RAIL AND CROS5TIE.

Montgomery has railroad track squsb-
bic going on. The fight is between the
Montgomery and Eufaula and the Savan-
nah, Americas and Montgomery roads.
For the week past the latter road. the
Advertiser says. has been building trestie
preparatory to receiving the track between
the MONTGOMERY and Eufaulah "Yn track
and main line, near North Perry street. In
order for the Savannah Americas and
Montgomery to extend its track either way
1t must cross the Montgomery and Euiaula
track. This the latter road will try to pre-
vent, unless the Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery road will COM
pensate for the damage which
The Montgomery and Eufaula road
claims. Fearful lest the Savannah, Ameri-
Gus and Montgomery should build across
the Montgomery and Eufaula's track last
night, the Montgomery and Eufaula sued
out preliminary injunction against the
Savannah, Americas and Montgomery road
and W. W. Campbell, chief engineer, to re-
strain them from proceeding to build the
Savannah ,Americus and Montgomery track
across the Montgomery and Eufaula track.
The injunction was filed in the chancery
court, Judge T. NJ. Arlington granting 1t,
art after the required bond had been given.
Inc bill sets ont by describing the
montgomery and Eufeula's property and
tracks, near North Perry street, showing
That Its main line and side tracks constituted
us yard for switching of locomotive engine
ana trains of cars, for unloading and deIiv-
erlng bulk freights, that these tracks are
necessary for the successful operation of
tnelr line In the city. 1t further shows that
Une Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
ana w. w. Campbell are undertaking to
Dulld the Savannah, Americas and Mont~
Ronery track across the main line aud side
tracks OF the Montgomery and Eufaula
Nishout the consent of the latter road or
W,cnout paying or Offering to pay compen-
sation therefor; and has already built a tres
sie on part OF the Montgomery and Eu-
Iaula's right of way. 1t alleges further that
sne savannah. Americus and Montgom-
cry road hos never obtained any
Ilgnts or authority from any
cur py condemnation proceedings to build
9al9 track across the Montgomery and
Muiaula tracks. In another allegation the
Montgomery and Eufaula claims that the
pudding OF the Savannah, Americus and
montgomery track across its main line and

usefulness to the general public; that the
montgomery and Eufaula needs its main

ing trains and for unloading and delivering
Dulk freights, and should the Savannah,
Americus and Montgomery cross them 1t
would thereby probably cause collisions of
Trains and greatly imperil human life and
cause great obstruction of property, and
