PRETTY SMALL
STORY OF BOILER EXPLOSION,
TOLD BY HONESDALE MAN
Edward Deitzer Visits Sccno of Ac
cident Bight After Explosion and
Tells Tho Citizen About tho
Horrors of the Catastrophe.
Owing to The Citizen going to
prcss shortly after the blowing up
of tho boiler in the Gilpin mill when .
four men wero killed, at Green-1
town last Thursday, wo wero un-'
able to reproduce a detailed ac
count of that awful catastrophe.
Sinco then we learned that Ed-
ward Deitzer, shoe dealer, of this
place, and John Andrews, of Ariel, I
were within a mile and a half of the
explosion and after the alarm was
flashed over tho phone he and Mr.
Andrews wero on their way to
Greentovvn. Mr. Detlzer said he
neard the explosion at Newfound-
land. People were walking, riding
and running. 'Women were mourn-
lng and wringing their hands. Mr.
Deitzer stated that an elderly womj
an was crying for joy because her.
son was saved. When ho and
Mr. Andrews arrived at Greentown,
an hour after tho explosion, Mr.
Deitzer said there wero 150 people
gathered around tho mill and as
many more coming from different
directions.
"It was a horrible sight and one
I do not want to witness again,"
quoted Mr. Deltzeii. "Three of the
men were killed outright, tho fourth
dying an hour afterwards in Gilpin
Bros.' store. A leg was missing
from ono of tho men. When the
boiler exploded Haden Rock, Anth
ony Bloss, Jr., Edward Hay and
George Croft wero in tho boiler
room, where they had placed their
dinner pails, as was the custom of
all the men mornings. Ono of the
men was blown up tho river 300
feet, where he was found upon tho
Ice. Two others landed across the
stream. One, I believe, Edward
Hay, was alive when found and re
mained conscious until a few min
utes beforo his death in Gilpin
Bros.' store. His wlfo was at his
sldo when ho died. Tho fourth man
went in an opposite direction to tho
1 first and was found about 200 feet
down tho river. When we saw the
men in the mill basement their bod
ies appeared like a bundle of rags
meatl, C0Vrcd Ylth
oioou anu tneir inces wero i
away by the terrific explosion.
I
never wantto look upon such
sight again."
"Tho boiler was located in tho,
extreme south-east end of a house
built especially for it. A section of
tho mill proper was also removed,
When tho explosion occurred tho
force with which tho boiler travoled
was incomprehensible. It was
found about 500 foot down tho rlv-
or. Near tho boiler was a 12-Inch
beech tree cut In twain. The breaks
wero clean. Ono was about six feet
above tho ground while tho second
, break was near tho butt of tho tree.
It was wonderful. Tho boilor evl-
dently was traveling with lightning
speed when It struck tho tree and
'hero Is no tolling what other dam-
aSo It might have done had it not
struck tho treo.
"A young man shivering and
shaking camo up to us and said, 'Oh

PIERRE PETERSON PARALYZED
BY FALLING FROM WAGON
Mariner of Lebanon Township Seri-
ously injured rrlday Aiglit on
Dyherry Bond While Bctiirning

What might prove to be a fatal ac-
cident occurred Friday afternoon

Picrro Petersen, a farmer living In
Lebanon township, tinexpectantly

Mr, Peterson was taking homo a

Toads tho coa, worked itg way t0 tho

possible means of saving himself fell
backwards out of tho wagon. He
struck on his spine which paralyzed
both lower limbs from tho hips. Mr.
Peterson also injured his back,

Mr. Peterson's team without a driver

Martin KImblo home, and Dr. E. W.
Burns was called. Ho did all he
could to relievo the man of his suf
fering and advised tho family to call

BOROUGH FATHERS RAISE THE

Business.
I Tho Honesdalo borough council bora of tho sub-committee of the
j hold Its regular monthly meeting In United Mine Workers union left to
tho City Hall building on Thursday day to attend the session of tho
evening and transacted some' Import-j minors In Now York city. Tho local
i ant business, mo meeting was can-,
ed to order by President Caufleld.
Secretary John Erk called .tho roll
and tho following members nnswor

