THE LAKE ARIEL TROLLEY LINE Proposed New Trolley Iiine from Dunmore to Lake Ariel Pos sibly to Other Points In Wayne County. The Scranton Republican declares' that there appears to be more than a suggestion regarding a new trol ley line between Dunmore and Lake Ariel. It says that the fact that there is money and energy behind the proposition is evident. Options have been secured on considerable private property between the two points mentioned, and surveys have been made. W. L. Connell is largely Interested in the project, and it was he who sought out the right of way. It is claimed that the Northern Electric offlcials are not back of the project or will engineer Us development. The plan now is to furnish rapid transit from Dunmore to Lake Ariel and to provide added amusements and attractions at that watering place. It is claimed that a half hour running schedule could be es tablished through a picturesque sec tion of the east mountains. As nearly as cap he learned several routes are under consideration. All of them traverse Elmhurst and Mos cow. One is said to embrace Dun more, then through Roaring Brook township and then on to Moscow through Madison township, through Aberdeen, Madlsonville and Clark's Corners to the lake in Wayne county. Anyhow the route is designed to open up a territory that produces consid erable agricultural products. It would 'make Lake Ariel, now some what Isolated because of poor rail road facilities, one of the most popu lar summer and winter resorts in this end of the state. It would also encourage suburban living in the neighborhood of the lake, making the real estate end of the proposition in Itself worth while. Considerable ice is obtained yearly from the lake, thus there would be another source of profit. What might be lost when the summer season closes will in a measure bo balanced by freight busi ness in winter. The new road, If it is built, may take another route, and touch also at Wimmcrs. JOHN BARBUOTO TRIED FOR MURDER Aliened Murderer of Gaetano nnd Violator of His Bride Tried for the Crimes in Ncav luirir, X. Y. The trial of John Barhuoto, the Italian who is accused of a double murder near Mlddletown, X. Y., was begun In tho Supreme Court at New burg, Monday morning, Justice Morschauser presiding. The ovl denee Is mostly circumstantial, there being but one living witness to the scene that ended in the death of two persons, and that witness, Ma dellna Gaetano, tho bride of a brief period of one of the men who was shot in cold blood and a cousin of the other. Tho prisoner was seated by the side of his counsel as tho prepara tions were making for the trial. He was neatly shaven, hair cut and had a generally neat appearance. Bar huoto looks not to exceed 30 years of age, and is intelligent, so far a3 can he judged. The jury was selected with but little delay and after being sworn were directed by the court to re main together until a verdict shall have been reached. The story of the murder for which Barbuoto Is being tried may be briefly told as follows: On the night of January 4, 3 909, Finlzlo Gaetano and his bride, who had been in this country but a few days, arrived at Mlddletown, accom panied by Scanlon Carmlno, a cousin of the bride, who came to America with her. They were at Mlddletown for tho purpose of pnssing the night, previous to going Into the interior in quest of employment. As the hour was late they entered a saloon on Cottage street, where they men tioned their desire for a stopping place, and three men volunteered to escort them to such. It is claimed that John Barbuoto,, Alphonso Valo and Enrigo Cormelllo were the trio. At all events, these are the men in dicted. The Italian Immigrants and their volunteer guides left the Cot tage street saloon, and after taking them a long distance over Erie Rail road tracks, it Is alleged the guides shot the two men down with revol vers they had evidently taken with them for that purpose. Having thus disposed of the men they threw the lifeless body of Carmlno on the rail road tracks where it was fearfully mangled by the cars and then as saulted criminally the powerless wo man. Next morning Barbuoto and his companions left the scene of their crimes, and tho woman fell Into equally wicked hands, for the store keeper at Howells, Raphael Carmel lo, also assaulted the woman, and for this crime, which he confessed to finally, he Is serving a term at Sing Sing priBon. Barbuoto has not denied that he