| The Baltimore & Ohio's lightning express,
direct from New York, arrived yesterday
| morning but 4 few moments late, showing
that the obstacles thrown in the way OF the
road in passing through Philadelphia have
| practically been overcome. AS that portion
| Of the track upon which SO much delay has
been occasioned by alLsorts of expedients is
included within the decision making 1t q
joint track, 1t Is probable that the inti1nadons
| Of the Court were such as to lead to q cessa-
| ton of the hindrances and thus escape case
of contempt There appears to still exist
considerable misunderstanding as to the sale
| OF Baltimore Il Ohio tickets on the line OF
| the Western routes out of this city. The cir
culars and special and other dispatches which
| have been sent here aud published during
the week have been such as would naturally
| lead to a confusion in the minds of the tray-
cling PUBLIC. just what right rival lines had
| to order off Of sale the Baltimore g. Ohio
| tickets on Western lines is not quite evident
and mot generally understood in this city or
| throughout the West. Under the old order
of things, when the passenger via the Baiti-
| roads forming connection with the Baltimore
| Il Ohio issued their Baltimore & Ohio tickets
with coupon attached, which was taken up
With wss olred of Of ~5s ssle 1S oS
rather circulars were sent out stat
ing that they would not be honored
| for passage over the Pennsylvania Road.
This, however, could not stop the sale Of
Baltimore G Ohio tickets, as the Western
lines. being entirely neutral and naturally de-
string to control all the business they could
from the four trunk lines, would not favor
any one n road at the expense Of another This
