MAIN STREET IS TO BE PAVED; WORK TO BEGIN IN 1914
HONESDALE BOROUGH COUNCIL RECOMMENDED BRICK AS A
PAVE AT TUESDAY EVENING'S SPECIAL MEETING AVORK
TO BEGIN BY APRIL 1, 1011, OR SOONER GAS
AND AVATER COMPANIES TO GET BUSY.
Main street of Honcsdale Is to be
paved!
The controversy of 20 years
among the councllmen of tho bor
ough of Honcsdale has finally ma
terialized. A motion was adopted at
n special meeting held Tuesday even
ing to pave Main street with briek
from the State bridge, corner of
Main and Twelfth streets, to tho
south side of Fourth street, same to
be commenced by April 1st, 1914,
or sooner if possible,
Tho action of the town council is
a commendable one and the mem
bers should be highly complimented
in their decision. Pavo talk has been
heard in Honcsdale for a number of
years and the present council has
talked pavo since tho election of tho
respective members. Tuesday night
the question was settled once and for
all when President Martin Caufield
said: " The only way to pavo is to
pave." Councilman George W. Pen
warden then offered the following
motion, which was seconded by W.
MARTIN CAUFIELD
President of Honcsilalc Borough
Council, AVlio Said, "Tho Only
AVny to Pavo is to Pave."
IH. Kreltner, and unanimously carr
rled: That we pave Main street from
Itho State Bridge to Fourth street
with brick and that all the gas and
I water mains and service pipes of
these companies be laid at once and
that paving shall begin by April 1,
1914, or sooner if possible,. The fol
lowing amendment was 'made to the
above motion before adopted. On
lotion or h. j. jtettow, seconaeq by
t. nam, it was carried uiat an gas
ind water mains and all service pipes
to each abutting property owner
lust be laid before July 1, 1913, af
ter which time no further opening
I)f the street Is to be permitted with
in five years, and an ordinance to
his effect shall be duly enacted by
he council.
The special meoting was presided
)ver by President Martin Caufield.
VII members were present, Includ
ing Borough Solicitor V. H. Lee,
liurgess C. A. Mccarty, J. D. Weston,
j. Blumcnthal, Robert Murray and
I;. B. Callaway of the Board ol
trade, H. F. Gurney nnd Andrew
Jattress. Tho object of tho meet-
lg was to receive the report of the
lommittee sent to Philadelphia to
ivestlgate road propositions and
ike action upon paving Main street.
fho report was read by Burgess C.
I. Mccarty, who was a member of
lie investigating committtee. It is
follows:
lo the President and Members of the
Town Council of tho Borough of
Honesdale:
The undersigned, a committee ap-
Jlnted for the purpose of lnvestl-
Iiting material, expense, etc., for
iving Main street, Honesdale, Pa.,
sgs to report as follows:
On Monday, March 24th, 1913,
tiur committee started on the Del
varo & Hudson Railroad tp Phlla-
tilphla, by way of AVllkes-Barre; be-
Ig obliged to stop over at Wilkes-
liyre for some two hours, we oc-
jiea tne time in ooserving tne au-
fcnt materials used for paving;
Hng particular attention to the
(rblng. At Wilkes-Barre, a variety
.material is used for paving upon
streets, including brick, asphalt,
(vine, etc., but nearly all tho curb-
h was made of stone, and in al-
ost all cases, whero any material
lor than brick was used, tho gut-
k-s were made of brick.
We arrived at Philadelphia at
109, and by appointment, met G. M
isnnedy, representing the Barrett
Iinufacturlng Company, whose of-
is in the Land Title Building,
load street. We made an appolnt-
i-nt with Mr. Kennedy to meet at
office on the following morning,
len we would bo taken In an auto-
bblle over a large portion of the
streets of Philadelphia, for the
rposo of Investigating the dlffer-
pavlng. At 10 o clock Tuesday
Irnlng, we started out, accompan-
by John D. Weston, who had
It us at tho Bellevue-Stratford Ho-
on Monday evening.
Irarvia, amaslte, brick, asphalt and
Icks are the principal materials
Id for paving In Philadelphia.
ring our investigation, wo were
In convinced that either wooden
loks or brick were the only ma-
hal suitable tor Main street,
icsdalo.
lVe inquired the comparative
pe of these two materials, and
rned that blocks were more ex-
Islve than brick, but was consider
by far the best paving. A large
Ition of the suburbs of Phlladel-
ti is paved with tarvia and ama-
I, both of which make nice pay-
but we also noticed that a large
pen of this, laid a few years ago,
was badly out of repair; worn out
in patches. This wo were informed
was caused by a defective base con
struction, having been In many in
stances laid upon macadam streets.
