Cranberry Items.

The gust that passed over this section Fri
day, 2Stli ultimo, gave us dashing rain; the
creeks overaowed their banks and the
meadows and low lands were flooded. In
Cranberry and Baehman's Valleys, fences
and some bridges were swept away by the high
waters. Great cutters were torn in fields and
roads; some roads are washed so that travelling
is almost dangerous.
Farmers complain that their young fruit
trees were ruined by the rabbits during the
snow last month; yet, there is a rumor that
there should be an amendment to the game
law 10 prohibit the killing of rabbits. The
farmer, who must be content and support the
hare, think that this would be "a wrong amend
ment. The present game law is all right for
Carroll county.

TO REBUILD AT ONCE.
The Lines of the western Maryland Tele-'
phone to Be Made First Class.

The work of clearing Tie debris of the
wreck by sleet of the N.stern Maryland Tele-
phone Company has been completed, and the
work of rebuilding begun. As stated last
week the Baltimore line was first opened, and
now temporary service will be put in opera
ton in this city Mr.. II. Z. Muriy is here to
cooperate with Superintendent Myers, and
plans are completed to connect up all phones
at once. The local force will be augmented
today by seven men from Hanover. The
temporary service will be completed in few
days, and it is hoped the patrons will bear
with it for two weeks until the permanent
lines can be arranged. The temporary SER
vice will have several persons on line, and
business houses will be connected first. The
permanent equipment will include new switch
boards and aerial cables, doing away with the
multiplicity of wires that have been strung
across streets and alleys, and will remove any
danger from wires coming in contact with cleo
trict wires. The system will be up to date in
all particulars, as only the best materials will
be used. Gables will be strung to accommo-
date fifty more patrons than the Company
now has, and the lines in the county will be
extended. Among the extensions will be
lines built 10 connect directly with the sys-
TENS in Frederick and Washington counties,
and then with the Pennsylvania systems.
The citizens CT Westminster and Carroll,
we are sure, remembering that the local com
pany first gave wide and prompt telephone
service in this city and county, occupying a
field no other company would cover, will en-
dure inconvenience few weeks longer until
the new system is completed. And when it
is finished it will be equal to the best service
anywhere, and will be complete throughout
the county.
Mr., Thomas J. O'Neil, the Secretary of
the Company, who has had nine years expe-
rience in telephone management, was here on
Thursday to confer with the directors and
stockholders, will give the rebuilding much
personal attention.
