TELEGRAPHIC COMPETITION.
Postal system Ready for Business
Resignation of Two Directors.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.
| The Postal Telegraph company today sent
notices to the several commercial exchanges,
that it will open its system for business be-
tween New York and Chicago and the imme-
date points reached by its lines on Monday
| 1t will do business at the uniform rate of 20
cents for 20 words between all points. This
schedule was decided upon some time ago,
| but at meeting of the board of directors
held early last week. MIR. J. II. Jewett sug-
gested that the company make its schedule
identical with that of the Western Union.
The suggestion was supported by Thomas
| Dickson and to some extent by President
Joel b Erhardt. MIR. Jewett's proposition
| took the other members of the board by sur
prise. Some of them did not hesitate to ac-
cuse Mr. Jewett of acting in the interest of
the Western Union company, of which he is
a director. Other intimations were to the
effect that Messrs. Jewett, Dickson and Err
Eardt were all acting in the interest of the
Western Union company. This open rup-
ture has resulted in the resignation of Jewett
and Dickson, and it is expected that Presi-
| dent Erhardt's resignation will be received at
the meeting of the board on Wednesday next
All of the designations will be accepted. 1t
is understood that all three directors have
disposed of their interest in the company
within few days, and tina. it has been ac-
CURED principally by the other directors
When Messrs. Jewett and Dickson went into
the board. it was said that they gave the
impression, or caused it 70 be understood,
that they would turn over to the company the
telegraph wires along their respective rail-
roads-the Erie and the Delaware & Hudson
Canal company. Friends of the company say
| that no steps have been taken in this drec-
ton, and also that the course of the two gen.
| tlemen has been toward obstructing the pro-
gress of the company as competitor to the
Western Union. Mr.. Jewett is a co-trustee
with President George S. Cox of the Ameri-
can Exchange National Bank of majority
of the stock of the company. 1t is consid.
cred likely that he will retire from that office.

DAKOTA TERRITORY.
Rapid Growth of the COun,rv-Increased
Mail Facilities Desired.

''Let me tell you about Dakota" said a
post office department official. $40 you see
this double handful of mail? Well it's all
from Dakota. Here are the adventurous
members of the Jones, Brown and Smith
families petitioning for new post offices.
They represent that their neigeborhoods are
growing rapidly, and they have almost no
means of communicating with the old folks
at home. They want offices established
right away, and recommend that the Square,
who has just started grocery and notion
store, be appointed postmaster at salary
of $40 to SIS per annum. Here are some of
the names which they suggest as appropriate
for the offices, Total Wreck" How does
that strike you for community? Hard
Times Lousy Canon Crazy Praries,' Pill
taker,' Clean Shirt Extra Socks Empty
Butts Clear Grit 'Pickwick,' Merry Corn
ers,' Music Snake These are samples OF
names actually suggested by the petitioners,
but what started to tell you was that this
county is growing faster than any body
knows. The mail messenger here says the
correspondence with Dakota has more than
doubled during the past year. This is plain
pointer as to the growth of the territory.
Every county has several petitions in fol
new offices, and they are all from bona fide
new communities, which are just being
settled"

FROM WASHINGTON.
EcYPr,s scoURGE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.
W. z. Stevens. United States consul at
Smyrna, writes TO the national board of health
under date of July ID as follows:
"The news from Egypt is less alarming
than at the time of my last report. Facts
have come to light tending to show that the
disease which is dominating the population
of Damietta is not Asiatic cholera, but
malignant distemper caused by the filthy con-
dition of the town and the unclean habits of
its lower classes, whose principal article of
food is FISH caught from water polluted and
poisoned by being used as receptacle for offal,
the carcasses of deceased animals etc. Dur
ing the British occupation, many animals
persisted, and their bodies were dumped into
the water regardless of consequences. The
theory 10 strengthened by the following facts ::
First, the disease first made its appearance in
Damietta on the 4th of June. but was not
made public until the Goth. at which time
the death rate became too large for further
cOncealment; second, the mortality is con-
fined almost wholly to the natives, who disre-
gard in the mode of living all sanitary re-
quirements third, the disease is limited to a
small territory: fourth, its previous course
on the supposition that it is Asiatic cholera
cannot be traced; fifth, the disease does not
spread with the rapidity of Asiatic cholera.
In 1865, the cholera was only two days in
travelling from Damietta to Alexandria. l
may add that some OF the best physicians of
Smyrna do not regard the present scourge in
Egypt as the cholera. With the stringent
measures taken to cOnfine it within its pres
ent limits, it is fair to assume that its ravages
will not be much further extended, although
the death rate shows little diminution as yet.

