NJU NOTION REFUSED
Judge Cox Will Not Enioin Commissioners

While he has not yet signed the order in
the cases. Judge Cox has announced to
counsel in them that he cannot grant the
injunctions prayed for by the Baltimore
and Potomac and the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Companies, TO restrain the Dis
trict Commissioners from enforcing tho
police regulations requiring steam railroad
companies to stop their locomotives and
trains before passing over street railway
crossings. The judge viii sign the order.
refusing the injunction and dismissing the
cases, as soon ii is presented to him by
the attorney Of the District, which will be,
1t is understood, i'm a day or two.
The cases Were argued several days ago,
as reported in The Star at the time the
railroad companies asking for the injunc-
tCn because, as they contend I'd. the Dis
trlct commissioners, in making the regula-
ton IN question, exercised power expressly
reserved TO C0ngre IS. They also CsIitcEded
that the regulation is just ana l!ureason-
able. and also an Interruption of the car
rElhS OF the United States mails and in
terstate commerce.
The Districts attorneys. of course denied
all that, and also insisted that a court OF
equity is without power or authority TO
ehJGln CRIMINAL proceedings, which would
be lhey say, the effect of q granting Of The
lnJunctions. This latter view of the mat
Ter Judge Cox took in reaching his concIu-
SIGN, holding that the Equity Court caDrot
thJoin criminal proceedings, and also hold
ing Ihat the objection urged against the
regulation must be made in the Police
Court when the enforcement of it Is at
tempted IN proceedings there
IL Is undt rstood that counsel for the rail-
ICdu companies IN question are undecided
whether TO appeal from Judge Cox's ,lacis-
lcn' or take the matter from the Police
Court TO the Court of Appeals when they
are proceeded against in the former court.

THE FARMERS MARKET.
Favorable Report by the Senate Dis
trict Committee on Their Request.

Senator Gallinger yesterday afternoon
made a written report from the District
committee the joint resolution intro
duced December 3 with favorable recon-
mendation. The resolution provides that
the provisions of the ordinance approved
May u, 1857, requiring the clerks of the
several markets to lay off and marx in
convenient spaces for the sale of vcge-
tables, and extending the powers of the
clerks to fifteen feet of the streets meas
uring from the curb line. shall apply to the
south front of Center Market and to the
clerk of said market. 1t further provides
that the law of 1871 eXempting from Ii
cense persons bringing marketing to the
District shall remain in full force and be
applicable to farmers and truckmen rails
ing produce and doing business on the
north side of B street north along the
south front Of the Center Market.
In the report the committee reviews
the order of the Commissioners driving the,
market wagons and stands OF produce
dealers from the north side of Is street
north between 9TH and 9th streets The
committee found forty-four parties to the
controversy; the District Commissioners
the farmers and gardeners, the Washing
ton Market Company and the houSekeepcrs
of the city of Washington. 1t found that
the farmers and gardeners .,ontended that
since the establishment in 1Su2 of public
markets in the city they have been ac-
customed to sell their produce from sta
tionary wagons backed up against the
sidewalks near the market. that they have
never been charged a license fee, and that
they fear injury to their health from ex-
posture in the -unsheltered place to which
the Commissioners intended removing
them. 1t also found that the Washington
Market Company claimed the Commission
ers were trying to build up a rival market.
1t further found that it would seriously
Inconvenience the housekeepers OF Wash
ington If the retail selling of farm produce
at the Center Market should cease, and
they should be compelled TO seek their
supplies In all weather in unsheltered
places The committee found that there is
no existing necessity for the expulsion of
these classes from B street north between
18th and 9th streets, and therefore rerom-
mended the adoption Of the joint resolution.
