GETS THE $50 SHE WON by
BEATING ARCHIBALD AT LAKE
LODORE ON HEPTASOPH DAY,
THOUGH 1T TOOK SOME TIME
TO COLLECT THE BILL.

WHITE MILLS, Sept. 20.-White
Mills has won out in her effort to
collect the $50 for winning the ball
game with Archibald at Lake Lodore
Aug. II. The amusement commit
tee of the northeastern Pennsylvania
Heptasoph outing awarded the team
$3.50. In other words, White Mills
got $50 and costs.
The game was a hot one and the
result was claimed as a victory by
both sides. For seven innings neith-
er nine scored. Then Catcher Shat
fer of the Millers, the Hans Wag-
ner of local baseballdom, came to
bat The first ball over the plate
and between the knee and shoulder
was the ball he hit. 1t went away
off toward the lake somewhere, ac-
cording to the best recollection of
players and spectators, and two men
on bases came in, while Shaffer
sprinted around to third and held
the bag.
Then came the old case of too
much umpire. Mcdonald called
Shaffer safe and then he changed
his decision. He called the Shaffer
fly foul ball. A wrangle arose, the
umpire was cussed and discussed.
and in the end Manager Tom Gill
took his team off the field Every
body outside the Archibald team and
their partisans said the White Mills
management did the proper thing.
A proposition to divide the purse
of $50 did not sound good to White
Mills and the dispute was carried to
the committees Scranton meeting
Sept. 6. The sworn statement of the
White Mills umpire was laid in evil
dence. 1t seemed to be conclusive
evidence. The committee gave
White Mills $50 and expenses.
I'VE knew all the time that we
| should win if we fought the thing
said Manager Gill. I'VE won that
game fairly, we got our money, and
we are satisfied

TO BEAUTIFY HoNEsDALE.
Mr.. Lutes Makes Lot of Practical
Suggestions To Improvement
Society

The Ladies' Improvement society
met in the council rooms at city hall
Monday evening to hear S. G.. Lutes
OF the Lutes Landscape company of
Tiffen, Ohio
The meeting was called to order
at 7.3O by Miss Caroline Petersen,
president of the society, who intro
duCed Mr.. Lutes. His remarks from
beginning to end were educational
and worthy of much consideration.
He spoke of formal and natural gar
dening and suggested that the wom-
en- of Honesdale adhere to the lat
ter as much as possible.
When asked what he would sug-
gest be done with the marble lions
head presented the society by Miss
Jennie BronsCombe several years
ago, he suggested that time be spent
until enough finances could be raised
to give IT a proper place in the pub
lie grounds. Speaking of the possi-
bilities of Glen Dyberry cemetery,
Mr.. Lutes stated that he had never
seen a town with more possibilities
of beautifying it's cemeteries than
Honesdale This statement was not
made in self-interest, as Mr.. Lutes
could not take up any more work in
the East than he has, as it has been
a custom to confne his work to the
Middle West. However, Mr. Lutes
would gladly give his reasons, as to
suggestions and ideas, without any
compensation.
In regard to the public parks, he
deemed it advisable not to use so
much mulanty in the trimming of
trees and public walks. The advisa-
bility of a public playground was
suggested to Mr.. Lutes and he assert
ed strongly that the women lend
their best energies to establishing
playground.
He suggested the removal of the
fence from around the soldiers
monument in Central park. When
asked what action should be taken
against the wrecking and damaging
the benches in Central park, he sug-
gested that the offenders, whoever
they may be, be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law and examples
made of them.
The executive committee of the
Honesdale society extended invita-
tions to the committees of the vari
Gus improvement societies of the
suburbs of Honesdale and represen-
| tatives from nearly all these organi-
| cations were present.

DEATH OF MRS. MEYERS.

Seffrin Meyers, died Saturday noon

ner. She had been a seriously sick
woman two weeks, and for l 5 years

left her weaker. For IL or IA days
before she died she was practically
helpless. She lived with her son,

PALMYRA WINS AT LAST.
Township Gets Bridge Over Lacka-
waXen Prayed For 40 Years.

