lister at Elm Park Church.
A memorable incident was witnessed
at the Elm Park church last evening
when a farewell reception was ten
dered to Rev. John Davy previous to
his departure for England for three
months visit to relatives and old-time
friends.
At the close of the usual prayer SER
vice William Connell, in felicltious
terms, referred to the intention of the
venerable divine to cross the Atlantic ut
the advanced age of "a, and suggested
that. as IA token of their great esteem
and respect for Mr. Davy. they
should each wish him farewell and a
pleasant voyage.
Rev. w. H. Pearce, In an eloquent
address, referred to the long and use
ful life of Father Davy" and his sweet
and genial spirit which always mani
Tested itself in his work. The large
congregation then sang "Blest Be the
Tie that Binds" and other appropriate
hymns, while over 300 persons shook
hands with Mr. Davy and wished him
a pleasant voyage and safe return
home. Mr.. Davy was deeply affected
by the warmth of the greeting and was
totally unable to express himself.
1t Is of interest to note that Mr.. Davy
is the oldest active minister In this
part OF the country, and has not been
in England for the long period of forty
years. He has two sisters in that
country who he will visit, as well as
many friends of q half century ago.

Waidron Coming TO Scranton.

Waldron, the great Canadian horse
dealer, is coming here with two carloads
of the best horses ever offered in this
market for sale. One car will contain
work and business horses, the other will
have high knee actors, coachers, trotters
and PAGERS, and some extra fine combina-
tion saddlers. He will arrive about We'd
nesday next and stop at the Cusick stables
on Washington avenue, where they can be
seen, tried and driven by those intending
to purchase. This is the man that sold
sixty odd horses in a little over one hour
at Utica, N. Y, something never before
accomplished. OF course the fact that he
handles Canada horses is what enables
him to make such quick sales. He will
sell them at public auction for what they
will bring regardless of cost or valuation.
When horse enters the auction ring he
must be sold at some price. win or lose,
and that alone is what made his sales so
successful whenever he sells. The Canada
horses have n world wide reputation for
their strength and working qualities, as
the are long living and healthy horses.
Among the string will be some fast ones
with records below 2,3O If you want a
horse of any description wait for the

HANDLEY NOTE AGAIN,
Possible That New York Detectives Have
Found q Clcw.

A clew to the perpetrators of the
bogus Handley note swindle and the
forged Fair note may possibly be OBJ
tained through the failure of Howell &
Co., bankers and brokers, of so Pine
street, New York. 1t was by using the
name of this and other reputable firms
that the forgers sought prestige to
help carry out their plans.
Some of those interested In the Pine
street firm have disappeared, which
has led the police of New York city and
Baltimore and the federal authorities
to begin work on a theory that the
concern Of Howell & Co., had been
mixed up In the forgery transactions.
The name Howell. appears in both
the Fair and Handley schemes. In
each case the only address given
through which the sender Of the notes
could be reached was flock Box 9l5,"
New York city. As yet no positive evil
dence has been found that the Howell
of forgery fame has any connection
with the banking firm of that name and
which has failed.