was in the party of three that left the Cottage street saloon with the visitors, but claims that he was an Involuntary and helpless witness to the scenes that followed. On the other hand, Mrs. Gaetano has posit ively Identified him as one of the men who fired the shot that robbed her of a natural protector. Try an nd. in The Citizen, know it pays to advertise. You AN INTERRUPTED BATH. How Sherman Caught Five Thousand Confederates In Adam's Garb. "Inch by inch." relates an ex-Coufed erate, "the gray Jackets bad rotlrod from the Tennessee mountains, contest Ing. every viiutnge ground down to Kenesaw. But, strive as they might, the advancing column of Sherman's legions was too much for them, uud even from the heights of Kcnesuw mountains we were drivon down through the Allatoo na hills to the Chattahoochee river. On July 18, 18(54, dusty and battle stained, wo stood on the banks of that stream and gazed upon Its waters rolling along far below. Masking our cannon on the bluff that overlooks Nlckajack creek, we made a break for the river. The water was so alluring that we would havo plunged Into It had the risk ot being surprised by the enemy been even greater. "In a few minutes the river was full of naked 'rebs' disporting in the waters so dellclously cool after that long, hot march through the Allutoona hills. We were only GOO or 700 yards above the mouth of Nlckajack, and the water was quite shallow, as the long drought had brought tho river down, "Suddenly from the direction of Nlck ajack thero was a 'pow, pow, pow.' Imaglno the amazement 'with which we beheld a squadron of Federal cavalry at the mouth of the Nlckajack blazing away at us with their carbines and only prevented from completing our surprise by their inability to ascend the almost perpendicular bluff that rose on our side of the stream. There were souio 0,000 of us, but our numbers counted little when we had not even the protection of an undershirt from those vicious bullets, and none of us knew what moment some gun might prove stiiH-rlor and seifd a ball Into I some of our naked bodies. Our bath was spoiled, nnd uover did 5,000 men i dress more quickly than we did. "In a twinkling wo were In line, and tho waters of tho Chattahoochee were gliding along again undisturbed. We stood off the Yankees until night and all the next day, when Sherman moved up tho river, and we changed our posi tion accordingly." Atlanta Constitu tion. THE DRUMMER BOY OF SHIL0H i Colonel John L. Clem's Story of How j Ho Got Into the Regular Army, An interesting story is told of the way Colonel John L. Clem, the famous "drummer boy of Shlloh" and now assistant quartermaster general, got into the regular army. In the early days of General Grant's first term as president Clem without aid. secured i an audience. Tho president said, "What can 1 do for you?" Clem said, "Mr. President, I wish to ask you for an order to admit me to West Polut." "But why," said tho president, "do you not take the examination?" "I did, Mr. President, but I failed to pass." "That was unfortunate," said the president "How was that?" "Why, Mr. President, you see, I was in the war, and while I was there those other boys of my age were in school." "What!" said the president, amazed. "You were in the war?" Clem was then scarcely eighteen and boyish looking. "Yes, Mr. President, I was in the war four years." And ho related his experience. The president then wrote something, sealed it and, handing It to Clem, said: "Take this to the secretary of war. I guess It will lis you all right" Clem went to the secretary, to whom ho had already applied, and was re ceived somewhat coldly. He delivered the note. The secretary read it and said: "Do you know what this Is?" "No," said Clem, "but I supposed it was an order to admit me to West Point." "Well. It isn't," said the secretary "If s an order to commission you sec ond lieutenant in tho regular nrmy." Leslie's Weekly. Close Quarters. At the battle of Charleston, Mo., in August, 1SC1, Lieutenant Colonel Ran som of the Eleventh Illinois was urging his men to tho charge when an officer rodo up to him and said: "What do you mean? You are killing onr own men." "I know what I am doing," replied Ransom. "Whom nro you for? "I am for Jeff Davis," was tho reply. "You are the man I'm after," returned Ran Eom, and Instantly two pistols were drawn. The Confederate fired first, hitting Ransom In the arm. Ransom shot his antagonist dead. The Watch Below.

