Terrible Accident Which Took PI nee
nt llorrlnpton Park, X. J., on
Sunday.
Threo hundred women, men and
children and fifteen priests were
thrown twelve feet Into a struggling
mass on Sunday when a church floor
collapsed at Harrington Park, N. J.
Two were crushed to death and fif
ty were more or less seriously lnjur-
CG.
The throng, gathered from all the
countryside twenty miles from Wee
hawken, was attending services at the
laying of the corncrstono of the
Roman Catholic church of Our Lady
of Victory.
The exorcises had heen hegun hy
Father J T. Delehantry, rector of the
parish and head of St. Andrew's
church. In Wcstwood. The Very Rev.
Dean J .1. Cunneely. of llackcnsaek,
had full charge of the ceremonies, in
which participated priests from
churches in Union Hill, Englewood,
Bergen Fields and other towns.
Trains had loft New York hearing
visitors from that city and Brooklyn,
while hundreds of churchgoers ar
rived in carriages and automobiles
from towns near by.
Supports Snap, Floor Palls.
Threo hundred persons wero in the
church and a hundred moro were
about to enter when the temporary
supports bracing the floor snapped in
two. The centre of the floor sank In
to the basement, the hoarding form
ing a bow-like depression. Into which
the congregation was thrown, while
three heaps of lumber that had rest
ed on the floor were piled on top of
them It was mainly the lumber that
killed, crushed and Injured those
who were caught In the collapse.
The dean and the priests were
grouped about a wooden cross five
and a half feet high that had been
erected where the chancel of the edi
fice is to be built. Near them stood
the women of the congregation.
Father Borgan, the past grand chap
lain of the Knights of Columbus, had
just uttered the first four words of
an opening address, when there came
two puffs of sawdust from either end
of the floor, followed by a cave In.
The priests and the women were the
first to be precipitated into the base
men, and they suffered. most of the
injuries. Men and women who had
been standing near windows clung
to them frantically, swinging over
the abyss, and were rescued by means
of ladders from the outside.
Co-Opcrntlvo Association Sell.
Hoys Are Thankful.
Hose Co. No. 1 desires Tho Citizen
to express Its gratitude and. also
thanks to the people of Honesdale
for their liberal support and super
abundant contributions of all kinds
of excellent eatables for tho supper
eerved at the armory after the enter
tainment This overflowing gener
osity was not only gratifying, but
exceedingly encouraging to tho mem
bers in their efforts to more thor
oughly equip their department with
fire fighting apparatus and them
selves for efficient service in tho per
formance of their firemanic duties.
Tho left-over food was distributed
among especially worthy and deserv
ing people.
At n meeting of tho stockholders
of tho Wayno County Co-Operatlvo
Association on Thursday last It was
unanimously voted to sell their groc
ery business to tho prcsont manager,
P. E. Lawyer; consldciittlon private.
This association was organized
four years ago tho 1st of April and
started In the Itldgoway store on
Lower Main street; finding tho lo
cation poor and tho storo not largo
enough they moved to tholr present
location nearly opposite tho City Hall
where they have done a steadily In
creasing business.
Tho association was promoted by
wprklngmcn, for tho working man
and the idea was that all tho profits
over and above expenses should be
paid back to the stockholders and
customers who traded at tho storo
and this has been done, nearly
$1,000 having been paid back to
them, flf tho 120 stockholders,
however, there wore GO per cent, or
more who took no Interest In the
I store and did not trade there and
the working people In general did
not seem to grasp tho opportunity
offered so that tho store did not
grow as It should and hence did not
fully attain its object. Tho present

