STREETS RUINED BY
PEOPLES RAILWAY
Drivers Shun Thoroughfares
Traversed by Cars and Are
Greatly Discounted

The failure of the Peoples Railway Com
pany to repair the streets on which their
lines run IS meeting with protest from all
sides, but particularly from the residents
of Washington Heights, and Twenty-third
street, who have to do any driving. and
from all the merchants and others who de-
liver goods in that section.
The worst conditions exist along WASH
dngtOn street beginning at Twenty-third
and extending TO Thirtieth street. Down
the hill the water has washed the clay
away from the tracks and has left the
cross ties and stones exposed so that the
street is abandoned by all teams that are
not absolutely forced to travel over 1t.
on either side Of the rails there is a
rut almost six inches deep and in wet
weather the water fills this rut and the
wheels Of THE wagons tumble in holes.
Several springs and wheels have been
broken.
These conditions exist on Second West
Of Broome. and several other streets in
the city where the ePoples lines run. From
all parts Of the city comes the question:
why is this railway allowed to tear up
the streets and not keep them I'm repair?"
A prominent man who has occasion 10
drive over all the principal streets said:
1t is a disgrace ito the city to have
such streets as have been made by the
Peoples lines. Before they laid tracks on
these thoroughfares there was but ittle
trouble, but since they tore up the streets
to lay their lines they have been in a
terrible condition. cannot see how a
road that is catering to the public for its
support can afford to disregard the law
and the comfort Of those whom they are
catering to in other respects.
In conversation with others who usf
the streets for hauling, I find there is a
strong feeling against the company which
has made no fort TO keep the streets on
which their lines run in even fair state
Of repair"

Wilmington stll swelters in scmmer

WINS LITIGATION
Western Union Telegraph
Lines to be Ousted From
Railroad Property
MUST TAKE DOWN POLES AND WIRES
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is
Sustained BY Courts on All Points in
the controversy-Decree Handed
Down Yesterday.

The Pennsylvania railroad has scored an
Important victory over the Western Union
Telegraph Company in the legal battle
between the two corporations concerning
the rights Of the railroad TO remove the
poles and wires Of the telegraph COM
pany from its right Of way upon the ter
minauon Of the contracts between the two
companies. 4 decree handed down yester-
day by Judge Dallas Of Philadelphia, in
the United states Circuit Court OF APP
peals sustalns the railroads position in
every particular, and dissolvts the in
junction which has prevented the railroad
from summariy removing the telegraph
eompany's property.
The bitter legal controversy between the
two corporations was the outcome of the
Pennsylvania action in Attempting TO
oust the Western Union from its right
of way When the time approached for
the termination OF the old contracts tho
Pennsylvania railroad, falling TO secure
desired concessions from the Western
Union, notified Il to withdraw upon the
termination OF existing contracts, and en-
tered into new contracts with the Postal
Telegraph Company.
The Western Union complied with the
notice to vacate so far as withdrawing
from the discontinuing business IN tho
various stations on the main line and
New York division. It refused however,
to remove ITS poles and wires. and secured
an injunction rdsiratning the railroad
from interfering with them, At the same
time by proceedings IN the United States
District Courts Of New Jersey and the
Western district Of Pennsylvania, the
telegraph company sought 70 secure the
rights to condemn sucn of the property
Of the railroad over which ats wires were
strung.
Judge Burlington. OF the Western Penn
syivania district. dismissed the petition TO
condemn. and refused the injunction to
restrain the railroad from interfering with
the poles and wires along its main line
In the New Jersey proceedings Judge
Kirkpatrick declined to decide the con-
demnaiion point, but continued the In
junction. Both sides appealed from these
respective decisions. and the cases being
identical, it was agreed to hear them as
one case before the Court OF Appeals
argument was hedIN over ihoiiuh ago
and that tribunal in OTIS opinion yester-
day, decides both points i'm favor Of the
railroad
Suts Of a similar character begun by
the telegraph company are now pending
in the District Courts OF Delaware and
Maryland affecting the telegraph lines
along the Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington, and the Baltimore Central
Following yesterdays decisions it is ex-
pected that the Pennsylvania railroad will
promptly begin the work Of removing the
Western Unlon's lines from Its main line
and New York division.

MONTANA HAS
BIG SNOW STORM
Caused Heaviest Cattle and
Sheep Loss in History Of
the State

Great Falls, Mont. May 20-The
heaviest cattle and sheep loss in the
history of Montana, the damage CT
which will be S5.OOO,OOO, has been
caused by the terrible snow storm
which has been raging for the past
three days. In some sections of the
state fully 80 per cent. of the sheep
on the ranges have perished. Three
herders. at least, have wandered away
in the binding storm and have been
frozen to death An aged herder en-
ployed at Portage was lost Sunday.
Two more in the Shelby Junction
country, employed by the Floweree
Cattle Company, are missing, and
there is no hope that they can be
found alive.
Herders have abandoned their focks
on every hand and fed for safety to
the settlements and ranches. Nothing
like the fury of this storm has ever
before been witnessed in Northern
Montana.
A consignment Of 600 cattle bound
for Havre was wiped out, all but five
being frozen to death.
