counties will have to pay ?4.25 per
week for the care of insane at the

a heavy additional tax for Wayne
county as we have many Inmates In
the institution.

After years of stealing through
under weights, apparently by conni
vance of custom house officials pro
tected by city politicians, tho sugar
trust now seems in a fair way to be
prosecuted. The government has
been defrauded of millions of dol
lars and the facts have long been
known but all efforts to expose those
directly concerned in the frauds
have been smothered. The New
York custom house must have been
a paradise for sugar thieves for
years.
Judge C. B. Staples, of Strouds
burg, who has presided at the Wayne

The New York World of Mon
day had a lengthy article regarding
'the arrest of a deserter from the U.
S. army named Spangenberg, by
Detective Spencer of Honesdale, and
his delivery to the United States
officials at New York City. The ar
ticle goes on to say that. Spangen
berg's right name was Spencer and
that hq was a brother to the detec
tive who. arrested him. This part
of the story is untrue as Spencer has
no brother and Spangenberg is the
right name of the deserter.
Free antitoxin was distributed
by the State Department of Health in
the period from October, ID 05, to
January, 1909, in 15,429 cases
mostly little children who had been
stricken with diphtheria. Of this
number, 14,080 recovered, giving
the remarkably low death rate of
8.7.4 per cent. The parents of these
thousands of children thus treated
were too poor to pay for antitoxin.
The saving of these bright young
lives, therefore, must be credited to
the State's beneficent aid.

The assessed valuation of Wayne
county is about $11,000,000. This
includes all properties, buildings,
etc. The amount of tax duplicate is
$44,000. The county contains 478,
080 acres of land and 747 square
miles. Its population In 1900 was
30,171. On account of the vast
number of new Industries that have
been organized in Honesdale and
Hawloy during the last decade this
number will undoubtedly be brought
up to 33,188, the census of 1870.
Since that date the population of
Wayne county has decreased to the
number glvea la 1900.

SAMUEL SKINNER -KILLED
IN FALLING
FROM WAGON
Was Going to His Home When tho
Accldont Happened.
On Thursday evening while Sam
uel Skinner and Edward Noble of
Oregon township, were driving home
In a light lumber wagon, having
been to Honesdale with a load of
furniture, they met with an accident
which resulted In the death of Mr.
Skinner. They had Just passed the
home of ex-County Commissioner
George W. Taylor, when they came
to a slight declivity In the road. As
the horses started on at a trot down
the hill, tho horses were reined in
but as the wagon went over the wa
ter bar at the foot of the hill, the
wagon surged forward, the tongue
went through the ring on tne neck
yoke, the pin or brace being defec
tive. This permitted the wagon to
run upon the horses who became
frightened and ran away. Mr. Skin
ner, in the excitement of the mo
ment, attempted to help Noble, who
was driving, by grabbing the reins,
but managed In getting only one
rein while Noble retained the other.
This veered the horses to the side of
the road. Skinner seeing that a
catastropho was imminent, attempt
ed to Jump from the wagon but be
came entangled in a blanket and fell
from the wagon, and in so doing
struck his head against tho hind
wheel, still holding tho rein, one
of the horses fell and upset the wagon
causing the other horse to fall.
Charles Ehrhart, who was In Ben
son Eighmey's house, hearing the
runaway, ran out of the house with
a lighted lantern and on proceeding
down the road a few rods found
Dorses, wagon and men all in a
heap. Skinner was lying with a
blanket wrapped around his feet,
Noble was slightly bruised, and the
horses had a few slight scratches. In
a few minutes the team was ex
tricated and Skinner taken' to the
home of Mr. Eigjhmey and Dr. Pet
erson was called, but he died in less
than an hour after the accident, his
skull was found to be fractured.
Mr. Eugene Cortrlght, In his auto
mobile, had passed the party a few
minutes previous to the accident;
had spoken to the men and noticed
that the horses had become accus
tomed to automobiles and paid no
attention to same.
BIG STRIKE THREATENED.
Union Labor to Quit if Gompcrs and
Mitchell Go to Prison.
By resolution of the Central Labor
Union unanimously adopted every
union wage-worker in Philadelphia
will go out on a two weeks' strike if
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison, .officers of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, are put in
Jail for contempt of court in posting
a stove company as "unfair."
The federation, now In session in
Toronto, will be asked to extend the
local movement into a nation wide
strlko If the three officers go to
prison, and every union in the coun
try, through Its national headquart
ers, will be asked to give point to the
protest by refusing to work.
H. C. Parker, delegate of the Cigar
makers' Union, offered the resolution
and told how the three men had been
adjudged guilty of contempt, how
this had been confirmed upon appeal
and how It would probably be con
firmed upon appeal to the supreme
court of the United States.
"It may be a year or bo before all
this happens," Bald Parker, "but now
is the time to prepare. Let every
man put a quarter or 50 cents a week
aside from this on so as to be ready.
Let him put a few bushels of pota
toes and a few Bides of bacon in the
cellar.
