The S. & A. Ry. Co. is again at war with the G.T.R., as the result of the refusal of the latter company to handle freight which would be afterwards carried to Schomberg by the S. & A. Ry. As is generally known, the only way to bring the freight for Schomberg to Bond's Lake, the beginning of the Schomberg line is by the G.T.R., and as the latter refuse to do this, we must still adhere to the old plan of having our freight teamed from Kleinburg, although a little is brought by rail at present. The promoter of the S. & A. line are making every effort to have the G.T.R. handle their freight and they have every prospect of being successful. Sir Wm. Mulock has the case in charge, and we understand he will lay the matter before the highest authorities in an effort to bring the G.T.R. to time. This is not the first time that company has stood in our way, as they first refused to allow our railroad to cross their line, and as a result passengers had to cross it on foot for a time. But they were compelled in that case, to be agreeable, just as we hope they may be compelled to be in the present case.
