As result OF th. recent order issued
by the Pennsylvania Railroad CompA-
ny TO theB. Il o Company, wb ich mott
| tiedthe latter that on and after the 18th
In st. their passenger trains would mot
be carried over thep. w. & b., & Penn.
sylvania roads, the b. & o. have de-
clared war to the knife and lively
time isexpectsd n railroad circles.
In addition to the injunction recently
gran ted by the u. 8 District Court at
Baltimore, restrain ing the p, W. & B.
companies from refusing to .trausport
the cars of the b. & o. over their road,
the Baltimore and Ohio Company ap-
piled for an injunction on Saturday In
the United States Circuit Court Of
Philadelphia to restrain the Pennsyl.
vania and p, w. & B. Companies from
refusing 10 transport passengers, express
and baggage cars of the former company
over their lines. Judge MoKennan
granted the injunction, and made it re-
turnable on Friday next.
In addition to the injunction the b.
& o. road is determined to break the
trunk line passenger pool. President
Garrett has notified Commissioners Fink
Of the withdrawal of his road from that
pool, in consequence Of tho action Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
The Baltimore and Ohio express from
New York for the West ran az usual
yesterday. 1t was the time fixed upon
for the withdrawal of trains over the
Pennsylvania and Philadelphix, vii.
mington and Baltimore Railroads, but
the order of Court restraining the
Pennsylvania Railroad from interfer.
Ing was obeyed by the PennsylvaniA
Railroad officers. As counter on this
movement of the Baltimore and Ohio
officials IN securing An Injunction oblig-
ing the Pennsylvania Railroad to haul
their trains, the latter has withdrawn
from sale all through tickets via tho
Baltimore and Ohio route. This move
was decided upon by President Roberts
as soon a. he heard of the Injunction.
The tickets sold in tho Baltimore and
Ohio Office in this city are issued by
the Pennsylvania Railroad, as the
former Company has no roAAs leading
out Of Philadelphia.
A force of sixteenl clerks was dis
patched to the new Baltimore and Ohio
Office, ut Ninth and Chestnut streets, as
8 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and,
though Agent Rose protested against
delivering up the tickets, they were
finally surrendered.
This action created considerable ex-
element on the street and . large crowd
congregated in the vicinity Of the office.
This move makes itimpossible to buy
q ticket in Philadelphia for any point
on the baltimore and Ohio Road reach
ed via Baltimore. Notice WAS also sent
by General Passenger Agent Wood to
the Pennsylvania Railroad ticket agents
located in every part of tho country, in
structing them to withdraw from sale
all tickets to all points reached by tho
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad via Bal
timore. Passengers who desire to 90
West by the Baltimore and Ohio route
must now buy local tickets to Balti-
more and get their through tickets in
that city.
The situa alton is still more cornpiicat-
ed by these movements Of Saturday,
and some retaliatory measures are ex-
pected from the Baltimore and Ohio;
but what the next move will be no one
can say.
RUNNING AS SPECIALS.
While argument in the injunction
case is pending, all B. & o. trains will
be run over the road rs usual, only that
they will be run as specials.
The 6.46 p. m. north bound b. & o.
train passed through this city last night
rs usual, except that it carried white
flag and was run as special. The B.
& o. train leaving PhiladelphiA at 10
o'clock arrived here nearly an hour
late, and was preceded by q new train
on ths F., w. & B. road, leaving Phila.
delphia at IL O'Clock.
Passengers who take the B. g. o. cars
will be run through Baltimore without
transfer while the injunction is on, as
it compels the p, W. &c B. road to take
the cars delivered to them by the B.
& O.. which owns half of the ferry by
which they are transferred in Balti-
