The Railroad Condemned,

The projectors OF the new coal works
south Of Bellalre, Messrs. Morgan, de-
sired q trestle over the Bellaire, Zanes-
Vile & Columbus tracks, at their plant,
and the delay of the officials Of that
road In giving an answer to their re-
quest led them to proceed with the
work Sunday night. They got Z, the
trcstle up without being enjoined, but
the railroad people proceeded to tear 1t
down later in the night. The. trestle
did not In any way interfere with the
road: not a support to 1t was even
placed on their ground, and the action
