THE CITIZEN 71th YEAR.--NO. 13 HONESDALB, WAYNE CO., PA., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1913. PRICE OENTS FIRE LOSS LIKELY TO REACH $10,000 Early Morning Flro Does Much Dam ago Started In Myers Shoo Store Reilly Family Narrowly Es cape Suffocation Property Damaged by Water. A disastrous 'fire occurred on South Main street early Friday morning of last week and resulted In a total loss of about $10,000 for the occupants of three buildings. The lire started In the basement of Frank J. Myers' shoe store a little be fore two o'clock, but did not break Into flames till some time later. Mrs. Reilly, who occupies the second floor of the adjoining building was awakened by the dense smoke which poured into her room. The Reilly ' family consists of the mother and son William, and daughters, Olive Anna and Isabelle, all who had a nar row escape from suffocation. They escaped from the building in Bcant attire and one of the family aroused Ben Loris, foreman of Hose Com pany 'No. 1 who gave the alarm. Mrs. 'Iteilly had to be carried out of the building by her son. She was taken to the home of her son, M. J. Iteilly. The Are was mainly In Myers' store when the fire companies ar rived on the scene and after several streams were turned on and by the use of chemicals, it was thought the fire had been extinguished but very soon it again broke out in the sec ond floor of the Reilly building. The second floor of the Myers building Is unoccupied. The Interior of the Myers building was badly burned but the second floor which was a mass of debris, held. The roof was burned off. The Kellly bu'lding was badly damaged on the Interior of the second floor, occupied by Mrs. Reilly and family. They were unable to save any of their effects. The T. D. O'Connell building on the north, used on the first floor by Michael Galvin, wholesale liquor dealer, and Harry A. Deck, plumber, and on the second floor O'Con nell's hall were considerably dam aged by water and slightly by fire as the latter only broke through into the hall and was quickly ex tinguished. Harry Deck suffered considerable loss by water. Loss covered by insurance. South and adjoining the Reilly building was Galvin & Theobald's hardware store and over them the rooms were occupied by Frank Was man and family. The latter's goods were damaged to some extent by water. The water stood many feet deep In the cellars of all the build ings. At one time it looked as though the whole block was doomed to destruction as smoke could be seen issuing from the eaves of all the buildings. The thorough work of all the fire companies undoubted ly saved the entire block. About three o'clock the fire was thought to be under control but there was .plenty of smoke. About this time the flames again leaped up and It was all the lire fighters could do to check its rush upward and outward. A second alarm was turned in just before 3 o'clock. Taking Into con sideration that the thermometer hovered around zero all the time the work of checking the flames was dif ficult. Several streams were kept constantly playing on the buildings in front and rear until the Are was at last under control. The recall sounded a few seconds before six o'clock Friday morning. The origin of the lire is unknown. There is a steam heating plant in the basement of the Meyers building but Mr. Myers says everything there was In good condition when he left for the night. He carried $3,000 Insur ance on the building and $2,700 on the stock and fixtures. T. D. O'Connell's loss to his build ing was covered by insurance. Mrs. Reilly carried $1500 insur ance on her building and furniture. Galvin & Theobald carried $1500 insurance on stock and building. Frank Wasman's loss was cover ed by Insurance. 'Michael Galvin suffered some loss by water. The Insurance adjusters are expected to arrive to-day.

BOROUGH COUNCIL HOLD A MEETING Street Railway Franchise To Do Taken Up nt Adjourned Meeting W. II. Leo Appointed Solicitor Bills Paid. The borough council met at their regular monthly meeting Thursday evening with the following council men present: Martin Caufield, presi dent; G. W. Penwarden, treasurer; John Erk, secretary; C. II. Rettew, S. T. Ham, Wm. Kreltner and Thos. Canlvan. The minutes of the last meeting and special meetings were read and approved. W. H.

The ordinance was drawn up and passed by the council repealing all rights of the above companies to the use of the borough streets. An ordinance was drawn up by Atty.

The .matter was discuss ed at length by the council but it was finally deferred for two weeks to bo taken up at an adjourned meeting, at which time each article In the proposed franchise will be gone over and discussed. It is likely that if the railway company is given the franchise at the next meeting of the council they will be obliged to pave the street inside the rails and two feet on each side as the track is laid. If this is done the borough will in all likelihood pave the remainder of the main street at the same time. A meeting will be held some evening this week to discuss the 'matter.

