Stroudsburg, Oct. 1S.-The little viii
lage of Spragueville, the next station
north from East Stroudsburg on the
Lackawanna railroad is all stirred up.
Its inhabitants, particularly the female
portion, have been greatly excited for
a few days past. Household duties
have been neglected, husbands have
frequently been compelled to go with
out their meals, tongues have wagSel
inCessantly,and heated arguments have
almost revolVed themselves into genu-
inc scraps. In fact Spragueville has
never been turned so topsy-turvy since
the time the price of railroad ties, hoop
poles and haEstones, the product for
which that is the principal shipping
point, went below par. All of this noise
and disturbance was caused by a nail
driving contest between ladies of the
place, the story of which is yet to be
told.
NAIL-DRIVING MATCH.
A week or so ago a travelling medi-
cine vender hired Youmans hall and
advertised to give nightly entertain
ments. one Of the attractions an
nounced was a nail-driving contest be-
tween ladies to occur on Friday night,
the prize to the winner to be a silver
sugar bowl and spoons. The interest
aroused at once was surprising. Fully
half of the women present determined
to possess that sugar bowl and the
next day some of them on the sly be-
gan practicing at driving nails. This
finally leaked out and all took a hand
at the hammer and nail business. A
stranger visiting the place would have
imagined it to be in the midst of n
building boom, judging by the noise.
Storekeeper Detrick is said to have
sold over keg of nails. and bruised
fingers and blistered hands were in evil
dence almost wherever a woman was
to be seen. One of the contestants got
the time down to seven seconds for
driving five nails.
WON BY A HAIR.
At last the eventful Friday night ar
rived
Eight women, the most courageous
of all of those who have been practic-
ing. were ranged in front in the hall.
Each had a hammer, a block of wood,
and five nails. The one driving the
five nails into the block of wood first
was to be declared the winner of the
prize. The big crowd, which filled the
hall to suffocation, waited with bated
breath for the match to begin. The
judges, A. C. Bisbng, G. d. Decker
and Samuel Arnold, finally gave the
signal and the struggle began. II
ragged with fury for a moment. when
one of the ladies held aloft her hammer.
the sign that she had completed the
feat. Then it was discovered that she
had two nails yet to he driven
Pandemonium reigned and the judges,
in the midst of the dispute, wished that
they had never been born. y second
trial was had and Mrs. +. A. Lucky
was declared the winner, with Mrs.
Rudolph Miller a close second. The
others, not far behind were Mrs. Will
lam Derrick, Mrs Orny Van Vleit, Mrs.
Oscar Singer, Mrs. r. b. Lucky, Miss
Grace Lee and Miss Blanche Youmans.

Montrose, Pa, oct. 1S.-This is the
third and next to the last day of the

day. The armory was crowded Tues
day evening to hear the lecture of

ing THE Puritan in England and

over the custody of the 5-year-old child
Of the Rodneys Mrs. Rodney's moth
er married Mr. Stultz and the child
was sent to live with them, on account
of dsagreements between its parents
followed by a separation. The parents
became reconcled and wished their
child back again and upon going to
Mr.. Stultzz for that purpose were re-
fused and they then brought this pro-
ceedinE, charging that they could not
obtain possession of the child and were
not permitted to see it. The allegation
of the grandparents was that the pa
rents were not fitted to take care of
the child on account of their poverty
and drunkenness of the father. After
hearing the witnesses in. the case the
court remanded the child to the GUS
tody of the grandparents.
