which are set simultaneously in motion
and transmit the message over one wire.
The company claims it csn send eight, or
receive eight dispatches at the same time
over the same wire. The two wires in use
between here and Cleveland are steel,
heavily insulated in copper. The poles
are so fset high, of unusual size and
strength, and 40 to the mile. 1t is claimed
that by wires of such supreme conductivity
the electric current on them will not be
disturbed by storms and atmospheric
change. They CLAIM these improvements,
being that Chicago is Geographically as
neal New York as Philadelphia, and San
Francisco as near as Cleveland, compared
with the best wire now in use. The capital
stock of the company is 81 900, 900, in
800 shares. 1t has issued $40, 900, 600 in
first mortgage $50 gold bonds. The
President of the company is Alonzo W.
Beard of Boston. Geo. d. Roberts, S. V.
White and Conrad \. Jordsu of this city
and Gov. Foster Of Ohio and Prof. Elisha
Gray Of Chicago are on the Bosrd of
Directors. The company says it will con
struct trunk lines extending from New
York to San Francisco, and to all other
large cities of the United States, Canada
and Mexico.

more, San Francisco aud Washington,
from 81 900 to 5000. Compensation to
the second and third class remained as st
the present rAts. The commission grant
