LEY BEATEN
(Continued from Page Ono.)
The third out was pulled off on
a freak play. Wilson was at bat.
One strike had been called on him,
when he retired in favor of Ben
nett. Hessllng threw the ball over
the plate, and the umpire declared
the batter out, since the rules forbid
the substitution of a player after a
strike is called on the batter.
Honesdale didn't do anything In
the eighth, although Sandercock
singled to right and Kupfer to leftv
after Ross grounded to Sheridan."
Polt filed to Thielke and Schilling
filed to Wilson.
A black dog ran across the dia
mond at the opening of the ninth.
In the face of such a hoodoo, Haw
ley could do nothing. Sheridan
"rode" to Mangan. Sweltzer singled
to left. Rose hit to Kupfer who
threw the hall to Mangan and
Sweltzer was out. Gilpin fouled to
Sandercock.
"Duffer" Weaver opened the ninth
with a corking single to right.
Hessllng followed suit, advancing
Weaver. 'Mangan filed to Rose.
Captain Brader smashed one through
Wilson, and Weaver ambled home
with the winning run.
Hawloy has a fine team. They
gave us the best game of the season.
Here's hoping to see them soon
again!

CANDIDATE for PltOTHOXOTAltY.
To the Republicans of Wayne Co.:
I take this means of announcing
myself as a candidate' for the nomi
nation of Prothonotary at the pri
maries, Sept. 30, 1911.
JOHN N. SIIAIU'STKHN.
To most of you I am known per
sonally. During my seventeen years
of service as a clerk in the Hones
dale postoffice my efforts have been
to perform my duties faithfully and
courteously to the patrons of the of
fice and the public generally.
To the voters with whom I am not
personally acquainted I would say
that, since a severe injury sustain
ed by my father a few years before
his accidental death when I was six
teen years old I have tried to make
an honest living. My birthplace was
in Texns township, district No. 4,
Wayne county. .My school days
were limited to the district school
and the Honesdale High school. As
a boy of eleven years I spent my
summers slate picking on the Dela
ware & Hudson dock and attended
school during the winter. I also
spent several summers working on a
farm in Cherry Ridge.
After school I entered the office
of the Honesdale Iron Works, known
now as the Guerney Electric Elevator
Co., where I stayed a number of
years and later entered the Hones
dale postofllce serving two years un
der William F. Briggs. I then went
to the Carbondale Lumber company
as a bookkeeper, remaining with
them until the apolntment as post
master of iMiss Mary E. Gorety, who
later becamo the wife of Hon, C. A.
McCarty. In June, 1896, I returned
to the Honesdale postoffice where I
have been employed ever since. In
coming bfore the people and asking
their assistance and vote at the com
ing primaries, let me say that I am
no tool of any boss or bosses. I
simply desire In common with every
American citizen to better my condi
tion. Your support will be appre
ciated and it nominated and elected
I will devote all my time and atten
tion to the duties of the office to
which I aspire.
Most cordially yours,
J. N. Sharpsteen.

FAVORS THE COMMUTERS.
New Jersey Patrons of Pennsylvania
to Save $2 a Month.
Washington, Aug. 1. The Interstate
commerce commission has granted re
lief to New Jersey commuters living
along the Pennsylvania railroad. It
ordered that company to reduce its
rate from New York to New Bruns
wick from $12 to $10 for a monthly
ticket and to file proportionate commu
tation rates from New York to other
New Jersey points.
The new commutation rate3 on the
Central of New Jersey and the Lehigh
Valley are found to be reasonable, and
those put into effect by the Erie, Dci-
aware, Lackawanna and Western and
the West Shore are also declnred on
the whole not to be excessive except
In a few particular cases. The Erie's
commutation rates to points thirty
three miles or more distant from New
York city are held to be unreasonable,
as are nlso tho commutation fares
charged by tho Lackawnnna and the
West Shore to points toward the lim
its of the suburban zones.
The commission, , however, enters
no orders in regard to these latter
rates, but suggests that the defendants
will at once revise their schedules so
ns to bring them Inside reasonable
limit. The commission finds that the
new fifty trip tickets of the Erie, Lack
awnnnn and West Shore are higher
than they should be, and in this caso
also the commission instructs the rail
roads promptly to take these fares un
der advisement and to suggest reduc
tions in keeping with the commission's
findings.
The commission's decision in regard
to the commutation rates on the New
York Central and the New York, New
Haven and Hartford is deferred pend
ing an investigation which is now be
ing conducted into tho subject by the
New York state public service commis
sion. Trolley Car Hlta Wagon.

