The News Of Carbonda1e.

| the house few minutes, long enough
for the awful circumstance of his loss
and his wfe's sorrow and distress to
| firmly impress themselves, when he
collapsed. When he rallied somewhat,
and It was plain that 1t was out of the
question for him to attempt the journey
| to Lackawaxen to aid in the search for
! his bay, two friends, George Benton
and a man named owens from Forest
City, voluteered They left for Lacka-
waxen on the 4.33 Delaware & Hudson
train yesterday afternoon.
There is much speculation as to the
cause of the drowning as Cedar Rift,
just below Shohola, is not regarded as
nearly as dangerous as other points
along the Delaware. Hankins, which
the trio passed earlier in the week. Is
looked upon as one of the worst places
in the river. Two young men from New
York city perished at this point on
Monday, their bodies being found at
Calicoon, few miles south.
A canoe trip along the Delaware Is
attended with more or less peril, cir
cumstance which impressed itself on
young Morgan, for few days prior to
the trip, he hesitated and delayed maxi
some of his friends as to the advisable
ity of the venture. The circumstance,
however, that his companions, Mr..
Crane and Mr.. Lathrope, were pos
sessed of good Judgment and caution,
led him to make his mind to go. The
last words expressed to him by his
mother was a Enthusiastically fond
and earnest request that he take care
/ of himself.
Morgan was born in Pleasant Mount
eighteen years ago, the family moving
to Carbondale nine years ago. He was
one of the most popular among his
associates. He was exceedingly bright
and an apt scholar. He was a member
of this years class of the Carbondale
high school and took the class honor of
the Mantle Grafton. Young Morgan
was member of the First Presbyterian
church Sunday school class taught by
DR.. w. w. Fletcher, where he displayed
the same praiseworthy characteristics
that marked him wherever he went. He
was active in athletic sports and was
one of the contestants in the tourna-
ment of last week. His death follow
ing so closely upon Robert Meaker's
casts a dark gloom upon almost the
same circle of young people. 1t is need
less to add that the warm-hearted SYM
pathies of the community go out to the
saddened family.
The survivors are the parents, one
sister Miss May Morgan, and two
brothers, John and George Morgan, all
of this city.
w. II. Morgan, the father of the de-
ceased, is owner of a large general dry
goods store and is a member of the
firm of Bennett, Morgan & Company,
wholesale dry goods house, Of Bing-
hamton, n. Y.

THE CLIMAX OF THE
HIGHWAY ROBBERIES
The Limit Reached in the Holding
Up Yesterday Of Mrs. James Allen
OH Crystal Lake Road-obtained
No Money!.

The limit in the highway robberies,
which have occurred in Carbondale and
vicinity for about three weeks. was
reached yesterday morning, when two
men, described as hobo-like in their
dress, held up Mrs. James Allen, of
| Greenfield, at the fork in the road at
Wedeman's, close TO the Fallbrook and
Newton Water company's reservoir,
along the Crystal lake road.
Mrs. Allen was on her way from her
home in Greenfield to do some shop
ping in Carbondale, when she was in
tercepted. Two men sprang from be-
hind bushes and grabbed the reins of
the horse she drove. They demanded
money from her. Though she was
frightened, she was not unnerved; but
seemed to acquire a good deal of nerve
during the trying moments that the
bold daylight highwaymen detained
her on the roadway She had consid-
cradle money, but it was wisely secret
ed on her person. Responding to the
demand, she grabbed hold of an empty
purse that hung from her belt She
showed it to the pair and insisted that
this was all the money she had about
her.
~ We bi'h iDout u tloClS lUlS even
ing" Said Mrs. Allen, ''and if you are
here, then III give YOU few dollars
for letting me GO I intend to draw
some money from the bank in Carbon
dale"
The robbers, apparently satisfied that
their endeavors We're fruitless, let Mrs.
Allen DEPART
When Mrs. Allen reached this city
about o'clock, she reported the hold
up at a store, where she made some
purchases. She was a trihe nervous,
but otherwise showed no sign of her
trying experience.
Mrs. Aliens description of the men
tallies exactly, as to height, with the
pair who committed the Dundaff stree,
robberies on Brennan and Miller. One
was tail and heavily built. the other
was understood. Both wore old, worn
and dirty clothes.
Mis-. Allen bought a revolver before
leaving Carbondale on the return trip,
and declared she was ready for any
one who might repeat the morning per-
formance. Mrs. Allen was a former
resident of carbondale. Her husband
is famillarly known as Badger" Allen
