Gillespie Filed Petition in Voluntary Bankruptcy at Scranton Yesterday . Yesterday Harold L. Gillespie, who has conducted a drug store in the Wheelock block on Lockhart street for the past fourteen months, filed a petition in bankruptcy in the United States court at Scran- ton. The petition was filed through his attorney, A. L. Laws, and yesterday afternoon the doors of the store were closed pending an appointment of a temporary trustee. Since coming to Sayre Mr. Gil- lespie has made many friends, all of whom will be sorry to learn of his embarassment. When seen this morning he said that his fail- ure was due to bad business condi- tions, He also said that his liabil- ities were mostly in the hands of out of town parties, and that none of his local creditors would suffer. This is the fourth failure to occur in Sayre within the past weeks. + BLACK DIAMOND'S SPEED An incident which occurred at Lockwood on Saturday afternoon well illustrates the fast rate of speed at which the Black Diamond | express, the pride of the Lehigh | officials, dashes through the coun- | try. Several passengers were seat- | ed in the station and a number! were on the platform outside. The | train sped by so fast that the suction of the train's speed threw | stones on the platform and one small one went through the win-| dow where the operator was seated. | On account of its size the stone) made a very small hole in the glass | Tools that were lying beside the | track were carried a distance of | severrl feet. One workman laid his pick and mittens and hat down by the side of the track and after the train had passed he found the pick a dozen or more feet from the place where he had left it but his mittens and hat are still missing, | he being unable to find them. WHEEL FELL ON FOOT Eben Holden, a resident of North River street, employed in the big shops, met with a painful and serious accident yesterday afternoon, which will lay him up for some time. Holden was engaged in’ shifting a number of heavy wheels and while rolling one of them it tipped over and fell on his left foot, causing an ugly look ing contusion and severely strain. ing the tendons of the foot. A local physician attended to the injury, after which Holden was removed to his home, TONY 15 STILL MISSING Tony Flatty, the Laquin Italian who stabbed Joe Dorfner, the Ger- man wha, is now lying in the Pack- er hospital, is still missing, but is believed to have gone to Elmira where there is a Jarge colony of the former's fellow countrymen, Officer Charles Garabrino of Elmi- ra has been put into possession of the facts concerning the attempt at murder and will make a strong effort to capture the man who was so handy with the stilletto. TAKEN TO PENITENTIARY Bert J. Woodruff, the man who pleaded guilty to robbing several residences in Towanda recently, and who received a sentence of seven and one-half years, was taken to the Eastern penitentiary yesterday by Sheriff Robinson and Constable Guy C. Hollon. COVERING THE NEWS W. T, Carey, ‘editor of The Val | four IK Michael Lynch Has Strange Hal- lucinations and Attempted to| Drive His Son's Family Out of Doors Michael Lynch, a man well along in years, is detained at the local police headquarters awaiting the arrival of the county commission- ers who are expected here this afternoon. Lynch has recently been living with his son, Joseph Lynch, a resident of North Wilbur avenue. The elder Lynch has for a few days showed strong evidence of insanity and yesterday attempted to drive the inmates of his son's home out of doors. Last night he | became so violent that Chief Walsh was notified. The officer went to the house and afterward consulted with a local physician. The latter advised that Lynch be takeit care of in order to prevent him harming himself or anyone else, and Officers Voegel and Repp were sent for him. Lynch's mind is filled with strange, fancies and it is feared that he is hopelessly insane. A com- mission will doubtless be appointed to enquire into his mental con- dition. Commissioners McNulty, Hark- ness and Kinney came here this afternoon and made an investiga- tion of Quinn's case. The unfor- tunate man will be taken to Dan- ville tomorrow. UNCLE JOSH SPRUCEBY One of the novel advertising devises used by the “Uncle Josh Spruccby” to attract attention is the daily parade of the “Hayseed” band. The band itself while of much better calibre than the usual travelling organizations, has its members attired, as the title indi- cates, in the usual characteristic dress of the New England rustic. Some dressed in their best as on circus day while some attired in stage boots and jeans appear fresh from “chores.” With “Uncle Josh” in the lead, umbrella and carpet sack in hand, they parade