HEAVY RAINS.
All Streams Very High And
New Record Established.

Beginning Sunday right rain fell here
almost continuously until late Tuesday
night According to the reports given
out by weather bureaus, the rainfall on
Tuesday exceeded any previous fall since
the establishment of the weather bureau,
Baltimore recording 54S inches.
In this immediate locality all streams
We're overlooking, and for time it look
ed as if much damage would be done by
the stream west of town, but nothing
was hurt.
All trains were ordered to run slow on
account of high water along the tracks
and many arrived late.
Report from Frederick states that Ar
thony Consul, rural mail carrier, in at
tempting to cross swollen stream with
a horse and buggy between Shookstown
and Braddock, was carried 800 feet down
stream. The horse was drowned, the
buggy demolished, the mail lost and Con-
sui saved himself by catching hold of
limb overhanging the stream.
Along the Thurmont Division of the
Frederick railroad from Thurmont to
Lewstown, the track in many places
was covered with water and made run
ming very dangerous.
The water from Hunting creek at the
edge of town ran across the pike, but at
no time was the bridge in danger of be-
ing swept away.
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1912-09-26

1t has been practically decided by Pres
ident Taft to issue in the near future
an order placing all fourth. class post
masters in the classified service.
This order, relieving 36,03S postmas-
ters from the uncertainty of political APP
pointment, will be one of the most COM
prehensive and far-reaching as affecting
he civil service, ever issued by Presi-
lent of the United States.
That the President would take this
step, became almost certain after IA del
ngation Of postmasters, returning from
the annual convention at Richmond, had
been received at the White House last
Monday.
In the entire country there were 40
672 fourth, class postmasters at the end
of the last fiscal year. BY executive or
der, issued nJuly, 1908, President Roose-
welt placed the fourth-class postmasters
of all of the New England States and of
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania A.,
Oeio, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin
in the civil service-a total of Is, 634.
As to the first, second and third classes
of postmasters, legislation by Congress
would be required to place them under
civil service regulations, but the Presi-
dent now has authority, under certain
defined limitations of competency and eff
fciency, to put postmastcrs of the fourth
class under the protection of the civil
service rules.
