SHARE IN ESTATE SHRINKS
NOTICEABLY.

Foreign exchange rates in Italian
lire have decreased so materially
that Ernest Flabbi, of Port Deposit,
is now about one-tenth as rich as he
was thought to be in 1914. His
share in an estate in Italy in 1914
was nineteen thousand lire or about
$4,000 in American currency. To-
day the shrinkage in valuation has
reduced his share in the estate to
about $500, and Flabbi is unfortu-
nately one of the many sufferers of
decreasing exchange rates.
Flabbi served in the army during
the World War and has made num-
erous attempts to become naturaliz-
ed, without accomplishing much in
this direction. He has taken out
his first papers and hopes soon to
renounce his allegiance to his native
land.
Flabbi Is well known to residents
of this city, who have been employ
ed at the Aberdeen Proving Ground,
as the obliging cobbler in the Salv-
age Section of the Quartermaster' s
Department .-Havre de Grace Re-
publican.
The above item will be of interest
to our readers here through the fact
that Ernest Flabbi has just purchas-
ed property in Rising Sun, where
he is engaged in the shoe repair
business.

CONSTRUCTION OF DAM
PROBABLE.
Structure Will BE Mile Long And
Eighty Feet High.

Structure Will BE Mile Long And
Eighty Feet High.
The following is from the Havre
de Grace Republican:
BY ordering all of the inhabitants
of Conowingo to vacate their homes
and places of business, the first step
in actual construction work on the
proposed Conowingo dam has been
taken. This move has probably
created feeling of resentment of
great proportions among the inhab-
itants of the village, but it was evil
dent some months ago when the
scheme was being brought forth that
the village would probably be de-
stroyed.
Conowingo is situated on the main
highway from the North through
this country and is thriving little
village of about one hundred per-
sons, the village consisting of two
warehouses, two oil distributing
plants, hotel, church, school, five
stores and fifteen dwellings.
Opinion now prevails that the in
habitants will move their homes to
the hill back Of the. village as they
would be submerged under 80 feet
Of water.
It is now thought that a new
highway bridge will be constructed
further down the river and new
route opened between Hartford and
Cecil Counties. The tracks of the
Pennsylvania Railroad will have to
be rebuilt over a distance of about
twenty-five miles.
The new dam when completed
will be one mile long and 80 feet
high, forming a lake 13 miles long.

Mr.. William ]. Davis and Mr.. J.
Will Perkins, representing the
Board Of Trustees, of the Elkton
schools appeared before the Board
in reference to a new school build
ing for Elkton.
The following petition, signed by
nearly five hundred of the patrons of
the schools of Elkton was presented
to the Board:
"We, the undersigned members of
the School Improvement Association
and patrons of the Schools Of Elk
ton, do petition the Board of Educa-
tion of Cecil County to erect suit
able structure for the Primary and
Grammar grades Of this town, mas
much as the Howard st. and Acad-
emy buildings are unable to accom-
modate the children now in attend
ance. The Board of Education was
compelled to divide one of the rooms
of the High School into two parts
in order to relieve somewhat, the
conditions which existed. The Acad-
emy building, in view of it's location
and size, is very unsatisfactory
place to have a school. Over one
hundred children now attend school
in this dilapidated structure. The
idea in mind is to erect building
which will house the Primary and
Grammar grades, the High School
building to be used only for High
School students. At present a small
building is being used, for Science
Laboratory and Domestic Science.
Besides the extra expense entailed,
the location of the building is
handicap in view of the time con-
sumed going to and from it."
The Board requested the Secretary
to have tentative plans prepared so
as to ascertain the probable cost.
A petition was received from the
Teachers Association asking the
Board to reconsider it's action in
reference to entertainments. The
matter was discussed and held for
further consideration.

TELEPHONE SERVICE BADLY
CRIPPLED.
BADLY
Work OF Repairing Damage Done BY
Storm Being Pushed.

Storm Being Pushed.
AS result of the sleet storm on
Wednesday of last week about 5000
telephones were out of commission
throughout the State. About 900 OF
these were in Hartford and 800 in
Cecil county. They are being re-
turned to service as rapidly as pos
sible. considering the territory over
which they are scattered and the
snow and ice along the roads.
Before the storm had abated, re-
pairmen were out putting up temp
orary lines of wire to replace those
that had been torn down on the
most important circuits. In Har-
ford county about rs poles were
torn down and all but four of these
were on important toll circuits.
Cecil suffered just as bad. In ad-
dition, many wires broke, and fall
ing cross-arms carried other lines
with them.
ne IlHoS CoHHccIAH6 HorryNAbAC
and Hensel, Elkton and Middletown,
and Rising Sun and North East were
temporarily out of commission be-
cause many poles were carried over
in the path of the storm. In Har-
ford County, the line between Bel
Air and Jarrettsville was rendered
useless for some time because of
breaks. Thousands of feet of wire
and many poles were rushed to re-
place the damaged equipment.
1t has been ascertained that the
recent storm has resulted in a prop
erty loss and damage to the plants in
Maryland of approximately $125,O00.

 HE'S AFRAID OF ROBBERS

BERLIN, Sept. 19-A young man with ribs of gold and platinum is work ing in cigarette factory at BTeslau
 When he was a locksmith's appren- tice, several years ago, he fell from the roof of a house and was badly in iured He was taken to hospital and doctors found that his skull was frac- tured and all his ribs but one were broken. The youth was in the hospital for no less than four and one half years, and finally one of the surgeons undertook to repair or replace his shattered ribs.
 A metal plate was inserted in his skull and the fractured bones were re- placed by ribs of gold and platinum. Two and half year later the man was able to leave the hospital, and since then he has been working in cigaret- te factory. In view of the present pric- es of gold and platinum, it is evident that he is carrying about in his body quite considerable amount of wealth and it is stated that special measures are being taken to protect him against criminals.
