AN ENTR AXCETO THE CITY
THE SOUTH BOUND’S BIGHT OF
WAY AND TERMINAL*
A Committee from th© South Bound’s
Board of Directors to Have a Con
ference with the City Council-The
Subscriptions to the Company's
Common Stock Up to SOO,OOO, and
the Construction Company Subscrip
tions $316,000.
The board of directors of the South
Bound Railway Company held a full meet
ing at the office of Denmark, Adams &
Adams yesterday, at which other members
of the South Bound company and Col.
Mike Brown of Barnwell were present by
invitation.
A committee consisting of CoL J. H. Es
till, Capt. T. F. Stubbs,and Mr. J. Florance
Minis was appointed to confer with the
committee of the city council with refer
ence to rights of way to a terminal point in
the city. It was the understanding that
the conference will be had at as early a date
as practicable.
It was developed in the meeting that the
subscriptions to the common stock of the
company have reached about $60,000, and
that #316,u00 have been subscribed t > the
construction companv, and this will prob
ably be increased to #335,000 here.
south Carolina, to have a chance.
It was suggested that the same opportu
nity be extended to the South Carolina sub
scribers to the common stock of the South
Bound to take stock in the construction
company, limited to about $50,000, and CoL
Brovin Was authorized to see the South
Carolina subscribers and give them the op
portunitv to subscribe to the stock of the
construction company, and to report the
result of his conference at a meeting to be
held in Savannah next week. With the
limited stock subscribed in South
friends of the enterprise in New York, it u
understood, will t permitted to take a
block of about #IOO,OOO stock, although the
entire #500,U00 or more could be raised in
Savannah without any trouble.
BACKED BT SOLID MEN.
A well-posted friend of the enterprise
said yesterday that he had never seen an
enterprise backed by such solid business
men and men of capital as thorn who have
taken hold of the construction company,
and he says, “The success of the
South Bound enterprise, for the
road is to be built, is due to
the fact that the solid moneyed men of Sa
vannah—the business men of the city—have
taken hold of it and propose to push it
through.”
One of the most conservative friends of
the road, and who is a subscriber to both
the common stock and the construction
company’s stock, says that the preliminaries
ought to all t>e arranged w ithin the next
ten days, and probably will be arranged
within that period. He says that within
sixty days a force will be put on the line to
locate it, and this will not be a slow work,
as two surveys have already been made.
EVERYTHING WORKING RIGHT.
The gentleman gave a Morning News re
porter to understand that tiiere is absolute
harmony between the stockholder in
the South Bound and those in
the construction company, and while the
entire subscription to the construction com
pany’s stock could have been easily raised
here, it was thought to be no more than
fair, as was sugg ste 1, tnat the South Car
olina friends of the South Bound should be
permitted to take a proportionate share of
the stock in the construction company, and
to this end Col. Brown was empowered to
take the subscription list oyer to South
Carolina.
He will there give the subscribers to the
common stock the same option offered here
to take the stock of the construction com
pany. CoL Brown left for Barnwell yester
day, immediately after the meeting of the
directors and stockholde s of the South
Bound had adjourned. He will return to
Savannah next week, aud will report the
result to the South Bound directors as soon
thereat ter as may be deemed practicable, to
be followed bv his trip north, tj place the
rest of the construction company stock in
safe hands and among friends of the enter
prise.
WORKING FOH THIS HARBOR.
The Bavannah Delegation to Urge an
Adequate Appropriation.
More than the ordinary interest seem* to
be manifested in the effort to get an appro
priation commensurate with the importance
and needs of the Savannah harbor, and it is
believed that with tho membor of Congre-s
from this district on the river and harbor
committee, reinforced as he will be next
week by the Savannah delegation and the
compilation of port statistics by Mr. F. E.
Rebarer, which the delegation will take
with it, that a more liberal appropriation
will be granted for river and harbor im
provements.
It is understood that Lieut. Carter will
begin next week to dredge the Devil’s
Elbow at the foot of West broad street and
the Garden bank off East Broad street, ft
is at these two points where vessels stick on
tho bank not infrequently, and last year
the Ocean Steamship Company had to
dredge the channel, as there were no funds
available for river and harbor improve
ments.
The Electric Lighting Delay.
