PRICE 2 CENTS Ctttm DUNMQRE TRIMS HONESDALE 4-3 Two Hits and an Error Reverses Score in the Ninth EACH TEAM HAD A SURPRISE; WHIRLWIND FINISH TO A GOOD GAME. In a garrison llnlsh Dunmore de feated the Honesdale baseball team on the silk mill grounds here last Saturday afternoon when a combina tion of two hits, along with Sander cock's fatal error, gave them two runs In the ninth inning, enough to win by a run. Up to the ninth inning It was a pitchers' battle, Hessllng getting, if anything, a little the better of the argument. In that fatal session, however, the Dunmoreites succeeded In reversing the score from 2-3 to 4-3, and clinched the game. In the dodgers advertising the game, a surprise was promised the locals. The surprise was all right one Chester Ross by name a cousin of Manager Leon Ross, who played a good game at first, accepting ten chances without an error, and hitting Knox the first time up for two bags. But Dunmore had a surprise in store for Leon Ross' little boys, and his name was Pitcher Knox. Outside of the first inning, when the Maple City boys secured two hits oft his deliv ery, he was as Arm as Stonewall Jackson, being especially steady with men on bases. The game was late In starting, ow ing to the fact that the 3:15 p. m. D. & H. train was delayed by the heavy Lake Lodore passenger traffic, and the game did not open until twenty minutes after four o'clock. In the first inning Hawley walked. Dooley was an easy out to Hessllng, Hawley advancing. Loftus fanned. On a wild throw to third to catch Hawley, that gentleman scored. T. Duffy was an easy out. In their half of the first, Hones dale went right out in front after a very wabbly opening session by " Shorty " Knox. Brader drew a walk after Mangan had gone out. Ross made his debut by slamming the ball into left for two bases. Sandercock repeated the trick with a double to deep centre, scoring Brader, Schilling got to first on Knox's fumble. Polt reached first on T. Duffy's fumble, Sandercock scoring. Polt stole second, and went to third on a wild throw. Jacobs drew a pass to first. Polt was an easy out in attempting to score.. In the second inning, only one Dunmorelte, F. Duffy, by name, reached first on a fumble by third baseman 'Mangan. For Honesdale, Dudley singled to left, stole second, and died there. It was one, two, three in the third Inning, on both sides, and ditto in the fourth. In the fifth, for Honesdale, with two out, Brader singled to centre, but died there, the next man fanning out. It was one, two, three, In the sixth inning for both sides, and also for Dunmore in the seventh. Hess llng got to first on a grounder fumbled by the second baseman. Mangan filed to centre, and the chances for scoring ended. F. Duffy opened the eighth with a single to left, after Cooligan ground ed to second. Moran was out on an easy grounder to short. With two out, Knox and Hawley singled to centre, F. Duffy scoring. Honesdale was blanked in the eighth. The ninth Inning opened with the score 3 to 2 in favor of the home team. Loftus started with a single after Dooley grounded to Hessllng, T. Duffy hit a long drive to right, ad vancing Loftus. Then Sandercock dropped a pitched ball, and before he could recover It, the game was lost, T. Duffy and Loftus both scoring, McDonald and Colllgan fanned. Honesdale threatened to tie the score In the ninth, when W. Polt reached first on T. Dffy's fumble, and took second when Jacobs was hit by pitcher. Dudley fanned, and Hessllng obliged with a fly to Mc Donald ending the" game. DUNMORE. R. H. O. A. E. Hawley, 2b 1 1 3 0 1 Dooley, It 0 0 0 0 0 Loftus, ss 1 1 2 1 0 T.

Dies in Station After Both LegsAre Cut Off 1 FRANK MOONEY, DUNMORE, JOLTED FROM TRAIN AND' RE- CEIVES FATAL INJURIES. ' A young man named Frank Mooney, Dunmore, aged 2C years, boarded an east-bound coal train at his home Saturday afternoon en route to Hawley, where he expected to secure employment on the Wll- sonville dam. In some unaccount able manner he was Jolted from the train at Wangum and both legs were cut off. The left leg was sev ered at the ankle, while his right limb was cut off near the hip. .Mooney was found lying alone- side the track about 4 o'clock Sun day morning and was brought to Hawley and placed in the West Haw ley station.

Horace Wizard's Home Looted by Thieves TAKE S200 in CASH AND JEW ELRY LAST SATURDAY AF TERNOON. Sneak thieves entered the home of Horace Wizard last Saturday af ternoon and stole In the neighbor hood of ?100 in money, besides two watches, fobs and other jewelry. The Wizard home is located on the road from the Erie watering tank to Ferbers knob. The occu pants of the house, Mr. Wizard and his two sons, had left the house a few minutes before the robbery oc curred, sometime between the hours of 5 and 6 o'clock. Entrance was gained through a rear window by removing a screen. It is evident that parties who en tered the house kept their eye upon the premises and were aware when the occupants left the house. Mr. Wizard places his loss at $200, half of that amount binc taken in cold cash and the balance in jewelry. The arrest of a tourist, Monday afternoon, is thought might furnish some clew to the burglary. COURT NOTES "We'll hope for the best," was District Attorney M. E.

