St. Louis County, No., VS.. Railroads.
ST. LOUIS, August I6.-The County
Court to-day recOnsidered its action Of
yesterday, and instructed its counsel
to eniOin the sale of the North Mis-
souri, railroad, as it would take a week
to prepare papers and legally notify
the railroad company that an inJunc.
ton would be applied for; and as the
present court retires from Office next
Monday, and the newly appointed
court comes in on that day, It will be
readily seen that to days action stands
for nothing. 1t Is stated, however,
that four members of the new court
are in favor OF enjoining the sale OF
the road. II this proves true, the
action of the present court may be
affirmed and legal proceedings COM
menced. 1t is now pretty well under
stood that the city will take no action
IN the matter, and that the sale of the
road will take place on the 26th inst,
as per advertisement, unless the new
court concludes to carry on the pro-
ceediDgs.
