" If I hadn't had the asthma, I'd
be a millionaire. There was no need
of doctoring for it. It's the heavy
air. I was in Colorado a year. It
stayed cured while I was out there.
But I didn't stay out there, so I
came back."
For more than fifty years, Chas.
Wells, who was born in Beachlake,
on Washington's Birthday, February
22, 1837, has wandered all over the
United States In quest of health.
Last Summer the longing to return
to his native heath and seo whether
any of the home folks, whom he had
not seen for more than half a cen
tury, were still In the land of the
living, became too strong to be re
sisted. Saturday, a week ago, he
came to the county seat where he
was overjoyed to find his brother,
Stephen Wells, hale and hearty, and
living at 47 Prospect street.
'Mr. Wells has had a remarkable
career. He has travelled over near
ly all of tho States, in a search for
a cure for his incurable infliction.
This is his story as he told it to a
Citizen man on the Court House
steps one day last week:
" I was born in Beachlake," he
said. " My father's name was Geo.
He owned 700 acres of land. It was
a big family. There were eleven of
us, eight boys and three girls.
" Five brothers served in the
Union Army during the Civil war.
One was Wounded. I stayed at homo
until 18G4. Then I went West. I
located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
where I ran a confectionery and
candy business.
" I was In Cedar Rapids fifteen
years. I dropped from there to a
place called Columbus Junction. I
ran a confectionery store there. I
was there three years. From there
I went to Kent, Ohio, where I took
up the same business. I was there
three years. I had the asthma so
badly, I had to move about from
place to place for twenty-two years.
"Thn I went to Cleveland, Ohio.
I stayed there about two and a half
years. That was about as long as I
could stay anywhere. From there
I went to RIdgeway, Pa. I was
there just six months. Then I went
to Caautauqua Lake, I was there
about three years. I went from
there to Lake George. I was there
about two weeks. .1 dropped down
next to Massachusetts, where I at
tended three Fairs.

Mrs. Clarinda Bunnell
Is Ninety-five Years Old
RECEIVES 12 A MONTH FROM
GOVERNMENT FOR LOSS OF
HER SON.
Mrs. Clarinda Bunnell, who lives
with Mr. and Mrs. Ulysse3 F.- Beers,
at No. 303 Fifteenth street, In our
borough (Mrs. Bunnell being her
daughter), has the distinction, so far
as can be ascertained, of being the
oldest pensioner of the Civil war now
living. She is In her ninety-sixth
year, Having been born on March
7, 1816. She is the widow of Zebu-
Ion Pike Bunnell, who died some half
dozen years before the war opened
In August, 18G2, a company of In

for service in the Union army; Its
members being chiefly from Hones
dale and Hawley. Its officers were

MRS. CLARINDA BUNNELL,
Tho Oldest Living Civil War Pension
er Ih tho United States.
Captain James L. Mumford, of
Honesdale; First Lieutenant Joseph
Atkinson, of Hawley; Second Lieu
tenant Charles M. Ball, of Hones
dale; and Wm. Mulr,-of-Hawley, was
orderly sergeant. Among the pri
vates was Ellery J. Bunnell, a son of
Mrs. Clarinda Bunnell, then in his
twenty-first year. His parents were
opposed to his enlistment, but he
told them that he would be of age In
a short time, having been born Nov.
15, 1,841, and would then enlist
either with or without their consent.
With this prospect ahead they con
sented, and he was mustered into
the service on August 15, 18C2.
Having reached Harrlsburg, the
company was mustered into the ser
vice as Company G, 141st Pennsylva
nia volunteers, and a little later this
regiment was placed In the first bri
gade, first division, third corps, Army
of the Potomac. The brigade was
commanded by Gen. Robinson; the
division by Gen. Blrney; and the
corps by Gen. Stoneman. While on
the way to Washington by rail, in the
latter part of August, the 141st
could hear the cannonading during
the second Bull Run campaign.
The regiment went through the
Fredericksburg campaign, in Decem
ber, 18C2, and the Chancellorvllle
campaign In May, 1863. After the
former campaign, Gen. Robinson was
promoted to the command of a di
vision in the first corps, and was re
placed by Gen. Graham as brigade
commander; while Gen. Stoneman
was transferred to a cavalry com
mand, and was succeeded by Gen.
Sickles as corps commander. At
Chancellorvllle, the 141st lost, In
killed and wounded, more than half
tho men It had In line, besides a
number of prisoners. Capt. Mumford
was killed, Lieut. Atkinson was
wounded in the shoulder, and Lieut.
Ball had an ankle shattered by a
bullet. Considerable sickness follow
ed the hardships and exposure inci
dent to this campaign, and among
those who suffered was young Bun
nell. When recovered sufllclentlv to
travel, no went Homo on lUrlOUCll.

