A telegram received at Newport
News yesterday announced that the
Supreme Court has handed down an
order refusing to grant the appeal ap-
piled for by Commonwealth Attorney
Newton in the injunction case OF the
city against the Newport News and Old
Point Railway and Electric Company.
By this decision the order Of Judge
Barham, of the Corporation Court, dis
solving the Injunction against the com
pany, stands, and the company'5 status
is exactly the same, so far as judicial
proceedings are concerned, as it was
before the temporary injunction was
granted. The City Council, however,
has since revoked the franchises OF the
company, and it may not proceed with
the work of laying its tracks in the
city until the Circuit Court decides
whether or not this action was illegal.
