TT WILL MAKE NO BID
CENTRAL UNION SATISFIED WITH
IT'S TELEPHONE FRANCHISE.
Claims 1t Is Furnishing Phones at
Less Rates than the specihca-
tions Provide.

The Central Union Telephone Company
will not be u competitor before the Board
of Works in an effort to secure the new
telephone franchise which the board is to
open bids for April Is. Superintendent W.
A Vail said yesterday that his company
had no intention of bidding.
1--WE have franchise ne said land what
is the use of buying a new one? We viii
allow the other companies to come in if
they wish and win not do anything to in
terfere, either with their coming in or with
their success after they get a franchise.
We do not claim an exclusive franchise,
and il other companies wish to come in and
compete with us they may do so. The sue
cessful bidder for the new franchise may
take some OF our customers from u.s. but
they will eventually come back. 1t is i'm
possible for any new company to give the
service we give. Eighty per cent. of our
subscribers have use for the long-distance
telephone lines. and this service cannot be
given by any new company. We have the
exclusive control Of it, and have spent large
sums of money to perfect it, and are extend
ing it all the time. In the last year we have
spent 100000 extending the lines in Indiana
alone. In the same time we have spent $780,,
600 in indianapolis, putting in plant which
W
world
'As to the cost to subscribers, it is
claimed that the specifications for the new
franchise cut or rates considerably. That
is a great mistake. We are furnishing a
better and a cheaper service than is pro-
posed by the specifications. No new COM
pany can come in and compete with us in
price any more than it can compete in quail
ity of service. The specifications provide
for rates of $40 for business houses and $24
for residences, with additional charges for
distances greater than two miles from Mon
ument place. We offer a good service for
from $12 to $72 a year. The $12 service we
call kitchen line Upon it the sub
scriber call up his grocer his doctor or
his candle maker, as the case may be, but
he cannot be called up. 1t is a One-way line
so far as calling is concerned For SIS a
year we offer complete telephone on the
party-line system, without the lockout and
for $36 we have the party-iine telephones
with the lockout system, making it abso-
lutely secret and equal to the best service.
The single telephone system costs from $50
to $72 year.
I'VE cannot cut these rates and make
anything. Our plant and system represents
large outlay OF money. and it is not rea-
sonabIe to expect that the returns shall not
pay interest on the investment. But the
rates are lower now than proposed by the
new specifcations, and why should we Of
Ter another bid? We have franchise for
which we pay the city 5000 annually, and
are satisfied with it,
Bids will be received Monday April IS,
from the companies desiring to enter into
competition with the Central Union Com
pany. The bidders will be the New Tele-
phone Company, the Citizens Cooperative
company. the company representing the
Commercial Club and Potts plan and an un-
known company.

INTI.REsTING EXPERIENCE
OF Gettysburg Pilgrims-COl. "BOb's"
Thirst.


Gettysburg, Pa, Sept. 29.-Sev-
eral West Virginia veterans who
came to Gettysburg for the dedica-
ton of the monuments erected by
the state here, had interesting ex-
periences. In 1868 the Eighty
seventh Pennsylvania regiment was
doing duty in and about Grafton,
w. Va, and were brigaded with the
Tenth West Virginia regiment.
The quartermaster OF the former
was James Hersh, since sheriff OF
this county, and now living in Get
tysburg.
The quartermaSter of the latter
was Major &c. Gluck. Soon after
they were separated aad they
had not seen each other for thirty
six years. Yesterday as the Second
West Virginia regiment of which
Mayor Gluck is now quartermaster,
marched up the streets of the town,
Captain Hersh recognized the pres
ent officer as his friend of war
times, so many years ago. They
embraced and have been recounting
many anecdotes and experiences OF
those exciting days.
An interested spectator ofyester-
DAYS exercises-he could not be a
participant, for he was in the Con-
federate service-was Col. Bob"
McEldowney, editor of the New
Martinsville Democrat. He arrived
in Gettysburg on the evening of
July I, SO, and remembered hav-
ing secured a drink in saloon then
kept in the basement of the Eagle
hotel. The colonel is not a drink
ing man, but he started out to find
his old establishment, saying if he
succeeded he thought he would
have to repeat the experience just
for associations sake and to keep
him from being lonely. He failed
in his search, and continued his
thirst of thirty-fve years standing.
Colonel Casteel received this
morning a change of orders which
permits the regiment to remain in
town over Sunday. On Monday
they 60 to York to remain a few
days during the York fair, and
thence to Camp Meade. The
soldiers spent the day on the battle
field, and this evening gave a dress
parade, which was witnessed by
Governor Atkinson, the battlefield
commissioners aud large con-
course of citizens. The governor
delayed his departure for Baltimore
and will start in the morning.
