PRICE 2 CENTS ATTEMPT TO KEEP WIFE FROM HUSBAND'S FUNERAL Relatives of Late Thomas Dolphin Ask Wife's Uncle, Win. Jayne, to Stay Away From Funeral of Murdered Man Also Dolphin's Wife. An unpleasant feature developing from the murder of Thomas Dolphin of Waymart, a Delaware and Hud eon section boss, who was shot and killed by Marsden Hubbard on Sun day last, took place on Monday last when Dolphin's relatives told wil-' Hani Jayne, uncle of the murdered mem, Kin mem oy ipiacins ppisonea man's wife to go home after ho had I Paper in a room. Don t use gone to Jessup to attend 'Dolphin's sticky fly paper for contest pur funeral Mr. Jayne. It Is alleged, Poses. It will not be allowed. Got was told that It would be more bar- the flies you can, anyway you monious for him if he would not n bring them to this office and at stay, but to take the next train to the end of the season you will get Waymart. The relatives also told a reward. Perhaps you will l be suc Mr. Jayne that if Mrs. Dolphin, tho cessful in obtaining the $10 prize murdered man's wife, had planned and then you may only get the con to attend tho funeral that they solatlon prizo, but that is $5. Are . it 1 Tint tnnsn nHpq trnrth trvini? fnr? wouiu conBiaer li a great iavor u ho (Jayne) would notify Mrs. Dol phin that she, too, was not wanted to attend her husband's funeral. Mr. Jayne returned on the very next train from Jessup where out of the kindness of his heart, ho went to attend tho funeral. He arrived at Carbondale and was met at tho sta tion by his son, who told him that Mrs. Dolphin had left Waymart about noon, having secured a livery rig and drove to Carbondale, tak ing the 1 o'clock train for Jessup. Mr Jayne did not meet Mrs. Dol phin in Jessup, his train passing her's enroute. He returned to Way mart with his son.. Not attend her husband's funer al' The feeling of Mr. Dolphin's relatives must be wrought up far be yond the normal when they would offer the slightest objection to tho widow of the unfortunate victim tak ing part In the sad obsequies of her late husband. Undoubtedly upon more matured deliberation no rea son could possibly suggest Itself why she and her uncle may not be present without any undue or exag gerated Importance being attached to their actions. But the actions of people under circumstances sur rounding the unfortunate affair can not be judged by any rule of con duct which ordinarily applies to the conduct of men. IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION HOMELESS Owing to Changes in City Ilall Or ganization Has Become Destitute of Place of Meeting Maple Trees Affected. The Honesdale Improvement As sociation, which for several years has been meeting In the city hall, is now without a regular place to con duct its sessions. The firemen came to the ladies' rescue on Monday and kindly opened their parlors for their reception for the evening meeting. Miss Caroline Petersen, president, called the session to order, using a new gavel which was presented to the association by Mrs. S. E. Jen kins, of Chicago. Upon the handle is a silver plate bearing tho following initials and date: " H. I. A., March, 1912." The new gavel seemed to put new enthusiasm and increased vim into the meeting as considerable business of importance was trans acted. Among the most Important was the discussion of the blight that is affecting Honesdale's beautiful maple trees. Several, in different parts of the town, have been reported as be ing affected and give evidence of approaching death of the tree. Steps will bo taken to ascertain whether something cannot be done at once to check the blight and save the trees. Tho treasurer reported donations amounting to 35 as follows: $25 from Mrs. Loring It. Gale, Rlverdale-on-the-Hudson; $10 from Judge Mor timoro Addoins, New York City; also Rev. and Mrs. C. C. Miller gave mon ey Instead of holding a tea. Mrs. W. J. Ward presented the almost de pleted treasury with a neat sum as tho result of holding a chain tea The association desires its members to continue- holding these teas as tho money goes Into the tree fund. Now that something has affected the trees It is all tho more important that they should be continued so in case that money may bo desired if occasion demands it. Complaint was entered against young men using profane and ob scene languago evenings In North Park. Tho secretary was instructed to wrlto to tho proper authorities that tho practice may be stopped. Tho association desires tho town council to place a light in Riverside Park between Main and East streets. The benches In said park will bo lociteu to tne trees by a padlock to prevent their being carried away and broken. Complaint was made to the town council of the neglected way In which tho gutter on East Park street was left by tho street commissioner.

The Citizen is the Best POULTRY ASSOCIATION HOLD MEETING Enthusiastic Raisers of Highbred Poultry Unite on Praise for Pa per on "Incubation." Tho Wayne County Poultry Asso ciation held a meeting at the home of Henry Murrman on High street on Tuesday and It was largely attended by poultry fanciers of Honesdale and vicinity. The meeting was called to order by the president, E. E. Kins man, and after consldarable business was talked over and dispensed with the question of a poultry show for this winter was brought up for dis cussion. It was unanimously decid ed to hold such a show between Christmas and New Year's and this seemed to excite no little enthusiasm among the members who are all ex tensively engaged In raising fancy and thoroughbred poultry. The only thing' that the association needs to make an affair of that kind A success Is tho hearty support of tho people of the county. Without that support a show would mean, little or nothing. The Idea of the association is to educate tho people of Wayne county in raising high bred poultry and to set a higher standard in the raising of their poultry for market and also to get them to take an in terest in tho raising of high class stock for exhibition purposes. The association has about fifty members and has been In exlstance about three years, during which time great ad vances have been mado in the work. F. W. Schuerholz was at the meet ing in tho Interests of his high grade imported Belgium Campine stock of wnicn lie is very enthusiastic. Mr. Murrman of High street, keeps Indian Runner Ducks, Barred Ply mouth Rocks and Hambergs. He has a big poultry yard and is ex tensively engaged In the raising of fancy poultry. Mr. Robinson is Interested In Rhode Island Reds and says that he had about 400 hatched this spring or about ninety ner cent, of a hatch Ho ha3 been raising birds for show and utility purposes for about four years. The next meeting of tho associa tlon will bo held at tho farm homo of Ralph Martin, above Hawley, on Saturday, August 24. Much regret was expressed at tho loss of Russell Erk from tho active membership by the association as he has accopted a partnership with Dr. Corson, of Scranton, located at Dal- ton, in the poultry business. Mr, Erk always took an active nart In tho work and acted at one tlmo as secretary for the Wayne County Poultry association. During tho meeting a very credl bio paper was read by Mr. Robinson on "Incubation," and wo herewith publish it for tho purpose of stlmu lating a more active interest in this work by tho people all over the county. Tbo subject which we havo boforo us is one that probably has had inoro articles written upon it and theories advanced than any other ono subject which concerns tho poultry business, and yet It is ono of which oven tho most experienced can still learn. Ar tificial incubation has been carried on in foreign countries, especially China, for hundreds of years. In a crude way perhapB, but still allow ing closo enough to Naturo to pro- auco results, in tho matter of pro duclng a good, strong, ltvo, little fluffy ball of a chick, out of a case of llmo, which but twenty-ono days uororo uoiu but a Uttio albumen and yolK of egg, Is ono of tho most won derful works of Naturo. To produce results of this kind ono of tho most important points to consider is tne caro given, tho con dltlon and tho vitality of tho parent stocK. iso person or nvcrago intolll genco would think of planting poor seeu upon pooror soil and still ex pect a good crop; yot this is ono of the tmngs a great many In tho noul try business, whether for pleasuro or prout. seem to overlook.
