PALMYRA WINS AT LAST.
Township Gets Bridge Over Lncku
waxen Prayed For 10 Yeai-s.
After praying and petitioning for
over 40 years for a brldgo, the
prayer of the citizens of Palmyra
township living above town along the
Lackawaxen river, just outside the
borough limits, has been answered,
says the Hawley Times. They are
to have a bridge and a good one,
too.
In 1860 the Honesdale branch of
tho Erie was built and for about a
mile from the West Hawley depot
thn rnndhnfl u-ns lrmnfpt nn np nnnp
tlie wagon road, crowding it near tlio
river bank, and in somo places it is
just wide enough for one wagon.
Witli the railroad on one side and
a high river bank on tho other it
became a dangerous place to drive,
and many merchants were compelled
to refuse to deliver goods to resi
dents on tho West side of the river,
as it was impossible to get to their
homes except by tills roadway.
About ten years ago tho court ap
pointed viewers, who reported in
favor of a bridge to accommodate
tho residents at tills point. The fol
lowing grand Jury also reported
favorable. Tho court alilrmed the
grand Jury's report, but the commis
sioners hold up the matter. Tho
present board has had drawings nnd
estimates on the. bridge several times,
but tlio figures were so high they
did not think it practical to build
it.
About two weeks ago the commis
sioners received a communication
from tlie Horse Heads bridge com
pany, asking thorn If they had a
placo for a brldgo of 150 feet span.
Tho company said they had ono for
sale and would erect it for $1,500.
Mr. llornbock was made a commit
tee of one to go and Inspect tho
brldgo. On his favorablo report a
contract wns mado nnd tho brldgo will
bo ready for uso November 1. The
price paid was about ono-fourth of
what a now brldgo would cost.
This brldgo will fill a longfelt
want and tho board of commission
ers especially Mr. Mnndevlllo who
lias had tho people of Palmyra in
mind over since ho was elected on
tho board aro deserving of much
credit for wliat they havo dono for
the peoplo of this vicinity. It's a
lino brldgo, nnd it didn't cost tho
county a fortuno, either.

WHITE MILLS, Sept. 20. White

Aug. 17. Tho amusement coinmit
teo of tho northeastern Pennsylvania
Heptasoph outing awarded tho team
$57.80. In other words. Whlto Mills
got $50 nnd costs. j
Tho gamo was a hot one nnd tlio
result wns claimed as n victory by

er nine scored. Then Catcher Shaf
fer of the Millers, tho Hans Wag
ner of local baseballdotn, enme to

and between the knee nnd shoulder
wns tho ball ho hit. It went away
off toward tho lako somewhere, ac
cording to the best recollection of
players and spectators, and two men
on bnses came In, while Shaffer
sprinted around to third and held
tho bag.
Then camo tho old case of too
much umpire. McDonald called
Shaffer safe and then he changed
his decision. Ho called tho Shaffer
fly a foul ball. A wrangle arose, tho
umpire was cussed and discussed,
and In tho end Mnnager Tom Gill
took his team off the field. Every
body outside the Archbald team and
their partisans said the White Mills
management did tho proper thing.
A proposition to divide the nurso
of $50 did not sound good to White
Mills and tho dispute was carried to
the committee's Scranton meeting
Sept. 0. The sworn statement of the
White Mills umpire was laid in evi
dence. It seemed to be conclusive
evidence. Tho committee gave
White .Mills $50 and expenses.
"We knew all the time that we
should win If we fought the thing,"
said Manager Gill. "We won that
gamo fairly, we got our money, and
we are satisfied."

MENNER & CO'S STORES
TO BEAUTIFY HONESDALE.
Mr. Lutes Makes Lot of Prnctlcnl
Suggestions Tn Improvement
Society.
Tho Ladles' Improvement society
met In tho council rooms at city hall
Monday evening to hear S. G. Lutes
of tho Lutes Landscape company of
Tlffcn, Ohlo
The meeting wbb called to order
at 7.30 by Miss Caroline Petersen,
president of tho society, who Intro
duced Mr. Lutes. His remarks from
beginning to end wore educational
and worthy of much consideration.
Ho spoko of formal and natural gar
dening nnd suggested Hint tho wom
en of Honesdalo adhere to the lat
ter as much as possible.
When asked what ho would sug
gest be done with the marble llon'3
hoad presented the society by Miss
Jennie Bronscombe several years
ago, he suggested that time be spent
until enough finances could be raised
to give it a proper place In the pub
lic grounds. Speaking of the possi
bilities of Glen Dyberry cemetery,
Mr. Lutes stnted that he had never
seen n town witli more possibilities
of beautifying Its cemeteries than
Honesdale. This statement was not
made In self-interest, as Mr. Lutes
could not take up any more work In
the East than he has, as it lias been
a custom to confine his work to the
Mldtllo West. However, Mr. Lutes
would gladly give his reasons, as to
suggestions and Ideas, without any
compensation.
Iti regard to the public parks, ho
deemed it advisable not to uso so
much muianty in the trimming of
trees and public walks. The advisa
bility of a public playground was
suggested to Mr. Lutes and he assert
ed strongly that the women lend
their best energies to establishing
a playground.
He suggested the removal of the
fence from around the soldiers'
monument in Central park. When
asked what action should be taken
against tho wrecking and damaging
the benches in Central park, he sug
gested that the offenders, whoever
they may be, be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law and examples
mad" of them.
The executive committee of the
Honesdale society extended Invita
tions to the committees of the vari
ous Improvement societies of the
suburbs of Honesdale and represen
tatives from nearly all these organi
zations were present.
