horsepower White steamer runabout.

led by his son, William F., will go

An inquest was held in the city
building of Carbondale Monday even
ing by Deputy Coroner DR.. w. S.
Johnson inquiring into the circum-
stances surrounding the death of Pc
ter Kane, Jr., who was fatally in
jured while at work at the Delaware
& Hudson breaker about a week
ago. The testimony showed that
Kane met his death by being struck
by a part of an eccentric thrown
from the third floor of the breaker.
The findings were that death was ac-
cidental.
For two weeks the farm man
agement agents of the Department
of Agriculture held daily meeting in
Philadelphia. About $50 of the state,
district and county agents of the
department were present, all of them
interested in farm management and
especially interested in preparing to
carry the farm demonstration work
into the northern states. The state
and county agents gave place to the
National Association of American
Farm Management, which held a
two-day session.
Owing to the fact that demands
for the state police frequently, can
not be complied with because of lack
of men, it is said the present legis-
lature will be asked to increase the
force, which now consists of four
troops of approximately fifty men
each. The proposed bill will prob
ubly pl Wv luC lOI lhC lololh5 VI
troops to rs or 100 men each. The
department estimates that 1000 men
would not supply the requests from
various parts of the state. Efforts
to increase the state police force in
recent sessions have not been sue
cessful.
The Citizen extends congratu-
lations to Rev. w. H. Swift and
County Treasurer w. w. Wood on
the occasion of their sixty-fifth birth
day which fell on Sunday, Feb. 2.
DR.. Swift was born in Geneva, New
York, and has been the pastor of the
Honesdale Presbyterian church for
twenty-nine years. w. w. Wood,
the present treasurer of the county,
was born in New York City in 1S4S.
He has held many positions of trust
since coming to Honesdale. Mr..
Wood was elected treasurer at the
last county election on the Republi-
can ticket.
AT the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Honesdale Union
Stamp Shoe Co., the following Of

John Tierney, Horace Williams,

1t is rumored that the brother
of Elias Vantran, who undoubtedly
was accidentally drowned in Falls
burgh Lake, went to Middletown to
consult a clairvoyant in regard to
the matter and as a result he was
informed that Mr.. Vantran was safe
and happy and not in the lake. In a
certain sense the seer probably has
spoken the truth, but there is no
doubt in the minds of anyone in that
region but what his body is some
where in the bottom of Fallsburgh
