NOTES OF A VISIT TO HONESDALE Ono of the most delightful trips on n warm summer's day for residents of Northeastern Pennsylvania is a ride over the Delaware and Hudson railroad from Scranton to Honesdale. heaving the Lackawanna avenue station the Journey to Carbondale Is made In a short time, where the traveler changes cars. Instead of riding In the open cars up the numerous planes of tho old gravity road, which, uy the way, has been abandoned, the passengers are taken around the "Last Chance" route, and the train is Jerked up the mountains at a rapid rate of speed. Along this route the scenery Is pic turesque, but the dirt and dust en countered Is anything but agreeable. Numerous small bodies of water are to be seen, and some rich lands, and there Is an abundance of apple orchards along tho line. The novelty of a ride up the planes has practically been done awuy with except between Far view and Waymait. Fnrvlew, the summit of the Mooslc mountains, is still one of tho most delightful places in this region to vis It, but there seems to be a "something" lacking to popularize tho place. Per haps It is tho hotel which has been contemplated for many years, but nev er has materialised. The walks and drives art pleasurable, and tho scenery Is superb, but there needs be more life there to attract the visitor. The gravity system from Fnrvlew to Waymart Is still In use, and simply serves a reminder of tho days when tho numberless planes were ascended In quick succession. The scenery from Waymart. through Prompton, Keew's and other villages, to IIonetdale, Is n panorama in Itself and Is only dimmed by the miserable surroundings of tho Honesdale station, wherp the train passes over the old cunal and enters Into the heart of tho coal yard. But one soon forgets this scene, when the main thoroughfare of Wayne county's seat is reached. Hero Is found several attractive buildings, particular ly the First National bank building, which Is a stone structure of modern design. There Is no hum of industry there, not even u trolley car mars the silence of the peaceful little place, whore 7.CC0 people live and have their being. The old-fashioned stage coach Is still In use there, and occasionally the observer Is confronted with a real bicycle girl. But the one nartlcuicr spot In Honesdale, where the tired traveler may find re&t and comfort Is Jn the pretty little park, situated op poslto the Allen house. Tho till tre.-s and well kept lawns and walks are pleasant greetings to tho eye. There lo one of two things In Hones dale that Scranton cannot boast of, the other Is a real live base ball team, whlrh Is liberally supported by tho sldents, and particularly by tho la dles, who outnumber tho mala patrons two to one In attendance at tho games. Tho players aro a gentlemanly lot of young athletes, mostly from the vor- I lous colleges, nnd aro well versed in the science of the national (fame. The writer attended the exhibition on Sntutdiiy at tlio park, which Is sit uated within walking distance of the hotels. Shortly nfter the name start ed, the first unnatural oecurnnee was the tontine of the whistle at the silk mill which Is located near the ball grounds. It was a gentle reminder of th days when Arthur Frothlnghnm's Arcade eallopo was wont to wake up the Bursts nt the. Westminster every morning. 'Tlio next event, which was not on the piogrumme, was the spectacle of the base ball manager imbllcly denounc ing; the town nowspnper for certain things published which said manoger look exception to, nnd the cancelling of their free passes to the ball sanies on account of said "certain things." Hut the most humorous sight, from the writer's point of view, was the ven erable ex-Judge Jlnm dodging a base ball, There are two distinguished gentlemen by the name of Hum in Honesdale. one being the editor of tho weekly paper and the other ex-asso-elate Judge. Both gentlemen were attired In black, with long frock coats, and each wore a wlde-rlmmcd soft felt hat. Their silvery locks were visible under neath the broad rims, nnd their gen eral nppearunce reminded one of the old Kentucky statesman of by-gono days. The brothers were standing near the home plate, when one of the plnyets fouled the ball in the direction of the gentleman. The editor, strange lo say, turned his back on the ball and tan while the Judged ducked and fell sprawling on tlu ground, rolling over and over un til he regained his feet. With a majestic wave of his hand, amid the laughter of the assemblage, the Judge signalled the umpire, exclaiming, "It novo; touched me," nnd the game went on. Tlio manager took occasion to an nounce ut the close of the came that "the lady friends of the club would tender the boys a, social In the town hall in the evening, and serve all who attended with ice cream and cake." Imagine an ice cream social for a W. 15. Hughes. PERSONAL Jlr. and Mrs. Jeff Freeman have re turned from Lake Cayuga. Mrs. 1'. A Scott and daughter have re. turned from a vls.lt to Scott. Pa.

