ANOTHER RAILROAD WAR The PetersJur1
and Weldon Railroad IN C0urt.-A bill has been
filed within a day or two past in the circuit
court OF Richmond against the Petersburg and
Weldon Road, Reuben Ragland and others,
praying for an injunction and the appointment
OF receiver for said road. The bill claims that
Ragland and others combined together for the
purpose of getting into their possession or under
their control a majority of the stock of the
Petersburg and Weldon road; that after having
done so, they, in hot haste against the protest OF
many stockholders, voted TO themselves some
S2i9,35O on claim of back di yidends due
to the stock purchased by them, and in
stalled Raglandl as president of the road,
with salary of 1000 per annum. The
bill also charges that Ragland and his as
sociates have, since their purchase of a majority
of the stock of the road, or a controlling
interest therein, managed the affairs OF the road
IN such total disregard of the other stockhold-
ers, and especially in the recent consolidation
ofsaid road with the Richmond and Petersburg
road, that they ought not to be allowed to have
the control of the road any longer; and the bill
therefore prays that receiver be appointed to
take charge OF the road and manage the same
The bill also prays that Ragland be enjoined
from the further prosecution of certain matters
charged against him, and especially that he and
ms associates be required to refund the said sum
OF S25s, $50 to the company. The board Of pub
lie works have also been made a party and II
is sought to restrain the state from transferring
any interest now held by it in the stock bought
by Ragland and his associates, The iu,ige has
dxed Friday the sth OF August for the hearing
of the application for investigation and the an,
ntment Of receiyer-Riehmond Dispatch,
