Shortly before 10 o'clock yesterday
morning the people of Peckvllle We're
startled by hearing two terrific eXplo-
sions. Many ran from their homes think
ing the powder mills had exploded. The
cause of all the commotion was several
sticks of dynamite that +. p. Benjamin
was using upon a large safe which had
refused to open the combination having
rusted and the tumblers refused to work.
Frank placed the large safe out in the
garden. placed stick of dynamite on the
door of the safe and exploded 1t: the safe
was cracked by the explosion. Frank
then laid two sticks of the explosive on
the safe attached the fuse and after
lighting 1t fed to the caller to await The
results. When the result came it was far
in excess of anything that Frank had in
mind. The explosion was terrific one,
the safe was demolished. so was all the
at the rear of the Benjamin
homestead. Several windows in the Ban
tst church were demolished. shade trees
in the yard were stripped OF their foliage
n PARTON of the. porch of the Benjamin
residence was torn out. In a few min
lItes n large crowd gathered to look upon
the ruins wrought by the explosion.
Frank succeeded in securing the valuable
papers that the safe contained and also
succeeded in raising the wrath of his
neiGhbors. but Frank promised to make
good all damages, so that the results no
doubt prove Deaceful.

THOS. O'CONNELL DEAD.
He Was a Resident Of Carbondale
Half Century--A Well-to-Do Re
tired Merchant.

Thomas O'Connell, a resident of Car
bondale a half century, whose good
fortune allowed him to retire from
mercantile pursuits several years ago.
died at his home, South Church street
and Seventh avenue, about IL o'clock
yesterday forenoon. Death followed a
sickness which manifested itself in an
attack of stomach trouble about two
years ago. Since then he failed gradu-
tally, though the end came yesterday
sooner than was anticipated.
Mr.. O'Connell was born in Little
Neck Long Island, February 26, 1910.
and was therefore in his sXty-third
year. He came to Carbondale when he
was only IL years of age, and COM
menced to learn the candy trade with
the late Daniel Prendergast. He left
Carbondale when 1S years old, in COM
pany with his brother, Andrew O'Con-
nell. both being attracted to the gold
fields. His ventures We're profitable,
and when he returned in 1866 he had
sufficient capital to go into the res
taurant business in the Raynor prop
erty, where Boylan & Brennan con-
duct a similar business today. This
followed the big fire in the lower part
of the town, which destroyed a large
hotel. thus giving the O'Connell Bros.
increased opportunities of success. They
had an immense patronage and from
the money acquired made some good
purchases of real estate. Among these
were the buildings extending from the
Star clothing store, on Main street,
around the corner as far as the Gillis
building on Park Place. The frame
business block on Salem avenue, re-
Gently purchased by Joseph A. Hoole,
was included in the holdings, in which
Mr.. O'Connell had more than half
interest. More to keep himself occu-
pied than anything else. Mr.. O'Connell
kept a grocery store on Park Place
until few years ago, when his failing
health compelled him to retire.
Mr.. O'Connell was shrewd and thrifty
and was noted for his close application
to business. His name is associated
with the growth and progress of the
town., for he lent his efforts freely to
advance Carbondale's interests. He was
not active in politics. though he gave
his support, both by his personal en-
deavors and his money, to the munic-
pal water plant project, having been a
member of the COMMITTEE of one hun
dred." Mr.. O'Connells chief interest
was in his family, in whom all his in
terests seemed to center. He was ar
dent in the practices of his faith. even
while sickness was upon him. His circle
of friends was a large one.
Mr.. O'Connell is survived by his wife,
one son, Andrew j. O'Connell; two
daughters, Misses Mary and Margaret
O'Connell: a half-brother, James Cor
man, and a half-sister Mrs. James
Morrison all of this city. To these be-
reaved ones widespread sympathy is
extended.

HONESDALE PRESS
SAYS GENEROUS THINGS
Editor Haines, of Independent, Pays
Deserved Editorial Tribute to Car
bondale's Delegation of Saturday.
Other Base Ball Echoes.

The delegation of Carbondalians who
went to the Maple City and enlivened
that respectable village on Saturday,
as 1t was never enlivened before, will
blush to man with modesty as this
generous contribution from the pen of
our esteemed co-laborer, Editor Il. r.
Haines. of the Wayne Independent, Is
read. In discussing the game OF Satur-
day. he chose to express himself in an
editorial in yesterdays issue, as fol-
lows. Ye 4e4 braves who We're with us,
If We have ears, listen.
Our brother quill-drivers over the noun
tain are still caviling and quipping over
base ball matters of the past and the
present and the merits and dement's of
players clubs and umpire decisions. but
putting all nonsense and prejudice and
lying aside. Manager ,rappan, of the Car
bondale Pets" and his club are gentle
men and the crowd of visitors from our
neighboring city who accompanied them,
bent on noise, fun and frolic, were to no
great extent unbecoming in base ball
manners or conduct at the game or dur
ing their soiourn here last Saturday. Par
lor proprieties and upper ten social amen
tiles are not expected of throng wit
Messing the national game. The assem-
blages that gather to see these games
take in any class from the street arab
to the preacher and occasional breaches
OF propriety and the peace among the
spectators are apt to be unavoidable and
expected incidents. Not anything, how
ever of a rOWdy nature worthy of notice
occurred on Saturday.
In justice to our neghbors over the
mountain the Independent wishes to say
that they gave our lovers of base ball
one of the most interesting events of the
kind they ever had the pleasure of at
tending and witnessing. tIonesdale is
ready for another fun stirring time just
like ii.
Our town and its newspaper men were
unprepared for the unexpected number
of visitors and did not give them the
hospitable reception and consideration
justly due them. We are in measure
amenable to criticism for an oversight
in this respect. y

Other Honesdale Comments.

The Independent publishes couple
of columns of smart comment on the
game. creating opportunities here and
there to extraordinarily stretch the
truth in order to have some amusement
at our expense. But who would deny
these simple rustic folk such harmless
amusement. A goodly portion of The
Tribune's account is reprinted in the
Independent, including the clever poem
written by Colonel John McComb, which
made one of the greatest of the after
hits of the game.
We cannot resist the inclination to
use this paragraph from Manager Ditt-
rich's favorite paper to confirm what
we said about BILLY" Miller not being
resident of Honesdale at the time
that the Honesdale manager wired him
to come to the Maple City to play. Says
the independents:
William Miller, who played the star
game of the day, learned to play ball
in Ilonesdale. He was coachman for DR..
O'Connell for several years. He came to
Honesdale on Friday night to arrange
for Il boot black stand at the Allen
house barber shop and proposes to do
business there. He is not an ex-Cuban
Giant. The Giants tried to sign him this
year, but he refused to go.

His nervy attempt WAS successful
Within breathing spell he was see
