Disease and Problem.
Special Correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
MIDDLETowN, Jan 27.-Alshough the
CHILEAN affair has heen the main topic Of
great interest in this section, as we'll as
in all other parts Of the country, that
Odessa aud Middletown railway is sriIl
being mach talked Of. The move
ments Of the railroad men have
been keenlY watched by our wideawAke
citizens for several days and they truly
seem &c be keeping still at present. The
restraining order case was TO have been
heard at Dover on Friday, the % inst.
But the railroad men pleaded for an ex.
tension of time to the 9th which was
quickly granted by The charceller
aud now it is doubtful If the
case will come off to-day as
the railroad men have again asked that
the hearing be extended until the Both
instant, and II is likely that the chancel-
Tor win grant their request, ss they have
good reasons why the time should be ex.
tended Meanwhile the road commits
sioners are lying quiet waiting TO see
what the railroad men are about before
they will make another move. Sewell
Hoiten expects bis attorney, Willard
Salisbury, here to day.
