IL is said that the opinion has been exc
pressed by prominent official OF the AT.
Isn,ic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad that
Mir. Jobu Collinson, the agent OF the British
bondholdtrs, will certainly be the pur-
Chaser OF the road when II Is sold under the
order OF The United States Court. II appears
TO be the prevalent belief here That the sale
will take place rs advertised, aud good
many people are in favor OF that measure,
because IL VIII finally dispose OF question
long vexed and put the road on solid and
pcrmsneI; basis.
Mr.. William Mlnnigerode, son OF the
Rev. DR.. G.. Mnnigerode, Of Richmond,
has been appointed cashier OF a large iron
business conducted by his brother at New
Orleans, and will leave tomorrow to take
charge Of it, duties. Mr.. l.. w. Scoville
left Saturday for Atlanta, Ca, 10 take charge
OF the Kimball House.
An Injunction against the Street-Car Com
pany was got out Saturday evening on the
ground that IL encroacbed on the property
OF the Messrs. Ford on Twelfth street. The
question involved was one which has long
exercised the Council and legal authorities
OF the city. IL seems that over large part
Of the town, as the last survey OF the city
engineer discloses, there have been en-
croacbmeDts on the street on one side,
while property. holders on the other have
not occupied all the land TO which they are
entitled. The Councils idea is to slip the
whole survey, so TO speak, and confirm the
boundaries rs now existing, 30 which those
who have not all they can claim do not al
ways accede to. Meanwhile, the other peo-
pic who have eucroached are entrenchcd
behind the principle OF prescription, and
so the thing hangs. The injunction, how
ever, was somehow disposed Of, and the
work goes on. The new cars are expected
10 be shipped from Philadelphia on the 18th.
The city clergyman who was mistaken for
Colonel FulkerSon at Salem denies that he
resented the confusion OF persons with any
indignation, and says the explanations were
made privately and quietly, and that every
thing passed off most pleasantly with his
entertainers. TELEPHONE.
