PASADENA, Jan. 9.-The announcement Of the
restraining writ issued out of the superior
court to prevent the council from proceeding
to grant q franchise to the Southern Pacific
company on Broadway. as given out in this
mornings HERALD, created considerable ex-
element in this city. There was upon
all sides expression of satisfaction that
the headlong policy adopted by the three
members of the board had been stopped and
that their authority to decide the ordinance
passed is to be settled by the courts.
The writ came in the nature Of complete
surprise to tho members of the council, who
favor the Southern Pacific. viz: Messrs. Weed,
Cox and Washburn, as the programme had
have gone through without hitch. Judge
Mckinley's order, however. was u corker, and
knocked the whole thing higher than O cooked
Failing of other arguments the Southern
Pacific is now ende avoring to create the inn
preston that the fight lies between the Santa
re and itself. In other words that the Santa
re is the obstructing party and that the prop
erty owners are out Of it, Referring to the writ
the Times of this morning says.
This action practically takes the battle out
OF the board OF trustees and transfers 1t to the
courts. where the real belligerents, the South
and the Southern California Railroad com
pany on the other can fight 1t out each side
furnishing its own counsel. 1t is hoped by
gal merits, so that the way in future will be
clear The question now is whether the South
ern Pacific railroad is to come into Pasadena
or be Kept out entirely for the manner OF its
coming is not now at issue. The two objects
aimed at in obtaining this writ of review were

These statements are obviously incorrect.
The question is not whether the Southern Pa
cine shall be allowed 10 come in or be kept out
forever" but whether three out of five coun-
cllmen have the right 10 grant them franchise
to comein. The Times states; 1.-THE decision
must be either to make the injunction per-
mant or to dissolve It," Just SO; but the in

Continuing on the matter, the Star says
