last session OF the Legislature. In the course
OF two hours the cash subscriptions

About three O'Clock this afternoon the Pittsburg
and Connellsville Railroad Company sent force OF
men to restore the track on the Bradford branch,
which was destroyed some weeks since, as charged,
by parties acting under the direction OF the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. The laberers were
met by force OF the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, 200 strong, who prevented the accomplish
Inent OF the work by demonstrations OF vio-
lence. They also burned two small bridges
on the part OF the road next to the main
line OF the Connellsville road, thus enectually
defeating the object OF the expedition. The Con-
nellsville force quietly withdrew according TO
orders The interruption to travel has been the
cause Of serious complaints from persons dong
business on the branch road.
The Connesville Company have filed q bill in
equity 10 prevent further interference with their
alleged rights. Argument will be heard In the
