So Says Secretary Kennedy of
the New York State Railwa
Commission :
Secretary John Kennedy of the
New York State Railway Commis-
sion says that no official notice of
the intention of the Erie Railroad
company to build a trolley road
from Binghamton to Coming has
been received by the commission,
Mr. Kennedy is also authority for
the statement that the Erie in order
to build a trolley line will have to
bring the project before the com-
mission. While the company
would not have to obtain the per-
mission of the commission to build
a line over its own right of way, it
would be necessary to get official
structed through willages an
towns. Mr. Kennedy is inclined
to look upon the story of the Erie
building a trolley line as mythical,
and says it is a matter of surprise
to men in railroad circles that the
Erie did not name the proposed
road as onc of the reasons in ob-
jecting to the Elmira & Corning
elecric lines. Another hearing on
the Chemung Valley Electric Com-
pany's proposition will be held
before the commission at Albany
on’ January 10. It is expected that
on that date the matter will be
definitely settled. :

WILL 60 WEST
C J. Gary, who has copducted a
business in Sayre for several years,
expects to leave for the west on
the 15th of the coming month.
Mr. Cary's trip to the west will be
made on account of Mrs. Cary's
health, She is suffering from a
throat affection which it is hoped
the dry altitudes of Colorado will
greatly benefit. In contemplation
of the trip Mr. Cary has not been
entering into contracts for work
since the middle of the summer
and it is his intention to tempora-
rily suspend business here until he
has had an opportunity to test the
climate conditions of the west with
reference to Mrs. Cary's health.
Mr. and Mrs. Cary will probably
go from Sayre to Pueblo, Colorado,
and at the latter point will doubt-
less be able to determine upon a
location which will be the most
likely to give beneficial results.
They will be gone several months.
The citizens of Sayre among whom
Mr. and Mrs. Cary have many
friends, will wish for her speedy
recovery and early return to Sayre
restored to health,
TRANSFERRING OPERATORS
Commencing on Monday next
the telegraph operatorgpon the old
D.S. & S. railroad will trans-
ferred from Drifton to Superin-
tendent Gildroy's office in Hazel-
ton. The transfer of the operators
is taken as an indication that event-
ually all the engines and crews
now stationed at Drifton will also
be transferred to Hazelton as it is
claimed that by this arrangement
they can be directed more expedi-
tiously.
AN OPEN WINTER
The old resident who has kept
tabs on the weather record for the
past half century predicts an open
winter. The warm min of last
night leads him to make several
observations. He says that there
will be no snow to speak of and
that the ice men are likely to
experience considerable trouble in
harvesting enough for next sum-
mer’s use.

Father-in-law Institutes Crimi. |
nal Proceedings Against Son. |
in-law to Recover Certain
Household Goods |
The case of George Presher of]
Smithboro against his son-in-law, |
Thomas Randolph of Litchfield
township, was given aa airing in|
Justice Gay's court this forenoon. |
Presher, who is well along in years
and a veteran of the Civil war, |
charges Randolph with larceny by |
bailce. The property involved is |
a quantity of household goods to
the value of g212, which Presher |
alleges belongs to him and which
he charges Randolph with unlaw- |
fully withholding. It appears
according to the complainant that |
about two months ago Randolph
induced Presher and -his wife to
remove to the former's home in|
Litchfield. The couple brought |
their household “goods with them,
but in a few short weeks living
with their son-in-law was not found |
to be desirable on the part of the |
latter. Accordingly he sugdested |
that Presher and his wife go to the |
home of a relative in Smithboro. |
This arrangement was finally|
agreed upon, but when Presher|
wanted his household goods Ran- |
dolph, it is alleged, refused to give |
them up, claiming that Presher |
‘owed him for moving. Presher, |
(finding his son-in-law obdurate, |
| came to Sayre and instituted lar- |
ceny proceedings through Attor-
| ney C. C. Yocum
led the defendant and before any
| evidence was submitted a settle- |
ment was effected by Randolph |
agreeing to return Preshers’ prop- |
erty and cach -side to pay their
own witnesses,

