The following communication was recelvod from Jay Gould, president of the Ene Raliway Compaxy, under date November 30:— While the procentiens were pending in the United States Circuit Court yosterjay_an attempt was made by partics hostie to the Erie road to anucipate the decision of the court audio render it nugatory. An application was made, on behaif of Retmont, to a State judge, on the repre-entacion that it was authorized th the aAtcorney General to re- move uo, tfusiees and dy tots. 4 ae Eri Company on the complaint of the eople d that an fojanction might issue and a receiver be appointed in the meantime. ‘Tne des red order was gianted, but we caanoi ascertain who was fo fortu- nate as to be appointed the receiver, The Aviorney General was asked by telegrapa if he had authorized any such proceedings, and he answered, «The pro- ceedings are unauthorized,” and thereunon the suit and all proc: edings unaer it were discontinued, Tils ends another aitempt to dispose of the road and jig directors in a summary manner, DEPARTURE OF MA. FISK FOX PARTS UNKNOWN. The Polico Authoritics on the Scert. At about ten o’clock on Sunday night Superin- tendent Kennedy received information to the eifect that promiment members of the board of direciors of the Erie Railway Company purposed leaving the city during the night, and purposed, furtner, to carry away with them an amount of property belonging to the company. The Superintendent thought that under the circumstances it would be ia the interests of justice to know something furcher of the matte and to ascertain definitely whether any such absconding process should take place. fe accordingly summoned Captain John Young, of the detective squad, and after a brief consuitation both these genticmen concluded that the partics ailuded to in the information given wouid bear watching. Captain Young Immediately ect about the matter, and calling to his assistance detective Irving, of nis own squad, detectives Barker and Murphy, of the Fifteenth precinct, detective Fields, of the Fifih, and @ few others, repaired to the Eric buildings at Chambers and West streets. A brief survey of the premises pisialy showed that PREPARATIONS FOR WE FLIGHT were in progress, The Presklent's room in the building was lit np, three coaches wero standing in front of the building on West street, parties were continually going in and out with most cautious movements, and there wero othor evidences of a large party belug in the building. While the oficers were noting the situation im this locality a man, holding his coat collar with both hands so that it covered the lower part of his face, and having his hat siouched down over his eyes, passed the cetec- tives and then returned, eyeing them most snsyicl- ously; but he was ogling men mach more exert than he, and despite his muriting ie was ized aa Mr. Mackintosh. superintendent of ferries for the Fri Raiiway Company, Not many ininutes after a per. son auswering to the description of Mr. Fisk was seen to leave the building and toward the ferry, He, of course, was closely watched, andoa the dock lewliug to the ferry house & young man stepped up to hum and served him with some papers.
