Tudge Diummond gave a declsion vesterdsy on the wotion to dissslve the iujunction recoutly rranted in the caso of the Michigan Conteal Ruile road Company ve. Tho Baltimore, DVittsburg & Chieago Ntallroad Company. 'Tho case, tho Judge , i i yemarked, wae not free fromn grave donbt aa ta ‘ll srhother the Court had jurledictton. The Indi- f! ana stututo anys {iat, if the two companics diea. [ groo, theC ourt would lave power to sppoint | Commigsioners o decide tho dsmagon. To thir ' case, ax iy well known, the Companies had utterly Ee 1riled to agroo o to any point of croseing, and, therefore, as it was a quostion of jurisdiction, 11 'was doubtful whether tba Court bad & right ta assoss the damages. ‘The Judgo rowarked that ho had no heaitation in eaying toot hodesirod, it he possessed the |; porwer, Lo say to tho two railroads that, ifit could 3. Do done, they should not cross at grade. Even thongh the sxpense would bo considerable to mako them pass on different grades, he thought it would be umutual advantage. It was nota question of present uke, but was & quastion for all time, as long as the two roads wero operated. p und a8 long a8 thoe present mode of locomotion was employed. Tho Judge did not feel inclined [ to lat the “injunction staud at tho presons time, | but deeided to rotain tho bill, and, if it turned | out that tho jurisdictional fact did not oxist, ! und that they bad no right, because the ntatuds of " Indiava had woi heen || cowphed with, then he might grant an injunction, But, conceding (st ho bad the power Lo compel £ ono road to jasy over or woder tho other, La § thought that each company should pey pact of { tho oxpenee, us no one vould prevent raflroads § from oxlondiug their lines, and they could not ‘L b | i b 5 ha) do it withons crossing thoso of other companies. Lho fact that uum‘:lnmnnvn road was the older, did not chango the wmatter, 1t was probably with this thoughe in view that the Commission- ors had ooly awarded nomine! demages tothe | compluinant. Ho Lhorefore thougbt thst no [ serivuk damage would arise to the complainant it ‘thio Daimors, Pittsbhrg & Chicago Railroad E Umg:a:.\ny wore allowed to crosy ils road |ab grado. At _tho sapo time, hiowever, the Judge said ho g would resorve the power to enjoin them if it H should uppear that ho liad the power todoso. Tt § was evident thas the poliey of the Statoof Indie ¢ ana wag to allow the railroads to_cross at grade, } although naturally there vould bo more neci- i donts, but these aro duo to a tack of skill on the pert of the amployes. He would wake an order diszolving tae tomporary injunction here- tofore pranted. ‘Cho dudge alto intimeted that ho intended to appoint some compelaut man to go and look at tiie locality of the proj:osed crossing, and report whether o crossing conld ba made nbove or below the complainant'y road, and whick company shonld cross abiove, aud also tho probable ax- pense. Mr. Cowen asked the Judga to make tho order Fo u4 to authorize tho Lullimore & Pittsburg Noud to 1o on and lay the crossivg, but ho de- ¢linod, on the ground that Le aonsidered hoe did nok have any authority to do 6o, hut would leave the Company free to do os it chose. Mr. Doxter, on bebal{ of the complalnant, of- fored to mako some agroepient with the detend- avt 88 to laying the tiuck, but Hr.
