LOCAL MENTION.
The following is the list of unclaim

for the week ending April 5th : Bankers'
Protective Society and W. 0. Cruser.
The Katz Underwear Company are
making arrangements for the erection
of an addition to their factory on Sixth
street. Owing to the increase in their
business, the firm have been compelled
to enlarge their quarters. The new
structure will be 50 by 100 feet, and two
stories high. The contract has been let
to Kreitner Brothers, and the new build
ing will be ready for occupancy about
'August 1st. This concern commenced
the manufacture of underwear in the
Dodge building on Main street, but" the
large demand for their product com
pelled them to erect a factory. At the
present time 175 people are employed,
but the force will be doubled when the
new factory is completed. The payroll
of the concern is now the second largest
of all of Honesdale's manufacturing in
dustries. George Nicholson, of Fifteenth
street, while taking camera pictures in
the woods last Sunday, made a mis-step
and sprained his ankle,
Holy Thursday was observed at St.
Mary Magdalen's and St. John's Catho.
lie churches yesterday. Masses were
celebrated at 9 A, m. The service in St.
John's church was followed by a pro
fession of the boys and girls of the con
gregation, the latter dressed wholly in
white.
Dr. 0. W. Treverton, of Green Ridge,
formerly of Beach Lake, this county,
who was tried in Scranton last week on
a charge of malpractice, to which the
death of Miss Helen Brock, was alleged
to be due, was acquitted. It is understood
that the girl's confessed betrayer, her
ousin, W. F. Brown, who was for some
time a resident of Honesdale, haB been
forgiven by her parents, and will prob
ably make his home with them at Cow
anesque, Tioga county, where they re
aide. The Monticello basket ball team de
feated "The Boston Girls." nt their
. match in that village on Wednesday of
last week, the score standing 40 to 43
against the pretty maidens from "The
Hub.'' It is said that in the first half
the Monticello boys were handicapped
by their embarrassment when one or
more of the Bostonians locked them in
fond, embrace, but in the last half the
referee was kept busy calling fouls on
the local lads for holding, -J
A bill introduced by Representative
Fnerth, to increase the pay of constables
while in attendance at court from $2 to
$2.50 a day, passed the House Tuesday.
-Rev. J. B. Cody, of Bethany, writes
us that the most important poultry meet
ing ever held in Wayne county, will take
place on Wednesday, April 14th, in the
Court House. J. H. Wolsifer, one ot the
most expert poultrymen of New Jersey
will bo present. In the afternoon he
will give an address on "Incubation
and Brooding." In the evening he will
speak on "Winter Eggs and How to Get
Them." No person interested in the
raising of poultry that can possibly be
present, should miss being there. Mr.
Wolsifer is a breeder of high class poul
try, and does no crowing, but sticks to
his text, and proves that "Biddy is one
of the most important business propo
sitions in the United States. The poul
try women of the county are especially
urged to be present. Do not forget the
date, April 14th ; first address at 2:30 r.
m., second at 8 p. M.
Deputy Sheriff N. B. Spencer, as
sisted by Constable Denk, of Waymart,
took Herbert Vail, of Farview, in custo
dy on Wednesday, charged with the
robbery of the Varcoe store at Way-
mart, on Sunday night last. Vail made
a confession of .his own guilt and im
plicated others, who were soon after
ward arrested by Mr. Spencer, and
brought to Honcsdale on the four o'clock
train. Further particulars will be given
in next Wednesday's issue, of The Cm
ZEN.
We call your attention to the ad. of
the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Co. in this issue of The Citizen. It
shows very clearly that this old reliable
company is making great headway in
the insurance world and that it will pay
all intending insurers to investigate the
merits of this large company before
placing their insurance. W. C. Knapp,
of Hawley, Pa., will be glad to call on
you and explain the merits of the new
policy the company is now selling.
On Wednesday evening last, S. I
Quicks' sawmills, in Mt. Pleasant town
ship, one mile east of Pleasant Mt. vil
lage were destroyed by fire. Nothing
could be done to check the llames and
the entire plant was consumed, involving
a loss of $5,000 with no insurance. Ow
ing to the high wind which prevailed at
the time of the fire other property in the
vicinity was endangered, but fortunately
the loss was confined to the mills.
The Easter displays iu our shop
windows arc unusually attractive this
season. The large establishments like
Menner & Co.'s and Katz Brothers, are
making most artistic and tempting dis
plays, while the millinery stores have a
genuine Parisian appearance. A fine
show of blooming potted plants and
flowers is made at Helferich's, and Miss
Carrie Smith's daintily decorated store
windows opposite the Lyric are attract'
ing much attention. The confectionery
and other stores dealing in Easter toys,
candies and cards are exhibiting a be
wildering variety of goods in that line.
The very high winds that prevailed
throughout the country on Wednesday at
ternoon and night, causing many deaths
and wide destruction of property, did
considerable damage in this county, the
details of which have not reached us up
to the hour of going to press. Among
other losses we hear of the blowing down
of a Megivern barn at White's Valley,
and the twisting out of shape of a wind;
mill on the store building of Judson
Faatz in Bethany.

Equity Company a Lineal
Descendant of the Bull
frog Mining Co.
I From the Schenectady Gazette.!
The arrest of George L. McKay
and Charles R. Colby, who form
the firm of George L. McKay & Co.
stock brokers, at 20 Broad Street,
New York, has a Schenectady signi
ficance owing to the fact that the
firm was the fiscal agents for the
Equity .Mining Syndicate of which
p. W. Dalton of Hardin's Crossing,
is the president. The New York
company has for some time been
under the surveillance of the postal
authorities owing to its use of the
mails in advertising and selling al
leged worthless stocks ana last Frl
day the two men composing It were
arrested by a postofflce inspector
and a detective from the New York
nolice department. The men were
arraigned Saturday before United
State Commissioner Shields, ball
fixed and the hearing set down for
this week.
The Equity Mining Syndicate is
the lineal descendant of the Elec
tric Bullfrog Company. The stock
holders, in the latter were paid off
with stock in the new syndicate.
It was said last night by a stock
holder in the Bullfrog Company
that when the bottom dropped out
of that enterprise, the firm of M&
Kay & Company was instructed to
And another property. This was
aono and some 600 acres of land,
said to be rich in coal deposits and
located at Coaldale, Nev., was pur
chased.
The Equity Mining Syndicate,
capitalized at $1,500,000, was form
ed and Mr. Dalton, who is connected
with the General Electric Company,
was elected president. Theholders of
Bullfrog Company script traded it
for stock in the new concern, even
up. In this way between ?2,000
and $3,000 worth of Bullfrog stock
held by Schenectady people were
exchanged for a like investment in
the Equity Mining Syndicate. The
firm of McKay & Company was ap
pointed fiscal agents and began
pushing the sale of stock.
Mr. Dalton yesterday In speak'
ing of the arrest of McKay and his
partner, said that about six months
ago the officers of the Equity Min
Ing Syndicate held a meeting in the
office of McKay & Company and it
was decided to take the stock of
the syndicate off the market. This
was done and since that date none
of the stock has been offered for asle
Referring to the assertion of pros'
pective purchasers that the syndi
cate's property at Coaldale did not
measure up to tho advertisements
of its value, Mr. Dalton said that
the coal deposits were exactly as
represented.
