A Western Union Man Makes
Some COMPREHENSIVE
Money Invested.

NEE YORK. Feb Samuel S. Bogart,
for many years chief electrician of the West
ern Union resigned TO so into the employ of
the Baltim re & Ohio. This movement is
interpreted on the street to mean that the
Baltimore & Ohio is seeking to gain needed
strength ana at the same time annoy the
Western Union As much as possible The
rumor of a consolidation is denied by both
sides
Vice President Van Horne, of the Western
Union Telegraph company, being shown
Robert CARROTS statement that the W estern
Union was carrying too heavy a load, said:
We are willing to make a comparison with
the Baltimore 4 Ohio people For Instance,
on the basis of pole line Western Union has
10000 miles, and the Nickel Plate and
West Shore have $50 miles Now
$50 miles at $S000o is $s24 per
mile. Western Unions I5U,001 miles
at S824 per mile would he $40, 300, 600.
On the basis of wire Nickel Piaten and West
Shore have four wires each $50 miles long,
making a total of $500 miles; Western
Unions miles Of wira are about 450 900.
Nickel Plates 3 800 miles at $500 900 would
be 500 per mile; Western Union, 450, 900
miles, at S210 per mile woald be S34 800, 900.
1t appears, therefore, that the Western
Union companys wire lines would be worth
on the basis of the price paid by
the Baltimore and Ohio people for
the "Nickel-Plate" and West Shore lines,
about S94, 500, 900. and the Western Union
company's pole line would be worth on the
same basis, about sl26, 800, 900
The Jersey Central and Reading roads will
sever their connection with the Western
Union at the conclusion of their present con
tract, and it is said will Join the Baltimore &
Ohio combination.
ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. An examination
of the records shows that within the las,
three years the number of companies incor
porated under the telegraph companies ACT
is 1856, with capital OF S225 $50, o9B This
inclndes telephone companies. and sehomes
for the promotion Of every rhaso
| of electrical contrivances for transmit
ting of intelligence. In no other single
| line do the records of the secretary Of stats
show anything like the competition Illus
trated by These figures, This condition o.
| things in this state has persistency, in view
of the discussions at Washington t.
whether the government shall go into thu
telegraph business.

Mr.. Belmont also differs from tina. csmmis-

not more than twenty inspectors will be
needed Mr. Belmont believes the number
necessary will run up into the hundreds,
and Representative O'Neii of Missouri,
differs from Belmont He thinks that the
proposition to provide inspectors is wise but
he is not in favor of acting on the matter
hastily. Mr., Belmont has resolution pre-
pared that the Judiciary, committee report

gress to consider this matter, and whether it

About Texas Fence Cutters.

NEw YORK, FED. 1.-The Sun has com
munication defending the fence cutters of
Texas 1t says: by the homestead laws
public lands were reserved for actual settlers
They went there under this pledge, and in
time acquired herds of cattle, did we'll and
encouraged others to follow their example
When it was seen that the buSinss s. of r.iIng
cattle was profitable, large ca, itaiist5. non
residents, many of the IN foreigners, engaged
in the business, bought out. some REACHES,
and brought herds of cattle from Texas and
elsewhere. They then set to work stretching
wire fences across the country SO as to ex-
clude the cattle of settlers from grazing on
the lands except in their immediate nei sh-
borhood. By this means they are driving set
tiers from the country. 1t is called freezing
them out They thus wholly defeat the OBJ
ject Of the homestead law and prevent
the settlement of the country. The settlers
have taken their families and made that
country their home Ths country is fit for
nothing but raising cattle. If settlers are
deprived of this resource they must leave
They know this, and believing that the ex
Guiding of them from the range is viola
ton of their rights, they have in many cases
cut these fences. They cannot contend with
rich companies unless the government passes
stringent laws to protect settlers from such
encroachments" -

oyster vessels over the capture of the oyster
schooner Ada Luddington, of Cambridge,

in Virginia water Tuesday last. On that day
eighteen vessels were dredging, when

She came up among them and hoisted the
American flag. One of the captains
thus describes the scene: With regular
war whoop, her hold disgorged thought
nearly 100 men. She carried cannon. My
vessel received the first charge. We were all
taken by surprise. So terrified were the
crews that but few showed presence of mind
sufficient to shake out the reef of the sails so
as to get away. The Ada Luddington had
gotten before the wind, before the Virginans
brought their guns TO bear upon her.
They happened 10 be near, and at once gave
