MANAGEMENT CONGRATU
LATED. The Honesdale base ball team won
the championship of Wayne county
at Hawley last Saturday afternoon,
when they defeated Captain Gib
bons' men by the close score of 4 to
3.
More than' five hundred men, wom
en and children watched the County
Seaters trounce their old-tlmo rivals
In a well-played game, which was ab
solutely free from any demonstration
of any sort whatsoever.
Save at critical moments the si
lence was so intense, that some of
the spectators remarked that the
game reminded them of a Sunday
school picnic, and the management of
the Hawley team is to be congratulat
ed upon the splendid order main
tained throughout the afternoon.
Ben. Hessllng, who Is still twirling
for Honesdale, pitched in his old
tlmo form, allowing only four hits,
and handing out but three passes to
first, wMle Sheridan was touched up
for a total of thirteen hits. The re
sult was never in doubt because Hess
llng had the goods, and Sheridan
didn't.
The County Seaters made a geta
way start of three runs in the first
inning, and they added another one
In the sixth. Hawley threatened In
the seventh, when they made their
three runs, and again in the ninth,
when a splendid catch by Bader cut
off the prospective tlelng run, and
cinched the game.
Mangan, the first County Seater,
to face Skeridan, in tho first Inning,
fanned. Captain Leslie Brader
doubled to right field. Ross bounced
the ball two feet from the home
plate, advancing Brader, and prompt
ly stole second. Sandercock laced
the ball to Shortstop Wilson, who
tried to put out Brader at third, and
as a result the bases were filled.
With the bases crowded " Duffer "
Weaver clouted the ball to centre,
scoring Brader and Ross, and stopped
at midway. Jacobs lined the ball to
Wilson, who threw wild to Seller in a
fruitless effort to cut-off a run. And
the score Was "3 to 0, at -the end of
the fatal first, Bader fanning and
Schilling fouling to J. Mpcloskey.
" They shouldn't have scored a'
run," heatedly remarked a Hawley
player to his teammates, at tho end
of the weird first. And by rights,
they shouldn't have either!

HONESDALE PEOPLE
DISGUSTED WITH
WEDDING AT RINK
Alleging that they " desired to
be married so that marriage shall be
recorded in Pennsylvania," E. Frank
Vernon and Lillian E. Vernon, pro
fessional roller skaters, of Worces
ter, Mass., publicly plighted their
troth In the Honesdale Roller Rink
last Saturday night, before a crowd
of 600 people, 'Squire William H.
Ham officiating.
The wedding was widely advertis
ed as a " legal and lawful marriage
of a young couple prominent In
Honesdale," who were to be married
on roller skates. Shortly after ten
o'clock, E. H. Cortright stepped Into
the middle of the floor, and announc
ed that everything was In readiness
for the real marriage, and Introduc-
ed as tho contracting parties, the
Vernons, who have been filling an
engagement at tho local rink.
The piano softly played the faml
liar strains and tho blushing bride
and happy groom, circled around the
rink, and met under a huge leafy
bell In tho centre of the floor, whore
'Squire Ham was awaiting them.
The brido and groom were dressed
in white. 'Squire Ham began the
solemn marriage ceremony by saying
"Wo aro gathered together in tho
sight of God and in tho face of this
assembly." The light was poor, and
the print In tho littlo black book
rather fine, and the 'Squire advanced
nearer the light. What he said after
the opening words coul'd hardly bo
heard on account of the jeers, hisses
and yells of disapproval from the
spectators.
The reporter even could barely
catch tho important question, "If
any ono can show Just cause why
these two people shall not be joined
together let him now speak, or else
forever hold his peace."
Lillian promised to love and obey
Frank to the accompaniment of
" Ahs " and " Hip, Hips" from the
audience.
After the wedding was over the
'Squire shook hands with Frank and
Lillian, disregarding tho vociferous
shouts of "Kiss her! kiss her!"
As the disgusted crowd flled out
of tho rink they -were treated to a
stent of tho legal documents attest
ing a previous legal marriage in Co
lumbus, onio, u'CDruary a year ago.

