The Gazette has the largest cir— culation of any paper in Norwalk. and’furnlshes the lowest advertisinz rates- That injunction. The injunction placed upon the Tram- way Company last evening by the Horse Railroad Company will be interesting reading. ‘ From the complaint it. would appear that the Horse-Railroad owns the streets of Norwalk, and the citizens of the town, not to meetion the State of Connecticut, have no rights which said Horse-Railroad are bound to res- pect. Two important points. however, will be discovered in their petition that will gladden the hearts of the stock? holders, ayd that is the statement of the attorney of the road, that the Nor- - walk Horse-Railroad owns the Winni- pauk road, and that the Co. will be de- prived of great profits and gains. This latter statement should warm the hearts of the stockholders, who have labored for years to find out where those profits 'and gains come in, and now that they are acknowledged, the aforesaid stock- holders will, no doubt, take legal steps to find to whom those great profits and- gains were paid. , That the Tramway Co. is digging up the Horse-Railroad tracks and stopping their travel, as stated by the petition, is untrue, and we opine that within a few hours the Tramway Co. will resume operations amidst the plaudits of every workingman, and those having the growth and‘business prosperity of old, Norwalk at heart. _..___.—.4 . .. The New York. The‘trial trip of the New York has resulted in her developing speed of twenty-one knots and a fraction over— perhaps as much as twenty-one and a half knots on the final figures. All the conditions were most favorable, but when it is recollected that her engines were to be of only 17,000 horse-power, while the Blake and the Blenheim, the cruisers with which she is most fre- quently compared, were built to steam twenty knots on 20,000 horse-power, and practically failed, the excellence of the achievement is manifest. ‘ Of course the New York will not always be steaming 21 knots, and in truth the best test of a warship’s speed and endurance is afforded by her per- formances in all weathers. Here we are fortunately enabled to rest satis- fied that the New York is not merely a fair weather boat, for she has shown that she can steam almost as fast in a dirty sea with her furnaces burning crap coal as;when she is on a sprint over a mill pond course in catboat weather under forced draught. And she can fight her guns in a sea way, which is what all cruisers cannot do by any means; and in that respect her high freeboard is a great advantage. Take her all in all she is one of the finest . achievements of modern ship building. The Country Editor. This is the season that one would rather be a country editor than saw wood. It is at this season that Old Subscriber brings in the tempting wads of butter and garlands of new-laid eggs. It is at this season that the ice cream man waltzes himself into the office: and cools the local editor’s throat with a tempting brick of cream, while Veritas pushes himself into the editorial sanctum and lays numerous vegetables upon the quill-pusher’s desk. It is at this season that the. country subscriber lays radishes, asparagus, lettuce and such things at the'editorial door, announcing, in a voice that is bow-legged with emotion, that they are ‘to apply on subscription. It is at this season that the country editor can find plenty of things to write about ; there are always drownings, and deaths from cucumbers and new potatoes, and visi- tations of hog cholera, and the gay and festive Italians putting down the Tram- way tracks. Meanwhile the worker on the metropolitan paper sits and grinds . all day, with no one to love him and none to caress. No Grumman’s“ Old Time root beer, no Ells’ pics, no spring peas, no spring oniOns, no gaudy caulié flowers, no fragrant squashes Come to him from appreciative readers. When he thinks that a tributeito his phenome- nal ability is in order he has to go to the market and buy it and present it to ,himself. ‘ . Eloped.

It is seldom in these days when plays are written for special occasions and special people, that one has the privi- lege of seeing a really good-play, well mounted and well equipped in the way of scenic effects. Such an opportunity will occur, however, this evening when the Old Homestead will be seen at the Opera House. This is the most finish- ed of the dramatic productions of the decade. The most careful attention has been given by the author to the most minute detail of stage craft, and on a former visit the good work of the playwright was ably sustained by the ladies and gentlemen of the cast. 01d theatre goers accustomed to the ordi- narv excellence of plays which _come highly recommended by the critics of larger cities were pleasantly surprised when the “Old Homestead” first came to N orwalk. Wanted the Light Put Out. While the Tramway company were putting down their tracks on Wall street, Wednesday night, Samuel L. Weed, for some unexplained reason, requested Superintendent ,Yeaton of the Norwalk and South. Norwalk Elec- tric Light Co., to extinguish the arc light in front of the Opera House, by the light of which the men were work- ing. Mr. Yeaton refused to do so, stat. ing that as the current was on he did not desire to monkey with it. Mr. Weed next applied to. Warden Sloan for an. order to have it extinguished. but as the Warden had no authority in the premises the light was kept burn- ing. All 'attenipts having failed to quench the lamp Mr. Weed served the following notice on Superintendent Yeaton: ‘ NORWALK & SO. NORWALK ELECTRIC LIGHT 00.: . You are hereby notified to remove all wires and cables from the roofs and trees on all property belonging to Sophia A. Weed, also the estate of Ed~ ward P.

