The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-07-25

In to-day's Citizen we record three
appalling fires. One in Binghamton,
N. Y, another in Jackson, Miss, and
the third at Ossining, N. Y. Outside
of the latter conflagration nearly
100 lives were lost in the flames.
Citizen First to Announce Fire.
The Citizen was appraised of the
Binghamton fire by special wire at z
o'clock Tuesday evening, which read
as follows:
Binghamton, N. Y, July %.
Special to The Citizen.
A fire in the four-story factory of
the Binghamton Clothing company,
of rs girl employees. Fifty are re-
ported to be injured. The factory
gave employment to 1875 hands.
The Citizens bulletin was display
ed in the window of F. w. Schuer-
holz's cigar store, where it was eag-
erly and sadly read by hundreds of
people, who received the first infor-
nation of that awful catastrophe,
where many lives were lost.
Wayne County's Sad Part.
Wayne county is especially inter-
ested in the Binghamton fire be-
cause people from this fair county
were employed in that factory.
Mrs. Elizabeth Jones of Waymart
received information concerning Mrs.
Alvin White, who it is feared was
fatally burned. Her recovery is
doubtful. Both Mr.. and Mrs. White
were employed in this factory.
Later-Mrs. White Dies.
The sad news of the death of Mrs.
Alvin White was received in Way
mart on Wednesday, she having sue
Cumbed to the severe burns received
| at the fire. The remains were
brought to Waymart Thursday morn
ing on the first Delaware AMI Hud-
son train. The funeral was held
Immediately afterward from the
Methodist church. Interment was
made at Canaan Corners. Mrs
! White was about Al years old and
was a daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth
Jones of Waymart. The deceased
is survived by her husband, Alvin
White and two sons, Guy and Victor
of Binghamton; also by her mother
and two brothers and one sister
namely, Mrs. Hannah Sensentine, OF
Clinton; Sylvester, of Rochester, N
Y, and Charles Jones at home, Way
mart. Mrs. White was born at ole
No. 4 on the Gravity railroad, now
known as Steene. For sometime the
family lived near Dunbar and later
moved west. About year ago they
returned east and Mr.. and Mrs
White secured employment in the i'll
fated factory. The family has the
sympathy of the community in theil
bereavement.

Convicts Fight Fire at Sing Sing.

Convicts Fight Fire at Sing Sing.
Fire late Tuesday afternoon start
ed in the mat shop at Sing Sing pris-
on and quickly spread to the lumber,
carriage and wagon departments and
the ice house. These buildings were
destroyed at an estimated loss of
$150,OOO.
About 200 convicts aided in pre-
venting the flames from spreading to
the prison proper. Two trustees
overcome by smoke were revived in
the hospital. Several convicts whose
identity was not disclosed entered
the fire zone and rolled barrels of
gasoline and benzine to a safe dis
tance.
May Liberate Convicts.
Ossining, N. Y, July 24.-Warden
Clancy, of Sing Sing prison, today
declared he would ask for clemency
at the hands of Governor Sulzer for
many of the three hundred prisoners
employed in the buildings which were
destroyed by fire Tuesday. All of the
men aided in fighting the fire and
though the gates were left open for
two hours so that f1remen might en-
ter, not a prisoner attempted to es-
cape.
1t is certain that all of the prison
ers will be granted special privileges.

will, Of course, play third base, with
Rhoads at first, while Pendleton and

Gill and Bailey, as well as Ted Read, who
played in many of the games last year in
an outfeld position. Other outiieid candi-
dates are Hanks. More Yeiser ana Beser.
No practice, except for pitchers and

expected that Clark, the coach. will issue
a general call before long. Two big prop

first class pitcher, and the second to
develop a strong hitting team. In the
past Princeton's batting has generally
been OF a high order. and it is not ex-
pected that his year will be an eXcep-
ton. The pitching situation is the more
serious of fhe two. for at present there is
little satisfactory material in this depart

be in the form of an Illustrated talk by

G. :. Stetson, of Maine chairman of its
executive committee, one who has given
much thought to the roads question ia It's