lobby of tne nuiiaing.
Since the event, the people of

"Can a couple -who are already mar

VETERAN TELLS
OP VALLEY WRECK
J. Edward Cook Describes
Catastrophe in Graphic
Terms
WITH DAUGHTER NELLIE LAST
FRIDAY ON THE ILL-FATED
TRAIN.
Tho accounts of the fatal wreck
last Friday near Manchester, N. Y.,
on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, In
which thirty people were killed and
scores injured, which have filled col
umns in the dally papers, were not
exaggerated In the least, according to
J, Edward Cook, a veteran of the
Civil war, of Honesdale, who, with
his daughter, Miss Nellie Cook, were
on the Ill-fated train.
Mr. Cook and his daughter board
ed the express train at Rochester
Junction and secured seats in the
first of the three day coaches that
remaining on the track, and safe
ly passed over tho trestle near Man
chester. To a Citizen reporter Mr.
Cook related the following narra
tive of the awful wreck:
" Wo were seated In the train
having a pleasant time conversing
one with another, relating little In
cidents that different ones had ex
perienced and seen while at tho en
campment at Rochster. The train
slowed down as we passed through
Manchester, but as it was an ex
press, we did not stop. Then all of
a sudden the heavy train came to a
stop. There was a slight jar -which
we felt but we were not Injured by
tne Impact. Our car, two passen
ger cars, a baggage car and thd
huge locomotive had passed safely
over tho trestle. A young man and
myself wore among the first on the
scene with axes to aid the unfort
unate ones that were pinned under
the cars. A lady approached me
and asked me If I had any stimu
lant with me. I volunteered to go
and assist In caring for the Injured
but she said, 'You are too old a man
for such work, besides there are
enough young men hero to look af
ter the Injured.' I returned to my
daughter Nellie, who was -made very
nervous by the shsck and remained
with her until the train started
about two hours after the wreck oc
curred.
"The newspapers gave a number
of different accounts of the wreck.
It was tho worst thing I ever wit
nessed! I have traveled a great
deal in mr life but-never saw nnx-
tnmg as terrible as this was. It
was an awful sight.
The dining car. full of neople.
who were eating, their dinner, pass
ed over tho trestle and then fell
down an embankment of 40 feet.
Another car stood on end in the
stream. The front end of the next
car swung around across the
tracks, followed closely by another
car. A soldier In the last car of the
train applied the emergency brakes
and prevented the rear cars of the
train from piling up. The cars came
to a sudden stop.
It was an hour and a half be
fore a doctor arrived. Then others
came and the people on the train
assisted In caring for the injured.
My daughter and I counted iii bod
ies that were laid along in a row
on the gravel bank, all supposed to
have been dead. I have learned
since that there Is not as many, but
as to tho exact number I do not
know.
" Judge Wilson returned home
on Thursday, but Mrs. Cyrus Wood
en and Mrs. Charles Myers aro still
In Rochester.
" Tho shock was a severe one. In
war we expected- to see blood shed,
but its coming so unexpected as It
did last 'Friday, it unnerved us both
I have not yet recovered from the
shock and my daughter, Nellie, is
also suffering from it. It was an
experience I do not wish to repeat
and ono that I will always remem-
oer.
" In that the two large locomo
tives and our car passed over the
rails It hardly seems possible that
there was a spread rail at first, but
the heavy weight of tho engines
and loaded cars probably weakened
tne tracn and it gave way."

cunieronce xne name oi nomer
Greene, of Honesdale, Pa., as the
unanimous choice of the Republi
cans "tit Wayne county as a candidate
for Representative In Congress to
fill the vacancy in tho Fourteenth
Congressional District caused by the
death 'of Hon. George W. Klpp, and
to use.every honorable means In their
power to procure the nomination of
Mr. Greene as the district candi
date. Resolved, That whereas, Wayne
county during her ono hundred and
thirteen years of existence, has had
the honor of having but two of her
citizens sit for one term each as her
representatives In Congress, one of
whom has been her only representa
tive during the thirty-seven years
since the organization of the pres
ent congressional district and whose
single term ended twenty-eight years
ago.
And Whereas by reason of her
population, her Republican vote, and
the ability of the candidates whom
she has presented for nomination,
she has been entitled to a vastly
greater share than she has received
of such political honors, it Is now
the feeling and the determination of
Wayne county Republicans, and the
conferees this day elected are so In
structed, to present the claim of
Wayne county for the forthcoming
nomination with such force and ef
fect that her right shall at this time
be recognized by the District, and
she shall receive the justice which
has been so long delayed.
Mr. Greene was called before the

hearty appreciation of the honor
conferred upon him. He said the
action taken shows a united party In
Wayne county.
Matters of Importance were dls-

