William A. Parshall, of Port Jervis,
a leading lawyer of Orange county, is
missing from his home, and his absence
is causing much concern. Mr. Parshall
was to appear before Surrogate Sweezey
in Goshen, on Monday last, in regard to
an accounting in the settlement of the
estate ot Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Conk
ling, both deceased, said to amount to
about $40,t500. He was named as exe
cutor without bonds and some time ago
he was cited to appear before Surrogate
Sweezey at Goshen, on April 5th, to
render an accounting. On that day the
matter was postponed until Monday,
and then Mr. Parshall failed to appear.
Tills act makes him liable to contempt
of court but whether further proceedings
will be taken depends largely on the
course of the Rutherford heirs. It is
said that there are other smaller estates
of which, Air. Parshall has failed to givo
nn accounting, that h,is personal in
debtedness in Port Jervis is no inconsid
erable sum and that friends whose names
are on his paper are seriously involved.

would Imagine from the confident
way In which our neighbors speak
of the anticipated approaching vic
tory of their orators and essayists,
that they regard the battle as al
ready decided, with our representa
tives ignomlnlously vanquished. Wo
are making no vainglorious boasts
over this way, but are willing to
bide our time, and take what Justly
comes to us. We commend Carbon
dnle, having been left out in the
cold, in former decisions, for mak
ing a supreme effort to win now,
and we cannot blame Dunmore for
her determination to retain her
prestige, so creditably won last
year; but both towns are advised
not to take the Honesdale High
School too lightly. If our champ
ions are beaten- in .either of the con
tests, the immense audience ex
pected to be present In the Scranton
Lyceum will be treated to a flow of
oratory and symposium of essays
of most exceptional merit. A Dun

local contestants of that place are
practising dally "so as to be in
splendid condition to win honor
and glory for the Dunmore High
school, wnen the'y meet in tho lit
erary battle at the Lyceum theatre
on the evening of April 30. So
great is the interest In this affair,
that the entire balcony has been
reserved for Carbondale and Hones
dale, leaving only the. lower floor
tickets to be disposed of in Dun
more. The final conference of the
principals will take place in the
High school next Saturday when all
plans pertaining to the contest will
be perfected. At this conference,
too, the essays will be sent to the
Judges."
Edmund A. Bigler, a son of former
Governor William Bigler, of this State,
and a nephew of ex-Governor John Big
ler, of California, died at his homo in
Clearfield, Pa., on Monday last, aged GG
years. As related in the recent "Story
of the Old Cannon," the visits of Wm.
F. Johnston and William Bigler, to
Honesdale, on succeeding days in the
gubernatorial canvass of 1851, brought
out themost imposing public demonstra
tions in the political history of the town.
E. A.. Bigler was the Democratic nomi
nee for State Treasurer in 1889, and was
internal revenue collector for the western
disti$g'' Pennsylvania during both of
PreBiigS'lt Cleveland's terms.
Further evidence of a depression in
the freight traffic of this region is evinc
ed in a statement issued by the Erie to
the-effect that six engineers( running on
the Jefferson division between Susque
hanna and Carbondale, have been set
back firing. For the past month traffic
on the branch has decreased and about
a week ago a numberof brakemen were
laid off. Eversincethe Erie discontinued
to ship their coal for western pointsover
the Jefferson division tho company has
not been doing much freight business on
that division. All coal for western points
is shipped from the mines over the Wy
oming division to Lackawaxen and is
then taken to Port Jervis over the Dela
ware division and shipped to the west.
Nearly all of the engineers, with the ex
ception of one who lives in Port Jervis,
who are to be set back, reside in Car
bondale.
The second Sunday in May which
has become notable as Mother's day
will be considerably observed all over
the United States on that day. This
custom, a beautiful one, is the out
growth of efforts by a Philadelphia
woman, Mrs.' Anna Jarvis, who just a
year ago undertook to arouse interest
in the observance. The effort was
crowned with success from the very
start and has attracted attention all over
the country. In another column will be
found a more detailed account of origin
and object of this new claimant for
yearly recognition. If home is nothing
without a mother, surely those saints of
the household deserve the kindliest re