It. Gumper are practically the same
ones who were elected at the start.
Tho law requiring all Co-Operative
Associations of this nature to take
an inventory every threo months, it
made a great deal of work for these
men for which they received no
pay, giving their labor for the good
of the association, and so when they
received a good offer for the busi
ness thought it wise to sell because
of the above-mentioned lack of in
terest, the hard work attached and
tho fact that tho offer was good
enough to let them pay all their ob
ligations with Interest at C per cent.,
and their decision was unanimously
approved by the stockholders on
Thursday evening.
From a financial standpoint the
store has been a success, mainly be
cause of its economical manage
ment. It has paid C per cent, inter
est to the stockholders ever since Its
organization, beside an average an
nual dividend of 10 per cent, on the
amount of money represented by its
capital stocks.
The present manager, P. E. Law
yer, who has successfully operated
tho business for tho past two years,
has secured a bargain In his pur
chase and deserves all lie can. get
out ot it because tie has -worked hard
for small wages ever since his em
ployment. His purchase carries with
It the good will of nearly every
stockholder In tho association and
wo are informed that they voted un
animously to stand by him, to help
him make a success of his new venture.
To Develop Wayne County and Make a Larger and
Better Honesdale
Board of Trade Recommends Pave for Maple
City's Main StreetPlan to Help Farmers Dis
pose of Their Produce-A Market and a Can
ning Factory Discussed.
lEnthuslasm predominated aX
Friday's evening's session of the
Greater Honesdalo 'Board of Trade.
Questions affecting tho future of
Honesdalo and Wayne county wero
discussed.
Tho paving of 'Main street with
brick was recommended by the Street
and Highway committee. The report
was presented by William Katz, a
member of tho committee. Mr.
Katz. In presenting the matter boforo
the Board of Trade, stated that tho
committee had thoroughly discussed
the subject and found that tho town
had expended between $9,000 and
$10,000 upon Its streets during tho
past threo years. Ho estimated the
cost of pave at about $50,000 and
stated that under a new highway law
that the town council had powor to
pave Main street without plnqlng
it to a vote or receiving tho signa
tures of a majority of property own
ers that might favor the Improve
ment. The petition recommends the
paving of Main street with brick
with a suitable concrete base, and
that tho street bo provided with a
curbing of suitable thickness and
depth to withstand frost; also that
suitable provision be made for sew
erage and waste water. It was stat
ed that there would bo little If any
increase in taxes for tho improve
ment; that there was a possibility of
receiving State .lid in tho construc
tion of tho road. It was mentioned
that tho school board had retired
two of Its bonds in two years' time
and that if tho town were bonded
for the Improvement the present
generation would not bo expected to
take care of all the bonds. Tho re
port, "which boro the signatures of
J. D. Weston, William Katz, F. W.
Schuerholz, S. A. McMullen, Jr.,
and Charles P. Searle, upon motion
of L. C. Weniger and seconded by L.
Blumenthal, was accepted and the
recommendations mado to the bor
ough council.
President P. W. Kroltnor stated
that ho was in Teceipt of a letter
from a Arm In Now Jersey which de
sired to locato a canning factory In
Honesdale, claiming that It had
heard of Wayne county's excellent
npples and thought perhaps tho
Board of Trado might become Inter
ested. The secretary was instructed
to communicate with the parties.
Along tho line of tho sale of farm
produce and a market for same was
suggested by a member. Ho stated
that if an experienced buyer could
bo hired by tho Board of Trado to
guarantee a sale of apples, ruta
bagas and other farm products, free
of charge, to tho farmers that It
would mean a market next season
for apples alone, in driving districts
from Honesdale, of from $",C00 to
$10,000 that otherwise would re
main on tho farm. It was suggested
by him that the agent bo furnished
an office in Honesdalo and given tho
market quotations and what other
Information necessary; also that a
monthly statement bo made showing
the sale during that time and what
had been received. If the farmers
will show their appreciation and
would support a proposition of this
nature, they are requested to ex
press their willingness by dropping
n postal signifying their Intentions
to the Secretary of the Greater
Honesdale Board of Trade, Hones
dalo, Pa.
In connection with a produce mar
ket for Honesdale, a cold storage
was also discussed. If Wayne's
farmers are alert to the situation,
that too will follow.
W. J. Barnes, W. B. Lesher and F.
C. Kimble were elected new mem
bers. Treasurer Edward Deltzer report
ed $271.55 In the treasury. Since
the last meeting $19.30 'had been re
ceived for dues.

POPE'S HEALTH GOOD.

report of the pope's death originated
through a telegram which was sent
to an attache at tho papal nuncia
ture, announcing the death of his
father, Tho word- used was "papa,"
which means either "pope" or
".father."
The attache assumed that It was
tho popo who wa3 dead, and ho so
Informed tho Spanish government.
Premier Canalejas, In turn, com
municated tho news to tho reporters.
They flashed tho report over tho
world.
A Resume of The Battle With
The Ballots
Good School Record.
Our Paupack correspondent in
forms us that Anna K. Gumblo has
attended school every day for six
years without missing a slnglo day,
and that Edith Gumblo has attend
ed regularly five years without
missing a day. Gertrude Fowler and
Arthur Trivelpieco, in addition to the
above mentioned young ladies, havo
been in attendance every day during
tho past year.
The vote In Wnyno county was
about half of the usual number of
(ballots cast. In Honesdalo tho
total number was 339. Of this num
ber 45 wero Democratic, leaving a
balance of 294 for tho Republicans.
In somo instances voters marked
their ballots for all tho National and
State delegates.
At White Mills several ustjl stick
ers for Representative In General As
sembly, voting for Theodore Klein,
but failed to mark on X opposlto the
name, which necessitated tho throw
ing out of t'ho ballot.
No Democratic return sheet was re
turned for Preston No. 2, which ac
counts for no report from that elec
tion district In our tablo.
In Buckingham No. 2 G. Corey,
D., received seven votc3 for dolegato
to tho National convention, being tho
same number cast from that district
for C. A. McCarty.

any survivors other than those pick

Tho llrst news of tho disaster to
the Titanic was received by the Mar
