 During a thunder shower on Fri day both brakemen received a se- were shock while "bleeding the cars" at Camp 2.

COMPANY
STILL MUM ON
MEN BEHIND II

The petition OF the Home Telephone
company for permission TO use the streets
OF this city in furtherance OF its plan 10
enter into competition with the Provi-
dence Telephone company, iS expected 70
come before the common council this
evening
The petition is voluminous document
and was prepared with great care
As II does not state who are behind the
company which asks such a valuable
privilege. another effort was made today
by the 'News-Democrat to ascertain
whether the identity OF it's officials, at
lease. would be disclosed this evening
but without success, the representative
OF the law firm that has immediate
charge OF the petition declaring today:
II have nothing 10 say on the subject"
Business men generally are taking
great interest in the subject as an impress
sion seems 10 prevail among a large num-
ber that the granting OF the petition
would compel them to install another tele-
prone exchange in addition To the ex-
change each OF the large houses now has.
and that this would result In largely In
creasing If not doubling the cost OF their
telephone service.
Attorneys for the new company. by oral
arguments and pamphlets. have sought TO
disabuse the public mind OF this impress
sion producing figures TO show that
where the independent companies are in
the field. principally I'm the west. the cost
of telephone service has been cheapened
and the service largely extended
Thy claim that the cost OF their pro-
posed service in this city would be much
lower and even better than that OF the
present company, which is allied with the
Bell company: and IL Is expected that
some additional facts of interest will be
developed at the hearing. II one Is held in
this city.
The council is not expected 10 act OFF,
hand on such an important matter. the
impression being that the petition Will be
duly referred 10 a committee. which will
hear arguments and possibly conduct an
investigation for itself.
This will necessitate delay, and afford
opportunity for business men to make
inquiries for themselves
