WILL CUT NO FIGURE.

The Consent of the $4,000 Shares Not
Necessary to heOrRsniz alton.
The announcement Of the particulars Of
the plan of reorganization which has been
agreed upon for the Central railroad il
awaited with great interest by the many
! interested parties. So far only the general
outlines have been announced. II is only
known that a general mortgage bond will
be Issued TO take no the present obligations
| OF the system and common and preferred
stocks to be exchanged for the present
stocks OF the various roads composing the
| system To do this it is evident that it
will be necessary to consolidate the
present system of several railroads each
with different stock into one general
system, all under the same name and having
stocks and bonds issued upon that system
only. At present the Central system con-
slsts OF one parent company as, it were
with about dozen other railroad lines some
large and some small. dependent uron it
and secured to it chiefly by guarantees upon
their stock.
As the guarantee of the Central 1, now
worth nothing, and as these dependent
lines could not secure a guarantee else
where equal in value to that which the
Central gave them, it will be to
their advantage to combine in
the general system. By SO doing
they secure the same rights
and advantages as the holders of
the original Central stock. At
present the Central presents the anamolous
condition OF "a ,50o, 200 Of stock, guarantee
ing over $50, 900 worth of securities.
With much larger stock and
a much smaller guarantee the Central
Will evidently be in a much safer condition
in every way.
President Conner was asked how the
42,O0O shares of stock held by the Terminal
would figure in the reorganization.
ust the same as any other stock" he
replied. 1.-THE AZ, 600 shares Of stock have
nothing whatever TO do with It. The reor-
ganlzation Is being carried on by the secu-
rlty holders ana not the stockholders, Being
an insolvent corporation the stockholders
nave no voice in the matter, and it is an
almost unheard OF thing that they are given
any consideration at ALL
The holders of the AZ, 900 shares" cou-
tinued MIR. Conner, will have the same
proposition made them as the other stock
holders. If they do not care to accept the
new stock in exchange they will be offered
cash for their stock at the market value.
There will be no trouble on that score"
With such plan of reorganization ,as
proposed by Mr.. Conner, the question of the
$4,000 shares will be eliminated from the
situation. With O largely increased stock
they will then be greatly in the minority,
and will no longer be menace to the future
of the road
Such state Of affairs as Eexisted before
she receivership, when a small party Of
SPECTATORS by borrowing from the banks
were able to secure control of enough Of the
stock of the Central proper to control the
whole 100000 900 worth of property will
then be impossible.
1t will take millions OF dollars Of actual
money invested to control the Central here
after, and in view OF recent experiences
with the courts spectators are likely to
fight shy.

BILLS IN THE HOUSE.
THOSE IN WHICH SAVANNAH Is
INTERESTED.

The Military Appropriation Contest.
TIE Thunderbolt Bill to Make a Law
abiding Place Out OF the Suburban
Resort-Other Matters Of General In
terest.
Representative Doolan was in the city
yesterday and returned to Atlanta last
night. He believes Gov. Northen will sign
the city registration bill. Alderman CharI-
ton and Mr.. O'Byrne put up strong argu-
ments against the law, but Mr..
Doolan thinks the fact of Ii having
been allowed to pass the Senate
and House without protest is too strong an
argument to be resisted by the governor
THE MILITARY FIGHT.
The fight for the military appropria-
tion," said Mr.. Doolan, was the hotties t
ever waged on the floor Of the House. The
majority Of the country members, led by
turn down the soldiers, and the fight mar
rowed down to city and country, with a
small minority Of the rurak legislators
following Tatum of Dade in support of
the cities. Tatum is the most level-headed
country member of the legislature. Judge
Hall OF Griffin, marshaled the city forces
and for three days there was a see-saw game
RAoJ C0 bcbWCch VIC AhCtlOuot HulCu uibllY
ended in partial victory for the troops
The Senate, however will amend the appro-
prietion and endeavor to increase it to at
least $4,000. The move will probably be
successful, as the time Of the House, which
amounts to only one week more, Is too
precious to be given up to another war on
the military question"
THE THUNDERBoLT BILL.
Mr.. Doolan was asked about his Thunder
bolt bill, which comes up for a third read
ing in the House to-day. The bilI.n he
which the MORNING NEWS complained
OF several days ago in regard to the govern
ment of the little suburb Ii enlarges the
power of the authorities and places the
town under control Of a mayor and board
OF aldermen. The bill also provided
for a ratification OF the grant of
right of way along the fluff to
the Savannah and Isle OF Hope
railway. Maj. Meldrim represented the
opposition to the measure on account Of the
railroad feature, and argued before the
committee that what was sought was the
ratification Of an invalid grant, but Capt
Purses argument, backed by the powerful
evidence Of the action Of the town commits
sioners of Warsaw in granting the right OF
way, convinced the committee on corpora
tons that the Savannah and Isle of Hope
road had been badly treated, and the vote
in favor of my bill was Overwhelming,
only one member Directing.
''Since then Attorney General Terrell de-
oided the enabling clause Of the bill un-
necessary in view OF the fact that the
charter of the road calls for the right of
way on the bluff, and the specific ratihca-
ton of the Savannah and Isle Of Hope
grant has been stricken out. The bill will
pass the House, but its opponents may at
tempt to defeat it in the Senate, which,
however, will fail. The measure is one
long needed by the conservative citizens Of
Thunderbol5 for their protection from
rowdylsm and disregard of law and order"

