Treasurer 'Penwarden reported
having received $82.40 from J. J.
Canivan for dog tax, stating that this
amount would apply to this month's
receipts.
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.
Martin E. Galvin asked permission
of the council to move the house he
recently purchased on the site of the
proposed Gurney Electric Elevator
ehop, through different streets of the
borough. 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.
The residents of Seventeenth
street, whose properties abut on the
south side of that street, have not-as
yet paid any attention to tho order
of the council of last May-concerning
the laying of a five-foot flag or con
crete walk on their properties.
The following communication was
recenel from the Improvement Asso
elation-

SUMMER HOARDING HOUSE
HURXS.
The home of Edward Kelly, Lords
Valley, Pike county, was burned to
tho ground Monday noon, entailing
a heavy loss to Mr. Kelly. The resi
dence, which was recently renovated,
was one of the finest in that section
of the country.
The Are started from an open fire
place. It was cold for the summ'er
boarders so a Are was kindled to take
the chill off the room. Before the
family noticed it flames were shoot
ing out of the roof and the building
was beyond control.
Mr. Kelly carried $S00 insurance
on his home, but that does not be
gin to cover the loss.
TUBERCULOSIS DAY TO BE
OBSERVED
Sunday, Oct. 27, Has Heen Sot Aside
Hy the National Society for
Prevention.
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.

CENSUS REPORT SHOWS RAPID
GROWTH OF PENNA, .
Million Persons Now Employed In
Manufacturing nt Half Billion
Wngo.
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. IRL CHOPPED FATHER'S HEAD

WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE?
Evidence. 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.
