Everybody noticed yesterday morning
that there was something wrong with the

had ticked away without mi-sing about,
'out when the hands reached tho hour of 1
o'clock yesterday morning th-y ooosed to
move. When daylight came and euger
eyes WSye turned toward the old time
piece, the Inquiry that naturally came
in m many a iin was: "What's tho mntter
with the town clock?"
It didn't take Timekeeper 12. P. (Jross
long to 11 iid out what was tho trouble.
The main rod to tho clock was broken.
Tho reason why it broke was because an
electric wire had been wound ubOUt tho
1 od by one of the employes of the electric
Company, The man doubtless thought it
a .- ie ihiug to do, but it didn't work well,
for as th'i hours posted the strniu on the
r. d bicatno greater, and something had to
pivo way. It was tho rod, und thou the
clock stopped.
Mr. dross snpsrintended tho repairs, and
it wns found hard work. But at 2 in tho
nftl moon tho tusk was completed and tho
clock started on its never ending round.

After leaving Albany, Carey brought
his circus back to BcrantOn nud again gave
exhibitions i the Linden street stand.
Trouble was further caused hy a Mr.
Webb,of Gleu Palls, who appeared upon the
scene ned sued out a writ of replevin for
tho circus tent nud fixtures. Carey was
allowed to go ou giving exhibitions, but
the bad Weather ana other things contin
ued to prevent tho reaping ot a harvest
from tbe sale of tickets, bnt salaries of
thu employes went light ou und utlier bill
kept increasing, and to make matters

doubt Mr, Carey concluded to go away.
At any rate ho could not be found yester

of the employes are penniless, ns their
salaries were largely 111 arrears. Some of
them managed to get away on an evening

Just what tlie extent of Mr. Carey's !n
