INJUNCTION REFUSED

Avenue Fight.

Chancellor McGill refused yesterday
Afternoon to grant au injunction to re-
strain the city from preventing the New
Jersey junction railway company from
laying another track across Hoboken
avenue. The matter was laid ovsr TO-
further argument next Friday. The aa-
~plication was made By Jane, p. Vredsn-

New York Central ana Hudson River

Railway Company bought It's rights OF che
Hoboken Land aud Improvement Conn
pany which for years operated q little
road down from Wsehawken along the
foot Of the Bergen Hill as a branch of the

not possessed by companies under the
general railroad act by the terms OF which
streets in popuious cities may be. crossed
at grade only with the consent OF the city
board which has charge OF ths

franchises. Under this grant the juno
ton Railway Company has built twu
Hoboksn venue near the junction with
Monmouth street at grade. A fourth
track was laid from Weehawken south,
a short time ago. When this track
reached the Ravine road and Hoboken
avenue Street Commissioner Tumulty
stopped the work and stationed a police
man there. Last Friday Counsellor Vre-
dsnburgh moved for the injunction
as related in The JERSEY CITY
NEWS of that date. The
hearing was postponed until Yesterday
on account of the absence on Friday last
of Corporation Counsel Edwards. Messrs.
VredenburZh aud Garretson c.simed the
right to lay the track under the Wee

Corporation Counsel Edwards objected
first of all to any more crossings al
