GRAVITY WOMAN FOUND
PENNILESS IN THE WEST

Indianapolis, Oct. S.-Found wan
dering on the streets here early to-
day with her twelve-year-old daugh-
ter, Ruth, Mrs. Mary d. Brundage,
who said her home was at Gravity,
Pa, penniless and looking for her
husband, Daniel w. Brundage, was
taken in charge by the police until
her story can be investigated.
Mrs. Brundage said that she came
here a week ago Saturday to defend
herself in a divorce suit brought by
her husband, who she says left her
seven years ago.
On her arrival she went to visit
friends in Mooresville, who she
said refused to allow her to come
to Indianapolis Friday, the day set
Tor the trial. Without friends or
money she came here yesterday and
attempted to find her husband so
that she could get enough money to
return to Gravity. In the meantime
detectives had arrested Brundage
and he was held in the city prison,
charged with grand larceny and re-
ceiving stolen goods.
The police say they found a valu-
able picture in his room here which
was taken from downtown cafe.
Inc dlVorce proceedings were post
poned and Brundage will be tried
in police court tomorrow.
Mrs. Brundage left her home in
Gravity about a week ago according
to her neighbors but what her mis-
sion was she did not disclose. The
news that she had been found penni-
less was therefore a surprise. She
Is native Of Gravity and has lived
there most of her life being very
highly regarded by her neighbors.
Her husband did not enjoy the same
esteem when he resided at Gravity.

WHAT HONESDALE NEEDS
Electric Automatic Fire System
Paved Main Street-Expansion OF
thorough and a Trolley Road.

Living, growing and progressive
Honesdale is in the need of four
things, any one of which is import
ant to growing town, namely, a
good fire alarm system, an extension
Of the borough line, paved streets
and trolley car system. Action has
been taken upon paved Main street
and work is expected to take place
next spring.
The trolley road would be the
making of Honesdale. 1t would
bring people to town to trade, which
now go somewhere else or stay at
home. 1t would develop the agri-
cultural districts and give a metro
politan air to Honesdale. We need
the trolley road, and after we shall
have had it the townspeople will
wonder how it was that we did not
have 1t long ago.
We have a fire alarm system, but
many times people cannot tell what
district the fire is in whereas IL
an electric box system were installed
1t would tell the exact district and
people would not be left to wonder
where the fire might be. We are
not rapping our present fire system,
which is a good substitute, but how
much better and quicker an auto
matte fire alarm box system would
be. The fire would not be delayed
by the Interrogation from a fair
damsel who asks 'Is it absolutely
necessary to turn in the alarm" or
Are you sure there is a fire in that
vicinity?" 1t may be safe enough
to ask these questions owing to the
number of false alarms sent in, but
in an automatic electric system
different system prevails. Homes
dale will come to it some day, why
not prepare for an automatic fire
alarm system now?
In order that Honesdale may
grow and thrive it is also necessary
that the town expand, in other words
Greater Honesdale is an inevitable
necessity. Before a town can grow
in the proper sense it must have a
place to grow. There is ample space
in Texas township for Honesdale to
branch out. In view of the fact
that many residents in different
parts of Texas township have petit
toned the town council expressing
desire to become annexed to
Honesdale, this is direct proof that
what is best for few would be bet
ter for all. Greater Honesdale has
been agitated several times but it
seems that there is no better time
for people living in Texas township
to enjoy the privileges of Homes
dale than now. 1t is only a ques-
ton of short time before Texas
township will have to build new
school houses, 1t would therefore be
less expensive to send pupils to the
Honesdale High school, which is un-
equalled as an institution of learn
ing in this section of the country.

so MEN ON ELEVATOR SITE
Grading for Siding from Main Line
of ID. ~ IL. to Factory-Laborer
Caught in Fall of Earth
Brick Laying Commenced.

The F. A. Havens' company have
so laborers and skilled mechanics at
work on the site of the Gurney Elec-
trio Elevator company proposed fac
tory.
Several teams and men with scrap
ers are grading portion of the BERN
bank of the old Delaware and Hud-
son Canal preparatory to laying a
siding or switch from the main track
OF the ID. & H. road in an easterly di-
rection toward the factory. 1t is the
purpose OF the company to convey the
material into the building over the
switch, thereby saving unnecessary
handling OF the steel.
A large portable derrick has been
erected preparatory for placing the
structural steel, which is expected
any day.
Brick laying was commenced
Wednesday on the western part Of
the building.
The footings for the fundation are
nearly all excavated and same are
now being filled with concrete, which
serve as columns to support the
building.
While digging one of these foot
ings a young man nearly became suf-
focated by cave in, which occurred
few days ago. He was rescued by
fellow workmen and was apparently
none the worse for his experience.
The structural operations upon the
grounds are tied up on account Of no
material. The non-arrival of the
steel may cause delay in the COM
pletion of the building in the sched-
uled time of 1870 days. But when it
does arrive the work will be pushed
as rapidly as possible.

