THE DANGER. FOR ELECTRIC

be greater than for the people passing
in teams? Even a great corporation like
the Boston & Maine should be careful
how it stood in the way of little road
like this.
AS to the objection that the map filed
is incomplete, Mr.. Hale said it was
quite clear, and no objection had been
made to it.
The point as to the indefniteness of de
scription in regard to the Ocean street
road, Mr.. Hale dismissed as techni
cality.
AS to the question of allowing COM
pany to use the general law when the
legislature had already chartered one by
special law Mr.. Hale held that there was
a serious constitutional question wheth-
er they ought, being a company invest
ing thousands Of dollars, to go ahead
under a special charter when a general
organization can be obtained
Judge Robinson-"What are you going
to do on the Portland end?''
Mr.. Hale-'sWe are going to do as the
situation arises? We have to have gen
eral law to get over tide water
Judge Robinson-"H How much tide
water is there between Cross street and
Portland bridge?'
Mr.. Hale replied that there was none
but that the gentlemen who We're push
ing forward this enterprise, men like
Capt. Winslow, should not have improper
motives attributed to them.
Mr.. Hale said that for
SOME SUBMARINE REASON
all sorts of objections were being, put in
the way of this road. Learned counsel
were appearing against it, and petitions
were being fled to delay it.
Mr.. Winslow said he felt that Captain
Winslow, Capt. Boyd, himself and others
promoting this enterprise, had right
to be offended at the tone which had
been used to them. They had been ac-
cused of sliding QUIT from under obi
cations when in really they were giving
up privileges. Under the legislative
charter the road need not run beyond
Willard in winter. Under the general law
the whole line had to be operated in
winter if the municipal officers SO decid-
ed. In general the general act is much
more restricted than the special Also on
the subject OF paving, the local authori-
ties had ample power to act.
The making of double track road
shows the good faith of the projectors
They believed it is to become a great
road, with a great traffic. And when
that road is graveled it will be better for
carriages than any other roads there,
and carriages will seek it out.
Mr.. Hale then argued at length that all
questions as to the place of the track in
the road, double or single tracks, paving,
ETC., were for the determination OF local
| officers and not the railroad commission
ers.
| Quite controversy as to the location OF
the road, Mr.. Hale arguing that IL neeo
be made only in general terms. But all
the commissioners held that it should be
made with course, distances, etc. There
upon Mr.. Hale produced new map
Mr.. Hale said that the rich and those
who had horses had opposed electrle
roads; but the masses wanted them, and
should have them

county commissioners supposed they
were granting permission to SO empty q

theyswould have objected most strenuous
ly.
Then also the Saco road was county
road, and threre would soon, if this pro
ceeding was to be allowed, be petition
to have it widened at the county expense
These gentlemen who obtained the
special charter have already acted on it
and now should not be allowed tt

free themselves from their responsible
ties.
Moreover, there was now petition tt
have the Portland bridge widened, bu
if it was to be used by so poor a corpora
ton as the one operating under the pri
vate charter, there would be grave doub
about allowing the widening.

Rather Odd.

A well wisher of the democrat party of
Cecil, who, after expressing considerable
uneaslness through the Perryville Record
say;
AS the matter now stands there is
nothing ahead of us but defeat / have
made it my business to interview a
number of our voters, and it is the general
opinion that we must come to some under
standing as to what course we are to pur-
sue in our primary election"
After continuing at some length in a
similar vein he makes the singular declara-
ton;
The affairs of Cecil county never were
IN more prosperous condition"
This being true what is the cause of all
the decentralization in the party which the
correspondent depicts? To be logical
there is but one conclusion San be Ieached.
The people are tired of "the affairs of the
County" being in so prosperous condi.
ton"
Old Hudibras said about two-hundred
years ago
Lest man suspect your tale untrue
Keep pIaLahili!y in view"
The people are surely not tired Of
prosperous affairs of Cecil county"

How to Get Rid of Rats.

A gentleman who has expert
mented and insists that he knows
what he is talking about, says that
it is possible entirely to clear pre-
misses of rats by a simple device.
One must have trap that will
catch a live rat. 1t is good plan
to chloroform the creature, as then
there is no danger of getting bitten,
and the bite of a rat is sometimes a
very troublesome thing.
Then a tiny, tinkling bell is
fastened around the rats neck 10y
a fine, strong chain or wire, with
the ends securely twisted, so that
the rat may neither slip the collar
off nor be caught in any place that
it may attempt to crawl through.
In a few minutes it will recover
from the effects of the chloroform,
when it should be turned loose in
the cellar, or whatever building one
chooses to clear of these trouble
some tenants.
The noise of the bell frightens it,
and it rushes instinctively toward
its comrades, and they in turn be-
come frightened, ana panic takes
possession of the entire colony.
This is certainly a good way to
Danish rats.
1t is suggested that similar
experiment be tried ON the ground
mole. These creatures are said to
be extremely sensitive to noise, and
the tinkling of a bell through
underground ways might be the
means of driving them out of the
neighborhood. At all events, it is
worth trying.
