oxy-Hydrogen Case Retired-Numerous
Entries Made in Others Suits.
In Chancery Court Monday after
noon the trial list was reviewed. The
long standing case of the Mayor. and
Council of Wilmington vs.. j. Edward
Addicks, ct al, which involved the
question Of the right Of the Oxy-
Hydrogen Co. to open the streets for
the purpose of laying gas pipes, was
retired. This was an injunction suit
brought to the March term, 1891, the
city having the gas people restrained
from laying pipes. Since the gas people
have taken a new tack by putting the
case in the Superior Court on mandamus
proceedings, no need remained for con-
tinuing the litigation in Chancery.
Under the mandamus proceedings the
gas company will attempt to make the
city show why it should not be COM
PEELED to grant permit to open the
streets. A, W. Spruance and William
S. Hiiles represent the city, and Austin
Harrington and II. II. Ward the gas
company.
