The attention of tho council was then directed to Messrs. Dryer and Soete. Mr. Dryer was spokesman. Ho asked that the council extend a sewer on High street, claiming that there are at present ten parties who are willing to pay $50 a tap. The matter was discussed at length with Mr. Dryer. The council claimed that there are too many private sewers in Honesdale today, that it would be better if they wero owned by the town. Councilmen G. W. Penwarden and W. H. Kreitner constitute a committee in charge of the matter. They will investigate, make a sur vey and report to the gentlemen rep resenting the property owners of High street within ten days. The street committee reported that Ridge street was being repair ed; that sluiceways are being placed on the hill and that the water-bars are being removed. Owing to a trespass notice being posted on tho property of W. H. iPearce, where It Is claimed the water has been divert ed for a number of years, the street committee was authorized to visit the place Friday morning and find out if there Is no way of taking care of the water at this point.

On motion of G. W. Pen warden, seconded by S. T. Ham it was carried that Mr. Galvin be given permission to movo tbo house, but that he should be responsible for all damages done and that the street bo repaired by the council, Mr. Gal vin to pay any expenses Incurred in making the repairs. Along the line of street work the council expressed an opinion that there Is too much water placed on the streets by tho sprinkling cart. It claimed that It was not necessary to keep the streets muddy to settle the dust. The street committee was instructed to wait upon Mr. Braman concerning the matter. Postmaster Allen was present. Postofilce equipment, pattern of coil ing and other necessary items were discussed. The building committee was instructed to meet with Mr. Al len on Friday and decide on differ ent matters discussed at tho council meeting. Councilman S. T. Ham brought the matter of decoration of tho city hall for the colebration beforo the coun cil He was authorized to secure the best terms possible to have tho front and side decorated In honor of Wayne's celebration at the end of this month.

Churches and religious societies, to the number of at least 100,000, will be urged to give special atten tion to the prevention of tubercu losis on Sunday, October 27, or on some day during tho week preceding or the week following that date. This season has been set apart and designated as the Third National Tuberculosis Day by the National Association for the Study and Pre vention of Tuberculosis, which makes this announcement to-day. Tuberculosis Day was originally set on April 28, but was postponed because of a conflict with Conserva tion Sunday of tho Men and Re ligion Forward Movement, which was held on that date. Tho observ ance of Tuberculosis Day In the Fall this year will be utilized by anti tuberculosis workers not only for the general education of churchgoers on consumption, but also for the pur pose of Interesting them In tho sale or lied Cross Christmas Seals. wvery one or the uoo and more anti-tuberculosis associations allied with the National Association, will bo urged to promote Tuberculosis uay in their respective corumuniHps. While last year over 50,000 churches observed this occasion, it is expected mis year mat this number will be doubled. Millions of circulars and other forms of literature will be distributed. The sunnort of overv religious denomination will bo asked for. That tuberculosis Is a serious problem among church congregations is evidenced by statistics which tho national Association gathered last year, wnioii show that 10 ner cent. of all deaths among church members are caused by tuberculosis. Based on these figures and on the mortalltv statistics oi me census Bureau, over 52,000 of tho 33,000,000 communi cants in churches In tho United States dlo from tuberculosis every year. This figure assumes that tho death rate of 1.G0 per 1,000 popula tion in me registration Area applies to all church goers, when, as a mat ter of fact, the rate would probably oo niguer.

Clothed in a verbiago as unroman tic and monotonous as that of a legal document, its almost ondlcss columns or llgures and comparative data mak ing it a discouraging document for the lay mind to peruse, the census bulletin just Issued by tho Depart ment of Commerce and Labor upon manufactures in 'Pennsylvania is, nevertheless, a virtual modern-day romanco of tho industrial progress of what has grown to bo one of the wealthiest commonwealths in the United States. The industrial prowess of Pennsyl vania to-day can best bo Judged by the figures themselves 27,563 dif ferent manufacturing establishments, giving employment to 1,002,171 per sons, turning out products to tho value of two and a half billions of dollars annually, and paying in sal aries and wages $5GG, 524,000 each year. "Steel works and rolliner mills, and blast furnaces, ranked, respectively, urst ana tnird among the Industries i me btate, says the census report. The three allied industries, consid ered as ono group for convenience, gave employment to an average of '143,778 wage-earners, and turnfcd out products valued at SG94.15fi.000 in the fiscal year taken." Comparison with Industrial statis tics for Pennsylvania sixty years ago is sumcient commentary upon this magnificent growth. Then tho total number of wage-earners engaged In manuiacturing pursuits in this state as only 14G.7G6 In all lines of man- facture, and the value of the entire production was less than that now attained in a single industry. Tho report further sneclfles that bile for tho entire census of the United States 2C4 classifications ere compiled, all but 19 of these are represented In Pennsylvania's manufactures. Tho natural resources of the State," it is pointed out, "are varied and of great importance. They have had a marked Influence In the estab lishment and growth of many Indus tries. Some of the materials used In manufacture, such as petroleum, bi tuminous and anthracite coal, iron ore, limestone, clay, glass, timber and tobacco, aro produced here In great quantities. The accessibility nd supply determine, in a large measure, the location of many large manufacturing establishments, es- ecially In tho Iron, coke, lumborK .nnr! nnln nml olmllnr fnrinatac " I ood pulp and similar industries, When it is considered that tho above figures are irrespective of tho tremendous number of persons en gaged In mining Industries and agri cultural pursuits, added sienlflcanco is given to this statement in the cen sus report: The transportation facilities of tho State, both by rail and by water, are excellent. The State is traversed by numerous lines of railway, some r wnicn are tho main lines of the most Important systems In the United States. Tno total trackage within Its ooraers in lDOb was 11.20G miles, which was exceeded by only two States, Texas and Illinois. Philadel phia is one of the most Important ports in tho country." Though this report in nart deals with the same subject from a some what different angle, the abovo state ment is considered a strong confirma tion of the arguments and recom mendations mado in a recent report to tho Secretary of War by a board r engineers considering water trans portation problems and harbor Im provements.

