Mr.. Eaton stated that he had n mass Of figures
IN regard 20 the water power of the Potomac and
Rock Creek with historical facts, showing that
and ether thriving manufacturing towns at the
north as TO the power. In regard to con-
Nehience of unloading raw material and ship
ping the manufactured articles, Georgetown il

mate too was not so cold that the river was
the Tivtr closed as much some month. Senator
SPIague has examined the water front of George
town with a view OF purchasing portion OF it.
Mr. Campbell thought that the water power
was of more consequence than the canal.
Mr.. Eaton said that there WAS but little doubt
but that with the completion of a railroad line
IN western Maryland, connecting with "A Penn
sylvania road extending to the anthracite re-
gon, that Geor getown would become one OF the
greatest coal markets in the country. and a
great shipping port. The aqueduct was how
ever, III the way, and only small vessels could
get above 10.
Mr.. Campbell did not think that the Shipping
of coal from Ge0TgetOwn did a great deal OF good
here, as the coal was purchased in Cumberland,
and the money was paid there He suggested
that manufactures were to be looked after
manufactures TO use the coal. There was a
large population here who could be made avil-
abe. IN fact. the labor market was overstockef
Mi Eaton suggested that it was skilled labor
that would be wanted
Mr.. Campbell replied that there was plenty of
skilled labor in the departments, men who are
working for SLIGO per annum, and who would
be doing benefit 20 the country and themselves
by going into manufactures.

SUPREME CouaT-eEAERAL TERM.

The Lee Avenue Railroad Trouble.
Before Judges Barnard, Gilbert and Tappen
Upon the application OF property owners on Lee
avenue short time since an injunction was is-
sued restraining the Williamsburg and Flatbush
Railroad Company from laying their rails in that
thoroughfare. The point raised was that the COM
pany had not obtained the consent Of majority Of
the property owners, viii ch was requisite before
they could proceed with the work. 1900, a.
The company, on the other hand, COMMENDED that
they were organized under the General Railroad
act, and thereby acquired all the rights OF corpora
lions organized under such act. They also held
that 1t was optional with them to act under this
Council which Is alone required, this being road
not terminating In the city; or under the act Of
1866, and obtain the consent OF o majority OF the
property owners. They chose the former way Of
going to work and obtained the consent OF the
Common Council.
Yesterday morning the case was before the Gen.
eral Term on appeal, when counsel for the company
presented the points given above. Oh
Counsel for the plaintiffs argued that the CON-
pany, in assuming to act under the general act,
had res0rted to subterfuge to avoid the necessity
OF obtaining the consent OF majority OF the pro-
perty owners which they found 1t was impossible to
do. He cOntended further that they did not file q
map in the County Clerks Office before commence
ing the road as the general act required, but that
on the Goth OF August they filed map in the Regis
ter's Office, as the act Of 1866 required. The defend
ants had had the act OF 1866 passed for their relief
and had acted under 1t, inasmuch as they had laid
rail of less weight than that the general act re-
by the enactment Of 1865 and comply with It's pro-
visions.
After hearing the argument the Court took the
papers and reserved decision.
