years. A short time since it will be
recalled his wife died on an Erie
train on the way home from New
York, and his numerous trips TO
New York while she was undergoing
treatment in a hospital, and the care

grevated the illness from which he
has been suffering for many years.
Mr.. Asher was born at Westphalia
Germany, May 10, 1881 and after
receiving his education entered the
army and participated in the Crimean
War, at it's close he embarked for
this country, and for several years
engaged in the clothing business in
different cities. In 1859 he was
married and continued to reside in
New York until 1867 when he came
to Pike county purchased the house
which he converted into the Lacka
waxen Hotel, and in which he has
continuously resided until his death.
He was popular with his patrons
and has held number of township
offices, having been a school director
for many years. He is survived by
three children, Emmett and Belle at
home and Rose the wife of John G..
PEPPER, of New York. The funeral

Dunksrs May Move.

There are rumors that representa-
tives of this peculiar but respected
religious sect are negotiating for the
purchase Of an entire county in In
diana, where they may administer
their affairs in accordance with
their moral code.
This sect derives its name from a
German word meaning TO dip, and
they are also called Tumblers from
their mode of baptism, which is by
putting the person while lneeling
head first under water, so that the
motion resembles the act of tum-
bling. They refuse to take oaths, to
bear arms or to 90 to law. They
celebrate the Lord s Supper with
love feasts, washing of feet and the
kiss of charity Their religious con-
victions are strong, and the pur pose
of separating themselves under a
government Of their own may not
be wrong, in itself, but one of the
fundamental principals of our Re
public Is that no political division
within its borders shall come under
the exclusive control of any distinc-
tive religious sect. The Dunkers
are scattered over several states and
have $4,000 communicates and 500
churches.

+" GLEN SIDE RETREAT
A New sanitarium TO Ise opened In MIL
ford the Coming spring.

ford the Coming Spring.
1t is with pleasure we make the
above announcement, and are able
TO say that at length our beautiful
town and salubrious surroundings
are to receive a measure of proper
recognition. That Milford with its
life giving air, its pure water, its
quiet cleanly location and charming
environments should have been
overlooked so long as a proper loca-
ton for those seeking health, is one
of those things which can only be
explained as belonging TO the inert
ness and apathy of her inhabitants.
Prophets are not without hdbior save
in their own country, and so our
fame having reached abroad a
stranger comes here TO establish
what will no doubt prove a boon to
many, and a valuable acquisition TO
our prosperity. This new enterprise
will be inaugurated by DR., n. G.
Barckley, of Honesdale who has
rented the spacious and beautifully
located house of Col. Lewis on Har-
ford street, and will remove there
with his family about April 1st.
DR.. Barckley was born in Philadel-
phia and is n graduate of the Jeffer-
son Medical College of that place.
He located at Honesdale in 1891
where soon after he married Miss
Kate Tracy a neice of the late Judge
Seely, and has since enjoyed an ex-
cellent practice there, but, on ac-
count of its labor and inconvenience
he desired q sphere where his ener-
gies might be as fully employed
without the burden and exposure
incident to the life of a general
practitioner He will therefore de.
vote his entire attention here to his
work at the Sanitarium, and will
not attend to any local business. 1t
is his intention to open the house for
the reception OF patients May 1st
and we bespeak for the "Glenside
Retreat" under the able manage
ment of DR.. Barckley a prosperous
and successful career. He could not
have selected anywhere a location
so admirably adapted and in all re-
spects completely suited to the pur-
pose and object of his enterprise
than the one so wisely chosen.

Newspaper Amenities.

The Monticello correspondent of
the Gazette touches up that versatile
gentleman "H. L. in this happy
style:
| desire to add my testimony as to
"H. LIS" superlative ability as a
newspaper correspondent, and the
faithfulness with which he has for
years catered to the news devouring
patrons of The Gazette. 1 have read
many of his letters and 1 never read
one that did not interest me. In
Pennsylvania and New Jersey and
in Orange county and Eastern
Southern and Western Sullivan,
The Gazette has many superior cor
respondents, but l think none of
them need be ashamed to do homage
to II. L." the chief star in the re-
pOrtorial heavens. Long may he
shine.
To this the PRESS cheerfully adds
its commendation and while its
praise may not carry the same
weight as that of a veteran news
paper yet we may candidly say that
"H. L. would be an invaluable aid
to an infant in the business, like the
Press.

