CORTRIGHT CASE TAKES
SUDDEN TURN
A
AVayne Concrete Supply and Con
struction Co., and Pierre and
linker Granted Motion for Non
Suit liy Court Kreltner Urns.
Case Continued to Xe.xt
Term.
Tho case of C. A. Cortrlght & Son,
trespass, in which they claimed $3,
000 damages from Kreltner Dros.,
The Wayne Concrete Supply and
Construction Co., and Pierce & Bak
er and which was started in tho lo
cal courts hero on Thursday last,
eamo to a sudden end on Friday
afternoon, when all the evidence of
the plaintiff being in, tho attorneys
for The Wayne Concrete Supply and
Constriu tion Co. and Pierce and
linker made motions for compulsory
non-suit on the reason that
no eudeme hr-d been given
showing the liability of tho two de
fendants in the alleged Joint action.
Tho plaintiff was allowed to amend
statement omitting two defendants
and to proceed against Kreltner
Bros, alone. The jury, who were
out taking a lecess while this was
being argued, were called In and the
situation explained to them. Judge
S'arlo told them that the case had
oeen withdrawn. He said in part:
' This is an action brought against
three defendants alleging joint neg
ligence on the part of all three
whi. h resulted In the Injury to this
property. The Wayne Concrete Sup
ply and Construction Co. had no
connection with Kreltner Bros., also
Pierre & Baker had no conncetl)n
with them. They were under sep
arate contract. There was no evi
dence to connect them with the oth
er parties in the action. There was
not a joint negligence. It was ruled
to strike out the two defendants and
proceed against Kreltner Bros, alone.
This ae iijw stands stricken from
the record and the case against
Kreltner Bros, will be taken up at
some otrer term of court."
Nearly every one is familiar with
the facts of the case but a brief sum
mary Is given for tho benefit of
those who do not. On the evening
of October 2uth of last year tho
building on the Cortrlght property
located on Main street between the
Lyric theatre on the north and Mar
tin Caufleld's property on the south,
suddenly collapsed. The building
had just been finished and therefore
it had not yet been used. This ac
tion was brought to recover damages
for the loss of the building, alleging
that the construction was faulty, the
concrete blocks to havo been of In
ferior quality and that the work of
tho masons was not proper. (Many
witnesses, among them several ex
perts on building and construction
work, testified to tho faulty construc
tion and many to tho fact that the
front wall had bulged previous to
the collapse. The testimony was too
lengthy to reproduce but it will all
be threashed out again at the next
term of court.

Honesdale was an Ideal place and
that the people wero willing here to

work. Upon the recommendation
given, .Miss Arden came here. To a
representative, of The Citizen Miss
Arden stated that she was not sorry
that she came to Honesdale, that she
was greeted alike by all denomina
tions and that everybody seemed to
be Interested In the work she repre
sented. Miss Arden emphasized es
pecially the brotherly feeling exist
ing here and Catholic, Protestant
and Hebrew seemed to bo united.
Miss Arden claims there are 3C,
000 rooms in the city of New York
containing no windows and that the
ordinary living apartment is 14x20
feet. As many as a family of 12 oc
cupy these quarters. The room in
many tenements is divided, the only
light being what will penetrate
through half a window. The children
are half fed, the fathers not earning
enough to support his family. Miss
Arden said sho has spent ten years
in the slums of New York In the In
terest of neglected children. She
claims that the people of Honesdale
have a most beautiful town, in fact.

The object of the society Is to send
the tenement children to the coun

from churches, missions, kinder
gartens, settlements, hospitals and
dispensaries. The Society's twelve

children; the fund sent 4,959 to
farmers' families, making a total of
11,044 In all. The expenditures
wore $52,229.07 and the average
cost per capita, $4.73. The society
pays car faro to destination and re

nual budget of $50,000 Is received
for tho fresh air fund and every dol

Longfellow beautifully writes:
Come to me, O ye children!
And whisper In my ear,
What the birds and the winds aro
singing
In your sunny atmosphere.
For what aro all our contrlvlngs,
And tho wisdom of our books.
When compared with your caresses,
And the gladness of your looks?
Ye aro better than all tho ballads
That were ever sung or said;
For ye aro living poems.
And all tho rest aro dead.

