" The building of the Honesdale Foot wear Co. is being pushed to completion rapidly, W. II. Krantz giving personal supervision to the work. The building will present a very imposing appearance, and will add to Ilonesdale's reputation as being a thriving manufacturing town. It is too bad that we cannot get a good big insurance from "Lloyd's (who take any kind of a risk) on our Main street, then have something happen, and by that means get enough money to pave it decently. It is our only hope. The Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, of New York city, lias appointed C. T. Bentley to look after their interests in this section. This will not interfere with Mr. Bentley's present duties. He lias a most excellent proposition to offer to those seeking life insurance.

If you care to take a good spring tonic the Gardner-Vincent Stock Co. recommend you to witness a per formance of their roaring farce comedy "What Happened to Brown," which' takes place at the Lyric thea tre on the evenings of Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week, This three-act comedy was construct ed for laughing purposes only, so if you have the spring fever or are suffering with a case of the blues, make it a point to see what did happen to Mr. Brown, Mr. Gard ner takes the part of Timothy Brown, who marries a woman as homely as the rear end of a coach, but she is wealthy. He invites a friend and clubman, and his wife to pay them a visit and while there Mrs. Brown gets very Jealous of the clubman's wife (Mrs. Stlllman) and here is where the fun starts. Everything is in confusion and amid the most ludicrous situations one is compelled to laugh continuously to the end of the play. Miss Vincent will be seen as Mrs. . Stlllman, in a part that is entirely different from anything he has yet appeared in. "In Old New Hampshire," one of tho most pleasing plays In the repertoire of tho Gardner-Vincent' Stock company will be produced for tho third and last time this (Wed' nesday) evening. Most of the char acters are quaint, homely and hu morous, even to tho villain, an old, cold-blooded hypocrite, who is much more amusing than villainous. Miss Vincent, as sweet Helen Gory, the folorn and homeless waif, cannot fall to arouse thesympathy of any audience, and shows this talented little lady in a role so entirely dif ferent from any we have yet seen her in, that we wonder where her versatility is going to end. Mr. Gardner as big hearted Jim, a plain good natured fellow with a rough manner but a kindly heart, is one of the most striking characters we have seen him portray. The school room scene In the third act is one of the most excruciatingly funny seen in a long time and several specialties are introduced by mem bers of the company.

A front wheel of the buggy was brok en and Mr. Vogler was cut about the face and received a few scalp wounds.

On account of a general in crease of business to which the R. F. D. routes have largely added, postmaster Allen has found it necessary to remodel the postofllce interior, with a view to affording more room for the employes. As a consequence the eastern main en trance door has been closed, and the lobby accommodations some what restricted; but the change as a whole seems to give satisfaction to the patrons of the office as well as to those employed in Uncle Sam's service. Presumably with a view to a site for the proposed State armory, Company E has secured an option on a lot on Park Avenue and Dy berry Place, 75 by 200 feet in di mensions.

