Sarah Lynn Of Tafton.
Philip Krause, Jr., Of Baoba was
run over by an engine on the
Honesdale branch last week while
asleep on the tracks and killed, his
head and one leg being severed.
The senatorial deadlock in the
Wayne-Susquehanna district CON
tinues. Ifit is not settled the state
committee may name the nominee.
But after that the people vote,
Henry Canine has the contract for
eniarging the platform in the Pres
byterian church so that the vocation
and choir may be placed in rear of
tine pulpit and he is this week en-
gagged in the work.
In several sections fr0sts early this
week did considerable damage, up in
Sullivan county, N. ", hail fell to
the depth of two inches and down in
Maryland and West Virginia market
suffered severely.
The Harrisburg Telegraph last
Saturday issued a sumptuous edition
devoted to exploiting the capital
city of the state. 1t is Il handsomely
gotten up paper and shows Harris
burg to be rapidly growing and
large manufaeting centre.
Indications point to an unusually
good season for summer guests here
More than double the number are
now in town than at the correspond
ing time last year and it is said that
nearly all the rooms at the leading
hotels and boarding houses are en-
gagged.
The democratic state convention
at Erie Wednesday nominated Rob
ert E. Pattison for governor, Geo.
w. Guthrie for lieutenant governor
and James Nolan for secretary of
the interior The platform avoids
all mention of national questions
and is confined to state matters.
Grether, convicted in Monroe
county of the murder of Adam
Skunk, who escaped from Jail and
was caught near Belvidere last week,
refused to return without requisition
papers. Aielo, his companion, also
of killing Labar, caught
at the same time, readily came back
with the sheriff.
There are n number of unsightly
mud holes in town, especially on
Seventh and upper High streets,
which the street committee could
remedy with small expense. Cut
ting the grass was an excellent inn
Let it be followed by a
removal of all places where there
are pools Of stagnant water.
The coronation of King Edward of
England which was to have taken

postponed owing to an attack Of APP
pendieitis for which an operation was
necessary, 1t is said, in the event
that he lives, that at least three
months must elapse before the cere-
mony can take place.
The driving park managers are
laboring faithfully to make the
events July 4th of great attraction.
1t is cheerfully hoped that they may
fully realize their fondest anticipa-
tions but the price of admission
would seem to indicate that they
have an eye to quality rather than
quantity in the audience.
Flower thieves are despoiling
Honesdale residents of those adorn-
ments and there are threats if the
practice is not omitted Of making ar
rests. The same sort of petty lar
ceny is being carried on here, even
extending to thefts Of flowers from
lots in the cemetery. Vandalism is
not worse than this sort of thlevery
and the punishment should be con-
dign.
