GRAND SUCCESS

The grand benefit ball given
at the opera house last Monday
evening, under the combined au-
spices of the Ladies of the Mac

hood of Locomotive Engineers,

social events of the season. The
floor space was hardly large
enough to accommodate all
those wishing to enjoy the dan
cling, which commenced about 9
O'Clock and continued until some
time after midnight, the crowd
staying until the last notes of
Home Sweet Home" came float
ing out upon the early morning
breeze. The music was especially
good and proved a strong temp.
tation to many who had intend
ed to be only lockers on.
The Ladies of the 6. |. A. bent
their special efforts to the pre-
pairing and serving of the supper,
tables for which had been ar
ranged on the stage, and right
we'll did they succeed in satisfy.
ing the wants of the hungry,
supper being served about mid
night.
After the dancing had been fin
ished and the last OF the crowd
had been fed, it was found that
there were still some edibles lett.
The ladies decided to auction
these and through the kindly
offices OF Gus Hansen, who made
;tn ideal auctioneer, the financial
end of the undertaking was con
siderably augmented thereby.

SAYS W. u. CO.
DISCRIMINATES

New York, February THE
Postal Telegraph Gable company
charged unreasonable and dis
criminatory methods on the
Western Union Telegraph com
panies by the Upstate Public
Service commission at Albany
yesterday.
The principal which the Postal
claims the Western Union is vio-
lating affecting the whole basis
of all interstate business carried
on by common carriers, and
vitally affects competition in
telegraphing, not only to many
points in New York state, but
to thousands of small towns
from the Atlantic to Pacific, and
the action of the Postal com
pany assumed double import.
ance when 1T was stated in the
argument of general counsel,
William w. Cook, of the Postal
company, that the same ques-
ton which the public service
commission is now asked to de-
eide will later be brought before
the Inter-S State Commerce com
mission.
The practice to which the
Postal takes exception is the un-
reasonable and discriminatory
messages transferred from the
Postal to the Western Union
lines, at intermediate points of
transfer, to reach points where
the Postal has no off .es. To
every one of these messages the
Western Union adds four or five
words to indicate the name and
date of transfer point aud com
pels the postal to pay for these
words at the regular rate as
though they were written in the
body OF the message. The testi-
mony showed that in many in
stances this caused a positive
loss in money to the Postal
company, as this local charge is
greater than the entire amount
received by the Postal company
from the customer, and also that
the extra words charged were
unnecessary for the public as
well as for the purposes of the
Western Union.
Notwithstanding there are
many points where The Western
Union have no Offices, the Postal
company does not exact similar
payment from the Western
Union for messages transferred
to the Postal company under
similar circumstances.
The testimony also showed
that the Western Union were
discriminating against the Pos
tai in that the former company
does not make similar charges
on such messages transferred
by the telephone companies, and
the Public Service commission
was asked to order the Western
Uuion to discontinue this prac-
tiCe. Prominent officials of both
telegraph companies were pres
ent and testified.
Rush Taggart, the general
counsel for the Western Union
company opposed the applica-
ton.
The lawyers were directed to
file printed briefs with the com
1t is expected a decision will
be rendered within the next
thirty or sixty days.