Mr. Yeaton also stated that if they were required to remove the wires from the trees in front of Mrs. Weed’s residence they would at once erect poles, as they have abright to do, and attach their wine to 0m.

Late Wedne'sdayafternoon Attorneys Hurlbutt and Warner went to Bridge- port and secured ,‘from Judge F. B. Hall . an injunction, restraining the Tramway Company from continuing their tracks through Wall street. Prior to the arrival ‘of tits injunction, Wall street was fairly alive with Italians putting down the'Tramway tracks and both sides of the st set were lined with spectators watchin the work. When the first nail was iven_a cheer went up from the crowdfiihowmg their sym- pathies were anti); 1y with the new road. .When the news of an injunction having been granted was noised abOut, the streets became "_acked with people. and when AttorIShys Hurlbutt and Warner arrived at 0:45 p. m. fully one thousand persons were on the street.

' The following is the ihjunction : To-thesherifl' of. the County of Fair- field~-,—vhis Deputy, or either of the Con- stables Of the town of Norwalk, in said : County, . Greeting : -' ‘By authority of the state of Connec- ticut you are hereby commanded to summon the Norwalk ' Tramway Com- pany, a corporation under the laws of this state,located and doing business in said N orwalk, to appear before the Su- perior Court for the County of Fair.- field, on the first Tuesday of June 1893, then and there to answer unto the Nor- walk Horse Railroad cO pany, a cor- poration under the laws 0 this state lo- cated, and doing business in said Nor- walk,in a civil action wherein the plain- tiff declares and says : ' On the 28th day of. June 1862 the plaintiff, by an act of incorporation, approved on said day, was duly incor- porated, by the State of Connecticut with power to construct a horse rail- road in said town of N orwalk, between its present depot on the highway known as W all street, on deed along said Wall and West avenue to the depot of the New York and New Haven Railroad company, in South Norwalk, and to construct and lay down, such turn-outs, switches, and connections as might be convenient and necessary and to main- tain and use said railroad, and carry persons and property, by animal power, thereon, for a compensation not to ex- ceed the sum of five cents for each trip or passage ; subject only to the condi- tion that said turn-outs, or switches should be so located as not materially to impair the usefulness of_ said high- way ; that the said railroad should be located, graded, and constructed under the orders and direction of the select- men of said town ; that the plaintiff should make good all damages to any highway over which said road should pass, and said highway be left on the completion of said road in as good con- dition as when it was located thereon, and that the plaintiff should thereafter keep that portion of said street over which its road should be laid down, with a space of five feet on each side of its track, or way, in good and sufficient repair. ' After the plaintiff was so incorpora— ted, and during the same year, it ac- cepted said. act of incorporation, con- structed said railroad . between the points, and upon the highway afore- said, under the direction of said select- men, and upon the location and grade established by them, and fully per- formed, all the requirements of said act of incorporation, and_of thefilaws of this state; and expended in the work done under the power and and authority so given it, the sum of $50,000, and more. Since the construction by the plain- tiff of said railroad as aforesaid, it has equipped the said read at great cost and expense, to enable it to perform all the du ties imposed upon it- by the terms of the said grant of this state, to wit ; and has at alltimes fully discharged all its du- ties to the public and .to all persons; and is now able and Willing to perform all its said duties ; and to carry on its said road, to and from all points there- on, all persons applying to it, to be so carried, and to transport all property offered to it to be carried thereon. After said first act of incorporation, _and on the 30th day of July 1872, the State of Connecticut, by an act of its General Assembly, approved on said last named date, amended the charter of the plaintiff, and by such amend- ment gave the plaintiff authority to ex- tend its said horse railroad from said Wall street through Main street and the Wilton road, to Wmnipauk, upon the then existing grades of said streets except where the same should be changed by the consent of the Court of Burgesses of the Borough of N orwalk in said Borough ; and of the Selectmen of the Town of Norwalk, without the limits of said Borough ; and bound and obligated the plaintiff to keep in good and sufficient repairall that part of the highway over which said railroad should be laid, together With a. space two feet in Width on each