The vacancy in the Senate from
Delaware is going to cause a fight at

will be n three cornered fight is yet
TO be settled. The Committee on
Elections has not reported ON the
petition of Col. Dupont to have his
application for the seat re-opened I;
the credentials of Mr.. Addicks, who
claims to have been elected by one
of the Delaware legislatures sitting
last week, have already been pre-
sented to the Senate and those of
Mr.. Kenney, the silver democrat
who claims to have been elected by
the other legislature will be pre-
seuted this week, and presented, too
by Senator Gray, the Cleveland

A SUFFERING TRAMP.
For Nine Days He subsists on Pure Air and
Slept In a Barn.


John II. McCarty, who lives at
Raymondskill, Games down to what
is known as the Howell place last
Sunday to look after some things
about the barn, and while in it
heard a slis hit noise in the basement.
Going down there he found man
nearly dead from cold and exposure
lying in some straw. The story of
the tramp is that he, in company
with three others, was in Milford
over week ago and were cared for
by l.. Geiger, overseer Of Milford,
that they started down the river,
and he feeling a severe pain in his
leg and side when near the Howell
place thought the barn would be
good place in which to rest and
went there. He grew worse and
was unable to get out, and the barn
being at some distance from the
road and unfrequented, he was un-
able to call for assistance. He
claimed that he had been there nine
days without food or water and was
in very weak and helpless condi-
ton when found.
Word was conveyed to the over
seer of the poor of that township but
he declined to render any aid and
the man was taken to Schanno's
Hotel where he was made comforta,-
bic, and received such humane at
tention as they could render. Sub
sequently an order was procured
from the proper authorities and the
man was placed in charge of one of
the overseers of the poor of Ding
man township.

DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION.
Some Matters Of Interest Concerning
Former Residents Of Milford

Former Residents Of Milford.
The Times of stroudsburg con
tains an article of interest, concern
ing the surviving daughters of
Jabez Rockwell, a soldier of the
Revolutionary war, and who resided
here for many years. It says;
The two sisters are Mrs. Catharine
Bowden and Mrs. Harrison Valen-
tine. The Oldest in the little house
is eighty three and the youngest is
eighty years Of age. A third sister.
Mrs. Gainford, aged ninety-one.
lives with relatives in Ellenville,
IN. Y.
These three aged ladies have the
distinction of being the only three
daughters living in the United
States of a Revolutionary soldier.
Their father was Jabez Rockwell,
whose remains lie inferred in a
grave in the Methodist cemetery in
Honesdale, and which on every
Decoration Day is decked with
flowers and wreaths.
Jabez Rockwell participated in the
Battle of Saratoga was with Wash
ington at Valley Forge was wounded
at Monmouth and witnessed the
final surrender Of CORVALLIS at
Yorktown.
1t is extremely interesting TO hear
the aged ladies speak OF old times in
this section. In 1924, when they
were quite young, they state that
their father in company with two
companions, Samuel Whitehead and
Joshua Hutchins, walked from Mil
ford to New York City to see Lafay-
ette, who shook hands and warmly
welcomed the three travellers.
The father of the three sisters
died in January, 1847, and he was
buried with imposing military and
masonic honOrs.
There are some interesting old
relics in the Methodist street home
in this place, among them a number
Of souvenir spoons, commemorating
different Revolutionary episodes.
Mrs. Bowden is a well known atten-
dant at the local Methodist Church,
while her sister is a devout member
of the Presbyterian persuasion. All
three belong to the Daughters of
the Revolution.
They arc aunts Of G. F. Rockwell,
Esq, Of Honesdale, II. B. Wells, of
Milford, and E. A. Wells, of Port
Jervis.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The paper makers have been at
tempting to form a combination to
control the output but disagree
ments among themselves, prevented
its consummation.
Judge Scott of Northampton

proper place for filing nominations
for members of the House of Repre-
sentatives in this State is in the
office of the Secretary of the Com
