BOARD Of TRADE
SUPPORTS PLAN
Gives $40 to Monument
Project; DIR. BaIta Elected
TO WAIT ON COMMISSIONERS IN
REGARD TO LACKAWAXEN
BRIDGE.

The regular monthly meeting of
the Greater Honesdale Board of
Trade was held Friday evening at
the city hall. President f. w.
Kreitner presided and the minutes
of the June meeting were read and
approved.
There were no reports forthcom-
ing from the different standing COM
mittees and special committees out
standing reported progress in the
different matters under their juris-
diction.
On motion it was carried that the
three gentlemen elected on the $780,
900 emergency fund committee be
empowered to select anyone they
choose or fill any vacancy that may
exist on the committee.
On motion of R. ]. Murray sec
~onded by S. T. Ham it was carried
that the Greater Honesdale Board of
Trade contribute $40 toward the
preliminary expenses of the Stour-
bridge Lion-Horatio Allen monu-
ment fund.
1t was stated that the Street and
Highway committee had been sue
cessful in getting the approval of the
court to erect foot bridge across
the Lackawaxen river opposite Court
street to Park street and that it now
rested with the county commission
ers to approve or reject the bridge.
The speaker suggested that the
Board of Trade appoint committee
to wait upon the county commission
ers and induce them to build the
bridge. Upon the recommendation
President Kreitner appointed COM
mittee consisting of NJ. E. Simons
G. P. Searle and S. T. Ham.
DR.. j. w. Balta was elected a
member of the board of trade, and
another name was proposed for
membership.
Bills amounting to sS.7S were or
dered paid.

CROPS DESTROYED
BY HAIL STORM
Ground Covered as with
Snow in Middle of July
FREAKY STORM DOES A LARGE
AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO
GARDENS.

The vagaries of Wayne county
weather were never better illustrat-
ed than last Saturday afternoon,
when, at about four O'Clock, a mar
row strip of territory north of Homes
dale was visited by a terrific hail
storm, covering the ground with ice
balls, to a depth of several inches.
At the home of Theodore Day,
the seasoned weather seer of the
Dyberry, the hail stones were so
thick in the hollow you could scoop
them up with your hands.
The road at Eugene Bates looked
as if it was covered with snow. You
would hardly believe it, unless you
saw it.
Cucumbers and garden stuff were
cut off and spoiled in many of the
gardens down Bethany way. Chas.
White, Eugene Bates, Asa Kimble,
and Lee Painter, Bethany, were the
worst sufferers, their crops being
almost entirely ruined. Rev. White
had as nice piece of corn as could
be found in the county, the stalks
being as tall as a man. After the
storm had wreaked it's fury on his
fields, the stalks were left just hang
ing in shreds. A bed of 100 cab
bage plants, belonging to the re-
verend gentleman was also destroyed.
The worst feature of the havoc
wrought by this freaky storm which
streaked its way across a narrow
belt of Wayne territory is the fact
that the fifteenth of July is pretty
late date to plant anything. A
couple of weeks later you might sow
rye, but nothing now with any hopes
of reaping this season.
At Tanners Falls the storm was
majestic in it's fury. The heavens
were ablaze with heat or chain
! lightning. The thunders rolled in
one continuous roar. At Rief1er's
acid factory, the employees got
scared and shut down the mills.
The storm did little or no damage
in the Country Seat, beyond delaying
the ball game at the silk mill
grounds for some twenty minutes.
1t may safely be said that If the
climatic conditions in the county are
as variable for the second half of the
summer, as they have been during
the first part of the heated term,
New England, notorious as wealth
er-breeder, may well look to her
laurels.

COMPANY {
GOES TO CAMP
Will be Formally Opened
on Saturday Morning
CAPTAIN KELLY AND EDWARD
VARCOE HOLD RECORDS FOR
SERVICE.

