 The Confederate was A. R. McLain. who was member of the cavalry and the federal was John Wallace and the in- cident which was related was one In which McLain was in hot pursuit of the federal, both being on horseback and the

New York, April 1S.-(Special)-In abso- lute good faith and without any mental reservation the American Telephone and Telegraph company and the Western Union Telegraph company have been severed. The dissolution of the bond by which these two organizations were con- nected is in obedience to the direction of the department of justice at Washington. Yet no one who of late has had con versation with the president, Theodore N. Vail has read carefully his recently published report when resigning from the Western Union directorate and from all the official association with that corpo- ration, can doubt that he is convinced that a grievous economic mistake has been made. It is one from which the stockholders of these two corporations will suffer less than the people as a whole, in his view.
 There were in his mind vast develop ments of the telephone and telegraph business, so great development that he believed it to be possible for much the greater part of the commercial business of the United States and a considerable poIllon ol tue communications WHICH have hitherto been carried through the mails to be committed to the telegraph and to the telephone companies. A large increase in business of that kind would justify, even compel, improvements and expansions which ultimately might cob web the entire United States. President Vails friends have reason to suspect that it was within his purpose so to perfect improvements as to make a large use of the ocean cables, and at reduced cost, possible.
 The principle upon which the depart- ment of justice acted was the one em- bodied. the department believes, in the Sherman law. If one of the two
