LOCAL NEWS

The tenth anniversary of the
flood in Honesdale occurred on We'd
|nesday, February 2S.
The oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
&c. Stiles of Aldenville had the mis-
fortune on Saturday last to fall and
receive a broken arm. DR.. Noble
gave the case careful attention.
1t would be well just now for
Mr.. Roosevelt to recall the warning
of old Simon Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania: My boy, walk a hundred
miles if necessary to tell your con-
|fdences, but never write"
Report has it that George G.
Johnston, son-in-law of the late Con-
|gressman Kipp, is to be the Key
|stone-Democratic candidate for state
Senator in the BradfordSusquehan-
Wyoming-Wayne district.
B. F. Conrad, the fur dealer, re-
| ports that he has bought about 5000
Iskins since the opening of the season
| last November. Among the lot are
about 1,200 muskrat, 1000 skunk,
$50 mink and 40 fox skins. Perfect
! |ly black skunk skins are much
sought after and bring SO or more,
according to size and beauty

The condition of the Susquehan-
/ ma river in front of Columbia, Pa. is
livery alarming and more so now than
when the ice first broke up. The ice
gorge now extends from McCalls
Ferry northward to a point above
columbia, distance of about eigh-
1een miles. The movement of the
Zee is not noticeable to the eye and
lit is packed so tight that very little
water is going through, and the back
water has caused the stream to rise
to height of almost eight feet above
low water The gorge is extending
daily.
The death of Ambrose Griffin in
Lenoxyille recently removed from
this party of the country another
member of the first settler families.
He was sixty-tiye years of age and
had been i'll for a period of twelve
days. He is survived by his wife and
three daughters. He was born in
North Scranton and lived there near
i ly all his life. His grandfather,
/ Joshua Griffin, was one of the first
settlers in the Lackawanna valley
and came there from Connecticut in
cart drawn by a yoke of oxen.
That was one hundred and twenty
five years ago.
John Rickert, proprietor of
Ricketts, Clothing store, which now
occupies rooms in the Foster build
/ ing on Main street, will move into
/ the building owned by DR.. r. w.
4 Brady, formerly the Nickelette, on
Main street. DR.. Brady is having the
building remodeled and when 1t is
4 finished it will be one of the most up
to-date business places in Honesdale
! Mr.. Rickert states that he is leaving
his present location because his
. growing business demands larger
room. He will move into the new
quarters as soon as they are ready
which will be in about a month.

Scouts in CarbOndale.

A delegation, composed of about
ten boy scouts from Honesdale, went
to Carbondale on Wednesday to at
tend the opening of the rooms in the
basement of the Baptist church in
that city, for boy scouts. Tue
rooms contain lockers, tables and
many other articles while the kitch-
en- contain stove, dishes, and all
other articles necessary for boy
scouts.
The congregation of the Baptist
church recently expended about
$4,000 on church improvements and
among other things they fitted up
these rooms, to encourage the work
of boy scouts in Carbondale, in the
basement of the church. The money
expended there shows that the peo-
pie of that church appreciate the
good work of the boy scouts. Talks
were given by various members of
the troup on Scouting, and
music was furnished by the choir
of the church. After the program
an excellent lunch was served. The
Honesdale boys had a very good
time and came home Thursday
morning. There were about 60 boy
scouts present at the opening
Those present from Honesdale were:
Ray Dibble, Kenith Uglow, Carl Bull
lock, John Reiher, Walter Robin
son, Robert Heft, Vincent Carroll,
Krietner, and Joe Jenkins.
The boy scouts have been invited
to be present at the evening SER
vice at the Grace Episcopal church
on Sunday evening to hear a sermon
for boys by Rev. A. l.. Whitaker.

More About the Late Mrs. II. G. Me-
nprmott

DermOtt,
Brief mention of the death of Mrs.
H. c. McDermott, of West Pittston,
was made in the last issue of The
Citizen. We herewith reproduce an
article taken from the Pittston Ca
zette, which will be of inerest to
many of our readers:
Much sorrow was manifested
among West Pittston people to-day
when news came of the death of Mrs.
Estelle McDermott, beloved wife oil
Rev. DR.. Hugh c. McDermott, super
intendent of the Wilkes-Barre districL
of the Wyoming Methodist Episcopal
conference, who passed away early
Tuesday morning at the family home
in Kingston. Although Mrs. McDer-
mott had been in failing health for a
couple of years, the untimely end of
her useful life came very suddenly.
She had been under treatment at
Clifton Springs, n. Y. for many
weeks, but returned home apparently
much improved in health, and dur
ing recent weeks her condition was
such as to give the members of her
family much encouragement. A few
days ago she was again stricken and
on Sunday morning she became
such as to cause great alarm. About
four o'clock Tuesday morning a sud-
den collapse came and within a short
time she breathed her last. 1t is be-
lieved that the immediate cause of
death was heart failure.
Mrs. McDermott was about 60
years of age. She was native of
Sheshequin, Bradford county, Pa,
her maiden name having been Estelle
l.. Gillette. She was a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jerome Gillette. On
April 81, 1874, she was married to
Rev. Dr McDermott. During the two
years that her husband was pastor 81
the West Pittston Methodist Episco-
pal church many of our people be-
came intimately acquainted with her
and learned to esteem her for her
womanly graces and her devoted
Christian life.
Besides her husband, she is sur
vived by two daughters and two sons:
Mrs. Ethel Oliver, who resided with
her parents; Miss Ada McDermott, a
teacher in the New York City
schools; Hugh McDermott, of Schen-
ectady, and Bruce McDermott, of
Niagara Falls.
The funeral was held on Wednes-
day afternoon. Services in the
Kingston NJ. E. church at o'clock
lnterment was made in Oaklawn
cemetery.