The failure of the electric light wire to
come promptly to hand will delay the light
ing of that part of the city south of Gaston
street under the new contract, but President
6. P. Hamilton of tho Brush company says
that it will not operate to extend the time
for lighting tho entire city by the new sys
tem of lights, as the force is at work putting
up the poles north of Gaston street. The
wire expected at a much earlier date did
no: reach Savannah until yesterday, by the
Baltimore steamer, and it is expected that
it will be got up throughout all that portion
of the city south of Gaston street, and the
lights turned on some time next week.
Dennis McAuliffe Dead.
Dennis McAuliffe, notice of whose serious
illness was made in yesterday’s Morning
Pews, died at 11 o’clock yesterday morn
ing. His sisters, Mrs. Murphy of Jackson
ville and Mrs. Crolley of Baltimore, were
with him in his last illness. The deoeasod
was 38 years of ago, a practical machinist
and engineer, aud a respected citizen. He
leaves a wife and three children, the eldest
ol which is but 9 years old. The time of the
funeral has not yet been announced.
The Protests Pouring in.
The taxpayers whose property valuation
was raised by the committee on assessments
of council have begun to make their pil
grimages to the city treasurer’s office to
protest. As there are about 200 in the
“consomme” the book of the assessments
for lhOlXpromises to be well handled, aud
the city treasurer and his staff will find
themselves flooded with questions as to the
wbys and wherefores of the raised assess
ments.
The Lost Truck Found.
Intelligence of the lost aerial ladder truck
was received yesterday. It left Bristol
Tenn., last Monday, and it is expected to
reach Savannah to-day if it does not get
lost again. If It reaches here this morning,
an exhibition test will be mads of it by P. p.
Crolley at 3 o’clock this afternoon. The
truck was evidently trying to find its way
to Savannan, Teuu.

AN EYS ON BAVANNAH.
The Pennsylvania Railroad’s General
Manager In Town.
General Manager C laries E. Pugh of the
Pennsylvania radroaJ. aeo unnamed by
Mrs. Pugh, arrived in Savannah yesterday
afternoon on the Atlantic Coast Line fast
train. They are eu route to Florida to
spmd a few days. The general manager
and his w if a drove over the city and visited
the I)e Soto. Mr. Pugh expressed himself
as pi ased with Savannah, and said that he
n as glad that he was able to stop over here.
When toil that Savannah was preparing
for her sh ire of the tourists, Mr. Pugh re
marked, “Savannah will get them.” He
added that the mild weather north is work
ing agai ist tourist travel, however. The
Pennsylvania railroad special tourist trains,
which are being run from New York to
Florida, he said, are not doing as well as
taey did two years ago. Last year the
fever dissipated travel, aud the weather has
not warranted a heavier travel this season.
The approach of Lent, too. bos something
t> do with a light travel. He pralicted that
after Lent is over travel to the south will
improve.
Mr. Pugh was asked if the great syste n
of which ne is general manager would in
augurate any new schedules or facilitate
travel to Savannah since the city has im
proved its accomodations for tourists. Ho
would not commit himseif, but intimated
that the “Pennsylvania” has its eye on Sa
vannah. It is thought by some that the
object of Mr. Pugu’s visit is to see what
attractions the city has for the tourists and
also to see what are the meas of accommo
dating them after they are here. The Penn
sylvania railroad, two years ago, hauled
from 500 to 780 tourists on its special trains
for a two weeks’ stay in Florida,
and the excursions were very
popular. They are expected next year to
go far beyond this. The people of Savan
nah would like to know if these special ex
cursion schedules could not be made to
Savannah with a two weeks limit and
privilege of going into Florida from here,
if the tourists desire.
“Savannah can entertain them," a busi
ness man said who was interested in the
visit of Mr. Pugh. “The city’s attractions
are as great as any that can t>e found any
where. Its facilities are superior and its
accomodations are not surpassed.”
After tourists have spent some time here
and desire to go farther south, the Plant
system furnishes the best facilities possible,
and within twenty-four hours from the
time of departure from Savannah it will
put them in the heart of Florida. Special
schedules are put on for this purpose.
Savannah has gained the reputation of
bei ig one of the cleanest aud healthiest
cities in the south, and wiile it has grown
to be a bustling and thrifty center of com
merce it affords all the quiet that tourists
desire.
General Manager Pugh, after taking
another drive over Savaurmh to-day, will
leave this afternoon for a few days at Jack
sonville and St. Augustine.
