prietor of the Seelyville Hotel, was
injured by an explosion on Monday
day morning. Myers and a helper,
Walter Som, were cleaning the
acetylene gas making machine. Mr..
Myers released the carbonator and
took it from the shed near the hotel
to the side street, just outside. He
could not see clearly what was the
matter with that part of the ma
chine so he struck match and held
the ignited match to the gas tank.
Immediately there occurred an ex-
plosion that shook the small village
of Seelyville and the report was
heard in Honesdale, the accident
happening about 1 o'clock Houses
trembled, window panes were brok-
en- and the badly frightened people
ran out of their homes to see what
was the matter. Mr.. Myers was
thrown to the ground by the explos-
ion. He received a compound frac-
ture of the right arm and his body
was more or less bruised by the ex-
plosion. Mr.. Som was thrown
about ten feet from where he was
standing. His arms were badly
scratched, The force of the explo-
sion made large hole in the earth.
DR.. Ely was called and treated Mr.,
Myers injuries.
The following complimentary
notice appeared in Wednesdays Har-
risburg Telegraph: Father Penn has
the rest of the heads of the various
States in the Union beaten some
miles in the matter of revenue rails
ing. The Pennsylvania treasury
balance is known all over the coun-
try and the fact that this State could
build a $1S,000,000 Capitol and
carry on all its great projects and
yet have money in the bank is one
OF the wonders in governmental
circles. The States system has been
turned around, placed on its head,
held to the light, X-rayed, probed,
plumbed and pried into by experts
from every state in the Union and
the Canadian provinces, all anxious
to see how to do it without any State
tax on land. When Pennsylvania
men get up to speak at tax confer
ences they are accorded the entire
fioor-all want to hear all about it.
Now it happens that among the tax
experts up on the Hill is one N. E.
Hause. Mr.. Hause comes from
Wayne county and is chief clerk of
the Auditor General and thinks tax
alton problems everyway but out
loud. He is one of the leading ad-
justors of different propositions and
so we'll is he thought of in the Con-
crosses of the experts on taxation
that he has been invited to read a
paper at the national tax conference
next year. This is the real blue rib
bon organization because it is made
up of the big State officials of the
States and the United States and its
deliberations bring forth many mat
ters which affect millions of people.
Mr.. Hause will discuss PENNSYLVANIA
