NON-SUPPORT CHARGED
BY MRS. FRED STINNARD.
Squire Holds Him in $500 Bail for
Appearance at Court-Stinnard
Refuses to Go and Live With
Nifo

Fred Stinnard was arrested Tues
day afternoon by officer Canivan on
the charge of his wife, of desertion
and non-support. A hearing before
Squire Smith was held and Stinnard
on his refusal to live with his Wife
was held in bail for court. Failing to
put up the $500 bond required he
was placed in the county Jail.
Stinnard stays at Hotel Heumann
while his wife remains on the little
farm in Cherry Ridge and as she
stated to Squire Smith she was oblig
ed to work very hard to keep the
farm going. Three weeks ago she
alleged while haying she suffered
greatly from an accident which near
ly caused her to lose her sight. She
was walking near the load of hay
when stubble about the size of lead
pencil pierced the eye and broke off
in there. DR.. E. w. Burns attended
Mrs. Stinnard and removed the twig
with difficulty. Mrs. Stinnard's
sight was impaired but she will not
altogether lose it. She wears a
green patch over the right eye. Mrs.
Stinnard also accused her husband
of associating with other women.
The charge was not denied by Mr..
Stinnard, who, it is said by those who
know the situation, has good reasons
for not living with his wife. The
Squire was evidently impressed with
the story told by Mrs. Stinnard for
he held the husband over to the next
term of court.

BEAR SEEN AT MAPLEWOOD.

Natives of Maplewood saw bear
on Monday. The bear was prowling
in the woods that top a hill at the
southern end of Lake Henry. Years
ago when bears were not so scarce in
Wayne county as they are now, there
was bear-run that led from the
Moosic mountains through Maple
wood and on over to Newfoundland.
1t was along this old run that the
bear was seen on Monday.
Bruin had probably walked all the
way over from Pike county some
where. He was headed back that
way when he was seen.

SAD DEATH OF 1. e. TIBBETTS.

In the death of Isaac e. Tibbetts
Honesdale loses one of its most high
ly esteemed citizens. The announce
ment of his death came as a COM
plete surprise to his many friends
in Honesdale who did not know OF
his illness. Mr.. Tibbetts was taken
i'll about three weeks ago in New
York City, where he held an excel
lent position with the Standard Sew
ing Machine company, and in whose
employ he has been the majority of
the years of his life. For many years
Mr.. Tibbetts travelled in Pennsylva-
MIA in the interest of the above COM
pany, installing sewing machines in
factories. After needed vacation
of few months he was withdrawn
from the road and given a position
in the New York office of the COM
pany, having as his duties the con-
tinued development of the CONNER
cial end of the business. He held
this position when he was taken i'll.
After coming home, Mr.. Tibbetts
suffered with ear trouble and TAX
ing the advice of his physician, DR..
F. w. Powell, went to the State
Hospital, Scranton, where he receiv-
ed treatment for same and was on
the road to recovery when other
complications set in. His condition
grew weaker until the final sum-
mons came, 9:15 Monday evening,
death resulting from arterial seller
osis of the brain and uremic coma.
The remains were brought to
Honesdale on the 9:15 Delaware and
Hudson train Tuesday afternoon and
taken to his home on East street.
The funeral was held from his late
residence Wednesday afternoon at
$3.50 O'Clock, Rev. DR.. w. H. Swift
officiating. Interment was made in
Glen Dyberry cemetery.
Isaac E. Tibbetts was born in Da-
mascus township December IA, 1856,
and was therefore in the 5Sth year
of his life. In early manhood he
taught school in Berlin township.
Mr.. Tibbetts was man of unusual
traits. He was very sociable, pos
sessing the qualities that won the
admiration of all with whom he
came in contact. Mr.. Tibbetts was
a congenial neighbor and was a
man of strong character. He always
wore smile and always had a
pleasant word for everybody. His
acquaintances were many, all of
whom are greatly grieved over his
demise.
Mr.. Tibbetts is survived by wife
and one step-daughter, Mrs. w. j.
Yerkes, of Honesdale, and one sis
ter, Mrs. Clinton Gray, of Hornell.
The family and relatives have the
profound sympathy of the commun-
ity in their bereavement.
The deceased became a member
of Honesdale Lodge, No. 21S, Free
and Accepted Masons in 1900 and
was also a member of the local
order of Heptasophs. The services
at the grave were in charge of the
Masons.
The pall-bearers were: Hon. E. B.
Hardenbe-gh, o. NJ. Spettigue, Sr.,
and L. Is. Galloway, representing
Honesiale Lodge No. 21S, Free and
Accepted Masons, and Philip Krantz,
w. H, Lee and Charles E. Dodge.

FIRST MARRIAGE LICENSE
ISSUED UNDER new LAW
LOCAL COUPLE FIRST TO APPLY
\ ON THURSDAY UNDER NEW
EUGENICS LAW.

