In Elk County Common Tlcas. No.
1, September Term 1881, In Equity.
Opinion and Order of the Court on
the Application for a Preliminary
Injunction.
By assent of counsel, the affidavits
entitled in the case of defciKlants
versus plaintirft in No. 2, September
term, 1881, are to bo considered as if
entitled in tliis case.
The plain tlfl, as reason for a pre
liminary injunction, alleges the sur
vey, location and adoption of the
route of a railroad from or near Alton,
in M'Kean county, to or near Kersey,
in Elk county, and from thence to or
near Falls creek, on the Allegheny
Valley railroad; that such routo be
tween Johnson burg and Ridgway Is
along the north and west side of the
Clarion river, on the side of hills so
precipitous that it Is possible to con
struct thereon but one railroad; that
defendant Intends by force, &c, to
prevent the construction of plaintiff's
road, and are taking steps to carry
such intention Into effect, and that
collisions are likely to occur between
the laborers and servants of the re
spective parties, provoking breaches of
the peace, Ac; that the defendant's
Interference with and obstruction of
plaintiffs rights will make the build
ing of plaintiffs road impossible, and
do It irreparable Injury.
On the argument, the only question
presented was tlio nllou;ed r 1 1 1 of the
plitiiitiir. as against, the defendant, to
that portion' of the route between
Jolinsonburg and Uldgway, on the
north and west shies of the Clarion
river; and, as bearing upon this ques
tion, a variety of propositions were
discussed, embracing, among others, a
denial of thccorpoiatc existence of the
plaintiff, and, if existijig, a denial of
t lie riuht. to locate and build the roads,
ns set forth in the plaiutilfs bill, to
gether with a denial of the asserted
right of the plaintiff to the route, as
claimed by It, between Johustinburir
and Ridgway.
By act of Assembly, approved April
8, 1870, Thomas L. Kane and others,
anil their associates, were constituted
a body corporate by the name of "The
Wilcox and Howard Hill Improve
ment Company," with power to hold
laud in fee simple, or by lease, in the
counties of M'Kean anil Elk. and to
construct, equip and manage a rail
road or railroads lending from any of
their lands to the Philadelphia and
Erie railroad, or to the Allegheny
Valley rail mail, or connecting any
two or more railroads which may lie
constructed by them in either or both
of said counties. The act confers on
the corporation all the powers and
privileges of any and all general rail
road laws of theConimonwealth; also,
the riglit to receive, in payment of
subscriptions to the stock, any lands
situate in the counties of M'Kean,
Cameron and Elk, along or in the
vicinity of the works they are author
ized to construct, and to purchase, re
ceive, hold, lease, and mortgage and
sell, all such lands as may lie sold,
subscribed, donated or otliersvise
granted to them.
June 2S, 18S1, the name of "The
Wilcox and Howard Hill Improve
ment Company'' was changed to
"The New York. Lake Erie and
Western Coal and Railroad Company,"
by decree of the court of common
pleas of M'Kean county.
. Upon the evidence presented by the
parties, we come to the conclusion
that the plaintiff is an existing corpo
ration, as claimed in the 11 rst para
graph of the bill, with the rights and
powers as claimed in the second para
graph, and that it had and has the
right to locate niui construct the rail
road or railroads upon the route and
between the points as claimed in the
third paragraph, subject to the restric
tion that it may not interfere with the
location or mute previously surveyed,
marked and adopted by any other cor
poration authorized to locate and con
struct a railroad between the same
points, or intermediate points, on the
smiie. route. Tills brings us to the
(Uestioii had the plaintiff located the
line of its road between Jolinsonburg
and Ridgway before the defendant lo
cated its road between the same point?