Wo noticed that concrete curbing
in most cases was very unsatisfac
tory, having been chipped, cracked
and sometimes entirely broken.
We noticed where the amasjte and
tarva were used on a good base foun
dation, it was in good condition af
ter two or three years wear. We were
Informed nothing but brick or blocks
would be sufficient along the curb
ing where horses were permitted to
stand and stamp upon tho pave
ment. Upon our return to tho office
of Mr. Kennedy, we were met by Mr.
Hubbard, a contracting engineer,
who gave us some information re
garding paving; he agreed with us
that brick was the proper paving for
Honsedalo and suggested that it
should be laid upon a concrete foun
dation from five to six Inches deep
with two inches of sand laid on top;
that the curbing should be stone live
Inches thick. He estimated the cost
3000 feet by 40 feet at $50,000..
On Wednesday morning, Mr. John
D. Weston and Chas. A. McCarty
went to Harrisburg and called at the
State Highway Department. Com
missioner Bigelow was not there,
but Mr. Hunter took them to Mr.
Foster, engineer of the department.
Mr. Foster said our $8,000 or $9,
000 was now available and could bo
used at any time the work was ready
to go on. The Borough could select
any paving, and the state was ready
to give tho state aid. ' The state,
however, would make the survey
and specifications, the work should
be done under the directions of tho
State and subject to the state's in
spection before giving the money.
The survey and specifications would
bo made at the cost of the state
and would not be any expense to the
Borough.
GEO. W. PENWARDEN,
AV. H. KREITNER,
CHAS. A. McCARTY,
J. D. WESTON.
After the reading of the report
by Burgess McCarty a discussion fol-
lowed. The different materials men
tioned In the report were mentioned
and also their wearing qualities.
For temporary roads, where the
highways are not traveled upon or
receive as hard usage as Main street
some of them might answer the. pur
pose. Brick, therefore was consid
ered lo obtain .better wearing' quail-,
tleS and be better In the long run
than composition roads, hence its
adoption.
In the council minutes of the re
port of tho regular monthly meeting
held last week and which appeared
in the Citizen Tuesday It stated that
$35,000 was an estimate "cost of pav
ing Main street instead of $50,000.
These figures were furnished the
committee without making any al
lowance for curbing, excavation, sur
vey, or plans and specifications.
With tho advance in the price of ce
ment it is claimed that it will cost In
the neighborhood of $2. CO per square
yard to lay the brick.
After a voto of tho council It was
the expression of the members to
commence at once In the matter.
To this end the motions were pre
sented and adopted. It was thought
advisable not to go too fast as the
experience elsewhere In laying brick
pavo shortly after the street had
beon torn up to make improvements
to sewer, water or gas mains, taught
a good lesson to other towns and
suggested that Honesdale ought to
abide by it. It was the expression
of some of the members that at
least three months ought to give the
ground timo to settle. That part of
Main street which will bo paved is
3,200 feet. Tho average width of
the street Is estimated at 40 feet,
although It varies at present from
that number of feet wide to 54 feet.
It will reuulre C.400 feet of curbing.
The proportion in which tho pave
cost will be divided is in thirds. One
third each to the abutting proporty
holders, and one-third to the town.
The trolley company, however, state
they will pavo between tho rails and
two feet on either side of the rails.
Basing the cost of paving at $50,000,
sixteen thousand dollars will be tak
en care ot by the State and Street
Railway company, this then would
only leave $34,000 to be borne by
abutting property owners and the
borough of Honesdale.
The matter of disposing of the
surface water was discussed and fi
nally left with the engineers to ar
range. President Caufield asked for an ex
pression from different outside own
ers of property present and all
heartily gave it their hearty approv?
al.
Mr. H. F. Gurnoy offered the as
sistance of his engineers In making
measurements or in getting data for
the work. President Caufield thank
ed Mr. Gurney for his kind offer
and stated in case tho borough de
sired Information along this ltne'that
they would call upon mm. Mr. Gur
ney told tho counclLthat he Intend
ed making the entrance to his now
factory correspondingly as nice In ap
pearance as will be Main street when
it will havo been paved. He also
remarked that tho front of tho new
building would be seeded down and
placed in as attractive shape as pos
sible, President Caufield thanked the
committee ot the Board ot Trade for
its work and perseverance. He also
asked tor the continued co-operation
of the Board of Trade in the matter.