Prothonotary and Deputy Not Very
Enthusiastic Over New License
Law Which inquiries Into AppH-
cant's Physical Condition.
July was very dull month in the
marriage license department Of the
court house. Only six licenses were
given out and they were all asked
4 for during the first two weeks OF the
! month. There was a noticeable de-
.crease in the number of licenses this
month as compared to the same
month last year. In 1912 during the
month of July eleven licenses were
GRANTED. In the local Office of
Barnes there has been
|one license issued during the past
two weeks and they are worried.
The cause of the worry is the fact
that Governor Tener has signed the
Zhew marriage license law requiring
applicants for licenses to prove that
hey are in good mental and physical
Condition at the time the license
Is asked for. Otherwise no license
ean be given them. Can it be that
he new law has taken effect and
discouraged the swains and fair
assies?
The first marriage license to be
GRANTED under the new eugenics law
Vas issued Thursday morning. Here
ofore the spraing incidental of re-
eiving the lady's Yes was consid-
red one of the almost insurmount-
BILE difficulties Now it may be con-
Hidered much in the light of pleas
mt pastime when obtaining the IL
ense.
The couple who applied for a IL
ense in the prothonotary's office
thursday morning were Lewis Bren-
er, of Carbondale, and Mrs. Mary
fergmann, of Honesdale. Both ap-
licants successfully answered the
numerous questions required by the
ew act of assembly and it was diff
cult to determine which-the pros
ective bride and bridegroom or the
equity prothonotary-wer the
lore embarrassed, as the eXamina-
on proceeded. Everybody took it
bod naturedly.
Prothonotary Barnes and deputy,
iss Marcia Barnes, do not seem
ery enthusiastic over the provisions
the law which require them to
k embarrassing questions of the
bplicants, but at the same time
ey acknowledge that the new law
rs its good points as we'll.
They have the power to say
neither or not a license shall be
anted and in the event of doubt
: e case goes before the county
dge who will hear the evidence in
urt or in chambers, without jury
d decide accordingly.

OF INTEREST TO ALL
WHO WANT GOOD ROADS
SOME REASONS WHY GOV. TEN
Err HAD TO CUT MUCH NEED
ED APPROPRIATIONS

The "Dirt Road" Part of the State
Suffers Heavily-Old Claims Still
unprovided fora Big Cut Af-
fecting the Reconstruction of the
National ROad-The $5O,OOO,OOO
Bond Scheme the Only Relief for
Five Years to Come.
Harrisburg, July 31.-Insufficient
State revenue, due to the large excess
of appropriations over the income of
Pennsylvania for the next two years
on the part of the Legislature, has
resulted in a heavy reduction in the
appropriations in aid of the improve
ment of township highways on dirt
roads" These highways, embracing
about $4,000 miles, have Just been
brought under the supervision of the
State Highway department by the ap-
proval of the new township road act,
but their development will be more
or less retarded by the inability of
the State to furnish the means.
Will Have to Wait Some More.
Appropriations made for the build
ing of main highways and for State
aid construction, as we'll as for re-
pair and maintenance Of the State
system, were all heavily cut, and the
same fate has befalleA the bills which
were drawn to pay townships the fif-
ty per cent. bonus on the cash road
tax. The State has been remiss in
this direction and despite of the pass
age of laws binding it to the policy of
aiding townships that abolish the
work tax it still owes these townships
for couple of years. The Governor
approved in its entirety the bill car
rying $1,000,000 to meet the de-
ficiency in the payments for 1911
and 1912, but was forced to cut the
bill providing for 1913 and 1914
to $250,000 which will give only a
fraction to the townships. Nothing
could be voted by the Legislature to
meet the deficiency existing in the
accounts of some years ago.
Quaker City Suffered Also.
Philadelphia, which sought $400,-
600 to improve the numerous miles
of road in its rural district so that
they could connect with the improved
roads in adjoining counties, suffered
along with the rest, getting but one
fourth OF that sum. The 100000
appropriation for reconstruction of
the National road in the southwest
ern part of the State, was vetoed be-
cause the funds are not in sight.
Hard to Wait 3 Years!
These acts of the Governor, taken
after thorough study of the revenue
situation, bring home rather forcibly
the situation in which Pennsylvania
finds itself in regard to it's public
works. Owing to the demands of
the charities and the failure to pro-
vide new sources of revenue the only
means to secure the money necessary
for the systematic development of
the highways is through the propos-
ed $50, 100000 bond issue. The con-
| stitutional amendment providing for
| this issue will be voted upon in No
vember and should it fail the State
will have to be content for at least
| five years with road development
entirely too small to meet the pub
! lie demand.

GOVERNOR TENER
EXPECTED AT FARVIEW.

1t is expected that Governor John
K. Tener will be in attendance at the
meeting of the Farview commission
Saturday, when the monthly meeting
will be held. No meeting was held
this month owing to the fact that no
quorum was present. Governor Ten
er will make an inspection of the
hospital and will return to Harris
burg the same day.
The Farview hospital Jared quite
well at the hands of the governor,
receiving an appropriation of $685.
500. $405,000 was recommended by
the legislature.

Blows Up Mexican Federal Ship
in Guaymas Harbor.
Nogales, Ariz., July 30.-The Mex
lean federal gunboat Tampico, was
destroyed by a bomb dropped from
an aeroplane over Guaymas harbor,
declares an official insurgent mes
sage. 1t was said that Aviator Did
Ter Mason made three flights over
the harbor before he succeeded in
hitting the boat
Governor Ignacio Pasqueria re-
ceived word of the reported insur-
gent victory while he was on his way
north from Hermosillo He was met
at Nogales, Sonora, by Jose Mayora,
the Sonora governor, who had been
at Tucon, Ariz., leaving the affairs
of state with Pasqueira. 1t was said
that the two would confer regarding
either elections or turning over the
government to Maytorena.
While it was reported during the
ltalian-Turkish war that a war vessel
was sunk by bomb dropped from an
aeroplane the report was never con-
firmed There is said to be no other
report of similar feat on record, al
though bombs have been dropped in
military camps during the Balkan
war. Mason has made various at
tempts to damage the four shops of
the Mexican army and navy at Guays,
but has met with Indifferent success.
