~lfctHt 70 INC Jcf"cU Cffy IseNs.
NEW BRUNSWICK, July u, 1885,
Five hundred men went to work at two
o'clock yesterday morning to lay the
tracks of the New Brunswick Traction
Company's road at Midtown, three miles
from this city. BY noon they had com
pleted 500 feet, and the managers of the
company hoped to have 1000 feet com
pleted before midnight.
The unusual haste is accounted for by
the fact that one of the largest prop
erty owners OF the Midtown turnpike,
Samuel Gordon, has opposed the laying
of tracks on the road past his property.
Mr.. Gordon fought the trolley com
pany on this ground Wednesday night
before the Borough Commissioners of
Midtown, but the latter passed an ordi-
nance giving the Traction Company the
right of way.
Mr.. Gordon's- lawyers went before the
Chancellor at Jersey City in the morning
to secure an Injunction. The. trolley
company expects to finish laying Loco
before an injunction can be served.

In other words. party cannot sue

The New York Tribune seems to b.
one Of the papers or persons referred to.

"A Washington dispatch presents the
names of certain Federal ofice-holders
who participated actively in the Demo

list contains a score and half of names
but does not profess to be complete. II
is extremely suggestive. There was a
