Why New Trial Should Not Bef Granted, Returnable in August Much Interest Manifested. Josenh E. Brennan. of Carbon dale, w,ho with Chas. A. McCarty, of Honesdale, conducted the defense in the case of P. J. McDonnell against his wife, Teresa McDonnell, for di vorce, appeared in court Thursday afternoon, and made a preliminary motion for a new trial of the case, on the grounds that some of the jurors who had tried the case had been improperly approached during the trial of the' case. Mr. Brennan was permitted to examine several of the witnesses. Otis Highhouse, one of the jurors was called to the stand and said that he had boarded with his sister dur ing his stay In Honesdale but that on Tuesday he had stopped at tho Commercial Hotel. He denied that McDonnell had Invited him to have dinner or that the meal had been paid for by McDonnell. He said that the case had not been discussed but said that McDonnell had been stop ping there. Ernest Ludwig, or riawley, was next called. He said that Mr. Bas chon and Mr. Deltzer had come up on tho train and they walked over to town together. McDonnell was with them. They asked me to go in and have a drink but I told them that I could not do it because someone would think because I was a juror in the case that I was being in lluenced. George W. Wegst was then called. He had also been a juror in the divorce case. He said that ho knew McDonnell by sight and knew that he boarded at the Commercial. Wegst said that he had occupied room No. 25 while there. He denied that McDonnell had called at the room to see him. "Tuesday even ing," he said, "McDonnell did not give us anything to drink. I took a cigar and went out. He asked us to have a drink but we walked out. Ho treated after the case was over, however." Earl Crooker, of Damascus, was called. He said that he was a mem ber of the jury and stopped at the Commercial Hotel. He occupied the same room with Mr. Wegst. He said that McDonnell had not talked to them about the case pending. He denied that ho had taken a drink or a cigar on Tuesday evening. He said that McDonnell had offered to give him something that evening but that he had refused and walked out of the bar-room. Ho said that he had not been Introduced to McDon nell while at the Commercial. On Friday morning at eleven o'clock Joseph E. Brennan and Chas. A. McCarty, attorneys for Teresa Mc Donnell, presented a formal motion to the Court for a now trial in the case. The petition named several reasons why a new trial should be granted. Some of tho reasons are: That the verdict was against the law in tho case. That tho verdict was against the weight of evidence. That the verdict was against tho charge of the Court. That the verdict should be set aside and a now trial granted be cause the llbollant in the case, P. J. McDonnell, interfered with the Jury by offering to treat them. That George W. Wegst met and talked with the Hbellant and lat ter had treated him with drinks and cigars. That tho Hbellant treated tho jur ors to drinks immediately following the conclusion of tho case. That the jurors accepted the liq uor and cigars at that time and dur ing the case. Judge Searle granted a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted, returnable the sec ond Monday In August. He stated, however, that a more specific rea son on how tho verdict was against the charge of the court should be given. It has been intimated that sev eral other jurors in the case other than those above mentioned, were improperly approached by the Hbel lant or some interested party dur ing the trial of tho case. Detective Edward Neary of Car bondale, had been hero most of the week and procured most of the evi dence in regard to the alleged ac tion of some of tho jurymen. WAYNE COUNTY DAMSEL MAR RIED.