ONE OF SAVANNAH’S NEEDS.
An Exposition Building and Conven
tion Hall.
The building of the Hussars’ bazar hall
and the demand for it for entertainments
and oouoerts, and the effort to secure it for
the spring exhibition of the Floral and Art
association, and as a headquarters for the
Southern Travelers’ Association, during
Merchants’ week, have suggested the
organization of a stock com
pany aud the building of an ex
position building, either on a leased lot or a
iot owned by the company. The movement
was started two or three years ago, but
failed.
There Is a demand for a hall larger than
any in Savannah for fairs, concerts,
exhibitions, balls such as the ebaritv ball
last week, conventions, and large gather
ings which no hall in the city will accom
modate.
“Such a hall would pay for itself in a
short time,” said a gentleman who has been
giving the matter some thought, yesterday.
“It is a shame,” he added, "to allow such a
shell as the bazar hall to remaiu where it is,
and yet there is a demand for it. If a
movement were started now to organize
a company to build an exposi
tion building, something on the
order of the Piedmont exposition
buildings, but so constructed as to be used
as a convention hall and located in a con
venient locality, the money could be raised
within two weeks’ time. Savannah is in
need of a building of that character, aud
sooner or lale;- it has got to have it. There
never was a better tune than now to get it. ”
THE TYBEE ROAD MATTBR.
A Final Decree to be Taken In the
Superior Court To-Day.
The Tybee railway affairs, which have
been litigated in the superior court for more
than a year, are expected to come to a close
to-day. It is understood that a final decree
will be taken if no objection is raised.
The road was involved beyond the hope
of settling in full with creditors, and by
consent of parties iu interest passed into the
hands of a receiver, Mr. Horman Myers,
who operated the road about a
year, extended it to the south end
of Tybee Island, and also to its
terminal property at the'foot of President
street, erecting depot and sueds there, an t
discharging obligations previously incurred
for rights of way. During his receivership
the road was sold at public outcry and was
purchased by a syndicate of the bondholders,
and the decree will operate to discharge the
receiver and confirm the management, f the
property aud sale of the road by Mr. Myers.
There does not appear to be opuosition from
any quarter to the granting of the final
decree.
Following the decree, the new owners of
the property will perfect their organization,
and will operate the road, putting the road
bed and equipments in the best order. The
goodshowing the road made last year, witn
out any special effort to advertise Tybee
and its attractions, affords ground for the
belief shared by the purchasers of the road
that the property will prove to be a valuable
investment.

A QUESTION OF LAW. #
The New York L‘fe Insurance Com
pany in a Peculiar Position.
An interesting injunction case came up
in the superior court yesterday, and a tem
i porary restraining order was granted by
j ;be court until next Saturday, when the
| defendants are required to show cause why
[ the prayer of petitioner should not be
i g: anted.
Tne suit grows out of a life insurance
policy. Aug. 11,1869, the lat* Capt. George
M. Weymouth took out a $3,000 policy in
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany on the te -payment plan, in favor of
his wife, Melissa E. Weymouth. May 3,
1889, Cant. Weymouth died, and the claim
for #3,327 30 was approved for payment.
It appeirs, however, that on Oct. 29, ISS6,
Capt. Weymouth, his wife and heirs join
ing him, assigned the policy to Capt. Henry
Blun as security for a loan, the amount of
the claim being #1,333 91.
Prior to the death of Cant. Weymouth,
his widow, on Dec. 4, 1888, notified the
insurance company that the policy having
been pledged to Capt. Blun for a debt of her
husband, the proceeding was void, and on
April 35, 1889, she again served similar
notice on the company. In December, 1889,
she instituted suit in the supreme court of
New York for the full amount of the policy.
Capt. Blun notified the company that if the
claim of $1,333 91 was not paid him he
would sue it in the superior court, and he
also threatened in a subsequent communi
cation that be will sue in the superior court
for the full amount of the policy.
The insurance company now comes in
and asks the court to enjoiu Mrs. Weymouth
from continuing her suit in the New York
court, and to enjoin Capt. Bluu from suing
the company in the superior court of
Chatham county, and to grant an order
that the company shall pay into the regis
try of the superior court the money it
stands ready to pay on the policy,
and that the court shall discharge
the plaintiff and decide to whom
the fund shall be awarded; also
to award to the Insurance company attor
ney’s foes, costs and expenses of the litiga
tion that it has been drawn into when it
lays no claim upon the money held in its
possession to be paid on the policy. Garrard
& Meldrnn for plaintiff, CoL George A.
