Last Sunday evening Mr.. Harry Freeze
and son Maynard, wishing to take drive
hitched up spirited sorrel horse and
started out. Soon after starting they
found a backing strap was not fastened.
The road was gradual down grade and
when Mr. Freeze would try to stop the
horse the buggy would run against the
animal. Thus it kept going, and Mr..
Freeze, in order to come to a stop pulled
the horse against a palng fence at Mr.,
John Peddicord $ residence, but the horse
made a spring and came down on top Of
the palings. The fence had to be torn
down to get the horse away. No injury
resulted to the horse and the only dam
age done was that to the fence-four of
the paling tops being broken.

Baltimore, Md, June 4, 1909.
Editor CLARION
The Frederick County Colony of Bal
timore and vicinity held its last weekly
meeting last night. In future our meet
ings will be held the first Thursday night
of each month. The meeting last night
also mark ed the close of the list of Chart
err members, and we did more than we
set out to accomplish. Our aim was to
have 100 names as charter members, and
after the smoke cleared away it was
found we had l03 members, which We
all think very good considering the short
time we have been organized. The &C.
casion was fittingly observed by having
several speeches, interspersed with music
after which refreshments were served.
Col. Geo. w. F. Vernon gave rather a
detailed account of the part Frederick
county has taken in the historical devel-
opment of our country, especially men
tioning that 1t was Frederick countan
who nominated the first President of the
United States; of the part the Frederick
Rifemen played at the defeat by Gen.
Washington, of the British at Brooklyn
Heights; that in two consecutive years
Frederick county produced more wheat
than any other county in the United
States; also some of the great men she
has sent FORTH notable among which are
Francis Scott Key, author of our Nation
al anthem, the Star Spangled Banner,
and Winfield Scott Schley, the hero OF
Santiago. Mr. Chas. F. Linthicum spoke
in more of humorous vein, and his re-
marks were highly pleasing. We were
to have had the BentZtown Bard with US
but he was not well enough to attend.
The meeting was well attended, and al
expressed themselves as well pleased
with our results, and the entertainment
furnished. We now have all parts of the
county represented, and have members
of all ages from 18 up to "a years, the
oldest member being Peter Ross, form
erly of Frederick city. One seventh o.
our membership are repre- e ltatlves OF
Thurmont.
The question of taking in ladies', eithel
as active members or as an auxiliary
branch, is being considered owing to thu
many requests from ladies to join will
US, and as our organization is solely socia
can see no reason why it will be carried
through. Sincerely yours,

Hauled 1000 70 prnmar Park

Memorial day at Ponmar was the scene
Of tho usual crowd. EXcursionists from
York, Hanover, Baltimore, Hancock,
Higerstown and other places were there
and had possession of the park
The c., g. & W. st. Ky. Co. had a
very busy day. Its service was of a su-
pcrior order. A l5-minute schedule was
maintained throughout the afternoon and
up until midnight. During that entire
time delay of only half an hour was eX-
perienced. This was because Of boy
who was at the trolley office not under
standing "a message sent him by General
Manager K. ID. Seton from Penmar.
Sevtnty-siX cars We're run into Penmar
and 5000 persons were hauled to the
mountain.
The value Of the telephone on the line
was demonstrated, when, on several oc-
casions, delays and confusion We're avoid
ed by messages to various points.
The cars we've frequently run to the
mountain as double-h headers and often
came back in gangs Of tir e. In this
way large crowds were quickly handled.
About s O'Clock the lights at Pen-M Mar
we're eXtinguished, but We're shortly in
service. The cause of the trouble was a
burned out fuse.
Manager Seton is to be congratulated
upon his work Monday. He was in the
Office during the day and at PeN-Mar in
the evening and controlled the move
ments of the cars 50 thoroughly that,
with the single exception noted, there
was not the least delay.
The employees ali deserve credit for
their hearty co-opera ton with the gen
eral manager in the work of the day.
Every one seemed anxious to contribute
his best effort to carrying out the plans
made for the day and everybody was OF
material assistance.
| The excellent results of the new meth
DDS will insure very prompt handling OF
the big crowds that use the trolley this
season. - WayneSdor0 Record.
