CHICAGO AND EVANSTON.

The differences between the Chicago
and Evanston and the Chicago andI
Northwestern railways have at last beenl
amicably and satisfactorily settled, andI
the former road has acquired the right
! to connect with the tracks of the North
western road ON Canal and West Water
streets. The arrangement was perfected
I yesterday by a contract or agreementI
between the two roads. which effectuallyI
and permanently settles the vexed andI
long pending question. The Chicago
and Evanston road thus secures the right
to the use of tracks leading to the unionI
depot, which is intended to be the Chica-
20 terminus of the road. The North
western railroad, under a municipal
ordinance passed in 1858, laid tracks onI
West Water and Canal streets and lead i
& ing to the Union depot. These tracks,
were owned and used by the Northwest
/ ern, the Chicago, Milwaukee and ST.
paul, and the Pennsylvania railroads.
The Chicago and Evanston road claimed
the right to use these tracks under the
provisions of the ordinance as passed inl
1888, which authorized that company tol
lcross the river at Kinzie street to point
aof connection with the tracks on Canal
street laid in conformity with the erdin-|
ance of 1859. Some months ago the]
Northwestern company filed a bill against
1.-THE three other companies TO enjoin the
connection and any change of location
#of these Canal street tracks. The CASE
twas heard by Judge Tuley, who, after al
#full consideration of the matter, decided
&that the Evanston road had the right to1
make the desired connection. and order
Ned the case referred to master to hear
#proof as to the proper point of connec.
Htion and the amount of compensation to-
{ |be paid by the Evanston company for
1.-THE use of the tracks. In accordance
with this direction the contract between
1.-THE two companies was signed yesterday
#by the officers of the Northwestern COM
#pany, and was forwarded to Mr.. J. G.
NEaston, the president of the Evanston
& company, at La Crosse, Wis, for his
signature, and the dispute is amicably
&ended. The contract provides for the
Hpoint and manner of connection, and for
the perpetual use by the Evanston COM
pany of all the interests of the North
western road in the tracks on West
Water and Canal streets leading to the
union depot.
The connection win be made on the
north side of Kinzie street and at the
J. west end of the Evanston company's
bridge. The Evanston road has been
1 run by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St
81 Paul railroad under a temporary lease
to Lake View and Rogers Park from the
u Chicago avenue depot, in order to protect
the franchises Of the company under the
,Hprovisions Of the ordinances of the city
HThis arrangement, however, will only
d continue until the Evanston road is fully
i equipped and prepared to run its trains
I. when arrangements will have to be made
u flor the use of the union depot for {
q terminus and passenger station.
1t was expected that the work of max
o ling the connections would be commenc
t Led to-day, but the Evanston people ar,
Hnot yet prepared to go on with the worl
flor a few days, and the commissioner o
Hpublic works will have to be consulte'
d before anything is done. The commits
d Esioner could not be seen yesterday, bu
o lit is thought that within few days tn
ell work will be commenced and pushe
eN rapidly to completion.-C Chicago Time
