Quarrel Between Rival Te1e-
graph Lines.
From the New York Times, 1st.


The Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
Company have commenced a sui n the
Supreme Court of this district against the
Franklin Telegraph Company. 1t APP
pears that the Atlantic and Pacific Compa-
nv, in 1867, entered into an agreement
with the Franklin Telegraph Company,
to be terminated on three months notice,
by the terms of which the employees of the
plaintiffs were TO occupy pnrtion OF the
Franklin Company's office. the latter to
receive the moneys coming into the Office
for the Atlantic Company, and pay over
balances due to the other company. The
defendants were to divide the Western
business to Chicago, equally with the
plaintiffs and their former connections.
In this action the plaintiffs complain that
the defendants have not paid them in full,
but that there i, at least the sum Of So 600
now due to them. There is also claim
made to the effect that the bus ness which
ought 10 have been turned over to them
has not been There is the further allie
cation that the solvcncy of the Franklin
Company is very doubtful Hence the
plaintiffs demand that the Franklin Com
pauy be restrained rom violating the con-
tract, and that recelveRof the receipts
If joint business be appointed
On the par of the defendants it's claim
"a that up to December laet everything
was settled up except few odd and cas-
ual claims; that during that month some
tllffi ulties arose on account Of Ger ain ef-
forts which were made to effect a frmcr
and more substantial union with the Attain
TIC and Pacific Company; that an account
was presented by the plant ifs OF 1900,
Of which only 500 was Acknowledged to
be due by the defendants Also, that this
claim and the one for January last are
now in litigation, and the plaintiffs have
good security ror all they can ever recov-
| er against The defendants. The defend
ants say, furthermore, that if their prop
erty was to be put mp at auction, and a
freed sale made, it would bring more
than Gil 900. The Court after hearing
argument, reserved the decision. For the
plaintiffs Mr. Wheeler; for the defend
ants, Mr.. Duncan Smith.

The Sparta (Wis.) Eagle has the follow
ing "a remarkable case of the power OF
emotions upon the physical system has
lately been called to our notice. Some
time last fall girl residing in the family
of Mr. D. H. Smith, the well-known rea-
per man, in violent fit of anger suddenly
lost her voice, and for months was totally
unable to speak word. Several physi-
clans were called in, but their remedies
were in vain, and the case was pronounced
hopeless. Recently during the absence OF
the entire family, except the girl, the
house took fire, doing damage to the ex-
tent of a hundred dollars. The girl was
naturally much CHARMED and excited, but
since that time she has recovered her
voice, and to day speaks as fuently and
readily as ever"