his furlough was extended. Mean'
time the Confederate army under
General Lee set out on an Invasion
of tho North. On learning that they
had entered Pennsylvania, Bunnell
resolved on returning to his regi
ment. He was not yet fit for duty.
and his family tried to dissuade him
irom returning, as he was under no
obligation to go; but he determined
not to be absent from duty when
the enemy was on Pennsylvania soil.
The battle of Gettysburg opened on
Wednesday, July 1. 1863. The third
corps was then at Emmitsburg, about
twelve miles southward. Early In
the afternoon. It received an order to
hasten to the scene of action, and set
off at double-quick. The 141st was
the rear guard on that day, and with
tho duty of picking up stragglers,
and keeping the line moving, Its
march was not so repaid. About
duBk, it joined the brigade near the
western slope of Cemetery Rldne.
about two miles south of Gettysburg.
On Thursday morning, while pre
paring for action, young Bunnell ap
peared before Orderly Sergeant Mulr,
saying, " I roport for duty, and I
want a gun and ammunition." Tho
Sergeant renlled. ' I havo no suns:
there are only the guns the men are
carrying. Besides, you have no busi
ness here; you are on Blck furlough.
and ought to oe at home " I don't
care about that," said Bunnell. "I

came here to help the boys out, and
don't want any furlough while the
rebs are 1n Pennsylvania. All I
want is a gun and ammunition, and
I'll do duty, furlough or no fur
lough." His comrades tried to dis
suade him from this, saying, ' You
are not supposed to be here; you are
supposed to ibe home on sick fur
lough, and nobody will have a right
to blame you for staying out. You
are a fool to take the chance of be
ing killed when you are not required
to, and it is your business to stay
out, when you have a right to." But
all to no purpose. The young man
went on a search for a gun and am
munition, and somewhere in the first
corps found them among men who
had been wounded during the pre
ceding day. Before the action be
gan, he took his place in the ranks.
His regiment was stationed on a
sunken road running from the Em
mitsburg road to Cemetery Ridge, on
the northern edge of the historic
Peach Orchard. After a short ar
tillery fire, a body of Confederates
began to move at double quick from
the Emmitsburg road toward Little
Round Top, about 200 years south
of the sunken road. The conforma
tion of the intervening ground was
such that the cannon could not be
depressed so as to reach them, and a
'line of infantry, among which was
the 141st Pa., was hurried to a posi
tion south and east of the peach or
chard, where they opened a mus
ketry fire on the Confederate column,
which was pushing on a double
quick toward Little Round Top.
The Confederates paid no attention
to this, but some of their Infantry
or sharpshooters along the Emmits
burg road opened a scattering fire
on the Union line. One of tho first
Union soldiers killed by this fire wis
Ellery J. Bunnell; going Into the
battle solely from a patriotic sense of
duty, he sealed his devotion to the
union with his life.

