FIRST ACCIDENT IN IL YEARS.

Charles Lord, conductor of the
Honesdale passenger train on the
Erie railroad, received his first in
jury Saturday after a career of AZ
years on the road. This is a re-
markable record and speaks in
marked degree of the carefulness of
Conductor Lord.
Mr.. Lord was standing in the
doorway of one of the coaches on his
train at Parker's Glen, waiting for
the train to stop. His right hand
was resting on the casing of the
door. AS the train stopped, caused
by the sudden application of the air
brakes, it released the foot-catch and
the heavy door jammed shut on
Mr.. Lords ring finger of his right
hand, cutting off the top of the
finger. 1t bled profusely and upon
his arrival in Honesdale Conductor
Lord went to DR.. f. w. Powell's
where the digit was given attention.
Mr. Lord was planning to take a
few days vacation, intending to lay
off Saturday. He is taking a vaca-
tion now, but one of considerable
pain accompanied by great incon-
venienCe.
Conductor Ivy, of Port Jervis, has
charge of Mr.. Lords train, which
will probably be for the remainder
of the month.

lowed for material changes to occur
in the section covered by the pub
lication. Never before in the history

Crop of Potatoes in Bloom.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Gibbs,
Mrs Lewis, of this place, and Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Erhardt, of Girdland,
returned from their southern trip
to Richmond, Va, on Sunday, cover
ing about ESQ miles. Mr.. Gibbs had
only two punctures during the trip.
The outing was a pleasant one
and was greatly enjoyed by the party
all standing the journey remarkably
well. owing to rain and heavy roads
Mr.. Gibbs was unable to go any
farther than Washington, d. c. He
left his car at the Capital City and
continued the remainder of the jour
ney south via trolley.
Between Washington and Mount
Vernon the second crop of potatoes
were in bloom. The first crop was
planted in March, when Wayne coun-
ty farmers are in the throes of win
ter. Enroute several acres OF to-
bacco plants were growing.
Mr.. Gibbs forded streams four
different times, besides crossing
ferries. After leaving one ferry the
auto ran into mud up to the run
ming board, but it managed to
plough through the furrow. AS
whole it was a very interesting and
picturesque trip, one that can be
easily covered in a week. Mr..
Gibbs party was absent eight days.
They were highly elated over their
outing and their many Honesdale
friends will be pleased to learn that
they met with no accident either

SERVICES FOR DAY OF ATONE
MEAT "A
"Yom Ripper" Celebrated at Beth
Israel Saturday-Is Holiest Day in
Jewish Year.

With the appearance of. the first
stars in the heavens last Friday
evening, the day holiest to the Jew
in his entire religious career, was
ushered in. From that hour until
the evening of Saturday, the devout
Israelite surrendered himself entire
ly to God and to the purifying of his
soul by repentance.
"Yom Kipper," the Day of Atone
ment, was celebrated at the Homes
dale synagogue Beth Israel, special
services on Saturday morning and af-
ternoon. Henry Freund conducted
the services. The musical part of
the service was in charge of Miss
jeanette Freeman, organist, assist
ed by Miss Marguerite Eberhardt,
Mrs. c. NJ. Harris, Joseph Rubin, and
William Schloss vocalist, Frank Dup
pis, cello, and Jefferson Freeman,
violin.
The day is mentioned in the Bible
several times. In the Tolmud, there
is a picture of the Day of Awe as it
was celebrated in Biblical times.
The holy day on the tenth day OF
Tishri was observed by abstinence
from food and drink, and by elabor-
ate ceremonial in (which the high
priest was the central figure. He
besought forgiveness for his own sins
and those of his own household, then
for those of the wider household OF
priests, then for all the people
From this Biblical ceremonial which
| throughout seeks forgiveness of the
community as a whole, the Day oi
Atonement has been somewhat
changed in Rabbinic Judaism, and
in the modern service.
1t emphasizes also repentance and
personal prayer for forgiveness oi
each SHINING soul. 1t completes the
penitential period of ten days that
had begun with Rosh Hashonah, oil
New Years Day.

FIVE CARB0NDALE DOCTORS
ARRESTED
Physicians Charged With Failure to
Make Proper Report of Small
pOX CaseS-ACtion Taken
BN State.

