Haw \ ork, Dec. 88.— Notwithstanding the burst of public indignation which followed the raid oC the Western Union t elegraph company upon the wires and othe Of the Banker* and Merchants' 1'oiei-apu company the outrage haC been repeated. This time it wai done in the open street, in full sight of the polioe. Hix miles ot new wires were cut or torn from the poles of tbe United Lines Telegraph company on Christina* day and taken away by a gang of Western Union linemen. The American Rapid I nes were leased to tbo Banker* and Merchant* Telegraph company. When the latter company failed to carry out its financial obligations tbe newly-appointed recalver of the American Rapid company leased tbe lines in bis charge to the Western Union company. The supreme court, not suspecting the raid th Dt was contemplated, Issued an authorizing the receiver of the Rapid American company to turn over the property of that corporation to the Western Union company. Without any warning the Western Union sent a gang of men into tha office of. the Bankers and Merchants' company and carried away all the wires anil instruments They did not discriminate between tl» property of the Bankers anil MerchauV and the American Hlipid, but took everything boldly. KHnoe then the Western Union company has repea'edly cut wires of the United Lines company, which includes the Bankers and Merchants', on tbo ground that they were on American Rapid poles. Judge Wallace not long ago issued an Injunction restraining the extern Union managers from interfering with t ie rival line until the court decided .what wires each company owned. if lebris awn the ai :o the street.

Haw \ ork, Dec. 88.— Notwithstanding the burst of public indignation which followed the raid oC the Western Union t elegraph company upon the wires and othe Of the Banker* and Merchants' 1'oiei-apu company the outrage haC been repeated. This time it wai done in the open street, in full sight of the polioe. Hix miles ot new wires were cut or torn from the poles of tbe United Lines Telegraph company on Christina* day and taken away by a gang of Western Union linemen. The American Rapid I nes were leased to tbo Banker* and Merchant* Telegraph company. When the latter company failed to carry out its financial obligations tbe newly-appointed recalver of the American Rapid company leased tbe lines in bis charge to the Western Union company. The supreme court, not suspecting the raid th Dt was contemplated, Issued an authorizing the receiver of the Rapid American company to turn over the property of that corporation to the Western Union company. Without any warning the Western Union sent a gang of men into tha office of. the Bankers and Merchants' company and carried away all the wires anil instruments They did not discriminate between tl» property of the Bankers anil MerchauV and the American Hlipid, but took everything boldly. KHnoe then the Western Union company has repea'edly cut wires of the United Lines company, which includes the Bankers and Merchants', on tbo ground that they were on American Rapid poles. Judge Wallace not long ago issued an Injunction restraining the extern Union managers from interfering with t ie rival line until the court decided .what wires each company owned. if lebris awn the ai :o the street.

These serve to warm up the furnace preparaiory to it* being subjected to the intense beat which comes when the principal combustion takes place.
