The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Company has
claim against tho Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad
Company amounting oi3 an action TO recover
which brought before the Superior Court In Cincin-
natl the 10th inst The demand Is made Tor damages
suffered and to be suffered by the lrs named corporation
in consequence of the breaking OF the contract on the
part OF the Indianapolis and Cincinnati road existing be-
tween the two compani according to which the latter
was privileged the track Of tbs former from Gin
cinnat TO Lawrenccburg The agreement in substance
was that the indianapolis and Cincinnati Company bound
itself for the privilege OF using the Ohio Mississippi
road between Lawrenceburg and Cincinnati, to pay
over to the latter company all the nngs between
the two places and never TO carry any St Louis
freight The contract was for thirty years. The
defence will not deny having broken the agree
mont, but they claim that the conditions were
onerons and imposed upon them when thoy unable
to do BETTER also that the contract osered monopoly
and was opposed to the public good and therefore VOID
in law. The claim Of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
Company is regarded as the same in principle as the
effort OF tho Western Union Telegraph Company to the
exclusive use OF certain railroad lines for Geographic
purposes which recently decided against them by
the United States Circuit Court in Cincinnati. The
Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad Company, as soon
they could better their condition by the purchase Of
the Whitewater Canal, broke their contract, and aban
doned the track of the Ohio and Mississippi road relying
on the principle Of the public good being paramount for
their vndication.
