Noonday Flro at U10
AVnngum Cut Glass Works.
At noon on Monday there was con
siderable excitement at the Wangum
Cut Glass establishment on upper
River street. In the acid room an
oil stove that Is used for melting
paraflne which covers those parts
of glass that are not to be etched,
was left unattended while the opera
tives went to lunch. The usual oc
currence occurred on schedule time.
That stove began to act up and "cut
capers" ipecullar to such contrap
tions. The dlrst thing the squad of
young men who were eating lunch In
another part of the 'building know
there was a smell of smoke In the
air and an alarm of flre was quickly
Bounded. The flames wore speedily
eubdued. The amount of damage
-was slight, consisting mainly In
burning the paper off the studding
about the room to which 'It had been
nailed. But for the presence of the
lunchers there would be a different
story to tell to-day.
St. Patrick's Day Event
At Odd Fellows Hull.
St. Phllomena's choir and the St.
Als. Cadets are preparing for a de
lightful entertainment on the night
of St. Patrick's day, in Odd Fellows
hall. The entertainment 'will consist
of a muslcale and speech making.
The music will be furnished toy the
Choir, of course. Who said that It
wouldn't? They are going to 'give
the Hawley public a good time, and
those who are wise will arrange
matters so that they will surely be In
attendance.
A New Enterprlso For
The Big Wratcr Power Town.
The garage building formerly oc
cupied iby Plum's livery stables will
soon be whizzing with tne sounds of
a new enterprise for Hawley In the
form of a manufactory of shawls and
scarfs. The new enterprise will be
gin operation, we are told, about the
middlo of March. The building Is
about 40x100 feet, and the new en
terprlse will take on several opera
tlves.
Tragedy on Church Street
Results In Lady's Death.
Miss Mary Watterson conducts a
crossing. She resides in the same
building. With her also resided her I
sister, Miss Isa'bel Watterson. On '
Monday evening, February 17, Miss
Mary went from the kitchen In
ho mm- nf Mi o hiiiirHn n Mio otr.rD
to attend to the -wants of some cus-,
tomers. She 'was gone about twenty
minutes. When she returned to the
kitchen she found the room filled

so thick she could not see objects,
and she stepped on some thing that
she thought was carpeting, or a roll
of clothing. At the same moment
she threw some water on the wall
and It splashed back towards her,
drenching the floor, from whence
came the voice of her sister, Isabel,
who was lying there at her feet. The
poor girl was frightfully burned
about her head, right side, down her
body, and on her arms and hands.
Physicians were hastily summoned
and every effort was mado to give
the unfortunate girl relief and save
her life, tout on Tuesday night of this
week she died. The theory of the
occurrence is that Miss Isabel enter
ed the room and went to the sink.
While there she 'was seized with a
fainting spell to which she has been
subject ever since she suffered a
broken leg by falling on the icy
street several years ago. In falling
she overturned an oil heater that was
burning with a flame turned low, and
thus her clothing caught flro. There
was no explosion, and nobody heard
the fall or knew anything about the
occurrence until the unfortunate -victim's
sister entered tho smoke-fllled
room. Miss Isabel Watterson would
have been 44 years of age In April.
The funeral will too held on Friday
from St. Mary's R. C. church, near
Ledgedale.