A proposition is now under considera.
ton BY two or three Washington capita.
lists to advance the members of the Broth.
srhood Of Telegraphers sufficient money
to construct line of telegraph with two
wires between Washington. Baltimore.
Philadelphia and New York for the trans
mission of business between these points.
Eight or more skilled operators will be
entrusted with the construction and man.
agement Of the line. They are to receive
fair compensation. and after paying six
per cent on the money actually invested
in the line and equipment, the balance of
the net profits will either be divided equal
~ between the capitalists and operators,
or be expended in additional wires or in
extending the line to Cincinnati. Chicago
and other points. An experienced ex-op-
orator Is now engaged in making the
sstizhates for the new enterprise. Why
cannot capitalists elsewhere follow the ex-
ample Of Washington and give rs . healthy
system Of telegraph to all points of the
countxy.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.
There was little change last night in The
tele graphic situation here. Col. Clowrv.
supt, said that he has consulted with the
managers of the leading railroads and is pre-
pared for anything the operators can do by
calling out the railroad telegraphers. Mem
beers of the brotherhood who for some days
have been limiting mysterously about an i'm
pending strike which would paralyze the
company, that strike being understood to
be the calling out of the railroad operators.
now give out the impression that the opera
tors who took the places of the strikers are
not satisfied and that large number have
been initiated into the brotherhood but are
kept at work till such time as large enough
force inside is obtained when they will be
called out in body and the company left
without operators or ability to get any, as
there are no more outside operators to be had.
NEW YORK. Aug 4.
The announcement that the Brotherhood
of telegraphers would serve a bill of griev-
ances today upon the Delaware. Lackawana
& Western Railroad company in behalf of the
operators in the employ of that line did not
appear to cause much apprehension in the
company's office. During the morning no
committee of the brotherhood made its az
pearance, and it was thought that the an
nOuncement was premature as the operators
of the company had given no indication Of
dissatisfaction with their work or wages. The
officers of the company stated that in case
any such action was taken by the brother
hood they would probably refuse TO listen to
the demand. The company is under contract
to take Western Union commercial business,
and any refusal on the part of the operators
to transmit such business would meet with
prompt dismissal from the service. The
same is said to be true with regard to the
Louisville & Nashville railroad. At the
Western Union office, there was no indIca-
tions of any new developments, md the posi-
ton maintained by the company since the
strike was strictly adhered to. The stories
circulated by the strikers regarding the con-
dition of affairs at the Western Union office
were reported untrue. There were occasion.
al delays, it was said, but these were of fire.
quent occurrence before the strike. This
morning there were $50 operators at work
and business to all points was moving
smoothly.

Frank A. Hodges Of HalIOweli Commits
lf.Murder by Hanging.
Especial to the Kennebec Journal.

Special to the Kennebec Journal.
HALLowELL, Aug. 4.
Frank A. Hodges, a man about 90 years
old who belonged in Farmingdale, commit
ted suicide at the house of his sister,
in Hallowell, Saturday afternoon about
o'clock by hanging. The deed was COM
mtted in doorway between two rooms in
the second story of the house, a rope used by
children for swing being employed for the
purpose. He stood on the door-sill, fastened
the rope around his neck, withdrew his feet
from beneath him and swang clear of the
floor. When discovered by his sister, Mrs.
Campbell lite was not extinct, yet he was
allowed 80 remain for nearly an hour until
dead. Two weeks ago yesterday he attempt
ed to commit the same deed with a bed cod
attached to a beam in the building. He had
succeeded in suspending himself by the
neck, but was rescued by bis sister before
life was extinct, cut down and resuscitated.
On being brought to life he said that he
wished they had let him hang. Despondecy,
brought on by trouble in his family, was
probably the cause of the rash deed. He
was subject to fits, however. He parted
from his wife in June and several weeks ago
was arraigned in Winthrop for adultery. He
was bound over to the September term OF
court and taken to Jail Three weeks ago,
finding bonds, he was liberated and went to
Hallowell. Hodges was a common laborer.
