FIGHTING FOR A RAILROAD.
Latest Phase Of the Struggle Between Fac.
tIons Of 0. & II. Stockholders,

CINCINNATI. Oct. 1.-THE B. & .. party
of the 0. & NJ. stockholders called meet
ing this afternoon and held an election.
They first served notice on President Bar
nard, of the o. & NJ. railroad. requesting
him 10 appoint inspectors of elections,
which he did not do. They appointed in
spectors in due form and proceeded
with the election by voting shares.
One hundred and eighty-seven thousand
shares ont of total of 100000 were
voted unanimously for the following three
directors who were declared elected,
namely: Sterett McKim of Baltimore; ID.
Fahnestock, of Baltimore. and j. S. Walsh,
of st. Louis The meeting convened at 2
and adjourned at 2:3O
In Judge Hunts court. at 2 o'clock, the
Ohio & Mississippi railroad party, through
their attorneys. applied for an order to re-
strain the Baltimore party from voting
147,soO shares of their total III. 600 shares OF
stock. Oh the ground that the vot-
ing power of this portion of the
stock was not represented by proxies
from individual shareholders, as the law
requires This case was in hearing when
court adjourned. and it will be resumed
Monday.
plicatiOn was made in Judge Hunts court,
the Baltimore * Ohio party was repre-
septed by Attorney Colston to resist the
motion. However. q deputy sheriff was
dispatched to the meeting of stockholders
TO serve notice on them of an application
for an injunction. but he arrived five min
utes after the meeting had adjourned.
Now 1t Is claimed that the fact that the
attorney for the Baltimore party in court.
before the meeting of the stockholders
was over. was an admission on their part of
knowledge of the facts and that there
fore the stockholders meeting was in con-
tempt of conrt since formal notice to
them by the sheriff was unnecessary. Evil
IDENTIFY a big legal battle is at hand. No
one would be surprised to sec u contest in
the courts between sets of new directors
three against three. Then quo-war-
rantO proceedings are likely to
be resorted to. Another theory
is that obstructive tactics will be employ ed
long enough for individual proxies to ar
rive here from England in case Judge
Hunts court should decide adversely to
the Baltimore IL Ohio party. An appeal of
the case to higher court would gain the
desired time.
