In our last Issue wo briefly an nounced the death from an accident of Earl Knapp, of Hancock, N. Y., which occurred at the Emergency hospital, Carbondale, on Friday of the previous week. The HancocK Herald contains particulars of his death from which we learn that he was born near Lake Como, thlB county, Jan. 3, 1889, and removed with hJs mother to Hancock wnen he was eleven years of age. He at tended Hancock High School until 17 years of age, and about a year ago accepted- a position as fireman on the scranton' urancn, wun neaa- quarters at Mayfleld yard, below Carbondale. On arriving at Jermyn, on the day of the accident, on a downward bound trip, his train was obliged to wait for the passage of the north-bound train. Through an error of judgment, the engine was stopped too close to the end of the double track, and when the north bound train came along It struck Monroe's engine and threw it from the rail, and Knapp was caught and squeezed between the engine and tender. When released, it was found that he had bceu seriously, If not fatally, injured, and he was hurriedly taken to the Emergency hospital nt Carbondale. An ex amination disclosed the fact that he had been Injured Internally, and the doctors stated that It was impossible for 111 m to recover. His mother wns summoned and fortunately reached him before the end came. He was conscious until within five minutes of the time of his death. When told that he had but a short time to live, he replied: "I am not afraid to die," and was cheerful with all his suffering, to the closing scene. Although it was cold . and blustery on Saturday, whicn was un inducement for people to stay home, the attendance at the Boston store opening, was very large. Will our esteemed correspondents please bear in mind that the days of the week and month should be spelled out in full, and the names of individuals written se plainly as to leave no possible chance for mistakes? Very frequently we receive communications in which names are so blindly written that we find ourselves obliged, in order to avoid probable error and annoyance, to leave the paragraph out altogether. Some of our best correspondents write almost il legible hands, and could give Josh Hill ings points on unique spelling ; but if they will only take the pains to spell out proper names in capitals, and give us dates in figures beyond question, we will take care of the rest and be glad to do so. If the nanle "Thompson" comes tons "Toinson" we will not complain, but if it starts with a "T" and ends in a lot of fishworms, we feel disposed to give the puzzle up without a struggle. -The Scranton Times of Thursday last has the following : "A suit for $10,000 damages for an al leged libelous article was started this morning uv William Ham, of Brooklyn, N. Y., against Benjamin F. Haines, edi tor oi the Wayne Independent published in Honesdale.

Not only will the Sherwoods and Richen bakers and Blakneys; the Spettigues, Mum fords and Purdys ; the Grambses, Welches and Farnhams, bo out in full force, with their rods retied, their lines fully tested, their hooks keenly sharp ened, and their bait thoroughly scoured and scented with anise ; but, if we may believe the fish-talk of our over-tlie-inoiiiitaiii contemporaries, we shall have an invasion of Lackawanna county anglers who will sweep the trout out of our brooks as with the besom of du Htrtiction, Let it he understood, now that wo can accept no complimentary samples of the catches less than seven inclies in length. Fred. Hoynolds, formerly mnnager of the Family Theatre at this place, is again in trouble. A Scranton paper save that Reynolds has escaped jail a number of times.

This he failed to do, and was arrested on a charge of false pretense It will be remembered that Reynolds left Honesdale several weeks ago with out paying his board bill. Ho was ar "rested in Scranton, and brought back to Honesdale, where ho was given a hear ing before Justico of the Peace Wm. II. Ham. Bail was furnished by Mrs. Alary Qulnn, woman and threatened to shoot her if she did not consent to marry him.

The scene is laid in Pennsylvania at the time of the battle of Gettysburg. The hero's father is a South Carolinian, who nat urally sympathizes with the views that prevail in the South and is detested, by most of his neighbors as a "copper head."
