POMONA'S SESSION,
LARGELY ATTENDED BY WAYNE'S GRANGERS PHIZES AWARD
EDADDRESSES GIVEN AND PROFITABLE Tl.ME ENJOYED
FARMER CREASY UNABLE TO BE PRESENT.
Representatives .from nearly every
grange1 in Wayno county attended the
Pomona held in Honesdalo on Mon
day afternoon and evening of this
week. The sessions were supported
and1 were held In Freedom Lodge hall
Independent Order of Odd Fellows
building. Large delegations from
Lake and Greentown, Indian Orchard
and Pleasant Valley were in attend
ance. Another Pomona Next Year.
The 'Pomona was greatly enjoyed
and ,was pronounced the most suc
cessful grange meeting held in a
long time. Arrangements are being
V made for a similar gathering here
nextjear.
Creasy Unablo to Come.
There was universal regret ex
pressed among the grangers when it
was learned that Hon. W. T. Creasy
ihad wired that he could not be pres
ent .Monday evening and deliver an
address, owing to an important en
gagement in Harrlsburg which com
manded his attention. The commit
tee on program, however, lost no
time in preparing an evening's en
tertainment. J. J. Koehler, superin
tendent of Wayne county schools,
ttvhb always has something new to
present', and W. W. 'Baker, the never
'tjriug' grange worker and apple rais
er, were substituted for "Farmer"
Creasy. Both gentlemen gave en
thusiastic addresses" and were heart
ily applauded.
Corn and Applo Show.
That Wayne county Is capable of
growing as good corn, and apples as
are grown in the West is evlnce'd by
the fact that Wayne county apples
are always in greatest demand and
that the soil here is especially adapt
ed to raising corn and apples. The
display at the Pomona will speak for
this. There were several exhibits of
yellow and white dent corn. The
ears were lengthy, well filled and
uniform in Blze. Several varieties
were shown. Charles O. Blake, of
(Bethany, had two .very good samples
of "Mortgage Lifter" and ""Michigan
White Dent" corn. Mr. Blake's dis
play -of yellow flint corn, eight-row-fed,
captured the Art prize.
Prize AVlnncrs.
.First-prize, ?3 C. O. Blake, Bethany
Second,. $2 G. A. Curtis, Farno.
Third, i?l E. E. Kinsman, Cherry
Ridge.
Applo Displny.
The only requisite for an exhibit
of apples, Wayne's choicest and most
(profitable, fruit, was to display five
appjea mjion a plate. Several well
ijtnqwn varieties were, .displayed and
, w y61 VprotSyaS- a, picture." The
s. "prize exhiblfiSonslsted of Northern
fijpySj Kings, Baldwins and Green
'inge. The'ahove list,, represents
Wayne's most sought-after apples.
They 'were the product of sprayed
and pruned trees and in a marked
degree showed the improvement over
apples that have not ibeen so treated.
The organization of the proposed
Wayne County Horticultural Asso
ciation, which in all probability will
he fdrmed within a few weeks, will
have a tendency to do considerable
toward the betterment of apple rais
ing within the coming year. At
next year's Pomona which will he
held In Honesdale a larger display
will be given, .but to encourage an
exhibit along this lino it would seem
that in order to arouse enthusiasm
that the prizes ought to be a little
higher.
Awarded Prizes.
First, ?2 Northern Spys, G. W.
Ammerman, Gravity.
Second, $1 Kings and Greenings, C.
O. Blake, Bethany.

HAWLEY COUNCIL VOTES FOR
FRANCHISE
At Special Sleeting Tuesday Evening
Ordinance Passed Giving Rights
to Street Railway Company.
At a special meeting of the Haw
ley borough council Tuesday night
a franchise was given to the Wayne
County Railway Company. The or

Practically the same franohlse Is
now before the borough council of
Honesdale and has passed several
readings. The final reading will take
place probably at the next regular
meeting which will be held Thurs
day evening, 'March 6. As nearly
every citizen of Honesdale Is in fa

the franchise will receive favorable
action Thursday night.

office when a mall man walked in with
a package nlniosfas big as himself and
which showed the parcel post stamps.

cover that a casket company In Brook
lyn had sent him a child's coffin
through tho mall.
Donnelly had sent a hurry call for a
casket to Brooklyn, and he had been
wntchlng the express companies for a
quick delivery. He had no idea that
coffins could come through the mall,
but despite the size of the coffin It
weighed Just a triflo less than eleven
pounds without the finishings it was
accepted by tho parcel post authorities.

