Store for llonesdale.
That girls can play ball was dem
onstrated Saturday atternoon on the
local grounds, when the Western
Bloomer "Girls" who are on a tour
of the country, gave Honesdale a
good exhibition game o ball, and
had the breaks in the game come
their way they would have won.
Gage, manager and catcher for the
girls, scored the first run, when he
came home on a high fly to center
field. The girls scored again in the
forth inning on Connolly's three
bagger and Brader's error. Ruth,
the pitcher for the girls, was good
and held Honesdale's best batters
down for three Innings. She began
to tire In the fifth and Connolly took
her position in the box.
The ball park was crowded with
spectators .and the grand stand and
bleachers were filled to capacity.
Despite the large crowd the receipts
were small but If only the home
team could secure the financial back
ing at every game in a crowd as
large as the one which witnessed
the game Saturday, base Dan in
Honesdale would be a grand success!
Honesdale scored in the third by
two two-baggers and a base by being
hit with the ball. In the fourth
Siangan walked, Lilly sacrificed and
scored on a wild pitch and Larson's
out at first. In the sixth the bases
-were full but Loll, who batted for
Youngblood, could not bring nny of
them home.
The features of the game were
Connolly's batting, Kittie's fielding
and Gage's work behind the bat. Ho
was, in fact, the life of the wholo
team. Gage is an all-round ban
player. Tarket and Faatz did good
work in the field and "Buck" was
the boy to coach on the first base
line. Youngblood was not in the
best of form, not having been in a
game for two years and in the sixth
Xioll took his place in the box for the
locals. The results:

John G. Ainnier, Aged 82 Years, Had
Been Resident of County for
Over Sixty Years.
The death of John Gotlleb Am
mer at his home, 107 Fifth street,

years he has watched the growth of
the town from a settlement Into a
thriving and prosperous borough.

Ho came to America in 1852 and al
most Immediately located in Wayne
county. He lived for a time in Haw
ley, and had been a respected resi
dent of Wayne county for over sixty
years. The house on Fifth street
in which Mr. Ammer with his wife
lived, had been his home without an
exception for fifty years. He would
have lived in the same house that
length of time if he had lived until
fall. Mrs. Ammer preceded him In
death five years ago last May.
He Is survived by two daughters,
Mrs. 1i, Bergmann, and Miss Mary
M. Ammer, both living at home, and

