THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1000. IX)CAIa Squirrels and rabbits are report ed unusually numerous In this coun ty this year. An Episcopal service will be held In the Presbyterian church, Way mart, Sunday, Aug. 1, at 3 p. m. The electric light miller has de camped. The rain may be accredited with his "welcome disappearance." One of the prettiest spots, any where, Is Park Place, below the Main street bridge, these beautiful summer evenings. Game Protector James Kalbfus, says that birds of all kinds are in creasing in Pennsylvania. Doubtless an effect of the game law. Andrew P. Dedford, one of the best known men in the city of Scran ton, died at his home, Thursday last, at noon, from a stroke of paralysis. The Towanda Reporter-Journal has purchased a big brown-stone building for its headquarters. We congratulate the Journal on Its ability to "move up." Rev. J. Fierlr, of Liverpool, X. Y., filled the pulpit of the German Lutheran church on Sunday. Rev. Mr. Hopp, who is convalescing, was not able to officiate. Lee Fie, our enterprising China man, hns joined the ranks of the au tomobolists and is the possessor of the machine which was formerly owned by Wyman Kimble. It is queer how that splendid, long-continued rain, which began Wednesday night, took all the weather prophets, by surprise. Such things will happen, though. The sparse attendance at church service Sunday was, of course, at tributed to the damp, cold atmos phere. The previous Sabbath It was " too hot." The third of a scries of very interesting articles by Mr. august P. Rhebeln, concerning a Western trip, will appear In the next issue of this paper. Are you troubled by "wild onions?" If so, write to the U. S. Department of Agriculture and it will "put you wise" regarding its ex termination. It's free. It may be best to wear under clothing with your overalls. Frank Bradbeck, of York, was badly poison ed by the dye from the blue overalls lie wore during the recent hot spell. His condition is very serious. The Tri-County Fair association announces that for the best exhibit of any grunge in Sitbqtiehanna, Wayne or Lackawanna counties at the fair a prize of 5" will lie given, to the second and $13 to the third. Mrs. Ida Geary Jay, or Ueth any, and George Beardslee, of White Mills, were married at the Presbyterian manse, on Saturday morning. The ceremony was per formed by Rev. William II. Swift. .Mrs. Berry, wife of the man slain by Blakeslee, in Scranton, de fends the good name of her dead husband. She says: "My husband was a good man, and Mrs. Blakeslee is a respectable, hard-working woman." A Honesdale woman, who uses many lemons for various purposes in Iter home, always saves the skins to clean her brass sink faucets. After putting a bit of whiting on them and rubbing it in well, she uses the lemon as a sponge. The idea has been advanced that the money subscribed for Old Home Week, in this place might better be spent for a hospital. This matter might very properly, we think, be left to the judgment of those who are paying their money for this Old Homo Week celebration. The class of 190C, H. H. S., met at the home of Miss Eva L. Wilson, on Saturday evening last. Of the nineteen members of the class, but four were absent. Very entertaining papers were read on the past history of the class, also on "prophecies." The refreshments were dainty, and altogether a most enjoyable evening was spent. It may be interesting to our farmer friends to know that the Ag ricultural Department has been in vestigating that old myth about po tato planting, and the moon, and has discovered that the moon has nothing to do with potato planting or raising. That the "murplys" grow just as well when planted in the new, as in the old of the moon. Bradford county, this state, Is excited over the fact that children, while berrying, saw two men dig up a box, in the woods, and carry it away in a wagon. The discovery has been verified the officers found tho hole where the box had been '-and now the people are worrying because they don't know whether it was a corpse or treasure, in the box. We are of the opinion that some of our citizens who are backward about coming forwnrd with financial aid for Old Home Week do not fully realize what that occasion will mean to Honesdale, not only to one dealer but to all. Anything which brings visitors to this beautiful young city cannot but help all who have inter ests here. Don't balk, and don't kick. Be allvo and pushing. Clayton Bigelow, a resident of Pleasant Mount, died at Emergency iHospltal, Carbondale, Saturday morning from gangrene poisoning In his right leg. The member was affected about two months ago and he was admitted to the hospital three weeks ago. He was a mar ried man, middle-aged, and resided at Pleasant Mount nearly all his ljfe. The remains were taken there for Interment. A marriage license has been granted to William Mazen, of Scranton, and Helen L. West, of Dreher. Mrs. Fred J.

