FAVORABLE TO CONFER.
That is What the Attorneys Think Of
the Atlanta Proceedings.

They Returned Last Night on the
! Nancy Hanks 49, Capt. Cunningham
! Talks About the Case-He is Graft
/ fed That All the Bills and Interven-
tions Are to Be Consolidated and
Heard in the Circuit Court Here.
The proceedings in the Central railroad
litigation were completed in Atlanta yes
terday about noon, giving the Savan-
nahians who were in attendance ample
time to catch the Nancy Hanks train
which leaves there at 80 o'clock p. m.
In the party which came down last
night were Receiver Conner, Messrs. A. r.
Lawton, Jr., Walter G.. Charlton, S. B.
Adams, B. A. Denmark, c. n. West, p.
A. Stovall, Capt. II. c. Cunningham and
Judge Harden. They have all been in at
tendance on the case since Thursday last.
The Nancy Hanks, on which they came
down last night, came in an hour and
half late, having been delayed by a hot
box on the engine between Tennille
and Savannah. The regular Nancy
Hanks engine had to be transferred to
freight train, and the freight engine
brought tha'blue streak in on rather
slow schedule.
CAPT. CUNNINGHAM TALKS.
Capt H. c. Cunningham was seen. last
night in regard to the litigation which
has been in progress in Atlanta during
the last three days. He was rather de-
lighted with the fact that the litigation
had been set for a hearing in Savannah.
Everything looks favorable to the
Central" said he, land in fact we were
very much gratified with the turn
that the case took. The most gratifying
and favorable part of the entire proceed
ings was that Justice Jackson showed
disposition to bring the entire litigation
to an end as soon as possible, and in fact
announced that such was his intention.
"The entire litigation has been consoli-
dated now, which will expedite matters
very much. The hearing to take place
here June % will include the Rowena
Clarke bill, under which it is yet to be
decided whether or not the Richmond
Terminal Company can legally hold its
majority stock of 1920 shares in
the Central; the caseof the Central Rail
road and Banking Company VS. the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company, the
Farmers Loan and Trust Company VS..
the Central Railroad and Banking Com
pany, and the numerous interventions of
the Richmond Terminal, Alexander
Brown ~ Sons, Simon Borg & Co. and
others. These cases and interventions
are all to be consolidated, and all will be
disposed of in one hearing
TO HURRY Up THE PROCEEDINGS.
"This expedition of the litigation viii
be an immense advantage to the Central,
if in no other way. But am inclined to
thing that the proceedings looked favora-
BILE TO the Central and for the administra-
ton of Receiver Conner in many other
ways. We were highly grati6ed with
every phase of the hearing The litigation
was ended so far as Atlanta is concerned.
Judge jackson left tonight for Washing
ton and will come to Savannah to wind up
the entire litigation on June &c"
This hearing in Atlanta has attracted
widespread attention from every portion
of the country and especially in this city.
The people here are vitality interested in
its outcome, perhaps more than anywhere
else For this reason they will welcome
the news that the litigation will be heard
and will be terminated in the United
States circuit court here. More welcome
than that is the announcement that the
proceedings were highly favorable to the
property and Receiver Corners admins
tration of it, The indications will
strengthen the hope that the effort to re-
move him will meet with failure
