Child Fatally Injured While
Parents Escape With
Slight Injury.

Tuesday evening as Mr.. and Mrs. W.
C. Brennaman, of Thurmont, were re-
turning from Baltimore they met with
an accident, a rear wheel going to pieces.
The machine upset and injured their
youngest child SO badly that it died sew
ersl hours later.
The report of the affair as published
in the Frederick Post is as accurate as
we can give, Mr.. and Mrs. Brennaman
and four children leaving Thurmont early
Wednesday morning for Baltimore, to
which place their child WAS taken for
burial.
The Post says:
pinned beneath an overturned Ford
automobile, Omar Pencoast Brennaman,
two-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. c.
Brennaman of Thurmont. was killed and
his parents injured, near West Friend
ship, Howard county. early Tuesday ev-
ening. The family (Mr. and Mrs. Bren-
naman and child) was enroute home from
Baltimore, where they had spent the day
when the accident occurred.
'The skull of the child was fractured
and the side of it's head laid open. 1t
died in the Frederick City Hospital an
hour after beigh brought there in the
Baltimore Frederick bus run by Hugh S.
Willis. The father was badly bruised
across the upper part of the legs and was
cut about the head. The mother was
bruised on one leg.
"The accident was caused by the ma
chine skidding on the slippery road which
had just been oiled few hours previous
ly. The front wheel broke off Cleft rear
wheel we are told) and the car turned
turtle into yard of farmer. All were
pinned beneath the car. The child was
completely underneath the machine.
Residents in the vicinity hearing the
crash and the cries of the injured, rush
to the scene and lifted the vehicle from
them. Among the early arrivals was
DR.. John w. Hebb of W. Friendship who
rendered first aid and bandaged the head
of the infant. The child upon arriving
at the hospital was place on the operat-
ing table, and although physicians work
ed on it for an hour, nothing could be
done to save its life. 1t was stated at
the hospital that it's skullwas badly frac-
tured and that it was remarkable that
the child survived as long as it did
Mr.. Charles Brennaman, the oldest
son, was notified of the accident while at
the Class Day exercises at Town Hall,
and left Immediately for Frederick in
L. R. Waesche's automobile, the two
younger boys remaining at home. The
daughter, Miss Sarah, was in Baltimore.
The accident was shock to the COM
munity, and the sympathy of all go to
the bereaved family.

New Baggage Law In Force.

New Baggage Law In Force.
Beginning yesterday the travelling man
or woman who carries more than 500
worth Of baggage on railroad journey

ity in either the transportation of bag
gage or f.eight.
Travellers hereafter will be required to
declare value of baggage. Forms for
the purpose will be supplied by the rail-
roads. If the baggage is valued at more
than $l0O the traveller will be required to
pay 10 cents for each excess unit of $lOO
or fraction thereof. A penalty is attach
ed which makes the owner liable to fine
if the correct value is not given.

Seventeen. Year Locusts.
Brood vi to Appear in Eastern
States This Year.

oUdtCS nlS OOAs
A circular received from the U 5. De-
partment of Agriculture at Washington
last week says:
Brood vi of the cicada, commonly
known as the seventeen-year locust, Is
expected to appear in May and June this
year in scattered localities covering much
of the northern and central States lying
between the Hudson and Mississippi
rivers, extending along the Appalachian
elevated plateau in northern Georgia and
South Carolina. This particular brood
made it's last appearance in this territory
in 1888.
"The seventeen-year locust covers In
its range nearly all of the United States
from the Mississippi Valley eastward.
The curious feature of its regular peri
odic appearances and its long subterra-
mean life give it perhaps the greatest
popular interest which attaches to any
insect on this continent, and lead to many
inquiries with every temperance OF any
important brood. There are two races
of this insect: () the seventeen-year
race, which occurs in II different broods
over the northern and central United
States, and (2) the thirteen-year race,
which occurs in different broods through
out the southern States from Texas east
ward. When any Of these broods are
characterized by great swsrms they
naturally cause fears for safety of trees
The actual damage. however, is slight
and is accomplished by the female cicada
when she cuts the bark of the tree in
the deposition of her eggs.
"While the expected brood is not an
important one, it covers q much wider
territory than any of the other seven
teen-year broods According to the
records, the number of locusts to be- ex-
pected over most of this territory is not
great t, except in the Northwest and the
Southeast"
A table giving the States and counties
in which the locusts will appear is given,
and according to this, Maryland will not
be greatly affected. only Carroll, Cecil,
Montgomery, Prince George and Wash
ington counties being named. Frederick
county being surrounded by infected
counties will likely come in for her share
of insects.
This far we have heard but one faint
"Pharaoh" song made by one of these
locusts this summer, that being Monday
morning when the sun came out bright.
Probably the cool weather has kept them
from emerging from their long resting
places.

Killed Big Snakes.

One day last week while along the
Western Maryland railroad about mile
east of Deerfeld, Mr.. Rob't Egenbrode,
section boss, and Mr.. Dunot, Claim
Agent for the w. M, left the bed of the
road and went into the bushes nearby to
get some very pretty laurel flowers, the
latter wishing to take them to his home
in Baltimore.
Mr.. Eigenbrode heard rustic in the
dry leaves and upon looking saw big
black snake crawling along. Bob looked
for club and while looking spied an
other snake. Securing club Bob killed
both reptiles while Mr.. Demot stood at
attention" at safe distance. The first
snake measured So feet and the second
6a feet in length.
After securing the flowers Mr.. Dunot
departed. Later as the section men were
going down the track they noticed some
thing on the track and after the car
passed the object they stopped. Bob
armed with shovel went to the myster-
ious looking object which happened to be
another black snake. A well directed
blow put this one out of business. On
m measuring it was found to be 7 feet 8
inches in length. Bob says it was as
large around as his arm.
Coming down the track slowly to a
nearby house, the attention of the Sec
ton men was attracted by several child
rem screaming. The car was stopped
and Bob asked the trouble. The children
said big snake was at the house and
mother was afraid of it. Armed with
shovel again Bob went to the scene, but
the mother had picked up courage and
killed the snake. This one was the length
of shovel or about S feet.
Mr.. Eigenbrode has killed many snakes
along the track, but says these are the
largest he ever saw. Copper and rattle
snakes are mostly found along the rail-
road by the section men and usually later
in the summer when they cut the grass
along the banks of the road.

DOyS ldhc NOtlCCs
1t has been quite while since mention
was made in this paper of the conduct
permitted at Town Hall, but it seems
that conditions have improved but little.
The Commissioners are now taking a
hand in the game-read their adv. in
this issue-and some body likely will be
relieved of their coin if change for the
better is not made. The above applies
to those who attend the "movies. 3"
While it is not pleasant to inform the
officers of the conduct of any certain
person, yet it is about time that a change
be made for the better.
The latest stunt pulled off by some
person overfowing with fun was to throw
a substance in powder form in the Town
Hall windows. The audience was given
a dose Tuesday evening. Coughing and
sneezing followed.