Ham. The minutes of the last meet
ing wero read and approved after
which a report of tho treasurer -was
read. Ho reported as follows:
Cash In troasury I4G4.91
Borrowed from Farmers and
"Mechnnlcs Bank, less In
terest, $12. FiO 487.50
Total $952.41
Paid out $750.00
Cash on hand $202.33
No unfinished business was
brought before tho council. Tho
new business transacted was tho
matter of taxation for 1912. The
city has been running In debt for
several years and needs more money
to run the town on account of the
Increased expenses. It was moved
by Penwarden and seconded by
Mr. Kreitner to ralso tho tax levy to
5V mills to pay off the indebted
ness of tho town. The motion was
carried unanimously. The assessed
valuation of Honesdale Borough for
1912 Is $2,20C,445, which amount is
1 $13,495 more than last year. Last
year the tax levy was 4 mills and
tho Increase to 5 'A raises the tax
1 mill over what It was last year.
This amount will bring Into tho city
treasury $2,205 more than last year
or a total from tax receipts of $12,
135.45. The increased expenses of
keeping up the streets and improve
ments of the town Justifies this in
crease. The expense of running the
borough of Honesdale for one month
has been estimated at about $1,000,
and this does not Include payments
on the town's indebtedness. Mr.
Ham made a motion, seconded by Mr.
Kreitner, to appoint George Ross to
make out the tax duplicates. The
motion was carried.
Under tho 'head of communica
tions, a letter was read from a Are
truck company giving prices on fire
trucks. The matter nf purchasing a
truck and other sdpplles for Hose
Company No. 1 was discussed at
some length but the matter was fin
ally loft over to tho next meeting.
A letter from tho Bell Telophone
Company was read which stated they
were obliged to disconnect and dis
continue pay station at Electric light
plant.
Fire Chief Oday's action in notify
ing tho electric light plant regard-
lng the successive blowing of the
gong after the first alarm, was sus
tained by the council.
Attorney M. E. Simons addressed
the meeting in behalf of a Greater
Honesdalo and presented petitions
from two owners of land In Texas,
Edward P. Baird and Mrs. Manger,
on Park street, to be admitted into
the borough. The petitions were
unanimously accepted and they were
ordered signed and filed In tho Re
corder's office. It can be seen that
Greater Honesdalo is approaching
slow but sure and by tho admission
of small tracts of land Into tho bor
ough this can bo accomplished In
tlmo. Several more applications aro
expected to be 'presented at tho next
meeting.

In Wayne and Adjoining Counties
Last Year Farmers Aro Begin
ning to Learn Value of Spray

W. H. Bullock, horticultural in
spector of this district, made over
1,000 inspections, gave 120 public
demonstrations, besides delivering
a number of addresses In Bradford,
Sullivan, Wyoming, Carbon, Schuyl

In these demonstrations Mr. Bul

spraying and what spray material 1
necessary to do tho wor.c properly.
The San Jose scale Is more noticeable
than ever and unless something Is
dono by several orchardists and oth
er owners of fruit trees tho orchards
will bo dead. In fact, Mr. Bullock
says, the wood on some of tho trees.
Is dead now. Tho farmers are real
izing that In order to save their trees
they must spray and are taking nre
active interest in spraying.
There are 19 simorvision and dem
onstration orchards in Wayno coun
ty. In this number aro Included tho
model orchards located on tho farms
of Hull Brothers, Waymart; W. J.
Warwick, Narrowsburg, R. D. 1;
Hon. A. T. Searlo, Slko. and W. W.
Baker, Gravity. Mr. Baker raised
larger crop last year than over har
vested on his farm. He gathered
400 bushels from his orchard. All
trees were first pruned and were then
sprayed three different times. Tho
Baldwin boro best with the King ap
ple a close second. An oyster scalo
upon the trees last year has been
killed consequently Mr. Baker will
spray only twice this season. His or
chard Is way ahead of the avorago
orchard In production, and by spray
ing It has demonstrated to tho aver
age farmer that this is the only
method to preservo apple trees in
this climate.
