"A systematic plan for the rob-
bing of the Lehigh Valley road by
illegal sale of tickets has been un-
earthed by the company's detectives
at Hoboken. The clue that led to
the unmasking of the men was dis
covered by a boy who swept out one
of the stations. The tickets he
came across did not correspond with
the series on sale and this fact was
communicated to a detective. Al
ter an investigation it was found
that the agents were in a plot to
steal tickets and dispose of them.

-Honesdale is coming to the
front in the matter of up-to-date inn
proyements. Wayne's capital will
soon be able to boast of handsome
modern hotel which will be built
by capitalists on historic Irving
Cliff. The site of the new hostelry
is an excellent one, as it affords a
sweeping view of the town. 1t was
named in honor of Washington Irv-
ing on the occasion of that famous
authors visit to Honesdale in COM
pany with Philip Hone a good many
years ago. The new hotel should
prove a success and be the means of
attracting many persons to the Maple
City, which is one of the most de-
lightful places in the state. Its
natural beauty and healthful loca-
tion are not surpassed anywhere else
in OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Truth.
