The Citizen is glad to record no accidents as tho result of the Fourth in Honesdale. Tho safe and sane way to celebrate the Day of Independence is gaining in popularity with each succeeding year. Tho Fourth In Honesdale was quiet outside of the ear-splitting cannon on the cliff, which kept booming all night, keeping the peo ple awake. No accidents were report ed to physicians. In calling up one doctor he responded that tho people evidently read The Citizen, which advocated a safe and sane Fourth. An open house was observed on the Golf Links and the ladies serv ed lemonade and cookies to guests and members during the day. In the afternoon a gentlemen's handi cap was played, the winner being Attorney James Mumford. He was given a handicap of 10 points, his net score being 91. H. S. Salmon stood next with 03 points to his credit, having a handicap of 4, and Rev. Jesse Herrmann totaled 108 points, having been given a handi cap of 14 points. A fine silver lov ing cup was awarded to Mr. Mum ford, but before he can claim It as his personal property it will be necessary for him to win the trophy once more. Supper was served to about 70 people. ' Nearly 1,500 Honesdale and vi cinity excursionists availed them selves of the picnic at Lake Lodore. Two base ball games in Hones dale played between the local team and Jermyn was the feature of the day. Each team won a game. Re port found elsewhere in today's Citi zen. STRICKEN MY HEAT.

They have each and every one experienced the hardships of early pioneer days, and are this season portraying to the American public In a decidedly realistic man ner the trials and tribulations that It was necessary to experience In tho far West during tho time the Red Man reigned supreme. The grand street parade will start at 10 o'clock on day of exhibition, and this feature alone Is worth going miies to see. PERSONAL MENTION.

Upon the nth instant the voters df Honesdale will rally around the polls at the Court House between the hours of 7 a. 111. and 7 p. m. to cast their vote, cither expressing their willingness in favor of increasing the in debtedness of Honesdale or voting against the proposition. From the way conversation is drifting it appears that the ma jority of taxpayers arc in favor of voting for this improvement. Of course there are some who oppose the paving of Main street, but they are few and far between. The paving is going through, according to all reports. There is a certain element which claims that taxes will be a great deal higher, if the indebtedness is voted. However, this is not true. The increase, if any, will be very slight -and hardly worth talking about. The proposed $14,000 increased indebted ness will go into municipal bonds and the taxpayer will not realize any difference in his taxes. A good illustration of this and at the same time a strong argument in favor of the pave is the new school building. There has been no increase in taxes to the taxpayer since the school house was erected. There is a sinking fund provided for taking care of this indebtedness. The school tax is six and a half mills on the dollar and no increase has been made in several years. What stronger argument can be set forth than this? If it will work with building a school house, surely it will work with paving a street. The paving of Main and Park streets is looked forward to with considerable pleasure on the part of the business men and merchants of Honesdale. Not only one, two, or three blocks will vote solid for brick, but every block from the State bridge to Fourth street-. If the property owners favor the improvement so strongly why should others worry about the pave? Main street is not only used by property owners abutting the street, but by owners of automobiles and parties having horses who reside on other streets and who say it will not bene fit them. This kind of talk is absurd. Any person or party who has access to Main street ought to be thankful that he will have a good street to ride upon, providing the pave issue is carried. Automobile owners desire good roads and they will be the ones who will use Main street. This, in our opinion is a very flimsy statement to make and sounds more like child talk than any thing coming from a grown up citizen and a taxpayer of the borough of Honesdale. There is not a citizen in tliis good old town but would like to see Honesdale become a. lively Jostling, city It- can lay the' foundation by paving Main and Park streets. It would give the town a higher rating and- standing with the outside world, presenting in a marked degree the stamp of progressiveness on everything that is connected with Honesdale. ADDITIONAL PAVE TESTIMONY! NEVILLE HOLGATE says: I heartily approve of the proposition. We are in a progressive world today. By all means pave. WILL II. 1IILLER says: Yes, and the sooner It's done tho better. In answer to your second question: First, save the money that the town now plants in mud, but which never sprouts again. Second, add greatly l to the appearance of tho town, and so secure tho respect of visitors. Third, cleaner streets and therefore a healthier town. W. J. REIF says: Have been pay ing taxes for good streets for 30 years; nothing to show for It but mud. I want to see something for the money paving will do the trick. The foundation of a live and beauti ful city is paved streets. Let us put in tho foundation. F. F. SCnULLER says: I think tho paving of Main street will be a great benefit In general. J. OSCAR TERREL says: I sure ly want Main street ijaved, and am ready to bear my part to have it done. II. SCIIUERHOLZ says: I certain ly am In favor of paving, as it will have to bo done sooner or later; any way, now Is the time as each year's delay Will add to the cost of labor and material. REV. C. C. MILLER says: I heart ily favor any movement that will benefit our town. Paved streets will. It means cleanliness for the town, a lessening of the burden on horses, wear and tear on vehicles, and en hances the beauty of the town. M. E. SIMONS says: Yes, If coun cil has assurance that the Stato and Street Railway will assist to the ex tent stated in newspapers. Good roads or streets are always beneficial to any municipality, first, because of the convenience to the traveling pub lic and second, because good streets are in the broadest sense the most economical. W, J. HARXES says: Yes, provid ed there Is an economical expendi ture of the money and the absolute elimination of any kind of "graft" in performing the work. It would Increase the valuation of property, add to the health and beauty ot the town, and certainly would be a great help to the horses which every spring and fall have to wade so deep ly in the mud. DR. J. W. MALTA says: Paving of Main street Is the most necessary thing that the town needs. l would be a money saving proposition. It will bring new business to Hones dale for good roads are always an auvertisomeni 01 a town. J. E. RICHMOND says: I shall vote lor the Immediate paving of Main street The sooner it Is done the better for all concerned. It will enchance the value ot property not MAIN STREET ALPHABET A Is for Adam's ale A plenty It does take To rid the street of dust And keep the merchants awake.