Mercer for Capt. Henry Blun. The papers
are returnable at tho March term of the
superior court.
ATTACHED FOR A BAIT CLAIM.
The Schooner Leon 8. Swift in the
Sheriff's Hands.
An attachment was levied upon the
schooner Leon S. Swift, at McDonough's
lower lumber wharf, by Deputy Sheriff
Constantine of the city court day before
yesterday. The attachment is for two bills
of $590 each. AV. G. Sergeant of Maine,
who is bringing the action, claims that S.
S. Switt & Cos., owners of the vessel, are
due the amounts claimed for clam as fish
bait, furnished by Sergeant during the fish
ing season. The procee lings were begun by
Chisholm, Erwin & dußignou, Sergeant’s
attorneys, in Justice Russell’s court.
The schooner was taking on a cargo of
100,000 feet of lumber for Barracoa for J.
S. Collins & Cos., and she was expected to
sail in a short time. Collins & Cos. engaged
her during the early part of the season to
import fruit from Barracoa. The vessel
was engaged for the entire season, and the
inconvenience to Collins & Cos. arising
from the "tie up” of the schooner will be
considerable, and if they are unable to
secure another schooner in a reasonable
timejthev will bring suit against Swift &
Cos. for failure of contract.
A few days ago Swift & Cos. of Province
town, Mass., made an assignment. Tbe
firm’s liabilities are placed at SIOO,OOO.
They conducted a large fishing business. 8.
8. Swift owned a ooutruling iuterest iu six
or seven schooners of the same style of ves
sel as the one now in port, and he became
the general manager of the concern. The
fishing season was comparatively a failure
iast year, and Swift & Cos. failed. The
company’s schooners have been attached at
every port where they have been found.
The Ethel Swift was attached in Charleston
a few days ago. She was in the fish trade,
and was being operated by Bart & Cos. of
Charleston.
J. S. Collins & Cos. are.in telegraphic com
munication with the owners,and Mr. Collins
said yesterday that the owners asked him
to bond the vessel out, but he did not feel
inclined to take bold of it.
If it is possible, however, for them to be
come the custodians of the vessel
by tendering a bond to insure
its being in port at the proper
time. Mr. Collins said it is likely that the
firm will do bo in order to get the use of the
vessel during the remainder of the fruit
season. The case is returnable at tne May
term of the city court.
AT THE THEATER.
Kiralfy’a "Lasrardere" Played Before a
Packed House.
Kiralfy’s "Lagardere” was played at the
theater last night before a packed house.
It was the first of the Kiralfy’s perform
ances that has been seen in Savannah in
many years. While the play was ostensi
bly the attraction the ballet and Mile, de
Rosa drew a good portion of the large uudi
ence. There are two ballets. The first is a
Gypsy revel, in which new and intricate
movements are introduced. The costumes
are gold and black, and tne unusual effect
of black stockings and tights caught the
audience at once. The other ballet repre
sented the seven ages, and introduced chil
dren, coryphees, soldiers, etc. The harmony
of color, of music, aud of movement was
in keeping with Kiralfy’s man
agement. Mile, de Rosa is unques
tionably the premier danseuse that has
ever been seen in Savannah. The play
"Lagardere” is interesting. The plot is
based upon a story of the French court.
The costumes are brilliant, the scenery is
flue, aud the performance throughout is
artistic.
A special matinee will be given this after
noon, and the performance will be repeated
to-night.
CITY BREVITIES.
The fire department has purchased from
Thomas Bowden two large horses, one a

John N. Oaraewell, general superintend
ent of the Gam*well Fire Alarm Telegraph
Company, went over to Cnarleston yester
day, aud will return Monday and go over

H AND ABOUT THE CITY.
THEY’RE NOT OFF YET.
Commissioner Bourquin Will Enforce
the Road Daw.
No official information having yet conn
through the city auth rities to Mr. Bour
quin, chairman of tbe beard of roa i com
missioners,Mr. Bourquin said last night that
as the matter now stands those summoned
to work the Louisville road iu the First dis
trict ill, after all, have to obey toe sum
monses. and turn out.
