CITY TELEGRAPH SERVICE.
What the western Union Claim Is
GoThetr Facilities.

In the announcement of the decision Of
the Postal Telegraph Co 10 establish an
office in this city, In an evening paper yes
terday the local service Of lbs Western
Union Co was seri 1usly commented upon. IL
WAS charged with beiug wretcned and ineffi-
cient. Upon inquiry It is found that
no complaints or charges OF delay have
been brought 10 the notice OF the manage
ment. The facilities are claimed to TO first
class. When the Baltimore aud Ohio Of
fee was doing business in this city, both les
office and Western Union office closed at 10
p. m. After the B. & o Office was shut up
and without any pressure having been
brought on them at all the Western Union
Co. began 10 keep their office open until
| q. IN, ard have done 90 sincs. This has
necessitated the employment OF an addf
tion operator. the expense II which, the
company claim, Is not justified by the
amount Of business done If .er 10 o'clock.
Therefore, instead OF the facilities being
reduced after the closing OF the B. & o.
office, the manager claims thoy we're in
creased, and believe they are giving lrst-
class telegraph service.
The Western Union Co. has 100 wires
running at the office at 8 and Market Sts..
so to the north and 80 TO the south. These
are manned by corps Of careful and ex-
perienced operators and all business en-
trusted to the Office is handled with the
utmost despatch.
The management also claim that the fa-
cilitiss OF the company which proposes to
open an Office here are mebgre and they do
not believe that such company can
improve on the w. u. Service.
In regard to the call box system. ID Is
said that il has been kept Ia operation since
the Baltimore and Ohio closed it's office and
the reason for is working as badly a.
some complain IL has Is on account Of the
storms during the winter and the fact that
whenever builder fnis wire in his way
he cuts 1t and throws It aside
without giving any notice al ali
the ofise The break has then to be hunted
up by the llnemen and It sometimes takes
an entire day 20 find it The active build.
ing operations in the city for the past
three months, with the conse
quent wire cutting, have handicapped
the service badly. The msnags ment say
that the call box system has never beer
abandoned since the b. &. o office wal
closed. IL has been kept Ia operation, sub.
jset 80 such disturbances as mentioned.

The Wires Worked Fast.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-The immense tele- graphic facilities it required to distribute tho proceedings of the Democratic National Con- vention to the press may be judged when it is stated that the Western Union Telegraph Company alone handled and transmitted over the wires an aggregate of 2, ,151, ,791 words. This consisted of regular press reports, spe- cial dispatches to the leading journals of. the country, and bulletins which were flashed over the wires to every city and town in: the land. Of this great amount of news the Associated Press furnished nearly 10000 words. In addition, 57.426 messages, aver aging perhaps fifteen words each and per- taining directly to the Convention and its result, were handled. by the Western Union Company, making grand total of almost 3,OOO,OOO words, or nearly, 2,O00 newspaper columns of matter.
