'Squire Holllster Found No Cause
of Action and Dismissed Case But
Imposed Costs on Men John F.
Scragg Represented Them.
Judge A. T. Searl'e sitting at a
special session of argument court
Monday morning, reversed the de
cision of 'Squire Holllster, who, af
ter discharging Kollo G. Jermyn, A.
J. Conncll and Cyrus D. Jones, of
Scranton, after they had been ar
rested for speeding, placed tho costs
upon them.
Scragg & Scragg, the Scranton law
firm, represented the three Scranton
men.
It was alleged before 'Squire Hol
llster on the Information of Lloyd or
Floyd Lawrence, that the three men
were arrested while driving an au
tomobile in Salem township. They
were charged with violating the Act
of 1909 In exceeding the speed limit.
They were arranged before 'Squire
Holllster on Saturday, Sept. 19. The
prosecutor did not appear and after
hearing the evidence the 'Squire rul
ed no cause of action, dismissed the
proceedings but imposed all the
costs upon the three defendants.
Scragg & Scragg asked the Court
for permission to take out a writ of
certiorari to bring tho proceedings
before the judge of the Wayne coun
ty courts, and this was granted.
Monday morning the attorneys for
tho defendants were heard by the
court and the decision of 'Squire
Holllster was reversed on the
grounds that tho proceedings wero
irregular and therefore void.
That tho information charged the
defendants with violating the act of
1909, whereas at tho time tho pro
ceedings were instituted, the act
of 1909, especially as to its penal
provisions, had been repealed by the
subsequent act of July 7, 1913.
That the law regulating tho speed
of automobiles gives the magistrate
no power or authority to find de
fendants "not guilty" and dismiss
tho case while at the same time im
posing costs upon them.
Court Notes.

of a guardian for George Mogridge,
a person of feeble mind. Evidence

nONESDALE'S NEW COAL
SUPPLY.
Norman W. Avery, the Erie agent
at noadieys, is about to open a new
coal depot at East Honesdale. The
opening of this new coal depot will
greatly benefit the people of that end
of the Maple City and of lower Tex
as township. Between the coaling
depots of Honesdale and East Hones
dale our peoplo should hereafter bo
able to get an abundance of the par
ticular sizes of anthraclto they need,
and we believe that such will be the
case.
Mr. Avery Is the young man who
recently constructed a decidedly
unique working model of the
"Stourbridge Lion."
niGH WIND PLAYED nAVOC.
The extremely high east wind on
Sunday did considerable damage In
this section. The force of the wind
broke down large limbs on trees,
slammed open blinds against win
dows, breaking them, and gave con
siderable trouble to tho telephone
companies. Tno wind was accom
panied by a heavy fall of rain, which
was badly needed to All the springs

Monday morning the ground was
frozen.

TREASURY.
The members of the borough
council met In the city hall last
Thursday evening. Before settling
down to business, owing to the chilly
and frosty atmosphere in the regu
lar meeting room, thecouncirremoV;
ed Its tablo into tho iflremen's par
lors, where another blast of cold air
greeted their faces. v
The members of the council wore
their overcoats and hats during the
evening. They indignantly smiled
at a bill which laid on tho table be
fore them, calling for the payment of
three tons of stove coal and two tons
of pea coal, which had been purchas
ed during the past few weeks to
keep the city hall building warm.
Of course it was not tho coal re
tailer's fault that the rooms were
cold, but when the coal bill was pre
sented it brought forth considerable
criticism.
Board Present Except Canlvan.
The November session was called
to order at 8 o'clock by President
Martin Caufleld and in answer to roll
call the following members respond
ed: Martin Caufleld, W. H. Kreitner,
S. T. Ham, G. W. Penwarden, H. C.
Rettew, John Erk. Street Commis
sioner Lawrence Weldner was also
in attendance.
McGranaglian's BUI Presented.
Before the evening session had
closed several matters came before
the council that were of a hot nature
and kept some of the members' blood
warm one such matter for in
stance, was Paul McGranaglian's
bill of $1G8 for board of seven per
sons at f 1 per day for 24 days at tho
time of the smallpox quarantine a
year ago. It .was presented for pay
ment. On motion of G. W. PenWar
den, seconded by S. T. Ham, it was
carried that the council confer with
the borough attorney for further in
quiry regarding tho bill. An occa
sion calling for a bill of like nature
is unprecedented In Honesdale, and
council claim that it will be neces
sary to get an opinion of the court
before they will feel warranted in
sanctioning the' drawing of an order
for Its payment.
Inspector Rrcniieiunn Aks Council
to Close Road.
R. B. Brenneman, inspector for
the State Highway department and
Foreman Tolles of the Hassam Pav
ing company, appeared before the
council and explained the necessity
of closing Main stpeet at the inter
section of Sixth street, near the Com
mercial Hotel, while the concrete
culvert at that place Is being built.
The gentlemen wero assured that the
matter would receive the council's
immediate attention. On motion of
G. W. Penwarden, seconded by S. T.
Ham it was carried that Main street
bo closed for a reasonable time un
til the concrete sets.
To Drive Around Block.
While Main street is closed at the
Commercial Hotel all drivers' of
teams, automobiles 'and other 've
hicles are requested to drive around
the block. Tho street will be opened
in about a week.

