l'hilndelphia will by order of court be prevented from being completed until next september and perhaps not t:<en some weeks a^'o the pennsylvania l'ail road company sought to secure an in junction against the above company restraining them from operating be neath the railroad company's bridge at fort side inn the casu was fought at court and after several hearings in which the railroad claimed to own the abutting land in fee simple the court refused the injunction and ordered the bill in equity dismissed unless excep tions be filed within the time limit of 20 days the exceptions were riled whicli still kept the bill a legal restriction against the trolley company it was then that the trolley company sought to have the decree of the court moiliiied in such a manner as to allow them to lay their tracks and operate until the exceptions could be argued and decided several days ago the matter was argued in open court and on friday the court handed down a decision refusing to modify its decree and allowing it to stand this refusal means that the bill in equity against the trolley company will stand until the argument on the e'xcep tions is held which will not be until september should the case then be again decided against the railroad com pany they will likely take it to the supreme court and it may be many months before this gap is closed the trolley nn wednesday strung their 27-strand feed wire over the beading railway at tbe point where the borough of north wales is building the new steel bridge over which the trac tion company will continue its line to connect with the allentown end at main and shearer streets that borough on thursday morning the construction train with a large force of dagoes came up the railroad and they threw a heavy line over the cable pulled it down to near the train level when the boss of the same cut it with a few strokes of a big cutlass the traction company had a small force of italians also at work laying track to the bridge site on washington avenue as soon as tbe foreman of these saw what was going on befdispatched his small force aided by the bridge constructors and endeavored to drive the railroad employes away but the latter were too many for them and they accomplished their object the place where the small riot took place is inside the boroogh limits arid in line with pennsylvania avenue tbe borough officials will no doubt be called » tq.e^akajy#jjutktoiiiil1 ff the til hvuflflb the affair hsfcrsfted considerable unfavorable criticism against the rail way company as the bridge nor the cable interferes or is in any way detri mental to them north wales council will now in all probability be petition ed to stop the rivers from going through town at greater sjieed than the law al lows and also compel the company to put up the safety gates at the main and walnut streets death traps so long delayed by the railway company saturday and sunday a car was run from fort side iiin to lindenwold ave nue and
