Record OF business Transacted Yester-
day.

Inc motion lot lnJuncslOn IN the case OF Inc
Chicago 4, Northwestern Railroad Company
against the Chicago l. Pacific Railroad Company
came up yesterday before Judge Drummond.
About . month ago motion was fled to prevent
the defendant from crossing the complainaut's
track at grade near Egin. The defendant OBJ
jected that the Court had no jurisdiction; also,
that tho complainant Lad commenced proceed
ings in the State courts to condemn the land
under the Eminent Domain law. It also claimed
that it had not caused any damages as alleged.
The complainants, on tho other hand, insisted
that Chancery Court had Jurisdiction in the
present instance, both OF subject-aatter and par-
ties; that the Eminent Domain LAW only provided
a method OF determining the compensation, but
did not provide for the method and manner Of
crossing. The common laW did NOT provide any
method. and the only way was to proceed under
Sec. ISL OF the General Railroad law. whiuh
gives new roads the right to cross the tracks OF
old roads, but provides that il dispute arose
IS to compensation, or point and manner OF
crossing, the question should be settled as pro-
lid cd BY law.
Judge Drummond held that the United States
Circuit Court had jurisdiction OF the parties. and
the chancery side sole jurisdiction to settle tho
disputes as to point Ill manner OF crossing ac-
decided to appoint Commissioners to determine
the facts Of the present case, and he would de-
eide accordingly.
THE SOUTH PARK COMMISSIONERS IN TROUBLE.
About two years ago J. E. Clarke filed bill in
the United States Circuit Court against the
South Park Commissioners to restrain them
from taking l. twenty-acro tract OF land be-
longing to him. which they had taken for
public purposes. Dat neglected to pay him any
order was made in ehe case directing the Com
missioners to institute aud prosecute to judg-
ment the necessary suits for tho condemnation
OF the land. Nearly year has PASSED since. but
the Commissioners have failed to do anything
except collect the rents from the comp1ainant's
tenant on the land, With a regularity which was
as uniailing as it waa refreshing under the cir
cums;ances. firing Of this Mr. Clarke took 3
hand, and yesterday procured an order on the
delinquent defendants to show cause By Nov.
q why they should not be attached for con-
tempt.
BILL TO DISSOLVE PARTNERSHIP.
Mark 7. Seymour tiled a bill in the Circuit
Court yesterday against Elijah s. Alexander
and Joseph 0. hutter. asking for dissolution
himself aud the defendants. He states that for
the past two yearp and moro the firm has been
engaged in an extensive business, especially in
building railroads. About year ago they re-
Phillips L Colby Construction Company, which
was appealed. and will probably be soon decided
by the United States Supreme Court.
The complainant has asked the defendant
Alexander to get an account OF the business of
the firm, but Alexander has refused to have Al
accountant 20 through the books, though he
accords to the complainant the personal per-
mission to SEQ them. Seymour also fears that
the defendants are plotting to deprive him OF
his share In the business, and more particularly
vent this he asks for an account, the appoint
nent Of Receiver, aud dissolution Of partner
ship.
