The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1889-01-07
IT'S FOR INMAN TO SAY.
WHO WILL BE IN THE CENTRAL'5
NEW DIRECTORY.

The First Election for Directors Since
the Central Passed into the Termi-
nal's Hands to be Held o-Day-The
Powers-that-Be Keeping the Make
up Of the New Board to Themselves
Stockholders Arriving in the City.
The question which will be naturally
asked this morning in railroad circles is
will there be any change in the board Of di-
rectorS Of the Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company Of Georgia at the election
to-day! Beyond the fact that the stock
holders will meet at the Central bank aud
vote between 10 o'clock this morning and
O'Clock this afternoon nothing can be Off
cially learned
A MORNING NEWS representative sought
to learn from President Alexander yester-
day If any changes in the present board
would result, but Gen. Alexander, who is
usually very free and frank III responding
to inquiries about the Central and its varied
interests, was reticent when asked as to the
probable result of the election. Whether
this reticence is significant OF change in
the directory is purely conjeccuraL.
THE FIRST SINCE THE NEW CONTROL.
The election to-day will be the first since
the stock of the Georgia Company has passed
into the hands of the Terminal company.
1t has been thought all along by those near
est the powers that be that the president Of
the Terminal company is in accord with the
prese mt management of the Central, and
Mr.. lnmans expressions IN private, and his
speeches and published interviews while on
his recent visit to Georgia were in the ma
ture of Endorsements Of the enterprises
which President Alexander has sought to
advance, such as the Eden extension, the
increase of the Ocean steamship feet, etc
That these enterprises have Jagged has not
been because of any conflict OF opinion be-
tween the Terminal company and Gen.
Alexander and his directory SO far as is
known.
THE TICKET UNKNOWN.
Whether Gen. Alexander will be allowed
to retain his present board IL he wants it,
aud whether or not he wants it as at present
constituted, are questions that the public
can learn only after the result Of to-day
election is given out. The Terminal Com
pany may GUST it or retain it as it may
elect.
II was learned yesterday that at least two
Of tho eastern stockholders will be present
at the meeting to-day, one of whom is
Judge w. S. Chisholm, a director in the
Richmond Terminal, and who is also a di-
Company, having been elected about two
months ago to the vacancy Occasioned by
the death Of Mr.. A. E. Mills Judge CHS
holm will perhaps vote the block OF stock
purchased from the Georgia Company, and
that being the controlling interest, viii Of
course shape the new directory. Mr.. Pat
Calhoun has been here since Saturday.
The present board of directors consists of
Gen. e. T. Alexander, president; and
Messrs. E. NJ. Green, Abraham Vetsburg,
J. J. Wilder, G. r. Woods and J. *. Gar
nett of this city, Patrick Calhoun, $. NJ.
Inman and Ii. T. Inman of Atlanta, c. II.
Pninizy of Augusta, and Messrs. John c.
Calhoun, w. S. Chisholm and Walther
Luttgen of New York.
STOCKHOLDERS IN THIS CITY.
There were quite number of stockhold-
ers of the Central in this CITY Yesterday af-
ternoon, and others came in last night over
the Central. Ferdinand Pbiniz of Athens,
Jacob Phiuizy of Augusta, j. W. Park of
Gainesville and quite a nu Der of stock
holders from Griffin, are in the city, among
whom are Douglas Boyd, John II. Drewry,
w. j. Kincaid and d. j. Bailey, Jr, and
there appeared to be a greater number Of
individual stockholders scattered among
the hotels than is usual on the eve of an
election.
There does not appear to be an impress
sion among the stockholders that any rad
ical change will be made in the directory,
and certainly not such an one as will
change the executive management of the
Central system, as it is very generally I'M
derstood that the management under Gen.
Alexander's presidency has been satsfac-
tory TO those who control the stock.