A CHINESE Chow Ying,
an eminent Chinese merchant of San Fran

trymen. His remains were placed in a

THE COLUMBIA Is. C.) BANK ROBBERY

THE COLUMBIA Is. C) BANK ROBBERY
We condense from the Augusta Chronicle of
the 10th an account of the recent bank rob-
berry at Columbia, S. c., as follows:
1t appears that the banking house of Scott,
Williams & Co., was entered on last Saturday
night by means OF false key. A hole was
then drilled through the wall of the building,
and wire run through it, by means OF which
telegraph" a man posted on the outside
warned the two within the building when any
one was passing, in order that they might stop
work. The brace of operators inside then with
the aid of sledges and drills covered with In-
dia rubber, cold chisels, levers, crowbars and
other tools known to the scientific burglar,
opened the bank vault and the iron safe con-
tanning the treasure. While they were at work,
however, a man named Gage, who lived in
Columbia, and who, he himself states, was
considerably under the influence of liquor, ap-
preached the doorway of the bank for the
purpose of shelteriDg himself from the rain
which was then falling. AS soon as he ap-
preached the burglars were telegraphed by
the lookout, and, of course, ceased working
But as the tipsy man did not leave, and the
burglars discovered the condition he was in,
they hastily opened the door and drew the
man inside the building-stopping him from
raising an alarm by threatening to kill him if
he made any noise, and promising him half of
the swag if he kept quiet. The man accord
ingly held his peace and the safe having been
opened, the burglars rifled it of gold and silver
to the amount of nearly two thousand dollars
and about eighteen thousand dollars of bank
notes, but left large amount of bonds un-
touched. They then locked the stupifed
drunken man up in closet in the room, and
left the bank with the treasure.
AT late hour on Sunday morning one Of
the officers of the bank entering the building
found the vault and safe broken open, a COM
plete set of burglars tools scattered on the floor
a man in the closet with half emptied bot
tie OF brandy by his side, and twenty thousand
dollars in specie and greenbacks and jewelry
stolen. The man in the closet was immed'-
ately arrested and examined, and told the
same story which we have given above. Every
effort was then made to get clew of the rob-
bers, but even their names could not be OBJ
tanned, much less their whereabouts. Up to
late hour yesterday afternoon the affair still
remained enveloped in profound mystery, and
the chances are that the burglars remained in
Columbia for day after the robbery, and then
made their escape northward. The loss is
light on the banking house, but falls heavy on
the special depOstors. All the boxes belong
ing to this class of persons were opened and
pillaged of gold, silver, greenbacks and jewel.
ry. and some estimate the entire loss at one
hundred thousand dollars, though a large
portion of the property stolen is in securities,

| Boy LoGIc.-We heard good story, the

| tbe earnest, wide-awake editor OF the Sunday
School workman. Rev. A. L. is the happy
father of four children, the youngest, A. Il.
Jr.. rejoicing in .ttue summers and trife over.
His boys and girls, like some others we wot of,
hugged their bed too lovingly. He thought to
break up this habit, and SO, as an inducement
to early rising, promised four cents, three cents,
two cents, end one cent, accordingly as they
should put in their appearance in the morn
ing, but nothing if they were late to prayers,
which service he holds before breakfast. There
have been few cold breakfasts in that family
since.
Some little while after this arrangement
had been operation, two little cousins came to
visit them. The first morning after their ar.
rival, "prompt as a major" A. I. Jr bounded
into the room where his father was. "Good
morning, papa: want six cents" s'Good
morning, my boy. What's that?" 81 want

logic was too much for the Rev. A. r.. and the
six cents were Immediately paid. The pre-

lhe Llederkranz, a musical association, and
partner In a brewery. His posison at Messrs.
n,othschllds' was that of manager OF the bull
non department, and in that capacity it was
MS duty TO purchase ingots of the precious
metals which were offered for sale. The dis
coVery OF his frauds was accidentally made in
consequence of his delay in Forwarding a bulk
of 1000 English soveregns, for which a Gus
toner had paid 25,0O0f.
Upon his failure to reappear at the bank,
his till and chests were searched, and it was
discovered that neither the 1000 soyereigns,
nor the 2o,OOO francs were there. The police
were Immediately informed, and they sue

search was also made at his own residence

The Newark, N. j., Advertiser of the 10th
says that on the preceding evening Mr.. Cour-
tier of that city rescured a woman from the
hands of several ruffans who had dragged her
into stone yard, and brought her to the sta
ton house. In taking her from the hands of
the ruffians, he was resisted, one of them with
a drawn knife. At the station house the wom-
an gave her name as Ann Blackburn said
she was widow; that her maiden name was
Stewart, and that she had just escaped from
Blackwells Island, where she had been de-
tanned for the past five years as a lunatic. She
stated that her mother and brother resided
in Hoboken, and that she was incarcerated as
lunatic in order that they might possess two
hundred acres of land, which had been left
her by Professor John Mcintosh, at Prince
Edwards Island. She effected her escape,
she says, on raft composed of two boards,
sold her shawl for fifty cents to enable her to
cross the ferry, and then walked to this city,
where she "Iell among thieves" as stated
above. She desires to go to New Brunswick,
where she once resided. Her story is believ-
ed at the station house, where she VIII be
kindly cared for until the Blackweils Island
authorities can be heard from.
