TEE TELEPHONE WIRES CASE
JUDGE JAMES EXPLAINS THE RECENT DECISION OF IN
COURT.

In the Court in General Term. n the case OF the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co. agt. The
National Safe Deposit CO. and the District OF Co
lumbia, the coinplainants this morning moved for
rehearing. The court had MADE decree On the
goth instant refusing the injunction ana dismiss
ing the bill, which sought to restrain the defend
ants from molesring the complainants' cable wires
at 18th street and New York avenue.
Mr.. c. j. NJ. Gwynn, OF Baltimore, and Mr.. N.
Wilson appear for the Telephone Co.. and in the
petition for a rehearing state that the District
Commissioners construe the opinion OF the court
to mean that they fthe CommiSsioners) had no
power TO require the wires TO be laid, and when
laid, TO be kept anywhere under the sidewalks
within the curb line, and IL is said the Commls-
sioners state that they have no power TO authorize
the occupation OF rOadways by cables TO author
ize the erection or poles. There were 391 sub
Scrfbers TO the telephone service cut on because
they cannot lay down the cables or erect poles.
Judge James said that the court had simply de-
ctGed that the Commissioners had power to revoke
authority to trench, &C. that they could not grant
irrevOcable right. AS far as the court was con-
cerned the Commissioners could give permission
to place the wires elsewhere.
the complainaLtS asked the rehearing, because
OF the alleged misinterpretation or the opinion
that the motion In the me meantime remain In statu
Quo-the wires still cut and the pavement unlaid.
Mr.. Perry said the pavements were being relaid
under permit.
The court took the papers and will announce the
decision tomorrow,
