News In Court.
"Your Honor, I ask for protection
from the court."
Prosecutor R. 31. Wanamaker was
on the stand as a witness for the de
fense in the case of James Doran et
al. vs. the County Commissioners.
All of Tuesday afternoon he had
been giving the details of the events
leading up to the confession of
Romulus Cotell. Mr. Sieber, for the
plaintiffs, had made numerous objec
tions. He claimed the Prosecutor
was making arguments for the de
fense while giving testimony. He
Insisted that the witness confine
himself to answering questions.
"I am entitled to some respect, I
believe," continued Mr. Wanamaker.
"Gentlemen, there should be no
feeling displayed in the trial of this
case. As it is it is taking too much
, time," said the court.
Mr. Sieber assured the court that
he had uo personal feeling in the
matter, but that he believed that
Mr. Wanamaker, being an attorney,
should know when he answered the
question. It was not proper for him
to do anything more. The case is
"moving alongvery slowlyntWill
probably take a week to complete
the trial.

Hon. John R. McLean's Advice to the
Democrats of Ohio.
Chairman Ed. H. Hishop has re
ceived the following letter from Hon.
John R. McLean :
Cincinnati, O., Nov. 11, 1899.
Mr. Ed. H. Bishop, Chairman Dem
ocratic Executive Committee,
Summit county:
Dear Sir: I have lost, but I be
lieve the party has gained. I believe
the principles for which we stood
the issues are so strong that the bat
tle is only begun. For the part you
took there can be nothing but praise.
You have shown your Democracy
with fearful odds against you. Every
Democrat should be grateful to you
and your organization.
I ain not disappointed, for Mc
Lecin i s only one man, but for the
many poor fellows who staked their
all on this fight, I have the greatest
sympathy. For them I am dis
tressed. The Democrats of the
state of Ohio should feel proud of
their fight. The President's state;
the home of Mark Hanna, a United
States Senator; of Mark Hanna,
Chairman of the National Republi
can Committee ; contributions from
every stato in the Union, from every
United States legation in foreign
countries, all contributed what they
could, creating an enormous fund
that was simply overwhelming in
the last three days of the fight. Ours
was a battle for principles; theirs
for political purposes.
I hope that next year God will
spare you, your associates and my
self that we may all be in the battle
in 1900, a battle for the people against
tho combinations of power. This Is
the hour for couroge, for pluck. I
know you have plenty of it; spare
what you can for your neighbor; en
courage him to go on with the good
fight. It is only a question of time
when we will wear them out.
The Jones movement caused the
defeat of the Democratic party. I do
not believe that was their intention.
They meant to overthrow Hanna,
but their movement was a misdi
rected one.
As the candidate of tho Democrat
ic party for Governor of Ohio, I
thank you for yonr loyal support.
As a man a Democrat, I beg of you
to organize and bd ready for the bat
tle next year.
Sincerely your friend,
J. R. MoLeak.

Private Meeting Held to Discuss Plans
For Year's Work.
All members of Chamber of Com
merce committees were present at a
private meeting held Tuesday even
ing. Tho meeting was called to discuss
plans for the coming year's work.
Indications are that work will be
prosecuted with a greater vigor than
has been the case in the past, as the
secretary's salary was increased suf
ficiently to warrant his giving con
siderable of his time to Chamber of
Commerce work. Attorney H. L.
Snyder has been re-elected secre
tary. Among other matters considered
was that of the project to annex ter
ritory on the north, south and west
of Akron. The Chamber of Com
merce is enthusiastically in favor of
this annexation and a Committee of
Twenty was appointed to meet with
the County Commissioners Thursday
morning and do all in their power to
bring about measures authorizing the
taking in of the territory proposed by
the City Council.
Dayton A. Doyle, chairman of the
Legislative committee, was instruct
ed to correspond -with members of
Municipal Code Commission, rela-
tive-to securing speakers to-come-to
Akron to explain to the people the
real interests embodied in the Muni
cipal Code bill which is being pre
pared for submission to the next
legislature.
Tho Executive committee reported
that membership dues had been
raised from $3 to $10 a year.
KEPT HIS WORD.
Dr. Jacobs Got Two Deer
On His Hunting Trip.
Gave Onfi to Oshkosh City Hospital
Brought the Other Home.
Some of Akron's people may have
noticed that fine deer on exhibition
at Phil Sohlingmann's East Market
street meat market today.
It is one of the excellent speoimens
killed by Dr. W. O. Jacobs while on
his hunting trip in Northern Wis
consin. Dr. Jacobs returned from
his trip last evening, well recouped
in health and more than pleased
with his hunting experiences. He
brought one of the deer home with
him. The other he gave to the City
Hospital at Oshkosh.
Accompanying Dr. Jacobs on" his
hunting trip were Dr. C. W. Oviatt
of Oshkosh, Wis., and Dr. Darwin
Sperry of Philips, Wis. While in
Wisconsin Dr. Jacobs met Dr. and
Mrs. Willis P. Sperry of Tallmadge,
who were the guests of Phillips rel
atives. A day or so after Dr. Jacobs ar
rived in Wisconsin he wrote home
that he would not return until he had
killed a deer. The fact that he
killed two has won for him the ad
miration of the local medical fra
ternity. A $12,000 JUDGMENT.
The C. A. & C. Railway Company

