Several years ago, when the suit was insti tuted, there was but one body claiming to be the Alexandria and Washington Railroad Company; but at the time the suit concluded there were two .organizations, one with W. B. Shoemaker as president, and the other wtth Jams* 8. French a* president, each claiming to be the A lexanoria and Washington Railroad Company. There was, as may be remembered, some month# since, much litigation, iajanctlons by Jud^e Underwood and counter injunctions by Judge Hill, of the State Coart, and for a day or so the running or the road by the Shoemaker Company was interrupted. But the Shoemaker Company kept possession of the road, and with their energetic managers, Messrs. Stevens and Phelpe, have continued to run the trains. Judge chase yesterday folly sastained Judge I nderwood in recognizing the Shoemaker Com pany as the legal Alexandria and Washington Railroad Company. He sustained all the at tachment* for contempt issued by Judge Un derwood, but released the fine*, and finally made i*rpetual an injuction restraining any interference with the possession of the road, against the rights ot its present holders, the Alexandria ami Washington Railroad Company, or whicb W. S. Shoemaker is president. This put* an end to present litigation on this branch Of the subject?Ales.
