manded for Trial.

road commission has received notice
from the United States district court at
Dubuque that the case of the commits
sioners against the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st, Paul railroad had been remanded
to the state courts for trial The case
was begun in the state courts, but was
taken up on motion OF the defendants,

Will It Be Bottled Upi

We clip the following from the
Constitution of 29th:
Will the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad be bottled up this
side of Knoxville?
It is rumured in railroad circles
shat matters between that road and
the East Tennessee are not SatiSfact-
ory, and unless something is done
the road will not be permitted to
cross the Tennessee river.
At present the road goes into
Knoxville over the Marysville branch
of the East Tennessee. If the con-
sent of the East Tennessee is with
dra ~n, there will he nothing left for
the Marietta and North Georgia rail-
road 10 do but to build its own'bridge
across the Tennessee or stay out Of
Knoxville.
The road being in the hands of a
receiver in no way conld the neces-
sary bridge and track be built except
by issuing receivers ce: ficstes.
A call was made yester BY on Judge
Henry b. Tompkius, b ascertain
the truth Of the rumor, but it was
found that he was out of the city,
having gone to Knoxville.
Judge Tompkins represents the
bondholders, and it is presumed that
he is now in Knoxville for the Pur-
pose Of seeing if existing differences
cannot be adjusted.
