MAYo-BRIOGE TRACK ENJolNeD.
Mr. Gay Claims That /; is Being Laid
without His Permission.

Judge Witt. sitting in the Chancery Court
yesterday. granted an injunction. at the in
stance OF Ware Il Gay. owner of Mayo's
bridge. restraining George J.. Fisher, the
Manchester Railway and Improvement
Company. and the Richmoni Railway and
Electric Company from continuing to lay
a track across that structure.
The bill alleges that Ware Il. Gay purchased
the MayO-bridge property ana adjacent Islands
from commissioners Of tho Chancery Court in
the suit Of Richards against Mayo. Thereafter
negotiations were had between him and George
T.. Fisher manager Of the street railways OF
Richmond, with a view Of laying the track Of tho
Manchester Railway ana improvement Com
pany across the said bridge In order that that
street-car line might 20 into Manchester.
BRIDGE COMPANY FORMED.
As an induccmcnt for the said Gay 10 afford
this means OF transit across the river il was pro-
posed that a corporation should be organized, TO
be called the Mayo-Bridge Company, In order
that II might acquire the bridge property and
islands from the said Gay, and then make con-
tract with the said railway company for tho right
Of way across the bridge, the said Fisher under
taking 20 negotiate the bonds q the Mayo-Bridge
Company for the purpose OF paying tho purchase
money 10 the commissioners OF the court for the
said bridge property and islands. and the rail-
way company undertook 10 pay S2,4OO per an
mum for the use OF the bridge. The necessary
papers were drawn 10 enable Mr. Fisher 70 capl-
talize the property, ana these papers were de-
liyered 10 him for the purpose of selling the
bonds, with the understanding that If he did not
succeed In effecting tho salo OF the bonds the
papers were 10 be returned to Gay, ard they
we're not to be enectual unless that object should
be accomplished by Fisher
BONDS NOT ISSUED.
After getting possession Of tho papers Fisher
and one or more OF the railroads with which he
Is connected undertook to lay their track across
the bridge without oven issuing the bonds or sell
ing them. IL was charged by tho plaintif that
the use Of the said papers for that purpose under
the circumstances was unwarranted, and an In
junction was granted restraining Fisher and the
railroad companies from laying their track across
the bridge.
Tho injunction also rcstrains Fisher from put
ting on record tho deed OF Gay TO the Mayo
Bridge Company and the contract Of lease OF the
Mayo bridge TO the Manchester Railway and I'M
pruvcmeLt Company.
Late yesterday evening the track-laying on the
bridge was still in progress.