Commissioner Median's fish bill, as
amended, provides that before any per
son maybe arrested for illegal fishing he
must be in possession of fish under
lenjsth or out of season. As originally
drawn a person could be arrested while
in the net of fishing for fish out of sea
son. This was bitterly opposed by the
State Sportsmen's Association. The clos
ed season for blue pike, pike perch,
otherwise called wall-eyed pike, or Sus
quehanna salmon, and pickerel or yel
low perch is changed, the season being
from January 1st to June 14th, instead
of from January 1st to June 30th. The
original limits stand for all trout except
lake trout. They are from August 1st
to April 14th. The closed season for all
other game fish is from December 1st to
June 14th. Eight inches is made the
minimum length of bass, salmon, pike,
etc., instead of nine inches, and the
number of trout that may be taken is
increased from 25 to 40. Use of fyke
nets, eel pots and dip nets is prohibited
between May 1st and June 30th, instead
of between May 1st and August 31st.
The Pellio-Bulls Head case decided

HENS AND EGGS.
Joseph Stephens's Egg Record
Smashed In his Own Town.
On being confronted witli this record
Charles Burger, 13 hens, 280 eggs,
William Hertel, 40 hens, 720 eggs,
William H. Ham, five eggs with no
hens, our White Mills correspondent wss
constrained to say :
"Well, boys, you can beat me in this
country all right, but my father had a
black Minorca hen in the old country
that laid two eggs and a piece of ham
every morning for breakfast I"
At a meeting of the White Mills Poul
try Raisers' Association, held in Hertel
Hall, on April 12th, Wm. II. Ham in
the chair, the question which was put
to the members was this : "Which con
trols the color of the egg, male or fe
male?" Mr. Decker stated that, in his opinion,
it was the female bird.
Mr. Butler said that, from his exper
ience, Mr. Decker was right.
Mr. Burger remarked that he believed
that hens largely control the color of the
shell.
Mr. Stephens said, "Boys, you should
not place too much confidence in what
Messrs. Ham, Decker, Butler or Burger
have ( said, as they have never proved
themselves good breeders ; but I will
have to admit the female bird largely
controls the pigment which gives the egg
shell the characteristic color."
A Poultry Meeting.
A most enthusiastic meeting ' of
the Wayne County Poultry and Pig
eon Association took place Wed
nesday afternoon and evening at
the Court House.
J. H. Wolsfler, of New Jersey,
editor of the Poultry Digest and a
most successful breeder of utility
fowls and remarkable winter egg
producers, gave two addresses.
The evening address on "Winter
Eggs and How to Get Them" was
the most satisfactory ever listened
to by the live poultry men present,
and those not present were the
losers.
A business meeting was held at
the close, and ten new members
were added.
A committee composed of W. A.
Wolford and Roy Sands, of Hawley,

The Ladles' Choral Concert.
' , ' . .
A large and appreciative audi-1
ence were entertained at the Lyric
Theatre on Tuesday evening, April
17th, by a concert given undor the
auspices of the Ladles' Musical So
ciety ot Honesdale. The Ladles'
Chorus numbered about 40 voices.
They were led by Mr. Louis Baker
PhllllpB of Scranton who was as
sisted by Mrs. John H. Shepherd,
soprano, Mrs. Louis Baker Phillips,
contralto, and an orchestra of
twenty-five members of the Scranton
Symphony society :
Tho rnn port In t n-n nnvtn nnn
ed with The Morris Dances, by
the orchestra, then the Rosary
and Snowflakes was most excellent
ly rendered by the Ladies' chorus.
Mrs. Shepherd followed with a
number of songs; Arnold Lohmann
rendering two violin "boIos, and in
r.esponse to an encore gave Schu-
mnn's Traumerle which was well
received. The first part closed with,
two strong numbers, "Asn's Death"
by Grieg and "The Mill" by
unlet. Part two of the programme
was a cantata, "A Daughter of the
Sea," and was ren arkably well giv
en by the Ladles. There were tunny
moments when the volume and
clearness of enunciation were all
that could .bo desired, especially so
in the final chorus, the climax being
given with a force and fullness that
was wonderfully pleasing to music
loving people. The singing of
Misses Flo. Wood, Mae Robtuson and
Mrs. Harry Rockwell was most ex
cellent, nil being In fine voice. Al
though the night was very stormy
the enthusiasm of the audience was
not dimmed, their appreciation be
ing shown by their generous ap
pearance. Got What He Could.
The great specialist's patient, after
many weeks of treatment, had at last
been declared cured of an "incurable"
disease, and with a grateful feeling he
asked the physician the amount of his
bill.
"That depends, my dear sir," said
the specialist. "Whenever I treat a
man I always make It a' point to deter
mine his occupation and how large a
family he has to support. Then I
make out my bill accordingly. May
I nsk what you do for a living?"
"I am a poet," replied the patient
soulfully.
