Object of the Move.

The purpose of the transfer o. the de-
partment is understood to be the neces-
sity felt by the railroad company of es-
tablishing the headquarters of its
freight interests nearer the business
center of the road. 1t is rumore l
among the railroad fraternity that this
move is preparatory to the transfer of
other headquarters departments of the
Southern Railroad Company to Atlanta.
This rumor is not regarded in other
quarters as we'll founded. it being urged
that the recent improvements made in
the company's Office building on PEND
sylvania Avenue afford sufficient evil
dence of the permanent location of its
principal interests in this city.
The general freight department will
hereafter be located in the Equitable
Building, Atlanta. The chief clerk CT
the department, Mr.. T. C. Powell, will
still retain his office in the company
building in Washington
