TELEPHONE COMPANY
MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
New Cables Hung on Glasgow Street,
GIenburn Avenue And Locust
Street Requirements OF These
Streets Taken Care of For Several
Years

One of the squads of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany, of Baltimore, owners of the
Cambridge system of telephone lines,
| has been at work for quite a little
while making repairs and improve
ments to the service in different por-
lions of the city. Work has been
done on the cable on High street,
in the vicinity of Church street, as
well as on Church street. A new
cable has been hung on Glasgow
street from High to Glenburn avenue,
and will replace the present cable,
which will be taken down. The new
cable is what is known as the 900
| pair cable, which means that it con-
tains 800 pairs of wires.
| In addition to this cable new
| so pair cable has been hung on Glen
burne avenue, to take care OF the in
crease of business on that street, and
new 800 pair cable has been hung
between High and Mill streets; so
pair cable has been hung on Chop
tank avenue, all of this work being
done to relieve the congested condi-
ton in the West End section of Cam
bridge.
Two new copper wires are being
strung between Cambridge and Col
den Hill to connect at the latter point
with the wires of the South Dorches
ter Telephone Co., the additional
wires being necessitated on account
of the heavily increased business of
the Company.
Up the county the line is being eX
tended from Salem to what is known
as the Harper farm, and there seems
but little doubt that later it will be
extended all the way through to
Drawbridge, as there are already a
number of persons who have signi-
fed their intention of installing tele-
phones as soon as they can secure
the service. While no plans have
been prepared for such a service, it
is likely that eventually the service
will be run from Vienna down what
| is known as the River Road; in fact,
as soon as the Public Service Com
mission hands down decision upon
the question of rates, etc., it is likely
that the service will be extended all
over the county, new exchange be-
| ing opened at East New Market to
take over much of the business al
ready existing, and to handle the
very rapid increase of business which
is expected to follow the stablizing
of rates.

HORSE THIEVES in KENT
cused of Stealing Horses Near
CheStertOWn.

Chestertown, Md, Aug. 11.-Ga-
lena has been the centre of number
of horse robberies the last few years,
but none of the thieves had been
caught until this week. Henry Ha-
ley, who lives on the j. E. Hurlock
farm, near Massey, lost a horse last
Sunday, and communicated with Con-
stable Frank LOckerman. A search
was begun and the animal was found
near Buckbridge.
1t was learned that the horse was
sold by Charles Ellis to his uncle.
Ellis went Tuesday on an excursion
to Atlantic City and Lockerman met
the train at Wilmington and arrested
him. Dick Ellis, brother, also was
arrested.
The men refused to come to Mary
land without eXtradition papers and
Constable Lockerman came to Ches-
tertown yesterday and had States
Attorney Vickers fix up the papers
and send them to Governor Harring-
ton. 1t is believed that the two Ellis
are members of the gang that has
been stealing horses for several years
in Upper Kent.
