CARRIED TO THE COURTS.
THE FIGHT FOR THE CENTRAL
RAILROAD STOCK LIST.

Gen. Alexauder's Friends Petition for
Msndamus Against the President
and Directors of the Rosd-Why They
Want to See the stock Lists-An Open
Fight for the Presidency-The Case to
be Heard on Dec. IS.
A petition was fled in the Superior
Court late yesterday afternoon for a
mandamus against the Directors of the
Central Railroad and Banking Company.
The petition was signed byMsj. A. L. Hart
ridge, Capt. Henry Blum, Messrs. Z. M.
Green, Ii. V. Cumming, L. Porter, l.. f.
Gilmer and j. p. S. Houstoun. 1t prayed
that Capt. w. G. Raoul, j. Rauers, Capt
John NJ. Guerard, Capt. w. W. Gordon,
George Cornwell, G. j. Mills, William
Hunter, A. Minis, d. NJ. Conner, j. b.

aud John Dawson, Directors, and T. NJ.
Cunningham, Cashier, be commanded to
allow at once to the petitioners access to
all books in the possession OF the corpora
ton whrch show who are the stockholders
OF the company.
WANT TO SEE THE BOOKS.
The petitioners declared that they had
asked permission to see the books and
make lists of the stockholders therefrOm
and had been refused. The correspond
ence which was published in the MORN
ING NEWs in reference to the matter WAS
attached as exhibits. The petitioners
said that they own more than 900 shares
and have direct money interest in the
result of the election for board of direc-
tors, which Is 10 be held Jan. 3, 1881.
They desire to secure competent
board, they added, and for months past
have been counseling and comforting with
other stockholders tor the purpose OF get
ting as many votes as they can TOR the
best possible board. 1t is important and
necessary for the completion Of that object
that the petitioners should know who are
the stockholders in the corporation.
THE STOCKHOLDERS LISTS.
For many years past. says the petition,
1t has been the custom OF the company
TO publish list of the stockholders, but
during the past several years, since the
accession to power OF the present board
OF directors, they have not published the
list. To the best of the petitioners knowl-
edge the present board is seeking re-elec-
ton, while they deprive the petitioners OF
an equal right to inspect the books.
There is well defined, distinct dispute,
the petitioners continue, some stock
holders supporting the present board and
it's policy in managing the corporation,
and some, including the petitioners, who
are opposed to the board and believe in a
different policy as for the best interests OF
the corporation and stock holders.
THE COURT TO DECIDE.
They clam that thev have common
right as stockholders to inspect the books,
and they asked the inteTposition of the
court.
Judge Adams, alter hearing the petit
ton, which was filed by Messrs. Garrard
81 Meldrim, granted an order directing
the alternative writ TO issue returnable

ELECTRIC LIGHTS ON SHIP.

The Incandescent System on the
New York Steamers.
The steamship Tallahassee which is
now IN port will hereafter be lighted by
electricity from stem to stern. The work
of putting in the wires and attaching the
lamps has been going on Tor several
weeks in port and at sea. and last
night the old-fashioDed oil lamp, which a
very short while since was thought to be
a sthing OF beauty and a joy forever"
gave way for the bright, clear electric
light. The dining cabins, saloon, state
rooms and kitchens were all as bright, if
not brighter, than sunlight could have
made them. The lighting plant is di-
vided into currents, so that the light can
be turned of or on in the cabins or other
parts of the ship.
Similar improvements were going on in
the other ships Of the Ocean Steamship
Company, and before another month it Is
probable that the entire fleet OF magnifi-
cent steamships, owned by the company,
will be lighted 10y incandescent lights anu
provided with electric call bells. These
Improvements will add greatly to the
comfort of the patrons Of the line and the
popularity OF the vessels, which are now
the favortes with all those VINO Ego down
to the sea in ships" for business or pleas
ure.
President Raoul and Gen. Sorrel, with
several ladies and gentlemen, visited the
Tallahassee last night TO examine the
new system, and all were delighted with
it. Capt. Fisher, of the Tallahassee, did
the hOnOTs OF the occasion, and eYinced q
lust pride in his ship.