their experience of last winter. Mr.
Greene will engage in literary work
for which he finds a pressing and in
creasing demand, He will make oc

in touch with his business here.
His address In New York will be

Lights for Footbridge.
In routine business President Mar
tin Caufleld called for reports
of committees. G. W. Penwarden,
chairman of the proposed lights for
the north and south approaches to
the new foot -bridge over tho Lack
awaxen river, reported that the fix
tures were expected to arrive any
day. The present Iron piping at
either end of the bridge will bo
capped with an artistic hanger,
crowned with a lamp.
Electric Light Contract. ,
Jt contract for a period of three
years during which time the Hones
dale Consolidated Light, Heat and
Power company agrees to furnish
light for the town for arc and in
candescent lamps, was read by Sec
retary John Erk. Tho contract was
discussed pro and con and Council
man Penwarden was continued as a
committee to close the contract with
the Electric Light company.
To Inspect Firo Plugs.
President Caufleld appointed Geo.
W. Penwarden as a committee of ono
to represent the council together
with John M. Lyons to Inspect tho
fire hydrants of the town.
Asks Town to Post Ordinances.
A request was made to the coun
cil by the Honesdale Improvement
Society asking the borough fathers
to print on a card a summary of the
ordinances now In force, together
with fines for the violation of same.
Tne Improvement.'TiSEoclatlon X sub
mitted the code of ordinances now
in force by the city of Rock Island,
111. The matter was deferred to a
future meeting of the council.
Honesdalo Side Walks Scored.
Tho condition of 'several sections
of Honesdale's sidewalks was criti
cised by the council. A section of
walk on Sixth street, where cobble
stones are very much in evidence,
was ordered to be repaired. Tho
council will have the sidewalk made
passable. At -"pfesent pedestrians
are compelled to walk around the
stones. The owner of a piece of
property located on Seventeenth
street has so far refused to build a
walk on that street and thus comply
with the council's request. Other
property owners have done their
part. The council will probably have
the walk laid. A certain section of
walk on tho south side of Park
street is In very bad condition. Tho
president of tho council referred the
matter to the street committee,
which has been instructed to report
to the owner of the property and
have same placed on a grado with
adjoining properties,

was appointed a committee to wait
upon Miss Fannie Bennett to ascer

tho late Lewis Collins, county sur

tee. To Meet Mnin and Park Street
Residents.
The property owners living on
Main and Park streets will soon meet
with the council to discuss the ad
visability of changing the material
for paving Main andPark streets,
providing brick pave is not used.
The council is in communication
with a State highway engineer who
will meet tho residents of uptown

powerful story Mr. Greene has writ
ten, and that It is destined to make
a great impression.
Admirers of Mr. Greene's stories
will ever cherish tho story he told
three years ago of "The Lincoln
Conscript." The scenes, the lncl
cents 'and the personages were all
furnished from Wayne County, al
though they were slightly hidden be
hind names slightly changed to fit
the occasion. If the "Albino" ranks
along with his famous war story, it
surely cannot be praised 'too highly
'Mr. Greene is devoting more and
more of his time to literary work as
the years go by, and the more he
writes the better are the stories he-tella.