BRIDGE
TO BEJRECTEO
Long Delayed Proposition
Finally Acted Upon
Friday
BRIDGE WILL JOIN FOREST CITY
AND BROWNTOWN; CON
TRACTS TO BE LET SOON.
After hanging fire for more than
twenty years, the proposition to
build a ?10,000 bridge across the
Lackawanna River from Forest City,
Susquehanna county, to Browntown,
Wayne county, was signed, sealed
and delivered at an Inter-county
meeting, Friday morning at 10
o'clock in the Grand Jury room of
the Wayne county court house, when
the Susquehanna County Commis
sioners, the Wayne County Commis
sioners and the supervisors of Clin
ton township, Wayne county, de
cldedf on the advice of legal coun
sel, to go ahead and take the meas
urements of the proposed structure
and let the contracts, without any
further delay.
The necessity for a brldgo across
the Lackawanna at this point has
long been felt. The river Is fully
a hundred feet wide between Brown
town and Forest City. Some Idea of
the Inconvenience and delay to
which tho residents of both Forest
City and Browntown are being put
may best bo derived from a state
ment made to a Citizen man by
Harvey Dan, who resides near Way
mart. He said:
"We go Soutn from Browntown
half a mile Into a hole In the river
and there at present we are fording
the river with our loads. When we
cross the river we come to the foot
of a hill. We got to go up a high,
steep embankment, to cross the Rail
road tracks, and there are four of
them. Another reason for a brldgo
Is, we have no public road from tho
river to the city. The road Is never
worked from the river to the county
line, a distance of half a mile. Two
thirds of tho year It's almost im
possible to get over the high em
bankment to the railroad tracks."
Browntown is a mushroom min
ing town, with a population of about
400. It sprang up In the last two
or three years. People living there
have to walk over a mile out of tho
way to get to their work in Forest
City. The whole town has been
hoodooed on account of tho lack of
a bridge.
Browntown boasts of one hotel,
a restaurant, several stores and
business places, and Is located one
and one-half miles from Forest
City, across tho tracks of two rail
roads and the Lackawanna River.
Application is being jnade to the
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gener
al requesting that a postofllce be es
tablished there, and a postmaster
appointed. At present the town Is
supplied with mail pouches from the
Erie and the "Ontario and Western
Railroads.

John Hanley May Be The
Man Who Was On
Quinney Roof.
FINED $25; TRIED TO STRIKE
MANAGER DITTRICII; PAINTER
11Y TRADE.
John Hanley was given a hearing
before Mayor Kuhbach Monday af
ternoon at 4 o'clock on a charge of
disorderly conduct, being intoxicat
ed, begging, Intimidating persons,
vagrancy and also with being a sus
picious character.
"Hanley said ho was born In Al
bany and for the past year had been
In Wllkes-Barre, being employed at
his trade, that of a painter. Dur
ing the paBt six weeks he said he
has been working in Honesdale.
Saturday evening Hanley was In
the Lyric theatre an'd was seated
In the front row of the balcony,
smoking a cigar. An usher told
him that he was violating the rules
and asked him to stop. Still Han
ley paid no. attention to the re
quest and continued to annoy the
peoplo sitting near him as well as
making himself obnoxious. Mana
ger Dlttrlch went to Hanley and
told him he was violating the rules
of the house ani that ho must put
out his cigar. B. H. Dittrich, who
appeared against Hanley at the
hearing, claimed that Hanley made
an effort to strike him, but John
Carroll, who was near, caught Hdn
ley's arm and prevented it. The ci
gar, however, struck Manager Dit
trich in tho face. Mr. Dittrich or
dered the man out of the theatre
and called Mayor Kuhbach, who
was In the house. He turned Han
ley over to Chief of Police Canivan
who arrested him and took the pris
oner to Jail. Mr. Dittrich told the
court that Hanley mado threats,
claiming that he would get even with
him before he left the town and he
has every reason to believe that
the prisoner is a bad actor. The
Mayor told the prisoner that he
could not do anything different but
follow the law In the matter and
under the existing conditions would
have to fine him ?35, which If Han
ley paid he1 would be released, if the
district attorney did not want him,
otherwise .he would undergo hard
labor on the streets of the town.
Hanley said ho would take the pun
ishment and was at once taken back
to Jaij, where he will await-the pleas
ure of District Attorney Simons.
There Is no doubt but that in the
arrest of Hanley the police have the
proper man behind the bars; the
ono who attempted to enter the
home of Mrs. Herbert Quinney a
few nights ago; also the night
prowler who askod for matches at
12:30 one night recently from Mrs.
Fannie Histed; also that he Is the
person who frightened the Inmates
in the homo of Mrs. Richard H.
Brown a few nights ago; also that
this is the bird that was playing
hide and go seok with Chief Canivan
In front of Mayor Kuhbach's homo
one night last week.
Mayor Kuhbach gave Hanley a
good lecture In that ho told him
that any gentleman would not smoke
In a theatre and made It especially
strong concerning endangering the
lives of hundreds of peoplo by smok
ing, in that the cigar stub might set
lire to the building and cost a num
ber of lives.
Hanley told the mayor that he
was sorry that he had to bo brought
before the court, that this was the
second time he had been arrested,
the first being at Hazleton.
District Attorney Simons Is confi
dent that he has tho man that has
been disturbing the neighborhood
during the past few nights and will
In all probability hold Hanley for
court.
