IN THE COURTS.

the Alabama Great Southern railway has been renewed.
 Yesterday a bill was filed in the chancery court of Jefferson county by the Central Trust company against the Alabama Great Southern railroad, the Alabama Great Southern railroad, limited; Samuel Eel lon, Henry A. Taylor, John H. Taylor, W. D. Woodford, Alfred Suly, Eugene Zimmerman and II F. Shoemaker.
 The Central Trust company IS trustee for the Cincinnaii extension ten dSG bonds to the amount of S6,C00, GOO. These bonds control the Alabama Great Southern railroad, and tue interest on them has de- faulted, the peitioners claim. After set ting out the facts and-showing tue con fec- tions of the parties concerned, prays for relief, as follows:
 1. That the stockholders of the Alatana Great Southern shall meet and elect di-' rectory, who shall hold until the time of the next annual stockholders' meeting.
 2. That the Alabama Great Southern, limited, sball be enjoined rom casting g it's vote upon stock in the Alabama company held in it's name for Henry A. Taylor, John H. Taylor, Woodford, Sully, Shoemaker and Zimmerman.
 8. That the Alabama company shall be eUjoined from recognizing, the directory of the Taylors and others, as above.
 4. That the Tayiurs and others shall be enjoined from exercising authority of al. rectors, etc.
 5. That the Alabama company shall be restrained from issuing prelerred stock or general mortgage bonds now in it's treas- ury. That it shall be prohibited from mak- iug contract or agreement with the Cin- cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad, or with persons or corporations acting Tor or identified with the same, until the sale, under decree of foreclosure, of the trust shares of the English company shall have been had.
 The fl ,ht between the Southern and the Cincinnatti, Hamilton and Dayton for the control of the Alabama Great Southern rail- way began when Mir. Greenougb, represen.- ing the Central Trust comp pany, obtained au injunction in the Uniied States court here restraining the stock represented by the Taylor directory from voting the same at the annual meeting. The injunction, on final hearing, was dissolved. Some time later bill was filed In tue city court of Birmingham seeking the same relief, but Judge Wilkinson, before whom it was argued decided adversely 10 the petitioners. The next step was a bill introduced in the legislature seeking certain relief. It passed both branches of the general assembly, but Governor Oates vetoed it and the two houses sustained the veto.
 The Taylor directory are interested in tue Cincin uali Hamilton and Dayton w nile the Central Trust company favor the Southern, and If they secure a favorable decree on their petition the Southern will probably succeed to the control of the Alabama Great Southern.
