The Tele.raph War.

| however, the telegraph war has assumed a
still more complicated shape. The Baltimore
| and Ohio Railroad Company served notice
of its intention to take control of and operate
the telegraph lines of the Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph Company and the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, between Washing
ton, ID. c., and Marietta and Cincinnati, o,
| Washington, Pa, Columbus o., Newark o.,
and Chicago, Ill.,, heretofore operated by the
Atlantic and Pacific Company under TEN.
poraIy license. After the notice had been
served and the lines all taken by the railroad
company an injunction was served. on Presi-
| dent Garrett, OF the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company, at the Windsor Hotel, in
this city, to restrain his company from taking
possession of the lines which were put there
by the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Com.
pany In 1876 and 1877 under, an arrangement
made by General Eckert, then President, and
u. ID. Bates, then General Superintendent of
the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Company.
This arrangement, it is alleged, provided that
the railroad company, who were at that time
afraid of a consolidation between the
| Western Union and Atlantic and Pacific
Company should at any time have the option
! OF taking the lines at cost. On Saturday
last contract was concluded between the
| Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company and
| American Union Telegraph Company, having
| ten years to run, whereby all the telegraphic
| work and business of that railroad shall be
managed in connection with the American
Union Telegraph Company, instead OF the
Western Union and Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph Company.
Alter the American Union Telegraph
Company seized the wires of the Western
Union Company on the central branch of the
Union Pacific Railroad in Kansas. ON Friday
| last, the American Union applied to Judge
| Otis, of the District Court of Atchison
| county, for an injunction to prevent the
Western Union from interfering with the
possession or control of the wires along that
road, and the application was granted.
