GAFT. RAoUL ON THE GROUND.
Capt. kaoul, who is prominently men,
toned for receiver, is also there and is said
TO have had conference with Judge Speer,
but what is the purport Of the conference Is
not known. Capt. Raoul told a Telegraph
reporter, however, that heshad just dropped
down for a few hours in company with
Col. Wadley of Bolingbroke. His family is
visiting Col. Wadley, and he is on his way
10 New York from Mexico. he said. He
had just run by that way TOR two days
visit.
mo, it means nothing more than my
regular business" he stated, when asked
for an interview. II can truthfully say
that my visit to Macon this morning or to
this section has nothing to do directly or
Indirectly with the Central or Southwestern
roads"
But, captain. you know your name has
been mentioned i'll connection with the per-
manent receivership of the roadF the re-
porter said.
Yes, believe it mas, but that is about
all. In the first place am too largely
interested in Mexico to look elsewhere
now.n
PRESSED FOR AN ANSWER.
"Do you wan the jobl"
Il don't think there will be any necessity
for considering that matter at ALL" was the
reply.
Don't you think permanent receiver
will be appointedr
u am not able to surmise, being so little
acquainted with the new state OF affairs"
IF one is appointed wouldn't you like to
be the manan
II am afraid my railroad interests else
where wouldn't permit"
But couldn't they be arrangedp
~ don't know. just now"
but if they coudp
II really don's think IT is worth my while
considering the possibility Of securing the
place."
In other words. Capt. Raoul wasn't ex-
ectly prepared to talk.
Capt Raouls friends are talking. how.
ever, and they say he should he made re-
celver.
HEARING OF THE CASE.
There was considerable general specula.
ton among railroad men yesterday as 10
what will he the outcome of the case The
general opinion is that the question will not
be decided to-day and that the hearing will
take several days The belief is that the
Richmond and Danville will make a strong
lsgut against the breaking or the lease and
the appointment OF receiver, and also that
Judge Speer is almost certain to appoint a
receiver. Railroad mep themselves do not
seem to doubt that this will be the result.
Capt. Raours name was about the only one
mentioned for receiver. The news from
the United States court at Macon w4ll be
awaited very anxiously In Savannah to-day,
1t is stated that Judge Pardes will not be
at Macon, being detained in New Orleans.
1t is understood that he telegraphed to
Judge Speer that he could not be in Macon
before March "a 1t was suggested by some
yesterday that the case might not be heard
before the April term of the United States
circuit court, and it would then be heard in
this city. However, these are only spscu-
lations.
