UNION TELEGRAPH COM
PANY.
Articles of. Incorporation Filed
Capital S1O,OOO,OOO.

New YORK, April 30.-Articles OF in
corporation of the Union Telegraph
Company were filed to-day here. The
company is organized with a capital of
SlO,OOO,OOO in shares of 500. The cor
poratOrs named are Jay Gould, of New
York, whose subscription is for $4,000
shares; David III. Bates, of New York,
and Charles \. Tinker of Baltimore, Md,
whose subscriptions are for 25,OOO shares
each.
This enterprise is understood to be
part OF a vast scheme that may extend
from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.
The nucleus in this State is the Central
Union Telegraph Company, which be-
gan operations about six months ago.
The charter of this company has been
bought recently by the organizers OF the
present company, work has been begun
not only in this, butin other States, and
a line from Boston to Baltimore is under
contract. BY completing the line of the
Central Union Company to Buffalo, and
by building the line now under contract,
from Boston TO Baltimore, the new
company is brought into direct con-
nection with railroad lines extending to
the Pacific slope 1t is said by the Otli-
GERS of the new company to be improba-
bic that the railroad companies will wait
for the passage OF the Congressional tel
egraph bill, giving railroads the rights to
do telegraph business. Several OF them
are in sympathy with the movement
and company. 1t is understood that
they will take a portion of stock. The
new line will run, it is said, over the
routes of the Union Pacific < Kansas
Pacific roads, of the Kansas City q
Northern and Wabash roads. From
the Eastern terminus of the Wabash
road it will run by several routes to the
seaboard. One OF these, it is expected,
will be the PENNSYLVANIA road; another
by the Baltimore & Ohio, and still an
other by new route by way OF ALBANIA
and Buffalo.
A person connected with the Western
Union Company said tonight; 81 have
not a very exalted opinion OF the new
scheme. / do not believe 1t is a legiti-
mate enterprise. | believe that the
persons interested in it never intend to
build the line 1t looks to me like
a demonstration, a kind OF public show
for making handsome profits out OF
Western Union stock. | don't know
who are short of Western Union, but
some persons are, and they are attempt
ing to get the price down. In a word, l
think the plan To form a new telegraph
company is a stock jObbing operation,

THE NEGRO EXODUS.
It's Probable Effect Upon the
Next Cotton Crop.

From the Financial Chronicle.
We continue to have inquiries with
regard 10 the extent and effect OF the
movement of the freedmen from the
Mississippi Valley 10 Kansas. The pre-
sent position may be stated about rs
follows:
1. Not 10 exceed a total of seven thou
sand persons, men, women and children
measures mp to this time the extent oil
this great exodus, as il Is called. Fur
thermore. the force of all it seems now
tu have spent itself, and many have re-
turned with stock OF bitter experience
AS the result. There will be dctach-
ments going still, but, unless stimulated
bv public meetings at the North, IN no
considerable numbers. Ii we estimate
e1rh pprson who has moved, children
and alI, as capable Of raising six bales OF
cotton. the total effect on the next crop,
even ON that SuppOsition, would be
only A.. 900 bales. Evidently, therefore,
lis influence on this staple is OF no mo-
mput.
.. OF course the poor blacks that are
now starving I'm Kansas should be pro
yIled for, But no one can desire any
further movement In that direction who
really seeks their true interests. Nan
Sas is certainly no place for them, and
great care should bc taken in helping
those already there, lest it encourages
others TO follow. They are simple
minded folk, possessed with the idea
that i'm some way the North will give
them fine home, all the mules they
,-.,rt and then crib 10 draw from.
They are tIccin. from persecution no
one who will study the facts will con-
tend. Let ns be careful, therefore, that

BOLD BANK ROBBERY.
A DAYLIGHT OPERATION IN ALLIE
GHENY.
Two Thieves Enter the Workingmen's Say
ings Bank and Capture Sixteen Hun
dred 0Ollars-RObbers Fright
ened by the Warlke Cashier.

PITTSBURGH, April 3O.-A bold but
unsuccessful attempt was made at noon
to-day to rob the Workingmen's Saw
ings Bank, on Ohio street, Allegheny.
The bOOk-keeper of the bank had gone
to dinner, leaving the cashier, George
l.. Walter, alone. Two men entered
the bank, and one OF them, advancing to
the rear Of the counter, asked for silver
for dollar bill. When the cashier ad-
yanced with the change in his hand he
was confronted with a cooked revolver
and told to make no noise or he would
be shot. Dropping the silver, Walter
seized the revolver, and succeeded in
wrenching it from his assailant, who then
clambered up and got inside the counter,
and was reaching for the money
on the counter when Walter
opened fire on him, firing
two shots at him and also two at the
other rObber, who, in the meantime,
had climbed over the front counter and
was advancing 10 the rear of the room.
The strangers, dismayed by the warlike
reception, then turned toward the door
and fled, and have not yet been arrest
ed. The officers of the bank say they
sustained no loss.
Later developments in the assault on
the Workingmen's Savings Bank, to-
day, are that the thieves succeeded in
carrying Off s., 300, but in their flight
they dropped package containing 500,
which was picked up and returned to
the bank. The thieves, on leaving the
bank, made for the river and succeeded
in getting over to this side, where the
clue 10 their whereabouts were lost.

case, and the trial commenced. Part OF
the line of defense will bc an effort TO

ing out Immediately after, and Murphy
