The fol lowing from the Sandusky Itegirtcr interesting : The excitement in the railroad war waa revived yesterday orr rtb? an uooDceoieot that the SupreaJe Court the State, at Columbus, had ren dered its decision on tbe motion of the Boston management for a writ of error and that tbe decision was favor able to the arlow . party, - No one here baa as yet see the full text of the decision of the Supreme Court, but dispatches from Columbus announce that the Court holds that the order Jodge Flnefrock granting an in junction and appointing a Receiver, on the petition of Thomas M. Sloane, was vacated by Judges Cad well, Pren tiss and McMath at Toledo, and that tbe action of Judge Finefrock in dis regarding that decision and. subse quently expunging from the records the Sandusky Common Pleas Court tbe proceedings at Toledo, is void. After tbe Supreme Court had ren dered its decision, President Farlow made a formal demand upon Mx. Lea for possession of the property. The demand was made by Mr. Farlow on the order granted him some time since by Judge Welker; of tbe United States Court for tbe Northern District Ohio, and which order appointed Mr. Farlow Receiver. Mr. Lea re plied to tbe demand-that La oould not surrender tbe road on that order ; and subsequently aotica wae eerved on tbe Bloane party fcy the Boston4 manage ment that an application would be made before Justice Swayne, at To ledo, at ten o'clock this morning, for writ of assistance to eject tbe Sloane management. While the Farlow party are confi dent that they will regain possession tbe road in a day or two, the Sloane party are confident that they will not. The Sloane management claim that it will make no difference whether or not tbe Farlow party get writ Ail .juuiLstarjcA' from Justice Swayne. Inasmuch yube Supreme Court has sustained the action of tbe Toledo Judges, and those Judges granted tbe Sloane faction tbe right to appeal to tbe District Court, for which appeal the required bond has been given. Tbe proceedings at Toledo to day will be awaited by tbe public with interest, as there is promise of a live ly time in case , tbe Farlow manage ment obtain a writ of assistance.

EUROPEAN WAR RUMORS. Report for the Past Week. London, June 7. I learn rrorn a trustworthy military source that the British army is being quietly mobil ized. It is also arnrnied tbat the regular force now in .England bas been found, on investigation, to le in lamentably weak condition. .Near ly all of tbe regiments fail short of the number of men claimed for them, and the general physical healta is not equal to a riuorous campaign in a dis tant country. The newspapers are clamoring for war. Tbe Cabinet and Parliament are di vided, as in previous wars. It Is evi dent that Eug'and will come up at the last moment, and labor under pro portionate disadvantages. The Marquis of Salisbury is said to opposed to war, even in toe event Russia taking Constantinople. Russia's professions not to desire to advance beyond Erzeroum, In' Aia, and the Balkan Mountains, In Eu rope, are utterly disbelieved here, where tbe memory of Gortschakoff word or nomr preceding tbe annexa tion of Khiva is still fresh. Tbe Czar, accompanied by Prince Gortschakoff, Baron Jomini and Privy Counselor Hamburger, of the Foreign Office, arrived at PloiestI to night, and not last night, as previous ly reported. The Czar met with an enthusiastic reception. The Czar takes command or the army, chiefly because the Grand Duke Nicholas and bis chief of staff. Gen eral Nepckoitschitzky, frequently dis agree. After the Czar's arrival a state siege will be proclaimed at Buchar est and a Russian town commander appointed. In military circles at Vienna the opinion gains ground that the Rus sians will not croes the D-nube. They expect such decisive successes Asia tbat every condition of dura ble peace may be secured from tbeir effects. - - Private instructions from tbe Czar are to keep England out of tbe fight all hazards ; to go and make any promises, and if these are broken, tbe Russian Government will find an ex cuse. Beveral weeks must elapse be fore the ponderous machinery of the Euglish Governmeut will move to any. decisive effect. While Parlia ment Is engaged in discussion, the will have time to cross the Bal kans. At the last moment tbe Eng army corps now being mobilized will be ordered to occupy Constanti nople. Rewarding the movements of troops Nothing noteworthy is telecraphed by our correspondents at tbe front. In Asia the-contest Is virtually de cided In favor of the Russians, who have driven tbe Turks from one foot bold to a'nother, an-l the last battle will take place near Erzeroum, though the report tbat Kars is completely in