Just Developed Points t6 Jealousy of Husband for Man Who Litter Murdered Him. Since the murder of Thomas Dol phin by Marsden Hubbard at the former's homo near Wayniart, some time ago, thoro has been rumors among tho family's Immediate neigh bors to tho effect that Mrs. Dolphin and Hubbard wero more friendly than was brought out by their testi mony immediately following tho murder. Tho stories told by Mrs. Leonard and her daughter as given to a reporter of the Citizen who visit ed tho piaco that morning, seemed very flimsy evidence that the mur dered man had been killed because of his brutality to his family or to prevent his taking another man's life. It was very weak evidence, first, because neither Mrs. Dolphin or the children had any marks on their persons to indicate that brutal treat ment had been used upon them and, on tho other hand the self-defence theory looks as if it wore invented at a critical moment when no other defence presented Itself to tho mur derer. The neighbors tell of how good (Dolphin had always been to his fam ily In providing for them in every way. They did most of their trading at Dymond's store at Waymart where it is said Dolphin's pay checks were always cashed. The needs of tho lit tle household nearly always took all tho money so Dolphin hardly ever had much left over to use as he pleased. He was never known to get drunk. He took a drink once In a while when he had tho money but used it properly. In fact, the stor ies of the people of that neighbor hood tend to disapprove tho stories previously given by iMrs. Dolphin or Mrs. Lora Leonard, her mother. Another side of the story that has Just recently developed is that con cerning the dealings of Hubbard and Mrs. Dolphin. They wero often to gether and he mado himself agree able to her and the children during his stay In the vicinity. Dolphin was overheard to remark one time, that he wished his wife would be more careful who she had at the house and with whom she went out with. As the testimony of many of these neighbors plainly show there was jealousy there, and that being the case, Hubbard had no business In Dolphin's house. He should have left and avoided ail the trouble. County Detective N. B. Spencer, while working on the case recently, stumbled on several bits of fine evi dence for the state. Just what he Has found has not been disclosed, but wo have been Informed that cer tain tilings that were in evidence that Sunday morning at the Dolphin home, have been removed or done away with. A HISTORIC ROAD MAY BE VACATED Part of East and West Turnpike in I'atipack Viewed by Commission Will ho Part of Great Lake. Part of what is known as tho East and West turnpike, located in Pau pack township, was viewed on Satur day by a commission appointed by Judge Searle, consisting of w. 11. Lee, Isaac B. Sandercock and W. A. Gaylord, to And out whether it was policy to vacate tho road. That part which was viewed by the commission extends from tho middle of the Pau- pack bridge, across tho turnpike and westward along tho said East and West turnplko 4.200 feet. This part of the road is flooded every spring and in some Instances It is impass able. Pike county viewers were also present the samo day and looked af ter tho section in their county. The findings of tho Wayno county view ers will bo mado to tho court next October. Tho road In question will be flooded when tho proposed dam at Wilsonvlllo will have been erect ed. The lako will bo 40 feet abovo tho flow at tho Paupack bridge. The old road viewed by tho Wayne county commission Is ono of historic bearing, being originally used by tho Indians who formerly occupied this section of AVnync county. It was following by tho .refugees of Wyo mlng county at tho time of tho mas sacre in 1778 when about 200 whites travoled GO miles to get away from the tortures of the Indians. Those who csenped took refugo in Fort Paupack in Pike county, near this road. Chapman, in his history of Wyo ming says, when describing tho se quel of tho massacre at Wyoming: Tho remainder of tho Inhabitants wore driven from tho valloy and com pelled to proceed on foot GO miles through a groat swamp almost with out food and clothing. A number perished on tho Journey, principally women and children, somo died of wounds, others wandered from tho path, now tho East and west road, In search of food and wero lost and those who survived called tho wlldor- uess through which thoy passed, 'Tho Shades of tho Death,' nn appellation which It has slnco retained." Tho settlers In Paupack township, whoso account is sustained by Minor, in his history of 'Wyoming, asserted that thoro in that dreau swamp a child died, and tho frantic hunger of tho sufferors led them to cook and eat It, tho abstaining mother standing by and weeping. Tho next day thoy crossed tho U'aupacK, aftor which sho went back and drowned herself. 1JONKAR REUNION WEDNESDAY.

It is claimed to be as large a question as will come up and a clash is feared between tho Southern and Eastern delegates ovor the mat ter.
