-Cyrenus Ball is d. & II. con-
ductor between Honesdale and Car
bondale just now, for Conductor
Ward is taking a little vacation. MIR.
Ball is greeted by Wayne and Lack
awanna county friends daily on the
short train over the Moosics.
Eddie Huyck, the clever steeple-
jack from Deposit, could not shin
the Methodist steeple today because
of the forbidding weather, but he
and the other members of the slate
roofing concern put in their time to
good advantage mixing gold leaf and
getting ready to retouch the weather
vane. Crosses, A. j. Huyck, the
veteran roofer, says are plain sail
ing, but the weather vanes are more
touchy Jobs to handle.
In Athletic hall, South Scran-
ton, Fred Foster, Scranton's heavy
weight champion wrestler, will meet
Joe Tiplady of Olyphant, who claims
the welterweight championship of
the county, tonight. The match is a
handicap one, Foster agreeing to
throw the Olyphant man three times
bet of $3.50 apiece. Foster finished
his training Tuesday and is in fine
trim for a hard tussle. Tiplady is
also declared to be in tiptop shape.
Services will be resumed in the
Presbyterian church Sunday. The
pastor will preach at 1890 a. m. A
service of unusual interest will be
held in the evening at 7.30. This is
Laborday Sunday. Addresses will be
made by A. T. Searle, Homer Greene,
Esq, and Thomas p. Lovely of Bos-
ton, an officer of the Boot and Shoe
makers Labor union. Sonners or
chestra will assist with the music.
A cordial invitation is given to all,
particularly working men and
women.
-Four young men more or less
well known in the borough aim to
in New York, going down in a buzz
wagon. One fellow, an agreeable
salesman in a retail store, promised
to join the gasoline journey to the
metropolis and then at the eleventh
hour renigged, his excuse being that
the new suit in which he invested
the other day would be ruined by
the dust and so on that might be
encountered between Honesdale and
New York.
The Boy Scout movement is still
being agitated, though at present in
a quiet way, by the Honesdale men
and women interested in the organ
ization of band here. All that is
needed, according to the man, a
professional man, most impressed
by the feasibility of the idea, is
somebody to take hold of the move
ment as an organizer. The right
man, this informant stated, has not
yet been found. In Scranton, Har-
risburg, Altoona and other Pennsyl-
vania cities the Scouts are in good
shape, both numerically and fl
nancially, and are accomplishing
practical work by increasing the
number of boys willing to cut out
cigarettes, cheap novels, smutty
talk and low associates as the es-
sential steps toward decent boyhood.
1t is expected that by cool weather
a suitable man will have been found
and that then the training of the
lads will be started in good earnest.
"A non-union glasscutter from
the Herbeck-Demer shops was jeer-
ed and hissed and called a scab by
about 100 men as he crossed the
Sixth street bridge Tuesday night
just before o'clock. Policeman
Canavan, who was sent for, came in
citizens clothes and quieted the
crowd. County Detective Spencer
was also a peacemaker. Late that
night, not far from the German
Catholic church, the same man, this
time on his way from the Lyric,
where he had witnessed Home
Ties" was hissed and called a scab
and addressed by other Opprobrious'
names. George Wolfe, who was
with him, reached for a gun and
fired two shots in the air. Police
man Canavan, who had been follow
ing the party of 80 or 40 men, now
came up and dispersed the crowd
that was annoying the two men.
Afterward he took Wolfe and his
wife up Main street to Policeman
DeGroat's post, and the latter es-
corted them to the borough line on
their way home.
Thoughtful men, alive to the
sharp problem of keeping the young
folks on the farm from drifting TO
the city and also wise to the neces-
sity of teaching farming as sci
ence, hope the agricultural course
decided on by the school board last
year may speedily be put in opera
tion. One of them, a leading law
yer of Wayne county, said Wednes-
day that Pennsylvania farmers
could raise apples as good as those
raised by the farmers of Oregon, the
best paid orchardists in the world,
