TORE Up THE TRAcK.-People living
contiguous to the electric railway
from the Driving Park to Oronoco
street in this city were about as much
astonished this morning when they
awoke as was the King of China when
he found Aladdin's palace had taken
its flight during the night. The rail.
way track, which had been in use up
to 10 o'clock last night, had van.
ished. The ties were visible, but not
rail could be seen anywhere. The
company had decided some time ago to
abandon the st. Asaph line. Know
Ing, however, that if they attempted to
move the rails from the roadbed the st.
Asapb people would secure an fniunc-
ton against the company, they waited
until last night, when they found the
way clear. Having satisfied them
selves that there was no posi-
bility of the st. Asaph people secur-
ing an injunction on account of
the absence of any judge before whom
they might appear, the company
gathered large force of laborers, near.
~ fifty, and went to work. The work
was pushed forward as rapidly as pos
sible and by this morning the work had
been down. 1t was whispered last week
that the work of demolishing the road
would begin last Monday, and the race
track people were on the alert
to prevent it. The latter claimed that
the railway company had assured them
that the route to Washington would be
through their grounds, and the St.
Asaph track people had spent their
money in aiding to bring the road to
their property. Recently it became
apparent that the company had no
further use for the road to the Driving
Park, as they were building their
Washington extension half mile to
the west of st. Asaph. The officials of
the track had interviews with the rail-
way people and protested against the
abandonment of the track and told the
company they would be satisfied if the
present track was connected with the
main line. This would require laying
of rails for about half q mile. The
company demurred, saying it would in
volye an expenditure of $4,000 to do
so. The race track people replied that
they would do the work themselves for
$1,000. 1t was intimated that should
the branch road be abandoned a suit
would follow, and this is now believed
to be inevitable. The railroad people
in their explanation for removing the
track claims that they were assured
the right OF way to the St. Asaph track
before the road was built, but that they
were forced to pay for some of the land
through which their rails were laid;
that recently when they requested par
ties owning the ground on the line of
their road to sign articles giving the
company the right of way they met
with q refusal. The company, there
fore, concluded they had no right of
way, but were being allowed to operate
the road by sufferance; hence it was
determined to abandon it, and last
night, after cars had ceased running,
the work was accomplished. The
company also say that by Monday
next their new line will be in opera
tion and that cars will pass the western
end of the track and that no particular
inconvenience will be afforded the St.
Asaph people,

People living on Fayette street, be-

elevated and in order to put the square
in proper condition they claim it should
be paved and the alleys leading to it