They think theyhave discov ered gold and copper quarts In that vicinity. Nicholas De Marzo will be hanged In Scranton, Thursday morning, July 29, at 10 o'clock for the murder of his wife. One hundred and twenty-nine tickets were sold from Honesciale to Farview at the Delaware and Hudson depot on Saturday. Sonner's orchestra will furnish music, and Geo. Schwenker will do the catering at Bellevue Park for the Junger Maennerchor, at this place, Aug. 16. Jacob F. Katz, of the firm of Katz Bros., while on a tour of in spection of the new part of the factory, Sunday, fell a distance of about ten feet, and was badly cut by broken glass, a wound on the back of his left hand requiring seven stitches.. The farmers In the vicinity of Keene, in this county, are anxious concerning the whereabouts of Mr. E. Jacobs, who conducted a cream ery at that place, but whose place of business was suddenly closed last Saturday, since which time Mr. 'Jacobs has been non est. We shall probably hear more about it later. A telegram was received by Ilonesdnlc authorities that J. J. Melghn, who died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Brlggs, had a son employed by an express com pany near Philadelphia. The fu neral was to have been held Tuesday morning, but it was decided to wait a few days until the arrival of his son, if he can be found. Tho recent addition to the Katz Underwear Company's factory was opened on Friday evening when the firm entertained its employees and its friends at a dance. The second floor of the building was used for dancing purposes. The hall was artistically decorated with Hags and bunting and presented a very pretty appearance. About five hundred people were in attendance. Among them were guests from Haw lew, White Mills, Seelyville, and Waymart. Freeman's orchestra of nine pieces furnished music for dancing. Refreshments were also served to those present. PERSONAL-. Clias. V. McCarty is sojourning at Big PoniA John E own was a visitor in Scranton fc. 'nday.

Mr. Sherwood has devoted considerable of his time of late in securing patents on vari ous inventions, among them being fenders for automobiles and trolley cars. They have been manufactured and thousands of them aro now in use on cars In New Jersey, Virginia, Long Island and Greater New York, Not "Good Politics." The Reporter-Journal of Towanda, Pa., means well, and it is a hustling newspaper, but that grist of rattle snake horrors that are located In that vicinity, isn't "good business. Outslders( will either believe that corn Juice in that county Is remark ably poor or that It is dangerous to step out-of-doors for fear of being destroyed by venomous serpents of enormous size. This is merely a suggestion, of course. Ho Liked the Job.

THE WAYNE TROLLEY. Contrnct Let to Reading Firm Work to be Started at Once. A meeting of the capitalists behind the construction of the proposed trol ley line between Seelyville and Haw ley was held Saturday afternoon at the Allen House In this place, and the question of awarding the con trnct for the building of the road and the equipment necessary for its operation was turned over to the Bankers' Corporation company of Reading, Pa. Work on tho road will be started within tho next few weeks, the financial company having already made its arrangements. The building of this line, which will pass through Honesdale, White Mills and a dozen Binaller towns, hns been agitated for a number of years and actual work was begun about two years ago, several miles of track being laid In the vicinity of Hones dale. The money stringency of 1907 caused a cessation of the work nnd the practical abandonment of the pro ject for the time being. For the past few months the men interested in the scheme have been busy in reviving the road and Saturday's meeting saw the fruitful culmination of their work. The proposed trolley line will be twelve miles in length and will open to both freight and passenger traffic territory which has never been ac cessible to any of the railroad lines. It is the intention of the promoters to finally extend the lino to Lake Ariel, thus giving a closer connec tion than now exists between Hones dale and Scranton. At Saturday's meeting, E. B. Ilardenbergh, of Honesdale, former auditor general of the state of Penn sylvania, was elected president of the company, which is incorporated under the name of the Wayne Coun ty Traction company. The other officers elected are as follows: W. C. RilTert of Reading, vice president; Lewis Crater of Reading, secretary and treasurer, and II. H. Richards of Honesdale, general manager. Among the stockholders at the meet ing were: M. B. Allen, postmaster of Honesdale; Attorney Henry W. Dun ning of Wilkes-Barre; M. A. KeUy of West Pittston, and H. Wertz of New port, Pa. The contract for the building of the road calls for a high-grade stone ballasted track, steel and concrete bridges and