TELEGRAPHERS' STRIKE.
Nearly Two Hundred Wires Rendered
Temporarily Useless.
Panhandle Operators Refuse to Handle Com
mercial Business--The General Sit
uation Practically Unchanged.
Nearly Two Hundred Wires Rendered Use
less Temporarily.


New York, Aug. S.-Last night another
onslaught was made on the wires of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company, the conse-
quences of which are far more disastrous
than that of the preceding night. Press
Agent Somerville, of the Western Union,
said this morning that twenty wires on one
route, and fourteen on another, between Pas
sale and Elizabethport, N. J., We're cut These
were wires to Philadelphia and other points
IN the southern division. Twenty OF the Mu-
tual Union wires were cut between Kings
bridge and Scarsdale. AT Tarrytown
twelve Hudson-river wires are down,
and eighteen wires in the east
ern circuit are destroyed between
Port Chester and Greenwich, Conn.
The cross-arms are sawed off in the latter in
stances, and the wires cut besides. The first
wires to go down were those on the eastern
circuit, which were lost about 11:30 o'clock
last night The Others went down shortly
after midnight. A large force of linemen
was sent out to repair the damages, and the
lines are being repaired as rapidly as posi-
BILE. The cutting of the wires interfered with
others across which they fell, SO that the
greatest confusion was created. For long
time this morning" said Somerville, ''busi-
ness was greatly delayed. superintendent
Humistone estimated that when work was be-
gun this morning onc-half the wires to Phil
adelphia, one-quarter OF those to the west.
and one-thrd of the eastern circuits could
not be used. The whole number of
wires cut was eighty nine, but
nearly 200 are rendered useless in conse-
quence. A telegram from Fort Washington
said gang of men had interfered with the
linemen who were repairing the wires there,
and police projection has been asked in case
of interference.
No clew is yet discovered of the authors of
the mischief, although the greatest vigilance
is being exercised. The Western Union com
pany employed detectives to ferret out the
perpetrators of the wire-cuttng 1t was the
general opinion that the striking hnemen
are answerabe for the injuries. The compa-
ny is considerably put out by this new
IN ethod OF warfare.
AT the headquarters of the Brotherhood of
Photographers it was emphaticaliy denied that
the cutting was being done by the striking
Gnemen.
