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. doing its work well rln, Are Taken In Carrying Oof Contric* for Matloi Work. progress 1* being made by the contractors with the work upon the ap pro* fher to the Savannah Union Station, whl,>h i* to be bum on Wert Broad, be •we*n Stewart and Roberta atreeta.

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. Mr. J. M. Rarr, vice president and gen eral manager of the Seaboard Air Line, and the party that accompanied Mm on an inspection of the terminals yesterday, will leave this morning for Columbia. 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.

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.

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 chise and after getting s full expression “A Good Front” Although a slangy way of putting it, is a happy expression of the value of careful dressing.