side of its track ; and to make good all damage to any highway in which said railroad should be located; and to leave all such highways, on the completion of said railroad in as good condition as the same were when sald road was laid, thereon. . The plaintiff afterwards accepted said amendment of its charter, and have since built and equipped said read, and expended therefor the sum of $30,000 and more, and Complied with all the re- quirements of said act, and are, and since the completion of said road,has been using said road and equipments for the purposes contemplated by said act, and by such use, has fully accom- modated the public travel on said road. ~ All the aforesaid expenditures of the plaintiff in the building of said horse railroad and in equipping and main- taining the same, have been made be- cause Of said grants to it, by this State ; and the‘right to have and enjoy the priv11eges thereby granted, without molestation by, or interference of, any person or corporation therewith, and especially without the interference hereinafter complained of. Ever smce said act of incorporation and said amendment thereof, the plain- has had, and now has, by virtue of said grants of power, and privilege, and the acceptance of the same, and the expenditures aforesaid, and the full compliance on its part withall the re- quirements of said act of incorpora- tion, and said amendment, the exclu- sive power and authority to have, keep, maintain, and use a railway for trans- porting persons and property, over and upon said streets and between the paints aforesaid,.and said right is the property of the plaintiff, created by said grant of this State, and, is of great value. The defendants, by their officers, employers, and agents have without law or right, and contrary to the. will of the plaintiff, and against its positive orders, entered upon the said railroad and tracks of the plaintiff, and dug up said road to the depth of two feet, and so as to make it impossible for the plaintiff to drive its horses over the same, and have prevented the plain- tifi' from using its said rpadas by its act of incorporation it is required to use it, and have laid down a railroad track upon the location track and road of the plaintiff; and threaten to con- tinue to dig up the said railroad of the plaintiff; and to continue to hinder and obstruct the plaintiff in the use of its said horse railroad, and to lay down and construct their said railroad upon the location, track and road of the. plaintiff and to run cars upon their said road by electricity, over and upon the said location, track, and road of the plaintiff, and to take and carry passengers and property from, over, and upon said Wall street, and from over and upon the streets and high- ways on and upon which the plaintiff has the exclusive right to take and carry passengers and property by means Of a railway, and upon which it long has been, and now is rightfully carry- ing passengers and property. The defendant claims the right to do all the acts and things complained of- herein without making any compensa- tion to the plaintiff for the injuries it has. and will sustain by the digging up of its said railroad, and depriving the plaintiff of its use of said railroad, and Without in any way compensating the plaintiff for the use by them, of the plaintiff’s road which it has graded, constructed, and paved, at great cost and expense; and Without compensa- tion for the injury to, and destruction of 1ts_said franchise. and property, and its said right to transport and carry passengers and property over and upon said several streets and highways, and without in any way relieving the plain- tiff of its obligation to keep in repair the highway over which its said horse railroad is located, and without in any way relieving ihe plaintiff of any of the Obligations it is under to the pub- lic, by its acceptance of its said act of incorporation and the amendments thereto. And the plaintiff says that if the de- fendant is suffered to dig up the track and road of the plaintiff. and to Oper- ate and use said road for the carrying of persons and property thereon, with electricity as the motive power of its said road, as it threatens, and intends to do, the said railroad of the plaintiff, and its franchise, granted it by this State as aforesaid; will become of no value; and'the plaintiff will be depriv- ed Of great profits and gains, which otherwise they might and would right- fully have made in operating and using its said railroad ; and the obligation of said plaintiff to keep said highway in repair, and its liability for damages, to persons and property, will be greatly increased, and it will be unable to per- form its obligafion to keep said high- way in repair, and will be compelled to abandon the use of its said railroad, and will lose all the moneys expended as aforesaid, in the construction and equipment of said road. THE PLAINTIFF CLAIMS.
