I The American Fraternal Association aid the death claim of the late E. E. pwler two days after his death. I The Christmas numberof theAitoii- IU.D Citizen is printcd'on book paper, id is in every way creditable not only i P. A. Philbin, editor and proprietor, lut to the advertising enterprise of the Merchants of that thriving borough. The 'sue is entirely a home product, and is Ifine specimen of the "art preservative." So lar as we know Honesdale has as let taken no active part in the Red The dwelling house of Clark Du mond, at Starlight together with moBt of ita contents, was destroyed by fire on Wednesday last, Dec. 16th. The prop erty was insured for $150 on the build ing and $300 on the furniture in the Wayne County" Farmers' Mutual Co. The fire is supposed to have resulted from the burning out of the chimney. The officers of the Honesdale Bap tist Bible school for the ensuing year are F. H." Trask, Superintendent ; It. D. Minch, Assistant ; Miss Leila Ridd, Sec retary ; Geo. B. Perham, Treasurer and Chorister; Miss Nellie Kimble, Librarian; Misses Bertha Pflume and Gladys Man tle, Pianists. A Christmas program has been arranged and will be given on New Years night. William Madlock, of Hawley, was brought to Honesdale on Monday of last week on a commitment to the county jail by Justice W. B. Ammerman, in order that an examination may be made as to his mental condition. He claims to be the President-elect, although for some time he haa been employed as a hostler at the Park View hotel. It will probably be found necessary to send him to an asylum. On tbe previous Satur day Esquire Ammerman sent up William Moran, on a thirty-days commitment for drunkenness and vagrancy. Word has been received by the police authorities of New York that the man arrested in Los Angeles, Cal., about a week ago as "Kid" Regan, has been identified as the man sought by the local authorities for four years for the murder of Roy Joyce in Toby's cafe on Sixth avenue, in the Tenderloin. The message came from Lieutenant -J. J. Fogarty, who had been sent to Los Angeles to identify tlie prisoner. Regan will be broughtto New York, but a con viction of murder is considered unlikely, as the witnesses to the stabbing have been lost sight of completely during the past few years. Joyce was stabbed for interfering in a fight between a man and a woman of the Tenderloin. The best Christmas tree holder on the market for sale by Erk Brothers. Chris. Schroeder, Jr., manager of the N. Y. Amusement Co., who has completely renovated and rendered up-to-date the large auditorium and adjoin ing rooms on Sixth street, adjoining the National Hotel, known as Oneida Hall, opened it as a place of amusement on Monday evening last. He designs mak ing it popular as a Vaudeville theatre, in which only first class performances will be permitted, and only respectable and well-behaved people admitted to seats. For the present the main feature will be popular moving pictures, which will be exhibited at popular prices of admission. Manager Schroeder has in stalled one of the world-famous Ludwig pianos, purchased of'W. .J." Mclntyrc. The following are the officers of Violet Kebckah Lodge, No. 119, 1. O. O.

The regular meeting of the Wayne County Medical Society was held at the Allen House, Honesdale, Tuesday after noon, December 17th, Dr. R. W. Brady occupying the chair. Other members present were Drs. A. M. Cook, of South Canaan; A. C. Voigt, of Hawley; C. G. Corson, of Rileyville; and Drs. Burns, Ely, Griffin, McConvill, Nielsen and Reed, of Honesdale. After the business session, papers were read on "Arterio sclerosis," by Dr. W. B. Kenworthy, of Milford, Pike Co., and "Dementia Pre cox," by Dr. A. C. Voigt, of Hawley. Dr. R. W. Brady discussed the X Ray and Electricity in Diagnosis and Treat ment. After passing a vote of thanks to the Allen House management for the generous courtesy shown the Society, the meeting adjourned. The Latkawanna Bible society cele brateu its hfty-seconu anniversary on Sunday last. It has done exceptionally well as compared with the other societies The Wayne County Savings Bank haa been .designated by Judge Archbald na the legal depository for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for funds of estates in bankruptcy. The Sc ronton Times generously an nounces that it will give to ita newsboys all the profits made on their sales Christ mas eve, as it wanta them to have a chance to secure pocket money for the great holiday. At the State Convention of the Pa trons of husbandry held at Altoona re cently, Theodore M. Klein, of Lake, this county, was elected steward, to serve for two years. Other State officers choser. for this section are Worthy Master, W.T. Creasy, of Columbia county; Chaplain, Rev. J. W. Thompson, Susquehanna, and Pomona, Mrs. Anna Porst, Lacka wanna. Charles A. Endres, an Erie employee, had both legs cut off at Shohola, on Tuesday of last week. He was caught between two cars while switching, and falling with his legs across a rail, the wheels passed over them, severing one below the knee and mangling the other so badly as to necessitate amputation at the hip. He was 23 years old, and lived at Jersey City Heights until quite re cently. The jury in the case of Mrs. Mary S. Roper against the Ulster County Agri cultural Society, in which she sued for $25,000 damages, for her involuntary balloon ascension at the Ellenville fair, in August, 1000, awarded her $1,000, which verdict also carries the coste, es timated at $200. The Ellenville Press and Journal denounce the verdict as an outrageous one, and practically stigma tize the jury as a party of balloonatics. John Parkos, who a few days since amused himself by smashing a large plate glass window in the handsome drug store of Fred. J. Herbst, in Milford, pleaded guilty on being taken before Esquire Ludwig, and was sent to jail to await trial at the next term of court. It developed at tjie hearing that he had been arrested for a similar offense in Monroe county only three days before. The real name of the offender is James Tyrrell. We commend the Mildred and Rou clere entertainment to amusement lovers, wherever their itinerary may 'take the Company. Every member of the com bination is an artist, and every number on their program is alone worth the price of admission. The sleight of hand performances of Harry Rouclere in the first part, and the telepathic seance "Mildredism" in Act II, were simply marvelous. All of the specialty per formers were the recipients'of abundant applause, and responded to repeated en cores and curtain calls. The orchestral music was very fine. ' PERSONAL.
