the directors of the Atlanta and West
Point railroad, held here to-day, the law
firm of Dorsey, Brewster & Howell was
made counsel for the company to succeed
Calhoun, King & Spalding, who have
held the position for years. Receiver
Conner, of the Central, is a director of the
Atlanta and West Point, and it is init
mated that the BUSTING of Pat Calhoun's

attacks on Receiver Conner in the Cen
tral railroad litigation. The removal of
General Manager Tyler and the election
of George Dole Wadley, recently general
superintendent of the Central, to that
position, was discussed, but Mr. Tyler was
finally reelected. The opposition to Cap
