WELLsBURG, October l3-Hon. j. j.
jackson, of the United States Court, has
granted an Injunction in the case oi
George Marcus Chapman against the
Pittsburgh and Steubenville railroad, and
on last Saturday papers were served on
David Brown, Sheriff Of Brooke county,
restraining him from selling SO much Of
said road as lies in Brooke county. This
is sn important case that has been pend
ing in our State courts for several years,
and was decided recently by the Supreme
Court Of Appeals of this State and the
cause sent back for further proceedings
in the Circuit Cour Of Brooke county
those further proceedings consisted partly
in decree directing the sheriff to sell so
much of said road ss lies along Harrison
creek, from the Ohio river to the State
line, except q small portion which is in
Hancock county, for the purpose Of satisfy
ing O Judgment that amounts TO between
three hundred and four hundred thousand
dollars, the road has been oper-
ated by the Pittsburg, Cincinnati
snd ST. Louis Railroad Company.
The sale was to have occurred on next
Saturday, but Is nov postponed until after
The United States gets through with the
matter. During the summer the p. c. &
St l. railroad company have been making
extensive repairs TO their rosd in the vicin.
ity Of Holidays Cove, in Hancock county.
They have sxpei d.d in the neighbofbood
Of one hundred thousand dollars in pur-
chasing land, changing the line Of The
read aud changing the course Of llarman's
Greek, thereby dispensing with three bridges
and Strengthening the track. This is q big
enterprise and great improvement and

with these sxpentive changes and that
more time is needed This is Of course
only speculation.
