HORSE RACING At TYLER HILL.

In the dead of winter, with old
Mercury hugging zero mark, some
of the sporting populace of Damas-
Gus township journeyed to Laurel
Lake on Friday last to witness a
horse race on that popular body OF
water. It is not the first time that
trots were pulled off at that place
and those who attended knew some
thing good was in store for them, as
it was whispered over the phone
(and of course every farmers son
heard it) that Ed. Dermody's little
sorrel would race that day.
DR.. George Cade entered his steed,
but Dermody's sorrel easily won first
honor, according to our correspond
ent.
Other meets, it is claimed, will
follow before the ice breaks on the
lake. Considerable interest is mani
tested and some records made last
Friday may be hard to beat at the
coming Wayne county fair.

REV. H. T. PURKISS EXPLAINS
TELLS OF HIS MISFORTUNE IN A
LETTER TO A CITIZEN REPRE-
SENTATIVE,

(From our Arlington Correspondent
In letter recently received from
the Rev. H. T. Purkiss, who had some
hard luck in England, an explanation
is made for his absence. In part the
letter reads as follows:

FIRE AT WAYMART.

The tenement house of d. w.
Griffith, Carbondale, was destroyed
by fire at $50 Wednesday night.
The building was rented to John
O'Hea, but the family was not home
when the fire occurred, being at a
neighbor's. Mr.. O'Hea claims that
he was away from the house about
an hour. When asked by a Citizen
representative If he had a idea as to
how the fire caught, he replied that
he thought from the stove pipe be-
tween the partition. He states that
the pipe passed the partition, across
hall and from thence into chin
ney.
Mr.. OHea arrived shortly after
the fire had broken out, having been
called by phone from a neighbor's s
that his home was burning. The
townspeople saved some OF the fur
niture, but Mr.. O'Hea says his loss
is S275. He carried insurance to
the amount OF $500 on his effects.

LOOK OUT FOR THE FAKIRS
CHECK-RAISERS OPERATING IN
LACKAWANNA VALLEY MAY
COME HONESDALE WAVELET
TER OF WARNING SENT OUT.

The Scranton banks have been
notified that checkraisers are operat-
ing in that city and vicinity. A let
ter from the Protective department
OF the American Bankers Association
has been sent to banks warning them
against this method of illegal means
OF obtaining money.
The letter reads:
This agency is informed that
check raisers have been reported as
operating in your section, swindling
business men by raising the
amounts on their genuine checks.
Therefore, we are sending this
notice to banks and business men be-
cause it is often difficult to appre-
hend forgers of this class unless
their operations are reported when
first discovered by the signer of the
manipulated check 1t is suggested
that bank depositors make 1t a rule
to check up their pass books as often
as possible, and use all due precau-
tions to discover such alterations, If
any, while there is still time to OBJ
tain evidence.
Care in writing amounts is rec
ommended, as well as the employ
ment of device that stamps a limit
ing amount across the check, such
as is generally used by the banks,
and that every check, no matter to
whom Issued, should be properly
stamped with the same.
This warning applies to practical
ly all the business concerns that is
sue cAecks, since it is our experience
that check raisers manage to get
possession of genuine checks in the
most unexpected ways, and the loss
often falls on the signer rather than
on the bank"

Since the Delaware and Hudson
Railroad company removed one of
Honesdale's freight trains, reducing
the service from four to two trains
daily, there has been general dissat-
isfaction among the shippers and re-
ceivers of freight in Honesdale and
adjoining districts. The Business
Mems association and Board of Trade
have appointed committees to await
upon the officials for the purpose of
having the former service restored If
possible. Although no definite or
positive answer was ever made or
given the committee, 1t is understood
that those in charge of operating the
trains are contemplating some
change in the running of the freight
trains on the Honesdale branch of
the d. & H. railroad
1t is true, and the company admit
it to a certain extent, that it costs
more now to operate their trains from
Carbondale to Farview than it did
when only one crew made the four
trips daily. Aside from the regular
freight engine, from one to two
larger type locomotives are required
to push the Honesdale freight up the
Moosic mountain from Carbondale
almost everyday. Sometimes it is
necessary to go back and bring a
second installment of cars before the
train can come eastward from Far
view.
Aside from extra pushers up the
mountain, two large type engines
have been coming to Honesdale
every Sunday morning for several
months to take to Carbondale the
weeks collection of empty coal and
freight cars. The trains average
about 40 cars; sometimes they are
less and then again more. The
Honesdale freight, hauling anywhere
from ten to nineteen cars, daily, has
all il can handle to take care of the
local business without taking empty
dumps. These cars collect in the
Erie yard and are the d. & H. roll
ing stock, the Erie delivering them
to the d. & H. at this place.
Two additional trains on the
He esdale branch would mean more
b ,lness for the D. & H. and other
railroad companies soliciting freight
from Honesdale. If the D. & H. has
anything good up its sleeve now is
the time to try it out before the
spring schedule goes into effect.
The Honesdale outgoing freight
has grown rapidly during the past
few years, or from about eight cars
to eighteen daily The local mer-
chants and and manufacturers are
deserving of four freight trains a
day upon this road and they should
get it.
1t is rumored that there is a pos
sibility of running through freight
from Scranton to Honesdale, return
ing in the evening or late afternoon
and that the train that is now be-
ing operated from Carbondale to
Honesdale will start from Honesdale,
go to Scranton and return to Homes
dale the same night. If this were
possible the Honesdale shippers
would be satisfied. 1t is hoped that
such might be the case.
Another good feature connected
with the above rumored proposition
would be that while the Scranton
crew was here 1t could serve as a
yard engine to place cars. re-
ceiver of freight could then have his
car switched when he wanted it with
less inconvenience. 1t would also
do away with maintaining a switch
engine and crew, an item of seeming
expense, argued by the company.