Twerity-Tlireo Confirmed in Hones dalo Sunday Evening Nino in In dinu Orchard in tho Afternoon. j Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, of South . Bethlehem, was in Honesdale, In-' dlan Orchard and White Mills on1 Sunday. At this place he preached at both' the morning and evening ser vices In Grace Episcopal church, con firming a class of 23 In the evening and nine at Indian Orchard in the afternoon. The theme of the morn ing address in Grace church was not only intellectual knowlege, feeling or emotional .llfo but active Christian life; the doing of the will of God that constituted religion In tho tru est sense. During these services there was unusually fine music ren dered under tho leadership of Miss Mabel Broad. The choir showed ample training and sang In good spirit. Miss Marguerite Kelley, of Scranton, sang the offertory solo and a duet was rendered by Mrs. L. A. Howell and Mrs. John Archer. Tho bishop gave a very Interesting address in the Sunday school at noon. In the evening 23 candidates were confirmed, the Impressive cere mony, that of "Laying on of Hands" by the Bishop was observed. He was assisted by Rector A. L. Whittaker. The class was composed of Mrs. Har old Van Keuren, Marguerite Bayley, Helen Rogers, Prescilla Lambert, Dorothy Howell, Grace Miller, Mil dred Greiner, Louise Tolley, Isabel Haganian, Harriet Westbrook, Helen Whittaker, William J. Reif, W. J. Relf, Jr., Howard C. Smith, Milton Russell, William Keltz, Ellsha Gray, Charles Tolley, Daniel Dudley, Mark Koehler, John Hawker. The Scrip ture lessons read in connection witu this service were passages from Acts VIII: 14-17, and Isiah XI: 2. Bishop Talbot followed these services by a very striking and practical sermon. The theme was the deepening of the character as a result of contact with real life; the casting off of the mere ly ornamental as the experiences of life force upon us closer contact with reality. The music was rendered by the junior choir, which has been singing regularly at the evening ser vices for several months. This choir of younger voices is under the leadership of Miss Broad and show careful training and are doing good work. Solos were rendered by Miss Grace Miller, contralto, and Miss Dorothy Howell, soprano. Six mem bers of this choir and William J. Relf, who played the violin so beau tifully and sweetly at the services, yere among those tp be confirmed. it Is doubtful If Bishop Talbot was ever greeted by a larger congrega tion when In Honesdale than he was last Sunday evening In Grace Episco pal church. Following the services In Grace church other services wero continued at Indian Orchard in Christ Episco pal church at 2:30 p. m. The bishop preached to a large congregation from the text, "And When He Came Unto Himself," Luke XV: 17.

Helen Ring Robinson Will Tell Honesdale Folks How Votes for Women Work In Colorado. Colorado's flrst woman senator, Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson, will come to Honesdale June 24 to assist her eastern sisters In their battle for the ballot. "Suffrage, as I Have Found It," will be Mrs. Robinson's theme In her lectures. Mrs. Robinson is chairman of the Committee on Education In the Colo rado senate, and Is a member of sev eral other committees. The mini mum wage question is one In which she has been greatly interested. "The social evil," says she, "lies at the door of all of us, who consent to women being paid less than they can decently live on." Mrs. Robin son Is convinced ?8 a week Is tho lowest amount a woman can live on decently. She has been chiefly In strumental in getting Colorado's re cently passed minimum wage law through tho assembly. "Instead of disrupting the home, I believe that suffrage Is the one solu tion of the preservation of tho home," Mrs. Robinson said. "A man thinks no less of his home be cause he is out in the world fighting battles of dally existence; nor does a woman. "No man is perfect unto himself, In home or in public life, and tho feminine element of sympathy and motherllness was never so essential to legislation as now. The more truly feminine a woman Is tho more truly she can bring something to leg islation." Before her election Mrs. Robinson became well known as literary edi tor of a newspaper and Is a maga zine writer of note. She Is a gradu ate of Wellesley. Barnard, too, re members her as a former student. She has spent much of her time In study at Oxford, In London, and In Paris. WILCOX NOW BRINGS SUIT AGAINST GALLAGHER BILL FILED CHARGES FORMER CONSOLIDATED TELEPHONE MAN WITH RECKLESS DRIVING Asks Dninnges Amounting to $2,000 Wilcox Sued Mumford First and Lost In Trial Gallagher Testified That He AVns Driving Car. The second chapter to the story of the accident which occurred on the state bridge on August 1G, 1911, was begun when P. H. Iloff and C. A. Gairatt, attorneys for Reuel Wilcox, started suit in the local court against Thomas Gallagher to recover damages to the amount of $2,000. The suit was started against Galla gher on his admission that ho had driven the car that collided with Wilcox's team of horses on the day abovo mentioned. The statement filed Friday sets forth about the same facts as wero brought out in the trial last week In which Wilcox tried to recover damages from Winfred Mumford. He alleged at that time that Mum ford was driving the car which ran Into him at the state bridge and damaged his team and wagon and injured himself, but the evidence of Thomas Gallagher, John Caufleld, Edward Doney and Mumford him self pointed out that it was not Mumford that had been at tho wheel but