the prin- cipal streets and give a concert of choicest selections. The parade takes place at noon. . DANCE SATURDAY EVENING Harvey Gray will give the sev enth of his series of dances in Eighmey's hall on Saturday even- ing next. Last Saturday evening §5 couples were in attendance and everyone declares that they spent a most delightful evening. The interest in the dances increases and before the season is over it is exceedingly boubtful if the hall will hold the crowd. The opera house orchestra will furnish the music Saturday evening next and everybody is invited. MARRIED THIS AFTERNOON The marriage of George Bogart of Scranton and Miss Katherine Kerwick of Sayre occurred this afternoon at the parochial residence of the Church of the Epiphany, the Rev. J. L. Shanley officiating. The bride is one of Sayre's esti- mable young women, while the groom is a former employe of the boiler shops in this place and bas many friends who will extend to him and his bride their best wishes. APPOINTED REGISTRAR Attorney C. C. Yocum has been appointed by State Health Come missioner Dixon as registrar for the borough of Sayre. The duties of the registrar are to collect vital statistics for the Pennsylvania De- partment of Health. At a regular meeting of the National Bank of Sayre, held yes- Be .) F Unless Prompt Action 1s Taken Many Fruit Trees in This Sec- tion Will be Killed Before Another Winter There is probably as fine a selec tion of fruit of every kind in this valley as anywhere in the country and every householder has its full share. This fruit from the home trees is far superior to those grown for market only, not only because of the long distances which the latter is shipped but because the first question with the home fruit is quality, This fruit, however, is likely to be a thing of the past as there has lately appeared a pest which, while it is new in our local- ity, is old in other parts, It is San Jose Scale. It differs from all other fruit tree pests, some of which attack one kind of tree and some another, but rarely any one attack- ing more than two or three kinds. It also differs because of the others some attack the fruit, as codlin moth in apple and pear, and curcu lio in plum and cherry, resulting in inferior fruit, some attack the leaf as tent caterpillar and cankerworm on apple and slugs on cherry; all of the foregoing merely injure the fruit or weaken the tree. San Jose Scale, however, attacks nearly every kind of fruit tree, bush or vine and fruit. It also goes right to the fountain head in that it sucks the sap from the trunk and branches and does not stop with weakening the tree and injuring the fruit, but kills the tree. It is so small as to escape the ordinary observer, and, this together with the astonishing rapidity with which it multiplies and the difficulty in successfully combating it has caused it to be classed as the worst of all foes of the lover of fruit. The state of Pennsylvania has sent out demonstrators to every county where it is known to be and is doing all in its power to help to awaken the people to the neces- sity for prompt action. While there is scarcely a garden in Sayre or Athens in which there are not trees very badly infested, and some trees are already dead, most of them can probably be saved by prompt and well directed work in spraying and pruning. This must be done while the wood is dormant, as later the spray which will kill the scale will also badly injure the tree. It is not an exags geration to say that unless prompt work is done very many trees will be killed before another winter and inside of five years there will rot be one quart of fruit where now there is a bushel.

As time went on it became necessary to raise funds with which to liquidate the debt, and the merchants of the commun- ity were called upon to donate They were asked, in fact, to donate liberally. The majority of them loosed their purse strings, with the result that in a short time nearly | enough money was raised with which to pay the church incum- brance. One day the soliciting committee approached john Smith, a jeweler, and asked him to place his name on the subscription list with a fair sized amount written opposite his name. “I will give 85.00 if you will allow me to add something to the list,” he replied The permission was given and the following is what John Smith, jeweler, wrote “John Sauth, $5 00, Sears, Roebuck & Co., $0 00 Montgomery, Ward & Co., $000." On the following Sunday morn- ing the pastor of the church read the subscription list from the pul- pit. The congregation saw the point, and since then the members of that particular church have done their buying at home and there has been as a consequence a decided slump in the mail order business.
