Olive Log&u; mn-e well-knatw aytan-
lanthor and .lecturer; who gave one of her
famous readings here in the days of the
Honesdale Literary Institute back in the
'60s, and was rescued from penury in
New York several years ago by Lady
Cook (Tennessee Claflin), is now an in-
I mate of a pauper lunatic asylum at Ban
sted, England. She was removed from
In Kensington boarding house a month
I ago on complaint of the landlady to the
authorities that she was suffering from
Idelusions and that she was a nuisance.
As a result of several preliminary
(contests held by the pupils of the Hones
dale High School for the purpose of se-
Ilecting representatives for the- Dunmore-Carbondale-Honesdale
Literary Contest.,
the following have been chosen : Dccla-
Iraation, Joseph Jacobs, Albert Krantz
and Fred. Osborne. Recitation, Lillian
Barbieri, Matilda Kreiter and Beatrico
Rehbein. The final preliminary con-
Itest will be at the Lyric, Thursday even
ing, April 1st, at which time one from
each of the above lists will be selected,
also an essayist. We trust that Hones
dale will at least do as well as last year.
The Friday date which was to be
I filled out of town by the Lyric Animated
i Picture and Vaudeville Show, has been
I canceled by the management of the com
pany and will be given over to the Lyric
on that date. This move was made on
the part of the manager on account of
the unlooked for popularity which this
week's bill has won from our towns
people. Among the most attractive
features of this week's program are Mar
tin and Fabrini, a pair of nimble-toed
dancing and well-voiced singing artists,
who keep the audience in a continuous
roar of applause. A children's matinee
has been arranged for6aturday after
noon, on which occasion any child under
14 years of age will be entitled to any
seat in the house for ten cents. After
noon and evening performanfes will be
given on Friday and Saturday at 2:30,
7:00 and 9:00 r. M.
The Scrantoa Times in its "Personal

which it grew some incident of the
Civil War. It shows in iU unfolding a
clear mental and sympathetic grasp of
the character of the great president and
the influence he exerted over all with
whom he came personally in contact ;
and it is a story to deepen patriotism in
the heart of its young readers. Mr.
Greene's style continues to bt as vividly

Some of ourolder readers, especially
of the Democratic persuasion, will be in
terested in the announcement of the
death at Lewisburg last week of Mrs.
Katharine Dill, widow of Andrew H.
Dill, State Senator and United States
Marshal years ago. Mrs. Dill was a
daughter of the late Eli Slifer, who was
secretary of the Commonwealth under
Governor Andrew G. Curtin. Her hus
band, Andrew H. Dill, was one of the
most influential Democrats in Pennsyl
vania, having served as State Senator
from the Union, Snydr, Northumber
land district, and been the Democratic
candidate for Governor against Henry
M. Hoyt, in 1878, when he came to
Honesdale and made a ringing speech.
This county, on that occasion, howev'tir,
gave the Republican candidate for Con
gress, Edward Overton, Jr., nearly 1,000
majority.

days. She was 21 yearn of age, and ta
survived by one sister, Miss Millie, of
Honesdale "and'two brothers, Fred, and
Robert, of Port Jervis. She was study
ing to be a trained nurse, having entered
St. Mark's hospital last fall. She had
received her nurse's cap, and had been
assigned to the surgeons' ward. Thej
body was taken to Port Jervis for inter
ment, the funeral being held this, Fri
day morning.
Peter Balles died at his home on Green
street, Wednesday afternoon, March 10,
1909, after a four months' illness. De
ceased was seventy-six years of age. He
was born in Bremen, Germany, and
came to this country about sixty years
ago, residing in Honesdale most of the
time. Mr. Balles was highly respected
by all who knew him. For thirty-seven
years he was employed by the Torrey
family, by whom he was held in great
regard. Besides his wife he is survived
by six daughters : Mrs. Conrad West,
Mrs. Joseph Polt, Mrs. John Sonncr,
Mrs. Peter Herzog, of Honesdale: Mrs.
Wm. Hull, of Carbondale, and Mrs.
Thomas Nugent, of New York ; also
threesons: Peter, of Pittsburg; William,
of Elmira, and Charles, of Honesdale

ing at nine o'clock.
Local Option Defeated.
In the House at Harrisburg, on Tues
day evening last, after long debate, the
local option bill was defeated by a vote
of 137 to 00. The temperance people
made a strong fight, and they are not
likely to sit back and fold their hands.
The fact that the saloon has been abol
ished in two-thirds of the nation, that
1,830,895 square miles of the United
States are under local option legislation,
will make Pennsylvania Prohibitionists
all the more determined to carry on the
battle to put the Keystone State under
the white banner. Nine States are under
license laws ; 20 States are wholly or
partially under local option legislation,
and the balance prohibition.

Two of the foregoing list of hotel

Weaver, who will occupy the former
Coyne House, recently purchased by him ,
and now undergoing a thorough reno
vation, in April ; and the other to John
A. Schadt, for the Lake House, Ariel
.A number of applications against which
remonstrances were filed, were laid over
until Monday next for hearings.
The first criminal case called for'trinl
was that of the Commonwealth v. Mer-
vin Taft, the defendant being charged
by James Peters with assault and battery,
with attempt to kill. On the night of
Jan. 29th, last, Peters and Mervin were
in the hotel of Frank O'Neill, in Pleasant
Mount, where they had a wordy quarrel,
but. did not come to blows. Later in
tha evening -both men- started for their
homes. itdft; beln'e accompanied bv his"
U&u IWnei'TafjW'ftior'iab.'
jiarret' was resumed, and Pctel'a received
a stab wound near the heart. Taft -was
arrested the next. day' and committed by
Justice J. E. Tiffany to the county jail to
await trial. . A number of witnesses were
sworn for the prosecution, the testimony
tending to show that Taft had renewed
the quarrel in the street with the inten
tion of using hia knife in case he found
himself worsted. The defense attempted
to show by the evidence given by Taft
and others that Peters had been the ag
gressor both at the hotel and in the
street, had knocked Taft down twice,
and threatened to -kill him, and that if
any cutting was done, which was denied,
it was in self-defense. The Jury, how
ever, took a different yiew of the matter,
and found Taft guilty.
The case of the Commonwealth vs
Thomas Quinney was tried on Wednes
day. Mr. Quinney was charged by Joseph
Ackerman with the larceny of a dog, of
which defendant claimed the ownership
Mr. Ackerman said the dog came to his
place of business some time ago, and
that after it had been in his possession
several months Quinney came to Acker'
man's restaurant and took the animal
away. Quinney Was afterward arrested
on the charge of larceny. Before the
court heard all the evidence of the de
fense Judge Purdy took charge of the
case and told the jury that the evidence
was not sufficient to hold Mr. Quinney
for larceny. The jury consequently re
turned a verdict of not guilty; the prose
cutor to pay the costs.
Wm. Smale was found not guilty of
larceny of a wagon, Charles Stegner
prosecutor. This was a new trial grant
ed to Smale, after conviction at last term
and Stegner failing to produce ;his wit
nesses, the verdict was reversed.
