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.
After Monday's rain, tho water flood
ed the path in RIversldo mark, mak
ing It Impossible for pedestrians to
use the path for two hours after

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. Esnoc
tally is this true of tho lato winter
and early spring hatches, and it is

prominent residents and leading bus

lacked neither finance or enthusiasm.
The business men and others, actu
ated by a spirit of civic pride, voted
their support to the project because
they aro broad-minded and liberal
enough to appreciate tho valuo of an
Old Home Week celebration, not
alono from the financial returns but
for tho advertising which tho town

worth the effort. A three-days' cele
