Tho Postal Teicgnph's Contention With
the Telephone Company in tho United
States Appellate Court.

Tho Postal Teicgraph's Contention with
tho Telephone Company in the United
States Appellate Court.
Before Judges Acheson, Butler and
Green, in the United States circuit
appellate, Philadelphia, Wednesday, the
fight that is heing waged between the
Postal Telegraph Company and the
Western unioE and Bell Telephone
companies to peevcnt the Postal from
obtaining telephone service in their
Wilmington office again came up. The
final disposition of this case will decide
whether the telephone company can
refuse service to telegraph company
which is working in opposition to the
Western Union.
About three years ago the Postal
Telegraph Company made application
to the Delaware d. Atlantic Telegraph
and Telephone Company, the local
organization of the Bell Telephone
Company in Delaware, for a telephone
connection in its Wilmington office.
This was refused by the local company
and the Postal applied to the state
court on March sth, 1890, fer writ Of
mandainus TO compel the telephone
company to give it a telephone. The
defendants secured transfer of the
case to the United States circuit court,
where il was argued in April last before
Judge Wales.
There was a long argument on each
side, George IL. Bates appearing for the
Postal Company and G. l.. buckingham
and Il. G. Bradford for the telephone
company. Judge Wales on June 18th
last delivered long opinion, in which
he decided that the writ OF mandamus
asked for should be awarded. Appeal
was then taken.
REGIMENTS or COUNSEL.
Mr. Buckingham in his argument
said that the Delaware & Atlantic
Company was licensed by the Bell
Company, and under that license could
not grant the connection asked for by
the Postal. Why the suit should not
have been brought against the owner of
the license is obvious. The Delaware IL
| Atlantic Company in sense is Ii COM
mon carrier Of news, and thus il was
possible by beginning with this fact to
maintain, though fallacously, that its
! common carrier obligations equally ex-
tend TO all classes of the public, though
IN resorting to this common carrier ex.
| pcdient the court below has virtually
been forced to hold that the Delaware Il
Atlantic must in performing these obi.
cations, use not only its own property
but that owned by another as we'll.
lie continued at some length AS to the
rights of the Western Union in the
matter, and quoted opinions in support
of his arg'imcEt. He was followed by
| MIR. Bates.

TWO MURDERERS LYNCHED.

Taken From the Officers. Hanged to n
Tree and Their Bodies Riddled with
Bullets.
WAERENToN, Va, March iS.--Lee IIenin
and Joseph Dye, both white farm hands,
were lynched this morning for the murder
Of Mrs. Hines and her three children near
Calverton, Fauquicr county, in November
last. Yesterday 1t became rumored that
party of lynchers would break into the
jail at this place last night and lynch the
prisoners. With view of circumventing
the lynchers the prisoners were taken out
secretly last night and started toward
Gainesville, on the Manassas Gap rail
road. The party, which left in wagon,
consisted of six persons-Deputy Sheriffs
Brawner and Petit, two Jail guards and
the two prisoners
At O'clock this morning about 50armed
men came 10 Warrenton and proceeded at
once To the jail. They demanded admit
lance, and it was granted, when they found
that the prisoners had been taken away.
The ground was covered with newly-fallcn
snow and the lynchers followed the track
about II miles below Warrenton, in the
direction Of Gainesville. The lynchers
rode up suddenly on the prisoners. Dye
was singing hymn, God BE With You
Till We Meet Again" The head of the
team was seized and 40 or 50 revolvcrs
covered the iailers and their prisoners. A
few seconds suiliced to drag out Dye and
Hetln, who begged for mercy. and were
told that they should have such mercy as
they had given the widow and her chill
dren. Dye declared that Hehin was the
cause of the murder, but no time was
spent in parey, and in a few minutes the
murdcrers were dangling in the air from
| the largest tree in the neighborhood. They
| struggled in choking to death, and were
| "A. l.nsr
| 1t was just 2 O'clock when the deed was
| completed.
This morning Acting Coroner Wharton
held an inquest at the place of execution
and the seven jurors returned n verdict
that "Dye and llefin were dead by the
hands of persons unknow to the jury"
THE CRIME.
Helm and Dye were sentenced in Janu-
AIRY to be hanged at Warrenton between q
and O'Clock this morning for the murder
| of Mrs. kincs and her three children, near
| Calvcrton, on November 9th last, both men
| having been tried and convicted of the
murder. Fearing similar attempt on
| their lives, the two men were taken from
| Warrenton to Alexandria on November
| 9th and confined in jail there till Deem
Der 2sth, when they We're brought back for
trial. After the men had been convicted
| Dyes counsel secured writ of error from
the court of appeals, and last week llctlin
was respited by the governor for 60 days to
await the result Of the new trial should
Dye secure one. Tho people Of Warrenton
and vicinity, convinced that the men were
guilty Of the horrible murders, and fear
ing that the course of the law might in
some way be turned aside, determined to
take matters in their own hands, and the
result is given abovc When Heflin was
first arrested he confessed having muir
| dcred Mrs Hines and her children but he
afterward retracted, and declared Dye did
the killing in his presence. The object Of
the murder was money, and they secured
| about $40.
