Escape From Death We'd
neSday Evening.

John Gum, a young man who was
building concrete silo on the d. L,
Grinter farm near Julien. and three
negro workmen with him, had mar
row escapes from death Wednesday
evening. The roof they were put
ting on gave way and fell with them
a distance of az feet.
Mr.. Gum was badly shaken up.
but escaped without serious injuries.
Isaiah Jones, COL, had one of his
jawbones broken in two places and
was perhaps internally injured. The
other two men escaped unhurt. The
wooden frame for making the con.
crete top fell to the concrete floor of
the silo and it is almost miracle
that the men were not all killed.

The entire world has been secured
BY special Barnum and Bailey
agents so that practically all the
arenic stars that are really worth
seeing take part.
The time-honored custom has al
ways been to refer TO each successive
years circus as bigger and better
than ever" but the phrase has be-
come so backneyed that. this year
Bsrnum aud Bailey hesitate to use
it, despite the fact that it adequate
ly describes the entertainment.
More railroad cars are required to
transport the show, bigger tents ore
raised. more area is needed to &C.
commodate the show than ever be-
fore. In fact. the circus has reached
point where it is the despair Of
many of the smaller railroads and
taxes their facilities to the limit. for
eighty-five cars are needed TO con-
vey the gigantic canvas city from
town to town.
There's material enough 10 this

of war elephants. trained and shown
by the first and only lady elephant
trainer. Besides these. are 60
riders. 60 acrobats and 80 clowns.
A wonderful prelude to this great
circus is the presentation Of the new.
magnificent. spectacular pageant.
''Lalla Rookh" Ia which more than
1000 characters take part. Every
one should get an early start on cir
Gus day ia order to be there in time
for the parade which starts at 10

THURSDAY, MAY ID, 1918.
Cancel The Contract.

Nearly year ago when the town en-
tered into contract with the II. 4 +.
railway to furnish auxiliary power to
the town, the town authorities not see
ing their way clear to enter into this con-
tract unless they saw money in equlva-
lent to the minimum required by the
Railway Company coming in from light
and power sold by the town, sought the
Union Manufacturing Company to get
them to take the equivalent and to that
end entered into contract with SAID
Union Company for power for their knit
ting mill at Thurmont.
The contract was signed, sealed and
delivered but up to this time the Union
Company has utterly failed to live up to
it's side of the bargain. although the town
has been ready and willing to furnish the
current from about October l, 1914.
There is nothing in this contract that
called for the furnishing of anything
other or different from what the town
itself manufactured, but the Union Com
pany proceeded to insist upon something
different to be furnished to it and as d
consequence the town has received ne
revenue from this source.
As IL matter of good business for the
town it is just as we'll for the Union Go
would not pay the town profit and for
this reason it is of little Importance. but
we here and now make the point that
this contract should be forthwith Cancelled,
as YOU have no business to have con-
tract such as this is outstanding and
which if executed would bring you in no
profit from the sale of current, there
fore, cancel it and if the Union Co. at
any time desires to have you furnish
their plant with electric energy you will
be in position to get at least what our
sister town of Emmitsburg gets from
this same Company and which will yield
a profit to the town.
This is a matter of business, gentle
men, SO don't put it off and wait "foI
another Board to take it off of your
hands.

There will be musical treat in store
for all those who will go and hear Herr
Peter Peters at Town Hall on Friday
night. We do not, as rule, care to
speak in advance of any public perform
ance as being out of the ordinary, but in
this case the performance will be of such
character that no lover of string music
can afford to miss it. This artist has
been heard by the Editor of The CLARION
on number of occasioes and it is for
that reason that he is able to speak so
positively of his ability as "master"
OF the cello. We urge everyone who
can, to go.
