The BOROUGH COUNCIL HAS
INTERESTING SESSION
Burgess McCarty Instructed to Take
Up Matter of Removing Track
From Main and Park Street
Which Had Been Placed
There Several Years Ago
For an Electric Road.

The borough council met at the
regular monthly meeting on Thurs
day evening at the city hall and dis
cussed ways and means for running
the borough for another month.

Martin Caufield, president; John
Erk, secretary; ]. w. Penwarden,
treasurer; S. T. Ham, Thomas j.
Canivan, w. II. Kreitner, Chas. A.
McCarty, the borough solicitor, was
there by request of the council.
The meeting was a very interest
ing one; the members of the council
exhibited much concern to the con-
ditions existing in the borough and
endeavored to do all they could for
its welfare and for the safety and
welfare of the people of Honesdale.
Burgess McCarty was instructed to
take such steps as he deemed neces-
sary for the putting aside of the YER
dict rendered by the jury in the Men
ner case last week and which has
since been done. On Monday Judge

piled to the petition and ordered that
the testimony taken in the case be
transcribed and he also granted
rule to show cause why Judgment
should not be entered in favor of the
defendant, notwithstanding the YER
dict returned by the jury The rule
will be argued during the regular
June term of court. The action of
Judge Staples was expected by those
who had occasion to hear his charge
on the case to the jury.
Many matters we're discussed and
carried out and among them a reso-
luton was adopted to remove the
rocks from the street corners so as
to remove the liability of the bor-
ough from any accidents that might
occur.
A resolution was adopted that the
borough council make personal in
spection of every street, cross street,
walk and alley in the borough and
II any obstruction be found or if
there were any repairs to be made,
they should be done Immediately.
Mr.. McCarty was instructed to
take up the matter of removing the
tracks of the proposed electric rail-
way from Main street and Park
street from the borough.
A side walk was ordered put in on
the south side of Seventeenth street
between Main and East Extension
streets.
Fire plugs were ordered placed on
! Park street
Other business was transacted and
! bills paid.

MARRIED TO MAN ALREADY WED
Former Mrs. Skier Succeeds i'm Hav-
ing Her Marriage Annulled in
buffalo.

Benjamin Skier, who formerly con-
Quoted a store in the property now
occupied by the Hippodrome moving
picture house in Hawley, and who
later conducted moving picture
theatre in Port Jervis, got into
trouble in Buffalo as the result of too
much marriage, according to the Buff
falo Courier of last Sunday. AS stat
ed in the Courier article, Mr.. Skier
married Port Jervis widow with a
large family, though he has an undi-
vorced wife and a daughter living in
Russia. The article follows:
Mrs. Esther B. Skier, who before
her marriage to Benjamin Skier, pro-
prietor of a moving picture theatre
on Genesee street, was Mrs. Biers, a
widow living in Port Jervis, n. Y,
with her i've children, again is Mrs.
Biers. Justice Wheeler restored her
name to her yesterday in special term
supreme court, when he annulled her
marriage to Skier, on the ground that
the latter had another wife living
when he wooed and won the widow
in Port Jervis.
skier was operating a moving
picture show in Port Jervis when he
and Mrs. Biers met. The fact that
she had five children and a mother
dependent upon her did not deter the
persistent Mr.. Skier, who insisted
that they wed. He said he would
solve the question of providing for
the big family by acquiring a chain
of moving picture shows, and he
made a start by purchasing one in
Genesee street and another in Lack
aWanna.
80 last October, the widow, her
children and her mother arrived in
Buffalo, and a home was rented in
Allen street, near Elmwood avenue.
Skier and the widow hied themselves
to Fort Erie, Ont, and on October 6
were married. In a few weeks the
picture man, who had first posed as a
bachelor, confided that he had once
had a wife and his new spouse be-
came inquisitive.
after much urging, the husband
said that he had divorced her, but
when he said that a rabbi and not a
justice had granted the decree, his
new wife started on the war-path.
She engaged a lawyer and the latter
learned from Joseph Skier, merch-
ant in Hawley, that Benjamin had
married in Russia before coming to
this country, and that the wife and
a nine-year-old daughter were still
alive and residing in the Cars do
main.
when Skier learned of his wife's
action for an annullment of their
marriage, he left Buffalo and since
January II has been located in Chi
eago.
