The hearing of the injunction case brought
against the Maine Central by John Ware, at
Bangor, resulted in dismissal of the bill
The Court held that the proposed change OF
gauge was not depreciation of the property,
such as would justify 4 decree of restraint,
and refused the prayer Of the petitioners.
The Bangor Wing says
Before the Railroad case came on Yesterday, VIM.
G. Crosby Esq. filed bill in Equity praying Ior an
injunction against the Maine Central Railroad Com
pany and the Directors against the carrying out of
the contract of consolidation of May - 1870 also
against building new line from Danyille junction
to the line of the Portland and kennebec Railroad
in Cumberland also against the change of gauge,
and for the appointment of Receivers. The bill is
brought by Nathan Cummings and others, of Port
land, Stockholders in the Maine Central Railroad
Company. This bill brings up all the questions in
volved in the railroad controversy; change of
gauge right to lease consolidate, the legality OF
the action of the Directors and the question of the
appointment of Receivers by the Court. hear
ing was desired at the earliest practicable moment.
Thereupon Mr.. Drummond stated that the Re-
spondents had heard this morning of the contenl-
plated proceedings, and were ready for a hearing
at once, and proposed that it should be heard to-
day. Mr.. Crosby replied that he could not be
ready so soon, and finally upon his notion the