CHAUTAUQUA MEETING HELD AT HIGH SCHOOL Interesting Talk By Dr. A. E. Turner on tho Aims of the Chautauqua Hope to Organize Here Later Meeting to bo Held Feb. 25. Dr. A. E. Turner, associate direc tor of the Chautauqua Association of Pennsylvania, came to Honcsdalo last week to organize a Chautauqua to be held here this summer. Ho spoke to a s"mall number in the li brary room of tho High school Fri day night. Although the number present was small the meeting was a very Interesting and enthusiastic one. Plans for a Chautauqua were discussed, but no definite steps were taken other than to appoint a time for a later meeting at which It Is hoped a larger and more representa tive gathering will be present. Tho date chosen for the meeting was Tuesday evening, February 25th In the High school. Dr. Turner has consented to be present and address tho meeting. Notwithstanding the small attend ance Dr. Turner was prevailed upon to talk on the Chautauqua, Its meth ods, aims and progress. He Is a forceful talker and converted his au dience at once. He named the six reasons why Honesdale should have a Chautauqua. They are given briefly: The Chautauqua will confer unique distinction upon the town. It will advertise the town 'by giv ing prominence to its best element its intellectual, religious and moral strength and progresslveness. No dead town will have a Chautauqua. Chautauqua will be held right In the town, not in the country away from it. It will, therefore, not dis turb business, but will rather in crease it, by bringing here people form the country and nearby towns. It will unify the best people and the best Interests. It is the most democratic Institution In America. All workers for the common good, however divided Into different churches, groups, and organizations, are united here under conditions In suring a permanent Inspiration to all. It is an efficient instrument for arousing and directing public opin ion along useful and definite lines. The Chautauqua platform is unbiased and non-sectarian. It affords stim ulating discussion of all current, questions of Importance. The great problems of the day are N brought home to the community. 'It does not destroy ideals nor lead to waste of money, as almost every other form of summer festival does. It costs less than a good Fourth of July celebration. There Is no "morning after." It leaves behind a lasting inspiration. Business men feel the changed atmosphere and In dorse It everywhere. It Is a "no profit corporation." Over a thousand Chautauquas were held throughout the west last year, but only a few of them were located east of the Allegheny Moun tains. Most of them have carried out in spirit the purpose of the par ent Chautauqua in New York and the programs seek to combine in struction, entertainment and amuse ment. Out of the forty-one towns where Chautauquas were held last season forty have asked to havo them repeated this year. This Is the best argument for the Chautauqua. Dr. Turner Interspersed his remarks with witty phrases and told many stories to illustrate his points. For next season the program in cludes such attractions as Frank Dixon, Newell Dwight HUlis, Reno B. AVolbourne, William Sterling Battis, Rosani, th s juggler, The Flor entine Concert Band, The Common wealth Quartet, and more than twen ty other features, including a speak er of national reputation in politi cal life. Gov. Hadley of Missouri is under engagement and each com munity will have the pleasure of lis tening to a man who is widely known. President Taft and AVlIliam Jennings Bryan are on the list, tho latter with the proviso that he is not chosen Secretary of State. The entertainments are held in a largo tent specially constructed for tho purpose, with a maximum seat ing capacity of two thousand. It Is seated with folding chairs and all the arrangements are in charge of an experienced platform manager as sisted by a tent crew of college stu dents, who look after the comfort of the people in every way .possible. "Tho Chautauqua towns," said Dr. Turner, "are distinctive." A traveler in the west comes to know a Chau tauqua town as soon as ho gets Into one. They have a different air an atmosphere of community thinking and community progress." Tho Association is not In any sense a money making concern. For the permanency of tho work it is hoped to make it self-sustaining but there will be no such thing as profits. If tho receipts exceed the expenditures, tho excess will go back 1 1. -V In Ilia wnv rtf hftttnr 1IUO lliu wuin. in ""j I and more extended programs for tho Tho r.hautauaua circuit plan is op- nlinrt to the smaller towns, in Which high class entertainments or famous lectures are ordinarily not heard. It buys high class entertainment ana pays famous lecturers wholesale, and gives the benefit to the town by pre senting them at wholesale prices. There are over thirty features on tho program for the proposed Chau tauqua to bo held hero and it will only cost about seven cents a feat ure. Dr. Turner concluded by say ing that Honesdale was an ldoal town and In the lino of progress and he hoped tho people would get together at tho next meeting ana aeciae to I havo one. )