He Is One of the New Officials of the Lackawanna Company and This Is His First Visit to Scranton Much Pleased With the Progressive Spir it of the City Bishop Mooro in the City Attorney R. J. Murray's Resignation Honor Accorded to Dr. H. N. Dunnoll. General Passenger Agent T. W. Lee of the Lackawanna railroad company, a recont appointee of President Trues dale arrived In the city Saturday night. Ho Is stopping at tho Jermyn, nnd ex iiectn to remain In the city about a month. It is also his intention to travel over the entire system about every thirty days that he mny be thoroughly ncqualntcd with every feature of his department. Circulars will be Issued today an nouncing the appointment of W. H. Hunter, formerly railroad editor of the Chlengo Times-Herald as head if tho pi ess bureau In connection with tin; Lackawanna's passenger depart ment. Mr. Hunter's appointment was made several weeks ago, and this will be tho first official announcement of the fact. His office is distinctly a now ono on the Lackawanna road which has not heretofore devoted much at tention to advertising the advantages nnd attractions of the line. It will be Mr. Hunter's business to spread the fame of the 'Lackawanna broad cast. He Is described as n tialned, nb'tt newspaper man who wields n very graceful pen. This Is Passenger Agent Lee's first visit to the city and he expresses him self as much pleased with It and tho progressive spirit he discerns here. He Is a genial, plensant man, 40 yeais of age, who has been In the railroad bus iness since he was seventeen yeuts of age when lit entered the service of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad com pany as a telegraph operator. Later he was promoted to elation agent, gen eral agent, train dispatcher, yard mas ter, and linally traveling passenger and ft eight agent. In 1881 he became traveling passen ger and freight agent for the Burling ton road, with headquurters at Indian apolis. His next promotion was to the head of tho press buieau in Chicago, nnd later chief clerk In tho general pr sen ger agent's ofllee. Five years later found him general passenger agent of the Lake Erie and Western railroad company. Two years later he accept ed a similar appointment with the Ore gon Hullioad nnd Navigation com pany, which position he held for four years, when he was promoted to tho superintendence- of the water lines of the company, having complete charge of the navigation work. Mr. Lee two years ago wns elected assistant chairman of the Western Passenger association which position he retulned until his recent selection by the Lackawanna company. Bishop John Moore, of St. Augustine, Florida, is a guest nt the Episcopal residence on Wyoming avenue. He has I'-en in charge of that diocese f.r over twenty yeats and his object in lornlng north was to raise money to support missions nnd schools In his diocese nnd to wipe out the debt on his Cathedral. Some few years ago the Cathedial, which was one of the old est In the country, and one of the mot I'tf active buildings In St. Augustine for vlslteis, was almost entirely de stroyed bv fire. There was a general request upon tho part of the people of St. Augustlno that the Ci.thedral be rebuilt to cor respond to its appearance before the fire and In deference to the wishes ex pressed so generally by the people of that city Bishop Moore had the old building faithfully reproduced thougn the new building Is somewhat larger to meet the demands of the congrega tion that now attends the Cathedral. Tho rebuilding of the Cathedral and tin support of the schools nnd missions of the diocese has been a heavier drain on his people during tho last years than they can well bear on account of crop failures and other causes of de pression in Florida and Bishop Moore therefore decided to come North nnd state his case to the Catholics of this part of the country. A collection for tho benefit of his diocese will be taken up at tho Cathedral next Sunday. Attorney R. J. Murray, who has re signed his ofllco as secretary of the board of health, has filled that ofllco with much satisfaction for two years. He feels that ho ought to have the privilege of running the office accoid Ing to his own ideas Inasmuch ns he has to pay for office help out of his own pocket. He receives n salary of $600 per year and If he desires any as sistance has to ray for It himself. Some time ago Mr. Murray decided that It would bo a greater convenience for him If his office clerk wns a sten ographer and typewriter. The young lady then tilling the office of clerk did not possess these qualifications and Mr. Murmy served notice upon her that she would be ut liberty after September 1. Sho did not want to bo at liberty and told the momberd of tho board of health so. They talked of Fancy Boneless, 15c, 1,75 dozen. As good with bones, 12c. 'Full halves, 10c, worth 25c.

