KINIBLE'S AUTO BURNS.

The Overland touring car owned
by John Kimble of Honesdale caught
fire Saturday night on the road in
Indian Orchard and was considerably
damaged before the flames were ex-
tinguished.
Mr.. Kimble and a passenger were
driving back to Honesdale when the
machine suddenly caught fire around
the engine. The flame was probably
caused by back fire into the car
buretor.
L. S. Partridge came along the
road and assisted in putting out the
fire by shoveling sand upon the en-
gine. The flames leaped into the air
about eight feet.
The car was practically new and
the damage will amount to about
500 as the engine was ruined. The
front part of the body was also dam
aged. Mr.. Partridge towed the ma
chine back to Honesdale. The dam
age to the car is said to be covered
by insurance.

TANGO PARTY AT
THE LYRIC MUCH ENJOYED.
Mrs. Reichenbacher Conducts Popu-
lar Dance Friday Night Which
is Attended by Many Young
PeOnIp.

That the Tango" and the "Tur-
key Trot," the two new dances that
have captivated both young and old
in all parts of the country, have TAX
en- root and found favor in Homes
dale, was evinced Friday night at the
Lyric when couples of happy young
people Tangoed and Turkey Trotted
to their hearts content.
Mrs, Ida Reichenbacher conduct
ed the Tango party, as the dance was
called, and it was the first of it's
kind to make an official appearance
in Honesdale. The Tango is not by
any means new to the young people
of the town, for it has been seen at
nearly every dance the past season,
but to have a regular Tango party
was really new thing and was en-
joyed as such.
The large number of couples that
participated gave evidence of it's
great popularity in the county seat
and to say that the treat was high
ly enjoyed would be superfiuous. Miss

single entrance fee. Secure your
tickets early of the solicitor. She
will call upon you and if you are not
prepared to pay them, sign the lit
tie card which she will leave which
signifies that you will pay sometime
before the Chautauqua begins.
The number of Chautauquas in
America have increased more than
800 during the past year, bringing
the total number of Chautauquas in
this country up to 1900. While a
goodly percentage of the increase
has been in the west, the develop
mnt has also been larger in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Indiana. The rapid
growth in the number of Chautau7
quas in the United States is largely
due to the comparatively recent in
PRODUCTION of the travelling tent or
circuit Chautauqua.
AS far as the tent, the hauling of
the seats, the driving of the stakes,
the raising of the canvas, and GER
tain of the methods of advertising,
the arrival of the circuit Chautau-
qua in town is not unlike the COM
ing of a circus. Instead of the pro-
fame and reckless men for tent crews,
however, the Chautauqua crews are
composed chiefly of young men
from the colleges, while on the pro-
gram are many of the foremost men
of the nation.
OF the 1900 Chautauquas in the
United States about 1900 are circuit
or system Chautauquas. Some cir
cult Chautauquas put on but a five
day program in a place, then pull
up stakes and move to the next
Chautauqua centre. Many others
continue for seven days in one place,
like the Honesdale Chautauqua.
Seven Chautauquas can be operated
simultaneously under this plan with
the same program. The first days
program moves on to the next Chau-
tauqua at the close of the day and
of the week do likewise. This in
sures change of program every day
for seven days.
At the end of the Chautauqua sea-
son, in September, talent from all
parts of the country who have been
appearing on the Chautauqua pro-
grams throughout the United States,
as well as the talent for winter
lyceum courses, will meet in conven-
tion at Chicago. There are about
1000 members of this organization
which is known as the International
Lyceum Association. Ross Crane, of
Chicago, is president. International
headquarters are maintained in Chi
cago and are visited daily by Chau-
tauqua and lyceum talent who hap
pen to be in or passing through Chi
cago.

DISPUTE OVER WAGES.