are furnishing the cracked stone for

MILKMAN E. H. BLAKE SAVES
WOMAN'S LIFE
Mrs. Anna Emmons Asleep in Home
Which Was Being Consumed by
Ere-EffOrts of MIR. Blake
and John Clemo Saved the
Building

While returning from Odd Fell
lows lodge last Monday evening
about II o'clock, Ed H. Blake, of
Beech Grove, saw a light ahead of
him which appeared like an auto ap-
preaching him. AS he got nearer to
the light it proved to be a house
that was fast being consumed by
great tongues OF fire. Mr.. Blake
whipped up his horses and was soon
upon the scene. Knowing that Mrs.
Anna Emmons lived in the partly de-
lapidated house, Mr.. Blake's first
thought was for her safety. He sue
ceeded in arousing her and getting
her out of the building. The wind
was blowing strongly but Mr.. Blake
determined to save Mrs. Emmons'
home If he possibly could do so. He
secured water and with the aid of
Mrs. Emmons had the building partly
under control when John Clemo, a
neighbor, seeing the reflection of the
fire, arrived. Mr.. Blake and Mr..
Clemo worked valiantly and succeed
ed in quenching the flames before
the entire house was consumed.
The fire was at the rear of the
house and burned perpendicularly
from the ground to the gable. There
were no signs of any chips or kind
ling at the base of the building. The
origin of the fire is unknown. Had
it not been for the timely arrival OF
Mr.. Blake, Mrs. Emmons undoubted-
ly would have been burned TO
death.

WAYNE COUNTY MAN KILLED
BY WAGON
Jacob TheobOld Dead as Result of
Being Crushed Under Wheel of
Brick Wagon i'm Scranton.

Jacob Theobold, of South Canaan,
was almost instantly killed about
one o'clock Tuesday afternoon in
Scranton, when he was jolted from a
brick wagon on which he was riding
at Mulberry street and Adams Ave
nue.. He was forty-siX years old.
When the man fell from the wagon
he rolled underneath and one
OF the wheels passed over his head
The driver, Michael Bohan, was also
thrown from the wagon and landed
against the curb, breaking his left
wrist. AS explained by the driver,
the accident happened when he
tried to avoid being struck by a
street car, and in turning out OF the
way his wagon struck a fire plug on
the street corner, throwing both men
out on the pavement. The team did
not attempt to run away but stopped
within a block OF the accident.
The wagon and team are the
property of J. j. Coyne OF Minooka,
and bricks were being hauled from
the Standard brewery to Minooka,
where Mr.. Coyne is building a num-
Der of dwelling houses. Mr.. Theo-
bold was a laborer employed by Mr..
OF bricks on the wagon at the time
OF the accident.
Andrew Horn, of Dunmore, was
passing in his automobile at the
time and after the accident hustled
Theobold to the State Hospital where
he died five minutes after being ad-
mitted. Bohan was also treated at
the hospital. 1t was several hours
before the body of Mr.. Theobold was
identified. A niece of the dead man
happened to be in the city shopping
and hearing OF the accident made in
quiries and was directed to Cusick's
morgue, where she identified the
body.
Mr.. Theobold is survived by his
wife and several sisters, all of South
Canaan. The body was taken to his
late homo on Wednesday where bur
ial will take place.

BIGELOw HOMESTEAD BURNS.
Fire Starting From Spark From
Wood Stove, Causes $1,000 Loss
to Niagara Man.

Fire, which destroyed the old
Bigelow homestead at Niagara, few
miles from Pleasant Mount, broke
out about l o'clock Tuesday night
and before it was discovered it had
gained such start that to put 1t out
was next to impossible, owing to the
lack of fire-fghting apparatus in Nj
agara although a bucket brigade.
which did good work, was soon form
ed. The house burnt to the ground
and together with all the household
furniture including 800 in cash
which was in the house at the time.
The house was owned by Clarence
Bigelow and was occupied by him
and Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson Bigelow and
daughter and several hired men, all
OF whom were able to escape. 1t is
supposed that the fire started from a
spark which fell from wood stove,
which had been burning in the sitting
room of the house as the fire started
in this room. Mrs. Nelson Bigelow
was awakened by the smell of smoke
in her room on an upper floor but
before they could get out of the
house, the fire had cut off access
from the stairs. Clarence Bigelow
who was sleeping below, was awaken
ed by the noise above, and realizing
the danger to those upstairs, got out
of the house and placed a ladder to
the window above and in this way the
family were brought to safety. 1t
was only short time before the
whole building was mass of
smouldering ruins. Mr.. Bigelow
was protected by insurance to the
amount Of $1,000 but his loss will
reach $4,000 more.

Since the erection of Honesdale's

the antiquainted school building
was standing. The light, heat and

stronger and are now better uuali-
