Olive Delight, littla daughter of Webster and Belle Cooper, died Friday morning, Aug. 9th, 1895. Delight was only eight months old, yet she remained on earth long enough to taste its sorrows and feel its pain, long enough to 1111 the horns with ,joy and the hearts of the fond parents with hope for her future. From the first attack it was feared that she mus*. go, yet hor parents lingered over her vainly watching for some change that would tall them that their dai'ling would yet live. But Jesus was waiting to fold the little one to his bosom and while little Delight will be sadly missed by her papa, mama, grandma and little brother Dewitt, yet in the death of one so sweet and of such promise there is great sorrow but we know she is safe in the arms of Jesus in a more perfect home where parents and children shaU be reunited, and shall know even as they are known. The officiating minister, Rev. Nethercut administered words of sympathy and condolence and a large sympathizing procession followed the remains to Park cemetery, where the little form was laid to rest.
Many dear children have gone before, And are happy now on the golden shore Dear Delight ha» joined the cherub band,
And is holding the tender Sheperd's hand. M. W.

liev. E. rl. Scot! Succeeding at Kemlnllviile. Rev. E. J. Scott, who Las been preachind..nt Kendallvijle the past two years for the Methodist Protestaut Church, has succeeded admirably. A synopsis of his work is as follows:
Two years ago the circuit had 230 members on the roll. Since then thirty-six of these have either died or been dismis&ed. During the two years past there have been 212 received into membership. Two new churches have been built, one a frame, the other a brick, both of modern style. Another church has been remodeled and enlarged at quite an expense. The parsonage in the country has been exchanged for a parsonage in the city, well located, and a good barn has been built on the same. About ^-8,000 have been raised, which leaves but little indebtedness remaining unprovided for. Two years ago we had four churches and parsonage valued at §5,000, now we have five with a valuation of $10,000. Then we had 170 Sunday-schools now we have five denominational schools with 422 scholars, besides two other schools under the superintendency of and management of members of our church. Two years ago we had three Endeavor societies now we have seven, with a membership of 192 two of these are inactive at present for want of a superintendent. Other important advancements have been made and altogether the outlsok for the future is very hopeful. The church desires Mr. Scott's return this year.
The absence of the foreman of the RE" PUBLICAN office Howard Branham on account of the death of his mother and the illness of Frank Pitts our job printer has thrown things out of the usual order this week but by extra effort on the part of others we have got through allright.
Don't forget the Greenfield fair next week. Attend at least two or three days. Greenfield always has a good fair. This year it will be better than ever.
The banks will close at noon on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday on account of the fair next week. .1^

DANGLED IH THE AIR
Demented Negro Who Strangled a Rich Man
HANGS SUSPENDED FROM A TREE
John Anderson Was Caught on the Public Koad Near New Richmond—A Maddened Blob Gathers and the Wretch Is Suspended From a Tree in the J'rescnco of the
Entire Population of the Community. NEW RICHMOND, O., Aug. 22.—Franklin J. Fridman, generally regarded as the wealthiest man in Clermont county, and president of the Fridman Lumber company, president of the First National bank and president of the Sliain-Rob-erte Furniture company, all of New Richmond, O., was this afternoon assaulted 011 the road near here by a negro named John Anderson and literally choked to death. Anderson has been for a long time regarded as demented. The cause of the assault is not known, unless it was for robbery.
The stranglcr fled, but was soon captured and locked up in the New Richmond jail.
The news of the atrocious crime spread like wildfire, and soon the jail was surrounded by a howling mob, determined to take the life of the slayer, notwithstanding he was crazy.
Mr. Fridman, his victim, was 76 years of age, and leaves 11 children. As soon as Anderson had been placed in jail a messenger was sent for the sheriff, the plan being to get the negro to Batavia before a mob could be organized. Anderson was led from the jail by the marshal, but no sooner had he passed out of the door than he was seized by a crowd of men who had collected immediately after the murderer had been placed in jail. There were cries of "Lynch him! Lynch him!" and a stout rope having been secured, the mob began to move toward the npper end of the town, gaining in numbers as they proceeded. A halt was made at the corner of Avenue and Washington streets. By this time the crowd numbered 800 men. The rope was thrown over a limb about 20 feet from the ground. The noose was placed around his neck, and then he was told to pray, as his life was but of a few minutes.
Anderson asked to be allowed to say a few words, and on being told to go ahead, said that he was justified in killing Fridman, as the latter had robbed him of millions of dollars.
Those were the last words he spoke, for the next moment a hundred willing hands laid hold of the rope and the body of the negro was pulled up fully 10 feet above the roadway.
The rope was then tied to the tree and the body allowed to hang. The crowd dispersed, and 10 minutes after the rope had been thrown over the limb there was no evidence of a mob near the tree except the body dangling from the limb.
Anderson was about 40 years of age, single, and a whitewasher and paperhanger by occupation. He has been I confined in the insane asylum 011 two different occasions, and had shown I signs of insanity in the past few weeks, He was a giant in stature and very strong.
The lynching occurred at 4 o'clock. Groups of excited citizens arc gathered around the corners discussing tho affair. None of the participants in the affair 1 were disguised.
All Mi*. Fridman's children live near their parents, exeoping William M. Fridman, who is a member of the law firm of Dempsey & Fridman, in tho Pickering building. Cincinnati., and lives on Westminster avenue, Walnut Hills. Mr. Fridman, the deceased, was a contemporary of old Nicholas Longworth, David Sinton, David Gribson and many other of Cincinnati's most wealthy citizens. They all started life together many years ago, when property was purchased here for a mere song. He was a very eccentric old gentleman, and did not belong to any secret society of any kind. He is estimated to be worth about :?'2.1(),000, which all goes to his immediate relatives.
EATS NOT APPROVE D.
Some of the Striking minors in Michigan Threaten Jiloodslied. ISHPKMING, Mich., Aug. 2.3.—The Lake Superior Iron company has pulled the fires from under the boilers at its No. 7 workings and the mine began to fill with water yesterday.
Some of the strikers at Negaunee have notified the management of the Buffalo group of mines that if they attempted to stop the pumps there would be bloodshed, as the strikers did not propose to allow the company to tako such decisive steps toward a general close-down. This threat is not approved of by the union and was precipitated by a few irresponsible persons.
Supposed Klood Stains Provo lo He Rust. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.—Duraut did not own the blood stained knife that was found in a barn at Walnnt Creek, where lie spent the night before his arrest. The knife belonged to Lieutenant Boardman of the signal corps, and the supposed blood stains proved to be rust. When the knife was first discovered it was thought to have belonged to Durant, and that it was the weapon with which Minnie Williams was killed.
Victims of the Explosion Laid to Rest. PITTSBURG, Aug. 22.—The funerals of the eight victims of the explosion at the Edgar Thomson steel works, of Carnegie & Company, at Braddock, Tuesday, occurred yesterday, and were attended by large crowds. All of the injured are at the Mercy hospital in this
city and are reported to be resting easy, but a number are expected to die. The damage to the furnace was not as great as at first reported and will be covered by 16,000.
Settlement Kxpoctad.
PITTSBURG, Aug. 23.—The American Flint Glassworkers' association and manufacturers were in session Wednesday, considering the wage scales of the pressed iron, mould and engraving departments. The ohanges demanded by the workmen are eff minor importance and a settlement is oonfldenfly ezoected.
