held by the Terminal company. There

NO CHANGE IN ORGANIZATION.
It was too late in the day to organize the
new board but it will convene at 10 o'clock
this morning in President Alexander's Office
and elect the Central's officers.
1t Is understood that there will be no
change in the present officers of the COM
pany except that Gen. Lawton, having for
warded from Vienna some weeks ago his
resignation as general counsel for the COM
pany, the board will elect Pat Calhoun to
fill the vacancy. Mr.. Calhoun will, as gen.
eral counsel Of the corporation, either have
his headquarters at Atlanta or New York.
Messrs. Lawton a. Cunningham Of this city
will continue to be- the chief solicitors aud
attorneys.
TO GO INTO OTHER DIRECTORIES.
Gen. Alexander said after the election
that it is possible that MeSsrs. Luttgen,
Wilder and Woods, who were dropped
from the Central directory, will be repre-
sented in some of the other boards of the
Terminal system. 1t is to be plainly in
ferred that tho Terminal company in giving
Georgia a greater representation in the
Central directory than it had when the sys-
tenn was controlled by the Georgia Company
did so to allay any apprehension that might
exist as to the unfriendliness Of the Termi-
nal company, and that it selected Capt.
Gordon is significant. 1t will be
interpreted TO mean that the com
pany expects to show through him that
the Central's affairs are more thoroughly
entrusted to the arrangements than it was
before the amalgamation.
ALL GEoRGIANs BUT ONE.
oh Of tb;rtoap aro
residents of Savannah, and twelve are resi-
dents of Georgia.
Gen. Alexander said last night that while
there is nothing new to be said of the en-
terpriseS which were interrupted some time
ago on the eve Of their inaugural, yet the
work is progressing favorably on the Buena
Vista and Columbus extension, and it is ex-
pected that the road will be completed by
Feb. /. He says that the contractors are at
work on the new steamship, the contract
having been let before the negotiations
were off