thonotary, visited friends in Seran-

SAMUEL HARTSHORN
INJURED NEAR CLEMO.
A distressing accident occurred
near Clemo on Saturday last that
may cost Samuel Hartshorn, a young
man, son-in-law of Daniel Jennings,
of Clemo, his life.
Hartshorn was employed In somo
capacity on the short lino of railroad
that Is used to convey the culm dump
from No. 18 to a washery that Is lo
cated on the main line of the E. & W.
V. R. R. about a mile west of Clemo.
In some manner the car becamo
derailed, and Hartshorn was caught
In such a way that his head was bad
ly squeezed. A doctor from South
Canaan was summoned to the scene
of the accident, and the wounded
man was conveyed to his home where
his injuries were given skillful atten
tion. The Citizen is informed that
the wound Is of such a serious nature
that Hartshorn may not recover.
HONESDALE WILL BE REACHED
BY MOOSIC LAKE ROAD .
STATED ON GOOD AUTHORITY
THAT AVORK AVILTj BEGIN
THIS SUMMER.
Moosic Lnke Road AV11I bo Extended
to Honesdale, Through Snlcm,
nnd Hnwlcy AA'ill Not Touch
Lnke Ariel.
It Is now stated on very good au
thority that work on the Moosic
Lake trolley road will be started
this summer, and continued eacTi
year by easy stages until it reaches
Honcsdale by way of Hawley. The
extension of the Moosic Lake road
will not tbuch Lake Ariel as now
planned, but will go through the
farming and dairying regions of
Wayne county. The proposed exten
sion by tho American Street Railway
company, which controls the Scran
ton trolley system, and Timothy
Burke, are to force the extension of
the road several miles this year.
The Scranton Times has the follow
ing to say about it:
The loss to the railway company
through the Dayton floods, it is un
derstood, has moved them to act
cautiously in the matter of spending
money for new ventures and the
Moosic Lake road extension will suf
fer In consequence. Timothy Burke
does not care to handle the bigger
part of the proposition himself.
The new road will commence at a
point near where the old Dunmore
station of the Moosic Lake road
stood. This is just west of the base
of the mountain around which the
road winds to the lake. The exten
sion will then continue on around
the west side of the mountain to
Marshwood and rounding the north
ern end will cross the Erie.- tracks
ne'ar' Sacb.
It Is then planned to force the
road through to Salem and then on
through a country touched by rail
roads to Hawley and Honesdale. The
new road will not come within a mile
and a half of Lake Ariel it is under
stood. When tho extension was first pro
posed the plan was to touch Lake
Ariel. This would mean a consider
able passenger traffic between Scran
ton and the lake, but tho promoters
have decided that a route through a
heavy dairy producing country
would more than make up for their
loss in passenger traffic by not going
to Ariel. The promoters, it is. un
derstood, are satisfied with the
amount of passenger traffic and they
now want freight traffic.
FOE NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE
Senator Chilton Introduces Bill Affect
ing Women and Children.
Washington, April 10. A minimum
wage of not less than ?9 a week for
women and girls and prohibition of the
employment of girls less than fifteen
years old in manufacturing establish
ments engaged in interstate commerce
was proposed in a bill introduced by
Senator Chilton of West Virginia. Tho
measure provides that "six days of
work of eight hours a day shall consti
tute a week within the meaning of this
act," but It makes no provision that
femalos shall not be employed longer,
than eight hours dally or more than
six days in a week. This language, It
is believed, may defeat tho purpose of
the bill.
Women employed at less than the
minimum wago rate aro given tho
right to collect from their employer
flvo times the amount of the deficiency
by suit in the federal district court.

"FRENCHY" CAUGHT LOOTING
CHERRY JjIDGE COOPS
MAN AVHO BROKE JAIL IN HAW
LEY IN FEBRUARY AGAIN
EVADES THE IjAAV.
Pulls Gun on Detective AA'ho is Un
armed Man Couldn't Bo Found
AVhen Chase AVns Resumed.
