STOPS THE PAVING.
Injunction Prevents Completion
Of Ninth Street Paving.

Late Thursday afternoon, temper
airy restraining order was granted by
Judge Pagan of the probate court to
stop the work of building the tracks of
the Vinewood Park railway on Ninth
street between Quincy and Monroe.
The restraining order holds till Sep
TENDER, unless Judge Hazen, on his re-
turn from his trip to Colorado. decides
to take up the matter at once.
However, the Vinewood Park railway
has accomplished all it wanted to ac-
eomplish for the time being. Tt has all
its rails and ties in place, and the only
thing that the temporary injunction
does is to prevent it from paving its
rOadbed, thing which it would be OF
more advantage to the people than to
the road to have done
City Attorney Spencer's petition for
an injunction reviews the Vinewood
Park railway litigation very thorough
", and contends that the right to build
tracks on Ninth street has never been
legally secured by the Vinewood park
road He claims that the old tracks
were torn UP in compliance with an or
dinance passed by the city council
which in substance repealed the orig
inal franchise.

AMERICAN METHODS.
Docking Facilities in London to Cost
S1O,OOO,OOO.

New York, Aug 16-In an interview
with a Journal of Commerce reporter,
President Baker of the Atlantic Trans
port line announced that plans have
been completed for providing new
docking facilities in London at a cost
+ of $40, 900, 900. President Baker says in
part:
England is far behind America. in
it's facilities for handling freight, par
ticularly grain. At present the freight
is unloaded into barges, then taken to
a place where it is weighed; there IN
loaded, weighed and loaded on another
barge for delivery. The wharves are
poorly arranged for the storage of mer-
chandise and the warehouses are 40 or
80 feet from the edge of the wharf
England'S capital is tied up and is be-
ing pressed by the Americans and Ger
mans. Owing to the old-fashiOned
methods it costs about IS per ton to
handle the freight after it arrives in
London, while it only costs Is per ton
here. The Leyland company and the
Atlantic Transport company will carry
to London $4,000 tons of freight every
week or about $500, 600 tons a year and
it will be readily seen that the saving
by the use of American methods which
we shall introduce VIII be very great.
I estimate that by the use of new
docks or basins by the Leyland COM
pany and the Atlantic Transport COM
pany, on the community of interest
system, even if only Is per ton is saved,
it will mean an income of 1212 to Is
per cent on a capital of $4,000. OO0."
According to the Journal of Com
merce, conservative advices received
here from Liverpool contain the defin-
tie statement that an alliance is con-
templated between the Leyland, the
Atlantic Transport and the American
lines. The Leyland line, it will be re-
called, was recently purchased by J.
P. Morgan as the head of a syndicate.
The fact that the Atlantic Transport
and Leyland lines were to be operated
in harmony has been known for some
time There have been at various
times and in various forms reports that
the American line was also a part of
Mr.. Morgan's plan but these reports
have been in each instance denied
So far as the arrangement that is to
be in effect among the various compa-
MES is concerned, it will, apparently, be
merely the application of the conmun-
ity of interest plan of operation to the
steamship business. The connection of
the various lines will be of a close
character and will, it is stated, be full
ly indicated when the new directors of
the Leyland line become known 1t may
be stated positively, however, that the
flags and tunnels of the three fleets will
remain distinct as at present and the
lines will be managed separately as is
now the case.
At the office of J. P. Morgan & Co. no
information or confirmation would be
given on the proposed alliance.
