GIRL DEAD FROM BURNS;
HER SISTER IS DYING
PRESTON PARK CHILDREN
BURNED WHEN GASOLINE is
POURED ON FIRE.

Vera Haines, 13; Anna Haines, @,
Victims of Tragedy. The Former
is Dead and the Latter Not EX-
pected to Live.
Vera Haines, aged thirteen years,
and her sister, Anna, aged six, were
so severely burned in a fire that de-
stroyed their home near Preston
Park Monday, that the older girl
died at the State hospital in Scranton
early Tuesday morning, where she
was taken Immediately. The other
sister, Anna, is also in the State hos
pital and is in a serious condition.
She is still unconscious and her
death is expected by the physicians
in attendance.
The two girls were left alone in
their home Monday and the older
girl started to prepare dinner. To
help along the smouldering wood
fire she picked up a can supposing it
to contain kerosene and poured the
contents upon the fire. There was a
flash of fire from the stove and the
clothing of the two girls was soon
in flames. The can had contained
gasolene. The girls were excited
and did not know what to do. They
rushed from the house with their
clothing ablaze and ran as far as
Preston Park.
When they reached the settlement
their clothing was almost burned
away and they were completely ex-
hausted. Medical attention was CIV
en- but it was found that their con-
dition was so serious that it was
decided to send them to the State
hospital for treatment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Haines returned
home Monday and found their home
burned and then learned of the seri-
Gus condition of their two children.
They are stricken with grief over
the tragedy.

STATE OFFICIALS RECOMMEND
TO PAVE NOW.
$4,000 Available Which VIII be
Lost if Not Used This Year.

Representatives Riegel and
Rounds of the State Highway De-
partment were in Honesdale on Mon
day afternoon in the interest of the
improvement of Main street. These
gentlemen, together with President
Martin Caufield of the town council,
Burgess G. A. McCarty, Hon. e. B.
Hardenbergh and j. d. Weston,
chairman of the Street and Highway
committee of the Greater Honesdale
Board of Trade, met in the latter s
Office in the Durland-Weston Shoe
company building to discuss road
matters and arrange for meeting
of the borough council which will be
held on Friday evening of this week.
Superintendent Riegel presented a
draft of Main street made from the
survey taken a few weeks ago by the
State corps. On it were shown the
grade, width of street and other i'm
portant data. In discussing the mat
ter of paving superintendent Riegel
told the borough officials that in or
der to secure the appropriation set
aside for Honesdale that immediate
action ought to be taken. There is
at present about $4,000 available.
Work could begin August 1st, said
Superintendent Riegel, to be COM
pleted in three months time. To OBJ
tain this appropriation, Mr.. Riegel
emphasized the fact that the town
council must avail themselves of the
opportunity offered right now. Su-
perintendent Riegel estimated the
cost of paving Main street from the
State bridge to 4th street at about
$4,000. Taking the amount avail
able from the state, say $4,000, to
which can be added $4,000, the
Street railways's proportion, leaves a
balance of about $25, 900 for the cit
liens and borough to pay. Allowing
for incidentals, the borough's share
or total bonded indebtedness would
be about $4,000. This amount will
have to be secured before the State
will do any work, or allow its ap-
preparation money to be used.
The road will be divided into six
equal parts. The abutting property
owners will be apportioned two
siXths or one-third each of the cost
of paving, the remaining two-siXths
to be taken care of by the Borough
of Honesdale and the trolley road.
The cause of the existing condi-
tions which provide for 1000 avail
able for the portion of Main street
above the State bridge, If not taken
up this year, would revert back to
treasury; it was deemed advisable
at this meeting by the State authori-
ties as by the borough officials that
the Improvement should be extended
from Fourth street north to the
borough line. The road above the
bridge, however, will not be OF
brick, owing to its cost, but probably
of macadam.
superintendent Riegel's draft
shows Main street below the State
bridge as being 40 feet wide, except
near the State bridge, where it will
be about so feet. Concrete curbing
will be used.
Parties desiring new service pipes
for water or gas are requested tc
have same laid before July 1st OF
this year.

JOY RIDE MAY BE EXPENSIVE.
Honesdale Young Men Take Anoth-
er's Car and Go to Scranton
Where They Run into Police.

Where They Run into Police.
Five well known young men of
Honesdale decided the other night
that they would have a joy ride and
they looked around for the means
to satisfy their desire. They soon
hit upon plan and proceeded to
carry it out. They took Frank Nc
Kenna's car and drove off to Scran-
ton. The party left Honesdale about
three O'Clock Wednesday morning
and when they reached the Electric
City they began to embibe too free
ly and having had something before
they started they were feeling pretty
good. They ran the auto around the
city and banged it up considerably
before they were apprehended by the
police.
Mr.. McKenna did not discover that
the car was missing until Wednes-
day morning and after making in
quiries he telephoned to the police
OF Scranton to look out for the car.
The police started on a hunt and f.
nally located the car by number and
took charge of it and the young
men. E. H. Cortright went to Scran-
ton Wednesday p. m. and brought
the automobile back. Two of the
young men came back that night but
the other three are still expected.
Mr.. McKenna says that he is going
TO make them pay for their 10y
ride"

JUMPS THROUGH WINDOW;
HOUSE RAGING FURNACE
LARGE HOUSE AND FIVE OTHER
BUILDINGS IN CANAAN DES-
TROYED BY FIRE.

Paul Vaverchallx, Owner, Away
From Home, Son Escapes Through
Window--Farm Known as Jos.
Ryan Place Near Canaan Church.
Hearing dishes and bric-a-brac
smashing on the floor of the next
room to where he was sleeping,
Paul Vaverchalk of Canaan, was
awakened shortly after one o'clock
Tuesday morning to find his room
filled with smoke and the rest of the
house in flames. His room was on
the second floor and when he awoke
the fire had burned the stairs and
cut off that means of escape. In
order to save himself he was obliged
to crawl through the window and
jump to the ground.
The origin of the fire is unknown
but it is thought it is the work of
incendiaries. Just where it started
is also a mystery for when discover
ed every building on the place was
blazing. 1t had gained such a. start
that all efforts to check it were
fruitless, and in a few hours after
young Vaverchalk was awakened,
the five buildings, including a large
barn and outbuildings, and the large
house were reduced to ashes.
Paul Vaverchalk and his son live
alone on the property, the former
having purchased the farm about
four years ago of James Ryan, in
tending to establish a hotel there.
Monday he went to Scranton and the
son, Paul Vaverchalk, was alone in
the house. The place is located
about a quarter of mile from the
Canaan Catholic church.
There was no stock in the barns
when they were consumed. About
ten tons of hay was destroyed be-
sides all of the farming tools and
implements and household furniture.
Every building on the place, except
a small clubhouse was entirely con-
sumed and the loss will probably
reach in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
Mr.. Vaverchalk was in Honesdale
Wednesday and told a Citizen man
that his loss would be considerable
more than that amount. He stated
that he carried insurance to the
amount of $2500 in the Wayne
County Farmers Fire Insurance
company.

Mrs. Harry Opello died at her

sufferer from tuberculosis and had
recently undergone an operation in

for her. The funeral services were
held at Lakeville on Wednesday af-
ternoon and interment took place
in the Paupack cemetery. The
wife's illness has been heavy ex-
pense to Mr.. Opello who is laborer
in that vicinity but the generosity
of the neighbors will never be for
gotten by him.