After praying and petitioning for
over 40 years for a bridge, the
prayer of the citizens of Palmyra
township living above town along the
LackawaXen river, just outside the
borough limits, has been answered,
says the Hawley Times. They are
to have a bridge and a good one,
too.
In 1869 the Honesdale branch of
the Erie was built and for about
mile from the West Hawley depot
the roadbed was located on or near
the wagon road, crowding it near the
river bank, and in some places it is
just wide enough for one wagon.
With the railroad on one side and
high river bank on the other it
became a dangerous place to drive,
and many merchants were compelled
to refuse to deliver goods to resi-
dents on the West side of the river,
as it was impossible to get to their
homes except by this roadway.
About ten years ago the court ap-
pointed viewers, who reported in
favor of a bridge to accommodate
the residents at this point. The fol-
lowing grand jury also reported
favorable. The court affirmed the
grand juTy's report, but the commits
sioners held up the matter The
present board has had drawings and
estimates on the bridge several times,
but the figures We're so high they
did not think it practical to build
it.
About two weeks ago the commits
sioners received communication
from the Horse Heads bridge COM
pany, asking them if they had a
place for a bridge OF $50 feet span.
The company said they had one for
sale and would erect it for $1,5O0,
Mr. HOrnbeck was made a commit
tee of one to go and inspect the
bridge. On his favorable report a
contract was made and the bridge will
be ready for use November l The
price paid was about one-fourth Of
what new bridge would cost
This bridge will fill longfelt
want and the board of commission
especially Mr.. Vaudeville who
has had the people of Palmyra in
mind ever since he was elected on
the board-are deserving of much
credit for what they have done for
the people of this vicinity. It's a
fine bridge, and it didn't cost the
county a fortune, either.

YOUNG RoUGHs ARE PULLED.
Pay Pretty Bill For Stoning a Car
bondale Auto Party.

CARBONDALE, Sept 2O.-While
P. f. Mccain and a party of friends
were speeding over the hills to
Cherry Ridge Saturday night they
were attacked near Waymart by a
trio of young men who had been
celebrating. Several stones were
thrown at the automobile and the
radiator was broken.
Constable e. j. Neary was in the
party and after an exciting chase he
succeeded in capturing one of the
trio, who was brought to this city
and placed in the lookup. The young
man divulged the names of the other
two and Constable Neary returned
to the country, bringing them both
back in an auto.
They were given a hearing Mon
day before Alderman Nealon and
agreed to pay the costs, also the
damages to the machine. The occu-
pants of the auto narrowly escaped
being struck by the stones.

down through the ages from the

Rev. Thomas NJ. Hanley, the pas

12 years ago. He began improve

only upon the completion of the in

st. Johns Catholic church is built
of blue stone and was commenced
in 1876, the cornerstone having been
laid in 1878. In 1882 it was solemn
ly dedicated to the worship of God
by the late Bishop O'Hara.
The church is of Gothic architec-
ture ana responds most readily to
the architectural decorations lately
completed in the interior of the
church. The pictures and paintings
are taken from scriptural subjects
and include the IL apostles, st. Pat
rick, st. Bridget and st. Cecilia.
over the main altar is the ascen-
sion of Christ and the Good Shep-
herd, also the assumption. The sta
tions of the cross which were do
mated few years ago are statutes
representing the passion and the
death of Christ and now correspond
with the paintings and decorations
which have been completed. The
design of the church includes a spire
or steeple which has not yet been
placed upon the church. With this
exception everything pertaining to
the edifice has been completed.

Leslie Brown, the station agent at

that was in the Ariel wreck, were
not discharged because of any mis-
take they had made in the orders
but because of the agents signing

order This is a common practice
among agents where the train men
are in a hurry to keep their schedule.
The general opinion among the rail

to blame for the wreck and many