They have had no trouble with Texas township or themselves. This district is a compact village on one side of Texas township. The peo ple in the district are almost un animous in favor of forming this district. There lo no opposition by the people of Texas township or of this district so far as we know.

Baseball Notes. Luck was with Dunmore. Dunmore made It two out of three, winning one and losing one here on Memorial Day. Ben Hessllng pitched a good game and deserved to win. The crowd went wild In the ninth Inning. It was a heartrending fin lsh. Dunmore has lost only one gam so far this season, and that to Honesdale, The crowd could have been larg er. Mangan played a good game at third. ARRESTED 01 THEJFT CHARGE Said to Have Stolen Ra zors from Hawley Firm HAILS FROM WATERBURY, CONN., AND IS TWENTY-l'OUR YEARS OLD.

The party arrived in Honesdale at 6:30 Saturday morning from WIlkes-Barre on a special train, con sisting of President Loree's private car No. BOO, a regular day coach and engine No. 454. The train was in charge of a Carbondale crew, consist ing of John Welch, conductor; Thomas 'Mooney, trainman; Samuel Banker, engineer, and J. L. Decker, fireman. The party went on a tour of In spection after they had breakfasted in the large and beautiful steel car of the president, and motored to White Mills in the automobiles of Hon. E. B.

From White Mills the distinguish ed guests returned to Honesdale, were shown the beauties of the town and then proceeded upon their re turn trip, continuing in the automo- biles to Farviow, where they spent some time. After admiring the ad- joining country from the majestic Mooslc and visiting the new Crlnil- nal Insane hospital in course of con struction, the party took the special train and started on their way to Lake George whore a few days were spent.

Honesdale welcomed the visit of President Loree and his party and hope that he will not forget this town and come again. It Is the Delaware & Hud son system that holds the distinction of running the first locomotive on the American continent and It was at Honesdale, too. In addition to the official party were R, M.

Young, vice-presi dent and general manager; David Wilcox, president, and L. F. Loree, the present president. He is very courteous, obliging and easily makes friends. He wishes to be remember- , ed to his former Honesdale friends. T A FOR FIFTY John E. Richmond's Re cords Once Decided a Civil Suit RECOMMENDS PRACTICE TO YOUNG PEOPLE AS GOOD HABIT TO ACQUIRE. For the past fifty years, John E. Richmond, the well-known music teacher of 918 Church street, has kept a diary. This is a record which is probably surpassed by no living person in the country. "Fifty years ago when I was at Wesleyan University I started to keep a diary," said Mr. Richmond to a Citizen man who called on him several days ago to find out if we ever had such weather before in the month of June. Before leaving the weather question, this Is what 'Mr. Richmond had to say on the subject: Never had any such weather in June!" Harking back to the diary: "When I left Wesleyan, that's in 1853, I kept a diary. I went to New York in 1854, and came to Carbondale in 1855, keeping a diary all the while. I tell my wife," laughingly re marked Mr. Richmond, "I may want to prove an alibi some day. I always leave a space. "No man comes to me twice for a bill. I always put down in my diary .when I get money and when I paid so and so, and how much." Mr. Richmond's diary has figured In Wayne county courts notably in the case of the Vedder estate, when a record in his little book was in strumental In saving J. J. Curtis two hundred dollars. "When Vedder died," explained Mr, Richmond, "A. Hartung and J. J. Curtis were appointed adminis trators of the Vedder estate. I was In business at that time. Curtis used to drop in and see me. He asked me to keep his books. Hartung was a German and couldn't keep accounts in English. One day Hartung and Curtis" came to the store, which, was located' where the Wayne Co-Operative store now stands and said: 'I just paid ?200 to Gus. Hartung In Kelpers store. I wish you would make a memorandum of that.' So I put in my diary ?200 paid by Curtis to Hartung at Hotel DeKeipel, such a date.' I put It on the diary from a memorandum. When the admin istrators came to settle up, Hartung torgot he'd received S200, and Cur tis came to me and asked me about it. The case went to court. I was subpoenaed. I showed the Judge the entry in my diary and Curtis won his case. "There's nothing like It. I would not miss It." "If Mr. Richmond is out of town. he wants me to keep a diary," laughingly interjected Mrs. Rich mond, " and I don't get any commis sion either!" "I can see from my dairy who I rode out with, who I called on, and If I paid a bill," said Mr. Richmond. "Would you advise a young person to keep a diary?" asked the reporter. By all means," said Mr. Rich mond. "Why I am at home with that. That's authority. I am willing to swear to what I write In there, "I never missed a day excepting when I was sick and my wife or somebody else kept it for mo then. "It's a matter of business. Why where were you last year on such a date? Let me see. Here's my diary. That'll settle it." Mr. Richmond cnerishes his dla- rles very highly. In the front of several of them appears this Inscrip tion: "A liberal reward will be paid for the finding and return to John E. Richmond of this book." On the fly-leaf of one of the diaries appears this fitting verse: "Steal not this book 'Mine honest friend Lest the gallows Will bo thine end! "For In that day The Lord will say Where is that book You stole away? "And you will say, 'I do not know,' Then He will say, 'Go down below!' " (with the figure of a hand affixed, pointing downward). Here Is another solemn warning: "He who steals this Diary In search of knowledge Will end his days In Sing Sing College." Were Is another that is very apropos In view of the widespread religious unrest prevalent to-day: "The children of the world and the children of the church go to gether hand In hand, but only the good Lord who made them can tell the two apart!" But gracious me, Just to think of it. Fifty long years with 365 long days In each one of them 18,250 days. It's a lifetime! "Magna pars erudltlonls est scire allquld possls lnvenlre." And a diary helps a whole lot. Begin! EP DIARY AS Hawley Man Found Dead Near Stump HARRY HAGAMAN, AGED 20, STRICKEN BY APOPLEXY SUN DAY EVENING.

