RAILWAY NOTES.
Grand Trunk and Canada an Atlantic.

A Montreal dispatch states that an injunc-
tion was granted in the Superior Court there
Saturday against the Grand Trunk offering for
sale $3,000,00O of the first mortgage bonds ON
the Canada-Atlantic Railway, the new branch
line from that city to Ottawa, which it lately
got control of. The bonds in question were to
have been fioated upon London and New York
markets, and are at present in the hands Of
the Bank of British North America, the Cana
dian Bank of Commerce and the Bank of OF
tawa for advances made TO the company. The
plaintiffs to the present suit are Daniel N.
Stanton, contractor, of New York, and Adna
Perkins Balch OF Hanover, N. j., who are re-
presented in the suit. The declaration Of the
plaintiffs alleges that plaintiffs entered into an
agreement with the Coteau and Providence
Line Railway and Bridge Company and the
City of Ottawa Junction Railway Company,
by which an act of amalgamation was obtained
from the Dominion government, all expenses
Of which were to be betrayed by plaintiffs;
that this amalgamation cost $4,000, and in
consideration therefor, they were to have the
contract for building the road under the ANAL
gamated charter now existing as the Canada
Atlantic Railway, and as security for this work
bonds of the road and bridge company were to
be deposited in the hands of two trustees, to
be named by them. This agreement was not
only ratified by the two original companies, but
also by the Central Vermont Railroad Com
pany, which latter was supposed to be heavily
interested in the undertaking, and which had
entered into an agreement for receiving the
line on its completion. At a subsequent date
the Central Vermont acting through its Presi-
dent, j. Gregory Smith, aud the Canada At
lantic, refused to carry out the several agree
ments with plaintiffs, and in consequence they
were prevented from proceeding with the
sequently aver that they had not only lost the
| amount expended in obtaining the act of con-
| solidation, but large sum involved in max
| ing preparations for building the road, as well
as prospective profits arising from the con-
struction of the entire length of the road from
Ottawa to a point the Providence line in
the State of New York, all of which is estim-
ated at over $350,000. The action will be
/ heard on the 18th inst

BOSTON, Oct. 2.--The Republican State and
City Committees will issue joint address to
the people of Massachusetts in relation to the
disregard by Mayor Palmer of the intention of
the law as affecting the appointment of cleo

leaving many of the wards wholly in the con-
troll of the Butler party on election day. They
appeal therefore to all good citizens against
the fraud thus planned, and ask that they re-
cord their protest against the attempt now first
heard of in Massachusetts to cheat the people
