INJUNcrioN-Judge Norton has
granted an injunction on the application
OF the w. a. & F. G. Ry. Co. restrain
ing the W., A. s. Mt. V. Ry. Co. from
removing any of its tracks on Chadwick
avenue at Rosslyn. The Injunction is
to hold till farther orders from Judge
Nicol, of the Circuit Court. The Falls
Church company claim that on Chad
wick avenue there is a double track,
jointly owned by the two companies,
and that on the west track trolley
was strung by that company to COM
municate the electric power to run
their cars over that track. On We'd
nesday night they received notice from
the Mt. Vernon company that next
morning two rails would be taken
from the west track and that the
Falls Church company must so ar
range their trolley wires that by a
cross-over switch they could at one
point run their cars from the west to
the east track, and then having gotten
beyond the point where the two rails
were to be removed by another cross
switch they could be put back again on
the west track. The Falls Church
company claim that both tracks are
main tracks and that they are entitled
to thu use of both OF them; that they
would not have had time to change
their wires even if they had been
obliged to have done so, and that the
Mt. Vernon company has no right to
make use of the west track for purposes
of loading and unloading stone, &C., SO
as to prevent the Falls Church COM
pany from using that track.

MAJ. JoHNsoN's EEsIGNATIoN.-Ma.
ior a. II. Johnson, chief engineer OF
maintenance of way of the Baltimore
and Ohio, mas handed in his resignation
TO take effect in July. No one will be
appointed to succeed him. The work
of this branch of the service will be
consolidated with the engineering de-
partment, under Chief Engineer Viii.
liam 7. Manning. For about sixteen
wears Major Johnson has been connect
ed with the Baltimore and Ohio. He
was injured in an accident on the Ohio
River Railroad about five years ago,
and since that time has suffered con-
siderable inconvenience from his H.
iuries. He intends to remove to his
home near Manassas, where he has
large farm. Major Johnson is sixty
years old. He was chief engineer OF
construction of the old Manassas Rail
road, and was division engineer of the
B. & O.'s maintenance of way depart
ment before becoming its head. Major
Johnson is native of this city and has
brother, Mr.. j. NJ. Johnson, and Sis
tiers now residing here. Some sixteen
months ago he wanted to resign his po-
sition on the B. & o. r. R., for two rea-
sOns-because of the condition of his
health and that his relations with his su-
perior officer, the vice president, were
not very cordial. The rumor OF his
resignation reached the ears of Mr..
Mayer, president of the company, and
shortly afterwards Mr.. Mayer went to
the majors office and asked him if the
runor of his intention to resign was
true The major said it was, and at
Mr. Mayors request he gave his rea-
sons Mr.. Mayer then said he would
at once wire an order that hereafter he
was not to report to the vice president
but directly to the president, which
would remove one of the reasons: and
for the other, he was given a three
months leave of absence on full pay
Cor the three months. 1t enabled him
to 90 to Europe to recover his health,
and ii not recovered by that time his
leave would be extended indefinitely.
Mr. Mayer then said to him, 81 want
you to promise me that You will re-
main on the road as long as l am presi-
dent. The major promised, and as
soon as Mr.. Mayer ceased to be presi-
dent the major resigned his position.

y letter from Hon. John Q. Pcndlcton,
going the rounds of the press, chronicles
the important fact that Mr.. Bryan, the
Populist-Democratlc nominee for the
presidency, made his speech In Con-
SreSa for the Wilson bill from his pcn-
dleton's) seat, Mr.. PcndlctOn, however,
fails to state that from that same seat
he, himself made 4 speech against the
policy which Mr.. Bryan Is now making
the paramount Issue In this campaign.
Mr.. PcndIcton had been elected on n
free silver platform. but took the first
opportunity In Congress to declare that
the free silver idea was hercsy, and
that while he ut first considered It right,
he had changed his mind, md he gave
good reasons for the new faith that was
within him.
on that occasion Mr. Pcndlcton, and
we call attention to It because he IL like
~ t" be the Democratic nominee for
Congress in this district. said that the
free and unlimited coinage OF silver ut
the ratio OF lG to would lead to un-
told misery in this country, and he got
into very lively debate with Populst
Jerry Simpson. the famous s0ckless
statesman, and did him up In such
great shape that the sound money peo-
pie all over the country applauded him
for the good work.
The Intelligencer cannot, without
doubling Mr.. Pendleton's sincerity. be-
lIeve that he has again changed his
mind on the important question which
his lamentcd party has declared Is the
paramount issue" and. with all due
respect. now call upon him To answer
this question: Are you in favor OF the
free. Independent and unlimited coinage
OF silver at ratio OF lG 10 |? And, Il 50,
when did you again change your mind"
This IS not an impairment question, in
view OF the fact that Mr., PcnGlcton is
about to ask the sutfraS-s of the people
for an office which, II 1t IS given him,
will confer upon him the right TO cast a
vote In Congress either for she thing
which he denounced In the speech refer
red to. or against Il.
II all the things which Mr.. Pendlcton
said about the free silver doctrine were
true when he was in Congress they must
be true now. Mr. Pcndlcton may not
have trouble In ncrsuadinS himself and
some OF his friends that Mr.. Bryan is
good man to vote for for President be-
cause he made free trade speech when
Mr.. Pcndl-tOn knew hin In Congress.
but he will have great deal of trouble
in convincing himself, in view OF his
| Own record on the money question. that
Mr.. Bryan should be elected on the plat
form which makes the thing which Mr.
Pendlcton denounced as dangerous
policy the paramount issue"
