LAFAYETTE, Dec 3O.-An injunction
has been granted here against the Ameri-
can Union Telegraph Company, restrain
ing that company from constructing a tele-
graph line on the right of way of the Gin
cinnati, Lafayette 4 Chicago r. r. The
application was made By the Western
Union Telegraph Co., In the pending
Great Western Telegraph litigation, the
American Union Co, loaned or received of
the former company. tel thousand dollars
to be deposited in court, on the theory
that deposit in court would compel the
delivery of the lines of the Great Western
Co., by the Western Union Co.. which
holds them to satisfy a claim. The pro-
ceeding in which the deposit was made
was appealed to the Appellate Court. and a
motion was made in the circuit court by
the American Union Co.. for an order to
withdraw these funds. which notion
Judge Barnum denies on the ground that
the Appellate Court alone has jurisdiction
over the matter. The funds therefore re-
main deposited in court, and the Western
Union still retains possession of the lines.

A gentleman attired in clothes which had

"Fa-aw," said the visitor, Indignantly.
"Do look like man that would weed a
bed of cowcumberers of the ground for a

gets abroad that we fellows are in the habit
of wedding the cowcumbers upon thousand

the sake Of our board, We'll be ruined.
That's what's the matter. If you want to
find reading that will interest your readers
and benefit the struggling poor, just you give
them some stories about disguised dukes

were given a feed of roast chicken and ice
cream, with fifteen cent cigars and nip of
good whiskey as grace after meat, and who
fifteen weeks afterward, left their generous
benefactors $3.50, 900. That's the sort of lit
