President John M. Egan of the Central
Railroad returned yesterday morning
from Chattanooga and Rome, where he
had been to attend the meetings of the
Chattanooga and Durham and the Chat
tanooga, Rome and Southern Railroads.
He was seen yesterday about the acquisi
tion of those roads by the Central of
Georgia. Asked for the terms upon which
the purchase had been made, Mr. Egan
said:
“Four per cent, bond* were issued to
take up the present stocks of the Chatta
nooga, Rome and Southern and of the
Chattanooga and Durham Railroads. For
this, the issue of the 4 per cent, bonds
will amount to $1,840,000. Then there is
$343,000 worth of 4 per cent, bonds reserved
for the first mortgage bonds that are now
standing on the property. Ronds to the
amount of $217,000 to furnish equipment
■to the road are also provided for, which
makes a total of $2,400,000, all of which
if set forth in the terms of the mortgage.
(Messrs. Simon Berg & Cos. of New York,
the former owners of the property, are
to make the terms with the stockholders
end the holders of the bonds on the roads
prior to this late purchase.
• It is not yet known when the Central
Railroad will assume control, but it will
perhaos be on June 1. ’The information
given out about the injunction proceed
ings that, for a few hours, restrained
the sale of the property, was, in part, in
correct, The injunction was against the
owners of the property selling, not against
the Central of Georgia. The Central was
not in any way interested in the injunc
tion.
"After the Central assumes control. It
will endeavor to Improve the present
physical condition of the property and
manage It with a view of serving Its pa
trons in the best possible manner. The
Durham coal mines will be a valuable
feeder to the line, as the coal is of a very
superior quality for steam purposes and
for blacksmiths.
•There is no extension to the property
contemplated at the present time, but it
ts hoped that the Central will be able to
develop several mining interests along tha
line. Valuable deposits of iron ore are
said to exist at certain points, and on the
upper portion of the line there are good
limestone quarries operated. On the same
portion of the line, along the
mountain sides, peach orchards
are being planted, and producers are now
marketing large quantities of luscious
strawberries. I saw a grower of straw
berries at Chlekamauga who Iras been
very successful. He showed me a quart
basket that was filled with berries, and,
when we counted them, there were only
eleven In the box. That was a pretty
good showing, wasn’t It? The grower had
obtained forty crates from an acre of land
planted in strawberries, and he sold them
at $2.50 a crate:
"We anticipate no change In the present
traffic arrangements that exist between
the Central and other lines and the Chat
tanooga. Rome and Southern and other
lines, as a result of the acquisition of the
property by the Central. The continuous
mileage rates will become effective after
the Central assumes charge, which will
make quite a reduction In the present
rates for freight and passengers.
"At all points where our party stopped
the people seemed well pleased with the
contemplated change. The present man
agement of the property Is very popular,
and has the confidence and respect of the
people. We expect to make no change
whatever among the executive officers of
the company. The auditing and treas
ury departments will, of course, be trans
ferred to Savannah, but President C. B.
Wilburn will remain In charge as super
intendent, end the section between Car
rollton and Griffin will be placed under
his control.’*
About 170 mllee will be added to the
mileage of the Central by the acquisition
of the property. The Central has been
building several branches of late, and the
total mileage will be 1.860, when the oper
ation of the Chattanooga, Rome and
Southern and the Chattanooga and Dur
ham is begun.
The Chattanooga, Rome and Southern
Railroad Company was a corporation
formed in 1897 In pursuance of the reor
ganization plan of the Chattanooga. Rome
end Columbus Railroad, which was sold
under foreclosure Jan. 13, 1897. The road
extends from Chattanooga to Carrolton,
138 miles, and has eight miles of
branches. The company also owned the
Chattanooga and Durham, seventeen
mile*, so its total mileage was 163.
The rolling stock consists of twelve loco
motives, eleven passenger cars and 329
freight cars. The prefererd stock of the
company was 11,600,000, and there was the
same amount of common stock. The fund
ed debt was $343,000 of first mortgage 6
per rent bonds on the Chattanooga. Rome
and Southern, due 1947 (January and
Job-), and $250,000 of first mortgage 6 per
cert, bonds on the Chattanooga and Dur
ham due 1917. The preferred stock was
6 pfr °ent. non-cumulative. The first
mortgage was for $500,000. In 1890 and
13(‘i the company paid dividends of 3 per
cent, on the preferred stock in annual
payments in January. Dast January 3
Per cent, was also paid on the preferred
stock.

