LEFT HOME WITHOUT INFORM
ING HUSBAND.
Mysterious Disappearance of Woman
With Another Man Causes Much
Local Excitement.

Last summer good looking,
smooth talking young fellow landed
in town and took up the work of So
Letting subscriptions for various
magazines. He continued in this line
until fall when he secured a Job with
one of our largest manufacturing
concerns. When he took UP this
work he boarded with one of his fell
low workmen until last Thursday
when he suddenly left town, after
bidding his fellow workmen, friends
and landlord goodbye. He said he
had secured a better position in
Massachusetts,. This young man, it
is alleged, had been very friendly
with the wife of his landlord but
nothing was thought of this at the
time. The peculiar part is that on
the day he left Honesdale the wife
of the landlord also suddenly left
town, but, it is said, on different
trains. The husband and sons
of this unhappy family have
our sincere sympathy as they are in
dustrious people and had made
good home for the mother. This
young man is many years the wom-
ans junior. 1t is a fact that the
family do not know where the wom-
an went as she left no word 1t is
reported that the young man has
been married and has a wife living.

DESTRUCTIVE MORNING FIRE AT
WHITE MILLS
COMPLETELY DESTROYS THREE
STORY BUILDING OTHERS
ENDANGERED.
Occupied BY Minor Brown as Store

Escape Explosions Endanger
Lives of Firemen Who Do Good
Work.

Work.
A disastrous fire occurred in White
Mills early Sunday morning which
totally destroyed the three-story
building on the main street of the
town occupied by Minor Brown and
family and owned by w. H. Ham.
The loss will reach about $4,000.
The first floor of the building is used
by Mr.. Brown as a store and the two
floors above are occupied by his fam
lily as living quarters.
About two o'clock Sunday morn
ing Mr.. Brown was awakened by
smelling smoke in the room and af-
ter an investigation he found the
store room full of smoke and fire.
Going up stairs he awakened the
family and afterwards sent in the
alarm, but the fire nad gained such
headway that the family barely es-
capped suffocation and escaped only
in their night clothes,
The fire company responded
quickly but by that time they saw
the building was doomed and turn
ed their energies to saving the build
ings on either side, which were very
close. If there had been a strong
wind the whole row of residences
Mills fire department deserve great
praise for their heroic work at the
fire. Some of them really endan-
gered their lives. Several chemical
appliances were used besides one
stream by the firemen.
MIR. Brown handled oil and pow-
der and a little shed at the rear of
the main building was used for the
purpose of storing these combusti-
bles. When the flames reached this
shed the explosions were frequent
although no one was hurt. One eX-
plosion which occurred, tore the
whole front of the store out, scat
tering the large crowd of spectators
which had gathered. Several bar
rels of kerosene oil and linseed oil
were dumped into the canal.
Mr.. Hams garage nearly caught
fire and it was with great difficulty
that his car was saved. The front
wheels were off and the car had to
be lifted out. Just as this was ac-
complished the roof fell in.
The buildings on either side were
saved with difficulty, by the use of
wet blankets and water All the fur
niture had to be taken out of these
buildings.
The building collapsed about |
O'Clock but the firemen with streams
of water worked on until about s |
O'Clock Sunday morning.
The Honesdale fire companies
kindly offered their services but the
fire was then considered under con-
troll. The White Mills fire company
and the whole town were grateful
for this offer of assistance.
Everything in the building was de-
stroyed and as the fire had gained |
such headway, nothing could be saw
ed.
The fire started up again in the
ruins about seven o'clock Sunday |
night and it was necessary for the
firemen to again come to the rescue.
The flames this time did not last |
long.
The loss to the building is covered
by insurance but Mr.. Brown is a
heavy loser and his loss outside of
his insurance amounts to about SS,-
900. He carried a stock of about
$1,000. He also lost a valuable
hunting dog in the flames.
