AFTER ITS "sRMLANNUAL."
The Southwestern Railroads Demand
Upon the Central.

The Southwestern Railroads Demand
Upon the Central.
Hon. A. o. Bacon OF Macon and Hon.
Frank II. Miller Of Augusta, who were In
Savannah representing the South western
railroad before the meeting Of tue Central
railroad directors, have returned home.
Maj. Bacon left for Macon night before last.
and Mr.. Miller remained in the city until
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Miller was asked about the position
Of the Southwestern stockholders toward
ths Central in the present crisis, and the
object Of the visit Of himself and
Maj. Bacon to Savannah. He replied thas
the object ot the appearance Of himself and
Maj. Bacon before the board of Central dI-
rectors was TO demand the payment OF the
semi-annual dividend of the South western,
which has been detaulted upon by the Cen
trial. They we're told that there was no
M jney in the treasury, and that the Cen
trail was not able to pay the dividend at
present They were given 10 understand,
however, that the dividend would be pro-
vIded for 10 the plan Of reorganization.
Mr.. Miller was asked what steps will be
taken by the stockholders of the South
western la consequence of the refusal or in
ability OF the Central to pay the dividend,
and If he thought there would be
any move toward separation from
the Central He replied that
the directors OF the Southwestern
would meet In Ma on Friday, at which
time the result OF the visit Of it's representa-
tives to Savannah will be reported.
MIR. Miller said he did not think that any
decided action would be taken by the board
until after the plan Of reorganization Of the
Central railroad 10 made public. He
thought, however, that they would insist
upon the payment Of the semi-annual divi-
dend.
Mr.. Miller did not think there was any
spirit Of antagonism 20 the Central, or de-
sire for q separation among the stockhold-
ers Of the Southwestern. Everything, he
said, would depend upon the terms offered
10 the South western stockholders by the
plan Of reorganization.
Mr.. Miller is also q director Of the
Augusta aud Savannah railroad, which
held its annual meeting yesterday. The
Augusta and Savannah was shown by the
accounts of the system to have
earned its operating expenses and
interest, besides q good surplus over. The
Southwestern earned its Operating expenses =,
but failed TO earn its dividend This, how
ever, was not the reason that the dividend
was not paid, the reason being simply that
the Cen rial did not have the money In the
treasury.
The Southwestern formerly traverssd a
very good territory, but since it has been
land and the Savannah, Ameri-
Gus and Montgomery railroad its
traffic has been considerably decreased. The
capital stock OF the road il $5,000,O00. The
road is also a surety upon the Central rail-
roads tripartite bonds, but there is no like
lihood or the South western ever being called
upon to pay any part Of this amount.