ENJOYABLE SOCIAL EVENT
A most enjoyable social event
was given in the Movanho club
rooms last night, at which about
one hundred were present. Dance
ing was. enjoyed during the early
hours of the evening, followed by

Company has offered $300 for the

Rev. Ira W. Bingham, Retiring
Pastor of the Baptist Church,
Appropriately Remembered by
His Brother Odd Fellows
Sayre Lodge, No. 1090, 1. 0. O.
F., held a meeting last night of
more than ordinary interest, and
the event will long be remembered
by those who were fortunate
enough to be present. In accord:
ance with plans previously made,
Athens lodge, No. 165, sent their
excellent degree team to Sayre to
confer the third degree upon three
members. The work of the visit-
ing team was beyond criticism and
under the able direction of Degree
Master Leon K. Lane the work
was performed in a most exemplary
manner. During the conferring of
the degree the members of the
team were vigorously applauded,
and when they had finished they
received many compliments from
the Sayre members. The Sayre
Odd Fellows have an excellent
degree team and therefore know
what good work is like.
Following the conferring of the
degree Past Grand Crayton on
request took his place at the.head
of the hall and in a few well chosen
words proceeded to present the
Rev. Ira W. Bingham, pastor of
the Baptist church, an elegant seal
covered and handsomely printed
teachers’ Bible, as a slight token of
the love and esteem in which he is
held by his brother Odd Fellows
Mr. Bingham's departure will be
members in the order of Odd Fel-
lows He has been a valuable
member and the entire order will
unite in wishing him prosperity
and happiness in his new field of
labor. He received the gift with a
few appropriate remarks, in the
course of which he assured those
of whom he was about to take
leave of his interest in their future
welfare.
Following the close of the ses-
sion light refreshments were served,
B. L. Lewis being chosen toast-
master on acclamation. The
Athens Odd Fellows acquitted
themselves admirably in making
the. responses. The bill of fare
presented, while not over elaborate,
still it consisted of various delica-
cies and staples. The coterie of
young men who acted as waiters
was a feature, the speed and excel-
lence of their serving being noted
and favorably commented upon
by both the regular and visiting
members. The committee who
had charge of securing the refresh-
ments also received various res
marks. The wee small hours saw
some of the members still eating,
and it is said that the rain which
caught them unprepared is what
kept them in the hall, but this is
disputed. Oa the whole the Odd
Fellows are pleased with the result
of last night's meeting, and Athens
and Sayre will come closer togeth-
hereafter owing to the impetus
given at the social meeting of last
evening.

NOWLES CAPTURED
IT WESTFIELD
Towanda Horse Thief is Taken
Yesterday
This morning Chief of Police
Walsh received a telephone com-
munication from Westfield, Tioga
county, stating that “Wink”
Nowles, who is wanted by the
authorities at Towanda for horse
stealing is in under arrestat the for
mer place, having been taken in
custody there yesterday. Nowles
confiscated a wagon and a team
and a wagon belonging to a
Towandian several days ago. Ac-
companied by a woman and a
child he passed through Sayre and
was traced by the police as far as
Milltown. From Milltown he went
to Elmira and at the time it was
thought that the police of that city
would have no trouble in effecting
his capture. It appears, however,
that he took another route and
went to Westfield. He will be
brought back to this county and
made to answer the charge of horse
stealing.
LEHIGH TRAIN
Two Women Killed and Three
Others Seriously Injured
trolley car at the Julia street
crossing at Girardsville at an early
hour yesterday morning. Out of
five passengers in the trolley two
were killed outright and all the
others seriously injured.

curred on account of the neglect of
the motorman to observe the con
ductor’s signals. The conductor
bad gone ahead when the crossing
was reached and when he saw the
passenger train coming he signaled
to the motorman to stop. The
latter, for some unaccountable
reason, failed to bring the car to a
stop and the trolley was struck by
the pilot squarely in the middle.
The passengers killed were both
women.
