LOVE THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE,
For several years prior to June
last George Elghmey and his Wife,
Lucy, lived on a farm in Ulster coun
ty, New York. They had two chil
dren which were about seven years
of age and they were beloved by both
parents, but especially by the father.
Eighmey is a prosperous farmer of
that county and is reputed to be the
owner of about 300 acres of cleared
land. He bears a good reputation
and was always thought to be a
good husband.
'Facts are vaguo concerning the
entrance of S. F. Merwin into the
lives of the Elghmeys but they are
clear as to the fact that Merwin
seems to have formed considerable
of an attachment for the wife of
Eighmey and this fact coupled with
a restless spirit on the part of the
lady in question led to their undo
ing. They left New York state to
gether, taking one child along and
came to live in Aldenville, Wayne
county, Pa., where Morwin assumed
tho name of S. L. Ford and It was
presumed in that neighborhood that
the couple were man and wife.
Meanwhile tho 'husband started in
search of the pair. His home was
destroyed, his wife and child were
gone, but he did not give up hope of
finding them. After a nine months'
search he discovered them living at
Milanville under the name of Mr.
and Mrs. S. 'L. Ford.
On his Information a warrant was
Issued for the arrest of the pair
Monday from Honesdale. County
Detective iN. B. Spencer left that
morning for Milanville to bring them
here and arrived here about six
o'clock, having encountered no op
position. 'Before 'Squiro R. A. Smith, they
were arraigned, and the husband ap
peared with the charge of adultery
against them. They both pled guil
ty and were ordered to bo sent to
jail in default of $1,000 bail. The
nusDana tooic nis erring wile aside
and decided to take "her back ihome
with him. They left Honesdale
Tuesday. Merwin was confined in
the county jail until court convenes
to deal 'further with him.

THE PRESENT STATUS OF THE
LIBRARY.
At different times tho Association
of the 'Honesdale Free Library has
attempted to state briefly the condi
tion in which tho public library had
been for years, how that condition
was improved and tho books niado
usablo and lastly how to so increase
the efficiency of tho nucleus library
that we may not bo ashamed of com
parison with other towns of equal
population and wealth.
When we have stopped to think,
or when we have been reminded we
wero conscious that Honesdale did
.have a library but it was a thing
apart and wrapped in haze and mys
tery. Since last November it has
been a live institution and is now
furnishing instruction and pleasuro
to five hundred and fifteen patrons.
If you could realize the number of
boys and girls it supplies with good
wholesome reading, not to mention
tho grownups who come regularly
for books you would begin tp see how
much good the few books we now
have are doing and in comparslon
how much good the library fund will
do.
It is to be hoped you are familiar
with the plan to raise this fund. In
a word, it is the soliciting of the
whole town, every home, every busi
ness place, and a plea for every man,
woman and child to give what they
see fit but to give something. So
far, we are glad to say, this plan has
met with widespread approval and
the solicitors 'have been kindly and
welcomely received. Just here wo
wish to thank all those who have so
kindly and so liberally given their
mlte and beg them to remember
that the Library is in part their
own.
We now know what is being done
to promote the growth of the Library
and as soon as possible we will state
the actual and potential results of
the campaign, to attempt an interpre
tation of these results and point out
the next steps necessary to a success
ful culmination of the enterprise.