DON'T SAY YOU DIDN'T
The citizens of Honesdale will upon Friday, July n, be
tween the hours of y a. in. and 7 p. 111., cast tkeir ballot for or
against the proposed increased indebtedness of the borough, to
the amount of $14,000, the issue being the paving of Main street
with brick. Before a municipality can increase its indebtedness
lor borough improvements it must get the voice of the people.
Providing the majority of the ballot is cast for the specified im
provement, the town officials are then empowered to go ahead
and make the necessary improvement; hence the borugh elec
tion on Friday, July 11, to vote on increased indebtedness of
Honesdale for pave.
The pave issue is paramount and one wlych should be given
careful consideration and thought. From what can be ascertain
ed it is evident that the attittule of taxpayers is in favor of pav
ing Main, Park and North Main streets. To begin with Hones
dale is not going to lose anything by taking advantage of the
proposition offered by the State Highway Department of Har
risburg. There is at present available for use on Honesdale's
Main street, $17,500. If the borough votes for pave, which it
ought to, this amount together with what is received from the
Wayne Street Railway company and abutting property owners
will make the town's proportion only $14,000. In order that the
State Highway Department may start on the construction of
the proposed road, (if the taxpayers deem it best to increase the
present indebtedness $14,000) it is necessary to vote for the
entire bond issue, $69,000. This, by no means, signifies that the
indebtedness of Honesdale will be $69,000, it is the same as a
working capital for the State and is a guarantee that the town
means business. When the Highway department starts the
contract it will need from $5,000 to $10,000 per month or per
haps more to pay for labor and material. The other amounts
making up this $69,000 bond issue will be divided between
three other parties beside the town, and after the road has
been completed the money will be collected, proportionately.
The voting on the $69,000 is only to enable the State to begin
work it will not be the indebtedness of the town rather $14,
000 is all that will go into municipal bonds. It is imperative that
this be made as clearly as possible, because many people believe
that the $69,000 will be the indebtedness of the town. It is not
so. Especial stress should be borne upon this statement.
Believing that we have made this clear to our readers we
will now advance another step. Considerable has been said con
cerning the proposed cost of the paving. Engineers have fur
nished figures which are based on actual cost and are authentic.
Figuring per lineal foot in front of an abutting property on Main'
street it will cost the owner $3.00 per foot. Should he have a
50 foot frontage it will cost only $150.00. This is based on Main
street to Fourth street for a 40-foot street. From the State
bridge north to the borough line on Main street, a street 23 feet
wide, is contemplated. It will cost the abutting property owner
85 cents per lineal foot frontage. On Park street a 16-fobt street
was figured upon. It will cost $1.75 per lineal foot.
The $17,500 now in the Highway department for Honesdale
will be declared null and void unless, taken advantage of before
March 1, IQ14. il H
' There are- numerous fea'tuTfes'-worthyofcdrisitieVationfcon'-i
neciuu wun ine paving 01 luain ana raric streets at the present
time. One is the saving to the town from $3,000 to $4,000 for
preliminary work, such as surveying, making maps and drafts
of the road, giving elevation for building, etc. In addition to
this the Highway department will furnish an inspector to over
see the road during course of construction. The State High
way department will build the road, buy the material, furnish
the labor and have entire charge. It is therefore necessary to
vote tor the $09,000 bond issue
this article.
A word to the economic taxpayer. He always wants to
save the town money and make suggestions how this and that
can be done more economically. We ask him to look backward
for a few years and recall what has been paid out for crushed
stone for Main street. Good taxpayers' money at that. Within
the last year it cost the borough
mis is oniy one year, wiiat must it nave been for twenty
years? It probably did not average this amount every year, but
it is safe to say that perhaps $18,000 would not cover it. Is
this economy? It is plain on the very face of the proposition
mat tins is expensive road building. To save money for the
town would be to pave. The entire indebtedness as furnished
by the engineers, being the town's share, amounts to onlv $14.-
000. How long would it take
indebtedness at the rate of from $1,000 to $2,500 per year paid
out for crushed stone? Mr. Economic Voter please turn these
figures over in your mind and see where the economy really is.
A paved street means a good street for at least 20 years without
repairs.
The proposition of first paving Main street will eventually
lead to other streets in Honesdale becoming paved. In order
that these streets may enjoy the improvement which will be en
joyed on Main street, it will
srteet. The statement that property owners residing on other
streets than Main will not be benefitted by the paving of Main
street is unworthy of belief. What will benefit the. property
owners on Main street will directly or indirectly benefit every
citizen and resident of the town. Are we not all working for a
Greater Honesdale? Before the back streets can receive im
provements similar to the proposed paving of Main street, it
will be necessary to first pave Main street. Until Main street
is paved, the paving of other streets cannot be hoped for at any
other time.
Now is the proper and only time to pave, while Honesdale
has such opportunities presented at its door. Probably not in
several years will the same conditions be met with. It may
not beas easy to pave as now. It is therefore up to the voters
of Honesdale to assemble at the polls on FRIDAY, JULY 11,
between 7 a. m. and 7 p. m. to cast their ballots for the proposed
$14,000 borough indebtedness.
The consensus of opinion is that Honesdale needs paved
streets. It will come sometime and that time Fs now. Procras
tination is the thief of time. Crushed stpne will also be the
thief of Honesdale's treasury if the town is allowed to go on in
old mediaeval times, using the dirt road for a thoroughfare. If
Honesdale is to continue being a progressive town it must live
up to its conviction and belief and pave its Main street. There
is only one way to do it and that is come out to the polls July 1 1,
in full force, display your progressive and economic spirit and

JUDGE SEARLE ATTENDS
MEETING OF BAR ASSOCIATION
President Judge A. T. Searle of
Honesdalo attended a meeting of the
Pennsylvania Bar Association which
was in session at Cape May, N. J.,
on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day of last week. It was a most In
teresting and Instructive meeting.
At the session on Thursday afternoon
ofllcers were electe'd. Judge Searle
was chosen as a member of the exe
cutive committee. The other officers
chosen were: President, Hapton L.