II is Honesdale Most beautiful to-day But dirty Main street Drives beauty away. I represents Indifference; Many who don't care Whether the voto is carried For brick or air. J stands for Johnny Who voted for mud This time he's for brick If it cost him every dud. IC Is for kicker, Known in every town Fights every improvenfent 'Cause It's a dollar down. only along the Main street but all over town. Jt will stimulate busi ness. M. LEE MRAMAN says: I cannot conceive how anybody could possi bly vote against pave. It will bene fit Honesdale In every way. FORMER HONESDALE WOMAN SUES FOR SON'S LIFE. Mrs. Catherine Kalllghan, former ly of Honesdale, has started a suit for damages In Luzerne county court In the sum of $10,000 for tho death of her son, William Kalllghan, who was killed In a fall from a building In course of construction In Wilkes Barre a year ago.

HONESDALE LOSES TWO TO FOREST CITY TEAM SATURDAY ON LOCAL GROUNDS, LOSE MY SCORE OF 0 TO 5 WE LOSE AT WHITE MILLS. Win. Vettcr Was Put In Box Here Saturday and Pitched Good Mall Loll Played nt White Mills Large Crowd Turned Out. The only man in a base ball game who is never supposed to make mis takes is the umpire; if every player fielded and batted perfectly nobody would ever win a game and there would be no base ball. The usually dependable Sandy dropped a hard chance on a foul ily in the ninth on Saturday and For est City won in a heart-breaking game. Score C to 5. We had three men on bases in our half of the ninth Inning with nobody out and so couldn't score. The locals tried out another new pitcher in Wm. Vetter and he should have won his game although he was hit hard. It Is the first full game he has pitched in a long time. Forest City brought about twenty five enthusiastic roofers with them, and they backed their team with quite some cash, and we understand a few of our White Mills friends tried to take It away from then', but of course lost out when the game went to the visitors. The boys from the woods scored in the first Inning on Straford's hit. The locals scored three runs In the 4 th on singles, by Jacobs and Lily and a two-base hit by Tarkett, fol lowed by passed ball and Weaver's sacrifice. We scored two more in the seventh. Larson being hurt was out' of the game. Brader play ed second and Tarkett short, the lat ter's work both in the field and at tho bat featured for Honesdale. The 3 Miskllls done the best work for Forest City, being a pitcher, catcher and shortstop.

