sented to the Circuit Court to-day by the
Atlantic d Pacific Telegraph Company,
asking that the powers OF the Bridge Com
pany be enlarged, so as to allow them to
make contract with the telegraph COM

for the reason that the receivers are only in
temporary possession Of the bridge proper
ty, and could not be empowered to make
permanent contracts. Ibis decision will
require the Atlantic & Pacific Company to
lay a cable across the river here, to connect
their line with st. Louis.
