MORE CENTRAL CHANGES.

Capt haskell Probably TO Go to Biz
mingham and Supt. Noise to Resign.
Several other changes will soon take place
among the officials Of the Central railroad.
Capt J. c. Haskell, assistant purchasing
agent, will in few days resign his present
position to accept the position OK joint
agent of the Richmond and Danville and
Savannah and Western railroads at Bir-
miugham, Ala.
1t is the intention Of the management Of
the Richmond and Danville to dispense with
the office Of purchasing agent at Savannah
and purchases will hereafter be made
through General Purchasing Agent Mine
tree OF the Richmond and Danville at Wash
ington. A head clerk will be stationed in
the purchasing agents office in Savannah,
who will attend to the business Of the pur-
chasing agent of the Central railroad at this
end Of the line. The acquisitions for sup
plies for the Central railroad and their dis
tribution, will pass through the hands Of the
head clerk or such other official as may be
appointed to the place.
The change is regarded as an sdven-
tageous one for Capt. Haskell, as the posi-
ton Of joint agent Of the two roads at Bir-
mingham is one of the best Of the agencies
at the disposal Of the system. Capt. Haskell
is popular in Savannah, and his friends here
VIII regret his removal from the CITY,
though they are glad that he has Jared
better than some of the other officials of the
Central railroad who were with the old
management.
1t is also pretty generally understood that
the jurisdiction of Supt. II. r. Dill of the
main stem will be extended over the Sa-
vanpah and Atlantic division and also the
Savannah terminals.

vas recently appointed Savannah freight
agent by General Manager Gabbett, is TO 90
back to the position Of yardmaster, which
ne held before his appointment as freight
agent.
Mr.. Wilkinson's appointment as freight
agent was generally regarded as only
temporary. He is said to have done good
work In making some much needed changes
in the working of both the yards and the
freight offices.
