WIM 111. THE FARVIEW HOSPITAL. The First Shovelful of Earth Thrown Out on Saturdny. On Friday last architect Sliiik and con tractor Glenn, of Philadelphia, arrived in Carbondale, and with Dr. T. C. Fitz siminoiH, visited Farview, and after in specting the site, made everything ready for beginning the work of laying the foundationn of the mammoth structure. On Saturday the first shovelful of earth was thrown out by contractor Glen, who will superintend the erection of the build- inir. No ceremonies were arranged for the event, but several of the Stateofficers in terested in the project were present, in cluding architect J. C. M. Shirk, who drew the plans for the several buildings, and the following members of the hos pital commission : Former Speaker II. F. Walton, president of the commission; Senator William Sproudel, of Delaware ; James Milcspeller, of Allentown ; former Congressman Charles Mullen, of Mount Holly, Hon. C. Fred. Wright, of Su quehanna, and Senator Sterling C'atlin, of Luzerne county. During the year 1005 a bill was intro duced in the State Legislature appro priating $100,000 for the purchase of a site and erecting suitable buildings in which to keep the State's criminal in sane. Although there was some oppo Sition to the measure, it went through with a large majority, and a commission was named to select and purchase a site and get plans and specifications for the erection of the buildincs. A number of sites were inspected by the commission, but they finally decided on the Farview site as the most desirable, taking every thing into consideration, and the plot of ground was secured. It was expected to begin operations earlier in the year, but unavoidable de lays prevented this, and now with every obstacle removed the work will be push ed rapidly. As soon as the foundation walls are laid a large torceof mechanics will be employed, and it is expected that, where possible, local workmen will be given employment. With the completion of the Farview hospital accommodation for many hun dreds of the criminal insane will be had, and those now confined in other institu tions such as the regular insane asylums, state prisons and municipal institutions, will be sent to Farview. ' The site on which the hospital build ings will be erected was conveyed to the State by the Delaware & Hudson liail road Company for a nominal sum. It comprises about 000 acres and includes a never failing spring of water, se.veral acres of valuable farm land and a large tract of picturesque mountain land. Proposed Changes In Fish Laws. Important changes in the tish laws of Pennsylvania are provided in two bills adopted by the conference of representa tives of the fish protective association of thirty-one counties, which concluded its work in Harrisburg on Friday last. The bills will be submitted to the Legislature. It is proposed to permit violators of fish laws to appeal to court, and also do away with the division of fines among wardens and informers, and turn all the money into the State Treasury. Carp are added to the list of food fish.

Sanger Mclleynolds, 20 years of age, died at Brownsville, Buckingham town ship, this county, on Wednesday of last week, as the result of an accident which hefel him while hunting on the previous Fridav. While walking on a log through the woods, the bark slipped, and he fell, striking his hack on a stub. He was painfully injured, but managed to reach ionic, where ordinary treatment seemed to afford much relief, and by Sunday evening, while a young lady of the household was entertaining the family with some violin music, he arose and danced about the room with great ap parent enjoyment. On Monday and Tuesday the case took a bad turn, and by Wednesday became alarming. Dr. G. C. Merriman, of Lake Como, was summoned by phone, but despite all ef forts to save him the young man died at fi o'clock in the evening. Daniel Mclleynolds, father of the un fortunate young man, married Jennie, a daughter of Abial S. Brown, of Leb anon, and buying the farm of Francis Gilchrist, at. Brownsville, now High Lake post ofiiee, located there and rear ed his family of six children. In mak nig his purchase he obtained a loan of his father-in-law, securing it by a mort gage on the property. In course of time James Williams married McHey- nold's oldest daughter, and the latter thinking to better himself at Forest City, removed to that place, leaving his own farm and stock in charge of bis son-in- law, on a lease. About two years ago, Mclleynolds, disappointed at Forest City, returned with his family to this county, and found temporary employ ment with his father-in-law, Mr. Brown. This arrangement lasted till some time in the early fall, when the McReynolds family returned to the IlighLake home stead, and its head, with the oldest boy, went farther west toengnge in hop pick ing. This proved to be a profitless venture, and father and son came back to High Lake in worse financial plight than when they started. Then followed the unfortunate accident, and sad death of Sanger, as already related. Friday last was fixed as the day for the voting man's funeral, and as the in terment was to be in the Pulis burying ground, in Dyberry, several miles from the Mclteynolds farm, nine o'clock was designated as the hour for the services Shortly after breakfast-time relatives be gait gathering lrotn distant homes, among them Samuel Wilmarth, an uncle of .the dead boy, with his wife, son, and daughter. Mrs. Wilmarth and daughter aligited, and entering the house were greeted kindly by Mr. McReynolds, who then f illowed his brother-in-law and son to the stable where they were about to put out their team. He was evident' lv in much distress, but gave them a pleasant greeting, and returned with them to the house. The Williams, Mclleynolds and Wil marth families, with a sister, Mrs. Wal ton, of Buffalo, having gathered in the breakfast room, Mr. Mclleynolds was seen by his brother-in-law, Mr. Wil marth, who was the only one of the group paying any particular attention to his movements, to take from a shelf a half-pint bottle, about half-filled with a white liquid, which Mr. Wilmarth sup posed to he some sort of a stimulant lie then, turning his back to his visitor opened a paper and read it, after whicl he raised the bottle to his lips and swallowed its contents. A cup partially filled with coffee was standing on the table, and this he immediately drained after which he rushed out of the house and ran toward the barn, located per haps two hundred feet distant, on rising ground, lie was followed by Mr. Wil marth and son, who, on Hearing him questioned him as to what he had done but he made no reply, and on reaching the barn, for which his strength barely held out, he threw himself or fell on the tloor, evidently in mortal agony. Whe he drank the coffee be threw the cup to ward the table, knocking over a castor which attracted the attention of the others in the room, and word coming in of his condition, Dr. Merriman was again summoned from Lake Como by phone. He responded immediately nnd reached Brownsville while Mr. Mcltey nolds was Mill breathing, but too late t be of any service, as the unfortunate man died just fifty-five minutes after swallowing the fatal dose. The paper he read just beforo his rash act was an official notice from Sheriff Iloadkuight sent at the instance of a creditor, and the contents df the bottle proved to be carbolic acid. Mr. Mclleynolds was 47 years of age and, besides his wife, is survived by two sons, Jacob and Daniel, and three daughters, Elsie, Clara and Bessie. The funeral of Sanger was postponed until Saturday, when father and son were laid to rest in the samo grave, in the Pulis cemetery. Arnold-Miller. Married, in Hawley, Oct. 25, 1008, by the Ilev. B.