Recent Death of Aged
Lady of Pnupack.
When death claimed Mrs. Ann
Utt, of Uswick, In Paupack township,
on the 7th of February, a remark
able woman passed away. She was
remarkable In many ways. A little
story of her life Is worthy of publi
cation.
Eleanor Ann Bennett ,was born in
Purdyvillo on January 22, 1825, and
she was therefor in her 88th year at
the time of her death. Her parents
were Rufus and Amanda (Van Vlelt)
Bennett, who were among Wayne
County's early pioneers. At the age
of 20, in 1845, she married William
Utt, and the young couple began
housekeeping at Wllsonvllle, more
commonly called Shouse's, because
the extensive saw mill at that place
was conducted toy the Shouse toroth
ers. Mr. Utt was at that time the
sawyer at Wllsonvllle.
Only a few weeks before her death
the writer heard Mrs. Utt recount
some of her varied experiences In
the early days of her married life,
those-- days that Shakespeare de
scribes as the period of "love's young
dream." She told of how they began
their housekeeping, what furniture
they had, what It cost, and how just
ly proud they were of their home and
possessions.
As there was but one store in
what is now Hawley, (for Hawley
had not appeared on the map In those
days), and that store only catered
to the canal trade, it became neces
sary to go to Honesdale to do some
necessary trading. She walked all
the way to Honesdale, toought the
materials for a now Donnet, also
some other necessary purchases, and
rode back on a canal tooat. Her son-
in-law. ex-Sheriff R. W. Murphy,
can make the trip with his car easily
Incide half an hour. Mrs. Utt had
a Good long ride of at least three
hours. . , . ,
Tn utts remained at Wllsonvllle
for several years, and by good man-
agement saved $500 With their
money they bought the farm on the
Lakeville road that Is now Known
as the Ainsley estate. They did not

these many years, but a part of Its
foundation still remains to snow
where it stood. In 1855 the Utts
moved on their own farm, and in
building the barn, which is still
standing and In a good state of pres
ervatlon. Mr. Utt fell to the ground
and was so seriously Injured that he
was not able to work for many
months. This farm was subsequent
ly traded for one owned by Mr. Utt's
father, now the property of Mr.
Oliver Locklin. Of Mr. Utt it may be
said that he was a farmer and lum
berman. He ran rafts on the Del
aware river for about ten years.
Much of his lumber Was bought on
the stump from Mr. R. R. Purdy,
who In those yeaTS was one of
Wayne County's extensive land and
lumber owners. Mr. Utt died In Oct.,
1901.
IMrs. Utt told many Interesting
reminiscences of her early life.
Every year she for a long time made
a horsetoack trip to Stroudsburg to
see her grandmother. She told of
her school days and mentioned the
names of her teachers. Two or three
of her teachers came ifrom Mount
Pleasant. One of them was a Mr
Miller.
With a smiling face and bright,
flashing eyes she quoted an old-time
school rhyme as follows:
"Multiplication is a vexation,
Division is as bad,
The Rule of Three puzzles me
And Fractions make me mad."
Then she added quickly, "tout frac
tions never made mo mad, because
we never got Into fractions very
much at our school.
No better-natured, brlght-disposl
tioned person ever lived in Old
Wayne than Mrs. Utt. She was the
very soul of hospitality, and even
with grief eating away at the very
centre of her heart she had a smile
and a cherry word for her friends.
As stated In the beginning of this
sketch, she closed her weary eyes to
the lights and shadows of the earthly
on February 7, and her peaceful
hands that had always latoored lov
ingly to make those about her better
'satisfied with theyr environments,
laid down the burdens of life forever
She is survived by one sister, Mrs.
Ellen Utt, of Jermyn, Pa., a brother,
Aretas Bennett, of Douglas, Mich.,
and by the following daughters: Mrs,
C. E. Webster, of Sterling: Mrs. U
W. Murphy of Hawley, and Mrs. F
E. Balsley, of Scranton. Several
grandchildren also survive.
Mnny Hawley Ladles at
Honesdale on February 22.
A goodly number of women from
Hawley attended the Martha Wash
ington supper In Honesdale on Friday
last. They went up on the regular
une train and returned on the E. &
W. V. train that leaves tho county
seat at b o dock. They came back
loaded down with suspicious looking
boxes, and Ted hatchets galore. The Florence Codwell, Torroy, Enter
boxes are supposed to have contained' prise.

