A Ply Yontk Borrow Momj'hI Thsa
Stlps tfc Toa. . .
A roiin who was In this city lasfweek
and who said he wa about to embark
In business U missing;, and with hint
.a turn of money which he borrowed
from a South Main street man.
( The man, who (rave hts name as
Goodwin, was of medium slse, with
black hair and eyes and was quite
Rdod looking. He engaged rooms at
the home of Prank Becker, on South
Main street. He told Mr. Becker he
was going to establish an auctioneering
'business and that he had rented the
corner store of the Rogers building, on
Eighth avenue. His stock was on the
way and with the assistance of Mr.
Becker he engaged half a dozen young
ladles and several boys. He was also
having made for htm at Kinback's six
.tables for the display of the goods.
. Goodwin seemed to be very generous
and made many friends by treating
them to cigars and other things. Their
opinion, however, was changed when he
left with some of his landlord's money
and several unpaid bills.
; The scheme for getting the money
was a good one.. With several dray
men waiting outside, Goodwin came
Into the place and asked Mr. Becker
for a loan of $15, saying that the bank
was not yet open and he had no way of
.paying his freight bills. Not suspect
ing anything wrong Mr. Becker let him
have the money and he left the store
.and that was the last seen of him. Mr.
Becker has kept a sharp lookout for
.the. man, as. has also several of his
'creditors, but no trace has yet been
found. Besides the money he borrowed
his board bill was unpaid and he pur
chased a dollar's worth of olivettes on
credit Just before leaving,

HONSSDALE .
Honesdale was visited by another
conflagration Tuesday night. The barn
of Patrick Weir, fronting on the tow
path. Just outside of the borough, was
completely destroyed. Mr. Weir sta
bles horses for the canal men and has
two large barns, one on each side of his
house. The one destroyed was on the
lower side and was not In use. A large
quantity of hay and other property was
destroyed. The adjoining property was
saved by forming a bucket brigade and
by using a stream of water from the
hose of the Florence silk mill. The fire
men met with considerable difficulty In
stretching .their hose and the lirst
length burst at the nozzle. At the same
time the fire was burning at the lower
end of the town a bright blaze Illum
ined the upper part of Honesdale. A
small shanty used as a hanglng-out
place for some boys furnished the fuel
for this conflagration. Another Hones
dale barn destroyed with a blaze in the
opposite part of the town at the same
hour and same minute, and without any
apparent cause as to the origin, again
points the finger of accusation toward
an unknown Incendiary.
While on her way to the fire, Miss
Julia Coyne fell Into a chute at the
Union dock and was Injured Internally.
The chutes are about 15 to 20 feet deep,
and are used for dumping coal pre
paratory to loading cars. In the dark
ness she missed her footing and had a
terrible fall Into a chute partly filled
with lump coal. She was badly bruised
about the body. Miss Coyne was car
ried to the home of John Bracey, near

It was Impossible to take her home.

like that I"
; "No."
"Never hurt In the service?"