Milton Beau mont of this city confessed to the po lice that he killed the man whoso body, with the throat cut and features mu tilated, was found in the woods near here. His victim, Beaumont said, was Bob Rogers, a ntrlous criminal, who served n term In the Eastern Penn sylvania penitentiary for highway rob bery. Beaumont said that Rogers had a crude? against him and daring a quarrel attacked him with a razor. Beaumont finally secured tho weapon, he said, and slashed Rogers about the face and cut his throat. A Relic of John Brown I I N a very dilapidated condition In the midst of tho accumulation of old casting boxes and scrap lum ber In the yard of tho Emery company's copper smithy on Railroad row, Springfield, Mass., now given over to the tender care of rats and pigeons, with an occasional tramp drifting in as nn extra guest stands the identical warehouse nsed by John Brown and his sons, John junior and Jason, be tween the years 1847 and 1S51. John Brown had lived In Massachu setts before. lie studied to be a min ister In tho family of Rev. Moses Hal lock of Plalnflcld just before he reach ed his majority in tho winter of 1810. At that time he was described as "rather tall, sedate, dignified," and he was sent back to his father's tanynrd In less than a year because of Inflam mation of the eyes. In tho warehouse John Brown work ed dally with his men. some white and some colored, sorting, classing and transshipping wool. There (184S) Fred erick Douglass cnlled upon hlra nnd was surprised to find hlra in such a small wooden house on a back street." '; In that same year Brown, elated at rally, following the rows and mak hls successful sales, "plunged" to the ing tho sharpest possible search for extent of going to Europe to Interview , the rot spots on the appIe As a English buyers. It is related that he rulo the nrst lnfection will be was pnenomenany usiuie in grauing wool by the senso of touch. A half dozen Englishmen met the Yankee farmer and, having heard of his keen ness In this particular, resolved to put lit to tho test. He was led Into n dark room In which three small sample I packets were lying. Brown Instantly detected which was Saxony, which was from Ohio, hut at the third he hesitated a moment. Turning to the jokers, he said. "If you have any sau sage machines in England that will work up dog's hair, put this In it!" The laugh was on his companions, for they had Indeed nsed the shearings from a poodle to fool htm. Brown greatly endenred himself to tho blacks. In his Springfield ware house ho formed n lodge of "Spring- field Glleadltes," primarily aimed to protect the negroes from gathering trouble with the whites. Forty-four members joined, Beverly C. Downing heading the list. Ho would havo them come to the downstairs, low cellingcd ofllco nn hour before work began In the mornlnK, and they were there far I Into tho night after work was over.

J. 1 mm cny ua 11 punui. xiu tuiu iu.ii when he asked Brown how early in the morning he should come to work the reply was, "We usually begin work at 7, but come earlier, for 1 want to talk with you." He declared that Brown was wont to talk by tho hour with white or black sympathizers. It made little difference how press ing the business; the enthusiast was al ways ready to call a halt when the op portunity to exploit his views present ed Itself. He prefcrrod to do most of tho talking nnd appreciated a good lis tener. In the collated correspondence of Brown thero are two later Items hav ing n distinct bearing upon this wool working Sprlngflcld era. On the copy of Brown's letter to his son John, as given in Dr. G. W. Brown's book, ap pear these words apropos to the fa ther's elation at making a business connection with Colonel Perkins (Jan. 1L 1844): "This, I think, will be considered no mean alliance for the poor bankrupt and his family in a manner so unex pected. I most certainly hope we will have tho -wisdom given us to mako the most of It." In tbo letter quoted In Prank B. San born's book, under date of April 10, 1858, -when he -was rapidly nearlng his self imposed martyrdom, addressing "dear wife nnd children, every one," Brown speaks of "the liabilities I In curred while connected with Mr. Per kins" and further says, "Most of you know well I gave up all I had to Per kins while -with him." It was somewhat startling to see re cently, after almost sixty years have passed, on tho great billboard which now completely hides this dilapidated, tumbledown wool storage warehouse from passers on tho railroad, tho lurid ndvertisementa of a traveling "Uncle Tom's Oabln" company, with fugitive slaves being chased by bloodhounds, when less than three feet from tho baso of tbo same boarding stands the same counting room -which heard, back in 1840, fiery denunciations of Just such scenes from the Hps of old "Ossa watomie" Brown himself, even then planning the tragic course which led him at last to the Harpers Ferry raid and to tho gallows.'