A suit to recover wages to the
amount of S105 was heard before
Squire R. A. Smith Thursday after
noon. The plaintiff in the action
was D. L. Spangenburg who was rep
resented by Mr.. Simons as counsel
and the defendant was A. G. James.
James had retained Searle & Salmon
as counsel
The suit is the outcome of a dis
pute over wages for cutting lumber.
The plaintiff had a contract to cut
timber at certain price thousand
feet. The defendant acknowledged
the contract but said it had not been
fulfilled and some of the timber still
remained undelivered. He acknowl-
edged he owed Spangenberg $25.
Squire Smith did not decide the case
at once, but will take little time
over the final decision.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
MANY BARNS.
Three Burned to Ground During
Thursday and Sunday Storms.

During the recent storms that
passed over Wayne county lightning
struck three barns. On last Thurs
day afternoon two barns in northern
Wayne, one at Girdland and another
at Niagara were burned to the
ground. One belonged to Mrs. Mary
R. DeQuino, of Niagara. 1t was in
sured for 5000 and 800 on con-
tents. The other structure was own
ed by Edward F. Schweighofer, of
Girdland, and was destroyed about
7 o'clock. This barn was insured
for 1925 and $3.50 was carried upon
contents. Both barns were insured
in the Farmers Mutual.
The barn of Scott j. Ledyard, of
Creamton, was struck by lightning
Sunday afternoon and completely
destroyed. Insurance to the amount
of 5000 was carried on the barn and
500 on hay and contents. The
Farmers Mutual hold the policy.
A barn belonging to John Merrill,
Calkin Hill, was struck by lightning
and burned during Sundays storm.
Nothing was saved.

HAWLEY RETALIATES AND
TAKES FOURTH GAME.
SATURDAY WAS A HOODO DAY
FOR OUR BOYS WHO BUNCH
ED ERRORS.
Hawley Was Loaded For Bear and
Got Runs on Errors-No Earned
Runs Made in Game.

Runs Made in Game.
For the last few weeks-up to this
week-Honesdale has been playing
almost unbeatable base ball, in fact
it has been long time since we have
seen any team going better and
everybody was boosting"
On Saturday either a thousand
bricks or ton of dynamite hit the
team, and they put up the worst ex-
hibition of base ball seen on the local
grounds in some years and Hawley
with Marshall Bonner, of Indianapo-
lis, Archibald and other places,
pitching, and Mr.. Kerrigan, of Port
Jervis, catching, and a Mr.. Custer on
first base and a March on second,
from where we don't know, gave us
the worst drubbing of the season.
OF course many of the former
boosters" are now knocking" and
with large size sledge hammers too,
but we would ask them to stop and
think that the best teams in the
world have their slumps and get beat
by worse scores than we did on Sat
urday.
But to get back to that game Sat-
urday. Mr.. Bonner was the whole
show from start to finish and well
have to take off our hats to him. In
addition to his good pitching the To-
cal team helped out the Hawley boys
all they could by throwing all their
bad playing for the balance of the
season into one game. Vetter pitch
ed the first six innings for Honesdale
and did remarkably well considering
tlp C11nnnrt tho hnuc hiro
was taken out, not because they were
hitting him, but just to see if a
change wouldn't turn the luck, and
give the locals little more ginger,
as they needed something to wake
them up. Loll pitched we'll, too,
but his support was no better than
Vetter's. Some people say that the
Milford trip was too much for the
locals, others say the "jinx'' has re-
turned and still others have other
reasons, but we believe it was a COM
bination of them all, and then add
the fact that the boys were a little
too anxious to beat Mr.. Bonner. At
any rate we are only "even up" with
Hawley, and Hawley is only "even
up" with US. The score of II to on
Saturday does not look any worse
than 20 to and not quite so bad.
Luck certainly was with Hawley
all the way, even in the toss of the
coin to decide where the fifth and
last game will be played. AS Mana
ger Mcdonald was the best guesser,
we will journey to Hawley one week
from next Saturday (August 23) to
capture that deciding game. Follow
ing are wierd details of the comedy
of 21 errors; yes, sir, 21 errors and
not a single earned run out of Is in
the whole game.

INSANE HOSPITAL WATER
RIGHTS NOT YET SETTLED.
Sluiceway Dug to Lower Reservoir
of Scranton Gas and Water Co.
Water Cannot be Pump
ed to Hospital.

