"Gen. SOrrel is a good man 20 have on
the board, =" said an old railroad man. "He
is a good man anyway, and his connection
with the Ocean Steamship Company as
manager will enable him 70 properly repre-
sent the interests OF that most valuable
properly Of the Central"
GEN. ALEXANDER SATISFIED.
Gen. Alexander was seen after the cleo
ton and appeared we'll satisfied with the
result. and so expressed himself He said
be did not think the new men will be re-
gardsd as puppets who will deliver over the
road TO be wrecked a. the bidding OF the
Terminal people
at does not appear now that the Central
railroad is 20 be wrecked" said Gen. Alex
ander. He added that he does not antici-
pate any further differences between the
Central and Richmond and Danville, and
he does not think the Calhoun matter will
be stirred to any great extent
"Will the Central railroad directors con-
tinue to keep the securities of the road in
their posessionP he was asked.
They have taken that sta d already and
they are not likely to depart from it," Gen.
Alexander replied
All sorts Of rumors were in circulation
yesterday with regard to the retirement If
the Cnlhouns from the board. 1t was said
on pretty good authority that tue trouble
was that the Calhouns wanted to make too
much out OF the Richmond Terminal peo-
pie.
Last summer, it is said. John G. Calhoun
put in bill for S25, 900 for commissions for
Derfeoting a loan.
There was a kick on this, but the board
fually agreed TO pay it on condition that no
further claims Of the kind should be pre-
sented. Recently. Mr.. Calhoun, it Is said,
put in another bill for S95, 900 for commits
sions on loans secured for the Central and
Terminal. This was too much, and the Cali
houns were dropped.
Gen. Alexander and others in authority
In the Central railroad were seen in refer
ence to these reports about Mr.. Calhoun
but declined TO make any statement con-
corning them.
ut is personal matter between Mr.. Cal,
houn and the Terminal people" Gen. Alex
ander said, land do not care to make any
expression relating to the difference"
The belief Is strong that it was something
OF this kind that caused the trouble. 1t Is
freely predicted that there will be a good
deal Of mud singing yet.
THE NEW BOARD ORGANIZED.
The newly-elected board of directors met
at the presidents Office In the af ernooa
and organized by the election of Gen.
Alexander as president.
1t is believed here that Hon. Pope Barrow
will succe ID Pat Calhoun as general counsel
OF the road.
The intimation made recently that the
Richmond and DanvIlle had never assented
to the lease of the Central by the Georgia
Pacific is without foundation, the fact being
that the Richmond and DanYille and the
Richmond Terminal have each put up a
100000 bond to guarantee the carrying out
Of the contract and joan H. Inman signed
the bond.