That Michael Keough of Carbon dale will not die as the result of In juries received Sunday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock at "Dead Man's Bridge" about one mile this side of White Mills when the large touring car occupied by Carbondale people turned turtle was learned Tuesday from Dr. Powell of Honesdale, who had Just come'' from a consultation with Dr. Gavltt of White Mills. At the time of the accident the occupants of the car were Keough who was driving, 'Miss Nellie Gal- laghy, in the front seat; Miss Mary Gallaghy, milliner, 'Mrs. William Mc- Groarty of New lork, and Frank P. Brown, a restaurant man of Car bondale in the rear of the car. From all reports it is learned that the party were on their way to Honesdale driving rapidly in order to reach Carbondale by nightfall. Keough i3 said to be a good driver but he was unfamiliar with the road. At the turn In the road where the accident took place, the car rammed into the embankment, throwing Keough against the steer ing wheel and the other occupants out of the car. Keough was ren dered unconscious and sustained in ternal injuries which have proven less serious than was at first sup posed. Brown sustained a broken collar bone while the rest of the party escaped with slight cuts and abrasions. It is not known whether the steering gear broke or whether Keough, seeing he could not make the turn at the rate of speed he was traveling, ran the car into the em bankment. After the injured members ot the party were treated, the party, with the exception of Mr. Keough, were driven to Carbondale In an auto mobile furnished by Mr. Dorfilnger, White Mills. The courtesy shown by Dr. Gavltt, Mr. Dorfilnger and other people of White .Mills was greatly appreciated by the party. The automobile was damaged to such an extent that It is doubtful If It can be repaired. BANK DIRECTORS MUST OWN STOCK m New Law Will Affect Over 500 Banking Institutions MEASURE STRONGLY SUPPORT ED BY THOSE INTERESTED IN BANKS. State Banking Commissioner Wil liam H. 'Smith Is about to Issue no tices to all State chartered banks, trust companies, savings Institutions and other financial concerns coming under the 'State banking laws that the provisions of the act of June 3, requiring directors totake oaths of office and to be ovjSrs of at least auu oz unnypomecaieu siock in their own right are now In force. The directors assuming office at the next reorganization will be required to conform to the law and to take oaths according to a form to be Is sued by the State authorities. The law will affect the directors of 307 trust companies, 115 State chartered banks Incorporated since 1874 and thirty-seven operating un der special charters as well as such savings institutions and private banks as are under State supervision. A number of trust companies now re quire that their directors must be owners of at least ten or more shares of stock and to take oaths of office and several of the best conducted have commended the bill because it would not only tend to hold direc tors to strict accountability, but would dignify the system. Pennsyl vania leads In trust companies and many bankers have assured Com missioner Smith and other State offi cials that the law would be benefi cial. In fact no opposition to it cropped up In the session and It was strongly supported by men Interested In banks. Under the provisions of such a law It would be Impossible for men to be advertised as directors without own ing stock or even knowing that they were directors as was the case with the American Trust Company, Phila delphia, closed last year. Every di rector must swear In addition to in tention to honestly administer affairs of the corporation that he "is the owner, In good faith, and In his own right, of shares of the capital stock subscribed by blm, or standing In his name on the books of the corporation of which he has been appointed or elected a director, the par value ot which shall aggregate at least 7300 and that the same Is not hypothecat ed or In any way pledged as security for any loan or debt."