A telephone call was received by
County Detective N. B. Spencer
Tuesday afternoon, from John Male
of Cherry Ridge, requesting the de
tective to come out at once and ar
rest a chicken thief. Mr. Spencer
had beon over in the valley on busi
ness and had just returned that
morning. Ho had no weapons with
him and did not know what he was
going to run up against, but he
nevertheless engaged E.- AV. Gam
mell to drive him out there in the
auto, and when they approached the
neighborhood of Larry AVeldner's,
over the hill, they saw their man.
He started to run across tho fields
and .Spencer had the machine stop
ped and went after him. Spencer Is
considered a good sprinter and
would have overtaken his quarry if
tho latter had not pulled a gun on
the detective. Being unarmed there
was nothing to do but beat a retreat.
Spencer waited In the neighborhood
while Mr. Gammell drove back to the
court house and got Sheriff Kimble
and a couple of good-sized shooting
Irons. Tho chase was resumed and
a thorough search of the surround
ing country was made by tho offi
cers of the law, but tho man had
skipped.
When the reports of tho con
stables were handed In for the
March term of court, E. J. Richard
son, of Hawley, reported that Au
gust Stoquot had broken out of the
Hawley town lockup and bad disap
peared. Stoquet was a stranger in
that vicinity and was sometimes
called "Frenchy." He was a notori
ous character. Where he has been In
hiding up to the present time Is a
mystery and it is thought that he
has several pals around here that
provided shelter for him. A man
answering the description of
"Frenchy" turned up In Cherry
Ridge Tuesday and for somo time
has been getting away with numer
ous eggs and chickens belonging to
the farmers of that locality. He
was seen coming out of Edw. Klnes
man's chicken coop with eggs and
this discovery led to the call for the
officers.
Sheriff Kimble and iDetectlve
Spencer went to Hawley Wednesday
afternoon and ran Into a clue? They
foun.d. lhat "Frenchy" had bqen
there Tuesday night and had broken
Into the office of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company. He made away with
an overcoat belonging to E. J. Rich
ardson and then left town. Tire of
ficers searched in that vicinity for
somo time and their chase lead them
to Hoadleys. About twelve o'clock
thoy found "Frenchy" asleep In the
watchman's shanty at the washery at
Hoadleys. "Frenchy" had- lost his
gun, so he said, and came along
peaceably, to Honesdale, arriving
hero with tho officers about Ave
o'clock this morning, and was put in
the county jail. He was brought be
fore Justice R. A. Smith this morn
ing to answer to charges of larceny,
carrying concealed weapons, break
ing jail and breaking and entering.
He pled guilty to all the charges ex
cept carrying concealed weapons,
and was held for the action of the
Juno grand jury .under '$1,000 ball.
Detective Spencer and Sheriff
Kimble are to be congratulated on
rounding up their quarry so succus-
fully.
A MINIATURE STOURBRIDGE
IdON.
iNorman Avery, of Hoadleys, is one
of the tower men at the tower near
the Iron bridge, midway between
Clemo and Hoadleys station. Mr.
Avery has an inventive turn of mind,
and recently he has tried his hand at
constructing a steam engine along
the lines ot the famous Stourbridge
Lion. In fact, he has done the trick,,
and out of brass, iron and batfbltt
metal ho has made an exact reproduc
tion of tho old "Lion." Further
more, the miniature has the "go" to
it, and tho wheels go around with
an case that is pleasing enough. We
understand that the miniature engine
will soon be exhibited In the windows
of one of Honesdale's leading busi
ness houses.

BRIDGE SAVEPT AAVAY
AS TRAIN APPROACHES.
One of the many thrilling experi
ences of travelers on trains coming
from tho AVest, who passed through
the flood district of Ohio, Is told by
Mrs. Snydor, the wife of Dr. Charles
Strong Snyder, of Chicago, who ar
rived In Harrisburg one day last
week. Mrs. Snyder was a former
resident of Harrisburg, and Is now
visiting relatives there.
Dr. Snyder was a former Hones
dalo boy, the son of tho late Isaiah
Snyder, and is well known in this
section.
Mrs. Snyder left Chicago Monday
morning on the Manhattan Limited,
expecting to arrive in Harrisburg
Tuesday morning between 4 and 5
o'clock. The rain was falling in tor
rents with high winds, and the pas
sengers noted much devastation
along the way. Shortly after leav
ing Mansfield, Ohio, at 7:30 p. in.,
near Lucas, a small way station, the
train suddenly came to a standstill
and there seemed to be great excite
ment outside.
