cry Fast Mails.

There has recently been organized
III the east a company incorporated
under the title of the Postal Telegraph
Company of New York, the design of
which is to establish a system of trunk
lines of telegraph between the large
cities of the country FOR the transmits
sion by telegraph of the mail of bust
ness firms ut much lower rate than
is charged by the present telegraph
companies. The idea was preached
some time ago, but the perfection of
the plans and the organization of the
company have been kept somewhat
close. The incorporation claim to be
able to send long letters of any de-
scrlption over the proposed wires at
very much less than the present rates.
They also claim that their business
will not be delayed by the weather or
any such cause. To prove this, they
bring forward the wire now being
manufactured by their own company
at Ansonia, Conn, which is COM
pound wire, composed of copper in
steel, which they claim resists the eff
fects of rain and snow. Its conduc-
tiyity to the mile is such as to reduce
the time between Chicago and New
York to equal that between New York
and Boston by the present system.
The first line, that between here and
New York, is already some weeks
under way, and it is expected to have
the system under working order before
Jan. L, 1888. 1t will only take in
the larger cities on the way, at first,
but atterward touch all points, and
eventually do local trade. The let
ters are to be wired from one point to
another, copied out by clerks at the
latter place, and placed in the post
office, SO as to make the mail service
do the delivery. Business mail can
therefore be sent at the close of the
days work in Chicago, and delivered
by mail carriers in New York next
morning. The company has an auth
orized capital Of 81 100000 and the
privilege Of issuing an extra s10,000,-
900 worth Of bonds. Of the capital,
100000 has already been subscribed,
and bonds Will be issued as the work
proceeds. Among those interested in
the scheme are John B. Alley and ex-
Collector Beard, Of Boston; George d.
Roberts and S. B. White, of New
York; Gov Charles Foster and several
of the latter's friends, of Ohio. The
system Of biography used Will be the
