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

MENTION OF SOME
MEN OF THE HOUR
GENERAL TASSENGEB AGENT
LEE IN THIS CITY.
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

his clerk and when Mr. Murray learned
of tlili he proceeded to bring matters
to a hend promptly by dismissing tho
clerk forthwith.
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

Br. H. N. Dunncll of this city has

His young wife and ho were In sad

Smith went to Belles' livery, as has

tho outfit for the day, stnttng ho was
going to Waverly.
Not acquainting , his wife of tho
manner he secured tho horse and car

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

and have It shipped to this city.

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

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

"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."
