Philadelphia Millionaires Suffer Heavy Losses

Great losses have recently been sustained by a group of Philadelphia millionaires. Some of these are said to be crippled. The movement is said to be the result of a campaign of revenge carried on against those who were instrumental in destroying about $5,000,000 worth of Western Union Telegraph wires some months ago, when as a result of litigation the Western Union was ordered to remove its wires from the right-of-way of certain large railroad companies. The aggregate losses are placed in the hundred millions.
