RIOT FOLLOWS
 STRIKE MOVE
Reign of Terror in Liverpool as Result Of Railroad and Shipping
 Strike
GENERAL STRIKE CALLED

LIVERPOOL. Aug. 16.-A reign of terror exists here tonight. Troops are pouring into the city to quell the disorder. A special detail of guards are landing at the Wharves of the transatlantic liners. which, it is said, the rioters threaten to destroy with fire.
 Five prison vans carrying 9 riot CTS were attacked tonight by 3,000 rioters, the toughest class of Naux Hall street. The mob threw mis- siles Of every description and, de- fending themselves, the Hussars fired. First blanks were used; then ball. One man was killed and many wounded.
 The troops then charged with sa- hers and cleared the streets. So daring were the rioters that one tried to unhorse an officer. who shot the man, severely wounding him. The troops also fired on the mob in Bond street, wounding many, but here the affray was less serious.
 One mob tried 10 stop the street cars and the riot act was read by the police. This was answered by a fusillade of stones and several police men were injured.
 After a meeting of the union to- night it was announced that a shortage of milk and flour was not desired by the union, so a permit was given 10 move these on oondi- tion that union men are employed.
 Shipping is entirely paralyzed. The Lusitania. which arrived tonight from New York, was unable to dock, ow- ing to the strike of dockmen and tugmen.
 To rake Severe Measures.
 LONDON, Aug. 15.-The govern ment is prepared today to take hand in settling the labor upheaval, the gravity of which is demanding unusual measures. 4 conference at the office Of Premier Asquith between the heads of the industry and trades unions was held this afternoon, also a conference of the board of trade and strike com mittee. Sydney Buxton, president of the board, invited the representatives of all railways and labor bodies to meet him tomorrow with a view to settling differences. The intervention of the government cannot come a mo ment too soon. That was seen tonight when the amalgamated society of rai!- way servants, despite the agreement entered into in 1907, decided to call a general strike throughout the country. giving tae companies 24 hours to de- eide whether they were willing to meet the men and negotiate grievances.

NOTED DIVINE AND WIFE CELE-
BRATE THEIR GOLDEN WE'D
DING CHRISTMAS DAY IN
BINGEfAMTON - WILL BE A
FAMILY REUNION.

Inc golden wedding anniversary
of Rev. and Mrs. John Bunnell Sum-
ner, of Binghamton, N. Y, parents
of Mrs. Thomas A. Crossley of this
place, will be observed in the Parlor
City on Christmas Day.
Fifty years ago, December 25,
1861, Alma Lydia Gardner and John
B. Sumner were Joined in holy we'd
lock in the Gardner homestead in
Glenburn, Pa. Rev. Sumner soon
entered the ministry, his first charge
being at Wyalusing in 1863. Other
appointments efficiently filled in his
evently ministerial career were as
follows:
1875; Binghamton, High street,
1868; Binghamton, Main street,
1S79-1SS1; Milford, 1923; Susque-

wood Owing to ilI health Rev. j.
B. Sumner became superanuated in

His life has been crowned with
blessings and as minister of the
gospel he was considered among the
best in the Wyoming conference. He
was a member of the celebrated
Wyoming trio, the others being Rev.
John Eaycock, now of Scranton, and
Rev. w. B. Westlake, deceased. Mr..
Sumner also used his musical talents
in another direction, having written
music to several religious hymns and
gospel songs. One of the most IA
miliar is the oft sung piece-"I'm
a Child of a King" The music was
composed when Rev. Sumner was a
young man and in some manner some
one stole the copyright which pre-
vented him from receiving any re-
enumeration for his work. Mr.. Sum
ner wrote the music for prince OF
the Royal Line" besides other beau
tiful pieces. He is a talented and
gifted follower of the Lord. The

THE BEST PLACE TO
BUY XMAS GOODS
Is Right Here in Honesdale-Every
Store Has Complete Line.

Before local people send money
away from home to metropolitan de-
partment stores and mail order
houses why not look around the
home stores and see what the home
merchant has done for you?
Honesdale merchants have not
stood still the past few years. They
put in larger stocks of holiday and
Winter goods than ever before. They
study the market carefully, buy OF
responsible wholesale houses and get
goods that are both stylish and sub
stantial, good for permanent wear.
The excuse is sometimes made
| that the metropolitan store has a
| larger assortment of goods. But
| this larger assortment is commonly
of use to but few buyers. The
great department store, for the sake
of its reputation for completeness
has to carry a large amount OF very
costly goods to meet the whims OF
very wealthy people. If you want
parlor rug costing from $40 to 800
it is of but little use to you thai
the metropolitan store has full line
of $1,000 Orientals.
Furthermore, the carrying OF these
great assortments is an expense thai
all has to come out of the consumer
1t means sacrifice sales when goods
become out of date, and the origina
price has to be high enough to pay
for all these losses.
The supreme advantage of buying
at home is that you can do the shop
ping at your leisure, and always SCI
the goods personally. The purchase
made by mail is a reckless plung'
into a grabIbag of unknown con
tents. Even when on an excursion
to the great city you see the good
personally, your time is usually 81
limited that you don't have the op
portunity for consideration afforde'
by the leisurely visit to the hom
store. The results are apt to be cor
respondingly disappointing.
The bigger the metropolitan em
porium, the more machine-like Is tn
attention you get. The clerk or pro
prietor at home usually is in a posi-
tion to give you some useful infoI

SPORTING GOSSIP.

AT the Seelyville Fire Hall on
Tuesday, December 10, the Rink
Five" of Honesdale met their first
defeat in eight games played this
season. 1t was the most exciting
game ever seen in Seelyville, the
Honesdale boys leading at enr end
of the first half by the score of Z to
6. The second half was more one
sided, Seelyville scoring 13 points.
while the Rink Boys only made B.
The crowd had grown so large by
the time the second half began that
half of one end of the room (the end
where the Honesdale basket was)
was filled with spectators and in some
mysterious way the lamp near the
basket went out so that the Rink
Boys were Shooting in the dark"
And of course the game wasn't
rough. Oh, no; most of the time
you would see the ball in a corner
with 4 or after it all on top oi
each other while the rest of the
players were playing horse on theii
respective opponents backs; in the
meantime that loyal bunch of bleach
