Putting Wire Underground.


THE PLAN BY WHICH PHILADELPHIA PROPOSES
TO GRAPPLE WITH THE PROBLEM.
A special dispatch from Philadelphia says that
this week the National Underground Electric
Company will commence work laying telegraph
wires under Market street from Delaware to
10th street. and Sd and 4th streets from Market
TO Chestnut street, to connect with the Western
Union Telegraph Companys wires. An ordi-
nance the council gives the company the right
to lay wires from Delaware to Schuylkill, but
that will not be done for some time yet, or until
shorter distance is proved to be success.
COnduits will be laid in trenches three feet Deep
and the wires will be rolled into insulated cables
1t was first intended to use terra Gotta pipes to
protect the wires. but a conduit ofartifical stone
Apatented by Mr.. Calvin DIETRICH. of this CITY,
was found to be much better for the purpose
The conduit is made of insulating material
and is about eight inches square, being pune
tured by twelve tubes for holding the cables
two pneumatic tubes. fifty-four ordinary tec-
graph wires and two electric light wires The
insulating substance is protected by covering
OF artificial stone. similar to that used i'm max
ing block pavement. This covering is two and
a-half inches thick. and is impervious to heat
and dampness, as it is an insulating substance
also. The latter has been tested to the tenn
perature as low as two degrees below zero and
was not affected byft. 1t is intended to Law the
conduit in continuous mass. without Joints.
In laying it the sheet iron tubes about one inch
In diameter. are placed in the frame and the in
suiating material poured around it. The bot
tom and sides of artificial stone having been put
DOWN. the tubes remain in and the wires will be
drawn through by pneumatic pressure

ment of monthly dues the new feature of pay
ing small sum additional per share az an in
surance fund. This insurance fee enables the
society to guarantee TO the family of any de-

MARYLAND ACCUSED OF BAD FAITH.-The state
of Maryland promised certain bOunties to who
ever enlisted in her regiments during the war
from outside states. 1t was time when thou
sand-dOlar bounty was easily obtained. Rely
ing on the honor OF that state several Deiawar-
cans enlisted in the 5th Maryland regiment
The state paid all their own soldiers. but never
paid the Delawareans. The Delawareans saved
them so many men in the call for troops. They
could have got far larger bounty i'm other
states, but they relied on the honor of Mary
land. Deiawarean. who has written to a
Grand Army post of that state. who lost his
health in the 5th Maryland. and now can do no
labor. has been informed by them that the legis-
lature has passed a law prohibiting the payment
| of any more bounties. They thus broke their
contract. and the Delaware men who trusted to
Maryland faith now suffer i'm poverty from that
state breaking its pledged word Wilmington
