Extending Telephone Lines in Carroll.

Mr.. E. L. Miller, of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company, has been in
Carroll this week, working up telephone bust
ness, looking to extending the lines of the
company. He met with reasonable success
at Taneytown, Bruceville and York Road,
and thinks the prospects good for lines to
those points. He also visited New Windsor,
and points between there and this city, and
met with considerable encouragement.
These lines will be built just as soon as the
people will give the company any assurance
that they will support them, and lines will be
extended to Manchester and Union Mills
upon the same assurances
The company desire to have full service in
Carroll and to have all points connected. If
the people will examine into the benefits Of
the telephone, the advantages will readily APP
pear. They annihilate distance, and bring
people together for all practical purposes as
though they were in the same room; they are
valuable in case of Sickness in time of rob-
berry, in time of fire, and save vast amount
of time, money and Inconvenience.

All that maternal smile, it answers yes!

On Monday, the 25th, the Western Club, of
Baltimore, was knocked out by score of 20
to 4. Driscoll occupied the box for the
Westminsters, and though he struck three out
the first inning, two heavy hits and an error
gave them three runs, while the Westminsters
were BANKED. Driscoll then settled to bust
ness and kept the ball between himself and
Nicholas most of the time, no less than six
teen of the visitors striking out, The West
minister's soon gained lead by the errors of
the visitors, but could not hit Shilling to any
effect until the sixth inning, when Miller
started in with three -baser and was followed
by two other hits, making his run, but fine
double play sent out the side. In the next
inning they struck marvellous run OF batting
and made no less than eleven hits, with a
total of eighteen bases, before the inning
closed In the first part of it, with two on
bases, Zepp got in the way of prethly- pitched
ball and knocked it clear over the trees in
right field and both walls of the jail yard into
the garden, making without doubt the longest
drive ever seen on the grounds. A clean
home run was of course the result. In the
same inning Miller and Anders made three
basers to left field, Anders getting home
run on tumble. The visitors changed their
battery the next inning, but it was too late.
Miller, Nicholas and Clabaugh excelled in
the field, accepting every chance, of which
they had a good many. Miller took IN red
hot liner in the eighth inning. Nearly all the
home club did heavy slugging, but Miller and
Anders probably led, The score by innin gs
