Havens' company havo 50 laborers and skilled mechanics at work on the site of tho Gurney Elec tric Elevator company proposed fac tory. Several teams and men with scrap ers are grading a portion of tho berm bank of the old Delaware and Hud son Canal preparatory to laying a siding or switch from the main track of the D. & H. road in an easterly di rection toward the factory. It Is tho purpose of the company to convey the material into the building over the switch, thereby saving unnecessary handling of tho steel. A large portable derrick has been erected preparatory for placing the structural steel, which is expected any day. Brick laying was commenced Wednesday on the western part of the building. The footings for the fundation are nearly all excavated and same are now being filled with concrete, which serve as columns to support tho building. While digging one of these foot ings a young man nearly became suf focated by a cave in, which occurred a few days ago. He was rescued by fellow workmen and was apparently none the worse for his experience. The structural operations upon tho grounds are tied up on account of no material. The non-arrival of the steel may cause a delay in the com pletion of the building in the sched uled time of 120 days. But when It does arrlvo tho work will be pushed as rapidly as possible Seaman, Irwin and Brenneman are furnishing tho cracked stone for the Havens people. Tho stone is be ing obtained from the Seaman farm. GRAVITY WOMAN FOUND PENNILESS IN THE WEST. Indianapolis, Oct. 8.

WHAT HONESDALE NEEDS Electric Automatic Flro System Paved Main Street Expansion of Borough and a Trolley Road. Living, growing and progressive Honesdalo Is in tho need of four things, any ono of which Is import ant to a growing town, namely, a good fire alarm system, an extension of tho borough line, paved streets and a trolley car system. Action haa been taken upon paved Main street and work Is expected to tako placo next spring. Tho trolley road would bo tho making of Honesdale. It would bring people to town to trade, which now go somewhere else or stay at home. It would develop the agri cultural districts and give a metro politan air to Honesdale. Wo need the trolley road, and after we shall havo had It tho townspeople will wonder how It was that wo did not have It long ago. Wo havo a lire alarm system, but many times people cannot tell what district the flro is in, whereas If an electric box system were Installed It would tell the exact district and people would not be left to wonder whero the fire might be. We aro not rapping our present flro system, which is a good substitute, but how much .better and quicker an auto matic fire alarm box system would be. The fire would not be delayed by the Interrogation from a fair damsel who asks "Is it absolutely necessary to turn In tho alarm" or "Are you sure there Is a flro In that vicinity?" It may be safe enough to ask these questions owing to the number of false alarms sent in, but in an automatic electric system a different system prevails. Hones dalo will come to it some day, why not prepare for an automatic fire alarm system now? In order that Honesdale may grow and thrive it is also necessary that the town expand, In other words Greater .Honesdale is an inevitable necessity. Before a town can grow In tho proper sense it must have a place to grow. There Is ample space in Texas township for Honesdale to branch out. In view of tho fact that many residents in different parts of Texas township havo peti tioned the town council expressing a desire to become annexed to Honesdale, this is direct proof that what is best for a few would be bet ter for all. Greater Honesdale has been agitated sev.eral times but It seems that there is no better time for people living In Texas township to enjoy the privileges ot Hones dale than now. It is" only a quesr tion of Ja hort' time 'before Texas township will' have to build new school houses, it would therefore be less expensive to send pupils to the Honesdale High school, which is un equalled as an institution of learn ing in this section of the country. BIGELOW HOMESTEAD BURNS. Firo Starting From Spark From Wood Stove, Causes $1000 Loss to Niagara Man. Fire, which doBtroyed tho old Bigelow homestead at Niagara, a few miles from Pleasant Mount, broke out about 1 o'clock Tuesday night and before It was discovered it had gained such a start that to put it out was next to Impossible, owing to tho lack of flre-flghting apparatus In Ni agara although a bucket brigade, which did good work, was soon form ed.

Mrs. Nelson Bigelow was awakened by the smell of smoke in her room on an upper floor hut before they could get out of tho house, tho fire had cut off access from tho stairs. Clarence Bigelow who was sleeping below, was awaken ed by tho noise above, and realizing the danger to those upstairs, got out of tho house and plnced a ladder to tho window above and In this way the family wero brought to safety. It was only a short time before tho whole building was a mass of smouldering ruins. Mr. Bigelow was protected by Insurance to tho amount of $1200 but his loss will reach $2,000 more.