Five Carbondale physicians were
arrested Friday and given hearings
before Alderman James w. Camp
bell last Thursday evening on
charges preferred by C. w. Web
bert, the legal adviser of the state
department of health. The physi-
clans arrested and tried are: DR.. j.
j. Thompson, DR.. j. A. Kelly, both
of whom were members of the old
board of health; DR.. j. S. Niles, DR..
F. c. Leonard and DR.. w. S. John
son. The specific charge against the
physicians is that they failed to
make written reports to the board of
health on cases of smallpox which
they had diagnosed The arrests
were made under the provisions of
an act approved May IA, 1909,
which provides that physicians shall
forthwith make written reports of
cases diagnosed as smallpox. All of
the physicians plead guilty to the
charge against them and were fined
$40 and costs, the minimum pen
atty.
1t seems that the physicians in
question had made verbal reports of
the cases diagnosed by them to eth
er DR.. K. T. Robinson, who is en-
city OF Carbondale, or to the sani-
tary officer, Michael Gallagher, and
then failed to make a written re-
port over their own signature, as
the law requires. 1t is understood
that at least one and maybe several
more physicians are to be arrested
on similar charges.
The arrests Friday were made by
order of DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, COM
missioner of health, and is the first
legal move that has been taken rela-
| tive to the smallpox epidemic at
Carbondale. Representing the
state at the hearing before Alder
| man Campbell, were Attorney c. w.
| Webbert, of Harrisburg, and Attor-
ney f. c. Amerman, of Scranton.
None OF the defendants was repre-
sented by council.
No new cases of smallpox were
reported from Carbondale. DR.. c.
j. Hunt, who is in charge for the
state at Carbondale, stated that the
epidemic is now well under control
and is hopeful that no large num-
Der of cases will develop from now
on. The work of his medical inspec-
tors is nearing completion, and
there was only one suspicious case
to be investigated last Saturday
DR.. William F. Bennett of Scranton
was added to the force of medical in
spectors to help expedite the work
of investigating. This work has
been carried on very rapidly, ac-
cording to DR.. Hunt, who states that
in three days two of his assistants
had made an inspection of nearly
seven hundred people. 1t is the pol.
icy of the state board to make a
personal inspection of all people re,
siding within a radius of two blocks
of quarantined house looking fol
symptoms of the disease. This
work is now nearing completion, and
no fresh outbreak of the disease is
looked for.

HAWLEY PRISONER HANGS
HIMSELF IN HIS CELL.

Using his suspenders for moose,
Fred Steinoff, whose home is un-
known, hanged himself in the jail at
Hawley Thursday afternoon about 3
o'clock. He was dead when his body
was discovered.
Steinhoff had only been in Hawley
a few days and was employed by the
Hawley Coal company. That night
he commenced acting queerly in the
street and the authorities, believing
him to be insane, placed him under
arrest until such time as he could be
examined. When they went to his
cell they found him dead. He had
tied his suspenders to the top bars
of the cell and around his throat and
then stepped off of chair, strang-
ling to death.

AGED MAN FOUND DEAD IN BED
Was Dead Several Hours When
Found--Companion is Revived
After Struggle-EsCap
ing Gas Tells Story.

Henry johnson, of Mauch Chunk,
was found dead in bed in a room
over the Christopher Lowe restaur-
ant at 55S Main street about
o'clock this morning. His compan-
ion for the night, James Baird, was
lying by his side unconscious, hav-
ing been overcome by escaping gas
from the gas jet in their room.
Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Baird came
to Honesdale to attend the funeral
of the late Mrs. William j. Lane
which was held yesterday and they
decided to stay at loves during the
night. They, and a number of their
friends were in LOVES restaurant
during the evening and it is said
that the two men retired to their
room about eight o'clock. Mr..
Baird. who is a conductor on the
Erie, on the Port Jervis branch, and
living at Port Jervis, expressed the
wish to his landlord that he should
call them at o'clock so that he
could take the 7:17 a. m. train for
. home. This morning the family
were aroused by the fumes of gas.
Mrs Lowe went to the room occu-
pied by the two men and raped on
the door to arouse them. She failed
to get an answer from within and
tried the door which was unlocked.
On opening the door the fumes were
so strong that she was obliged to
turn back. When it had somewhat
cleared away she went to the bed
and shook the men, but they were
unconscious. Mrs. Lowe now be-
came alarmed and called help. With
the assistance of several men Mr.
Baird was revived and breathing
hut n
yond recall Drs. Petersen, Ely and
McConvill were Immediately called
and worked over the unconscious
man but pronounced that Johnson
had been dead several hours. 1t
was known that he had heart
trouble.
Coroner Petersen empanelled a
jury composed of DR.. H. B. Ely, w.
J. Lane, Eugene Canivan, Edward
Deitzer, George Deitzer and DR.. w.
T. McConvill. The verdict was ac-
cidental death from breathing the
fumes from an open gas jet.
Mr.. Lane who was with the men
before they retired, states that the
electric light in the room was left
burning. Ms. Lowe says that about
three o'clock this morning she
heard someone walking in the room
occupied by the two men. The sup
position is that one of them got up
to turn out the light and gave a
twist to the gas jet as the gas jet
and the electric bulb were only a few
inches apart. On turning out the
electric light he had turned on the
gas enough to let it escape in the
room. The close proximity of the
gas and electric apparatus would
make this supposition seem correct
Dr. McConvill stated that one win
dow in the room was slightly open
and that is all that saved the other
man.
Mr.. Baird was still unconscious
late this morning but DR.. McConvilI
pronounced him out of danger.
Mr.. Johnson has wife and fam
lily living in Mauch Church, who
have been notified. Mr.. Johnson Is
a conductor on the New Jersey Cen
trail Railroad and was sixty years o
age. The body will be taken tC
Mauch Chunk for burial.
