One of Wayne County's Best Diaries.

Altoona Farm which is owned
and operated by Mr.. w. H. Marshall,
in Berlin, near Indian Orchard, has
with it's dairy of fourteen COWS, made
a remarkable record. In June last,
his herd and entire dairy appurten-
ances were inspected by F. B. Hol-
ford, a graduate of Cornell Univer-
Sity and veterinary employed by the
Borden Condensed Milk Co. His re-
port was ten, the highest mark in
regard to health and cleanliness,
and five, the highest mark as to good
condition of flesh. He also secured
the highest mark concerning clean
liness and ventilation of stables, area
of windows, cement floors and daily
haul Of manure on fields. The water
supply and milk house and utensils
also received highest mark. The
house is entirely separate from other
buildings, has cement floor and
necessary light and ventilation.
Pals and strainers, and the proper
care of cans were also marked per-
feet. The total score was 100, the
highest that could be attained.
This, we are informed by Mr..
Holden, is the best record obtained
by patron of the Honesdale sta
ton, and is the fifth that has been
given at this station since he has
been with Borden e Co. Having
met all the requirements of this
company, it proves that Mr.. Marshall
has model dairy.
Mr.. Marshall tells us that the
modern system, which he uses, has
saved him at least 25 per cent. in
feed and fertilizer.
Tight floors prevented loss of ma
nure, and careful feeding stopped
loss of feed.
Mr.. Marshall is to be compliment
ed upon his excellent record.

The Scheme Failed to Work-The
Jail Door Didn't,

The Tunkhannock Democrat of
Friday, says: A man who gave his
name of George G. Thompson was
arrested at Laceyville on Wednesday
and brought to the county Jail here
that evening. He went to the sta
tion at Laceyville and wanted the
express agent to give him a receipt
for a package said to contain $780,
900 in government bonds which he
wished to send off for collection.
The papers were made out, but as
the agent had not seen the bonds,
he was a little doubtful about CIV
ing the receipt. He thought he re-
membered having seen a circular
containing the picture of a man re-
sembling Thompson who was wanted
elsewhere for offenses he had COM
mitted and telegraphed to express
headquarters at New York and re-
ceived word to have the man arrest
ed as he was wanted for crimes COM
mitted in New York and New Jer-
sey. The man had been in Lacey
vile few days and had tried to get
be a man of wealth and showing
checks of ten and twenty thousand
dollars each, amounting in all to
$4,000. He did not succeed in
getting any money that way. The
package was opened and found to
contain only old newspapers. His
scheme may have been to have had
the packages stolen and try to col
lect the money from the express
company from the receipt. He
boarded at a private house in this
place for week and is said to
have had a woman confederate who
secured work at one of the hotels
here. She left on the day when the
express package was supposed to
have been sent. a detective is eX-
pected here to take him to New
jersey.

4 Former Honesdale Couple Di-
vOrced in California.

The World, of San Bernadia, Cal,
of recent date, has the following
concerning a couple who formerly
resided in this place:
William H. Bates, the West High
lands orange grower, was the hap
piest man in town last evening, for
he had been granted an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce from Mrs. An
gle L. Bates. Mrs. Bates was not
so joyful, for she had not only lost
her defense and cross-complaint,
but she is in serious likelihood of
prosecution on the charge of per-
jury, Judge Bledsoe announcing
from the bench that her testimony
was the most ilagrant example he
had ever witnessed. He went di-
rectly to the district attorneys Of
that official will at once begin an
investigation that will probably lead
to a warrant for Mrs. Bates arrest.
1t was near the close of the case
when Mrs. Bates was recalled to the
stand by Judge Bledsoe. She had
denied that she had written a letter
to her husband at Forest City, Pa,
refusing to accept his invitation to
return to live with him. The letter
was introduced in evidence and the
witness denied authorship. A let
ter written previously by Mrs. Bates
was introduced and a handwriting
expert was called. He declared that
the letters were written by the same
person.
Judge Bladsoe reminded the wit
ness that she was under oath, but
she stuck to her denial, and then
the judge accused her of perjury.

EIGHT MEN KILLED.
Twenty-cight Buried Under Debris
and Badly Injured.