WIIAT HAS CARBONDALE GOT?
When Manager N. B. Spencer was
In Carbondale a few days since to
make arrangements for the Carbon
dalo team to come to Lodoro on July
23 and play against Honesdale at
the Business Men's picnic, Manager
Tom Nolan of the team which thinks
it can play base ball, told Manager
Spencer that a largo crowd of fans
would accompany their home team
and root for Carbondale. This is
proper. But what about the trim
ming part of the game? As far as
8mt is concerned 'Manager Spencer
says he cannot see what Manager
Nolan is figuring upon. While it is
conceded that Carbondale has one of
the best teams in the anthracite
valley under the management of
Tom Nolan that Carbondale could
boast of for the past 8 or 10 years,
it is not the opinion of the fans over
this side of the Moosic that they are
strong enough to trim Honesdale.
50,000 VETREANS EXPECTED
AT GETTYSBURG GAMP
LATE DISPATCHES INDICATE IN
CREASE OF 10,000 ABOVE
FIRST ESTIMATE.
Worli of Getting Big Field in Shape
Has Been Rushed All Ready to
Receive Host of Veterans on
July J.
It Is now estimated that the num
ber of veterans who will be at
Gettysburg during the fiftieth anni
versary celebration of the great bat
tle will number 50,000 Instead of
the 40,000 at first estimated. Belat
ed reports from various states run
the total up to that figure, but those
in charge believe they will be able
to care for all, with the additional
$35,000 promised' by the Legisla
ture. By arrangements completed In the
big veterans' camp It WllPbe possi
ble lQ theli-soldlersof. ,the North
and South tolocateT each" other "at
Gettysburg this week with the ease
of consuiting a city directory, and
the man who wishes to find a partic
ular foe of 'fifty years ago, or a tent
mate whom he has not seen for a
score or more years, will have no
difficulty In accomplishing his aim If
the person is anywhere in the big
camp.
Under the direction of the offl--cers
In charge, fourteen Information
bureaus, with Just such a purpose in
view, will be established at various
parts of the camp. The location of
every command will be known and
a small army of Boy Scouts will con
duct the veterans to the very tent
where their quest May be satisfied.
Visitors will be given the satne con
sideration and will have little
trouble in finding their friends.
The camp will be the big attrac
tion of the week, and visitors are
expected to throng the place from
morning to night. All will be wel
come and visiting will be allowed un
der certain restrictions, such as the
prohibition of taking vehicles Into
the camp site. No transportation
will be allowed thero at all except
the wagons, ambulances and other
equipment of the camp.
The maximum of safety with the
minimum of dust Is expected to re
sult. There in the camp the old
veteran, surrounded by his wartime
friends and foes, will be able to
converse not only with them but with
the people from his home, who are
sure to be there in as great a vol
ume as the railroads are able to
transport them.
To further insure the comfort of
the veterans In the camp the tele
phono system now under construc
tion by the United States SIgnol
Corps Is to be connected with one of
the big systems, so that from the
camp any old soldier mav telenbone
to his own residence, hundreds of
miles away. Already sixty miles of
wire nave neen strung in the camp
Itself, and dally communication with'
their homes will be easy for the vet
erans coming to the camp.

