Telegraph Contract.
New YORK, October Oth.-To-day
terminates the contract under which
the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
has used the Western Union Telegraph
Company's facilities to make con-
nection between the opposition wires
at Chicago and the Union Pacific
Railroad wires at Omaha. Hereafter
the opposition will be confined to
single wire between those points, and
whenever this is interrupted they have
no other to replace it; whereas, when
their Western Union wire was down
they were. promptly furnished with
another from the ample facilities of
the Western Union Company. The
knowledge of this changed condition
of affairs is important to such patrons
of the telegraph as do not care to trust
messages to the accidents Of single
wire line.
