Telephone Connection.

Arrangements have been made
whereby on March 1st the Cecil
Farmers Telephone Co. will assume
control of the Diamond State
phones on the latter's exchange at
Rising Sun and the exchange dis
continued. Free interchange of
service between the patrons of each
company will be given all sub
scribers on the Rising Sum-. Port
Deposit and Perryville exchanges.
A toll rate of ten cents will pre-
vail from either of these points to
Elkton, Chesapeake City and North
East.
By this arrangement AL duplicate
phones in this section will be taken
out, as the one service will cover all
points heretofore reached by both
companies. Outside of the inter
change of service by switchboard
connections, the two companies will
still be as separate and distinct as
heretofore.
A room is. being fitted up on the
second floor of the Hunt building,
which will be occupied by the
Cecil Farmers Telephone Co., after
March 25, for their exchange. Out
side Steps have been erected on the
north side of the building, leading

Conowlngo Bridge To Be Rebuilt.

1t is asserted that the recon
struction of the Conowingo bridge
is assured.
In the contention over the route
for the improved highway in Cecil
county, the question was raised at
the last hearing before the State
Roads Commission of the possi-
bility of a bridge ever being built
across the Susquehanna at Como
wingo. AS the roads are laid out,
an improved highway through
Cecil on the north is to meet road
of the same kind through Hartford,
completing connections with Balti-
more city.
At the last session of the General
Assembly charter was granted
for the construction of bridge at
Conowingo to, take the place of the
one partly destroyed by fire. When
the charter was granted the Sus-
quehanna Power Company, the
Mccall Power Company, the old
Bridge Company and the new
Bridge Company entered into an
agreement whereby all the rights
involved were to be turned over to
the new Bride Company in case the
Conowingo bridge was not built by
August 15, 1909. Construction
work has not been commenced, so
the new Bridge Company, in which
Charles A. Andrew, Edward Allen,
Hugh Jones, Omar Crothers,
Michael Fahey and others are in
terested, is assuming that nothing
will be done.
As soon as the time limit ex-
pires the charter provided that the
new Bridge Company shall appoint
one arbiter and the other parties
interested a second who together
shall name third, to act as a
board to determine the value of
the portion of the bridge left stand
ing by the fire. AS soon as this is
determined and settlement made
the new Company can go ahead
with the construction of the new
bridge.

Charles McDougal.

Stricken with apoplexy Charles
McDougal. well known resident
of this District, fell dead at his
home near West Nottingham,
about $50 o'clock Sunday morn.
ing, 21st inst. While not in the
best of health Mr.. McDougal still
did active work about his farm and
had been in Rising Sun the eve
ming previous, where he attended
an entertainment in the hall. Sun
day morning he was preparing to
mix bucket of feed for the pigs
when he fell to the floor of the
kitchen. His son William has.
tened to him and placed him upon
the lounge. Medical aid was sum-
moned but the stricken man had
evidently died instantly.
The deceased was 65 years of age
and is survived by one son and
one daughter William McDougal,
who lives on the home place, and
Mrs. Joseph Smith of Rising Sun.
A brother and a sister also sur
vive,-W. j. McDougal and Mrs.
Samuel Smith, of this town. An
odd coincidence is that the de-
ceased was married in the month of
February, and the death of his
wife occurred also in February
about five years ago. The funeral
was held from his late residence on
Wednesday morning, with inter-
ment at BroOkview cemetery.
