Philip Shelley, Lakeville, who had
his arm crushed by being caught in

the injured arm amputated near the

East Hawley, went to the Electric
City. for a brief visit to-day.
Monday evening an electric wire
broke and fell onto the sidewalk on
Church street between the Geisler
and Ames residence, causing great
CONSERVATION for short time. There
was the sound of an explosion and
terrifying display of electricity. 1t
was carefully guarded until an cleo
trician could be summoned.
From all directions one can see
men with new dinner pals and axes
over their shoulders bound for Will
sonville to work on the lumber lot for
the Paupack Power Co. Mr.. Healey

is entertaining a lady friend from
{he county seat.

Newfoundland, are doing business in

After long agitation in regard to
a strike for more pay the matter
came to focus on Saturday at the
T. b. Clark glass works when the
workmen made their demands to the
manager, Mr. Osborne, for an in
crease of $6 a dozen on bowls which
we understand had been cut down
that amount recently by the mana
ger. The men were promised re-
ply On Monday at 8 o'clock. When
they went to work Monday morning
they found the building locked. Since
then it has been learned that r. B.
Clark &, Co. have been negotiating
with the Paupack Power Co. for the
sale of the plant. This, it is claimed,
is one reason for the shutdown.
William H. Quinn received a very
encouraging letter from his daugh-

teacher for Miss Westbrook while she
enjoyed the leave of absence granted

The High school graduates this
spring-seven in number--will visit
Washington, ID. c., and other points
of interest. They are falling in line
with other High schools that right
fully think this procedure more ad-
vantageous and instructive than the
graduating exercises which will soon
be thing of the past. The class
with the help of the school, will en-.
deavor to raise the needed amount OF
money to defray the expense of this
trip. The directors should donate
some of this amount which is certain
ly nothing more than fair.
Mrs. Henry Stone, who has beer
making an extended visit at VIII
Transport, returned home on Monday
Her husband will be home mex

Of promoting power by damming thu
Paupack river is nothing new. II
1880 a capitalist from New York city
came to his hotel for the purpose o
making an Investigation of this not
ed stream and its wonderful falls
Mr. Reatier accompanied him up thu
stream and they made quite
thorough Investigation. Everythin,
seemed favorable even at that tim,
for something doing. The man re
turned to the city and in course O
time returned to Hawley and mad
an effort to secure control of SOM
portion of the stream but utterl,
failed in securing this, so the schem
was abandoned.
Thomas Burke, Scranton, was il