Brown, contractor en gaged in erecting tho now high school building, made a misstep while working at the fire on Saturday morning last, and fell a distance of fifteen feet from a gang plank to the basement floor.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING PARTIALLY BURNED A Destructive Fire of Possibly In rentliary Origin Damages the High .School to the Extent of $20,000. The new and splendid structure approaching completion as the fu ture home of the Honesdale high school, narrowly escaped total de struction on Saturday morning last. About half-past three David H. Menner, whose residence is directly opposite the new building on Church street, discovered the reflec tion of flames somewhere in the rear of the old wooden structure which is being utilized while the new building is being erected, and at once concluding that the former was on fire, hurried to the home of contractor Richard H. Brown, on Main street, to apprise him of the fact. By this time, however, others had discovered the real location of the trouble, and very shortly after ward tho gong fire alarm was sounded, bringing out Protection engine company, with one steamer; the Alert hook and ladder company of East Honesdale, and the Chemi cal engine company of Texas No. 4. Hose was attached to several plugs, most convenient to the conflagra tion, and were soon in use; while the steamer was hurried to the foot of Tenth street, where considerable delay was occasioned In securing water owing to the fact that a large heap of rubbish was found to have been carelessly deposited just where the engine should stand. In very creditable time, however, all the apparatus was effectively at work, and the various companies won warm encomiums for the zeal ous and efficient manner in which they discharged their duties. Tho fire for somo time seemed to be con fined to a small apartment or recess on the south side of the main build ing, just back of tho bay window, and to this point the first streams were directed, but It soon became apparent that the flames were rapid ly climbing to the upper story, and that heroic measures must be adopted to check their advance. It was at this crisis that the utility of the suburban companies was clear ly to be recognized. By tho aid of their long ladders the cornices were successfully scaled, and the fire men were enabled to attack tho flames from above, and to direct their streams to points where they must provo effective. Meantime the Are was persistently eating Ita way among the floor Joints, partitions, ceilings, and every thing else combustible, until the entlro roof of the eastern half of the building was involved, and for some time, despite tho heroic exertions put forth by the firemen, it looked as though the whole massive struc- ture was doomed to destruction. Fortunately, however, tho tide turn ed at this juncture, and soon It was realized that the worst bad enough at that was over. Besides more or less damage from smoke, water, etc., In all parts of the build ing, the entire Interior of tho west ern half of tho building may be re garded as practically ruined. Esti mates as to tho damage vary from 110,000 to J20.000, which fortun ately is fully covered by insurance. The risks were about equally divided among one borough agencies, so that no one company will be a1 suf ferer to any very great extent. The adjusters are expected hero to-day. Of course this misfortune will materially delay the completion of the building, which it was expected would be ready for occupancy by tho 1st of September next. New Baseball Rules.

SPRING 6USHESAPPLE BRANDY Farmer Strlket Underground Lake In Pocket of Rock In Missouri Regarded as "Unusual." Springfield, Mo. What chance haa Stato-wido prohibition in Missouri when applejack, pure, undiluted apple brandy, mellow with age, bubbles up from the ground like a spring? When drilling a well on his farm, seven miles north of here, Joel Hazelwand struck a flow at eighty feet of una dulterated apple brandy of unusually fine quality. A dozen bucketfuls of tho liquor have bubbled up through tho holo to-day, and there seems to be no diminishing In quantity. Because of tho Federal statutes Hazelwand Is unable to soil his strike, but neighbors with jugs havo been in- ' vitcd to help themselves, and dozens have accepted the invitation. Geologists hero are unable to glvo any definite account of tho pheno menon, though they glvo credence to the theory of "Uncle Billy" Woodman, the oldest Inhabitant. "Uncle Billy" says there was an orchard on tho sight of Hazelwand's farm before the civil war, and in tho year of '62 there was an exceptionally bountiful crop. Beforo tho harvest all tho men in tho country had gone to war and thero was nobody left to gather tho crop. When tho apples became rlpo a ter rific windstorm blow them from tho trees and practically destroyed tho orchard. The heavy vain that follow ed the wind washed the fruit into tho creek, from whore they wero drawn Into sonic subterranean stream. The apples, somewhere In their un derground Journey were caught In a stream of boiling water nnd cooked. Tills formed the apple brandy, which filtered Into a pocket of rock nnd re mained there to mellow with ago until tapped by Hazelwand'n well. Tho geology of this section of Mis souri 13 such-that the gathering of tho brandy in a pocket of rock is entirely practicable, as tho whole country is underlaid with a stratum of Burling ton limestone. This limestone Is easily eroded by water, and subterra nean lakes are not infrequently found, although such a lake of apple brandy is regarded as unusual. No Chanc for a Miracle. One day Dr. Norman McLeod, who was a largo . ni Healthy man, and ono of his burly elders went to pay a visit to a certain Mrs. MacLaren of tho congregation, who lived In the Scotch Hills. Sho was a frugal wom an, but determine that they should have the bes. In the house. So sho piled the table with jellies and jam and preserves and shortbread, and they partook unsparingly. After the meal tho elder said to her: "Mrs. MacLaren, were you at the kirk on Sunday?" "Oh, t.ye." sho said, "I was." "And what did you think of the treatment of the miracle?" (the sermon had been on the loaves and fishes). "I thought it was good," said Mrs. MacLaren. "And what is your idea on the subject, Mrs. Mac Laren?" asko'. the minister. "Losh," said their hostess sudden ly; "I'm thinkin' that If you and tho elder had bin in the congregation there wadna bin twelve baskets of fragments for the disciples to gather up!"
