Judgment Against the Western Union. St. Louis, January 5. In the case of the city of East St. Louis against the Western Union Telegraph Company, on the charge that the oompany's poles and wires were a nuisance and in violation of a city ordinance, ordi-nance, Justice Shea gave a judgment for the city of $50 and costs. An appeal was at once taken. The case will probably be carried car-ried to the Supreme Court, -and the question definitely settled whether the company has a right to maintain its poles in the city. -
