LEASE OF THE GEORGIA ROAD.
The Central May Have Forfeited It's
COIIaternIs.

OOIhAteEMlAs
Augusta, Ca, Sept 1s.-It leaks out that
the business before the meeting of the di-
rectors of the Georgia railroad, held a
few days ago in the presidents office in
the Georgia Railroad Bank In this city,
rwas 10 discuss the movement on foot by
Thomas and Ryan, purchasers of the Port
Royal and Western Carolina railroad, and
the Port Royal and Augusta railway, 10
get the Centraps share Of the Georgia
railroad lease. The Central railroad and
the Louisville and Nashville road jointly
own the Georgia railroad lease. At least
they were the joint lesses, and each paid
half Of the annual rental. AT the last
payment, however, IL will be remembered
that the Central defaulted on its part,
and thedouisville and Nashville paid the
whole rental and claims as a consequence
TO own the entire lease. Thomas ana
Ryan, since the reorganization Of the Gen.
trail, are said TO have rendered the LOUIS
Vile and Nashville the amount OF tho
Centrals defauted payment, but II was
declined. II Is suggested that the Georgia
railroad directors are having their attor-
ney look into the question whether or NOT
the default of the Central does not IN
itself abrogate the lease and forfeit the
security put up by the Central as lessee.
There seems to be some difference Of
opinion whether It Is better for the Geor-
gia railroad TO side with the Louisville
and Nashville and take the position that
IT is now sole owner OF the lease, or with
Thomas and Ryan In their efforts to get
the CentraPs part Of It, or to claim that
default by the Central breaks the leass
and forfeits the 100000 worth of securi-
ties that were put up as a guarantee that
the rental would be paid. 1t Is said the
Georgia railroad directors we're discussing
this question in its various phases, ana
that able attorneys are also studying the
lease and the law and the facts In the
case. Thus far the matter has not got
ten beyond the rumor stage.
