Today the city solicitor had an In
junction served on the Erie and Wyo
ming Valley Railroad company to com
pel them to cease work of laying or
changing their railroad tracks In this
city. This is another chapter in the
"Cannon Ball" trolley fight. When the
latter company was refused right of
way through the city, It seems an
agreement was reached between the
trolley company and the Erie, whereby
the latter would endeavor to perform
the work of constructing the track for
the trolley company. This will not go
with the city officials, who are opposed
to the trolley company and have se
cured the aid of the courts.
