All Pclei and Wlret Along Railroad In
Pennsylvania and Southern New Jer
sey Removed Postal Company Will
String Wires.
Philadelphia, May 23. At the gen
eral office of (he Pennsylvania Uall
road Company It was stated that the
company would not permit the Postal
Telegraph Company, or any other cor
poration, to ever gain a foothold on
the Peunsylvai.ia's system of road
beds. "We propose to replace the Western
Vnton Telegraph jhiIcs which we
removed with our own poles.
The Postal Company will be given the
I right, where necessary, to string Its
wires on the new hi1cs, but the re
i strictlon will be of such a stringent
character as to preclude disputes as
to the liRht of the Pennsylvania Coal
pany to control Its highways,"
T!.is statement was made by a high
official of the company. The same au
thority dialed that the next onslaught
on the Western Vnlon" poles and
wire would he made In Northern New
Jersey, where Supremo Court Justice
Kllpatrlck 1 expected to hand down
decision similar to that rendered by
Judge Piiiffllngton at Pittsburg. At
the office of the superintendent of tel
egraph at the Hroad Street Station It
was said that all of the Western Un
ion's poles and wires had been cut
down and removed from Rome 1.2t0
miles of roadbed In this State and
Southern New Jersey, or the district
covered by Judge Huffllngton's dects
Ion.
The work of chopping down the
polos, unstringing the wires and piling
them up at various points, subject to
removal by tho owners, wa rushed
on the line loading Into this city as
well as into Camden. Perhaps the
scone of greatest activity was on the
New York division, west of Prtstol,
where two gangs, consisting of about
70 men ach, wore at work.
At several places In Pennsylvania
Mie onslaught on the poles began si
multaneously. Along tho Cumberland
VaJley line, from Chambersburg to
Harrlnburg. the attak waa pushed
steadily. The poles, with all the wires
attached, were thrown over the fences
into the fields as fat as cnt down.

Shortly jitter the orders were receiv

this city southward. On the side lines
tho same condition of affairs prevailed.
Manager Peitz, of the Western Un
