TO FIGHT THE WESTERN UNION.
The National Company Purchased by
the Baltimore and OhiO-Both Con-
trOlIed by the Railroad

The National Company Purchased by
the Baltimore and OhiO-Both Con-
trOlIed by the Railroad.
The National Telegraph Company yes
terday passed into the control of the Bal
timore and Ohio Telegraph Company.
says the New York Herald of the 29th.
The latter, as is generally known, is
owned by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. The National Company mas been
in the market for some time, and is the
line which a committee of the Produce
Exchange recently urged the Exchange
to buy, so as to be independent of West
ern Union dictation.
The negotiations leading up to the sale
of the National were completed Yesterday
by the payment of the price in cash by
the Baltimore and Ohio, and the formal
transfer thereupon took place in the Office
of the Baltimore and Ohio, in the Mills
building. How much money was paid is
not positively known. The officers of
both companies refuse to make the fact
public, but it was probably about
$500, 200. as the Produce Exchange could
have purchased the National for that sum
last summer.
Mr.. ID. II. Bates, President and General
Manager of the Baltimore and Ohio TeIe-
graph Company, said that the National is
thoroughly equipped, with 1000 miles of
wire and LOCO miles of poles. 1t has four
wires-twO Of No. 6 and two Of No. gauge
between New York and Chicago. ex-
tending along the lines of the West Shore
and the Nickel Plate, by way of Albany,
Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo and
Cleveland. The Baltimore and Ohio Sc
cures all the plant, together with the
capital stock, amounting 10 $1,000, 900,
and the franchises and contracts of the
National.
1t is understood that the National was
sold because its owners could not operate
it to advantage, lacking terminal faciIi-
pany can use the new accession as a
powerful aid in its sharp rivalry with the
Western Union.
