FOURTH EDITION,
THE TELEGRAPH sTRaKE.
The Ultin.asum Ofihe 0trikers-Jay
Gould must back down.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July "a, l883.-To-
day the high officials Of the Brother
hood of Teegraphers held a conference
| on the question of ordering the railroad
operators out on Il strike. The meeting
| was II secret one, and as a result 1t was
decided that if the Western Union Com
did not grant the demands of the
brotherhood within siXty-twO hours,
the railroad operators employed on the
Wabash and other railroads, in which
Jay Gould is largely interested, would
20 ont on u strike.
The number of railroad operators on
| these roads is between two thousand
and two thousand five hundred, sOlidly
and cempactly organic d, and restless
because they had not been called on to
90 out before this. The Brotherhood,
however, did not wish to beplared in the
position of bringing about the conse-
uuent cessation Of business which would
inevitably result when the railroad ope-
rators lett their keys and saunders.
The Brotherhood now claims that it
has demonstrated its forbearance to the
people of the country, and as Jay Gould
has made the fight a personal one, in
which he now backs himself with his
500, OO0, 900 of capital, it is time to show
him that the operators are determined
to secure redress for the grievances
complained of in the bill presented to
the different Companies.
The break which the telegraph
companies expected to take place yes
terday in the ranks of the operators in
| Philadelphia, did not occur. Gains and
| losses were reported on both sides. Both
the operators and the companies are
still confident of winning the victory.
The operators claim that their POSITION
is so strong that they ar hourly expect
ing an order to return 10 work. \ hu,i-
ness message to Atlantic City was ten
dered at the Western Union office,
Front and Chestnut streets, last evening,
and the operator stamped il "Accepted,
subject to delay or mailing en-route. p"
A brotherhood officiaI states that
when their organizers had fairly com
pleted the work of organizing com
mercial operators III the principal cities
they were specially instructed to devote
their time to the railroad men working
on the Wabash and other railroads with
which Jay Gould is identified, and as q
cons, quence the bulk of them had been
secured and We're among the staunrhest
members of the brotherhood, 1t is pro-
posed to give wide publication on the
eve of the strike, SO tina, all persons con
tempating taking trips can make their
arrangements to avoid delays EN- route

condition, and demanded that it be

 There was hardly any abatement to-day in the puish feeling which has prevailed for several days past and prices made further sharp advance but it was not fully maintained in the final dealings owing to the eagerness of some to reazs every advance ana who freely sold in the last hour for that pur- pose At the highest point to-day prices the tive list showed rise of to per cent, the latter in Northwestern preferred LackaWanna came next with an advance of 1X. Denver showed rise of 13S, Lake Shore 1, Jersey Central 1z Northwestern common IS, Ontario and Western 1zS and St. Paul, Minnesota and Minneapolis l.

Lackawanna continues to be taken in large blocks by investors and others who claim to see bright future for the road and predict afurther sharp advance Northwestern shares were strong the belief that at the forthcoming meeting Of the executive committee of the directors to be held here some action will be taken in regard to the surplus stock, and probably in regard to Omaha stock prier to Vanderbilt's departure fer Europe. The rise in St Paul, Minnesota and inD eapols was upon the announcement that the road would issue fifty year six per cent gold bonds its stockholders to the extent of 50 per cent of their stock upon the payment of 10 per cent on said bonds. As they are selling at 110 this is equal to dividend of fifty per cent Besides this the usual two per cent quarterly dividend will be paid in May. The other stocks mentioned were all upon good buying. Union Pa oihc was exceptionally weak rumors of suit to pc brought against the road and that the road was considering new issue of stock.

The Parallel Contest.

Actions Against the oImstead Parallel
 Dism1ssed-The Hartford and Harlem
 Gets a Set BGck-JudGe Beardsley's
 Opinion.
 In the civil side of the Superior court yes- terday morning Judge Beardsley rendered his decision in the suits brought by the Hart ford and Harlem railroad against the Con necticut and New York Air Line Railroad
 company. These suits included the IsbSll
 injunction and Cole quo warrsnto. All of
 the suits had common object, which was to
 destroy the corporate existence of ths Olm-
 stead Parallel and leave g clean field for the Hartford and Harlem. The claim of the lat ter was that the former had no corporate ex-
 ;stence, owing to defects in the company s organization.
 The court found that while defects existed as claimed, none of them were sufficient to vitiate the legality of the organization and therefore dismissed the suits. It was proven, he said that there were inaccuracies in the survey to such an extent that the line could | not be retraced from the map on file with out the aid of the surveyors field notes. | Nevertheless, he thought the map sufficient l to satisfy the law. Az to the other defects, such as the election of directors and the excess in the proposed is-
 
 ! mated cost of the road and it's equipments Judge Beardsley decided that none of them | were so serious as to justify the demand for ruling the company to be defunct and ille- ! gal corporation. In regard to the defects of l location, he said this was matter for the \ railroad commissioners and not the court to pass upon. He therefore granted the motion ! to dissolve the two temporary injunctions ! restraining the road from proceeding further with it's plans and dismissed the quo warranto s. E. Baldwin, counsel for the Hartford and Harlem, gave notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court of Errors and Judge Beardsley directed that written finding of
 facts be prepared on which to base it.
 There would seem to be no hindrauces now to either of these roads proceeding with their hearings before the railroad commis- sioners regarding their respective layouts. It would appear to any intelligent observer"
 however, that the building of Parallel
 road is' a thing of the future" and the next
 General Assembly will have to witness an-
 other railroad fight which will please no one
 but lobbyists.
