Injunction Asked.

A petition has been filed in the
Circuit Court, asking for an in
junction against the Philadelphia,
Baltimore & Washington Railroad
Company, restraining it from
using certain street beds in Havre
de Grace, where the line to the new
bridge now crosses. The petition
states that the compliments, over
twenty in number, have titles of
ownership to certain streets therein
named, as the same was never con-
veyed to the city, and the Mayor
and City Council of Havre de Grace
had no right to grant the use Of the
same to the railroad company. The
court passed a nisi order requiring
the railroad company to show cause
why perpetual injunction should
not be issued.
