Boston & Maine Sued.

A Boston dispatch says: ga bill in
equity has been entered in the circuit
court of the United States in behalf of Ben
jamin W. Jones and other stockholders of
the Central Massachusetts railroad against
the Boston & Maine Railroad company and
it's leased lines for an injunction to prevent
the Boston & Maine from further interfer-
ing with the franchise and property of the
Central Massachusetts, railroad, of which it
is claimed the Boston & Maine holds
lease illegally and that the contract under
which the lease is held will be declared
null and void. The plaintiff bases his
claim on the illegality of the contract on
the fact that the laws OF Massachusetts re-
quire that lease be approved by major
ity of the stockholders at special meeting
called for the purpose, which was not done
in this case. 1t is also claimed that the
road has been operated in violation of the
rights of stockholders of the Central Mas
sachusetts and that the lessee wilfully and
Intentionally refralned from operating and
managing the railroad to the best advan-
tage, thereby continuously and unjustly
discriminating against the interests of
the Central Massachusetts stockholders.
Among other allegations made by the
plaintiff is one that the lease of the Con-
necticut River railroad to the Boston &
Maine railroad required the approval of
the board of directors Of the Central Mas
sachusetts, which it did not have, as well
as the approval of its stockholders, which
was never given. 1t is also claimed that
the lease by the Boston & Maine of the
Come eticut River road and the operation
thereof by the Boston & Maine, has been a
great damage to the interests of the Cen
tral Ms ssa .huse.ts stockholders"
Among the things prayed for is the
annulliug of the lease of the Connecticut
River road to the Boston & Maine.
