The increase of shipments of ore
from this camp for the month of July
this year over that Of last year shows
its augmented activity in mining. Last
month there were Ill cars billed out
while in July 1910 there were "a cars
hipped. While this increased output
is encouraging yet the added activity
in development work in the increased
facilities for opening up old mines and
prospects, in the number of such that
are being thus resumed, in the modern
processes that are being Installed to
insure moro economical and profitable
treatment and in all lines of mining in
dustry. There is no reason for anything
but the NEST buoyant feeling on the
part of our citizens. The reflex of
these favorable conditions will soon be
felt in all avenues, trade and profess
sion.

A serious runaway occurred Tues
day shortly after noon when Men
ner G. Co.'S store team became
frightened by one of the horses
jumping over trace.
Joseph Menner, the driver, was in
the delivery wagon and made an ex-
ira effort to stop the team. The
horses started just after he had en-
tered the home of Stuart Lincoln
Mr.. Menner realized that the team
was getting the better of him and in
endeavoring to check their speed
headed them for the hill at the in
tersection of Spring street, he being
on Fifteenth street.
EyeWitnesSes said all was we'll un-
til the team struck the water bar
from Fifteenth street to West street
AS the wagon went down into an
eighteen inch gulley, Mr.. Menner was
thrown from the seat of the Wagon
to the ground, the rim of the right
rear wheel coming off at the same
instant. Mr.. Menner clung to the
reins and was dragged the width o1
West street, where the wagon tipped
over pinning Mr.. Menner under.
meath. All but three spokes were
broken out of the wheel, which caus.
ed the wagon to fall. A mortar box
which was standing along the road
was struck and demolished. The
horses stopped and after freeing
themselves from the wagon, wen
home.
Mr.. Menner was removed to the
home of Hon. Leopold Fuerth, after
wards being taken to his own home
on East Street Extension. DR.. F. w
Powell was called and reported that
Mr.. Menner was suffering from {
compound dislocation of the right
shoulder and that the ligaments were
also badly torn. Mr.. Menner's legs
were also bruised. He was removed
to the State hospital, Scranton

The Lake Lodore improvement Com
pany asked for a new trial, which
Judge Stewart refused in an elabor-
ate opinion, in which he affirmed
every contention made by Mr.. Whit
ney's attorneys.
No case has been tried in Homes
dale in years, in which so many peo-
pie were interested, as nearly the
whole town was affected at the time
by the failure of Mr.. Whitney to
supply ice to his customers, and no
doubt the decision of the Supreme
Court will receive the hearty approv-
al of such people.
The amount given to Mr.. Whitney
by the jury, was undoubtedly reach
ed on the basis of the difference be-
tween S1.00 a ton, the amount nam
ed in the agreement, and $3.50, the
price charged for ice during that sea-
son, being $3.50 on 1900 tons, the
amount which Mr.. Whitney was
obliged to take from the Lake Lo-
dore improvement Company that
year, which amount would be S3,250
the amount rendered by the jury.

ITALIAN LABORER COMMITS
SUICIDE.

August Galluzzi, an Italian en-
ployed by the Mcdonald Construc-
tion company in making improve
ments on the Ontario & Western
railroad, committed suicide on July
4 by shooting himself with a SS
calibre revolver. In the absence of
Coroner P. B. Petersen, Honesdale,
James Hoag, Buckingham, justice,
was called and held an inquisition
over the body He claims that when
he found Galluzzi he was lying on his
back and near him was a 3S-calibre
revolver, showing evidence that he
had shot himself. A bullet wound
on the right side of the head behind
the ear told the tale. Henry Brown,
concrete mixer, and Edward Doolit-
tie, watchman, heard a shot and
looking in the direction, saw the
young Italian fall. From what
could be learned from Americans
and Italians there existed no trouble
between them. There is no evidence
of suspicion directed towards any
person that he had been shot by any
one other than himself.

HOneSdale Man Found
Unconscious Near TOrrey
Spring
JERIMIAH LENIHAN FELL IN
THE DARK; LEFT LEG
INJURED,

Jerimiah Lenihan was found lying
in a semi-conscious condition near
Torrey spring Saturday night. He
had been to Lodore, where he went
to secure employment. Being told
that the last evening train would
not stop at Lodore except on signal,
he attempted to walk home. At
Waymart he secured ride to Seely-
vile on a cattle wagon and from
Seelyville to Honesdale he walked.
Wishing to quench his thirst, Mr..
Lenihan endeavored to get a drink
from the Torrey spring. Not being
acquainted with the surroundings, it
being very dark, he fell and his fore
head struck the ground. Mr.. Leni-
hans groans attracted the attention
of young men and women returning
to their homes. One bathed his head
with her handkerchief and it is
claimed removed a small stone from
the forehead. After the removal OF
the stone Mr.. Lenihan told the good
Samaritans that he felt better and
thought he could walk home, but
when he attempted to stand it was
discovered that he had met with 9TH
er injuries. His left leg was badly
bruised and it was impossible for
him to stand. The parties left Mr.
Lenihan in as comfortable condition
as possible and then telephoned for
help, calling Officers Levi Degroat
and n. B. Spencer. They removed
the injured man to DR.. w. T. Nc
Convill's Office where the wounds
were dressed and later Mr.. Lenihan
was taken to his home on Ridge
street. Outside of the cut on his
forehead, Mr.. Lenihan's left leg is
swollen twice it's ordinary size, from
the ankle to the knee, and is in a
very bad condition. DR.. McConvill
who is attending him, told a Citizen
man that there is no dislocation OF
the hip, but that Mr.. Lenihan's in.