Juno 27, lfc&l, the defendant com
pany was organized under the general
railroad laws of the .Slate. It appears
by the affidavit of E. K- Willard, the
engineer in charge, that, commenc
ing on the 2d of July and ending the
1'th July, 1881, the route of defend
ant's road, was located, and between
Jolinsonburg and Ridgway was evi
denced hy a continuous line of stakes,
aud that ail clianucs and revisions im
portant had theu been made; that the
work of clearing and grading on the
line was commented on the 2d July,
and continued down lo the time of the
argument, excepting a few days, when
restrained by order of court.
A prima facia case of right, clear of
reasonable doubt, ought always to be
shown to justify an injunction before
a full and deliberate investigation is
had. Does it appear beyond reason
able doubt that the plaintiff located its
railroad on the route now in dispute
before the defendant located its road?
The claim that it did is denied in
tlie affidavits presented by defendant.
The affidavits of plaintiff' allege such
location us carlv as 1872, made by
'The Wilcox and Howard Hill Im
provement Company." The affida
vit .!' lU-t'cmliifllB Utrujr MJCli lOOltllUJI,
and E. E. Willard, under whose su
pervision the surveys for the last
named company (or Thos. L. Kane,
its president.) seem to have been made
in 1871 Siud 1872, by his affidavit
denies any survey or location theu
made on the north and west side of
the Clarion river between Jolinson
burg aud Ridgway.
With these, contradictory atlldavits
before lis, we are not able to say that
there is no reasonable doubt that
plaiutilfs road was located upon the
route in dispute in 1872. On the con
trary, we must suy we ure left In
doubt upon that point.
It appears by the atlldavits presented
by plaintiff that in the fall of 1878 one
O. W. Barnes, an engineer in the em
ploy of the New York, Lake Erie and
Western railroad, or its president,
commenced the survey of a route for
a railroad from Alton, in M'Kean
county, to or near Falls creek, on the
Allegheny Valley railroad, hy the
way of Jolinsonburg und Ridgway;
that the line of the road between
Jolinsonburg and Ridgway was fixed,
marked and determined by stakes
driven in the ground in a solid man
ner, and properly marked and num
bered; that the location thus made
between Jolinsonburg and Ridgway
is in almost all respects identical with
that adopted by the plaintiff; that in
making that survey the said Barnes
was aided and guided by maps, Held
notes and other data furnished by the
Wilcox and Howard Hill Improve
ment Company; that the said line be
tween Jolinsonburg und Ridgway was
fully completed and located, prepara
tory to the building of a railroad
thereon, In the month of October. A.
D. 1880; that the Wilcox and Howard
Hill Improvement Company pur
chased from the New York, Lake
Erie and Western railroad the sur
veys, maps, explorations Brul locations
thus made, and on the l3Ui May, 1881,
by formal action of the board of direc
tors, adopted the line thus located by
Barnes as the line of its own road. .
By what right th New York. Like
Erie and Western railroad made its
survey and location, for a railroad,
does not appear. Whether that com
pany had or had i not . authority to
locate and construct a railroad on the
disputed route, docs; not appear... If It
had no such authority, it may admit
of doubt whether, the Wilcox and
Howard Hill Improvement Company
could, by more resolution of its board
of directors, adopf jt.tio location and
line thus located,, fa, iis' to give it
priority to a location niaclc, after Bilcli
resolution, by another 'company mak
ing an actual survey (ff the same line,
and indicating such survey by proper
muuumentson the ground. Wliotlier
the relations of the Wilcox and How
ard Hill Improvement Company to
the New ork, i Luke . Erie and
western railroad company were such
that the survey und location by the
loiter company would enure to the
benefit of the former (now plainti!!"),
depends upon the existence or non
existence of facts In regard to which
we are at present but imperfectly in
formed Fearing that the granting of the
preliminary injunction might work
greater wrong thai the denial of it,
and without intimating my opinion
on the merits of the case, we merely
decide that the eas. as it appears on
the bill nod nflidavits and counter
atlldavits, does not, in our judgment,
present such a clear case of right as to
justify us in awarding such prelimi
nary injunction, and. is therefore .re
fused. Wm. D, Biiown, P. J.

