property in Pennsylvania. Warren F. Wal
worth, of Cleveland, Ohio, is seeking to col
lect a judgment for S261, S71. &C out of the
property of the insolvent road. Mr.. Joseph
NJ STREET., of Bel Air, a stakeholder of the
road, last month began an equity suit against
Mr.. Waworth, the railroad company and
Marshal Alexander p. Colesberry to restrain
proceedings in the matter and to have the
judgment declared void.
The judgment is attacked for Mr.. STREET.
upon the ground that it Is invalid by reason I
collision between Mr.. Miller, Mr. Walworth,
Moses II. Houseman, William Gilmor and
Winfield J. Taylor. tits complained that the
lien stands in the name of Mr.. Walworth to
deceive, but in reality for the benefit of Mr..
Miller.
A number of legal points were raised by
counsel. The question of the right to inter
vene in the suit is pending in Maryland. The
main point on which the Court is asked to
stop the sale is the alleged invalidity of the

Pennsylvania end of the railroad.
The Judge on Tuesday entered an order
directing the sale to proceed.