HERBERT CANFIELD, AGED 13,
DROWNS IN CA.TAW POND
COULD NOT SWIM.
Lenves Parents nnd Eight Brothers
nnd Sisters Wns n Exemplary
and Ambitions Young Mnn Has
Hosts of Friends.
Herbert Canfleld, of 337 Ridge
street, while learning to swim in Ca
jaw pond Sunday afternoon at 4:30
o'clock, was seized with cramps and
sank from 6lght before his compan
ions could save him.
Perry Tallman, after several at
tempts, brought to the surface the
body of the young man.
Herbert and his friend, Russell
Martin, were bathing In the lake
and were on the west shore when
the drowning accident occurred. It
appears that the unfortunate young
man could not swim and Russell
Martin said he would teach him.
The boys had not been in the water
long before cries for help came from
the west shore. On the east side
of the lako a number of other boys
were in swimming. Thinking the
boys were calling to each other in
their merry sport, no attention was
paid to what proved to bo calls for
help. Not until after the Canfleld
boy had gono down for the third
time did-the boys on the east shore
realize that there was anything seri
ous. No time was lost in reaching
the western shore. Arriving at the
place where Herbert lost his life,
the boys began to dive to recover
their companion. One after another
dived in search of Herbert, but not
until his body had been under water
an hour and five minutes was it re
covered. Effort was made at once to resus
citate the young man by Dr. Frank
Donnelly, of Philadelphia, and oth
ers present, but all to no avail. A
telephone was soon reached and
word was then sent to Dr. P. B.
Petersen, but owing to his absence .
from Honesdale, Dr. L. B. Nielsen
was afterwards summoned. He
worked over the young man for 30
minutes, but life was extinct some
time before. Every possible means,
however, was taken to produce artifi
cial respiration. Coroner Petersen
was apprised of the accident upon
his arrival Sunday evening, but
deemed it unnecessary to hold an
inquest.
Herbert was an exemplary young
man and has a large circle of friends
who are grieved to learn of his sad
and sudden death. He was a mem
ber of the Methodist Sunday school
and a faithful attendant of same.
Herbert was an ambitious young
man. At the close of school he
sought a. ppsltjon and for one week
was employed in the silk mill, where
Jie worked in the 'weaving depart
ment. ' ' ''
The deceased Is a s6h of Mr. and
.Mrs. Charles- Canfleld ahd vas. one
of a family of nine children. Be
sides his parents the following
brothers and sisters survive: Mer
ton, Flora, Walter, Dora, Emmett,
Harry, Ruth and Viola. He was
born in Honesdale May 13, 1900.
The funeral will be held from the
home of his parents at 337 Ridge
street, Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock. Rev. Will H. Hlller, pastor
of the Central Methodist Episcopal
church, will officiate. Interment
will be made In Glen Dyberry ceme

.TAMES McGIVERN JUMPS
TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
Runawny Team, Owned by Polander,
Collided With His Turnout.
A runaway accident in which sev
eral teams and vehicles were con
cerned, caused considerable commo
tion In front of the Hotel Wayne
about eleven o'clock Monday morn
ing. The result was that several of
the vehicles were badly In need of
repairs and one horse sustained se
vere injuries. No one was injured.
Mr. Novack, who lives near
Prompton and his small son came to
town to do some trading. He left the
team of four-year-olds standing at
me euro near Dr. Peterson s resi
dence, In charge of the small boy
while the father went into a store.
While he was gono the boy evident
ly struck the excitable horses with
the lines and they started off on a
mad run up Main street. At the
corner of Main and Park streets the
runaway team ran into a single rig
being driven by James McGIvern.
Mr. McGIvern jumped for safety as
the two vehicles collided but his
buggy was considerably damaged and
his horses started on a run but were
stopped before they had gone any
distance. The harness was also
badly broken.
The team that had caused the
trouble did not stop, but continued
on Its mad gallop directly toward
the front entrance to the barroom of
the Wayne Hotel. The horses
stumbled over the curb and fell, slid
ing along the stone walk and strik
ing against the building. They re
gained their footing and started up
again but were stopped suddenly by
colliding with a stone post In front
of the barber shop of Theodore
Dryer. The wagon struck with such
force that the upper part was com
pletely demolished. The little boy In
tho wagon was thrown out but luck
ily escaped Injury. The horses were
not caught until they again collided
with Ralph Jeltz's delivery wagon
near Clark '& Bullock's store,
where they were caught. The delivery-
wagon received a bent axle. One
of the horses belonging to Novack
was badly bruised and cut and was
taken to the hotel barn for atten
tion. The harness was- also badly
broken. There was a team hitched
to the stone post In 'front of the
barber shop when tho runaway team
Crashed into it but It escaped In
jury. Hon. Joel G. Hill, of Lookout, left
Monday morning for Gettysburg.
