IT a MOUNTS TO NOTHING.
President Conner on the Attachment
OF the Central's Property.

OF the C9ntral6 property.
The Central railroad directors will hold a
special meeting in Savannah to-day.
President Conner intimated last night that
the plan Of reorgsni zstion will be passed
upon, in which case it will be immediately
given to the public.
Mr.. Conner was asked last night about the
attachment secured from the supreme
court of New York by the Richmond aud
Danville Railroad company against the
Central railroads property in New York
for S1.2l3, 405 for money al
legged to have been advanced
by the Dsnville company to the
Central to discharge the accrued interest on
the bonds Of the latter road and in paying
other debts and obligations of the road
/ Mr.. Conner replied that the attachments OF
the Richmond and Danville would amount
to nothing. 1t is merely meant to prevent
the reorganization OF the Central and has
no other purpose.
Mr.. Conner said that the attachment will
be of no effect, as property in the hands of
the court cannot be attached. To use a
legal term the action will not lie. The
property OF the Central In New York, as
well as that in Georgia and elsewhere. Mr..
Conner said. has been placed in the hands OF
the receiver BY the United States court, and
being under the protection of the court Is
entirely out Of reach OF any such action.
Mr.. Conner was asked IL the Central did
not have some claims against the Richmond
and Danville for indebtedness contracted by
the latter road while in possession Of the
Central, but which were discharged by the
receiver after the property was placed In
his hands. He replied that the Central
did have bill against the Rich
mond and Danville for about $500. 900
for Indebtedness discharged by the Central
for which the Richmond and Danville was
liable. From this amount, however, must
be deducted the value OF material received
by the Central from the Richmond and
Danville at the time of the transfer Of the
property last March. This bill Of the Gem
trial against the Richmond and Danville in
cludes no charge for the depreciation Of the
property while in the hands Of the lessees
The general opinion OF those acquainted
with Central affairs is that tho move by the
Richmond and Danville is merely an at
tempt to injure the Central at
critical moment just ss the plan of
reorganization is about to be preached. The
opinion is that this is only the first gun of a
long and bitter battle between the two great
systems. both OF which are now in the
hands Of receivers.
Col. William Garrsrd, associate counsel
Of the Central, who has been absent for
several days in New York upon legal bust
ness of the Central, returned yesterday
morning. Col Garrard spent several hours
In conference With President Conner and
left again last night for New York.

Fred ferguson Wants Damages for
Being Put off Car.
The $4,000 damage suit of Fred J. Jergu-
son against the Savannah Street Rail way
Company for being elected from a Belt
Line car May IL last, for refusing to pay
double fare, was tried in the city court yes
terday. ferguson, according to the state
ment OF himself and witnesses, boarded a
Belt car with two ladies, but it stopped at
the Ty bee depot. The conductor promised
TO transfer him to the next car, and MIR.
ferguson took a walk around the street to
''stretch" himself.
When the car to which he was to be
transferred came along he boarded it with
the ladies, supposing the conductor of the
Tybee car had notified the other conductor
Of the transfer. After riding q short dis
lance, however, the second conduc or de-
manded fare of Mr.. ferguson. He refused
and told the conductor of the transfer ar
rangement
The latter refused to recognize this and
insisted on collecting another fare, and Mr..
ferguson again refused to pay. The con-
ductor then violently elected him from the
car, aud the ladies, becoming frightened,
left without being forced. For these indig
mites and humiliation Mr.. ferguson felt he
was justified III asking for S2.U00.
The companys defense was that Mr..
ferguson should have paid the extra fare
and then msde a claim at the office for its
return. The conductor of the second car
was not supposed to know anything about
the transfer arrangement except from the
conductor OF the Tybee car.
The jury retired at l O'clock but had
failed to agree at late hour last night.
The indications are favorable to mistrial.