Without intimating any opiuion on
the merits of the controversy between
the parties, and being in doubt from
the affidavits' and counter-affidavits
whether tho plaintilfor defendant was
first in adopting the route in dispute,
we merely decide (u!ul for the masons
more fully stated in the opinion this

Row Arthur was Nominated.
The Philadelphia Press has this to
say about the way Arthur became
Vice-President:,'
The story of General Arthur's nomi
nation and his own feeling about It is
one of singular interest. After that tu
multous and thrilling scene when the
Chicago Convention surged away
from both Uraut and Blaine and
named General Ciarficld as it standard
bearer, it adjourned till evening to
consider the question of Vice Presi
dent. All sides agreed that the cau
didate must come from New York
and that, as the President represented
the auti Grant' division', the Vice
President must be' chosen from the
Grant element. Three conspicious
names were canvassed Levi P. Mor
ton, now Minister to France, General
Stewart L. Woodford, and General
Chester A. Arthur,, ,.,V,hen the New
York delegation met tn pass-upon the
subject Mr. Morton and General Wood
ford withdrew and General Arfhur
was selected ns Us choice by a very
decided vote. But then those who
were In the iuner circle discovered
lhat a serious obstacle had been en
countered, and that - was the very
earnest and emphatic objection of the
proposed candidate himself.
He wanted to succeed Kernan in the
U. S. Senate, and hud. the support of
all the leading Republicans, making
his election nmost a. .certainty. The
result of the Presidential contest was
in doubt, and the Vice Presidency was
but a place of dignified retirement' for
four years, even if lie did get it.
Under such circumstances it is not
surprising that he shrank from the
proposed nomination, and for nearly
two hours he resisted the appeals
which were made to him. But there
was a very cariKt desire ou the part
of the friends of General Garfield,
rather than his own, that he should
go upon the ticket. 'They felt the
vital importance of carrying New
York, and realized that no man could
contribute so much to that result as
General Arthur, with his thorough
knowledge of the organization. Gov
enor Deunison, of Ohio, among others,
was very earnest in' his plea. The
duty of accepting was put to General
Arthur as a matter of patriotic obliga
tion ; and finally, against the protest
of Seuator Conkling even to the last,
ho reluctantly yielded his own wishes
and allowed the completion of the
ticket of Garfield aud Arthur. The
country knows how earnestly, after
accepting the trust, he threw himself
into the canvass, and how much he
did to carry not only New York but
other doubtful States. And now, by
a dark tragedy that no one deplores
more deeply than himself, though he
lost the Seuatorship he becomes Presi
dent. Choice sweet corn 15 cents per can

COLLECTING THE MOURNING DRAPER
IES IN NEW YORK CITY.
New York, October 4. The work
of collecting the draperies for the
Michigan sufferers began this morn
ing. Tho amount' collected up to a
late hour tills forenoon, as far as could
be learned, was rather behind what
was expected by the relief committee.
Ou many of the largo stores upon
Broadway, where the largest quantity
of the material was used, the merch
ants have not as yet removed tho em
blems of sorrow. A great number of
storkeepcrs have sent their draperies
to the depositories by their own wag
ons to save the collectors trouble, in
stead of writing for the wagons to be
sent around. The amount collected
tills morning tilled two double trucks.
It is the intention of the committee to
send at once to Michigan all that is
available for making up into gar
ments, while the remainder will be
sold at auction and the proceeds in.
money forwarded for tbe relief of the
peoplo who have been mado destitute
by the fires in Michigan. Mr. W. O.
Dewey, of No. 29 Chamber street, who
is the secretary of tlie committee ap
pointed by the New York relief com
mission to superintend the eollec
lion of the goods, said this morning
that the bulk of the goods would
probably boicceived to-morrow. Be
sides the material sent, the sale of
tlie mourning emblems will probably
reach $20,000.