AGAINST THE SOUTH BOUND.
Particulars as to the Judgment OF
tanned at Columbia.

Particulars as to the Judgment OBJ
tanned at Columbia.
Mention has been made in the Geographic
columns of the MORNING NEWS of suits be-
fore the United States court in Columbia
against the Savannah Construction Com
pany, which built the South Bound rail-
road, and the awarding of 81 900 damages
to j. 8. Oliver, the original contractor for
the building OF the road. Supt. Wadley, of
the Central railroad, formerly general
manager or the South Bound, and who had
charge OF its construction, has been in CO.
lumbia in attendance upon the court, but
returned Saturday night and further par
ticulars of the suit were obtained.
Is appears that j. 8. oliver was the oriRiS
nal contractor to grade the road at $3.50
per mile. From the testimony it was de-
veloped that after constructing 101 miles of
road the contract was taken away from
him without notice and given to Moore &
Springs, who were to furnish the forty adj
ditional miles to Columbia. The terms Of
the contract were that seven DAYS notice
should be given of it's termination, which
notice IL was claimed, was not given.
Mr.. Oliver asked for 500 profits
on the last forty miles of
the road which he claims he would have
made had he been allowed to complete the
work. The jury gave him the amount
asked, $4,000.
The other suit was brought by Moore &
Springs, who built the last forty miles of
the road. The company claimed that 10
had made a contract with Moore & Springs
to complete the road at $3.50 per mile. The
latter contended that no written contract
had been made, but that the officials had
agreed to their working out the contract
and had also agreed to pay their force ac-
count and profits. They sued to recover
the n 4
cent. additional over and above what had
been paid them at the rate of $3.50 per mile,
aggregating $6,223. The jury rendered
them a verdict of $1,000

supt. Wedley WIN Give No Further
Audience TO the Operatives.
The situation as far as the Central rail-
rond operators is concerned remained un-
changed yesterday. The committee made
no attempt to see Mr.. Wadley, as it was
Sunday. The whole question ought to be
settled one way or the other to-day. Mr..
Wadley Is in the city, and his arrival has
been what the operators have been waiting
for. They were not talking quite so con-
ndent of the result yesterday as for the
past few days. although they seem to lay
great hopes in Mr.. Tobie's ability to bring
the matter to a satisfactory conclusion with
Supt. Wadley.
The committee wrote Mr. Wadley a note
requesting an interview and posted it Sat
urday. Up to last night no reply had been
received which some take as bad omen
and an indication that the interview would
not be granted.
One OF the operators who has been here
with the committee but who has not taken
very prominent part in the negotiations
when asked what would happen In
case Mr.. Wadley refused to see
them said: well, l guess we'll 20 home. n
buoh sentiment as that coming from one
OF the operators would indicate that there
is weakening on the part of the men. The
leaders, however, say that things are lust
the same as they have been for the past
$40 weeks, and that there must be some
sort of satisfaction given them.
Supt. Wadley was seen last night by a
MORNING NEWS reporter, but declined to
discuss the subject. 1t can be stated, how
ever. on positive information thar Supt.
Wadiey will not grant an audience Co Mr..
Iohie and the committee to-day or any
other time, and that so far as he Is con-
cerned the matter is at an end. IL is nm
derstood that Mr.. Wadley is supported in
MS position by President Conner. The men
are at liberty to strike if they wish.