GEORGE HAYWARD
STILL MISSING.
Brother LeRoy Arrived From Den
ver on Wednesday What Has
Been Accomplished.
LeRoy Hayward, of Denver,
Colo., arrived In Honesdale on Wed
nesday. Mr. Hayward is a brother
of George Hayward," who left Hones
dalo for parts unknown on February
13th of this month. While In con
versation with a representative of
The Citizen upon his arrival In town,
Mr. Hayward said he received a let
ter from his brother, George, a week
previous to receiving a letter from
his cousin, Howard Miller, telling of
the brother's disappearance. The
writer informed LeRoy that every
effort possible would .be made to lo
cate his seemingly lost brother. Tho
writer, who Is also an editor of The
Citizen, told this brother, who had
tears In his eyes, that he sent
George's picture and a complete de
scription of him to Harry Exkert,
superintendent of the .State Reserva
tion at Niagara Falls, after an item
had appeared In tho New York Trib
une, dated Feb. 14, from that place,
that a young man had committed sui
cide upon Friday, the 14th, by Jump
ing into the rapids. This, the writer
explained, was the only clue that
had developed. LeRoy was Informed
by the writer that a telegram was
received the following day after the
picture and description was sent
which read as follows: "Mr. E. B.
Callaway, Honesdale, Pa. Does not
answer to description. (Signed),
Harry Exkert, State Reservation
Supt."
Mr. Hayward was informed that
plans were under way to locate, if
possible, his brother.
HILLARD BRUCE HEARD FROM.
Former Editor Hllllard Bruce of
The Citizen is back at his home in
Norwich, Conn., after a trip to Mex
ico, Florida and Michigan. He had
quite a time of it, ho says, when he
was In the near-tropics. To (begin
with, he was suspected, in Pensa
cola, Fla., where ho worked on a
dally paper In 1909 and 1910, of
stealing diamonds worth $550 from
Mamie Whitney, who the Yankee
newspaperman had never seen. He
proved an alibi easily, for Mamie
lost her stones in October, when
Bruce was in Connecticut. Then he
was knocked down on the Plaza in
Pensacola by a bulldog chasing a rat
in the open, and. his wrist doubled
under him as he hit the sidewalk and
was broken. Arm in a sling, ho went
out to Campeche Bay, Mexican side
or the gulf, after red snappers, and
was In at the death when the good
schooner Alcena, owned by former
Mayor Tom Welles, whose guest he
was, tied up at Palafox wharf In
Pensacola with a $1,000 load of
fish. Mr. Bruce will winter at home.
His mother, whom prdbably fifty
Honesdale people met when she visit
ed him here In 1910, Is poorly at
present,

Representative Mann of Illinois de

THAW WON T TALK OF BRIBE.
Visit of Sulzer's Committee to Mattoa
wan Insane Asylum Fruitless.
FlshkUl Lunding. N. Y., Feb. 27.
Harry K. Thaw sprung a surprise on
the Sulzer commission of Inquiry that
had Journeyed from Albony to the Mat
teawnn Hospital For the Criminal In
sane to get Thaw's version of tho al
leged attempt to bribe Dr. John R.
Russell, superintendent of the institu
tion, to set Thuw free. It had been
expected that Thaw would have a
great deal to say, but ho stubbornly
refused to answer questions, nnd the
commission went back to Albany no
wiser than it camo.
Thaw based his refusal on the ground
that ho had been "advised" not to an
swer unless tho Inquiry was conducted
"in the same room in which other wit
nesses appeared, so that there shall be
no distinction apparent." Ho refused
to say who had given him this advice.
The threo commissioners John N.
Carlisle, John A. Dolnney nnd H. Gor
don Lynn arrived at the hospital, ac
companied by John P. Norton, counsel
for the commission, nnd by John G.
McDowell, secretary to Colonel Joseph
F. Scott, superintendent of state pris
ons, and a number of stenographers.
Dr. Russell met the commissioners at
FlshkUl Landing with his auto.
No time was lost after the commis
sioners arrived nt tho hospital. The
commissioners, counsel, stenographers
and newspaper men gathered about a
long table set near the stage In the
chapel, where Thaw was already seat
ed. He was dressed In n black sack
suit, with close fitting collar and dark
colored four-ln-band tie. In his hand
he held a golf cap, and with his clear
skin and well set up figure he looked
more like a young man Just como in
from a brisk walk over the FlshkUl
bills than n prisoner in an asylum for
the criminally insane.
As Thaw faced the commission be
was very qujet, but his manner sug
gested repressed excitement. Dr. Rus
sell, concerning whose part in the al
leged bribery plot Thaw was expected
to give testimony, sat only a few feet
away from the witness, but during the
brief session Thaw did not glance in
his direction.

Wednesday Mr. Gregory
Rendered Unconscious.
While Mr. and Mrs. James Greg
ory were driving in a lumher wagon
near VanGorder's place, foelow
Beachlake, Wednesday morning?
about ten o'clock their team of colts
became frightened and ran away,
throwing both occupants into tho
road. Mrs. Gregory received a se
vere cut in the head, while Mr. Greg
ory was rendered unconscious. It
is supposed that the team, driven by
Mr. Gregory was frightened when a
top buggy occupied by Mr. Buch
aman, a traveling salesman, passed
them at that point. The horses only
ran a few rods when the tongue ran
into a tree trunk and stopped them.
It was at first thought that Mr.
Gregory had been killed in the acci

home of Marshall Barnes he began
to show signs of life and Dr. Bar

Several stitches were necessary to
close the wounds received by both

COMPLIMENTARY REMARKS
ABOUT F. P. WOODWARD.
I congratulate the Honesdale Citi
zen on having secured the services
of Frank P. Woodward, who will in
future publish his paper, the Wayne
Countean, in Honesdale, and devote
much of his time to contributions to
the columns of The Citizen. Frank
P. Woodward Is one of the best
known of Northeastern Pennsylvania
Journalists. He was a contemporary
of Ned Buntllne, Ed. Mott and other
well known lights of literature. The
magic ipen of Frank Woodward will
transform the most commonplace In
cident into an interesting subject.
The Citizen is fortunate in getting
him to devote a portion of his time
to the columns of that paper. Trih-une-Republlcan.