Unofficially, he said that he has learned
from the Morning News that the county
commissioners will, under the resolution of
Commissioner E-till, make the necessary re
pairs to the Louisville road and Gwinnett
street extended “As soon as the drainage of
tbe Minis swamp shall have been com
pleted.”
“The time is too indefinite,” said Mr.
Bourquin. “It will take a year to complete
the drainage of Mims swamp, and that
means that the Louisville road is to remain
in bad repair fra time beyond that fixed
for working it.”
It appears that Mr. Bourquin was ex
pecting some official communication from
#he city, and as he bad not received it up
to last night he has about made up bis
mind tliat, as the road needs immediate
repair, the only agency at his command is
the enforcement of section 652 of the Code,
and that means that the hoe and spade
brigade must prepare to march to the canal
bridge next Wednesday morning and go to
digging dirt, if prompt action is not taken
sooner by the city authorities or the county
commissioners.
This changed condition of affairs was the
subject of considerable comment among the
West Broad street shopkeepers last night,
and some of those of heavy avoirdupois were
negotiating for substitutes. One man said
he wouldn't work the road if he had to pay
$25 for a substitute, and he is willing to
furnish a half dozen substitutes rather than
use a spade or hoe himself.
The band project has again been revived,
and those who took the summonses good
naturedly before say that they propose to
turn out if necessary and not only do a
good day’s work, but have a royal good
time, and they think they can repair tbe
road in a day.
Referring to the opinion of City Attorney
Adams that tho Louisville road lying
within the corporate limits is not a
"thoroughfare,” Mr. Bourquin and others
say that it is the thoroughfare of the city,
with a vast amount of country travel, aud
should be kept in the best repair.
It is understood that the committee of the
superior court grand jury has had its atten
tion called to the condition of the road,
and if, in its final presentments, it handles
somebody without gloves for the neglect of
the road it need be no surprise.
PUSHING TOWARD STERLING.
The Savannah and Western Completed
to Eupbauphee.
A special train bearing President Alex
ander, General Manager Gabbett, A- R.
Lawton, Jr., ’Chief Engineer Dabney, and
some other officials of the Central, was run
up yesterday to Eupbauphee, a station on
the Savannah and Western railroad,
twenty-two miles out from the junction of
the CentraL The trip was made to inspect
the road.
General Manager Gabbett said that the
progress was very good, aud he thought
that the line will be completed to Sterliug
within three months. Trains are being run
to Buphauphee at present. It is forty miles
out to Sterling. The grading has been
completed with the exception of a small
cut, and when the trestle over the stream
a few miles beyond Eupbauphee is completed
track-laying will Begin. This part of the
work is expected to be near enough finished
this week so that the work of track-laying
may begin early next week. It is estimated
that three-fourths to one mile of rails can
be laid in a day, and at that rate the Savan
nah and Western will be completed to Sterl
ing to connect with the Savannah, Arneri
cus and Montgomery railroad inside of
three months.
It is understood that the connecting line
is rapidly pushing its work forward and
will be ready to handle the business deliv
ered to it by the Savannah and Western in
the early summer. Savannah is thus given
another direct route to the west, through a
portion of the country not before traversed
by a railroad. The amount of business that
is pouring into Savannah by the
line already is very encourag
ing. The line of r, ad is being
built up aud improved by the establishment
of saw-mills, turpentine stills aud farm-.
All of these industries are improving the
business of Savannah. The business is not
taken from any other road, nor is it old
business. It is made by the building of tho
road. It is another instance of the pluck
and go ahead of Savaunah to increase the
business in its own territory; to help the
country people, and by thus doing, help
itself.
Gen. Alexander was pleased with the
progress of the work, and he looks forward
to making the Savannah and Western as
powerful an agency in building up Savau
uah’s commerce as is the Central proper.

R. W. Powers, of the Pulaski, who re
turned this week from a visit to his father

while at home he witnessed a snow storm,
the first snow he had seen for ten years, and
after the feathery flakes had fallen to a
depth of a foot he enjoyed a sleigh ride in
the bracing air, the pleasure of the sleigh
ing being heightened by the tintinnabula
tion of the merry sleigh bells ana the ring
ing laughter of the belles and beaux who
dashed past in the cutters. The transition
from sleigh riding to Savannah, with the
thermometer at 75 degrees and flowers
blooming, he says, can hardly Le realized as
true.
