In the case of the People W.. the llli-
nois Central Railroad Company, judge
David J. Baker, Of the Alexander coun-
~ circuit court, Monday made an i'm
portant decree.
This case was bill in chancery charg-
ing that the tracks, switches. and turn
outs and yellow warehouse and elevators.
| and the property of the Illinois Central
railroad company, on I.evee street, in
this city, were public nusances. and
praying for Injunction. The ease has
been pending since 1873, and q number
of interlocutory orders have heretofore
been made. Monday Judge Baker an-
nounced his final decree in the case. Hi.
holdings were, in substance, that the Hi
nois Central railroad company is, under
its contract with the Trustee of the cairo
city Property, entitled to two tracks on
Lcvee street and no more; that all other
| tracks, except what is known as the mill
! switch, are public nuiSances, and must
he removed; that the two tracks can be
used only for the passage of trains to and
from the grounds Of the company, and
not for making up trains. switching and
standing cars thereon. The court mrth-
er held, that the two tracks as now con
| strIcccd, from Fourth Ia Fourteenth
street, and from Eighteenth to Twenty
Eighths street. are public nuisanceS and
must be planked and improved as requir-
ed by the ordinances of the city Chapter
| as follows:
| SECTION 8. II shall be the duty of all
| railroads that have constructed. or shalI
hereafter construct, any track or tracks
upon any of the streets, avenues, alleys
| or highways of the city, to plank be-
| tween the rails OF such track. upon the
! 1ross-ties. with good. clear. white oak
| plank, of not less than three inches in
| thickness nor more than six inches in
width to be- well spiked to the cross
ties with spikes of not less than six
inches in length. Said plank shall be
laid from the center between the rails to
| within two inches of each rail. measur-
| ing from the top Of the plank to the top
| of the rail. The space between said
| plank and the rail shall be packed with
| fine gravel to within one inch of the top
of the rail at least two planks of the
aforesaid description to be laid upon the
outside of each rail-the first to be laid
flush with the rail; said plank to be
spiked rs aforesaid; and when there are
two or more tracks laid or to be laid upon
any of the streets, avenues, alleys or
highways. the space between such track
shall be planked with like material and
in like manner as aforesaid by such rail-
| road.
The court held the elevator and yellow
warehouse to be public nuisance. and
ordered them to be removed.
We cannot tell what will be the effect
of this decree. Ii enforced, the Illinois
Central railroad company will be put to
$4,000 or 100000 expense. The ware
house and elevator will be torn down,
and all the tracks and switches and a
part of the transfer inclined plane be re-
moved.

The case Of William Scott, cOlored.
against the Cairo and Nincennes railroad

yesterday. Scott made out his case very
clearly in the evidence, but was showed
out OF court without difficulty. The de-
PENDANT did not offer any evidence but.
after Scott had been heard, moved, by
5. p. Wheeler, Esq, to discharge the de-
PENDANTS for the reasons following:
lst. The said complaint is uncertain.
I'd. The said complaint fails to show
how these defendants aided or abetted
Thomas Swinder in the commission of
the alleged ofiense.
3D.. The complaint fails to allege and
show that Scott and his wife were dis
eliminated against tor reasons not appli-

18th. The said complaint fails to charge
the commission OF any crime, or the vio-
lnlon OF any act OF congress recognized

9th. Because the said supposed act OF
congress alleged to have been violated in

Commissioner Candee sustained the
