Death of Henry H. Webb.

The death of Henry H. Webb, for
many years one of the most prominent
residents of Dyberry township, was brief
ly announced in our last issue. Rev. A.
G. Oliver kindly furnishes the following
more extended tribute to his memory:
Henry H. Webb, died at his home in
Prompton early Thursday morning,
March 18, 1909. The funeral services
were held in the Presbyterian church of
that place, at one O'Clock Saturday, the
burial service of the Grange, of which
organization he was long an active MEM
Der, being used. Interment was made
in Riverdale cemetery, Honesdale. The
Rev. w. E. Davis, of Waymart, offciat-
ed, assisted by the Rev. Geo. Lees, of
Prompton. Deceased was former resi-
dent of the Webb homestead, near Beth
any, where he was born in 1912, and
spent his life of sixty-seven years, ex-
cept few months in Honesdale and
Prompton. About one year ago, on ac-
count of failing health, it was thought
best for him to retire from the farm
where for thirty-seven years, together
with his excellent wife, who survives
him, he performed the duties of very
successful farmer. His married life
covers a space of time reaching back to
1872, when he was married to Miss Hat
tie Bunnell, daughter of John and Ann
Bunnell. Their children are Robert B.
of Forest City, and William c., now in
the west, both of whom are graduates
from Dental colleges and are doing busi-
ness by themselves.
The deceased was a man of energy
and good will, characteristic of the fam
lily from which he sprang, the first men,
Der of which came to this country from
England nearly one hundred years ago.
The original Webb homestead is now
owned by Charles Webb, nephew OF
the deceased, who has replaced the old
residence with one more modern and
slightly, and more in keeping with the
broad and beautiful fields surrounding it,
but it can hardly be a home of more
precious memories than the structure
which it has replaced.
Mr.. Webb was of family of eight
born to Richard and Grace Webb, who
were well known in this county. Two
sisters only survive him: Mary E.
wife of Rev. A. G. Oliver, and Anna w.
wife of DR.. w. Z. Butler, of Honesdale
The sufferings of the deceased were
intense as he neared the end. Every at.
tention was given to mitigate them, but
still disease held its way and conquered
His end was peaceful. Knowing the way
of life, he made the Bible and prayer
his constant companions, and found the
mercy that covers all our mistakes anc
sins, and saves us from their penalty anG
power. This sketch would be incom
plete should it fail to mention the kline
attentions of friends, but most of all those
of his faithful companion, who for man!
weary months, both night and day wa
constantly at his side.
His sufferings were endured with mucl
resignation and without complaint. Thu
are the landmarks being removed bu
so long as they leave an echo of victor,
behind them, we are constrained to say
All is well.

The Word "Pean."

"Paean" or "pean" at first denoted a
hymn to help giving god, "Paean"
having been a title of Apollo. By ex-

RHODES VERDICT CUT DOWN.
Judge Memminger Takes $4,000
From Amount Awarded.-And
Refused New Trial.

Columbia State.
Argument for a new trial IN the
ease Of O. NJ. Rhodes against the
CRANKY cotton mills, and a motion
that the verdict be set aside On the
ground that it is excessive, Was
made before Judge Memminger. The
ease when tried Friday, December
>. resulted in a verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum Of $4,000.
Judge Memminger very positively
refused the motion for new trial
for he exercised great care IN the
other trial, and the question OF
whether or not the verdict was ex-
cessive was brought up. After ar
.ument on this point, the Judge re-
duecd lie amount Of punitive dam
ages from $4,000 to $4,000.
The sum of actual damages re-
-urned by the jury was fixed at 81
800. the verdict now standing at 81
900 instead Of $4,000.
Judge Memminger in ruling SAID
that the jury could possibly have
acted in two ways, either giving a
large verdict with a view Of stamp
ing out further cause for action, o.
giving smaller verdict on the
around that this case was in the na
,ure Of first offense.
The case when tried created mucI
interest on account Of some OF the
unusual features presented in 1t. L
was the first case Of its kind to be
tried in a Richland court. The PLAIN
tiff alleged that he had been pre-
vented from securing employment OF
account Of having been "black list
ed'' by the defendant company. Thf
amount asked was $4,000, and tn
Jury after delibe ating about two
hours returned. a verdict for $40,
900.
The suit grew from strike Of
some of the employees Of the CRANKY
cotton mill, occurring in June, 1907
0. NJ. Rhodes, the plaintiff in this
case, was employed as a trucker II
this mill, and he alleges that abou
June 26, 1907, he was discharged
from the service Of the company, ant
ais name placed on a "black list
that was furnished other mills, anc
by which he was prevented from Sc
curing employment, finally beinE
forced to go to Virginia to get work
The plaintiff claims that his nam
vas placed on the list falsely, tn
alleged cause Of his leaving the com
pany's service being that he was

others designated as "strikers' a

Street Car Strike at Chicago Again a
Possibility.

Chicago. Aug. 20.-Rejection by the
North and West Side Street Car Mems
union OF the proposed wage schedule
offered by President Roach Of the Chi
cago Railways company again brings
within the range OF possibility a strike
of all street car men of this city. An
amicable settlement of the dispute,
however. is still hoped for and these
hopes are based to great extent on
the efforts which will probably be
made by President William Mahon of
the International Street Car Mems
union, who is expected here to take
charge of the situation.

eral weeks, of firing into the air, was
abolished, the order being "shoot to
kill"
An investigation shows the rioting
to have been caused by three new
members of the state constabulary,
who refused to obey the commands of
strikers when ordered from a street
car. These troopers. on their way
from Greensburg, Pa. to the plant,
were In citizens clothes. All were
armed. For weeks the strikers have
been holding up street cars and order
ing the occupants of them out. Here
tofore all have obeyed. However, the
three troopers and deputy sheriff,
all being armed. refused to be ordered
about by the strikers. They resisted
and battle ensued.

John C. Smith, trooper; unidentified
white man, believed to be striker.
OF the probably fatally wounded
three are members of the state con-
stabulary. the others being strikers or
others participating in the riot.
Among the several score injured ten
are In precarious condition and 1t Is
stated at the hospitals most of them
will succumb before many hours.
Property Loss Also Heavy.
Aside from the human sacrifice
property damage amounted to thou.
