An Honorable Snowman.
WATER L. MAIN LIVES UP TO HIS
PROMISES.

II Is so rare an occurrence to see a big
show pursue an absolutely honorable
course in advertising, especially as to its
size, that we heartily commend the man
ner in which Walter l.. Mains advance
corps are doing in this city, particularly
rs IT applies to the press. Articles are
not falsely written up and then quoted as
coming from responsible journals where
the show has appeared, but the bona fde
clippings taken just as cut from the col
umhs of the papers quoted from are
placed in the hands of the newspapers
ahead, and the local reporters deal with
each as they deem proper. This is what
The Oil city (Fa) Blizzard. May IL, '9S
says of this big show coming to Burllng-
ton, Monday, Sept. u.
I'VE have been reading lately many
complimentary comments on the greatly
increased size and unqurstlonable merit
of the newly equipped Walter l.. Main
shows now touring the East, but were
agreeably surprised to-day first by the
magnitude of the show as whole as 1t
came IN sections on its elegantly con-
3tructed trains, ana again by its stupen-
dous, clean and novel parade. A show
never presented moro gorgeous pageant.
We visited the grounds later on n bust
ness errand and again met a surprise. The
show is absolutely new throughout, and
covers not only the entire show lots, but
all the streets surrounding them. The
tents at the afternoon performance were
packed with visitors, and the circus pro-
gramme for novelty, great features. com
cay and real refinement eXcels anything
Oil City, Pa, has seen in many years The
Blizzar6 endorses the Walter L. Main
shows to the world in general as the most
meritorious they may possibly ever see,
"A real fashion plate show If ever there
was one"

horrible to behold.
The train of tho Delaware e. Hudson i'm
mCdiatcly after the accident proceeded to
Troy. Tho engineer stated that he did not
see the car until he was upon IL. lie tried
to prevent his train from striking the car
but his efforts were frutlcss. His train
was going at n very high rate of speed
at the time. He was some minutes late
and was trying to make up lost time. In
consequence of the caution taken by the
trolley road to ascertain If the tracks
were clear at this crossing the engineers
OF trains have always felt safe in running
by at high rate of speed. The engineer
says that the first he knew that the car
was near was when 1t hove In sight at the
corner of the street at which the crossing
Is situated. He was but short distance
from the car at tho time. II was utterly
impossible for him to bring his train to
standstill in order to avoid the accident.
lie thinks that the motorman when he
saw the train was upon him tried to get
beyond the danger line. The grade Of this
crossing and the speed at which his car
was going also made II impossible for him
to stop before he reached the Delaware
and Hudson tracks. 1t was the front end
OF his car that caught the crash and he
was Killed outright.