ORCHARD MEETS
Apple Crop is Light but
Fruit is Good
PROBABLE PRICE FOR APPLES
WILL BE $1 A BUSHEL.
State Horticultural Inspector W.
H. Bullock, whose territory covers
Monroe, Pike and Wayne counties,
called at The Citizen office, last
Thursday afternoon, on his way
home from holding the Fall orchard
meetings.
To show up the results of spray
ing, he brought with him some per
fect specimens of apples. And they
were beauties, to say the least.
" We have Just been holding our
Fall orchard meetings," he said, "at
F. W. Osgood's, Ariel, and Judge
Searle's farm, Slko, and Anthony
Stump's, Pike county.
" These are our demonstration or
chards, where wo do our work.
We've had good results. Of course
the crop is light, but what fruit
there Is, is very good.
" The object Is to grow perfect
fruit. Those apples," he said, point
ing to the specimens of the Blush,
Pound Sweet, and Sixteen Ounce
varieties, he had with him, "are free
from scabs, 'worms, and all dls
eases.
" It was an awfully busy time, we
strucK for our Inspection trip.
uveryuody is cutting corn or dig'
ging potatoes. A week later, we
would probably have had a good at
tendance.
" We began at Osgood's on the
18th. On the 19th, wo went to
Judge Searle's, and to Stump's on
the 20th. It was the first season
with Judge Searle's orchard, but the
second with the other two orchards.
" It awakened them quite a little.
I heard a number say they would
spray next year, it snows up so
plain, the benefit from spraying, that
they can't get around it,
" The apples aro very knotty anu
Inferior In Wayne county, where
there was no spraying. There'll ho
no more fall orchard business this
year.
i uon t Know as l can answer
your question why the crop Is so
light this year. The dry weather
prohably, and It Is senerallv believ
ed the hot woathtr at tho-tima tho
trees were in bloom had something
to ao wun it. it was awfully hot
ana tne petals anu blossoms dried
up, turned brown and fell to the
ground.
" I think likely we'll Inspect right
up till Winter. Then we'll probably
visit the demonstration orchards and
do pruning in the forepart of the
Winter, after we are through spray
ing. We worked all Winter last
Winter.
" Mr. Osgood got a splendid crop
at Ariel. His trees are loaded. He
estimates 500 bushels, and that's a
small orchard. In our "model or
chard at Berlin, there'll be apples
sold there.
" I think apples will probably
bring $1 a bushel for good Winter
apples.
" I saw plum trees that have been
sprayed, loaded to tho ground. I
don't know of a plum orchard in the
county. Most farmers have just a
few trees for their own use. There
are no commercial pear orchards. I
don't know of one. Apples are the
best fruit we can market or ship."
" If you had a farm, what kind of
fruit would you plant?" was asked.
" I'd plant either apples or
peaches," answered Mr. Bullock,
proDaoiy Dotn. 'mere s more
money In peaches than any other
crop, if you got a market. But
they're fruit that you can't keen
long. That's one trouble. They
run in money fast, f you cot a uood
market, I tell you.
Yes, wo.'ve got one supervision
orchard that don't give good re
sults. We can't always get them to
ao wnat we want thorn to do."
How's tho chostnut cron. this
year, was inquired.
There's quite a good many chest
nuts," was Mr. Bullock's renly.
" It's a great year for nuts, hickory
nuts ana Deecnnuts. That's some
thing we haven't had for several
years now."
" Wormy as usual?"
" Oh yes. Well, It's caused by tho
chestnut weevil, The egg is laid in
the nut. It hatches there and feeds
there. I don't know how wo could
handle them. If they fed on the
leaf, we could spray. Chestnuts is a
little out of our line."
Mr. Bullock Is ono of tho twenty
two horticultural experts appointed
by State Economical Zoologist H. A.
Surface, whose business It is to go
up and down the broad acres of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
preaching in season and out to tho
farmers that their only hope of or
chard salvation Is to spray their
trees. And these men do preach
some purty powerful sermons, too.

GOOD FELLOWSHIP PREVAILS
AT THE POST-SEASON BAN
QUET ON SATURDAY
NIGHT. '
Base ball players, fans and Inter
ested sporting writers, to the num
ber of eighteen, enjoyed a splendid
post-season banquet at Heumann's
restaurant, Main street, last Satur
day night.
From the first course until the
last, tha menu was one long dream
of gastronomic delight. John Heu
mann made a decided hit with his
elegant spread, and there Is a move
ment on foot to have him umpire
th games next year, as Henry Bal
les has Just married and left for
Jeannette.
After the last man, had finished
the last course on the menu, speeches
were the order of the evening. Man
ager Leon H. Ross started tho ball
rolling by stating that Hessllng Is
still twirling for Honesdale, and won
no less than ten of the twelve games
In which he participated last Sum
mer.
Assistant Manager Richard J.
Bracey rose to the occasion and
made a tew droll remarks. In fact
pretty nearly everybody had some
thing to say, particularly E. E. Wil
liams and Joe Jacob. They kept the
crowd In good humor by relating a
number of lively stories.
Thomas Charlesworth sang and
played and danced the "chicken
reel" in his own inimitable style.
The evening was primed with the
spirit of good fellowship and it was
universally lamanted that such sea
sons of physical and social refresh
ment were not of more frequent oc
currence. The celebrants were:
Players: Captain Lesfer R. Brader,
who plays short, can cover second
and twirl a ball with like ease;
"Ben," familiarly known as "Pop"
Hessllng, who has been pitching for
Honesdale for the past forty years?
more or less; baseman William Man
gan, who is as clever at third as he
was at first; Catcher' George M.
Sandercock, Who is a veritable
"Stonewall" behind the bat; "Julcy,,'
alias Julius Polt, who has cut oft
many a home run "by His wonderful
catches In centre; Ernest Dudley,
who frequently covers left garden:
John C. Schilling, better known as
"Jack," who never lets anything get
away from him in right garden;
Clarence Helstern, a bright young
pitcher with a future before him;
and last but not least "Joe" Jacob,
the life of the team, popular with
the fair sex, and a good man in left
field.
Of course Manager Leon Ross was
there, as well as his right bower,
"Dick," known also by the more eu
phonious title of Richard J. Bracej?.
"Tom" Charlesworth, who takes
dandy pictures, and "takes" wher
ever he goes, was there in all his
glory, too.
The fans? Oh, yes. Let's see.
There was Walter O'Connell, Fred