Gallagher. It was further intimated in the trial last week that the Brush car, model of 1911, which the party were driving, was owned by the Consoli dated Telephone company, and was used by tho employees of that com pany In their work. There was no evidence given in the case last week to show that tho party In tho car were out In the interests of the com pany but Just having a joy ride. The Jury In the case against Win fred Mumford which was tried last week brought in a verdict in favor of Mr. Mumford, and so failing In that action, Messrs. Iloff and Garratt have started suit against another member of. tho party who testified that he had driven the car on that day. LYON HAAG. Miss Irene Lyon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Lyon, of Waymart, Pa., was married Thursday after noon at 1:30 o'clock, to Albert Haag, of Boston, Mass. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. R. P. Kreitler in St. Luke's church, Scranton. The couple were unattended. Tho bride wore a blue traveling suit. Tho couple left for a trip to Ni agara Falls, after which they will make their home In Scranton. and was finished Friday morning. Attorneys Wm. H. Lee acted for the plaintiff and Searle & Salmon wero tho attorneys for the defendant. Tho following jurors were drawn: Archibald HInes, Preston; L. E. Haynes, Starrucca; A. C. Gilpin, Dreher; Ellis W. Bush, Manchester; W. H. Altemlre, Salem; U. S. Stan ton, Scott; Myron Labarr, Mt. Pleas ant; W. H. Gaston, Damascus; Jos. 'North, Damascus; J. M. Lyons, Honesdale; Frank Scudder, Leban on; Wm. J. Phllo, Sterling. The case was an action In re plevin of a military band organ, style 173, valued at J750 which was leased to E. H. Cortrlght on August 30, 1911. The defendant alleged that he had purchased tho organ at Sheriff's sale from E. H. Cortrlght, lesseo thereof, for arrears of rent. Several witnesses were heard. It appeared from the arguments of the attorneys that prior to the sale of the organ the Nerth Tonawanda Musical company failed to notify tho landlord that tho organ was under lease, therefore giving the lessee tho sole interest at the time of tho ex ecution of the sale. Judge Searle held that tho sheriff had a right to sell the property on execution. He Instructed the Jury to give a yerdlct n favor of the de fendant. ' LOCALS DEFEAT TEAM FROM KEYSTONE LEAGUE SANDY, HEAVY HITTER, FOUND THE BALL FOR TWO BASES, SCORING SCIIILLIXG. Best Article, of Ball Played on Local Grounds Tlds Year Attendance Was Small and Home Team Fail ed to Pny Expenses. There were many fans in Hones dalo who had never heard of tho Keystone League, much less of the "Crescents," leaders in that league, up to last Saturday. It must have been this fact that made some of the less loyal rooters stay at home, for the crowd on Saturday was not large enough to pay expenses, notwith standing the fact that the Keyston ers put up the best article of base ball fielding seen here in many a day. It took the local ball tossers twelve Innings to beat them, and then they, were lucky, for the win ning run was the direct result of the only error made by the visitors. Wo do not mean by this that the locals were outclassed, for we be- lleve that with even breaks of the game the Honesdale team can win from this samo team four times out of five, our weakness now being lack of team play, which will come as the season grows older and the team gets more practice together. Otto Iloff, of Syracuse University, and also of Cherry Ridge, pitched eight innings for tho locals, and allowed nine scattered hits in eight Innings, and would have won his game In the regular number of In nings with perfect support. He Is a good addition to tho local pitching staff. Pitcher Loll, the 17-year-old wonder from White Mills, pitched the last four innings and only al lowed one hit. The features of the game were the fielding of third base man Jones and first baseman Cawley and Catcher Jordan of the visitors, and Sandy's two-base wallop that scored the winning run In the 12th for the locals. Honesdalo scored flrst in the sec ond inning. Sandy was passed and Mangan singled, sending him to third. Lily laid down a perfect bunt along the first base lino and beat It out, Sandy scoring and Mangan stopping at third, but Larson, Iloff nor Weaver could not bring him In. We scored another In the fifth, when Iloff and Weaver singled, and Ed mund gavo Brader a base on balls, and hit Tarkett, forcing In a run. Our third run came in the sixth. Lily was given a base on balls, Lar son sacrificed him to second and Iloff singled. The fourth and win ning run was scored in the twelfth Inning. Evans fumbled Schilling's grounder. Brader sacrificed, and af ter Jacobs struck out, Sandy, the hero of last Saturday's ninth inning rally, again came across with the timely two-base wallop to deep cen ter, scoring Schilling. The "Crescents" scored two runs in tho third when Mangan erred on Byron's liner and Iloff hit Faherty, and Evans and O'Rourke each sin gled. Their third and last run was made in the eighth on the squeeze play. O'Rourke singled, and Lar son let Sandy's throw to catch him, stealing second, get through him, O'Rourko taking third, Woodridge bunted perfectly and O'Rourke scor ed. Final score, 4 to 3.

Now, brother fans, let's do our part. DO wake up! One of the best attractions for Honesdale since the sporting season opened will bo given at tho local grounds on Saturday next when tho Western Bloomer Girls, champion ladles' base ball club of the world will cross bats with the Maple City team, Tho game will be called at half-past two o'clock.