OVERNMENT ACCEPTS CITY
HALL FOR NEW POSTOFF
Postmaster Allen Received Information to That
Effect SaturDay Work To Begin At Once
City Hall No Longer a White Elephant.
THE PROJECT ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN
The City Hull 1ms been accepted by the Government as
a Postoffice for Honesdale, the lease dating August 1, 1012,
and continuing for a period of ten years from that date with a
privilege of renewing tho same.
This glad news was received by Postmaster Martin B
Allen Saturday morning, the information being sent by First
Assistant Postmaster General C. P. Granfiold, of "Washing
ton, D. C.
Tho Postmaster immediately turned the letter over to
Martin Caufield, president of the Town Council, which body
made the proposition to the Government, after it had been
advocated by The Citizen. Tho letter stated that tho Govern
ment would accept the Council's proposition of Si, 200 rent per
year for a period of ten years, tho building to be equipped
with rural delivery furniture and also for a postal savings
bank when necessary. Tho letter further stated that a represen
tative of the Federal Government would arrive in a few days
to complete arrangements for the installation of the postoffice
in the City Hall.
The Citizen, amid protests from a number of merchants
and individuals, advocated the location of the postoffice in the
City Hall. It kept pounding at it, telling the public and tax
payers the benefits that would be derived if it were located
there; how then the town would bo receiving money from the
building, which as it now stands is a "white elephant" on
the town. "Wo brought this to the attention of the public
and as tho articles continued to appear they won converts.
The majority of tho people finally came on our side, which,
together with the postmaster, office employees, clerks, carriers
and the Citizen, rejoice in the new location of the postoffice.
Work on remodeling the City Hall will begin at once
as the contract with the Government calls for occupancy
August 1st. The Town Council committee on making the
change is composed of Couucilmen W. H. Kreitner, Thomas
J. Canivan and H. C. Rettew.
The part to be occupied by the Government for a Post
office is now used by J. J. Canivan as a home, Burgess Mc
Carty and the council. The latter will meet on the second
floor after the building is occupied by the government.
President Martin Caufield called a special meeting of the
town council for monday afternoon at 5 o'clock at which time
action was taken ou the proposition? The council officially ac
cepted tho contract of tho government, allowing Si, 200 rental
per annum. The board authorized the architect, H. F. Weaver,
to start at once in making the necessary changes.
Chief of Police J. J. Canivan has been notified to vacate,
also Burgess McCarty, who has had his law office in tho council
chambers, since the Roif fire last January.
CONCERNING TAFTS NOMINA
TION. The Itesult at Chicago.
(New York Tribune.)
The President has been renomi
nated, after such long, bitter and de
moralizing strife as the whole coun
try hopes never to see repeated. Mr.
Taft deserved a renominatlon hy
reason of tho unselfish patriotism
and general excellence of his admin
istration. He deserved It especially
at this time, because he has stood
unflinchingly for tho fundamental
principles of government which aro
essential to the preservation of or
dered liberty and tho security of
those least able to protect thorn
selves. There was no one elso to
whom, at the close of a passionate
contest In defense of those princi
ples,, tho party could more hopefully
turn for leadership In the difficult
campaign which is before It. Had
there been available a man on whom
tho majority of tho convention could
havo heartily united in tho confident
belief that ho would be stronger at
tho polls next November, the Presi
dent would havo urged that lie
should bo chosen.
Tho Triiinipii oi night.
(New York Times.)
In tho nomination of Mr. Taft the
Constitution triumphs, our form of
Government Is vindicated against
dangerous assaults, the courts, repre
sentative institutions, the guaran
tees of liberty and property and tho
orderly administration of law aro
safeguarded. President Taft's per
sonal victory Is notaolo and groat,
but ho would bo the Hrst to protest
that It should bo held secondary to
tho triumph of constitutional princi
ples and a government of laws, for
that Is supreme.
Give Hint Fair Play.
(Now York Herald.)
Mr. William H. Taft, tho most
distinguished member of his party,
one of tho safest and sanest Prcsl
dents wo havo ever had, a Judge
with a record second to none, a
President with a record glowing with
common sense and goldon achieve
ment, was renominated at Chicago
last night.
'His victory has been dearly
bought, and yet It Is ono of the most
notablo and decisive In political an
nals. Mr. Taft'B greatness In tho
latter days of this contest, cmblt
tored, envenomed and onsllmed by
his opponents, has stood out with
Himalayan grandeur. This man Is
never so great as when ho Is facing
trials and perplexities.
IIIo has mado somo mistakes, but
ho has dono a great many lofty and
magnificent things for tho people.
Through his administration ho has
held tho groat business fabric steady.
Ho deserves well at tho hands of bis
country. Above all things, he de
serves fair play.
Tlio President.
(Now York Sun.)
It Is tn Mr. TVlft'u ovorlnoHni
credit that he based his campaign for
renominatlon squarely and solidly
upon tho cause of constitutional gov
ernment. No temptation of momen
tary advantage has lured him toward
tho border line beyond which lie po
litical madness and national destruc
tion. Tho President's adequate con
ception of the great principles upon
which rest the permanency of our
institutions and tho future of the
United States of America was mani
fested at tho very beginning of this
extraordinary crisis. He has never
wavered in faith or wabbled In bear
ing. President Taft tho Standard-Bonier.
(Scranton Truth.)
President Taft's nomination, as the
Republican standard-bearer in this
year's national campaign, was the
lighting cllmnx of the remarkable
convention which terminated an ex
citing week's work at Chicago last
Saturday night. This gratifying re
sult is moro than a personal victory
for the distinguished candidate. It
is tho triumph of fair play and po
litical sanity over tho sinister and
unworthy methods that wero resort
ed to for tho purposo of discrediting
a high-minded, courageous and pa
triotic President, and depriving him
of tho recognition he had justly
earned at tho hands of the American
people.
No fair-minded man could deny
that President Taft was entitled to a
re-nomination. His omlnent services
to tho nutlon, as the earnest and un
flinching upholder of progress at
home and honorable peace with all
countries, deserved tho cordial In
dorsement of tho Republican party.
and an unanimous renowal of Its con-
lldence for another term.
'President Taft and what ho stands
for are not only representative of
tho highest aspirations of tho Repuh
lican party, but they aro also In ac
cord with tho orderly and progressive
spirit or tlio nation, along rational
ana constitutional lines.
Although grlovousiy hindered by
thoso who should havo been fore
most to help It, tho Republican Na
tional Convention succeeded In do
ing a groat week's work for tho
country. It relogatod to tho rear
tho advance agonts of chaos, and It
nominated a candidato and adopted
a platform that dosorve, and will
receive, cordial popular support In
tins year s important campaign.

