EFFECT OF II COMBINATION.
The effect of this railroad combination will

the Central's lines. having rendered his resig-
nation. and the same having been accepted

The Jurisdiction of Mr.. James L.. Taylor,
general passenger agent, ls extended over the
Centrals lines.
The Georgia Pacific Railway Company. hay-
ing leased its own lines to the Richmond and
Danville, and no longer having a operating
organization, made a special arrangement
with the Richmond and Danville Railroad
Company to operate the lines of railway and
steamships acquired from the Central for its
account.
Tn effect Of this arrangement, it Is believed,
will greatly strengthen all classes of Georgia
Pacific securities. 1t is probable that no more
has ever been made in the South than the one
Just effected.
