Railroad LitigattOn-OppOsttiO to n
 Generalization Sch sme.
 RICHMOND, Aug. 16.--Notice has been served that W. B. Harrison, holder of ten shares of stock in the stock in the Richmond and Allegheny Railroad company. and others will ask for an injunction enjeining that cor poration from consolidation with the Ohio Central and Atlantic and Northwestern rail- roads. This consolidation was formed at 8 meeting of the stockholders of the roads here on the Sd of June, but this petition al- leges that the votes of many stockholders were not properly represented and cast at this meeting, and that such an attempt at consolidation is in violation of the charter of the Allegheny road which does not give the company right to annex itself to any oth- CT such corporation except the Buchanan and Clifton to form Q continuation of that line. The petitioner further alleges that the con- solidation has resulted in watering the stock of the Richmond and Allegheny road to the great detriment of the small holders. The president of the consolidated line is W. H. Barnum of Connecticut, and the principal stockholders are in New York and Boston. The argument on the injunction will be heard before Judge George H. Christian, of the Hastings court here, Wednesday, August 24.
