D. & H. FREIGHT
10 BE IMPROVED
There is a Rumor Currant
to Run Through Freight
to Scranton
IT IS STATED THAT THK DFIiA
WAHK AND HUDSON COMPANY
WIIjIj OPEItATK FOUH Tit A INS
INSTEAD OF TWO, GOING BACK
TO OliD SCIIEDUliE 11USINESS
MEN'S ASSOCIATION AND
DOAItl) OF TItADE DUSY.
Since the Delaware and Hudson
Railroad company removed ono of
Honcsdalo's freight trains, reducing
the servlco from four to two trains
dally, thoro has been general dissat
isfaction among the shippers and re
ceivers of freight In Honesdale and
adjoining districts. Tho Business
Men's association and Board of Trade
have appointed committees to await
upon the olllclals for tho purposo of
having tho former servlco restored If
possible. Although no definite or
positive answer was ever made or
given the committee, it is understood
that those in charge of operating tho
trains are contemplating somo
change In the running of the freight
trains on 'the Honesdale branch of
the D. & H. railroad.
It Is true, and the company admit
it to a certain extent, that it costs
ruoro now to operate their trains from
Carbondale to Farvlew than It did
when only ono crew made the four
trips daily. Aside from tho regular
freight engine, from one to two
larger type locomotives are required
to push the Honesdale freight up tho
Mooslc mountain from Carbondalo
almost everyday. Sometimes it Is
necessary to go back and bring a
second Installment of cars before tho
train can come eastward from Far
view. Aside from extra pushers up the
mountain, two largo type engines
havo been coming to Honesdale
every Sunday morning for several
months to take to Carbondale the
week's collection of empty coal and
freight cars. The trains average
about 40 cars; sometimes they are
less and then again more. The
Honesdale freight, hauling anywhere
from ten to nineteen cars, daily, has
all it-can handle to take care of the
local business without taking empty
dumps. These cars collect in the
Drie yard and arc the D. & H. roll
ing stock, tho Erie delivering them
to the D. & H. at this place.
Two additional trains on tho
HndpS(lale branch would mean more
bJlTness for the D. & H. and other
idllroad companies soliciting freight
from Honesdale. If itho D. & H. has
anything good up its sleeve now is
tho Uihe to try it out before the
spring schedule goes into effect.
The Honesdale outgoing freight
has grown rapidly during the past
few years, or from about eight cars
to eighteen dally. Tho local mer
chants and and manufacturers are
deserving of ifour freight trains a
day upon this road and they should
get it.
It Is rumored that there is a pos
sibility of running a through freight
from Scranton to Honesdale, return
ing In the evening or late afternoon
and that the train that Is now be
ing operated from Carbondale to
Honesdale will start from Honesdale,
go to Scranton and return to Hones
dale tho same night. If this were
possible the Honesdale shippers
would bo satisfied. It Is hoped that
such might be tho case.
Another good feature connected
with the above rumored proposition
would bo that while tho Scranton
crew was hero It could servo as a
yard engine to place cars. A re
ceiver of freight could then have his
car switched when he wanted It with
less inconvenience. It would also
do away with maintaining a switch
engine and crew, an Item of seeming
expense, argued by the company.

Tho tenement house of D. W.
Griinth, Carbondalo, was destroyed
by lire at 8:30 Wednesday night.
The building was rented to John
O'Hoa, but tho family was not homo
when tho lire occurred, being at a
neighbor's. Mr. O'Hea claims that
ho was away from tho house about
an hour. When asked by a Citizen
representative If ho had a Idea as to
I how tho lire caught, ho roplled that
he thought from tho stovo plpo be

tho flro had broken out, having been
called by phono from a neighbor's
that his homo was burning. Tho
townspeople saved some of tho fur
niture, but Mr. O'Hea says his loss
lis $27G, He carried InBuranco to
'the amount of $300 on his effects.

