STOKES WINS POINT.
INJUNCTION AGAINST HIM IS
 DISSOLVED.
He May Continue Temporarily as Geneisal Manager of Alabama Central Railway Despite
 Custer of Dfmmiclks.

The injunctioN granted by the Cham oerv Court, restraining interference with M. c. Stokes in the discharge OF duties as General Manager of the Ala hama Central Railway will stand with certain notifications, ordered yester- day. unless the Supreme Court reverses a decree rendered by Chancellor ". IL. Parks. .
 Chancellor Parks reached Montgom- cry yesterday morning, ana' after hearing arguments from nc . untti 1:s0 o'clock in the Stokes-D -Dimmick legal controversy, announced two de- crees. The first decree ovurruied the motion of Capt J. W. Dimmick, and others on that side of the case, to dis miss the bill filed by Mir. Stokes and to dissolve the injunction heretofore granted under the prayer of the bill, but at the same time increasing tns injunction bona form $500 to s1,oeo. From this decision, counsel for the Dimmick interests declared that an immediate appeal will be taken and the case will be submitted to the Su- preme Court as quickly as possible.
 The second decree by the Chancellor and one involving points on which the arguments of counsel yesterday were spent, modified the existing injunction under a petition filed yesterday morn ing by counsel for the Dimmick inter ests.
 A similar petition was filed Tuesday in the name of the Alabama Central Railway. This petition, according to the ChancelIor's ruling, was stricken from the case, and the petition in the name of Captain Dimmick and Joseph P. Dimmick was then filed.
 It is understood the prime object or this petition was to have the inJunc- tion modified so that the acts of Cap tain Dimmick, for which they were ad- Judged in contempt Monday, will be in harmony with the injunction as 1t now stands modified.
 The decree of the chancellor on this issue was as follows:
