from Asheville says:
“At 10 o’clock this morning In the
Federal court there wu begun before
Judge Jeter C. Pritchard the hearing
of the restraining order uked for by
the Southern railway, the Atlantic
Cout Lin* and the Carolina and North
western railway, to prevent the corpo

The Central of Georgia Is capi

00000000000000(100000000000
New York, June 26.—The Central of
Georgia railroad hu been sold.
Th* purchuere, Oaklelgh Thorne and
Marsden J. Perry, are well-known
financial men. The price at which th*
road wu sold and the ultimate destina
tion ot the property, It Is Impossible to
learn at this time.
Edwin H. Jollne, chairman of the
Richmond terminal erorganlzatlon
committee, which hu held the bulk
of the Central of Georgia stock, made
the announcement today that he had
sold to Messrs. Thorne and Perry all
the capital stock of the Central of
Georgia held by that committee since
1301-05 upon the consummation ot the
Richmond terminal reorganisation and
after the reorganisation of the Georgia
Central Railway and Banking Com-
net proceeds ot tho sale are to
be paid over to the Southern Railway
Company, which, as stated In the tes
timony given In 1335 by President
Samuel Spencer, of the Southern rail
way, wu entitled to the financial bene
fit of any sale of the stock, though the
Southern did not usurps to control the
railroad.
Messrs. Thorns and Perry declare It
to be their purpose to operate and de
velop the Central of Georgia system a*
an independent system for the benefit
of Its stockholders and of the publlo
served by It, and accordingly they wllL
for at leut two years, continue to hold
at leut 60 per cent ot the capital stock.
They deollne at present to make any
further statement than this u to their
purposu. Mr. Jollne also Is reticent
about giving any further particulars
of the sale. He eald. however, that
the sale wu not In the Interest of the
Baltimore and Ohio,
The news that the Central hu been
sold to Oaklelgh Thorns and Marsden
J. Parry Is taken to mean In Atlan
ta, by those conversant with the rail
road situation, that Thomu F. Ryan
figures In the deal and will. In the fu
ture, have considerable weight In shap
ing the management and pollcg of the
Central. .. ^ .
Oaklelgh Thorne, besides being a big
financier and an officer of a big New
York trust company, ts one ot the vot
ing trustees of the Seaboard Holding
Company, and u such Is closely affili
ated with Ryan, who dominates tho
Seaboard road.
If It is true that Ryan wlU have con
trol of the Central, It la possible that
things will be framed up for the Sea
board to go through from Atlanta to
Savannah. But railroad man do not
think Morgan would allow the Central
to be eold for any such purpose.
Whether the Central of Georgia rail
road tu been owned or controlled by
the Southern railway Is a questlonthai
the courts bavo not yet settled. While
it Is not admitted nor proven that the
Southern own* or oontrols the Central,
It 1* thought by local railway authori
ties that th* sale cf the Cental I* a
move to circumvent the laws of Geor
gia, which prohibit the owning or con
trolling of a competing line.
