WEST ERN UNION
TOLD TO VACATE
Pennsy Preparing to Take
Telegraph Business on
p, B. & w. Road

Preparations are being made by the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company to take
over the telegraph business on the Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington Rail
road Company after May p. On this date
the contract with the Western Union Tele-
graph Company expires. The telegraph
company has been notified by President
Cassatt to vacate the buildings and re-
move the wires and poles by that date.
The telegraph business on the Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Wilmington railroad,
or until recently the Philadelphia, VIII
mington and Baltimore railroad, has been
done exclusively by the Western Union
Telegraph Company. The railroad COM
pany owned no wires and leased the SER
vice from the Western Union Telegraph
Company. Last year when the telegraph
company was notified to vacate the lines
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
similar notice was given as regards the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
railroad.
Although the agreement will expire nexl
month 1t Is likely that the Western Union
Telegraph Company will ask for an in
junction restraining the railroad company
from interfering with its poles and wires
Since the telegraph company was notified
the railroad has erected a line of its owr
on the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash.
tngton railroad. II will have by May p
twelve TO fifteen through wires between
this city and Washington. four on the
Central division and six on the Delawar,
division in operation.

Tillison appeared to be indignant when
the Officers explained their business,
and on the way to this city asked many
questions concerning the charge

ed for day CIR two, as the net Of evil
dence which the authorities are slow
ly weaving about him is not yet fully

woman to whom it is said Tillison told
the story of the crime. If this woman
can be made to talk there is no question
but what the prisoner will be held to

penalty of which in this State is death.
When this woman is found and it is
proved That the authorities have the

to face the suspect for the purpose o.
identifying him. She refuses. however
