A petition was yestercay filed in the United | States Circuit Court, before Judge Benedict, on the part of Aaron S. Bright, praying for an injunction against the Milwaukee and St. Pau! Railroad Com. | pany preventing them from issuimg or vending on the market any part of $35,000,000 of mortgage bonds which the said company are now endeavor- | ing to negotiate as a consolidated mortgage on | all the lines of road controlled by said company, The petitioner, Bright, represents the holders of a third mortgage upon the La Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad Company, whose railroad has come to be in possession of the Milwaukee and St. Paul Company. The petitioners claim that they are entitled to re- | deem the property of the La Crosse and Milwaukee | Rallroad Company, an offer of which they pave made, They also claim that the plaintiifs in the sult came lnto possession of the property of the petitiouers, being about 200 miles of road, and that they, as trustees for the petitioners, nave re- ceived the reuts, profits and earnings of said prop- erly, and are bound to account for the same and apply the same to the discharge of the mortgages | prior to said third mortgage. The petitioner claims that he holds $1,000,000 of said mort- | gage > bonds, and that ail other holders can come in and unite with him, and the peti- | tower lurtuer ciaims that said rent and income | Will nearly, if not quite, discharge all the lens | upon said property prior to that lien held by pe- titoner. Petitioner tartner states that ne is ad- | vised and so charges the fact to be tuat the com- | Plainant as a corporation is now about putting on | the market 4 general and consolidated loan of | $35,000,000 secured by a mortage on the whole of | ‘the several railroads wnich constitute its corpor- ate property, and which 1s intended to include the said La Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad, therefore castiny @ further and oppressive burden upon tne rights of this petitioner and others as such third mortgage bondholders and upon the equity of redemption vested In them as such.

Judge Woodrud—W hat parties did you say sent in applications? ‘ Mr. Davenport—The democratic—the Tammany Hall party—and the republican, Judge Woodruff—t had occasion to tell you two years ago that I recognize no subdivision or clique. “The Court deals with those who act with and support principles; those who support the | national administration on the one hand, and those who oppose them. local contests and phraseology. to get this right on its minutes, Colonel Fellows, as counsel for the democratic party. announced that the objections which the Chief Supervisor made on the score of writing quaufications would not be contested. a supple- mentary list to fill the Vacancies so caused would | be handed in during the afternoon.
