LOCAL MENTION.
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.

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. A $50 cup is offer
ed for the best show of 100 ears made
by any subordinate grange in the State.
Save your best corn for this show) The
annual meeting of the State Board of
Agriculture, the Pennsylvania Dairy
Union and the Pennsylvania Live Stock
Breeders' Association will be held on
these dates, and the best talent in the
country will be on hand to glw instruc
tion and demonstrate. Exhibits of
dairy products for which liberal prizes
are offered, will be a feature, and the
Pennsylvania Experiment Station and
tho State Live Stock Sanitary Board
will also make exhibits worth seeing.
For ,corn entry-blanks, prize lists, etc.,

Sheriff-elect M. Lee Braman has
sold the fine saddle horse "Hector,"
which he purchased of H. Z. Itussell
some time since, to Attorney W. F.
Bovle. of 8sranton. It is understood
that the animal fetched a handsome
price.
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.