The trouble between the trustees
of the State Hospital for the Crimi-
nal Insane at Farview, and the
Scranton Gas and Water company,
who have been at odds for some
time over watershed rights is far
from being settled, as shown by the
latest move of the water company.
During the week sluiceway was
cut through the bulkhead of the No.
Z dam, draining the water into No.
4 dam, leaving the water so low
in No. that not drop of water
can be pumped to the hospital.
When the land where the hospital
is located was ceded to the state, it
is said that a large part of the No.
7 reservoir was included in the
grant The authorities at the hospi-
tai intended to pump the water from
No. into the No. 8 dam and use
this for the supply. Later a new
dam was built near the old Farview
hospital, as a storage dam. When
the new reservoir was completed w.
w. Scranton, president of the Scran-
ton Gas and Water company, notified
superintendent Fitzsimmons that
the water, they intended to pump,
belonged to him by right of pur-
chase. 1t is understood, that at the
time, Senator Walter McNichols, one
of the trustees of the hospital, made
a proposition to the water company
to try the case out in court. 1t is
said the attorneys agreed to this.
The latest move of Mr.. Scranton
has changed the aspect of the case
and the state has given orders to
drive a 500 foot we'll near the pres
ent site of the reservoir springs. At
present there is plenty of water from
the springs to supply the demands
of the hospital, but when the new
additions are completed the we'll will
be necessary.

Court for Sale of Real Estate.
A special meeting of the stock
holders of the Honesdale Footwear
company, called by Trustee w. H.
Krantz, was held in the city hall Fri
day evening for the purpose of talk
ing over the affairs of the company
which have been in the hands of
Mr.. Krantz as trustee since the plant
of the company was destroyed by fire
some months ago.
The obligations of the Footwear
company have practically been set
tied up with the exception of a small
amount. The assets have also been
about all paid in. Attorneys Iloff
and Garratt represented Levi Pen
warden and other stockholders at
the meeting
W. H. Krantz, former president of
the Honesdale Footwear company,
and trustee appointed by the court
to liquidate the affairs of the COM
pany in lieu of a receivership put be-
fore the stockholders a proposition
whereby he offered them the same
amount of stock as each held in the
old company to apply in new
business venture whereby he propos-
ed to manufacture decorated glass
and china. 1t was proposed to use
the funds remaining in the hands
of the trustee for the rebuilding of
the old plant for this purpose. About
$14, 900 is the amount now in the
hands of the trustee according to
his statement to the stockholders.
Mr.. Krantz presented a paper with
the signatures of several stockhold-
ers who favored the plan of transfer
ing their stock to the new business
without the payment of additional
money. The meeting voted against
the proposition.
A motion was made and carried
to have Mr.. Krantz obtain an order
of court for the sale of all real es-
tate belonging to the company and
then to file his report so that the af-
fairs of the company would be
wound up as soon as possible.
According to a statement made by
Mr.. Krantz at the meeting the pre-
ferred stockholders will receive
about fifty cents on the dollar while
the common stockholders will re-
ceive nothing.

Makes Heroic Rescue at Lake
Sheridan.
Waldemar Gallenkamp, formerly
of Honesdale, saved a man and
woman from drowning at Lake Sher-
idan on Friday last. Gallenkamp,
who is one of the best known and
most powerful swimmers in this
corner of the state, is staying at the
George Eisele cottage and was sit
ting on Sandy Beach when his atten-
tion was called to couple strug-
Cling some fifty or sixty feet off
shore, where the water is very deep.
Young Gallenkamp plunged into
the lake and swan quickly to the
pair. The young woman had gone
down for the third time when he
reached the spot where she was.
Pushing the man aside for the time
being, he being fairly well able to
keep afloat, Gallenkamp dived and
brought the woman to the surface
and then to shore. Then he went
back and brought out the nearly ex-
hausted man.
The man and woman he saved re-
fused to give their names, though
they were profuse in their thanks to
young Gallenkamp.
The young man, who is a son of
the Rev. A. o. Gallenkamp, of Milf
lin avenue, Scranton, has long been
noted as a swimmer and all around
athlete and has won many medals
for his prowess in the water and on
the athletic field, and this is not the
first time he has acted as life
saver in the water.
