srBOYS WILL BE BOYS"-
EVEN IN HON-l5DALE.

Explosion OF Dynamite Cap In Va
cant Lot On Hand Estate, Last
Saturday, Severely Injuries Four
Boys-Criminal Negligence On
Part OF Individual Who Left
Them Along The River Bank.
That boys will be boys"-even in
Honesdale-was demonstrated again
last Saturday morning when Mas
ters William and Donald Spencer,
sons of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Spencer
and Alfred and William Ward, sons
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Ward, who
found several dynamite caps, with
wires attached, lying around loose
on the Park Lake bank, after the
blasting last Tuesday, made use of
the weekend holiday by playing
with them.
1t was dangerous sport as the Sc
quel will show. Boys shouldn't do
such things, but they will / suppose.
They ought to know better too. But
then we were young once, too" said
man in describing the accident to
CITIZEN reporter. "They found
four or five of them on the river bank
and took to fooling with them. Only
one went off. One was enough
Three boys had the ma1ehes.
William, the oldest boy hit til ! right
place. All had a whack at 1T. They
didn't strike the right place. He
did. 1t knocked them all down.
Most of them had marks on the face.
Three or four holes were shot
through Donald Spencer's blouse" ."

best of all. Alfred and William
Ward got the worst of it. Alfred
was severely hurt in his face and
eyes. Mr.. and Mrs. William ].
Ward, fearing lest their sons eye
sight be destroyed, hurried him to
private hospital in Scranton, where
their fears were allayed.
No blame should be attached to
the innocent boys. In the opinion
of many persons it was criminal neg
ligence to leave these powerful nitro
glycerine caps lying along the river
bank. The name of the man who
left them there should be found out
and the blame be put on him, and
not on the boys who could not be
supposed to have any knowledge OF
such dangerous explosives.

THE GRAND JURY, COMMENTS
ON RUMORS THAT MONEY
HAS BEEN IMPROPERLY USED
IN CONNECTION WITH ELEC-
TIONS IN THIS COUNTY ALL
TWENTY-FOUR JURORS PRES
ENT, MONDAY AFTERNOON
w. A. GAYLORD, HONESDALE,
APPOINTED FOREMAN.
Its rather remarkable to have
you all here" said Judge A. T.
Searle, in charging the members of
the grand jury, at the opening of
January term of court, Monday af-
ternoon, when all twenty-four men
drawn, answered present" as their
names were called. H. H. Wilcox,
Mount Pleasant, was excused, so as
to leave the number twenty-three
in conformity with common law.
w. A. Gaylord, Honesdale, was
appointed foreman. Judge A. T.
Searle then addressed the jury, in
part as follows:
Gentlemen of the Jury: BY the
Act of the Assembly of 1894, it was
provided that twenty-four persons
should be summoned to appear at
each term. By common law, only
23 are allowed to sit. 1t takes
twelve of your number to find true
bill 1t is required that there must
not be over % to constitute a grand
jury, and prevent possible tie.
There are just 23 in the box to-day"
You doubtless have noticed the
prosecutions and convictions for vio-
lation of election laws in Adams
county, Ohio, and nearly all the Gov
ernors who have recently been in
augurated, in their messages have
spoken of the purity of the ballot and
the crime of buying votes and. the
use of money in connection with
elections.
1T is not only a crime to buy a
vote but it is crime to offer money
to buy a vote either for a primary
or general election. 1t is also a
crime to offer a man money to pro-
cure his aid or assistance in what
is generally known as working for
candidate"
Occasionally we have heard rum
ors that money has been improperly
used in connection with elections in
the county of Wayne, and if you
should know either of any person
selling a vote, or of a person offer
ing to buy vote, or offering anoth-
er money for the purpose of in
fluencing him or having him influ-
ehce his friends in connection with
any primary or general election, it
wauld be your right and duty to re-
tarn the person so offending and have
an indictment drawn by the dis
trict attorney. 1t is certainly true
that a correct ballot and improper
use of money in connection with
elections is one of the greatest evils
now threatening our popular form
of government"
In concluding Judge Searle ad-
monished them to do their duties
honestly and fearlessly as upright
men,"

people of this state. There are many
who, remembering a certain SJuly
Fourth, will lean emphatically to
the opinion that Reno has had about
enough visitations in the shape of
championship fights. On the other
hand, there are, no doubt, many
who will insist that so long as
the law relative to finish fights
in this state is what it is, there is
no good reason why the battle
if that be the right word-should
not be pulled off on Nevada soil.
Finally, the announcement is not
yet to be taken seriously, because
the prospect Of fight between the
Fighting Fireman and the Big
Smoke of the Golden Grin is not
one that would arouse much inter
est in the world of sport.

PEKING, China, Dec, 27-Pre-
mier Yuan Shi Kai has submitted
to the more prominent Manchus
here the proposal emanating from
Shanghai for the meeting of a spe-
cial national assembly to decide on
the future form of government
which shall be adopted for Chin
This step by the premier practically
means that he asks the court to
decide its own fate, because the
members of such a national assem-
bly, would decide in favor of a
republic. If the Manchus agree tc
adopt the suggestion their decision
to do so will be promulgated as
an edict, which in all probability
will be made public at once.

The leaders of both parties here
say the convention will be purely
a formal affair. There can, in
garding the result of such con-
vention, which they assert can be
called together within thirty days.
The present situation, it is said
by revolutionary leaders, was fully
anticipated. Every detail of the
plans is already complete for the
organization of a provincial gov
ernment and the eventual estab-
lishment of a stable government.
AS no reply has yet been re-

dispatch to Premier Yuan Shi Kai
pointing out that the acceptance of
the idea of a republic is the only
means of securing peace, the revo>
lutionaries are demanding vigorou
the immediate election of presi-
dent of the republic, and asking
that the government shall be pro-
ceeded with without any other no
tice taken of Peking.

included women and children.

The strategic point of Tabriz, $50
miles to the northwest of Teheran,
is another center of constant col
lisions between the Russian and
Persian elements. One dispatch says
the Russian artillery swept the
streets, while another, through
Russian source, says a condition
of anarchy exists, even the bank
being without adequate guards.