guarding She public against that ever
*nt danger, a railroad crossing. To
tunnel under the highway, extensive
tracts of land had to be purchased on
either side In order to get a proper grade.
This has doubtless called for the expen
diture of considerable money for rights
of way. Where the tunnel is to pass un
der the roadway is only half a mile from
Forty-second street, so that the place is
not so far distant from the city as to
make lands cheap.
Pending the completion of the tunnel
under the roadway, a temporary wagon
road has been constructed to one side of
the Qgeechee road, so that there will be
no interruption of traffic. Much of the
work along the entire right-of-way that
the approaches are to rollow has been
done, so that it is apparent that there is
not likely to be any delay in the comple
tion of the contract by the time assigned,
Jan. 1. Indeed, it Is not likely that the
contractors will allow any delay if they
can possibly prevent it, as they are un
der bond of $30,000 to finish the work with
in the prescribed time.
A gentleman who has noted the pro
gress of the Union Station Company work,
in speaking of it yesterday, said: "Those
who have an idea that there is anything
the matter with Savannah or who have
doubts as to the city’s still forging ahead,
should make a trip, taking in the suburbs,
and see what is going on everywhere.
The Savannah Union Station Company's
work alone is enough for any city to
have on at one time, but there are hun
dreds of other enterprises being carried
out that one may see on such a trip.
These would make him feel that jhere Is
nothing the matter with Savannah.’’
The contract for the erection of the Sa
vannah Union Station, which is to be
used by the Plant System, the Seaboard
Air Line and’ the Southern Railway, has
been let to Mr. John F. McKenzie & Son
of Augusta, and it is Expected that the
work of grading the ground where the
building is to stand will be started this
week.
READY FOR SUMMER TRAVEL.
Sonthern Railway to Issue Directory
of Resorts.
Though the hot weather has hardly be
gun many Savannahians are already
considering the matter of where to spend
the summer, and numerous inquiries at
the railroad offices are the result. Mr.
James Freeman, city ticket and passen
ger agent of the Southern, stated yester
day that the outlook is that travel over
his line will be heavier this year than
during any previous season. The busi
ness has steaidly increased from year to
year, he said, but this will certainly be
the banner year—that is, if inquiries count
for anything.
Most of these Inquiries, he said, are
made by those that expect to go to North
Carolina resorts, particularly those of
the western part of the state, including
the Sapphire country.
“We have been expeotlng a heavy
travel,” said Mr. Freeman, “and conse
quently are prepared for It; we will not
only have a through train direct to Ashe
ville, but will make connections with all
of the branch lines along the road. In
addition we will receive, shortly for dis
tribution a handsome illustrated directory
of all the resorts in our territory, with
a complete list of hotels and boarding
houses, together with their rates. Such
a book has been issued each year by the
road, but this year it will be more com
plete and handsomer than ever before.