Last Night's Enrollment
Was 460.
Special Corps of Teachers
Employed.
No Tuition Fees Charged the
Akron Pupils.
School Board Held a Special Meeting
iLast Night.
The nigh school at the High
school building has assumed such
considerable proportions as to cause
the members of the Board of Educa
tion to wonder '-where they aro at."
A special meeting of the Board
was held Tuesday evening to dis
cuss the situation.
Supt. Thomas reported that the
present enrollment in the night
school is 400. There were 23 addi
tions Tuesday evening and 136 Mon
day night. Mr. Thomas said the
young people appeared to be in ear
nest. He sad there is quite a de
mand for instruction in mechanical
drawing and some want geometry
and algebra! The majority, natural
ly, are in need of the common
branches.
Mr. Talcolt thought the first thing
to consider was the question of fi
nances. Mr. Thomas stated that the
cost has been estimated at $3,000 to
$.5,500 to run! the school-until April
1. The clerk was not prepared to
give a correct report but said that
there is about $52,700 on hand now;
that about $40,000 will be needed .to
run the schools until the February
apportionment is available, so that
tho Board will have a surplus ex
ceeding $10,000 to use for the night
school project If it is so desired.
Salary Discussion.
Chairman Reed of the Teachers'
committee recommendtd that eight
teachers be employed, the salary
to be fixed at $2.50 for each teacher
per night.
The salary question created a great
deal of discussion. Mr. Otis said
that the teachers were already ser
vants of the Board, being employed
at liberal salaries, in the day school.
"If you add $2.50 a night for four
nights each week," said Mr. Otis,
"you will create discord among the
other teachers." He thougtt that
teaching at night would necessarily
detract from the teacher's efficiency
in his day work. Mr. Otis recom
mended the employment of non
employed teachers and not double
up salaries.
Mr. Slabaugh thought the amount
specified was too much for two
hours' work and Mr. Talcott ex
pressed himself along the same line.
It was argued, however, that the
very best talent in the city had been
secured and that the necessity of
starting the school upon a proper
basis demanded teachers of exper
ience. When the matter was put to
a vote all of the dissenters wheeled
into line, the only negative vote be
ing cast by Col. Gibbons, who had
taken no part in the discussion.
Teachors Employed.
The teachers employed are I. R.
Garbutt, J. H. Barnhart, Lee R.
Knight, S. W. Krull, F. L. Brown,
John Taylor, A. M. Dyer and W. H.
Anderson. The term of service for
the teachers will expiro Jan. 1.
Course of Study.
The Committee upon Course of
Study recommended the teaching of
the following studies: Bookkeep
ing, reading, writing, spelling, arith
metic, English grammar, U. S. his
tory, civil government and mechan
ical drawing. The latter study was
adopted provided pupils pay a tuition
of 25 cents per week to pay for in
struction. Mr. Fresc objected to tho
study and proposed an amendment
that in case the tuition received was
not sufficient to pay the teacher that
it be dropped. Tho amendment was
adopted.
No Tuition.
Mr. Raymond moved that no tui
tion be charged to citizens residing
within the school district with tho
exception of tho class in mechanical
drawing.
Mr. Otis said that the age limit
was from 0 to 21 years in tho day
school and he was not in favor of
making any exceptions in the night
schools. Mr. Slabaugh was of the
same opinion, saying that as the
pupils were engaged at work during
the day, they could afford to pay a
small tuition.
The vote stood:
Ayes Raymond, Millikiu, Frese,
Kelley, Hartzell, Gibbons, Reed.
Nays Otis, Slabaugh, Diehm, Tal
cott. A motion by Mr. Slabaugh pre
vailed that those attending the
night school who live outside of the
school district of the city of Akron
pay a tuition of 50 cents per week.
Mr. Slabaugh also moved that all
over 21 years of age within school
district be assessed 25 cents per
week. This was lost on a tie vote.
The committee on text books re
commended that the new Introduc
tory Bookkeeping be used in the
school.

