"A telegram received on Monday an
nounced the death of T. ]. McCarty, at
Boarderland, West Virginia. A tele-
gram previously received gave informa-
ton that he had received serious in
jury, and his brother, Hon. Charles A.
McCarty, was about to start for West
Virginia, when he received second tele-
gram, announcing his death. The in
formation received was so meager that
the cause of his death is not known other
than that it was from some injury. In
stead of going to his brother, Mr.. Nc
Carly decided to have the remains for
warded here for burial, and SO informed
the parties at West Virginia by telegram.
The remains are expected to arrive at
Waymart, but the exact time is uncer-
tain. From Waymart he will be taken
to the Catholic Cemetery at Canaan, for
burial T. J. McCarty, after graduating
from the Normal School, at Waymart,
studied law in Honesdale, and was ad-
mitted to the bar as an attorney. Hon.
II. Wilson, who was chairman of the ex-
animation committee, moved for his ad-
mission to the bar, stating to the court
that bis qualifications and knowledge of
the principles of law as found by the
committee were all Of very high order.
Such recommendations are unusual, and
when given are generally conceded to be
a mark of more than ordinary merit.
The profession of law, after his admis-
sion, did not seem to attract him, and
he never located for practice. He trav-
eled somewhat in the West, and finally,
about nine years ago, located in West
Virginia, where he had charge of the
mining business of some PENNSYLVANIA
capitalists. He remained in this capac-
ity until his death. He visited Homes
dale little more than year ago, and
spoke in high terms of the future of West
Virginia, on account of its great natural
resources. He was not married, and left
to survive. him three brothers, John, of
Jermyn, William, of Carbondale, and
Charles A. McCarty, of Honesdale; and
two sisters, Mary and Margaret, both of
Honesdale. No time has been fixed for
the funeral.
The Chicago Stock Company will
offer at the Lyric, tomorrow, Thursday
night, the military drama, "Genesee of
the Hills" 1t is strong play and is
given by special permission from Edwin
Arden. The Friday night bill is f. H.
Sothern's great success, "An Enemy to
the King" "Genesee of the Hills" is
a story of cowboy scout who was rails
ed with the Indians and afterwards be-
came their chief. During the Indian up
risings, some years ago, this band re-
fused to join the other tribes while Gene
see Jack himself offered his services to
Government and acted as scout. The
name of the original star of the play,
Edwin Arden, and the prosperous run
at the New Astor Theatre, New York,
should be endorsement enough to any
theatregoer, and this is positively the
first time the play has ever been pre-
sented at less than the two-dollar prices.
1t is dramatization of Mary Ellis Ry-
ans novel published by Harper Bros.
One of the Russell Park lots on
Church street, advertised last week, has
been sold to Mrs. Theresa Green, of 6l6
Church street, proprietor of the Homes
dale News and Novelty store. The other
lot is still on the market.
The first of the weeks entertain
ments at the Lyric, given by the Chicago
Stock Co. was greeted by full house,
and proved to be "a very satisfactory per-
formance. The company is made up
very capable people, and assuming that
the Opening jplay was fair sample
of their repertoire, theatregoers have
prospects of pleasant week before them.
Least in size and age appearing on the
stage on Monday evening were the year
ling Heavenly Twins" and it is no
disparagement to the rest of the cast to
say that the kids carried off the lions
share of the honors.
