AN EFFORT TO DISSOLVE THE AGREEMENT BE-
TWEEN THE TWO COMPANIES.
NEW YORK, September 1.-THE Evening
Post has the following: Proceedings
have been begun in the Supreme Court OF
Kings county by summons and complaint
to set aside the recent arrangement for
consolidation Of the interests OF the West
ern Union and Atlantic and Pacific Telc-
graph companies. The proceedings were
begun by Jesse Johnson, who alleges that
he holds twenty shares OF the Atlantic and
Pacific stock. The complaint charges the
arrangement between the companies was
illegal. Mr.. Orion says that dissolution
Of the arrangement would be preiudicial to
the Atlantic and Pacific Company, but
would not iniure the Western Union, which
now holds enough stock Of the former COM
pany to protect them from any damaging
competition in the future"
