Birmingham age-herald., 1894-11-09
IN THE COURTS.

A temporary injunction has been granted in the chancery division of the city court restraining the officers of the Alabama Great Southern Railroad company from recognizing as directors of said road Henry A. Taylor, John H. Taylor, Henry A. Shoemaker, Melancthan D. Woodford, Alfred Sully and Eugene Zimmerman. The bill was filed by John Greenough, Calvin 8. Brice and Samuel Thomas.
 Greenough, Brlce and Thomas are stock holders in the Southern Railway company, which company is trying to get control of the Alabama Great Southern. The respond ents, Taylor and others, own stock in the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, which also desires the control of the Alabama Great Southern.
 At a meeting of the stockholders of the the Alabama Great Southern, held in the company's office in this city in September, the Southern people wanted to elect the old board of directors, and the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton people desired a directory favorable to their company. MT. Greenough, in behalf of the Southern, States court and obtained an injunction restraining the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton from voting, on the ground, as al- legged in the bill, that they were not stock holders in the Alabama Great Southern and had no right to vote in a meeting of stockholders. The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton people were thus checked and returned home to await further develop ments.
 On the 3d day of October the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton stockholders met in Cincinnati and elected their directory, and the six gentlemen mentioned in the bill were put on the board. The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton controls the C1nciu- nati extension bonds, and these in turn control the Alabama Great Southern. The board elected by the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton are not friendly towards the Southern, and Messrs. Greenough, Brice and Thomas are naturally averse to the Alabama Great Southern coming under their control.
 The petitioners claimed to be legal di- rectors, elected to serve until October 8, 1895.
 The injunction granted by Judge Bruce of the United States court will be heard in Montgomery on the 3d of December.