-Boston Olobe. GRANGE. WEEKLY PRESS NEWS LETTER. Plant Pests Hitter Rot of Apples The Oyster Shell Scale. Prof. H. A. Surface, State' Zoolo gist of Pennsylvania, cnlls attention to a very prevalent disease of ap ples, known as bitter rot, giving its symptoms and telling what to do at present to prevent loss from It. The diseased apple usually be comes dark brown throughout and quite bitter, and shrivels Into a dry, hard and much-wrinkled mass called a "mummy." This may re main firmly attached to the twig for a year or more, but usually falls to tho ground before the dry ing process has been completed. The littlo, dry, shriveled apples of ten seen clinging to the trees dur ing the winter are evidences of this disease. They should he gather ed and burned at any time. To he on the safe side, In the line of prevention, give trees a thorough application of Bordeaux mixture. To discover bitter rot, examine trees in the orchard svstematl I found on the upper surface of the apple; therefore, It is best to make I the examination from an elevated 1 position. A good nnd quick meth- , od is to drive between the rows with a spraying outfit, having two men on tho operating platform, a man looking at each side. After tho infected trees have been located, trace all of the dis eased apples until the cankered limb, which is the source of Infec tion, has been found. The infect ed limbs should be removed and burned. Do this cautiously, so as not to spread infection. Wash the saw or pruning shears with such a disinfectant as turpentine or with a live pur cent, solution of formalin in water. Spray with Bordeaux .Mixture, three pounds bluestone, four pounds lime ana 50 gallons water, as soon as the blossoms fail, and repeat this three or four times at intervals of two weeks each. THE OYSTER SHELL I'EST. The following timely directions are suggested for the treatment of tho oyster shell scale, a common orchard and shade tree pest in Pennsylvania: In life history the Oyster Shell Scale, like tho scurvy, differs from the San Jose in that the young are hatched from eggs, while those of I the latter are free at birth. The shape is that of an oyster shell, about 1-1 G of an inch in length and brown in color. Upon overturning the scale, beneath can be seen the mass of pearly white eggs. This is during the winter months. These eggs are laid during September or October, the female dying as soon as this is accomplished. During the time that the trees have no leaves, the boiled lime-sulfur wash (17 pounds of sulfur and 22 pounds of lime to 50 gallons of water, boiled one hour) thoroughly applied, will destroy many of tho eggs, without any injury to the trees. For those not destroyed by this treatment, the best time to spray Is Just after the eggs hatch. This Is generally from tho middle of May until early June in this State, varying with latitude. Thn tim f ilnti.in. Khn!1,,i i.n Lnrof,l1K. wni,,i !, n h m, vllnir . . . . " " , " , ' "" r.e,llynot cf,d' h,avh g a T , ' "T B,. ul c " as soon thereafter, as possible, with kerosene emulsion, not over ten per cent, kerosene; or a weak solu tion of soap, about one pound of either whale oil soap or ordinary washing soap dissolved in four or five gallons of water. The best time for a single treatment is about the first of June. If this spraying bo delayed until the latter part of June or July the young larvae will have fixed and secreted their scale covering, when it is very hard to injure them, and spraying will have little effect. If two applications can be made, the first should be as soon as many of the young scale insects are ob served crawling, and the second about ten days later, to destroy those later hatched. The Oyster-shell scale, like the Scurfy and Lecanlum, is not nearly so dangerous as the San Jose. It does not spread so quickly, multiply so rapidly, nor is it nearly so In jurious to the plants on which it is found. As a rule it is most often found on Lilac, Carolina or Lom bardy Poplar, Soft Maple, Willows, Ash and Apple trees. Twice Postponed Ills Execution. York, Pa., May 2G. For the sec ond time within the past two months George Govogovitch, now In the York county prison under sentence of death for the murder of Michael Tintor, has been respited by the Gov ernor. Govogovitch was sentenced to be hanged April 27, but the Gov ernor granted a respite until May 27, so that an appeal could he taken to the Supreme Court. The Suprem.e Court granted a rule on the lower court to show cause why a new trial should not be granted.

The commissioners of Susquehanna county nnd Wayne county with their attorneys and clerks, Mr. Beyea of the Hillside and Attorney O'Mal ley of the Erie, the supervisors of Clinton township, representatives the borough and the viewers of the two counties were on the ground Tuesday getting together on the project. The viewers who had al ready .made a report were here to adjust a little red tape which had been overlooked In the original pro ceedings. A proposition was drawn up and submitted to the Erie com pany that they enter Into a con tract with Clinton township and Forest City to put in the abutments and fill, the two counties lending their financial assistance to the borough and township, and the counties will jointly build the arch. The proposition met with the sanc tion of all parties present and if the railroad company now agrees to the proposition the labors of the past ten year3 will soon end in an ac complished success.