In Philadelphia, Thursday, i'm
mediately after lunch hour, while
hundred of pedestrians were hurry
ing back to their work, the five
story building at the northwest cor
ner of Eleventh and Market streets
collapsed, carrying eight persons
to their death and burying 2S
others. All the dead were men
who had been working on the
structure which was in course of
repair. Among the injured who
were taken to hospitals were a num-
Der who had been caught under
meath the avalanche of bricks.
Three of them were women, whose
first realization of danger came
when the tons of weight fell clat-
tering about and upon them. There
were perhaps a score of persons who
kere struck by pieces of flying
debris, who were treated on the
spot and whose names were not re-
corded.
There were various reports as to
the cause of the accident. The one
which seemed most generally ac-
cepted was that the collapse was
caused by the swinging of heavy
iron beam against the upper stories
of the building.
For several weeks the building
has been undergoing repairs to be
put in preparation for the United
Gas Improvement company, which
intended to use it for show rooms
Three upper stories were supported
by wooden timbers until the iron
should be put in place. 1t was in
raising one of the huge beams which
were to take the weight of the
structure from the wooden supports,
it is understood that the mishap was
caused The beam swung around
against one of the timbers knock
ing it's lower end from it's founda-
ton.
Those timbers resting upon it and
supporting the floor above sagged
downward, but for a minute held
fast. Then there came the sound
Of rending wood, of swapping of
boards, of tumbling bricks and an
instant atterward the mighty crash

Serious Error.

Scranton policemen arrested and
imprisoned for five days, pending
investigation, M. A. O'Malley and
George Haggerty, on suspicion that
they were footpads. The investiga-
tion failed to bring incriminating
evidence, and now the city will be
sued for $4,000 for false imprison-
ment. The lads were on their way
to Lake Lincoln, they claim, to take
a bath when arrested and had with
them soap and towels. That fact, of
course, proved their innocence.

Bridegroom Shot and Robbed-Wed-
ding Postponed.

Henry Brettler, of Lattimer, was
assaulted and robbed on his way to
McAdoo, Thursday afternoon to wed
Miss Susan Davis. The marriage
had to be postponed till he recovers.
His wounds consist of a laceration
of the scalp from a revolver bullet,
and several hard bruises from fall
ing from his bicycle after the shot
struck him.
In the afternoon he rode to Halle
ton on his wheel to draw some money
from the bank to prepare for the
glad event. He took out seventy-five
dollars, went around to jewelry
store and bought the ring, and after
some further purchases of shirts and
shoes, was on his return, intending
to go direct to her home.
Along the Beaver road, that part
which runs through a woods, he was
fired upon from ambush. The bullet
made painful wound in his head
and he got a heavy fall from his
wheel.
Two men came from the bushes
and they looked to him like Italians.
They robbed him of his money, the
ring, his watch and chain, pair of
new shoes and two shirts. He be-
came unconscious after they left and
was found by butcher coming by.
The butcher took him home. When
he had the wound dressed he in
sisted on going to see his bride-elect
and she was greatly shocked as he
entered the house with a bandage
like the headgear of an Arabian
horseman.

Probably Fatally Injured.

Joseph Chuchinsky, of Jessup, aged
80 years, was probably fatally injur-
ed by being struck by a Delaware
and Hudson train Friday morning.
He was hurried to the State hospital,
where it was found that his right
arm was mangled at the shoulder
and his head cut and bruised.
When the accident occurred, Chu-
chinsky was walking from Jessup to
Olyphant. He was thrown in the
air, falling with his arm on the
track.

Petrol uRutter."

Unless the new petrol butter, the
latest product of the Standard Oil
company, is made exclusively from
unadulterated milk, it will come un-
der the oleomargarine head and can
not be sold in this state as butter.
1t can only be sold under license,
issued in conformity to the oleo act.
At present the ingredients of the
new "butter" are not known to the
dairy and food division, but it is
probable that an analysis will be
made of the new substance as soon
as it is offered for sale in Pennsylva-
mia.

Tried to Wreck sIonesdale Trains.

On Friday afternoon two attempts
were made to wreck Erie trains on
the Honesdale branch. One was at
Glen Eyre, when a freight engine
dug up tie and ground it beneath
the wheels, but which fortunately
did not cause derailment.
Later in the day the passenger
train due here at p. m, struck a
pile of ties in Greystone cut, near
Kimbles, but not much damage was
occasioned, as the engineer saw the
obstruction in time to almost stop
before the ties were struck. Those
would-be train wreckers will doubt
less soon be in custody.