large standard cars equipped with the latest improve ments and conveniences. Most of the line will be built on the company's own right of way. .More than 23,000 people live in the territory through which the road will pass. AWAITS IJIG SAKXtiEHVKST. Scranton Junker Maennerchor Will Visit Wayne County's Capital Monday, Aug. Kith. The Scranton Republican of Mon day, says: Such arrangements as have not been completed for the Maennerchor outing on Monday, August 1G, will be settled by a committee which starts for Wayne County's capital this morning at 7:55 by the D. & H. railroad. Tho railway rates, the tickets and the necessary printing have already been attended to. Tickets can be had from members or at the train. There are several other details to work out, and the committee while in Honesdale to-day will definitely arrange for advertising the outing and saengerfest; secure an orchestra to furnsh dance music; close con tract for catering, and examine the facilities in Bellevue park for the proper care of a big attendance. The Maennerchor, under whose auspices the Northeastern Saengerfest and ex cursion to Honesdale takes place will leave Scranton Monday morning, August 1G, at 8 o'clock over the D. & H. with a chorus of 100 singers and a coinpleto brass band, the best in the city. Dancing will be a feature of tho outing, while most of tho af ternoon will bo devoted to concert music, massed chorus singing and vocal selections. It will bo tho great est day Honesdale has had In a gen eration, and its most representative citizenship, headed by Mayor Kuh bach, is co-operating with the Junger Maennerchor to make he affair a grand success. The following "Boosters" comprise the committee which spent Monday in Wayne's historic county seat: Dr. Albert Kolb, Philip Robinson, Den nis Barry, Jacob Kaestner, Otto J. Robinson, Edward R. Conley. The above will likely be augmented at the depot. Sorely Afflicted. A gentleman of East street was met by a friend yesterday, who in quired after his health and that of his family. "All miserable," was the disgusted response. "Wife, myself and the children, are whooping with h-o-o-ping-cough, and now b'George, if the horse and dog ain't got it!" Make no Mistake. The figures on the bottom of the posters concerning the Scranton Maennerchor excursion to and pic nic nt this place, Monday, August 1G, have reference only to the rnll road fare from Carbondale to this place and return. Admission to the Park is free. A Growing Business, Tho Katz Underwear Company which began the manufacturing business in the Dodge building, was, owing to the Increase in busi ness, compelled to seek larger quar ters, so they erected a large two story brick building on Sixth street, and are now employing about one hundred and seventy-five people. During the past year their business has increased to such an extent that the company was compelleu to erect a large addition to their fac tory and it Is expected that the working force will be Increased to about three hundred. Distinguished Visitor. Senator William C. Sproul was a visitor at Farview, during the corner-stone laying on Saturday last. He there met Ex-Auditor General Ilardenbergh, nnd Messrs. A. T. Scnrle nnd John I). Weston of this plnce. He was induced by those gentlemen to take an automobile ride to Honesdale, and upon view expressed himself highly delighted by the thriving nnd handsome ap pearance of the place. It is stated that Hon. Sproul will be a very prominent cnndldato for nomination for Governor, at the next Republi can State convention. Jail Items. F. E, Cully, of Hawley, was com mitted to the connty Jail for thirty days by Justice of the Peace W. B. Ammerman of that place on Mon day. Cully was arrested on the charge of drunkenness and disorder ly conduct. Monday afternoon Katherine Kingler was discharged from the jail in this place, where she had been incarcerated since Friday evening, on charge of disorderly conduct, made by Margaret Castek. The complainant withdrew tho charge. A trio of medical experts had, during her stay in jail, exam ined her as to her mental condition, but, we learn, failed to come to an agreement. Home Corning Week. It is bad taste, at least, for any home newspaper to discourage the efforts now being made to have a successful Home Coming Week in Wayne county. The business men who started the project, who have given con siderable of their time, and shown a disposition to foot the bills, de serve to be encouraged, as their mo tive Is to stimulate business In gen eral and bring to the notice of former residents the steady im provement in Honesdale's growth as a manufacturing center, while she still retains her record as being one of most desirable residental towns in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Don't kick against any home en terprise which will help your town, but help it along, as all good citi zens will.
