INJUNCTION AGAINST THE BALTIMORE AND
ONO RAILRoAD.-This injunction granted
by the Circuit Court, on a bill filed by the
city of Wheeling, forbds the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad making any connexion withthe
Central Ohio Railroad at Benwood, which is
four miles below Wheeling, on the Ohio
river, on the Virginia side, and directly oppo-
site the town of Bellaire, where the Ohio
Central Railroad terminates. The Baltimore
American states that the connexion at Ben
wood is proposed to be by means of steam
boat, which is to carry the cars across the
river similarly to the arrangement ON the
Philadelphia railroad at the Susquehanna
river, which boat is now being built in
Wheeling.
The American thinks that the Branch to
Benwood has been already built, but the in
junction will probably prevent it from being
used. 1t states that the bill filed by the city
of Wheeling claimed:
