As fs known, the track was lald by the Chicago & Evanston Raflrosd Company fwo years ugo, aud extends from the city limits to Clybourn place, No cars have ever bueen run an the road—in truth there is no such company pt on paper, there belog no tracks outeide of the limlts—and the property- vwners deeming the rulls an obstruc- tion desire to have them token up, They ey they have no objection to the road coming In fn the rear of their huuses, and some of them laye even offered to donate s portion of thelr lots if the rear alley ls used. As the avenuc now I8, {t cannot be fmproved, since the pave. ment would be lable to be torn np, aa the Com- puny has nuthority under its charter to lay an- ather track and” turn-outs ff they so clect. With ndouble track on o atreet 60 feet wide, e property-owners clalin there would be no ooty for teams to pass. There s cer- sululy no immcediate prospect of cars running on the avenue, but the people living there luok upon the track as a uwuisance—the mud being knee deep aut thnes—and, as the Company seems to be deud, they want ita effects burleil with it. The sttendonce at the meeting last evening was llmited, owlng to o wisunderstand- (e us to the night of assembling, Mr. Thomos Mouldlng presided, und Tom Btagg acted asg Seerctury.

To ihe Kditor of The Tridune. Citicaao, Aug. 21.—It your reporter, who scribbled off the short paragraph about tho Evanston & Chicago Raflroad, hnd taken the troublo to have gotten a little better posted, ho would not have used the word ‘ vandals.” For, though the people may have been provoked In taking the law {n thelr own hands, yet they are by no means feroclous or barbarians, A more meaceablo or respectable set of German work- Ingmen cannot be found n Chlcago. Thoy are frugal, industrious, and saving, each onc own- {ing his nice little cotiage with beautiful flower- gardens in front. These people thought they owned the street, and it would mnever bs changed, but tho lato corrupt City Council gave tho right-of-way to the abuve Com- pany, nnd, just ‘about midnight, or carly flumhy morn, about two _years azo, the real vandals, the Chleago & Evans- ton Rallrond Company, commenced to lay ita track in front of their doors, they clalming the richt to lay n double track on a 60-foot strect. ‘These poor peoplo could see nothing but their nlce homes destroyed, the lives of thelr children endangered, and fo dmy went to work witha will and tore up the track, burned the tics, nnd destroyed the ralls, By this they gained time and got out_an Injunction. Judge Farwell al- lowed the ComL‘mn_v to lny down their trucl, and there it {s, destroying the street and of no use, -It Isa strong proof that these people are not vandals, or there would have been blood spilled on both occasions. Let the Compan pay for their right of way and run thelr trac on'thelr own ground.. That is all that is asked of them. Public meetings have bheen held every week for the past month, to consider the best means by which the track can be removed and tho strect put in good condition, - No VAxDAL. DETFERRED DIVIDENDS, THE COOK COUNTY NATIONAL DANK. The creditors of the Cook County Natlonal Bank will be disappointed to learn that they caunot, for the prescnt at least, receive the dividend of 10 per cent from the bankrupt's es- tate. This delay is caused by an Injunction granted yesterday by Judge Drummond against A. I, Burley, Recelver of the Cook County Bank, at the fostance of the Charter Oak Lifc In- eurance Company of Hartford, Conn. The com- plainant statcs that on the §th dny of February, 1875 it became the owner of & claim for §009,035.48 with Interest against the bauk. This claim was assigned to it by Allen, Stephens & Co., of New York, and was' for n balance due them by the bank. The complainant alleges that It lias filed & proct of debt with Mr. Burley 80 as to share fn any dividends that may bo made, but that the Receiver utterly refuscs to recognize the valldity of the clnfm, nrdpnv the dividend of 10 per cent which he has declnred on ull the other debts of the bavk. If this claim be allowed the bank will not be sble to pay more than 5 per cent dividend, The com- rlulmmt therefore nsked that an injunction be ssucd nzainst the Recolver to prevent him from paving any dividend until this sum has been allowed 08 a vaiid debt against the banlk, THE INJUNCTION ORANTED. An application wos ut once made to Judge Drunuwond for an Injunction, Mcesrs. Lyman and Jackson, of this city, and Mr. H. Cardozo, of New Yorl, appearing for the complainant, aud Mr. H. S." Monros for the defendant. After o statement of the facts by Mr. Cardozo, Mr. Monroe pald that it the allegations of the bill wera truc he sup- posed the injunction ought to fssue, but that the validity of the debt was disputed. Judge Drummond Imvu the defendant’s counsel tho ontiun of either paying the complainant its per- centage with the othier conditions or having the injunction Jssue. The lotter alternative was chosen, and nlcmporn?' injunction was allow- ol with leave to defendants to make any appli- catlon for Its dissolution, B. F. Allen, former President of the Cook County National Bunk, as is well known, waa o partner with Allen, Stephens & Co., and this debt was fncurred while such partner and while the Cook County Bank was rlmnlnfi; Its validity {s contested,aud there will probably be n sborp fight over the matter. The result” will be to delay the judgment of any dividend Indeflnllcl{y, 08 the present sult which will In- volve the [egality ot this large debt must be first ‘duddcd, which may not be for some months. A reporter yesterday sought out 3R, DURLEY, and asked him concerning the clalm, and, fn cspeclal, why he had refused toallow it. In reply, Mr. Burley safd that he expected to show an olfset. of fully $500,000 agalnat tho $630,000 claimed, and for that reason liad refused to nd- mit the claim. Further, he repested that he would not allow it unless by a direct order of court. Ile expected that when the wholo mat- ter was gone Into, on o motion_to dissolve the injuncticn, thers woukl be no difficulty in hav- ing the claiin thrown out, Ile was not able to stato how long (b would be before the matter would be settled. TIIE COURTS. THE INDIANA BLOCK-COAL COMPANTY, Gen. Anderson, Recelver of the Chicago, Dan- ville & Vincennes Rullrosd Company, flled a petition yesterday In the United States Circult Court getting out that at the terminus of the Indlana Division of the read fn Fountain Coun- ty there are scveral coal companics located.

The conl company some time ago iude on arrangement with the railroad company, by which it agreed to extend the road to the new mine,dolugthe grud- Ing and furnishing the tles, if the rallrowl comn- pany would furnish tho ralls and lay the track, k’an of this extension has been” made, but the conl company s unable to fulnil the remufnder of its engagement. It, however, offers to puy the differcoce In conl. The Re- celver thinks it will anly cost about $5,000 to Iinish the road, and, a8 it I8 imperatively veees- sary to preserve this lucrntive coal trafiic, he ;mknkflm he may beallowed to complete the rac An order was made by Judge Drummand al- luwlnfi such expenditure, providing it did not cexceed §5,000, DIVORCES.
