J3f The attendance at the State Fair at
Columbus off Thursday has been estimated
all the way from 40,000 to 60,000. The rail
road carrying the people from the onion
depot to the grounds say they sold 65,000
round trip tickets, which is stretching it a
little, no doubt, but there was an immense
crowd of people there, as the editor of this
paper and other Henry county citizens in
attendance upon that day can testify. We
estimated the crowd at 40,000.
t" Stick itnt them and keep it before
them, that this administration has saved
$27,000,000 by cutting and using fewer clerks,
and by a more efficient collection of the
revenues. Stick it at them and keep it be
fore them, that the publio debt was lessened
more than $5,000,000 more last year than it
was under the last year of Republican rule.
Keep it before them and stick it at them that
soldier's pensions too have been raised and
the nennionera increased in number under
Democratic rule. Stick it at them and keep
it before them that times have somewhat re
vived from the day that Democrats oame in
to power. Keep these facts before them as a
balm to sooth and conciliate their wounded
spirits. '
3T It is laughable in the extreme to see
the Signal squinting over the Harrison town
ship road levy. .It placed the levy at one
hundred times greater than it really was, and
first said it was made by the County Com
missioners, then by the Auditor, then by the
Democratic Clerk of Harrison Township,
and the lord only knows who next will be
charged with making the levy. There is
nothing irregular about the levy, and it was
made at the meeting of the Township board
of Trustees on the 1st day of March '86, it being
the first Monday in the month, and is so re
corded, upon the Trustees journal and signed
by Mr. Okee Palmer, the then Republican
Clerk. Of course it is a bitter pill for the
Signal to be compelled to acknowledge its
ignorance, but facts are facts, and whether
it acknowledges it or not, an enlightened
community will draw its own conclusions,
and it wont leave the editor of the Signal
in a very enviable light, either. But proba
bly the Signal has taken for its refuge the
old maxim: "Where ignorance is bliss 'tis
folly to be wise."
J3T" Upon onr inside page we give a dis
criptionof the earthqarke at Charleston and
other points. Sinoe these scenes other shocks
have oecored. On Fridary night quite a
severe shook was had and on Batarday night
at 9:30 a shock of about fire second was ex
perienced. The new visitations caused the
excitement to intensify and thousands left
the city and the inhabitants were living with
out doors. Bnt little damage was done by
these latter shocks; two houses were demolish
ed and no lives lost. Donations from over
the country are pouring in for the relief of
the wants of the stricken inhabitants of the
city.
y The editor of the Signal grows quite
wrathy over oar little allusion to Fraud
Eayes. He evidently does not take to the
word Fraud, or else he objects to our state
ment that he would not be a winning card.
This is bat natural, though, as the editor of
the Signal claims some relationship to the
Fraud we believe Eayes' grandmother's
old torn cat ran across the Signal editor's
grandfather's back yard onoe or twice, henoe
the affinity. ' But, to be serious, we believe it
was a big mistake to ask the Fraud to Henry
county, and no doubt it was done upon the
spur of the moment, whereas a second sober
thought would have decided otherwise. We
are sorry onr esteemed neighbor takes it so
hard, and still more sorry that he is related
to the Fraud.
JSP The Democratic State Central Com
mittee met in Columbus on Wednesday even
ing of last week, for the purpose of selecting
an Executive Committee. The following
Committee was selected:
Henry Bohl, of Washington county, Chair
man; Vice Chairman, 3. H. Hoffman, of Fer
ry county; Secretary, H. L. Hoover, of Mus
kingum; Treasurer, W. H. Horn, of Franklin;
J. L. Vance, Gallia; W. J. O'Neill, .Hamilton;

fSf It is rather diverting to hear Republi
can papers in this and other neighborhoods
of the State calling upon the good honest
Democrats to help to elect their candidate
for Congressman in the 6th district. Why
not coll upon your own party to do it? Was
not the present 6th district especially carved
out as a Republican -district? It certainly
was, but the good honest Republicans are
now voting with the Democrats, rebuking
the unconstitutional methods of the leaders
of the Republican party, teaching their own
party that the will of the people must not be
overridden. And they will continue to vote
with the good honest Democrats, and this
fall they will cast their ballots for Mr. Hill,
who has made a good record in Congress, and
who intends to do more for the general peo
ple when he gets back to . Washington. This
the rascals know, and they will not vote for
him. But the good honest voters will be on
hand, and the 6th district will continue to
be represented by a Democrat.
A Dernier Resort.
'. Some unprincipled Republicans have in
duced an alleged unprincipled fellow named
Niswander, of Columbus, to bring suit in the
Franklin Common Pleas Court against John
MoBride, the Democratic candidate for
Secretary of State, charging him with
alienating the affections of his wife, and
claiming $10,000 damages. No one acquaint
ed with the circumstances places any credence
in the charge, and it is evident that the ob
ject is to make political capital out of it.
McBrideand Mrs. Niswander and her rela
tives denounce it as an infamous and con
temptible slander. Decent Republicans in
Columbus feel chagrined to think that snch
infamy is resorted to for campaign purposes,
and the scheme is denounced everywhere.
