Erie Railroad Complication.
Z Anew suit against the directors of the
Erie Railway Company was begun in the
Supreme Court Chambers, before Judge
Sutherland. to-day, on the application oi
August Belmont. The complaint is found
ed on affidavits by Frank Work and 9TH
ers, substantially setting forth that the
money of the Erie Company has been used
by Messrs. Gould, Fisk and Lane, in fur
therance of stock specular ions for their
private interests. The affidavits further
set forth that recently Lane was insolvent
and Fisk was an adventurer from New
England. It also alleged in the laffidavits
that Pixies Opera House was purchased
in the sole name of Fisk, with money OF
the company to the, amount of $S50000.
Messrs. Fisk, Gould and Lane are mrther
charged with having issued from $23 3,000.-
coo to $50, 100000 of the spurious shares,
with a view of creating corner in, Wall
street The affidavits further allege that
the above named individuals have denied
the other directors access to the books. and
in fact managed the affairs of the company
exclusively for their own interest and In
the most reckless manner. Judge Snther-
land granted an Injunction which directs
the officers and agents of the company TO
refrain from increasing the capital stock
of the Erie Railway Company beyond
the amount now outstanding aud in the
hands OF bona fide holders, and also orders
that the defendants refrain from removing
any of the books. papers, securities or
funds of the Company from the jurisdic-
ton of the Court, and directs That the
funds shall be applied for no purpose but
the payment of the. legitimate debts and
expenses of the Company, the balance to
be disposed of in such manner as the Court
may from time to, time direct. The Court
also orders that the officers and agents OF
the Company shall refrain from in any
manner obstructing any of the directors
from examining any OF the books of the
said Company.
Another suit has been been instituted by
Charles McIntosh, against the directors
and August Belmont, in which an inJunc :
ton has been obtained, but whether this is
in aid or against the first suit does not ap-
pear. ''a' 81 "a Lass
