Resolutions On The Death OF
Rev. w. L. Martin.

WHEREAS, the Great Ruler of the uni
verse has, in His infinite wisdom, remov-
ed from our midst our worthy and esteem
ed brother, Rev. William l. Martin, and
WHEREAS, the intimate relation held
during long religious duty and service
rendered by him to the church as well as
to the community at large, makes. it fit
ting that we record our appreciation of
him as an ardent laborer in the service
of the Master, and
WHEREAS, he was loyal and patriotic
citizen of his country, defending it's honor
in time of war and in peace, thus exem-
plifying a devotion to his country, his
home and his felowman, and
WHEREAS, he joined hands with US in
his unselfsh devotion to the cause of
humanity as public spirited man, as an
honored and faithful minister of the Cos
pei, as brave and patriotic soldier and
as a liberal and unselfish Christian gen.
tleman, as devoted husband and kind
father, impressing his useful life upon
the church, the country and entire COM
munity and all those who knew him best,
making his noble life stand out as
splendid example worthy of emulation,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the sudden removal of
our faithful and beloved brother from our
midst, who was secretary and treasurer
of the Board of Trustees of our local
church, and also who was the beloved
pastor of many of the charges of the
Maryland and Pennsylvania Conference
of the United Brethren in Christ for more
than thirty five years, leaves vacancy
and loss that is deeply realized by all
members of the Board and the Confer
ence, as well as the members of his
family, church, and entire community.
Resolved, That with deep sympathy for
the grief stricken widow and children of
the deceased, we express an earnest hope
that even so great bereavement may
be over-ruled for their highest good.
While the portals of the tomb open to
receive our loved one, yet these resolu-
tions testify that his name is not forgot
ten and the noble deeds that crowned his
life are still remembered.
RESOLVED, That while with the faith of
holy man of God he bid adieu to home,
church and loved ones, yet we firmly be-
lieve that he entered upon that life which
remaineth for the people of God.
Resolved, That the above resolutions
shall be published in the Thurmont

Communications Addressed
to the Editor,

THE CLARION desires it to be distinct
ly understood that it is not responsible
for the views and opinions expressed in
letters appearing under this head.
To the President and Board of Com
missioners of Thurmont-
We do hereby. as citizens and tax
payers, earnestly request to have your
attention in regard to our street known
as Water street. We as citizens think
it shame and disgrace to the town and
citizens, in allowing this street in such a
condition as it is at present. 1t is bad
for man or beast to pass on this street
or Sidewalk, and not only dangerous, but
will without a doubt, ruin our cement
cutters. And furthermore, it is so bad
that water is running in some peoples
houses in their front doors.
Now as some Of US have to comply with
the rules and regulations, we earnestly
ask our President and Commissioners why
some people can do as they please and do
not have to comply with the rules as
others have to do? Some of our cellars
are half full of water just from our un-
slightly street. All of the citizens on this
street declare it shame and disgrace to
our little city to have it in such condi-
tion as it is in now.
AS for remedying it, it can be done
with but little expense. have called on
the taxpayers on this street and have
spoken to the President of the Board and
they say they are ready to help bear part
of the expense of taking this water down
the alley in the rear of these properties.
The alley is almost ice from one end to
the other.

A Bad Fall.

Last Friday morning Mr.. John Weddle,
brother of Messrs. Joseph and Curtis
Weddle of this place, while on his way
to town, slipped on piece of ice and fell
heavily on the sidewalk. He was unable
to get up, and was assisted to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Clayton Creager and
made comfortable. During the afternoon
he was taken to the Frederick city hos
pital by his physician, DR.. M. A. Birely.
An X-ray examination of his left hip
showed fracture near the joint. He is
getting along nicely but will likely be
housed for some time to come.

Overcome BY Gas.

Last Thursday night Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson Policy and their two sons, Orley
and John, came near losing their lives by
inhaling gas escaping from coal stove
in their home. Mr.. Policy luckily awoke
and smelled the gas. He arose and threw
open window but was unable to arouse
his family. He went at once for a
physician. Mrs. Policy and the boys
were very sick for some time, but were
fully recovered by Friday evening. Mr..
NJ F. Policy who was in the house was
not affected by the gas.

You can't imagine how it feels to be the

posed they just come up close beside you,
whether you are walking or in ricksha,
and give you this stare. But no harm is
meant, it is considered respectful, only
it makes one feel little uncomfortable
at times. But now l must bring my
letter to close or it. will not make the

Taken From Mails.
DecOy Letter Used on Norman
Phillips, 22, of WoOdsborO.
U. S. Grand Jury TO Act.

Charged with taking money from the
United States mails, Norman Phillips,
aged about %, and second assistant post
master at the Woodsboro postoffice, was
arrested Friday evening by Postoffice In
spector Everett Partridge, and after be-
ing in Jail over night was taken to Hag-
erstown Saturday morning for a prelim-
mary hearing before United States Com
missioner Alexander Hagner.
1t is said that for some time money
has been missing from the mail at the
Woodsboro office, and complaint was
made to the department. Three detect
ives were assigned to the work, one of
them being Inspector Partridge. Friday
afternoon on the train to Woodsboro. it
is said, one of the officials placed letter
in the mail sack just before it was thrown
off at Woodsboro, and then followed it
to the Office. In this letter money was
placed. Other officials in the Office were
out, it is reported, and no one remained
but Phillips.
When the letter in question was applied
for it was missing. Then Phillips was
confronted with the accusations against
him. He is reported to have stated that
he knew nothing of the letter, but upon
being searched the marked money was
found upon him, it was stated. 1t is re-
ported that the young man later confess
ed and told his parents about it.
Young Phillips comes from good

postmaster, MIR. Barrick. Friday night
he was taken to Frederick and taken to
Jail and Saturday morning was taken to
Hagerstown for hearing before Com
missioner Hagan. Arrangements were
being made to provide bond for his re-
lease pending the action of the Federal
grand jury.
1t is said that the letter which Phillips
is alleged to have opened and from which
he is alleged to have taken the money,
contained but small sum.

MEDFORD VERSION Of
AUTO WRECK CAUSE

The Medford Tribune, In COM
menting on the cause OF the automo-
bile accident near Medford Sunday
night. when Rex Tuns and Lloyd
Dyer met their tragic death, has
the following;
There are various theories as to
the direct cause of the accident be-
yond the terrific speed at which the
ear was going, Many who were on
the scene of the accident shortly at
ter II happened, after making an on
animation. came to the conclusion
that u front tire burst Others
held to the theory that Just before
the ear reached the curve, Tuffs. who
was driving. realizing that because
OF the grca, speed at which they
were going there was grave danger
In making the curve. may have be-
come ratified and lost control OF the
ear, which then plunged on the high
way,
Anyhow. whatever the cause. the
speeding racing ear left the highway,
which Is six feet above the level OF
the adjoining fields at this point,
hurtled through the air over wire
fence without touching II, 80 feet
into field turned a complete SOM
ersault landed SQuarely on Its
wheels aud then whlrled around and
came to stop facing Medtord,
Il was one OF those peculiar acct
dents where almost any conjecture
might be made to fit.
An odd coincidence In connection
with the accident aud deaths ot the
Young men Is that ON the rear of the
gray painted racing ear. which was
owned by TufIs. the latter some time
ago had painted skull and cross
bones. never dreaming at that time
that he was labelling a ear OF death.
and OF his own coming tragic fate.
The skull and crossboncs we're
conspicuous last night on the rear
OF the wrecked car after the acci-
dent. and caused much comment,