our dealers over this way don't like
the looks of such stunts as that, and
instead oil iceung circussy anu good
natured about it, to tell the simple
truth, they didn't, 'but they didn't
let on that they wished the 'blamed
thing had staid home. None of us
ever do, you know. Well, that auto
didn't have so good a time, after all.
After unloading Its stock of mer
chandise It started for home, and
then Its troubles began. It followed
up the old gravity loaded track un
til it struck the Lakeville road. It
got stuck so frequently In tho newly
drifted snow that the "stuck" condi
tion more than doubled tho "go"
condition. 'Finally, at about 2
o'clock In the morning the chains on
the wheels toroke and the machine
became hopelessly stalled right In
front of the home of the writer of
these lines. There were three young
men In charge of the car. One of
them crawled under some burlaps
and spent the night, and the other
two footed It to Honesdale after re
lief. It was high noon on the sec
ond day after leaving Scranton be
fore the car left Hoadleys ifor Hones
dale, and by this time It has prob
ably reached home. In the mean
time Hawley people smile and are
quoting some sort of an old saying
about "virtue bringing its own re
ward." Yes, they are smiling and
looking wise over the Incursion Into
our town's business rights.

THE NEXT CRISIS DAY WILL BE
ON TUESDAY, MARCH 18.
In tho Meantime Suffragettes Are
Singing the Old-Tiino Song, "Pray
On! Press On! Wo'ro Gaining
Ground! Oh, Glory Hnlellujah."
Harrisburg, Feb. 27. March 18 th
will be the next crucial day In tho
movement for Equal Suffrage in
Pennsylvania. Senator Mcllhenny,
chairman of the Senate Judiciary
General Committee, to which the
constitutional amendment resolution
was referred, has set that date for a
hearing. The suffragists hoped for
an earlier date tout Senator Mcll
henny, who is said to be opposed to
the measure, Is apparently doing all
he can to prevent the people from
having a chance to act upon this
question. Though he says he has an
open mind, his attitude is so partial
that he is willing to have the meas
ure unnecessarily delayed.
Optimistic Outlook is Claimed
By tho Lady "Warriors.
In the meantime the friends of the
resolution will keep up a vigorous
campaign in Its favor, and If they
continue to gain ground as rapidly as
they did last week there 'will not be
much loft of tho opposition by the
time the resolution is reported to the
Senate.
Where Penrose and Guthrio
Standards Aro Located.
Both Senator Penrose and Demo
cratic State Chairman Guthrie came
out strongly for the resolution last
week, Senator Penrose In an inter
view which was widely printed said,
"The people should have a chance to
vote on this matter. That Is only
logical and reasonahle." The Sena
tor also expressed the hope that re
ports to the effect that some Sena
tors are against the resolution are
not true.
State Chairman Guthrio sent to
each Democratic Senator a personal
letter calling his attention to tho fact
that the Democratic party In its plat
form Is pledged to euhmlt the ques
tion of equal suffrage to a vote of the
people and asking him to vote for tho
resolution no matter what his views
may be on tho direct question of
votes for women.

Senators are hearing from home are
making the position of those who are
opposed to the resolution some .what
uncomfortable. Popular opinion
here is decidedly against the opposi
tion Senators. Over and over again
It Is pointed out that the resolution
merely provides for submitting the
question to the people. Time after
time attention is called to the fact
that such a step has the endorse
ment of all the political 'parties. And
now and then it is diplomatically in
timated to Senators suspected of
wanting to vote against the resolu
tion that they are taking rather a
serious view of their own importance
In the general scheme of things
governmental in this commonwealth
when these facts are taken Into con
sideration. Newspapers Mnko "Bad" Members
Of tho House Feel Sorry.
The outspoken way in which
newspapers throughout the State
scored members of the House who
voted against the resolution for their
presumption In trying to prevent the
people from voting on the suffrage Is
sue Is another thing that is having a
pronounced effect upon the Senators.
Many newspapers of all shades of po
litical opinion are strongly urging
the essential justice of permitting
the voters to decide tho question for
themselves. In his letter to the
Democratic members of the upper
branch, State Chairman Guthrie
said he has received letters from all
parts of the State criticising most un
favorably the action of the Demo
cratic Representatives who, in the
face of a specific platform declara
tion, "voted against a referendum to
the people on the question of women
suffrage." Republican members
have been as freely and as generally
criticized.
