The removal of the spur tracks
 from Valley street by the Iron Noun tain railroad, in consequence of the settling Jf the site of the new pas- ting of the site of the new passen- ger depot so that no freight will Le
 handed north of the line of the depot, is in cAancery court, where an intervention and cross complaint on the part of Whittington.Stea is holding the matter from final deci- sion
 Tho Ircn Mountain railroad is now Willing that the tracks should be re moved, and the city is making the demand for the removal of the tracks. Some of the property owners along Valley street where the track abuts are also anxious that the track be removed.
 The city is represented by Leo Me Laughlin, the Iron Mountain by E. E. kinswcrthy, and Judge Huff and A. J. Murphy represent property owners who want the tracks removed; while Rector and Sawyer represent Whit. tington-Stearns.
 The Wilmington tStearns Company set up two reasons why the tracks should not be removed, the first being that they have a contract with the railroad to use and operate the tracks for their freight business; and second, that the city and the rail road have entered into a conspiracy against the firm and it's operation of the tracks
 The city disclaims any such con. spiracy, and the Iron Mountain Mountain claims that it has the right to cease to operate tho spur when public policy demands that the spur be no lCnger operated.
 Judge Henderson gave careful hear ing yesterday afternoon to the attor neys representing all the conflicting interests. After Mir Kinsworthy, act ing for the Iron Mountain, stated that the company could not make any progress with it's new depot building until something was done in the matter, Judge Henderson sug. gested that all the parties agree that the spur should temporarily be moved further east on Valley street, so that Whittington-Stearn would not be denied continuous traffic, and that such condition remain until the rights of ali parties were disposed of
 That was finally consented to by al parties, though City Attorney Me. iaughlin stated that, it was his inn pressirn that the franchise given the railroads originally provided just where in the street the tracks should be placed and if such was the case, and the tracks had been placed there. and not the whole use of the stree given in the franchise, of course ht could not give the assent of the citr to any change in the tracks.

HUERTA LEAVES
 WAR TORN MEXICO
SAILS ON GERMAN CRUISER FOR EUROPE ACCOMPANIED BY
 MINISTER OF WAR.
Not the Faintest Goodbye is Heard as Former Dictator Leaves Mexico For Trip Over Seas.

Puerto Mexico, July 20.-The Ger man cruiser Dresden, with former President Huerta and his family and former War Minister Blanquet, Se- nora Banquet and their daughter aboard, sailed at 7:30 o'clock this evening for Jamaica.
 The departure of the former chief executive was without incident, there not being even any shouts of ''Good- n,e' to him from the dock.
 The only thing to indicate anyone of distinction was aboard the Ores dea was an extended file of fifty ragged troops. These troops pre- sented arms as the Dresden moved out but it was so dark it is doubtful If Huerta observed this sole official tribute to his departure The town tonight is an object of considerable speculative interest. Orders have been issued for the retirement during the night of virtually all the troops, leaving the place open to the c,nsti- tutionalists.
 The feeling toward Americans ias not been bettered by the presence of Huerta and his followers and there is some apprehension as to what re- ccption awaits the remaining few here tomorrow
 Just when the remainder of the Huerta party will be able to leave lis uncertain. The steamer Mexico may arrive early in the morning. in which case she will be bearded by the refugees during the course of the day and will leave before night.