This made severnl of the members angry nnd they asserted that the clerk must bo reinstated. Mr. Murray dis puted their right to dictate to him In tho matter of employing ofllco help and rather than have any trouble over a, $i500 a year position ho resigned, only nsklng that It take effect us soon ub ac cepted. Mr. Murray succeeded Attor ney Walter E. Brlggs In tho ofllee. Br. H. N. Dunncll of this city has been selected as ono of tho supremo representatives of the Knights of Py. thins of Pennsylvania. As only three rcpiesentatlves are chosen from this stnto the honor Is ono of uncommon distinction. Dr. Dunncll has for years been ono of the most prominent members of the Knights of Pythias and has been hon ored with the highest ofllee in tho Bltt of the Knights of Pennsylvania. FRED SMITH EXPLAINS. Tells Why He Stole Llvorymnu Belles' Horse and Carriage Very Anxious to Get to Newark. Fred C. Smith, of thin city, who wns arrested Ht Newark, N. J., for the theft of a horse and carriage belong ing to Liveryman Belles, nf this pity, tells un Interesting story to tho police of that city of his escupade. His young wife and ho were In sad cliottmstances, without money and friends. At Newark she hns u grand mother, nnd If they could reach there, alt would bo well. Transportation by train was not to bo considered, they being penniless. Becoming desperate. Smith went to Belles' livery, as has been told in The Tilbune, nnd engaged tho outfit for the day, stnttng ho was going to Waverly. Not acquainting , his wife of tho manner he secured tho horse and car riage, they started for New Jersey, making the trip In three days. Ho traded horses twice, once at Portland, this state, where he received forty cents, besides his new horse. The second deal was made on a turnpike near Washington, N. J., he also re ceiving a small sum In the bargain. Benching Newntk, Smith offered the outfit for sale, for J40. Ho will be brought back to this city nnd held to await trial. Detective John Molr will leave for Newark, when the requisi tion papers are received from New Jersey's governor. Liveryman Belles has gone to Now aik to Identify Smith, and will go to Portland where his horse was traded, and have It shipped to this city. TWO FIBES IN SAME HOUSE. Second Was Followed by Disastrous Consequences. A lire broke out In the double house owned by John Madlgun at 427 and 429 Wheeler avenue at 9 o'clock Saturday evening. Tho building was occupied by Mr. Madlgan nnd Attorney William Vok oleck. Tho blaze started In the cel lar of Mr. Vokoleck's side. Mrs. Vokoleck gave the alarm and the central city companies responded. Mrs, Madlgan was very ill but was safely removed to a neighbor's house. The fire was got under control be. fore any seilous damage was done though the side of Attorney Vokol eck was badly scorched. The damage amounted to about $200. At six o'clock yesterday morning tho building was again on lire, and an alarm was sent In. The efforts of the hose companies were unavullng, the entire building being burned to tho ground. Messrs. Mndlgun and Vokol eck lost most of their household goods, which were covered by insur ance. The loss to the building Is not known. m TWENTY YEABS AFTEB.

BOYCOTT WAS UP FOR CONSIDERATION CENTBAL LABOR UNION GAVE PLAN ITS ArPBOVAL. Arrangements for Labor Day Cele bration Wero Also Considered. Thcro Is to Bo a Parade in the Morning of All tho Labor Organi zations, and Later in tho Day a Demonstration Will Tako Place in Laurel Hill Park nt Which Speech es Will Bo Delivered. The Central Labor union hold a regular monthly meeting yesterday af ternoon in Carpenters' hull. Tli" meet ing was especially well attended, over one hundred delegates representing labor unions throughout the city and county being present. The most Interesting feature or sub ject considered was thoi boycott. which has been Inaugurated by the striking members ol the Building Trades coun cil. A delegation fiom the council was present and presented for the consideration of those presqnt the various grlevnnces held against those merchants placed on the blacklist. These grievances were held In some eases on account of business connec tions with firms afllllatcd with the Builders' Exehnnge. In tho majority of cases, however, tho grievances were due to tho meiehants huvlng al lowed scab labor to be employed on woik being done for them. ONLY COUBSE OPEN. The delegates pirsent seemed per fectly satisfied that the grievances were Just nnd that tho boycott was the only course left open for the "ttlkers, ns they unanimously decided to pledge the siippoit of the vat ions unions represented. This means that 20,000 union men In this city and throughout the county will boycott tho flims on the utiikors' list. It wus also decided that all beer browed by brewers who letused to have their horses shod by union horse shoer, was to be boycotted. This action was taken at the request of the delegates fiom the horseshoors' unions whoeomplalned that iK-veruI huge brewers were not having this line of work done by union help. The next question considered was the proper celebration of Labor day. The principal cause for tho large number of delegates present was the circular sent out during the week by President Martin Flaherty asking the unions desirous of having n parade to send delegates. The parade question was put to n vote nnd while a few were not In favor of the Idea, those who were easily carried tho day. PARADE IN THE MORNING. It was decided to have the parade In tho morning, starting nt 10 o'clock, so ns not to Interfere with the letter carriers' parade in the afternoon. Tha unions nfllliated with the Building Trades' council are to be given tho place of honor In the first division. The organized miners, who ar. prac tically a new organization, nro to have the right of lino In the second divi sion, while the miscellaneous trades are to take places In the third divi sion. TFc final arrangements for the parade were left In the hands of n special committee. There will also be a picnic held nt Laurel Hill park during the afternoon nnd evening. A grand labor rally Is to be a feature of this and a number of the prominent leaders In the pies cnt strike are to deliver addresses A committee consisting of .1. A. Price, William R. Evans, Wllllnm O'Connell, William R. Jones and J. F. Hainmls was appointed to look after the de tails of the picnic. CARRIAGE BADVY WRECKED. John Thornton Held Responsible for the Damage. Dr. J. W. Walker and James Doyle of Bellcvuo had a narrow escape from htIoub injury yesterday at noon. The. doctor wns coming back from Dun more where he had been attendins a patient and James Doylo was in the fjrrlage with him. Near the county Jail on North Wash ington avenue they heard a horses com ing along at a furious rate of speed behind them. When within fifteen feet of them the driver turned the horse In tho direction of the doctor's car riage. The latter saw that a collision could not be nvolded and turned h's horse toward the curbstone and yell ing to his companion to Jump did the same himself. The doctor succeeded In reachl'ig the sidewalk with a badly bru Sid knee, but Doyle was unable to leave the carriage in time and sustained se vere bruises and a wrenched ankle. Tin horse dashed Into tho rear of the doc tor's carriage and that vehlclo was almost completely wrecked. Tho man who caused the damage, without wait ing to see the result of his work, con tinued toward town at a rapid pace. It was learned that his name Is John Thornton, and at tho instance of Dr. Men's, Women's, Boys' and Girls'. Reducing, clear ing and rearranging our own stock.

CONDITION OF THE COAL TRADE What the Engineering and Mining Journal Says About It. Tho Engineering nnd Mining Jour nal uf Saturday had the following of the condition of tho anthrnclto coal trade: "In the west the demnnd for nnthrn elto Is as strong ns ever, dealers an ticipating a great fall and whiter business, nnd In Chicago territory tho trade Is In better shape tbnn for sev eral years. The receipts of coal at upper Inke ports, though nhead of last year's figures at this time do not seem able to keep docks supplied with all the sizes wanted. Lake freight rates apparently will stay up well, In fact September freights down the lakes will be the highest In some years. This being the cnise, It Is likely that n lot of coal will have to go forward by tall. "Trade at points between Buffulo and Chicago Is reported In very good shape. In the east, business Is bound to drag a llttk for a few works. So far as reported, all tho principal pto duclng companies cancelled all or ders for coal nt the Juno Azures not filled on Aug. 1, and anybody that wnnta conl now Is expected to pay the 25 cents ndvnnce. As New York nnd Philadelphia are so rear the coal fluids that coal can be got forward quickly, dealers will probably wait nnd see how firmly this :r, cent advance Is maintained If no orders come In for n month or more. Shipments to Sound ports and points beyond Cape Cod have been very heavy of late. "At the collieries we hear of spor adic labor troubles and more or los unrest among employes. Still It looks now as though the year would go with out any general dlstuibance. ' Pro ductlon continues rather heavy for this season of tho year, and no doubt considerable coal has gone Into storage at Eastern points. Quotations are lirm at the July pi Ices."
