The former management of the road have filed a bill in equity in the Alle gheny Courts to again obtain posses sion of it.. They claim that at no time while they controlled the road did the parties holding claims against it make a formal demand for the amount of their claims, which fact they claim is a good and sufficient reason for the setting aside of the forced sale of the road. Some time ago the management of the B. k O. R. R. endeavored to ob tain possession of the P. & W., but were asked $700,000 for it. They then had a line surveyed following the route of the P. & W. and crossing it nine times, and, it is said, intend build ing a standard guage road by this route, connecting their terminus at Pittsburgh with their road at Chicago junction, a point some distance west of Mansfield, Ohio, where the B. & 0., and P. F. W. & C. R. R's. cross each other. The argument upon the application by the Board of Inspectors of the Western Penitenti»iry for an injunction to restrain the Pittsburgh and Western Railroad Company from laying thei" track through the ground occupied by the Riverside Penitentiary was argued before Judge Stowe in Common Pleas No. 1, of Allegheny county, last Fri dav. The question will turn on the right of a rail road to occupy State property by power of eminent domain. In regard to the extension of the B. A, 0. R. R. via. the P. k W. route, a Pittsburgh gentleman who keeps him self well informed in rail road matters is reported to have said: "I have heard that little story, and from what I have learned, there is more in it than the Pittsburgh and Western people know at present. You will remember that the negotiations between the Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Chicago Company of which Mr. Schmertz ie President, and President Ganett of the Baltimore and Ohio, came to naught on account of the shilly-sball ing course pursued by the latter, in re fusing for one pretext or another, to close with Mr. Schmertz. The Balti more, Pittsburgh and Chicago people then made satisfactory arrangements with an eastern magnate for the com pletion of their road within twelve months from the passage of the mar ginal road ordinance by Councils, and the surprising quickness with which their negotiations were effected and closed, rather opened Mr. Garrett's eyes, and he saw that he bad made a faux pas. It had been his original intention to close with President Schmertz for his road, which would considerable shorten the distance be tween Baltimore and Chicago and was bound to be of the greatest benefit to the Baltimore and Ohio folks, but Mr. Garrett wanted to get all the benefits at the least possible cost. In other words, he wanted the Baltimore, Pitts burgh and Chicago people to take hold of the tail of the mule whilst he caress ed its ears, When he found that he was left out in the cold he conceived the plan of going along tb« line of the Pittsburgh and Western as far as pos sible and then makiog his way west to the connection of the Baltimore and Ohio. Jn order to accomplish this end be has interested several well known Pittsburgh capitalists in the pcheme, and from present indications it looks as though, with the surety of the Marginal road, we will have two new western outlets."