vested Is denied. Tbe fulfilment of this event Is only a question of a few days. The Chicago Tribune correspondent telegraphs from Ibrail tbat tbe Turk ish garrison at Matchin la largely re inforced, but tbat tbe firing has ceas ed, probably on account of the scarci ty of ammunition, of whica the Turks are notoriously deficient. Tbe left wing of the Russian army will undoubtedly cross the river at a point just above Ibrail. Eleven pontoons bave been brought down and are ready for use. The Russian officers are bewailing the necessity of march ing through Dabradscha. which is now entirely depopulated and affords chance ror forage, tbe country be one succession ot sandhills and marshes. It ts intended to make rapid sweep across this section to Tcberoavoda on the Kostenje Rail way, and to. occupy the line, thus isolating all the Turkish fortresses on tbe rtrer below Tcbernavoda. A private telegram from Constanti nople bints the probable early recall Midnat Pasha, who Is now la Lon don, 'and tbe formation of another Ministry. Vienna, June 7.' A dispatch says Is stated that the bouses of oue hundred and fifty Jewish families were pillaged by a mob at Dowbani, in Roumanla, on Sunday. Eleven were killed, twenty-four wounded, and ninety thousand ducats stolen. The news is confirmed that the Cir cassians la Tbessaly pillaged the Monastery of Ragane and killed the monks. - Bucharest, June 7. Out of thirty three districts, Into which Roumania divided, twenty-eight bave been virtually placed under martial law. This was done because capital punish ment Is not recognized by civil law, and tbe frequent discovery of spies renders tbe measure necessary. Widdin, June 7. A dispatch of Thursday evening says the Russians continue tbe concentration' of pon toon trains. A great force of arUiery has arrived, and crossing of the river, is believed, wid be attempted im mediately. A Russian official message publish a decree ordering a , new levy of 218,000 men. Si great a levy is un precedented. A correspondent who draws bis in formation from official Montenegrin sources, telegraphs tbe following ac count of operations under date of Friday r "Tbe Turks moved In two columns, one going to the relief of Gorausko and tbe malu force under fjuleiman Pasha to Kristaz. The lat ter column attacked the Intrencn ments of --General Vukovias witb great gallantry, but were repulsed, be ing twice driven back on tbe reserves. Tbe third attack was also repulsed. Tbe Turks are taking np tbeir posi tion opposite Kristaa, where tbey still remained when the last courier left. In spite of this alleged third repulse of tbe Turks, the account proceeds to- state tbat Vukovias fell back on bis second line of Duga at 3 o'clock next morning, where be bas not been mo lested. .-; T It appears from this report, which certainly does not unduly - exaggerate the siicceM of tbs Turks, that if Gen eral Vukovias' positions ,wre not actually stormed, Ue is placed Id such pueltiou as to .be obliged to abandon tlit;u. . , .. : i The accouut continues : Tn Turk ish loss in dead iutbis engagement U about 3,000.

It is now no longer doubtful as to the Intentions of tbe C-ar to carry the war to sucb au extremity aa will give Russia au outlet by Hie Black Sea and a foothold on tbe shore of tbe Peisiau Uuif. But tbe ..English bave such an overwhelming self-pride tbat tbey are jinable to admit that any Power will have tbe audacity to throw down tbe glove to England, or actually make war against another Nation without tbe Britlsb sanction. Meanwhile Count Hcbouvalof is oscil lating between Berlin tit. Petersburg and London, bearing tioneyed messa ges to sootbe England until tbe Czar can cross tbe Bslkaos and be m bard Constantinople. This Is tbe exact situation. Vie.nna, June 8 DoUUs of the fighting on tne 4th iasUnt oear Kris stock aud Piva are at band. Both sides fought with great bravery dur ing the wool- day. The Turks not withstanding strenuous ellortH, - in which they lost tbre thousand men, failed to advance .nearer to Piva. Tbe Montes-egxin bave again in trenched tbemselves along tbe pass between Kri-took and Presjeka. Mukbtar Pba has abandoned the idea of defending the t eights in front Erzeroum, though be -intends to defends the town. This backward movement is caused by tbe advance of tbe Russian column frooa Olti, threatening eommanleatioo between Krzerjum aod Trebizond. ' To meet this danger, Mukbtar Pasha bas dis- oatcbed live battalions and some guns. The JferaUt eorrsponent at fiair gevo telegraphs that tbe attempted crowing at two places were' made with small bodies of troops, and were Intended only as a feint to deceive tb Turks and develop their defense of the Danube near Kuntcbuk.
