miles of it over Laurel Hill of the Blue

were almost exhausted by the terrible
exertions of the trip when the summit
of the mountains was reached. but, as
the camping place was six miles ahead
il was necessary to force the marching 10

The start from Uniontown was late. as
the commissary wagons were about all
morning gathering up breadstuffs and
meat for the march. It is stated that
five days rations are being carried along
by wagons. But few people saw the
army leave Uniontown. The only town
passed through was Hopewood. on the
side of the mountains. All the people
Of the town watched the army move
on.
While hating for dinner, the men
made a very hostile demonstration against
reporters who passed by. greeting them
with groans and threats of various kinds.

lunch and short addresses at Somerfield.

AGAINST II" ROAD.
Property Owner Maitland Wants
all Injunction.
Says the Third Track Will Damage
His Property.
First ,til.u TO Oppose the scheme
in the Courts.

Judge BIs,nOf, OF the Court Of Com
mon Pleas, to-day heard arguments
upon the motion OF Charles q. Bennett
counsel for Thomas A. Maitland. for an
injunction restraining tho Manhattan
Elevated Railroad Company from build
ing third track upon its Smith avenue
branch.
Similar motions have before been
made IN behalf OF the city, but this Il.
the frst motion made in the courts In
this direction by an abutting property
owner.
ipon the INST motion Of the counsel
for the city an injunction was issued
The Injunction was subsequently, modi-
fled allowing the road 10 build the third
track. ~ It was shown that the Com
psny had the consent Of the new Rapid
Transit Commission.
Mr. Maitland. the plaintiff In this ac-
ton, owns a large amount OF real estate
upon Ninth avenue. between Twenty
fourth and Thirtieth streets, and is the
lessee Of large number OF other house
in that ueighborhood.
The plaintiff brought number Of
suits against the Manhattan Compa ny
for damages TO his property. lie secured
Judgments in the lower courts, which
were afterwards confirmed by the Court
OF Appeals.
lie alleges that his judgments were
based upon the supposition that the
Elevated road was to continue TO oper-
| ate the road az at present.
| His counsel contendel that the running
| of express trains on the third track will
tend 10 further darken the houses he
| owns and leases, and also to exclude
| the air from them. and by reason OF the
dust and smoke render the houses un
, wholesome.
| Counsel for the Elevated Company op
posed the motion on the ground that the
| Supreme Court had already given III
consent TO the third track. and that Mr.
| Maitland's property would be injured II
| no way by the additional track.
