, for which bonds have been issued, and there is no indebtedness on the city at large. The credit of the city, however, is guaranteed on all of the bonds, and iu case a levy was illegally made, or on account of the ".5 per cent, law the property improved would not pay the tax, the city's indebtedness would be only to that extent. Since the 1st of September the interest on all the bonds has been paid so far as it was due.

There have been paid, since the lirst, 81,000 on the Co-burn street improvement, 8 100 on sewer No. 3, 1,000 on sewer No. 4, and 800 on sewer No. 5. The city have collected in the interval about $1,700.

Another point which should be understood, is that when the bonds were issued for the improvements, the amounts were fixed so as to cover both principal and interest, so that if the whole tax is collected from the property improved, the city would have nothing to pay. What Wondkhs One Woman Has "WrOUGHT? Mrs. Booth, wife and actyp coadjutor of the Generalissimo of the Salvation Army, is the daughter of a lady of rank who was banished from friends and home in early life because she resolutely choose to marry a Methodist lay preacher in preference to a man of weaicn anil position vinu was a suitor for l.er hand. The story ot tin painful epoch in her mother's life, and the yearj ot devotion that followed, appears, more than anything else to have inspired Mrs. Booth to enter upon tho remarkable career she is now pursuing.

Accordingly at the age of 10 she dedicated herself wholly to religious work, and since then, for nearly 25 years, she has been speaking in public three or four times weekly, and doing a large share of the general executive business of the Army. On being asked how she could do so much public work consistently with her duties as the mother of a large family, Mrs. Booth replied: "I did no visiting, and had no parties. I never left my children for any other purpose than to preach, and I therefore spent more time with them, after all, than mothers usually do." The training of the family has unquestionably been a success, the eldest live children being already among their father's most prominent and valuable helpers, and all the younger ones being as thoroughly imbued with the one idea of the household devotion to God and mankind. MOKE ABOUT THOSE ERIE, CHARGES AGAINST AN AK-liOM DETECTIVE.

From Moiulai 's I) i'y Pcaeon. Further details of the excitement in Erie, over the working up of cases against the saloon men and the serious charges made by the latter against Detective James Burlison are as follows: The detectives of the Eaw and Order League worked up 19 cases. About a third of these bills, according to the Lender correspondent, were thrown out by the grand jury, and the county ordered to pay the costs, and many of those tried were acquitted and the expenses of the prosecution put upon the tax-payers. But the Eaw and Order Eeague say they are well satisfied with the result of their campaign in having convicted a number of la -olators, and causing a score or more to break up business and leave the city to avoid arrest. The trials in the Criminal Court last week worked up the public to a fever heat of excitement.

The German press assailed the Law and Older League, the detectives, the jurors and the court with great bitterness. Wood cuts representing obnoxious people hanging on gibbets were published, and threats of bloodshed were freely made. A reign of terror prevailed for a season, and a riot was imminent. Out of this was suddenly started the story that Detective Burlison, who with others was employed by the Law and Order Society, was guiity of attempting to debauch a girl employed iu the City Hotel named Susan Hi no, a letter purporting to have been written by him to the girl appointing a meeting being shown around. The defense attempted to get this letter before the jury but it was ruled out.

Frank Weiss, editor of the thereupon made an attack upon the Court and was brought before it and severely reprimanded, but continued his attacks. On the first trial, Burlison testified for the prosecution and on cross-examination lie was asked as to his boarding places and gave a list, omitting, its the correspondent says, the name of the City Hotel. This, Mr. Burlison said to a Beacon representative to-day, he afterwards corrected on the "stand himself, from memoranda, claiming that tho omission was made through inadvertence. He also, on the stand, denied any improper conduct toward the girl, 'and repeated the denial to Tin: Beacon to-day.

He also denied the story that Mrs. Haws, wife of the proprietor of the City Hotel, kept the appointment alleged to have been made with the girl, and that he (IJnr-lison) fled when lie saw her. The correspondent further says: "Tne Mwa' Order Lflflfrue c'nim lliat tli teller a forgery that it is uiisii-ucil ana bears no rPSPrnW inc-i to ui oil's handwr'uip; 'I lev is- lai iliac Iu Tumid not write mh Ii an ll it-ei itc I- tor, aud that li is a man of iimiiieli-ble molality.

Relative to the above, Mr. Burlison says that the reason for his haste to come to Akron was that his sewer assessment ease was pending and that unless he got back to Akron in time the penalty would be attached.

Finally, he says that he believes the whole story, with the forged letter, was gotten up by the liquor dealers to break him down in the eyes of the people of Erie. A New-Proof That the Earth is Round. London Prst. A new proof of the globular form of the earth has been produced by two scientists in Geneva, Messrs. Dufotir and Earell.

They have called attention to the fact that the images of steamers and the surrounding mountains, when reflected upon the surface of the immense lake, invariably appeared in a diminished size. Hence they conclude that the surface ot the lake must be bent in a convex shape, otherwise it could not produce the the same results as a Japanese diminishing mirror or a convex lens. Of course tiiis observation is not conned to the Lake of Geneva, but must be true of all. the great water-surfaces which are sufficiently still and placid to serve as mirrors. A critic has asked why this phenomenon has not been noticed until recently.

MM. Dufotir and Farrell reply that it has possibly been noticed by private observers, who have not thought of its interest or importance as a confirmation of the theory that we are living upon a globe. They add, further, that the diminution of the reflected objects is so slight that it would naturally escape the notice of the greater number of observers. "Woman Suffrage Geauga Repub'icau. Tho Republican State Convention of Kansas, which met at Topeka last month, passed the following resolution: Rnolved, That we request tho next I ecdslaMire to sulnmt such an aiiieii- imnit to the Constitution of the state as will secure to woman the right ot sufraue.

Kansas Republicans, after a severe struggle, have won a decided victory in favor of Prohibition. They now propose to adopt an amendment to the Constitution allowing woman to exer cise their right to the ballot. If the women are allowed to vote, there will be no danger of the Prohibition amend ment ever being repealed.