Toledo Bee.
And it may be added that the whole scheme
was concocted by the corrupt Republican
ring at Columbus, than which a baser set of
rascals cannot be found upon God's footstool,
taking as a basis for their devilish work the
fact that Mr. and Mrs. Niswander were liv
ing apart, having been separated through
family troubles, and Mr. McBride being an
intimate friend of the wife's family, and the
head of the Democratic ticket, he was made
the victim, for effect upon the voters of the
State. This man, this injured husband, was
made an easy partner in the dirty work, as
he is on the make, and of course ' is paid a
good round sum for his part, a part which
has been wholly worked up by the gang of
Columbus Republican bums, and probably
assisted by some high in power at the State
capital. This is the more plausible in the
light of circumstances which have transpired
within the past few months which have been
traced to high places. The next step of these
rascals will be to prolong the case in court
until after the election, when of course the
whole matter would be dropped, as it had
served its purpose. But Mr. MoBride says
he is ready to meet the charge at onoe, and
has no fears but that he can establish his en
tire innocence and lay bare the whole matter
as a Republican electioneering soheme.
Parties who would be guilty of such mean
ness should be strung up.

Railroad New.
In conversation with a reporter for the
Cleveland Plata Dealer a day or two since, a
gentleman of prominenoe connected with the
railroad interests of the country said: "I do
not think that scheme has been half unfolded
yet Most reports have it that the road is to
be built from Akron to Chicago Junction,
and have accepted as a foregone con elusion
that the road when constructed would im
mediately pass into the hands of the Balti
more and Ohio company and be operated as
a part of their system. I think both these
statements will be found to be incorrect. I
think the Ohio railway will not stop at
Chicago Junction, nor will it be operated by
the Balimore and Ohio. In fact I can say
that the oontract on which all the subscrip
tions along the line were secured specifies
that the road shall be built to Tiffin, and I
think without doubt that it will be so built.
Onoe at Tiffin, the chances ' of obtaining a
connection are doubled, as the Indiana,
Bloomington and Western as well as the
Baltimore and Ohio centers there. But that
is not all. A few miles away, across the
country, is Defiance, located on the Wabash.
Everybody knows that under the old manage
ment the Wabash was anxious to secure an
eastern connection. TJhe same reasons still
exist, and to my oertain knowledge negotia
tions have been opened looking to a lease or
other arrangements by which the Wabash
can secure an outlet eastward over the Ohio
railway to Akron and Pittsburg and Western
to Pittsburg. So yon see that by moving on
to Tiffin the chances are numerously increas
ed. Besides there is nothing to stop for at
Chicago Junction. A -town should never
have been located there in the first place. If
the Ohio railway goes to Tiffin I predict that
the Baltimore and Ohio will move its shops
there in another year." '
The Tiffin Advertiter then goes on to say:
In regard to the probable Wabash connec
tion, this gentleman overlooks the fact that
from Tiffin to Napoleon the bed of the old
Coldwater road is already graded, and that
the connection with the Wabash system at
tLe latter place would be the most natural
because the cheapest and most convenient.
It has been thought probable, also, that the
proposed new road would be made part of
the Vanderbilt system, connecting with the
Nickelplate at Arcadia, about fifteen miles
west of this city, and eastward from Akron
by the Pittsburg and Western and Southern
Pennsylvania, the latter being contemplated
as a rival of the Pennsylvania line for the
through traffic between the East and the
West.
Disgusted Creditor.
Napoleon, 6., Sept. 7th, 1886.
Ed. Nobthwkst: William Sheffield com
mitted suicide at his residence in Napoleon
on the 3d day of October, 1883. He was the
senior member of the firm of Sheffield & Nor
ton, bankers in Napoleon. These men had
carried on the business of private banking
for a number of years and had obtained,
whether honestly or not, the confidence of a
great many of our citizens, including a num
ber of the township treasurers of the county,
who were induced to deposit their money and
the moneys of the township treasurers in
their bank. This had been going on for some
years. They had been made to believe, by
the assurances and smiles of J. D. Norton,
the junior member of the firm, that their
money was safe and the bank was Bound.
And these representations extended to all
classes, including laboring men and women,
guardians and orphan children. While the
people could know but little or nothing about
the inside management of the bank, they
had to depend entirely upon the assurances
of Sheffield 4 Norton as to its solvency; they
were assured, and indeed it was known by all
that Sheffield owned in his own right a large
amount of real estate in Henry county as ap
peared on record, and it was upon the strength
and knowledge of this large araount of real
estate in his name that induce i the people to
deposit their money in the bank.
The cause of Sheffield's death is now a mat
ter of no concern; it does not keep the poor
men, women and children who have been
swindled. Man; women in this neighbor
hood, a number of them .widows, are now at
work washing for a living; others are unable
to send their children to school for want of
clothing and school books. These are facts
well known to the people of Henry county.
In the statements herein made "I shall not
extenuate, or ought set down in malice,"
but shall state the simple truth.