Mrs. Snyder tells most graphically
how she slipped on her wraps and
went to the observation car, to And
the train almost on the edge of a
culvert, thirty feet deep, filled with a
roaring, swirling mass of water and
no bridge. JuBt before a way train
had passed over the structure, Jarr
ing the ground loosened by the heavy
rains and the bridge had gone down
with seventy feet of tracks. A track
walker discovered tho disaster, and
knowing that Manhattan Limited was
due In a few minutes, successfully
flagged tho train with his lantern.
The train was backed to Mansfield,
a distance of seventeen miles, switch
ed onto the Big Four Road, to Co
lumbus, Ohio, and then, to tho Pan
Handle to Pittsburgh, reaching tbat
city at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning
and arriving In Harrisburg1 soon after
4 o'clock. Among the passengers
was a party of people from Omaha,
who were going tq Philadelphia to
attend a wedding, Just after they
left Omaha the storm struck that
city and they felt that disaster mark
ed their track.
DEATH OF SMITH WASGAUolJ
BY PNEUMONIA
CORONER'S JURY FIND THAT;
ATORDICT AFTER HEARING
DR. AVliiSON'S TESTIMONY
John Goodlhic, AVlio Had Brnwl
AVltli Smith AVcok Before Releas
ed From County Jnil AVednesday.
Wheeler Smith, of River street,
died at the homo of his mother
shortly after twelve o'clock Tuesday
morning under circumstances which
led tho authorities to believe that
death had been caused by injuries
received a week ago Monday night,
when ho got into a fight in the bar
room of the National Hotel with
John Goodllne. There were several
In the saloon at the time and tho
trouble is said to haVe started whoa
Goodllne said that Smith had squeel
cd on him for taking watermelons
two or three years ago. He wanted
Smith to tell the man he did not take
the melons and Smith would not do
It. Goodllne 'then hit "him and blows
followed but it is stated that Smith
did not hit back. This' was early
In the evening about six o'clock and
after the scrap Smith Is said to have
walked home alone and was able
to be about the next day. Witnesses
who stated that they saw Smith tho
day following the fight say that ho
was Irrational and flighty In speech
and one of them said that he had
had a chill which took him to bed
for a day or two. He complained ot
pains in his side.
County Coroner P. B. Peterson,
having been advised of the facts In
tho case, considered an inquest
necessary and empanneled six men to
serve on the jury. They were:
Frank Jenkins, Bert E. Bassett,
Charles Sandercock, Thomas Galla
ger, Thomas Solomon, and Henry
Knapp. Evidence was heard Tues
day morning at the home of Mrs.
Smith on River street. A verdict
was not rendered. It was there de
cided to hold an autopsy and deter
mine the cause of death.
Tuesday afternoon Dr. John B.
AVilson, of tho State Hospital, Scran
ton, came here and with the aid of
Drs. P. B. Peterson and F. AV. Pow
ell, held an autopsy and found that
the dead man's right lung was con
gested with a form of croupous
pneumonia. They found that pneu
monia had been the direct cause of
death.
The, coroner's jury re-convened
that afternoon in the Sheriff's office
in the court house and considered
further evidence all of which was
overshadowed by the evidence of Dr.
Wilson. He stated that he had
found bruises on the head and over
the right eye and at the back of the
head-but these he did .not deem suf.
flcient to' cause ddath, He said that
the chill the deceased had had the
week before was tho first sign of
pneumonia and the fact that Smith
had been flighty and irrational
throughout tho course of the disease
was common in alcoholic cases. The
jury considered the evidence and
their verdict was that death had
been caused by pneumonia.. John
Goodllne, who was placed under ar
rest Tuesday morning by County
Detective N. B. Spencer, was releas
ed after tho finding of the coroner's
jury exonerating him from all blame.
Goodllne was brought before Justice
R. A. Smith Wednesday morning
and was discharged.
AVheeler Smith was 38 years of age
and was born on Smith Hill, Berlin
township, on January 19, 1875, but.
had lived most of his life in Hones
dale. Ho Is survived by his aged
mother, with whom he lived, and
three brothers, Fred of Honesdale,
Monroe of Scranton, and Horace of
Larksvllle; three sisters, Mrs. Chas.
Silsby, and Mrs. Rudolph AVelchel,
both of Honesdalo, and Mrs. Albert
AVllllams of Larksvllle.
The fpneral services were held from
his late home on River street this
afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. AVIU H.
Hlller officiating.
