The largest vote ever polled in Hones dale was at last Tuesday's election, COS being cast, of which lll'J were straight Democratic, and 95 straight Republican. The Honesdale National Hank has now on deposit $8,000 of the general fnnd of the State, and the Wayne Coun ty Savings Bank $25,000 of the sinking fund. The cold snap is bringing long dis used furnaces into requisition. Parties starting fires in them and using the steam or hot water system of heating should be careful to have the necessary amount of water in the boilers, other wise a serious accident may occur. The Citizen, giving a summary of general and local election news, and an nouncing the result as to all District and Wayne county candidates, was issued at five o'clock on Wednesday morning. The entire out of-town-edition was in the mails and on its wav to subscribers in, the early trains leaving Honesdale ; and town and suburban subscribers found the news on their breakfast tables. The po litical section was printed in a different color from the body of the paper, an in novation which attracted much attention and won many encomiums. Mrs. Charles A. Dunkelberg, of Seelyville, fell last spring, and injured her right shoulder. It pained her con siderably, but she did not pay much at' tention to it. Finally she could stand it no longer, and was taken to a Scranton hospital for treatment, some four weeks after her fall. Being placed under an X-ray, it revealed the fact that her arm was broken close to the shoulder joint Last Sunday, while returning from St John's Lutheran church, she tripped on a dead limb on the sidewalk, and fell again, breaking the same arm, and in the same place. State Fish Commissioner Median has completed bis work with the Tri State Fish Commission and expects that the legislation to be adopted this winter by the Legislatures of three States will prove very valuable to the Delaware river. Game and food fish are well cared for and different regulations made for the river below Trenton. .Mr. Median says that he believes the suggestion that appeals be allowed from the convictions in magistrates courts and tho abolition of the system of giving half the fines as rewards for informers or special war dens will meet general favor, as they will remove causes of vigorous objections from fishermen throughout the counties where numerous arrests have been made. The provision for thirty wardens is jus tified by the department on the ground that it will -concentrate all of the busi ness under one responsible head and do away with the special wardens to a great extent. At present there are nine war dens, although the Commissioner is au thorized to name twelve. In our Wednesday's edition mention "Twas made by our Steene correspondent of remarkable yields of corn raised by J. E. Haley, of that place, and Albert rt 1 1 i i . i mi i , uueii, ui vjiiuujn. j-iiesu jarinertj aim any others who can boast of their suc cess in the production of this crop, should not fail to select ten ears to show at the third annual corn show to be held by the Pennsylvania Live Stock Breeders' Association at Harrisburg, Jan. 26-29 next. Eight silver cups, rang ing in value from $25 to $50, will bo offered in the various classes and 45 cash prizes in addition.

The Erie freight house at Hawley has been torn down and the lumber taken to West Hawley, where a new freight house is in process of erection. The intention of the company seems to be to move the freight and express work to West Hawley to avoid the de tention of coal trains caused by the loading and unloading at that point. The present station will be maintained at the Eddy since the company is under covenant to do so. Details of State Constabulary have been assigned to many different stations throughout Pennsylvania. Waynecoun ty is to be left out this winter, the near est stations of troopers being at May- field in Lackawanna county, Tobyhauna and Montrose in Susquehanna county, and Tuukhannock In Wyoming. But few of the places where troopers have been stationed in the past, will again be thus honored, unless necessity shou Id require it. The detachments will all be sent to flew towns, 1n order to give the people an opportuuitv to judge of their value. A sad incident occurred in Towanda on Monday last, which will especially appeal to the sympathies of the members of the Bench and Bar of Wavne countv. Charles Hall, who made friends of all he met while serving in our courts on different occesions as a stenographer, and who was the Democratic candidate for the office of Prothonotary in Brad ford county, dropped dead on Monday, while caring for the furnace at his home in Towanda. He was a robust man and was apparently in the best of health. Early Monday morning he descended to the cellar of his residence, to fix the furnace, and while there was stricken with heart failure, death occurring in- stantlv. The ballots for the election, bearing his name as a candidate, had been distributed, and it was impossible to change the ticket. Rev. W. F.
