Street Commissioner Lawrence
Weidner, when asked by a represen
tative of THE CITIZEN, what would
be the best solution of the Ice prob
lem in the Lacka waxen River, said:
"I had an idea another year to
tako off the high part of the dam, and
let the water run out, so that there
would only just he a brook running.
Then there wouldn't be much Ice.
In case the water and the ice did
come, it would run right over the
top top. Of course the sewers might
bo out, and freeze up. That's my
Idea of It. They'd save a lot of Ice
from being in there."

A double runaway Saturday after
noon about four o'clock disturbed
the otherwiso peaceful and aristo
cratic residents of Irving Boulevard,
and aroused the reporters in Park
Row from their dally "siestas." The
excitement began at the Fair
Grounds, when a bay horse belong
ing to L. Theobald started on a dead
run for his master's barn. When
the central city was reached the
box wagon to which he was hitched
was minus both right wheels. In
front of the freight station, a horse
belonging to George Blake, and at
tached to a coal wagon, took fright
at the unaccustomed sight, and
joined in the mad dash down Park
Row. Mr. Blake made a grab for
him, but ho couldn't catch him. The
Main street was crowded with ve
hicles, and one fellow became so
excited over the danger of a possible
collision that he drove his team up
on tho sidewalk to got out of the
way. He didn't want to take any
chances.
In the meantime the mad gallop
of Dobbin and Brother continued.
Theobald's horse, headed for the
barn, as he always does, when he
gets away. Blake's horse went
through by Smith's and left the box
and hind wheels at the alley en
trance. Ho ran down the Erie
tracks, and was caught by an Hal
ian in the coal pockets. Mr. Theo
bald was badly bruised about the
head and shoulders, and Mr. Blake
was cut about the left ear. When
tho excitement subsided, the "hot
dog man" resumed the crying of his
wares, and the "Colonel" resumed
his after-dinner "Havana."

a masterly and scholarly speech, in
which the past, present, and future
of our country was portrayed in
words that stirred the audience to
applause as they listened to the pa
triotic sentiments of tho speaker.

rett. Esq., the latest acquisition to
the Honesdale bar. Mr. Garrett is
an easy, fluent, and graceful speak
er, and ho held the interests of his
audience, as he dwelt upon the re
sults of the Civil war, and the bless
ings that victory to the Union cause
had brought to the present
generation, and how the present pro
gress in clvilatlon was due to the
abolition of slavery, and how our po
sition as a world power was owing
greatly to the men who won the vic
tory in the early sixties.
Homer Greene, Esq., who is al
ways on tap when the G. A. R. calls,
and answers every bugle call prompt
ly, was present, and when called upon

that covered some of the instances
of the late unpleasantness so nicely
that the audience laughed, felt sad,
and were stirred to their Innermost
soul, as ho depicted the -many phases
of that great struggle. His sallies of
wit, about the living, mingled with
his pathos as he spoko of tho miss
ing, were greatly enjoyed.

present, and by her vigorous, whole
souled singing, kept everybody in
humor. The old fellows were stirred
so that they knocked off at least ten

ily in tho choruses. It was a treat to
hear the old boys get the "Cobwebs
out of their throats" and sing
"Marching through Georgia," "Tent
ing on tho Old Camp Ground," and
other old familiar songs. Mrs. Evans
rendered "Johnny Schmoker" in a
style that brought down the house.
After the mental feast, all hands
repaired to the banquet room, where
tho ladies had prepared a magnificent
spread, which judging by the amount
of time everybody spent at the table
was greatly appreciated. Command
er Henry Wilson, as usual, was the
ring leader in all the proceedings,
and his dry wit, (there was nothing
of a wet nature about the humorous
sallies, as he introduced the speakers
and filled in the gaps, keeping every
body happy until the small hours,
when the meeting dispersed.
Michael J. Hanlan, who never
misses an old vet's meeting, came in

man who without fee or reward puts
the seal on their pension papers
which brings the money from Uncle
Sam every quarter, and consequently
he always has to stand up in meeting
and speak his piece.
Captain Madden, who Is also Coun
ty Commissioner, was caught hiding
behind big Comrades Webber and
Phil Reining, and was ordered by
Commander Wilson to stand up and
give an account of himself, which he
did, briefly, but well.

has no right to trifle with such seri
ous subjects.