HYMENEAL. Amos Knapp, of Norwich, N. Y., and Miss Kt'tel C. Marks, of Galilee, Wayne county, Pa., were united in marriage, at the M. E. parsonage, Hancock, on Wednesday last, by Kev. O. A. Mar chant. John B. Golden, of Scranton, and Miss Margaret Moylan, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Moylan, of Fermoy, were married in the former city, Oct. 20, 1908. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Julia Moylan, and the groom by his brother, Paul Golden. Both Mr. and Mrs. Golden hold impor tant positions in the offices of the Scran ton Railway Company. Their perma nent home will be G01 North Hyde Park Avenue, Scranton. The wedding of Miss liina Jacobs, of Scranton to Edward Lowenstein, of Wilkes-Barre, was celebrated Wednes day" evening last at the residence of Mr, and Mrs. Isadore Roos, the latter being a sister of the bride. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. N. Anspach er, of the Madison Avenue temple, and was witnessed by a large party of friends. Daniel Jacobs, a brother, gave the bride away, and the bridesmaid was Miss Freda Lowenstein, of New York, a sister of the bridegroom. Nathan Ja cobs, a brother of the bride, was best man. Mrs. Roos was matron of honor. The bride wore white lace over taffeta. Among other out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jacobs and Mr. Mrs. Arthur Lcinc. of Honesdale, who are relatives of the bride. Sterling Jubilee Singers. No attraction is so sure to draw a good crowd and please everybody as a first class jubilee company. The Sterling Jubilee Company have proven them selves to be the most popular organiza tion of the kind that has been offered on any concert course. In addition to their regular program, they will intro duce their new plantation melodies with banjo, guitar, and mandolin accompani ments, dividing their program into two parts the first representing the negro in the old plantation days in the south, the second., the negro after coming north. This will certainly prove a very attractive feature of their program. At the Lyric Theatre on Tuesday evening, Nov. 10th. Steene. Nov. 2d. Henry Hogencamp is cast ing his optics around for a suitable resi dence for the winter months, as he thinks there is no show for getting into the new house now under way on the farm he now occupies. Thomas Arthur has given up the butcher business and, with Richard Clift, has gone into the lumber woods. It will be a wonder if the borough of Waymart doesn't have some damages to pay in the near future, as they have a large force of men and teams drawing and tilling in the road with rocks and stone between the Hubbard & McMullen stock farm and Waymart. At the pre sent time there is a stretch of about one half mile of stone androck, without any covering. Just drive over toward Way mart with a heavy load, and if the su- Eervisor don't get a blessing it will bo ecause you are too much out of breath to give it to him. From one acre and a-half J. E. Haley has just finished husking 150 bushels of corn. This yield will average with the great corn crop of Albert Odell on the Aldenville road, who cultivated about seven acres with phenomenal success. Several of the farmers in this section will run a creamery next season and make their own butter, as our creamery at l'rompton hardly paid running ex penses this season. David Wonnacott is much improved from his recent illness. Infants', Children's and Misses' win ter Cloaks at MennerA Co.'s.

And now we have plenty of water again. it may be interesting to the sporting fraternity to know something of the haul of big game made in this vicinity m the last ten days. Hobert .Boyce, John liazelton and Edgar Cross started trapping for bear on the tract lying between the Nortl and South turnpike and Gouldsboro about two weeks ago. About ten days ago, Mr. Boyce caught the first bear, a cub weighing about 70 pounds. The following day Hazelton and Cross caught another bear that weighed about 100 pounds. On Tuesday morning of last week Boyce had another bear cub in his trap and the other two trappers, Hazelton and Cross, had a cub in one trap and a two hundred pdttnd bear in another. A day or so later Boyce trap ped another larger cub and Hazelton shot another large bear, weighing two hundred pounds, making seven bears killed within a circle of less than two miles. Mr. Boyce sold one of the cubs to F. D. Waltz and with the meat of the others he has been treating his friends and neighbors to bear steak. Messrs. Hazelton and Cross sold one cub to Wm. Hughes, of Scranton, the large cub to a man in Easton and one big bear to a man in Nazareth. The large bear that was shot will probably be sent to Scranton. Mr. Hazelton's dog has treed eleven raccoons this fall and they were all kill ed. One caught last Friday night weigh ed a trifle over 15 pounds. After killing all this big game there is some chance for small game to grow. WHEN THE ENGINE COMES is no time to be regretting your neglect to get insured.
