WANTS TO RUN WIRES

The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany hopes not to be kept out of Delaware
business because the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company out sted it in favor of the
Postal lines.
Tuesday Mr.. Phillips, a representative
of the Western Union Company appeared
before the Levy Court in an informal
manner to learn if any objection would be
made to the company's using the public
highways for the erection of its poles and
the stringing of wires. Mr.. Phillips was
instructed to prepare plans of the roads
he desires to use and bring them before
the body. The court would prefer roads
to be used where no lines are strung, but
it is understood that the matter will
be satisfactorily settled and that the COM
pany will be allowed to string its wires.
The line of the Western Union, from
south, passes through Northern Delaware
and it is said to be the object of the CON-
pany to tap this line at Newport and con-
time down the state by way OF New
Castle, Christina, Bear, St. Georges, Odessa,
Middletown, Clayton. As this is as far
as the jurisdiction of the Levy Court, OF
this county extends the continuance OF
the line will be taken up with the two
lower counties. 1t is said that the COM
pany proposes not only to run its line
through the state, but continue down the
peninsula, touching most Of the import
ant towns.