THE WILLI AM S-CUNEIL CASE.
The Frepeaitloa of Dr. O’Kell to
Compromise.
Editor Morning News: The interview
with Dr. O’Neil, published yesterday
morning, requires a word of explanation.
After the attachment had been sued out
against Dr. O’Neil and the garnishments
served, Col. A. R. Lawton, representing
Dr. O'Neil, called upon me, expressed a
wish to compromise the case, and In
quired if we were willing to give and
take in the matter, and I replied in the
affirmative.
Next, Mr. T. M. Cunningham, Jr., ap
proached me and offered to pay a cer
tain amount in cash In behalf of Dr.
O’Neil and also to comply with certain
other portions of the contract which Dr.
Williams alleged Dr. O’Neil had broken.
This being refused and a counter offer
having been made, Mr. Henry Cunning
ham called on me with an offer to pay
$125 in cash and to comply with the term#
of the contract by the delivery of certain
articles at Savannah.
As Dr. Williams Insisted that the
articles be delivered according to
contract at Richmond. and as
we could not agree upon the cash pay
ment, the settlement fell through. It will
be seen from the above that Dr. O’Neil’s
statement that he does not owe Dr. Wll-
Ilarae a cent will admit of some qualifi
cation, In as much as he has manifested,
through his attorneys, considerable anxi
ety to settle his indebtedness to Dr. Wil
liams and compromise the case.

CASINO’S AUSPICIOUS OPENING
Threatening Weather Did Not Keep
Crowds From Thunderbolt.
The handsome Casino of the Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Railway
Company was formally opened yesterday
afternoon end last night, with a concert
by the Casino orchestra. Despite the
threatening weather the opening was a
most auspicious one, and a large crowd
had gathered when General Manager Lu
cian il. Mclntire raised his hand as a
signal for the orchestra to play “The
Star Spangled Banner."
Many prominent people inspected the
Casino during the afternoon and evening,
and it is the Intention of the management
to cater to the better class of people. No
objectionable characters will be permitted
in the building or on the grounds, ond it
is proposed to make the place a family
resort.
Mr. Mclntire has been working hard tor
the last few days getting things in shape
for the opening and there was not a
bitch in the programme. The building was
well lighted at night, although the urc
lights have not yet been put in nositlon
on the grounds. A special switch board
will be used in illuminating the building
and grounds, and a wire will be run
directly from the power house—a distance
of some four miles.
Sacred concerts will be given this aft
ernoon and evening, and Mr. Mclntire
has made arrangements to handle large
crowds and to look after the comforts of
his patrons. The vaudeville company will
arrive to-morrow and the first perform
ance on the new stage will be given in
the evening. The curtain will go up at
8:30 o’clock, and after the performance the
spacious hall will be cleared for danc
ing. Performances will be given by the
Casino Company under the direction of
Manager L. W. Nelson, every afternoon
and evening.
The wide piazzas contain rocking chairs
enough to accommodate those who desire
to enjoy the salt breezes, and an excellent
view of the river is commanded. Ferns
are scattered throughout the building,
and evergreens have been planted on the
grounds. A tall fern is ip place on either
side of the wide stage. Ail of the scenery
has been painted, and is in shape, and
all that is now needed is the performers.
The artesian well sets in motion an old
fashioned and picturesque overshot wa
ter wheel, and in this way water is pump
ed into the building and in the pipes over
the grounds. No expense was spared in
making the place attractive and comforta
ble. Light lunches and soft drinks will
be served in the building and cigars and
tobacco can also he obtained. The rail
way company’s Casino has added to Sa
vannah, and to the beauty of her suburb—
Thunderbolt.

Editor Morning News; In your issue of
tha 16th Inal, where you refer to Council
refusing to grant a street franchise for an
other street railway you aay that "the in

say that such la not the rase, far as long
as I can move a pen or utter a word 1 will
never rest until the people of Savannah
thoroughly understand why Mayor Myers
used his official position to defeat this
great enterprise against the wishes of the
people.
Mr. Myers can easily explain why the
first report made by the Streets and Limes
Committee upon granting this franchise
was doctored or changed before it reached
the committee of tha whole. Mr. Myers
might be able to convince the people of
Savannah tha truth of hie statement,
when he said that he was not In anyway
connected with the street railways of this
city.
Mr, Myers may also be able to explain
why he spent the city’s money calling for
a full expression as to tha advisability
of granting to me such h vstuab.e fran