It seems that early iu the evening
Handworth tossed a few febrile
drinks into him and acted in the
usual peculiar manner. At one time
he was seen carrying two coats. Later

pockets with a choice assortment of
blue-gills. He started away from the
market, but upon second thought re
turned and took some more fish.
Continuing on South Main st. to
Grossman's furniture store, Hand
worth made another stop. Select

he took it with him. He was next

Baldwin-Wallace Against
Buchtel College.
Local Players Are Con
fident of Success.
Omaha Kid's Hard Fight With
Jack Hamiliton.
Gus Ruhlin Will Meet Lansing In
Youngstown.
Manager Robinson of the Buchtel
college foot" ball team "has secured
the Baldwin-Wallace university
team for a game next Saturday in
this city.
Lovers of foot ball will remember
that Baldwin-Wallace has a strong
team and has played several star
games in Akron during previous sea
sons. Thoir appearance upon the
college gridiron should call out a
large crowd of spectators at Satur
day's game.
The college boys aro hard at work
every afternoon and great interest is
being manifested. Captain Price is
putting the new men through regular
practice and when Buchtel lines up
against the heavy collegians, there
will be no weak spots in the team.
The college boys are confident of
victory and tho game promises to be
a good one. "
As the Buchtel players have two
games scheduled against Mt. Union,
the contest Saturday will be of value
to them in measuring their strength
against college teams.
Gardner Wins. - . -
It took twenty-five rounds of
fierce fighting for Oscar Gardner, the
Omaha Kid, to get a decision over
James Hamilton in New York,
Tuesday night. Hamilton put up a
strong, nervy fight, and was only de
feated by the Kid's cleaner cut de
livery and cleverness.
Gus Ruhlin.
It Is announced that Gus Ruhlin
will meet Mike Lansing in Youngs
town in the near future.
Will Meet Ruhlin.
A special from Youngstown says:
"The local athletic club has re
ceived Word from Mike Lansing of
Rochester, N. Y., that he will meet
Ruhlin here in a 20-round contest.
Lansing is 6 feet 1 inch tall, 20 years
old, 195 pounds aud is a boiler maker
by trade. Ruhlin has refused to
meet Dunkhorst at Youngstown."
Good Bouts.
No better or stronger series of box
ing bouts has ever been arranged for
decision in this vicinity than those
planned for the Wes Side A. C. of
Massillon for next Monday night. In
addition to the 15-round contest be
tween Art Simms, featherweight
champion of the state, and Dave
Lavigne, featherweight champion of
New England, Ihero will be two
other ten round contests and a six
round go between good boys of more
than average ability. The cham
pionship affair between Lavigne aud
Simms promises to bo replete with
brilliant boxing, and as both lads
have unbeaten records they will cer
tainly battle every inch of the entire
distance or until a winner is found.
Simms will have a slight ndian
tage in height, and is probably a
harder puncher than his more ex
perienced opponent, but tho latter
has generalship and speed jo off set
the whirlwind rushes of the Akron
boy, and the winner will know that
he has been to anything but a pink
tea when the smoke of battle clears
away. This contest will undoubtedly
establish Simm's standing in the
fistic world, and should ho be fortu
nate enough to dofeat the eastern
crack it will give him. a big reputa
tion in tho east, where Lavigne has
defeated the best men that could be
found to face him.
Howe Won.
Tho Howo school foot ball team
defeated the third High school team
Monday afternoon. Score 10 to 0.
August Stitzlein made a 10 yard run
for a touchdown.
Thanksgiving Game.
There will be no "fake" about the
foot ball game to be played Thanks
giving by teams representing the
Elks and Klrkwood clubs.
It has been decided that the win
ning team shall have 75 per cent of"
the gate receipts and the losers end
25 per cent. Both teams will put
forth every effort to win the larger
slice, and a large crowd will un
doubtedly be on hand to witness the
game and see the pigskin chasers
wallow in the mud..
Secret practice is being indulged in
by both teams, and there is every
reason to believe that a "walk
away" is not in store for either side.
