 -Springfeld Republican, March 18th A lively electric light war is inaugurated at Rockville between the local gas and electric light company and the proposed new merchants electric light company. The local company have a charter from the legislature and also plant in opera tion. The merchants are not willing to pay their price for commercial electric lights, and have organized stock compa. ny to light their own stores. An agent of the local company informed J. 0. Whit. tlesey, who has the electric clock plant, that if he continued with the merchants company the clocks would be ordered out of number of mills. He also informed F. I. Hartenstein that he would lose trade if he continued with the new company The merchants were very indignant over the boycott, and are only the more de termined to continue with the merchants company. Many of the principal business blocks in the city are owned by members of the gas company, and it is said tha they will refuse to allow the merchants company to run their wires into theil stores. Both companies have secured counsel. The gas company represent nearly all of the manufacturers and prom inent men of the city, and the stock ha. paid big dividends.
