THE RAILROAD WAR.
Vanderbilt triumphant.

NEW YORK, Jan. Judge Asborn of Troy, yes
terday, granted an injunction against VIM. L. Burt
of Boston, prohibiting him from using road-bed be-
longing to the Troy and Bosen railroad for his new
Schenectady and Boston railroad. This road-bed had
been utilized by Burt, who had spent some $4,000
thereupon in steel rails and the building of two
bridges.
1t appears that in September, last hear, railroad
was begun in Saratoga county, intended 10 run from
Schenectady to Hoosac Tunnel and gave Erie an out
let east of Hudson river. into Boston and New Eng
and, also as trial opposition line to the Troy and
B oston road. VIM. L. Burt Of Boston, was at the
project representing several prominent Eastern cap
italists in conjunction with the Erie The Delaware
and Hudson Canal companies also abetted the
| scheme which would provide channel from their
coal mines to the east. The instigatoTs OF the new
route pushed operations vigorously and constructed
46 miles of railroad besides building costly and
beautiful bridge over the Hudson at Mechancsville,
where connection is made with the RENSSELAER, and
Saratoga track. About $l,5OO,sOO has been expend-
| ed on work DONE The road-bed which Burt was
ordered yesterday by injunction to vacate, formerly
belonged to the Albany and Northern company, and
was purchased by the Troy and Boston railroad for
| 5000 900. Yesterday trains were started over the
route in litigation. The road extends through Sara
toga Rensselaer, and Washington counties and it is
| intended to continue it to Hoosac Tunnel. The
parties have surveyed route from Schenectady
west to Lake Ontario intending to construct line
in opposition to the New York Central from Buffalo,
besides giving Erie outlet by way Of Albany and
Susquehanna from Binghampton and Schenectady,
thence over the tracks named until the Fitchburg
reached. On this account the Vanderbits have
made an emphatic opposition to the Bos tonians
claim that they can run strong competitb with a
road built in these lines, and with no heav Dating
debt to absorb its earnings.
In giving his decision, Judge O.born sa road
had been surreptitiously appropriated by Burt.
There is considerable excitement in Troy at the de-
clson, as the people there favor Burt's road.

THE NORWICH MURDER.



NORWICH, CT, Jan. 1.-The trial of Mrs. Kate M.
Cobb, for poisoning her husband. was resumed this
morning. Prof. Chas. A. Doremus was placed on
the stand. His examination lasted all day. and at
the adjournment was not completed, being very
careful and searching. He explained in detail the
nature and characteristics of poisons showing par
ticuarly the difference between vegetable and min
eral poisons. He explained the process by which ami
NAL tissues were given him. He tested for both
these poisons and illustrated his meaning by an
analysis before the jury of compound into which he
put arsenic. He further testified that he had analyz
ed certain powders sent him which Mr.. Cobb had
been taking before his death, and found them to be
bismuth and quite harmless. In all had examined
Is or 20 pounds of Mr.. Cobb's body. In it he had
found about quarter of grain of white arsenic.
He should judge that there three times as much
arsenic remaining in the whole body as this, viz,
three-quarters of a grain, making grain in all.
Arsenic, if administered long before DEATH will be
fond "a every part of the system. He had found it
every part Of Cobbs body which he had Examined,
and was positively convinced that there was poison
in every part of his system. His opinion was that
arsenic was present in quantities to indicate fatal
dose. One or two grains nerally considered
fatal doses. The poison might have been admins
tered weeks before DEATH 1t certainly was some
time previous to it. Adjourned to Thursday morn
