The Romance Ended. Under the above head the
News-Democrat of Canton, Ohio, of Monday, has the following concerning the
marriage of Mr. Frank G. Robison, son of Mrs.
Hattie Robinson, Chestnut street: Mr.
Frank G. Robison and Miss Mary C. Feicht,
two popular and well known Canton young people, are the leading characters in a
little romance. Mr. Robison has for some months been employed at a local
photograph studio. Miss Feicht is the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Andrew Feicht of High street, and is an accomplished seamstress. The
couple met, became friends, and friendship extended into love. A few weeks ago
Mr. Robison received a letter from his mother, who lives in Sharon, Pa., which
brought matters to a climax. She is part owner of a large furniture store there
and she wanted Frank to come home to take charge of the business. Frank decided
to go. He went down and arranged matters and last week returned to straighten up
affairs here and get ready to quit Canton for good. Now the young lady began to
be a factor in the situation. Should he go to Sharon and leave his lady love
languishing in loneliness in Canton? Perish the thought! That would never do. The
couple considered the matter and finally hit upon what looked like a solution.
They would just slip off slyly to a parson and be married in secret and about
the first of the year they would announce their marriage. A license was issued
and the proper ecclesiastical assistance enlisted and the pair became Mr.
and Mrs. Robison. This was last Thursday afternoon and on Friday Mr.
Robison left for Sharon.

15 - During the sitting of court on Friday last Judge
Miller disposed of the following business: In
the case of the Central District and Printing Telegraph company vs. Anna
M. Richards, of Jackson township, wherein a contract for right of way and
erection of poles on defendant’s property was made, at one dollar per pole,
but afterward rejected, plaintiffs petitioned for the right to complete their
part of the contract, by paying the same into court. A rule to show cause was
granted why the plaintiff should not pay the money into court and why all
proceedings should not be stayed. In
the case of Mary L. Evans vs. the borough of
Greenville and William V. Waugh vs. same, petitions
were presented by Gillespie & Pettit, attorneys
for plaintiffs, of an appeal from the award of dam ages of viewers to the court
of common pleas of Mercer county, and asked that the case may be determined by a
jury to the course of the common law. The appeals were allowed by the court. In
the de lunatico inquirendo proceedings of Joseph P
Everhard, the court filed the following decree: “This
case was heard upon petitions and answers and upon consideration thereof it is
ordered and directed that Otis A. Huff, committee
of Joseph P. Everhard, above named lunatic, pay
over to the county of Mercer such sums as may be necessary to pay whatever
amount the county has heretofore expended for or in behalf of said lunatic, in
so far as the funds in his hands are sufficient and from time to time hereafter
to apply any additional funds, for said purpose as the same may come into his
hands until the further order of the Court.” In
the de lunatico proceedings of John Mowry, of
Greenville, in which John W. Vosler, Esq., was
appointed commissioner, a motion was made by Gillespie
& Pettit for an alias commission. The petition was granted and John
W. Vosler, commissioner, directed to summon a new jury and give notice of
the same as directed in former commission and make return to next term of court.
The former jury failed to agree. In
the manner of the appointment of J.H. Frampton,
guardian of Mary Lewis and J.W.
Dorr, in which a citation was awarded in October, on motion of attorney
for the wards, a rule to show cause why John H. Frampton
should not file his account as guardian was awarded. Rule for citation was made
absolute and John H. Frampton ordered to file his
account not later than December 9, 1899. Report
of W.J. Whieldon, Esq., as auditor on the final
account of the estate of Lindsay Mathieson,
deceased last of Pine township, was presented and confirmed nisi. James
E. Emery was appointed as committee of the person and estate of Robert
McKnight, a lunatic, who was confined in the almshouse for some time and
has since been removed to Warren asylum. W.H. Cochran, Esq., presented the petition of E.N. Hosack, administrator of Emily Hosack, deceased, late of Mercer, asking leave to sell a house and lot in Mercer, belonging to her estate, to Mrs. Emma Askins for $400. The sale was confirmed and the administrator filed a bond in the sum of On
motion of J.D. Emery, Esq., the return of the sale
of David Farrell, of West Middlesex, administrator
of Abraham Gregg, deceased, was presented and sale
of real estate confirmed. Bond
of A.E. Turner, for sale of real estate of J.J.

Kalb had agreed to maintain her and defray her funeral expenses at her
death, which agreement was accepted by the court who authorized the committee to
make the contract In
the matter of the registration of Dr. Charles C. Campbell,
as a physician and surgeon, the court granted a rule to show cause why the
medical register of Mercer county should not be corrected by striking therefrom
the name of Charles Cunningham Campbell, returnable
on the second Monday of January, 1900. Marriage

Irwin, of Findley, has flied a sheep claim of $17 for four killed. Sheriff
Riddle is confined to his room with illness. Although slightly improved
Tuesday, he suffers great pain in his head and back. DO
YOU TYPEWRITE? A
Pertinent Query That is of Interest to Professional Men and Others. Although
the typewriter is a comparatively recent invention, no other labor-saving device
has received such general acknowledgement of its merits, and no other machine
has demonstrated so thoroughly its usefulness. Typewriters are now used in all
business offices and by clergymen, doctors, lawyers and men of letters, and we
venture to say that the time is near at hand when the writing machine will be as
much a furnishment of the home as the piano or the telephone. How
much better the product and how much easier the operation since the
businessman’s correspondence, the author’s manuscript, has been written by
machine. The work is neater, more legible and accomplished with greater speed. The
first inventions of typewriter were crude affairs, but there has been continued
advancement until the latest machine is nearly perfect. That there has been
great improvement in typewriters we are convinced by an inspection of the
latest, the Pittsburgh Visible Writing Machine. A representative of the Bindley
Hardware company of Pittsburgh, who are wholesale distributing agents for this
machine, will be at the Carver House on Nov. 24th. He will meet all who are
interested in writing machines and will also secure a local representative. One
of the bright businessmen here would do well in taking up the sale of this
machine. ONE

in Crab Creek. Thomas
Jordan, an ironworker, of Sharon, was drowned in Crab Creek, near
Youngstown, early Sunday morning, presumably while intoxicated. The Vindicator
says it is supposed that Jordan was walking along the Lake Shore railroad siding
occupied by a draft of cars and lost his footing and fell into the creek bed
below, a distance of 20 feet His jaw was fractured in several places and the
side of his face badly lacerated. Jordan had been in Sharon, Saturday, and left
for Youngstown in the afternoon. He displayed a roll of bills in the latter
place amounting to $25. When found there was $1.85 in his pockets. The coroner
is investigating the case. Puddlers’
Wages Advanced. A
wage conference was held in Youngstown last Wednesday between James
H. Nutt, of the Iron Manufacturers' Association, and a committee
representing the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers and the
wage scale for November and December placed on a basis of 6-10 cents, which
makes the wages of puddlers $5.50, an increase of 50 cents per ton. This is the
highest price paid for puddling since 1880.
