ease. A sequel to the siunll-nox cage, which
kept tho village or Wuymnrt quaran
tined for several weeks, Is the taking
down of Fred Woodley, a young man
who attended school In Wtiyninrt.
Woodley Is sick at his home in Alco,
Damascus township, Wayne county. Ho
went home 111 about n week ago. Dr.
CuscUer, of Nurrowsburg, who was
called to attend him, diagnosed Wood
ley's aliment as small-pox. Dr. Dtuln
bcrre, of Honesdale, who has had ex

A YOUTH CAUGHT
ROBBING A STORE
Hubeit Brcnnan, of South Main
Strcot Hill, Accidentally Discov
ered by Merchant C. W. Scamans
in His Store on Church Street.
Was Hiding Under Cash Drawer.
The Boy Arrested Has Been in
Various Scrapes Before.
Hubert Ilrennnn, of South Main
street hilt, a lad not more than fifteen
years old, was caught hist night rob
bing the grocery stole of C. X. Seaman
on North Church street.
Hrennan was accidentally discovered
In the store by Mr, Seaman, himself,
who returned to the store about 9
o'clock, to balance his cash. When he
appionched the cash drawer, tho pro
prietor noticed the lad almost under
his feet. He was trying his best to
draw himself back tinder the counter,
where the cash drawer whs located, in
oidor to escape notice. Mr. Seaman
nabbed thp youngster. His pockets
were filled with cigars and some sweet
meats. If-left undisturbed it was his
Intention to tackle tile cash drawer,
w hich would h:tve 'yielded good results
as the day's rcceijit were there.
Mr. .Seaman marched the youthful
burglar out of the -tore, and meeting
Patiolmdn Bell handed him over. Tlie
boy was locked In a cell in the city sta
tion and will be given a healing this
morning.
Hrcnnun gained an entrance to the
stoie in approved burglar style. He
sought the rear of the building and af
ter surveying tlie ground, decided on
breaking a window as the most effec
tive means. lie smashed a pane,
breaking enough glass to admit his
small body. As there are no tenants
close to where he cracked the window
the noise of the scattering glass was
not heard. Once inside, he made for
the tilings that were mo't attractive to
him, tobacco and sweet meats, stuffing
his pockets until the bulged. The cash
drawer was about to be tampered with
when Mr. Seamans came on tlie scene
and brought about a climax that was
wholly unexpected and unlooked for by
Brennnn.
The boy had nothing to say and did
no whimper when Mr. Seaman and
later Patrolman Bell took him in
charge and locked him up.
Brennnn has shown thieving propen
sities for the past year or more. He
has been associated with a crowd of
youngsters who have broken Info sev
eral stores, making away with it load
of toysTvand sweets. Tlie police look
upon Biennaii as the leader of the
gang. In fact his companions poached
on him as such last summer when tho
fair store was robbed. Brennan was
arrested at the time, but, with the oth
ers, he was allowed to go on the prom
ise of his parents that his behavior
would be corrected and regulated by
them.
Several weeks ago Brcnnan ran
away from home, going to Wllkes
I'.arre, where he was taken and re
turned to his parents, Mr. and Mrs,
Michael Brennan. . A few weeks later
he ran away again, but came home
himself within a few days. Stops will
probably' pr. taken to have.' the lad com
muted to, fi" reforma'tory.

son, and one of our highly esteemed

BASE BALL FRIDAY.
Alerts, of Electric City, to Get a
Drubbing on Duffy's Eleld.
Ho! for Duffy's field on Friday!
Tho Alerts, of Scranton, wnnt a drub
bing. At least they wnnt a game with
tho Crescents, which means tho same
thing. They will get tho ga'me and tho
drubbing, maybe, on Duffy's Held on
Friday afternoon.
This will bo a good opportunity for
Cnrbondale cranks to appreciate a live
ly game of ball. The Crcsc'ent3 are In
splendid trim, and the Alerts, wc are
told, are likewise In condition for snap
py playing. Wo hope so, at any rate,
for we would regret to see the Cres
cents waste their efforts on a weak
team. It Is incidentally hoped that
there will he a generous response to
the offering on Friday, as the expense
of bringing tho Scranton team here is
considerable.
PETER L. NEARY FAILS.
An Old Carbondalian the First to
Succumb Under tho Strike.
The agitation of the coal strike and
tho strike Itself was responsible In a.
largo measure for tho assignment yes
terday of Peter L. Neary, of South Main
street, who has conducted, not a large,
but fairly profitable business In Cnr
bondale over fifteen years. Mr. Neary's
business being largely credit, he found
It Impossible to realize on his debts to
meet the Importunities of his creditors.
The assignment was made to C. N.
Bronson, Lynch & Bronson, T. J. Kelly
and C. Dltchburn's Sons, In trust for
themselves and other creditors.
Installation of Officers.
At a regular meeting of the St. Aloy
sius Total Abstinence society, Tuesday
evening, tlie following olllcers were In
stalled: President, T. J. Gilhool: vice
president, William Burke,; recording
secretary, James Conerton; treasurer,
Frank Nealon.
President Gilhool, on taking the chair,
delivered his inauguration speech, which
was received with repeated applause.
Ho reviewed the history of the society
and impressed upon the members that
by their elforts alone was success to
be attained.
The regular order of business was
then taken up, and the entertaining
committee was instructed to prepare an
entertainment for the next regular
meeting.
There Are Others.
The Wayne Independent of Wednes
day reprints under the caption of "Car
bondule Appreciates," the "Public Eye"
mention given In The Tribune to Geo,
F. James, of the Cnrbondale Cycle club,
with tho following preface:
"It Is safe to say that all of Carbon
dale's best citizens are natives of
Wayne county. Among the number Is
George James, son of John P. James,
of Honesdale. The Scranton Tribune
said of him tho other day," etc.
Wo would suggest that there are
enough of the "best" citizens of Car
bondule to be passed around among
more than the splendid Wnyne county
contribution. Some of our Honesdule
friends have met them,
Miss Gerrity Resigns.
Miss Mary Gerrity resigned, this week,