The advance detail of Company E,
Thirteenth Regiment, National
Guard of Pennsylvania, will leave on
Wednesday for Selinsgrove, the seat
of camp for the third brigade, to
which Company E belongs. The
guard will be composed of Daniel
Faatz, sergeant; Charles Faatz, cor
poral; Michael Stahl, Edwin Bid
we'll, George Shield, George Vande-
mark and Philip Millard. The COM
pany will follow on the 4:40 after
noon Delaware and Hudson train
Friday. The boys will go to Scran-
ton and from thence on the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail-
road to Selinsgrove.
This is the first time the home
company will have camped upon this
ground. The site is being staked out
for the construction of bath houses,
location of tents and other structures
by company of engineers.
There are more than 800 men on
the advance detail. The camp will
be formally opened on Saturday
morning, July %, at 1880.
Every afternoon at 1880 there
will be an hours drill. Saturday, at
$50, the Thirteenth regiment will
parade at brigade headquarters, the
parade being Immediately followed
by the guard mount in the respective
organizations. On Sunday there will
be no duty for the men except
church at 1890 until 4:30 when
the entire brigade will be reviewed.
Wednesday will be Governors Day.
This camp concludes twelve sue
cessive years for Captain Carol j.
Kelley, who has not missed a camp
during his four terms in the militia.
Captain Kelley has held every Office
in the company to captain and has
been the company's able leader the
past five years. 1t is to him that the
members of Company E are indebted
| to a great measure for their armory
on Park street. Captain Kelley and
citizens committee claimed that
the Honesdale company was en-
| titled to an armory, and by their
persistency and influence an approp-
ration was secured.
Outside of Captain Kelley, who
holds the record for the longest con-
tinuous service, is Edward P. Varcoe
who has served four terms continu-
ously with the exception of two
months. Mr.. Varcoe has re-enlisted
in the company for the fifth term
and will go to camp with the boys
on Friday. The records of both
gentlemen are worthy of commenda-
tion.

JERMYN BEATEN
4-3 BY LOCALS
Crane Makes Spectacular
Catch on Saturday Last
BASE BALL ACTION ALL THE
TINE WITH ESPECIAL CREDIT
TO HESSIING.

Honesdale nosed out a win in the
sixth inning in Saturdays clash with
the Jermynites, at the silk mill
grounds, which the County Seaters
won by a to 3 count.
From the opening stanza, until
the last man was put out, there was
base ball action. Also there was
nineteen minutes of inaction when
Jupiter Pluvius got in his fine work
at the end of the fourth inning.
To Benjamin Franklin Hessling
and his conspicuous brethren be-
longs the credit of the victory, aided
and abetted by some bad errors on
the part of the Miners.
The Jermynites didn't do much in
the first three rounds. To be exact
only one of them reached first,
Murray by name, who got to the
bag on Mangan's wild throw to
Ross, but was put out trying to
steal second.
The County Seaters got away with
flying start of one run in the open
ing inning. In pitchers battle,
such as was fought by Corcoran and
Hessling, that tally looked as large
as 60x40 house lot on a Florida
land promoters map. Mangan, first
man up, walked, advancing to sec
ond on Captain Brader's easy
grounder to Murray. Ross whizzed
double over first, Mangan stroll
ling home. Unfortunately in trying
to stretch his hit into three-bag-
ger, Ross was caught at third. San
dercock rolled to Captain Costello.
Murray started the "merry-go-
round" for Jermyn in the fourth, by
slapping a single to centre. Cap
tain Costello's patience was reward
ed by pass to first. Miller flied
to Juicy" Polt. Murray and Cos
tello executed a beautiful steal.
Sharkey hit the ball into left gar
den, Murray and Costello scoring.
Sharkey however, was caught trying
to steal second, and Mulherin ended
the agony by putting pop fly into
Kupfer's hands. Score 2 to 1.
The score remained two to one
until the sixth inning, when Homes
dale made three runs. Mangan got
to second on Murray's wild throw
to first Captain Brader continued
the good work by doubling to left,
scoring Mangan. Ross reached first
on Neary's tumble and stole second.
Meanwhile Sandercock famed.
Kupfer lined hot one to Neary, who
threw wild to Sharkey, Brader and
Ross scoring. Polt famed. Davitt
made a great catch of Schilling's
fly to left Score to 2.
Jermyn threatened again in the
eighth. With two down, Murray
singled to left. Captain Costello
doubled to right, scoring Murray
Sandercock dropping the ball on the
throw in. Ended was the agony
when Juicy" Polt made hail
trigger catch of Miller's long hit tc
centre. Score 4-3.
That pactically ended the game
neither side scoring after that.
Features of the game were
Cranes wonderful running one
handed catch of Schilling's fly tt
centre in the third, and a double
play in the second executed by Kup
! fer and Brady.
