TIE DISSOLUTION.
As vet the counsel for the railroad com

APPEAL.
If the company fail 10 secure dissolu-
tion Of the Injunction they have the right
Of appeal: but mean time their work would
have 20 be peudod-that * TO say, II
the complainant would be- willing t. give
the bond which Judge Wexford might fix.
THE BOND.
On the day when DR.. Patterson was
granted an injunction the counsel Tor the
railroad company suggested that the bond
ought 20 be $1,000, 600, but JUDGE Wexford
would not hear If anything of the sort,
but did for q time think OF putting II AT
$25.010, which sum counsel for Dr. Patler-
son declared was unusual and excessive,
and thov expressed some doubt whether
the Doctor would give II. That he c'7Gd
give il without the slightest doubt no one
questioned. but whether he tootd give II
seemed a matter of doubt.
This whole matter was left undetermined
until the deposit of the land-damage
money, when it may or may not be raised
again, and mean while the penalty of DR..
Patterson's bond Is only $500.
TIKI WAY OUT.
Various expedients are suggested by
which, IN the event of "a failure TO dissolve
the injunction. the Belt Line could be con-
structed and il Is said that a way out of
the difficulty will certainly be found.
BLANroN's INJUNCTION.
Workmen were busy cutting, digging,
and hauling at the big cut on Blanton's
farm yesterday evening; hut there Will be
silence there tomorrow. Messrs. Pollard IL
Sands having obtained the injunction
PRAYED for. So there are now three in
functions attersOns, Beatues, and Blan-
fOn's-the last being the most serious of
all so far as interruption OF work Is con-
cerned.
Mr.. Blanton in his petition alleges that
the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac Railroad Company has unlawfully
entered upon his tract and cut IL IN two;
that he has been using 1t as a dairy farm,
and the deco cut made renders II almost
useless for hispurpOses and shuts him from
the place whore he has hitherto vatered
las cattle.
THE SOUTH SIDE
The Richmond and Petersburg Railroad
Company. who are constructing the Belt
Line OF the south side OF the river. have
had no trouble OF this sort. Except in one
instance They purchased the right OF way
through the lands they wished TO occupy.
IL seems, too, that this company have
some powers and privileges not possessed
by the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac, and il is claimed that they have the
right 10 build "such en- extension as the
Belt Line IRON their main track in Ches-
terfeld across the river and onward to the
track OF the Richmond, Fredericksburg