WILL DISSOLVfc AS A TRUST.
Stock of Thirty-three Subsidiary Com
panies to Be Given Holders of
Standard of New Jersey Certifi
cates To Continue Business.
New York, Aug. 1. Stockholders in
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey will receive today from the sec
retary of the corporation a letter
which indicates the plan by which the
company will conform Itself to thv
decree of the supreme court. They nre
Informed that by Dec. 1 next they
will have certificates of stock in thirty
three corporations which at the time
of the decision were owned by tho
Standard Oil company.
This does not wean, so M. F. Elliott,
chief counsel for the Standard Oil
company, points out, that tho Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey will
go out of business on Dec. 1. It "will
continue as a manufacturer of petro
leum products, and it will continue to
run the biggest oil refineries in the
world.
Besides the stock which the Standard
of New Jersey owns In tho thirty-three
corporations, of which it is ordered to
rid Itself, it held shares in many other
corporations.
What will become of this stock Mr.
Elliott refuses to say. There appears
to be nothing In the supremo court
decree or in that of tho lower court,
however, which prevents the Standard
of New Jersey from maintaining own
ership, Mr. Elliott says.
The scheme by which the Standard
will dissolve connection with the
thirty-three companies, which have
been regarded as subsidiaries, has
been under consideration by the di
rectors for many months. It was said
at 2G Broadway that to apportion the
slock among the stockholders in the
major corporation was the only way
of meeting tho letter of tho supremo
court's decrep. Mr. Elliott ndded that
Jhe company proposes not only to meet
the letter, of the order, but the spirit
nlso.
"I nm not prepared to say," remark
ed Mr. Elliott, "what is to become of
the stocks owned by the Standard Oil
company in corporations .other than
.those indicated In the decree of the
court. But you may believe that the
Standard Oil company Is not propos
es to go out of business. Indeed,
there is nothing in the decree of tl'
court which obliges it to do so. Its
stock will not have the value that It
(ins at present, of course, because the
cpmpnny will hnve given up its stocl:
ownership In at least thirty-three cor
pornrlons, bnt the Standard of New
Jersey will be very much alive never
theless'
Tho accountants will have some in
trlcate work to do in figuring out the
fractional shares in tho minor corpo
ration which the stockholders In the
present Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey will .have when the dissolution
Is completed! Tho basis of figurlnj:
must necessarily be on n single share
of Standard ''Oil of New Jersey stock.
Of the 6,000 shareholders there nre
many who own small lots ranging
from a single share to ten or a dozen
Of the total capitalization of rite
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
there Is outstanding $08,333,300. Ac
cording to recently published figure
more than half of this is held by
twelve persons or estates. John D
Rockefeller's holdings amount to 247.
G02 shares. The estate of Charles
Pratt comes next with 02,802 shares.

STAND BY HOUSE BILL.

Washington, Aug. 1. The Democrat,
of the senato in caucus decided to

It came from the house without amend

said:
"If reciprocity had been forced
through at this time it would have
been put in Jeopardy within a year, as
by nw a general election would have
had to come after another session.
"By bringing tho election on now we
expect to bo able to mako reciprocity

deferred for a year and reciprocity put
through the chances nre that it then

"Tho Liberal government might be
turnod out on some other question, and
tho Incoming Conservative government
would undoubtedly put through an act
repealing reciprocity.
"If tho government Is sustnlned in

wnnt reciprocity, that it will be rati

CANDIDATE For PR OTJIOIi OTAIt Y
To the Republicans of Wayne
County:
Pursuant to the requests of my
many friends in the county and the
general understanding three years
ago that I should again offer myself
as a candidate for the nomination
for Prothonotary at the coming pri
maries, September 30, I would state
that after a short start by way of an
education In the public schools of
Wayne county, I completed a course
at the A. M. Chlsbro Seminary in
Monroe county, New York. My post
graduate course was about thirty
years In the school of hard knocks
as a farmer and lumberman in
Wayne county. Have mot many peo
ple In the varied relations of a busi
ness man and this long experience
has enabled me to meet many whom
I esteem as my friends and gain at
least enough knowledge to appreci
ate the needs and requirements of
my fellowman.
My aim has steadily been to deal
honestly, frankly and fairly with
all and to dearly cherish all of our
country's institutions, and to en
courage and assist every true effort
to maintain and advance them. I
Invite tho fullest investigation of my
record and with pleasure refer you
to the expression given at the polls
by my home district three years ago
as indicative of the feelings of those
who know me best. Although al
ways a resident and largo taxpayer
in Wayne county, I never asked for
office except on the aforo mentioned
occasion when I was defeated by M. J
Hanlan who, though opposed to me,
never, to my knowledge, said or did
anything detrimental to me. I
therefore earnestly request your
support and promise If nominated
and elected to faithfully perform the
duties of the office to the very beat
of my Judgment and ability and in
all things observe the spirit of the
Golden Rule. '
.' Faithfully yours,
, WALLACE J. BARNES.