We understand that Hawley Is anxious to capture our scalp, for, ac cording to the Hawloyites, Hones dale has no hope of beating them. Some of the Hawley boys even In sinuate that the locals are afraid of them. Carbondalo plays the 3rd game of the .series here on Saturday next; each team has' now won one game, and Carbondale expects to take this one. The Jinx followed the locals on Sunday when Forest City again beat them in an eleven-inning game at White Mills, score 4 to 2. Loll was not In very good form, allowing 12 hits. Forest City won the game in the eleventh on Larson's error, a wild pitch and the misjudgment of a long fly which went for two bases. Brader's all-around work again feat ured for Honesdale.

Rolchel of Green township, Pike county, were destroyed by fire on July 4th, the direct cause being due to firecrackers. The children had been setting off nre-crackers during the morning and later the family went to a picnic, there being no one at home when the fire started. The building burned to the ground. Insurance to tho amount of 11,000 was carried on the dwelling In the Wayne County Mu tual Fire Insurance Company. The toss was complete on the contents. CADETS WON FROM SIMPSON.

Games Wero Hard Fought nnd Wit nessed by n Good Crowd Mom lug Game Went to Jermyn Good Gnmes to Come. Honesdalo split even with Jermyn, last year's pennant winners In tho Lackawanna County League', on July 4 th. The visitors won a pitcher's battle In tho morning, score 3 to 2. Honesdale won the afternoon game in a sensational 8th inning hatting rally started by Bennie Hessllng. Each member of the homo team bat ted once, and Hessllng, Schilling and Brader batted twico in this inning, making eight runs. The morning game was the best played game seen here this year, each team being charged with but one error. The work of Schilling arid Capt. Brader excel'ed for the home team in both games. Hones dalo scored first in tho morning game on singles by Larson, Mangan and Lily in tho second inning. We got our second and last run in the fifth when Schilling and (Brader each hit for two sacks. Wo had a chance to win in the seventh inning. Lily lead off with a slnglo and Loll grounded out, Evans to Sharkey, Lily taking second; Schilling hit a short two-bagger, and Lily was caught at the home plate, Dole to Miller. Brader singled but Schilling was held at third. With Sandy at the bat it looked good for a tie at least, and Jermyn called In their best pitcher, Neary, who forced Sandy to pop a fly to Daley. Jermyn made their runs, one In the fifth and two in the seventh and last inning. In the fifth Dole singled after Mack struck out. Daley sacri ficed him to second and Miller singled bringing him home. In the seventh they scored two runs and won the game on a base on balls to Mack, Dole's two bagger and Daley's sin gle. FIRST GAME. HONESDALE. R. H. O. A. E.

Frank DIx of Pleasant Mount, started the afternoon game as pitch-, er for the locals, but between poor support and strangeness of the crowd, etc., did not mako out very well and after pitching four in nings and Jermyn having made seven hits and seven runs, 'Bennie Hessllng went to tho mound and allowed but one hit and no runs for the balance of the game, and Ben had not had any practice this week either, hav ing been slightly-"under the weath er." Bowman, who, pitched for Jermyn until the eighth Inning, did very well but 'Mr. Neary thought he would like to finish the game, and keop It "on ice," the score at that time being 7 to 3 in favor of Jer myn, so he went in to show the farm ers here in Honesdalo how a good pitcher worked and Immediately met his Waterloo as we made eight runs In that inning, the whole Jermyn team seeming to go up In the air with their pitcher, and when they came down, the game was ours. Neary Is considered one of tho best pitchers In the valley; but the bet ter they are tho better the locals seem to llko it, for they won out against Archbald In the same way In the ninth Inning rally against the best pitcher they could produce on Juno 14th.