Lincoln's Ambition.
"Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether
it be true or not, I can say for one, that I have no other so
great, as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men, ren
dering myself worthy of their esteem." From an address
March 9, 1832.
Diligence.
The leading rule for tlicr-ln of every calling is diligence.
Leave nothing for tomorrow w"h can be done today. Never
let your correspondence fall benind. Whatever piece of busi
ness you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertain
ing to it which can be done." From a lecture written by Abra
ham Lincoln about July 1. 1850.
Courage.
"1 do the very best 1 know how, the very best 1 can and I
mean to keep doing so 'till the end. If the end brings me out
all right what is said against me won't amount to anything."
Lincoln.

LOOK OUT FOR THE FAKIRS
CHECK-RAISERS OPERATING IN
I jA OKA WANNA VALLEY MAY
COME HONESDALE WAY LET
TER Oh WARNING SENT OUT.
Tho Scranton banks have been
notified that checkraisers are operat
ing in that city and vicinity. A let
ter from the Protective department
of the American Bankers Association
has been sent to banks warning them
against this method of illegal means
of obtaining money.
The letter reads:
"This agency Is informed that
check raisers havo been reported as
operating In your section, swindling
business men by raising ' the
amounts on their genulno checks.
"Therefore, wo are sending this
notice to banks and business men be
causo it Is often dlfllcult to appre
hend forgers of this class unless
their operations are reported when
first discovered by the signer of tho
manipulated cheek. It Is suggested
that bank depositors make it a rule
to check up their pass books as often
as possible, and uso all duo precau
tions to discover such alterations, If
any, while there Is still tlmo to ob
tain ovidenco.
"Care in writing amounts is rec
ommended, ns well as tho employ
ment of a dovlco that stamps n limit
ing amount across tho check, such
as Is gonorally used by tho banks,
and that evory check, no mattor to
whom Issued, should bo properly
stamped with the same.
"This warning applies to practical
ly all tho business concorns that Is
sue c.iecks, since It Is our exporlonco
that check raisers manage to get
possession of gonulno checks In tho
most unexpected ways, and tho loss
often falls on tho slgnor rather than
on tho bank."
W. H, Ham Is Improving

learn of his improved condition.
REV. H. T. PURKISS EXPLAINS
TELLS OF HIS MISFORTUNE IN A
LETTER TO A CITIZEN REPRE
SENTATIVE. (From our Arlington Correspondent)
In a letter recently received from
tho Rev. H. T. Purkiss, who had somo
hard luck In England, an explanation
Ib made for his absence. In part tho
letter reads as follows:
Rochester, Kent, England,
Feb. 3, 1912.
"1 had a very unpleasant experi
ence to pass through, which has loft
mo almost out of my mind. Things
havo happened so rapidly and eo
many misunderstandings that I hard
ly know where to start to put thorn
right. Will tell you all about It when
I get back. I had started upon my
return Journey on Wednesday, Jan.
17, on tho ship Philadelphia, when.
by some unaccountable reason, my
oaggago got lost, and after a very
careful search through tho shin It
was ultimately found In tho steerage
Hold or tho ship with my labels torn
off and others put on and some ono
elso's namo written on them. When
It was opened everything was gone
and I was obliged to go back to my
own people. I put mysolf In tho
hands of tho American' council nnd
ho Is trying to work out tho tangled
web for mo. Just when I shall bo
homo I do not know at present, but
as soon as I know I will lot you
know. Mrs. Purkiss will stay horo
for somo time or until wo know
what can bo dono. (Slgnod), Fra
ternally yours, II. T. Purkiss."

HORSE RACING AT TYLER HILL
In the dead of winter, with old
Mercury hugging zero mark, somo
of tho sporting populace of Damas
cus township Journeyed to Laurel
Lake on Friday last to witness a
horse race tn that popular body of
water. It Is not the first time that
trots were pulled off at that placo
and those who attended knew some
thing good was in store for them, as
it was whispered over the 'phone
(and of course every farmer's son
heard It) that Ed. Dermody's little
sorrel would race that day.
Dr. George Cade entered his steed,
but Dermody's sorrel easily won first
honor, according to our correspond
ent. Other meets. It is claimed, will
follow before the Ice breaks on the
lake. Considerable Interest Is mani
fested and somo records made last
Friday may be hard to beat at the
coming Wayne county fair.
