AT a. M, we sent wireless to
the Olympic saying:
Make every endeayor to commune
cate with Titanic and advise posi-
ton. Reply New York
All during the morning We en-
deavored to get information from
Montreal and newspapers.
we sent another message to the
Olympic at 6 a. M, asking her to as
certain the damage to the Titanic
did you have any information by
that time from the Titanic?" Franklin
was asked.
None; absolutely none," he replied
emphatically
News at O'Clock.
About o'clock we got message
from Captain Haddock saying the
Carpathia was in attendance and had
picked up twenty of the Titanic's
boats filled with passengers Frank
lin continued.
I'VE told the public this information
and that these were rumors and moth
| ing authentic, except this one mes
sage from Captain Haddock'
Franklin declared he never talked
to Marconi or any of the operators OF
the Titanic or the CarpathIa.
/ Our whole effort" he said, was to
get in touch with the Carpathia and
| find out who was on board her. We
asked the Olympic to stand by her and
4 relay the messages"
! Franklin said that about three p
ni., he sent marconigram to the
Olympic for relaying to the Carpathia
as follows:
! do your utmost and ascertain
immediate disposition of Titanic's
passengers and where they will land
About G:27 to $50 p. m.,' he con-
tinued, "the following telegram was
handed to me at Broadway by Mr..
/ Toppin, assistant 10 the operator:
"'Carpathia reached Titanics posls
ton at daybreak. Found boats and
wreckage only of Titanic. About CTS
souls saved Carpathia returning to
Il New York
1T was signed Haddock, captain of
the Olympic
Immediately when that telegram
was received I was thunderstruck. It
took us few moments to get togeth-
!, err I telephoned to some of the d.
, rectors, including J. Pierpont Morgan.
Jr Then gave the news to the re-
! porters and Immediately there was not
, g reporter left in the room.
I'VE figured that the Olympic could
be at the wreck at nine o'clock, that
night, but she did not go there at ALL
THE first news that we got that Mr..
Ismay was saved on the Carpathia
was a message received shortly after
Captain Haddock's relay of the Car
pathia's message was received.

there was such serious loss Of life

NO PLACE LIKE HONEsDALE.

Rudolph Guth, who until recently
held the record for being the champ
ion rifle shot in the United States,
now living at Jeffersonville, n. Y,
together with Mr.. and Mrs. William
Duer, the latter being landlord of
the Mansion House, in that town,
motored to Honesdale on Thursday
last in the formers car. While here
they registered at the Allen House.
Mr.. Guth expressed himself as be-
ing highly elated with Honesdale
and stated to a friend here that he
had no idea that Honesdale was as
pretty place as it is. Mr.. Guth
thinks Honesdale would make an
ideal place for summer boarders,
stating it is much better adapted for
this kind of business. He spoke
very highly of the scenery and the
town, its wide streets, how nice ii
is laid out and many other compli-
mentary things. The town extends
an invitation to Mr.. Guth to come
often TO the Maple City. Come and
we will do thee good"

REIFLER & SONS INC.
WORKING FULL CAPACITY.

Reifler & Sons, Inc, acid manu-
facturers, w. G. Reitier, manager,
are working on full capacity, burn
ing about 27 cords of wood per day
or 5000 cords per year.
The product of this we'll known
plant is brought from Tanners Falls
to Honesdale by four teams. Only
one trip is made per day, which is
quite expensive when other methods
of transportation are considered. On
Monday Mr.. Connell, of Scranton,
representing the Alec Truck COM
pany, made a demonstration which
proved to Mr.. Reifier that it is less
expensive and great time saver in
conveying the product of the factory
to market. At one load the truck
carried as much as four teams do.
There were three tons of charcoal
brought down at one time, when two
tons of hard coal were carried back
The truck is two-ton capacity. Mr.
Refer claims that he wants about a
31a ton truck and contemplates
buying one soon.
The acid factory is running al
full capacity, there being from 80 tc
60 men employed, including wood
choppers, mill and factory hands.

SOME WORDS SOUND
ALIKE OVER PHONE.

Words, especially when conveyed
over a telephone, similarize them
selves with other words and in some
instances when reproduced in print
sound ridiculous. For instance,
The Citizen received telephone
message just before going to press
last Thursday afternoon stating C.
II. Dorflinger, Senator Walter Nc
Nichols and Judge A. T. Searle had
returned from trip to Matteawan,
n. Y, etc. The telephone made it
sound like sons Of Walter Nc
Nichols, the way it appeared in the
paper. If the words Senator" and
sons Of" are said one following the
other they will sound somewhat
similar.
and C, B and V, NJ and n and
other letters of the alphabet have a
similar sound, which oftentimes
makes it hard to understand over a
phone. In telephoning If a person
cannot make clear a certain letter a
good plan is to pronounce a word,
the first letter of which is the one
you might want to express. For in
stance T for ton, for cat, B for
boy and V for vat, etc.

FIREMEN's BALL AND CONCERT.

The members of Protection En-
gine Company No. 3 are making
plans to hold their annual ball and
concert in the State armory Friday
evening, October 18th.
The event promises to cap the eli
max of any other social function
every held by our gallant and vail
ant fire laddies. The committee in
charge are ardent workers and that
it will be a grand success is a fore
gone conclusion.
If you are called upon to support
the affair in any way, either by con-
tributions, eatables, or purchasing a
ticket, do it willingly, remembering
that the fire company is your best
friend when flames may be shooting
from your home. Be liberal and
help the boys all you can. They
are deserving of help and you will
never miss it. Every little bill
added to what you got, makes just a
little bit more" The more you give
the more you will receive is Biblical
logic.

ARIEL MAN SHOT
Homer Sandercock Accidentally
Shoots Himself in Arm at Peck's
Pond While Camping.

The second accidental shooting af-
fair, occurring at Peck's pond, Pike
county, happened last Thursday
when Homer Sandercock of Ariel was
shot in the arm while removing his
shot gun from a boat, having just re-
turned from shooting ducks. The
boys had broken camp and Sander
cock went to the boat to get the gun.
In some unaccountable manner it
was discharged, the contents enter
ing his arm at the wrist, travelled
through the fleshy part of the fore
arm, coming out at the elbow.
Sandercocks friends did not know
that he was injured until he called
his friends to bandage the arm.
Sandercock was taken to Hawley
and given temporary treatment and
later was motored to Scranton and
placed under the care Of DR.. Reed
Burns.
Homer is a son of John Sander
cock of Ariel. 1t is expected that
the arm will give him no serious
trouble as a special serum has been
administered, which undoubtedly will
ward off all danger.

A WAYNE BASS
FURNISHES BIG FEAST.

Ever since the fishing season open
ed Wayne county anglers have been

bass, lake leviathan that has gain
ed sea serpent fame in the wilds of
Wayne. Anglers on the way home
from a days fishing have met with
incredulous starts when they told
their friends of having seen the won

the Mears' building had hard work
convincing his friends that the bass
had made away with his steel rod,
line, sinker, bait and bobber one day
last week. Lured by the tales OF
the Bidwell bass scores of fishermen
from this county went into Wayne
to cast for the wonder but they AL
came back with nothing but stories
of its size.
Over at the Nash hotel on Adams
avenue last Friday night, the board

in to plentiful helping of fish. The
size of the back bone caused a learn
