Judge STABLES Wins Out.

Judge Charles P. Staples has car
ried the Monroe-Pike judicial dis
trict by 1000 majority.
Monroe gives Staples 700 and Pike
800 majority over former Represen-
tative Rogers l.. Burnett. Staples
carries his home town by 800 and all
the five wards. East Stroudsburg is
the only large town carried by Bur-
nett In Pike county Staples carries
Matamoras by majority of 124 and
loses Milford borough by IS.
Moses c. Strunk, of Middle Smith
field, and James Fable, of Strouds-
burg, receive the highest number Of
votes for associate judge.
j. j. Henderson Running Ahead for
Superior Court.
In some counties reports are that
some voters did not vote the nom
partisan ballot at all, confining them
selves to the party ballots, and owing
to the keen interest in local contests
the results on the state court nomi-
nations were lost sight of. The scat
tering reports received here indi-
cate that Judge John ]. Henderson,
candidate for denomination, received
a large vote, as he is up with the
leaders in every report. James Al
corn, Philadelphia; Cornelius c..
Comegys, Scranton; o. B. Dickinson,
Delaware; Webster Grim, Bucks, and
w. D. Wallace, Lawrence, seem to
have polled a considerable vote in
eastern and central counties, while
John R. Kephart, Cambria, is also
showing some strength. Other can
didates polled large votes in their
home localities.
Ed. Jermyn Scranton's Choice.
Edmund B. Jermyn, of Scranton,
received more than $500 votes out
of 1880 cast for mayor. William
G. O'Malley, also Republican, is the
other successful nominee for that
office. T. R. Brooks, Democratic
candidate, stood fourth man on the
ticket.

ID. & III. AGENTS OUTING A Sue
CESS

The fifth annual outing of the
Delaware and Hudson agents and
officials Of the transportation and
traffic departments, which was held
at Bluff Point, N. Y, in the Hotel
Champlain, which just closed, was
the most successful from all stand
points ever held by the agents. Top
les touching on the improvements of
the traffic and transportation de-
partments were discussed.
The chief speakers were: G. S.
Sims, vice-president and general
manager; e. j. Brenner, agent,
Wilkes-Barre; w. H. Williams, third
vice-president; w. ]. Mullin, general
traffic manager, and A. A. Heard,
general passenger agent. Their
talks were we'll received. President
L. F. Loree was unable to be pres
ent on account of being on a Euro
pean tour.
In his talk Mr.. Sims laid great
stress upon the fact that the manage
ment desired all agents to do every
thing possible at their respective sta
tions to accommodate patrons.
G. ]. Dibble, of Honesdale, was
present at the convention.

HONESDALE NOT ONLY TOWN
BUSY.

The Gould Mills at Long Eddy
says the Sullivan County Democrat
have a large gang of men busily en-
gagged in the manufacture of nearly
half a million child's blackboard out
fits such as are common at Christ
mas time. This is an order for one
concern only. The process of manu-
featuring them will necessitate the
handling of five million finished
pieces.
Up until recent years this firm was
extensively engaged in the manu-
facture of furniture, making cots a
specially. These they shipped in
large numbers to the southern states
The scarcity of suitable timber had
made imperative the change.

1000 CHURCHES REPORT NO
GAIN.

An arraignment of the Tenden-
cies of the Times was contained in
the report of the committee on mar
rative presented before the North
ern Presbyterian Assembly. The re-
port deplores the distressing loss
of membership in many synods of the
church." Nearly 1000 churches
during the last ecclesiastical year
failed to secure a new member
through confession of faith, accord
ing to the report.
Other features brought out were
that some of the churches most in
telligent and influential members
spend the Sabbath on the golf links
instead of attending divine worship;
that the extent and boldness of the
white slave traffic has become aR-
palling, even extending, the report
declares, into Sabbath schools and
Christian Endeavor societies.
w. H. Houston, of Columbus, O.,
secretary of the permanent commit
tee on vacancy and supply, declared
the problem of securing pastors was
one of the most distressing of every
on-Episcopal church. The Assem-
bly, voted to appropriate additional
finances with which to assist the
work of the vacancy and supply COM

Death of Allen G. Stewart.

Allen G.. Stewart, formerly of
Honesdale, but late postmaster at
Endicott, passed away at the home
of his son in Niagara Falls, on Mon
day, September 1. His death came
suddenly, although following a long
period of sickness and i'll health. He
was taken about six months ago with
severe attack of hiccoughs and his
life was despaired of at that time,
but he rallied and again became able
to be about and assume his duties,
but the severe strain of his sickness
undermined his system to such an
extent that he was never in good
health afterward. His fortitude and
cheerfulness during this trying per-
iod bespoke the large nature of the
man. His death was due to heart
failure following the weakening of
his system by the prolonged strain.
His genial nature and innate up
rightness and honesty and the integ-
rity of the man endeared him to the
hearts of all who knew him. Com
ing to Endicott when the village was
in it's infancy, he became foreman
in the factory of Endicott, Johnson
& Company, later going into part
nership with D. G. Morgan, under
the name of Stewart e Morgan, in
the real estate business. Four years
ago when the matter of selecting a
postmaster at Endicott came up, the
large worth of the man made him
the natural candidate, and he was
appointed to the position. His ad-
ministration has been conducted in a
true and businesslike manner and
he has always worked for the best
interests of his home town. To his
good efforts Endicott owes her free
delivery system.
Endicott feels that she has sus-
| tanned a loss that can never be re-
| placed.
He is survived by his wife and
one son, Allen T. Stewart, an attor.
ney in Niagara Falls. He was 65
years of age and prominent in Ma
sonic circles. The burial was held
in Niagara Falls.-Lestershi Endi.