ASSAULT AND BATTERY CASE
May Bring Out Whether or Not n
.Man Will be Allowed to Carry
Weapons of Defense.
On Thursday afernoon while com
ing homo from work from the Irving
Cut Glass factory Henry Cook
alleges that ho was attack
ed by ono Allen Bodio near
the Texas brldgo and assaulted. He
tiiereupon had a warrant issued for
the arrest of Bodio charging assault
and battery and the hearing took
place on that evening before a Jus
tice of tho peace In which Bodle was
hold In $100 to appear In court,
although about twenty witnesses
testified that Bodio did not strike the
man, and tho fact that they were all
union men was significant. Bodio
then had a warrant issued for the
arrest of Cook charging him with
carrying concealed weapons. Cook
also was held to court in $ 200 bond.
Tho affair although insignificant on
the face of It, presents an Issue of
vital Importance to overy liberty
loving man, whether union or non
union, and that Is whether or not a
man Is to be allowed to earn an hon
est living when he has many de
pendent upon his earnings for their
dally bread. The union Is all right
In its place and is tho working man's
armor of defense against capital,
but it is going far beyond those
bounds when It persists in depriving
a man of working, who has no other
means of support. When a man joins
the union he swears never to give
testimony against a fellow member,
therefore when his testimony is in
direct opposition to the truth, he
purgors himself in that cause. Tho
matter will be threashed out in
court and it will undoubtedly bo
shown that a man is justified In
carrying a weapon of defense under
the circumstances.
