TIE POSTAL co mrANY,s CLAIM.
It Wants to Have tho Same Use of the
Telephone That It's Rival Has.

Telephone That It's Rival Has.
Argument has begun In the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals In Phila-
delphia yesterday before Judges Acheson,
Butler and Green, upon an appeal from
the granting OF a mandsmus by Judge
Wales, in this city, in a telephone litiga-
tion.
A little more than two years ego the
Delaware and Atlantic Telegraph and
Telephone Company refused to supply the
Postal Telegraph Gable Company. tele-
phone transmitter and receiver on the
ground thai It need not grant the Postal
the same privileges, given the Western
Union Telegraph Company, because the
latter had secured. by contract, the exclu-
sive right to the use of its service.
Judge Wales's strong opinion which
has already been published in the EVEN
ING JOURNAL, was read
For the elephone company, Mr. Buck.
ingham argued that the furnishing by
the telephone company to the telegraph
company Of the telephone conneetion
would violate the exclusive rights se-
cursd by the Western Union Telegraph
Company; that by the contract Of the
10th day of November, 1879, between the
Western Union Telegraph Company and
its associates and the National Bell Tele-
phone Company the Delaware and Allan
tic Telegraph and Telephone Company
was wholly without right of authority to
furnish sueh telephone connec-
tions to the telegraph company; that
no other telegraph company was able to
pay what the Western Union gave for
the privilege and that theWestern Union,
by vir ue of the November TO- 1879, con-
tract gave the Bell company an exclusive
license under all Of its telephone patent
and Inventions for seventeen years, re.
serving to Itself the legal title, and also
the exclusive right to their use as we'll as
the right to use the Inventions already
owned by the Bell Company, the legal
u le still remaining in the Western
Union, and at the expiration OF the con-
tract 1t will resume full control the
patents, eAcept that the Bell Company
will retain license to use, but net the
exclusive right.
The brief and argument by Mr.. Bates
was much shorter than those Of Mr.
Buckingham, but Mr. Bates will present
more arguments do day. He claimed
that the telegraph is means OF inter
state commerce, and as such is entitled
TO the protection and regulation of Con-
gress and subject to the jurisdiction oi
United States courts; that other tele
graph companies have obtained the pre-
else relief asked for by the Postal Com
pany against clsims under the Bell Tele-
phone Company of Philadelphia and the
American Bell of Massachusetts,; thai
In a case in Missouri Judge Brewer
held that when the licensor permitted
the establishment of telephone system
by license. it put that system within
the control of the State of Missouri and
Of the courts, and enforcing the obliga
tion Of common carrier. and that the
moment the owner of property sppro
priated It to public use it became
subject to the laws regulating sucl
property. and Mr.. Bates argued that thil
| doctrine applies as we'll TO patent rights
as to any other species Of property.
The argument will be resumed to-day.

Trouble Now

Detectives Witsil and McVey went TO
Middletown on the Norfolk express at
10 05 this morning. From there they In
tended TO drive to Cecilton, Md, to see
the two men captured there yesterday at
!. 40 o'clock.
A message was received here that a
man had escaped from Elkton jail. The
police were at once notified to watch all
railroads and roads leading from Elkton.
IL was not known when the message
was received that the men were at Elk
ton. but It was afterwards ascertained d
that the sheriff was in the act of placing
the men In cell when one of them es-
capped A man was sent to Perryville to
watch for the escaped man.
1t seems that the three surviving
burglars separated, one going down the
Delaware road and the other two, strik-
ing for the Sassafras river, intending TO
board Baltimore boat. They missed
connection with the morning boat and
the chase was too hot for them to linger.
Because OF their unfamiliarity With the
locality they retreated down a neck of
land which ran to a point, where they
found themselves hemmed In by water

PETERSBURG BUYS A RAIL r DAD.
The Virginia and Carolina Railroad Sold
to the COckade City.


The Virginia and Carolina railroad was
sold ct auction by MIR. N. w. Bowe yester-
day o few minutes after IL o'clock. and
was knocked out to the city of Peters
burg" for the very small sum of SIS, 900.
The first bidder was Mr.. Ned Cummins.
who offered $4,000 for the line. Mr.. Bowe
cried the bid for a few minutes. when Mr..
S. W. Venable. of the Finance Committee
of the Petersburg Council, raised 1t TO
$4,000. Further effort was made Ill vain
for short time to increase this sum. but
no one Offering moro, Mr.. Bowe said " If
the city of Petersburg will walk down to
Mr.. Wellfords Office we will fix this n.y."
In accordance with this request Messrs.
s. w. Venable. George Davis, Charles Wat
son. and w. X. Mckinney, of the commit
tee, and City-Attorney +. X. Lassiter went
with him. and the sale was cohsummated.
The Cockade City, which holds 100000
worth of first mortgage bonds OF the road,
with about so, GOO interest, will hold the
road until a good opportunity offers for
sale.
The Virginia and Carolina Railroad Com
pany was organized about ten years ago,
and the road was TO run from Warren
Junction, a point on the Raleigh and Gas
ton railroad. to Richmopd-a distance of
about 100 miles. Petersburg subscribed
100000 towards the enterprise. and IN re-
turn received first-mortgage bonds, while
$500. 900 was put in by other parties.
Nearly the entire road bed from Peters
burg to Warren was paid for. About forty
miles from the Cockade City, south. was
graded, but no rails were ever laid. The
order under which the road was to be sold
was entered by Judge Leake.
The line was sold in August, 1888. and
the company reorganized. but no work was
ever done under the new regime.