Immediately after the death of Sheffield,
and for some ten or twelve days thereafter,
Mr. Norton was profuse in his statements as
to the solvency of the bank and its ability to
pay the oreditors every cent due them and
have a large surplus left, and this too, with
out calling upon the Teal estate of Mr.
Sheffield for any portion of it; while in truth
and in fact, the bank was wholly insolvent
and Mr. Norton must have known, if he knew
anything about the bank (he having always
been the business partner and cashier,) that
it was wholly insolvent, and that including
the money and all the assets good and bad,
oould not possibly pay its debtors. He must
have known and did know, from a schedule
recently made, at the request of a portion of
the oreditors, that many of the debts due the
bank were worthless; that a large number of
notes and accounts on hand were for money
lavishly and recklessly handed out by him
when he was a candidate for State Senator,
and afterwards when he attempted to be a
candidate for Congress, but I will let many
things in this connection pass for the present.
While these false and fraudulent represen
tations of Mr. Norton were being made to in
duoe the creditors and the publio to believe
the bank was solvent, he, on or about the
15th day of Ootober and within ten or twelve
days after Sheffield's death, induced Hnlda H,
Sheffield, his mother-in-law, who had been
appointed administratrix of the estate of
William Sheffield, to file a petition in court
asking for the appointment of a receiver for
the bank of Sheffield & Norton. Simultan
eously with the filing of this petition, request
ing Norton as the surviving partner, to ad
ministrator the effects of the bank, he (Nor
ton) filed his answer saying that be would
not. This was all done on the same day and
by the same attorney the object being, as is
seen to lay some sort of a foundation for the
appointment of a receiver, whioh was ac
complished on the same day from our Pro
bate Judge.
This was done and accomplished in a back
room in the Probate Judge's office in the
Court House, without any knowledge what
ever to one of 507 creditors of that bank. No
notice or information was given to any of
of them at the time, nor has there been since;
and the only knowledge that any one of this
vast number of creditors ever had or now
has, is what they may learn on the streets or
by going to the Clerk's office after onr court
adjourns, and then learning what has been
put upon the journal by Norton and High,
and their ever officious and handy attorneys
at the expense of the creditors.
The constitution of onr State provides (ar
ticle 8, section 1) as follows: "All men have
certain unalienable rights, among which are
those of enjoying and defending life and lib
erty, acquiring, possessing and protecting
property, and seeking and obtaining happi
ness and safety." 8hectionl6 provides that
"all courts shall be open and every person
for an injury done him in his lands, goods,
person or reputation, shall have remedy by
due course of law, and justice administered
without denial or delay." These provisions
of the constitution have been set aside and
violated in every particular by a conspiracy
formed and hatched here by a trinity of per
sons, the main object of which was and is, to
cheat and defraud the creditors of the bank
of Sheffield t Norton. They thik they have
accomplished their object they forget that
the laws still remain for the protection and
safety of the people. They will find that no
man or court can take the property of the
citizen without his knowledge or consent, un
less he has committed a crime against the
law. I intend, Mr. Editor, in a future com
munication to show that this has been done
ia Henry county. I shall also show when,
how and by whom it has been done, and the
machinery set on foot to accomplish it. I
will show from the records of our court, that
High and Norton have been allowed and paid
over $8,000 for salaries alone, which does not
include attorneys fees and other useless ex
penses, amounting in the aggregate to about
$15,000, without having rendered little if any
service. I intend to show that Norton by
fraud has attempted to sell and dispose of,
and has sold so far as his deeds amount to
anything, all or nearly all, the real estate be
longing to William Sheffield at the time of
his death, and I intend to show further that
Norton and High, at or subsequent to the
January term of our court, procured confirm
ations of all these sales of lands fraudulently
made by Norton, and have caused the same
to be entered upon the journal of our court,
all of which is clearly in violation of the law.
I intend, Mr. Editor, to make this showing,
with your permission, for the reason that
many of the readers of the Nobthwesi have
an interest in the fair and honest settlement
of that bank. Cbkditob.
Lyman Trowbridge of Napoleon, an exten
sive land owner in Jackson township, for sev
eral mouths has been making arrangements
to build a mammoth stave and hoop factory
on the B. & O. at the township line between
Jackson and Henry townships, and last week
he thought he had all his preliminary arrange
ments perfected. But when he applied to the
B. & O. to put in a switch which they had
promised him, he found that other factory
men in that vicinity had been to the B. A O.
officials and pronounced his plans a specula
tive scheme, originated for the purpose of
bleeding them, and snch arguments have in
duced the B. & O. to go back on its arrange
ments regarding the switch, thus effectually
blocking his plans. Mr. Trowbridge declin
ed to be thus driven out of his. business ar
rangements, however, and after securing the
names of numerous prominent business men
and nearly all our county officials to a state
ment that his plan was a bona fide business
investment on a large scale, he sought the
B. & O. officials and again secured the prom
ise of a switch, and the factory will now be
built and in operation before cold weather
sets in. Wood Co. Dem.
