UNION METHODIST riCNIC.
Sunday Schools Representing nones
dale, Waymart and Prompton,
Enjoy Outing on Friday.
A union Sabbath school basket
picnic, which consisted of the pupils
of the Honesdale Central Methodist
Episcopal church, the Waymart and
Prompton churches of the same de
nomination, assembled at the beauti
ful glen along the Lackawaxen river
and near the site of the historic
Gravity Delaware and Hudson rail
road. The day was ideal. Old and
young enjoyed in praise and pleas
ure. Over 300 gathered at this
beautiful spot. The devotional ex
ercises and praise service portrayed
a picturesque sight. Tho berm bank
of the race-way served as an amphi
theatre for several people, while oth
ers were seated on the grounds.
Boys had climbed up the trees
that spread out over the Lackawaxen
and as a whole it made a beautiful
picture.
Tho glen Is located at a 'short dis
tance north of the thriving village
of Prompton and on one of the his
torical spots of Wayne county. The
old raceway lies on the western side
of the glen. It was built In 1829 by
the Delaware and Hudson Canal
company to convey water from the
Lackawaxen river to propel a water
wheel that was used to furnish pow
er to haul empty gravity coal cars up
an inclined plane. This method was
changed in years afterwards by in
stalling stationary steam engines at
the head of all planes on the road.
The raceway and bank is very pretty.
Tho bank, wl)ich Is wide enough to
drive a team or automobile upon, is
bordered on cither side with trees
that form an archway that appeals
to the heart of every lover of Na
ture. The masonry of the dnm is
still in good condition and reflects
the work of an artisan.
The Prompton church and Sunday
school is in a prosperous condition.
Tho church is free from debt and
has money in Its treasury. Rev.
Will H. Hiller, pastor of the Hones
dalo Methodist church, preaches
every other Sunday at Prompton
and tho congregation is fast increas
ing in membership under his spirit
ual guidance. While in conversation
with some of Its members they say
theysaro perfectly satisfied without
changing charges; that it Is no
trouble to raise money and that all
contributions are free-will offerings.
Tho Prompton people are hustlers
and that thriving villago fully xlem
onstrates this statement.
The people of Prompton are very
proud of their new Delaware and
Hudson station, which was recently
opened to tho public and filled a
longfelt want In the villago. It is
neat, cosy and modern throughout.
The traveling public truly appreciates
the new station.
Prompton has also a new Industry
in the form of a cut glass establish
ment. It is located on the site of
the old furniture factory opposite
the Pentecost home. The company
is known as the Fenn Cut Glass
company. Tho management will
open tho building to the public on
August 15. Heumann's three-piece
orchestra of' Honesdale will furnish
music for the occasion. Business 1b
booming In Prompton, It Is a hos
pitable town to spend your vacation,

ship near Hancock, was burned last
Friday night and possibly consumed
two men. Tho cause Is not known.
The building caught 'fire about
1 o'clock Friday morning.
Suspicion, however, rests on tho
fact that when Mr. Ledyard came
home about 9 o'clock in the evening
he discovered two men lying in tho
barn. Ho spoke to them and they
claimed that they were fishermen and
that they had lost their way. Mr.
Ledyard left the barn and about 1
o'clock he was awakened by the odor
of smoke. Looking out ho discov
ered his barn was in flames. Noth
ing was saved.
'Efforts have been made to locate
the men but without results. It Is
supposed that the men may have
lighted matches and caused the fire.
As no trace can be found of the men
It Is also presumed that tho men
may have perished In the flames.
