Baltimore, Dec. 9.-For some lime pa st
credence has been given d rumor that an
arrangement had been, or was supe TO be-
effected between the Postal Telegraph Com
paDy and the Columbia Maryland Railway
Company, by the terms OF which the former
would obtain a valuable grant bet ween
Baltimore and Washington.
According 10 report, il was intended by
the Postal Company to string its wires
along the boulevard line of The electric
railway shortly TO connect the two cities,
thus not only securing the right of way,
but escaping The expense Of erecting and
stringing poles along the route.
1t Is probable that the arrangement
provided that each company should share
equitably in the cost of erecting the joint
system of telegraph and trolley. That so
close connection OF the two might have
resulted in more or less trouble arising
from Induction, was "A contingency which
doubtless materially Influenced the Postal
Company's officials In New York, who
have recently had the proposed arrange
ment In hand.
1t is claimed that unless the telegraph
wires should be strung some thirty or
forty feet higher than the trolley the now
erful fDductiye force of the latter would
In all proba btlity, hinder satisfactory trans
mission. In some circles, however, 1t Is
believed that the experiment has hinged
all along upon an agreement as to terms
between the two companies, the Columbia
and Maryland being credited with holding
out for greater concessions than the Postal
people were willing TO grant. At any rate,
whether anything comes Of the scheme in
the future or not, it is certain that the
particular deal described has fallen through.
