CHICAGO, March 2. - When the
the Mutual Union Telegraph Company
Was granted the right of way into the
city proviso was inserted in the fran
cbise obliging the company to remove
their poles and put their wires under
ground before March l, 1888. This
was not done, and to-day, by order of
the Mayor, all the wires Of the COM
pany at the southern city limits were
cut and the police stationed to prevent
the company from putting them MP
again. The Board of Trade Telegraph
Company has no franchise, and its
wires were cut, together with the wires
leased by it from the Baltimore g. OHIO
Company. Thus the Offices of the
Mutual Union and Board of Trade
Telegraph Conn aaies of this city are
entirely cut off from the outside world.
and one press association is prevented
from from getting its news inside the
city limits except by messenger. The
Mutual Union Company endeavored to
comply with the ordinance and laid its
cables underground, but they did not
prove successful.
