CONOWINGO CURRENT FOR THE
PENNSY

Another link in the plans for the
electrification of all the Pennsylvania
Railroad lines in this territory has
been established with the announce
ment of the signing of contract be-
tween the Philadelphia Eectric Com
pany and the Pennsylvania Railroad,
which calls for the electric genera
ton of the Philadelphia and Will
mington and the Philadelphia and
West Chester divisions of the rail-
road.
The contract covers a minimum
term of twenty years, and not only
provides for the present electrifica-
ton, its proposed extensions, as out
lined above, but also for all future
electrification upon it's lines in this
territory.
The power for the propulsion of
the electric trains will be supplied at
1920 volts, 25 cycle, single phase,
and the energy will be generated by
the Philadelphia Electric Company
at so cycles and then converted to
rs cycles.
The Philada. Electric Company
announced an agreement last Febru-
ary to form gigantic power pool
with the Pennsylvania Power and
Light Company. When completed
the approximate total of 100000
horsepower of the two companies
will form the largest power pool in
the world.
The new hydro-electric plant of
the Philadelphia Electric Company
at Conowingo and the numerous
steam plants are to be connected
with the mine-mouth plants at Sun
bury, the hydro-electric plant at
Wallenpaupack, the steam and other
plants of the Pennsylvania Power
and Light Every Even

FIRE COMPANY CARNIVAL
Rain Spoils Opening-Parade Draws
Large Crowd

Large Crowd
The opening of the Community
Fire Company carnival, in this town,
on Friday evening last, was spoiled
by rain, that drove the crowd from
the grounds about nine o'clock and
stopped business in a hurry.
Saturday evening was more prom
ising, and large browd assembled,
but trouble developed with the cleo
trio lights, and little business could
be done, the grounds being in dark
ness most of the time, save for lights
from the automobiles. Rain finally
put an end to things.
Monday evening fair sized
crowd was in attendance, but on
Tuesday evening there was regular
outpouring to see the parade that
formed east of town, and headed by
Marshal Taylor R. Biles, on horse
back, moved over East Main street,
to Queen, to the railroad station,
where the line counter marched to
Main street, and thence to the
grounds.
The parade was one of the best
ever held here, in connection with
the carnivals, the various fire COM
panies, in uniform and with glitter
ing equipment, presenting fine ap-
pearence and drawing applause all
along the line of march from the
ncc h 1nh
streets.
In line were the following organi-
cations: Community Fire Company
Band; Abingdon Fire Company, with
apparatus; Bel Air, with apparatus;
Aberdeen, with apparatus; Chester
town with apparatus, Chesapeake
City, with apparatus; Kennett
Square, fife and drum corps and ap-
.paratus; Oxford, marching club and
apparatus; Perryville, with appara-
lus; Port Deposit, with apparatus;
Elkton, band and apparatus; North
East, band and apparatus; Rising
Sun, two pieces of apparatus.
The judges were Major Baldwin,
Of Elk Mills; State Senator Cecil
Clyde Squire, of Port Deposit, and
4. M. Duyckinck, of Rising Sun.
They viewed the parade as it passed
Center Square and later announce
ment of the following prize awards
was made by Senator Squire, from
the band stand, on the carnival
grounds:
North East, most men in line, sill
YER bowl.
Chestertown, coming longest dis
ance, silver vase.
Oxford, best equipment, silver
vase, The Oxford Company had
their big new pumper, which is a
handsome piece of apparatus, and
his was its first public appearance.
Elkton best band, silver cup.
Kennett Square, best appearance,
silver pitcher.
The crowd on the grounds was
immence, and we have heard it var
iously estimated at all the way from
1000 to 5000 people.

them,-1200 or 1900, we are told,-
with the parking arrangement so ad-
mirably handled by those who had
it in charge that machine could
get out at any time, and we did not
hear of an accident.
That the crowd was large one is
evidenced by the receipts for the
evening, which were $2,179.36.
Music for the carnival is being fur
nished each evening by the Com
munity Fire Company Band and
their playing has been much enjoyed
and afavorably commented on by
those in attendance.
Owing to the adverse weather con-
ditions met thus far, it has been de-
cided to continue the carnival on
Monday and Tuesday evenings of
next week.
